• (Repair) virus killed file system; What is the best way to rebuild the system?

  System of Vista Business 32 bit SP2 from my child was hit in the wrong by a virus; When you run the repair virsu he deleted system files infected and he now gets repeat BSOD.

  No, the Startup Repair is not going to fix the system, and the virus seems to have killed all the restore points. also can not get SFC / SCANNOW to run correctly.

  So: I went to (a huge field of) struggling to set up a Slipstream installation DVD of Vista SP2 (since the original installation disc supplied with the system was only vanilla Vista).  I thought that I could load that and select the 'Upgrade' option and simply rebuild the Windows system, keeping all my programs and data.

  But no, after loading, the system informed me that "upgrade has been disabled", as well as the comment for clarification: "-to update, launch the windows installation"-that sure I can "t do since I can't display the corrupt system virus even in safe mode.

  SO - I have a few questions:

  (1) FIRST: was first my hypothesis?  In other words, if I COULD bring up Windows on the machine damaged (even if only in safe mode), would be the upgrade, go ahead and work - whereas the old system corrupted virus was also VISTA SP2?  Or - the installation would inform me that he could NOT make an upgrade because it would detect that the previous version was indeed also VISTA SP2 and therefore "knowledge" that he could not (really) do an upgrade?

  (2) assuming that the answer to #1 is 'yes', then: is there a version of Vista Installable (same one I might need to buy) that could make the upgrade, even if the Windows system being upgraded can not come?  IF this is NOT the case: what is an installable version upgrade of Windows 7?  or it is the sad reality that no matter what version of Windows I buy, I can't choose the 'Upgrade' option unless the installation is load/run Windows on the upgraded system?

  From previous posts, I have all kinds of good advice on how to retrieve data on corrupted system files, so if there is no other alternative, I'll do it - but this is my last resort because:

  b its a lot of your time working are going to extract all the files and

  (b) his work even more of your time then having to charge all third party software (including some I have no disks to install for more) if I find myself

  having to do a clean install of Windows.

  So, if there is no alternative to an upgrade - if I have to shell out some $$ for a new version of Windows, I prefer to do that.

  Appreciate all advice-

  Hello RDougShelton,

  Take a look at the following article:

  Cleaning a compromised system
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

  If there is a virus on that system, in other words, there is no way to be always sure that she has been completely removed outside of the shaping machine and put it back.

  There is no guarantee that an inplace upgrade will fix this problem.

  I recommend to backup your data you mentioned in your original post.

  Best regards

• What is the best type of file for dissemination of a dvd to DLNA compatible TV?

  Hello all. I have an old pc running xp pro sp3, Media Player 11 and Nero Media Home Esentials 4 as my DLNA server. I just bought a LG TV which is DLNA certified. How can I get my collection of films to broadcast on television? Hard, the TV is connected to my home network and my Netflix subscription works very well and my music stream beautifly. My movie collection is stored as iso files, but the LG TV nor the nero software recognize the iso as a file to read. What would be the fastest way to convert these files and what is the best file format to maintain the quality of the original dvd format? So far, I absolutely love the DLNA but I saw some mpeg and avi video and the quality is very poor. I have one of my iso dvd of for a rip avi file, but the quality is once again, poor.

  Thanks for any help in getting myself educated with my new toy!

  Scott

  If you ask me, I prefer MKV and H.264 - they are easily superior to DivX and MPEG2, IMO.

  But even once, as Barb says, try your luck on the LG forums as well.

• What is the best way to install XP on Vista Equium A100-338

  I want to install XP on my Equium A100-338, who has already installed Vista. What is the best way to do it, I heard a lot of bad luck stories trying to do!
  I do it only as a new software, with that I need to work only works on XP.

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you must install the XP operating system on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Using these two s OS has many advantages. For example, you can always test the Vista and the new Microsoft features that are available in Vista and, in addition, you can use the XP if you need to run some programs and applications that are not fully compatible with Vista.

  Then first ask how o create a second partition in Vista.
  Well, this can be done in disk management. Right-click on the my computer drive management made right click on the disk to manage and modify the size of the partition.
  Then the free space on the HARD drive can be activated, and you can create the new partition.

  Then simply boot from Win XP and install it on the second free partition.
  The Toshiba drivers needed should be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  Good luck

• What is the best way to read this binary file?

  I wrote a program that acquires data from a card DAQmx and he writes on a binary file (attached file and photo). The data I'm acquisition comes 2.5ms, 8-channel / s for at least 5 seconds. What is the best way to read this binary file, knowing that:

  -I'll need it also on the graphic (after acquisition)

  -J' I need also to see these values and use them later in Matlab.

  I tried the 'chain of array to worksheet', but LabView goes out of memory (even if I don't use all 8 channels, but only 1).

  LabView 8.6

  I think that access to data is just as fast, what happens to a TDMS file which is an index generated in the TDMS file that says 'the byte positions xxxx data written yyyy' which is the only overload for TDMS files as far as I know.

  We never had issues with data storage. Data acquisition, analysis and storage with > 500 kech. / s, the questions you get are normally most of the time a result of bad programming styles.

• What is the best approach to the conversion of the LV7.1 tags to the variables shared by several screws LV2012?

  What is the best approach for the upgrade of the DSC-LV2012/LV7.1/DSC static variable tags in several screws running on several platforms? Our system is made up of about 5 PC running Windows 2000/LV7.1 DURATION, the more a PLC and a PDC running XP/SP3/LV2012. About 3 PC publish information from the sensor through tags on the local network to the PDC. Only the main command is currently being upgraded. Basic questions:

  1. the other computers running RTÉ 7.1 (with labels) will be able to communicate with the PDC running 2012 (shared variables)?

  2. is it necessary for conversion of tags shared variables, or the deprecated legacy tag screws of LV7.1 work in LV2012?

  3 all of the main controllers will be screw must be integrated in a project in order to use shared variables?

  4 is the only way to do it is to find all the tags and replace them with elements of shared variable?

  Thank you in advance with all the information and advice!

• What is the best suond of quality I can rip a cd with windows media player, which can be read by itunes

  I'm putting my windows media files in iTunes to play on a stereo system.

  I am after the best quality possible and do not want to be caught in the trap in appleworld but there is very little ipnut devices that support what anyone else than apple.

  I also have a Samsing Galaxy SII I want to play music.

  I, therefore, plucked a few CD in windows media player using WAV (lossless) format.

  When I try to add a folder to library in itunes songs appear under unknown artist and I can't recognize the format.

  Anyone know what is the best quality download I can do which can be dealt with by media player AND iTunes?

  Thank you very much.

  John

  Why use iTunes AND WMP AND a Galaxy? Use one of them.

  The reason for which you you hide it all under "Unknown", this is that wav files are not encrypted when you ripped them. You must add the titles to the hand. However, your Galaxy will not be able to read them.

  You could rip as mp3 at a rate of 320 files - negligible loss of sound quality at a high rate, or as a file flac.

  You can use a codec for WMP for files flac and I don't know if iTunes can read - I never use it for reading. Check the plug on the Apple site. Yet once, however, the Galaxy cannot.

  However, they can read mp3 files, as can your Galaxy (I have a). To transfer files to the Galaxy its recommended to use Kies software (available on Samsung website)...

  If you were to use a program like AudioGrabber (Google for it, its freeware) coupled with the Lame codec (follow the links on the site of AudioGrabber) then you can rip from CD directly to mp3 at a rate of 320 that WMP + iTunes + your Galaxy can read.

  Hope that waffle above is clear,

  See you soon,.
