Cannot use any USB device after the upgrade from XP.
Hi, I guess that's an old problem, just my computer from MESH 6 to upgrade to Windows 7, Upgrade Advisor said that there was no problems. Now, I can't use any usb device and the mouse either. Tried evertything and am frustrated. IN XP, there is no problem at all. It must be a Windows 7 thing

Original title: Windows 7 Home Edition
Yesterday, my pc only has a black screen with a cursor. I tried to restore on another point but then after starting upwards and put my password, I get the home screen but cannot open any programs. I can't use the USB stick or cd / dvd drive so how should proceed to solve this? I can't put my external modem to make a back up and I really want to fix this without losing all the data on my pc. I can run programs in safe mode and windows installation disc opens in SafeMode as well, however I can't set safe mode.
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

I ordered the creative cloud Sunday and received a number control but still cannot open any programs. When I check the status of my order online, he says that he can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried to ask in a chat instead of the forum window, but no one answered and after 10 minutes, my screen restarted and closed window cat. It seems a bit frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to communicate with anyone. This habit with Adobe or are they just of technical problems this week?

Error image system original title: windows 7 0 x 81000036
I'm doing a backup system image. When I select this option I get the dialog box 'Create image s system' but it cannot find any 'backup devices on this computer"and lists the error 0 x 81000036.
I have an ESATA connection on my Dell laptop I was trying to make the image on. I use the unit every day to save files and which works very well. He just leaves me CCADE with the system image backup...
any ideas?
Hello
· You have created a system image backup before that?
· You did it changes on your computer?
· Is your esata formatted NTFS drive?
Try to save the image of the boot system: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: make sure that you start the computer in normal mode after a repair.

Cannot eject the USB device.
Cannot eject the USB device. I don't see the icon to safely remove in the task bar.
I tried to run the following path, but not luck.(C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll)
The icon is hidden behind the small arrow in the lower right of your screen. Click on that, and you will see a number of icons, which one will remove safe material one. Be aware that unless you have a removable USB device connected, the icon will not be there.
Good luck.

Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!
Hello
I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
JessWhat do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?Good bye
