• should I really a complex login password?

  I use a laptop while attending night school to get a higher degree of security of Information systems. One of the things that briefly covered in course of last night is on the recovery of the lost Windows login passwords, as well as their reset. Given that we have actually demonstrated how to get into such a system, and as such, the tools are available pretty much everyone around me, is there much of a point using a hard-to-remember, hard to type complex login password? A simple (but hard to guess by humans, although easily broken by l0phtcrack) easy to type and remember password discourage someone by chance loggin and trapping me or do things, but anyone who would be committed to participate in the school has the tools and knowledge to do so.

  They boot CD, crackers, etc. I put a BIOS password, I think that there are ways around this. I know that there are jobs, I've just never bothered to investigate a laptop.

  In light of this, it is really worth the aggravation to use these complex passwords on my laptop? I want to store anything of value on the laptop. Just about everything what I record is stored on a flash drive, anyway, and I have my browser remember not the words of past value.

  The laptop is also old enough that few people will want to fly for the material.

  Hello

  Login and password BIOS is not enhanced security measures. For the most part, they stop the curious. In fact you do not have
  must have a password of connection at all and the system boots directly to the desktop of the default user.

  If you need security for important data then the encryption of files and folders, and could even the entire disk
  be used.

  "the u of typed password does not meet password policy requirements, check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements"

  Hi MedoXW,

  This means that you must create a password that meets all of the requirements

  1. make sure that the password is at least 6 to 8 characters.

  2. make sure that the password includes at least 1 capital letter, 1 number and a symbol as "!" or "$".

  3. make sure that the password is not one that you have used in the past.

  Follow all these rules and it should work.

• Reset password in Vista running VMFusion

  How can I connect to Windows Vista on a Mac under VMWare Fusion when you don't know the password?  Vista has been installed using VMWare Fusion in 9/08.  No password is needed to connect to Windows Vista.  Now in 11/08, after not having used Vista in a few weeks (2 months after installation), it asks me a password that I did not know that I have created.  I tried "*" (without the quotation marks), the VMWare Fusion Easy Install password and several other obvious passwords without success.  Vista requires you to reset your password every 2 months?

  Vista of the message "the user name or password is incorrect".  Trying to reset the password, the password reset Wizard don't ask for a floppy drive when there is no floppy drive on the Mac.

  Is there a way to reset the password without having to re - install Vista?

  You don't have to install anything or create a virtual machine in order to use the tool's password!

  All you need to do is fix the image cd080802.iso to CD/DVD drive of the Vista virtual machine via its settings and start the Virtual Machine Vista from the CD/DVD.

  Consult the help file to see how to assign an ISO Image on CD/DVD the correct VMware Virtual Machine, not one you just created in order to use this tool, which is not necessary and probably why you can even see the virtual hard disk that is correct because as I have already said, it seems that you do not work with the basics correctly the machine virtual on the previous attachment of files and image.

  To start the Virtual Machine after you have attached to the correct virtual machine, you may have some difficulties and you can thank VMware for this because they do not it is easy to start an Image of CD/DVD/ISO after a Virtual Machine is created because the Virtual Machine boots so fast, it is difficult to make appear the Start Menu and you may manually change the .vmx file of the The target VM to either add a delay to change the boot order in the BIOS.

  Take a look at my answer in the following thread for additional information that can hel to allow the start of the Image of CD/DVD/ISO. You can ignore the first paragraph about VMware SCSI drivers because the password reset tool works as is, so you can start reading at "If the Virtual Machine is not boot from the CD/DVD or ISO Image then select the CD-ROM in the Boot Menu." Re: Reinstlling Windows

  > Would it be why it does not recognize the Windows software as a specific device?

  Another interesting element is that I allocated 80 GB of space for VMWare Fusion program.  It is NOT partitioned in Boot Camp.

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

  "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:

• Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

  There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

  DeskJet 710

  DeskJet 712

  DeskJet 720

  DeskJet 722

  DeskJet 810

  DeskJet 812

  Deskjet 820

  DeskJet 822

  DeskJet 1000

  The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

  [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

  First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

  Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

  Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

  This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

  This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

  Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

  Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

  Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

  MD c:\temp

  CD \temp

  Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

  [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

  Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

  *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

  Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

  Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

  Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

  Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

  NET Start Spooler

  Output

  [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

  At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

  Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

  Mick4 wrote: the problem is that I only could unzip the 3 dll files but don't know how to replace the bad dll files. Mick 4

  If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

  

  Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

  Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!
