• Decryption of a disk of external encrypted by BitLocker on a device that is not BitLocker (Windows 7 Home Premium)

  Hi all

  I have a serious problem I tried to solve a few months now, but without success.

  I have this external hard drive I use to backup my data. These a few months ago, I plugged on my mother's computer to transfer files. His computer has the Windows 8.1 operating system, so it has installed in it and somehow, without giving me permission to BitLocker (and totally, I swear that I have not: D), it must have encrypted my external hard drive. When I then tried to connect it to my computer which runs on Windows 7 Home Premium, it just said that the drive is encrypted and cannot be opened. It does give me an option to enter the password or something like that. It will not only open.

  So, I have the recovery password that I got from my mother's laptop so I can open the external drive into any computer on which BitLocker is installed. But I can't get it running on my computer, which is the one that I need to run it on, of course...

  I checked and analyzed all the forums of discussion and forums and methods for disabling BitLocker encryption on a drive. They all have this method super-easy show where you just have to connect the player to a computer on which BitLocker, and you plug in, you should see an option "disable Bitlocker", after a right click on the device, on the upper left as you have the device open, or via the control panel. I tried to do it on 3 different computers with BitLockers, and none of them gave me such an option. I could only control encryption of the computer itself, but not to any external devices. I'm not kidding, it's just not there. Never.

  I also downloaded some freeware that said they could decipher the reader for you if you have the password, but none of them worked. So please, please, if you have any suggestions, ways I could solve this problem and get the external hard drive to be able to if run on my computer even once, I would be so grateful :)

  Thanks guys,.

  I could only control encryption of the computer itself, but not to any external devices.

  I just plugged an encrypted by BitLocker on a Windows 7 Starter machine flash disk and quickly got the prompt to enter the password. Given that this is not consistent with your own observations, I suspect that one of two things:

  • Encryption has not been successfully completed. Maybe the disc has been disconnected during the encryption process.
  • The disk is not encrypted but corrupt.

  I bring the disc the machine to your mother, save its data to another medium, then remove the encryption and/or distribution & format the drive.

• Device Manager does not not in Vista Home Premium 64

  Well, I tried to help others in the hardware section so maybe someone here can offer some advice for me.

  I'm running Vista 64 Home Premium on a dv9700.  For more than a year the Device Manager did not work.  Everytime I try to open an error window appears which says "mmc.exe - bad Image".  I also have a similar error window when I try to open MS Paint and several other utilities like the option "Manage" when I right click on my computer.  In the fault window is a big red X and it says: "C:\Windows\System32\odbcint.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or support software provider. "In the case of MS Paint, he says"mspaint.exe - bad Image"at the top of the window of the fault, although he then gives the same extended error description as above.  I think that the root cause of all this might be a bad odbcint.dll file, regardless of who is.

  The problem has existed for some time, but I would like to be able to reuse my device manager to check the dates on the drivers and things for updates.  I know I could probably use the system recovery option, but I prefer not to return to the factory default state and having to reinstall all programs, I've added since I bought this computer almost 3 years ago.  Windows used to have a repair option that would repair the system files without deleting the installed programs.  I can't find that on Vista.

  I have already run the SFC/scannow utility from the command prompt at the level of the system administrator.  It passes through the system for a long time and then says it finds corrupted files, but could not solve some of them and go to CBS. LOG file for more details.  When I try to open this log file, it says: 'access denied', even if I have the system administrator access level.

  Someone at - it give me advice without having to restore everything to default "as shipped"?

  If it is primarily the .dll files that are corrupted, you can try to replace them by downloading a copy from the library on the link below.  For example, mmcndmgr.dll avoids Device Manager works if it is damaged.

  Thanks for the link DLL Vista d/l.  I didn't know who was available.  I downloaded odbcint.dll which the fault indicates that this file is either damaged or missing and replaced him in the windows/system32 directory.  Also, I did the same with the file mmcndmgr.dll you mentioned.  I get always the fault of odbcint.dll every time that I try to use the devices, MS-Paint, manage and probably several other things that I have not tried.

  It seems that the only option is to restore the system to default if I want to get this working again.  So during my research, I learned that the downgrade to an older version of Windows is free.  I wanted to sort of go back to Windows XP from Vista 64 that accompanies this laptop since I got it.  I have a Windows XP Pro installation disc that I bought for my desktop PC and all I would need is a free Microsoft activation key which told me they would provide decommissioning.

  However, the support section driver and software for Windows XP here on the site Web of HP has rather limited resources compared to the options for my dv9700 Vista CTO.  On the one hand, there is no graphics driver listed.  I know I probably d/l anything directly form the nVidia site, but this is not the only driver XP or absent utility of the product support for my computer page.  I guess I'll probably use just the recovery Vista DVD that I made when I got my laptop, if I decide I want to do this.

  A F11 recovery that accesses the Recovery Manager in the laptop's recovery partition would be a good plan. When a Windows operating system beghins to exhibit behaviors such as yours is so it's just a matter of time before is no longer, it will start up in Windows.

  I recommend that you create a CD to recover fees just to have the value.

  It is actually faster and more reliable to perform the recovery of the Recovery Manager in the recovery partition from the wear of your DVD drive and recovery CD set since the purchase of your laptop.

  Original title: Recovery of the Device Manager.    Activation of plug-and-play and change registry permissions and allowances. Everything seems to be in order. But Device Manager is still empty.  Concerning

  Please help me if you can. I've been struggling with this problem for 10 days now. I use Windows XP every thing seems to work apart from the Device Manager. I thought at first that I had a problem with the CD/DVD units and eventually the mouse and wireless keyboard, but I then discovered that the Device Manager is empty. I tried to retrieve it using what I thought be set appropriate windows solutions. I also have triedthe solutions suggested by the members in the history of office help. IE: method 1. The Plug-and-Play Service and method 2; Check the permissions change and register. No change, the Device Manager is always empty. I also tried to use the recovery system, but who will return only 5 days. I can't reload Windows like the DVD player does not have the disc. Thanking you in anticipation. Concerning

• Device Version Manager: 6.1.7600.16385 presenting no matter what devices or Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit drivers? This has already been answered? If you don't see it you can check or update all drivers.

  14/07/13

  Whenever the device driver is selected there is just a blank page that appears. There are no announcements of any drivers anywhere, or visible by any way within Windows 7 Home Premium. For this reason there is no way to check on all the drivers or the parts of the system to see if there is no system conflicts.  I have a driver repair program that when search enabled for and comes with a list of drivers on the computer and indicates the factors that bear on a date and will go through the steps to change but since I have no way to see the driver manager or it's poster so I can't say if something is changed.

  If I have something again plug it into a USB Port, the computer recognizes that something has been plugged, but that it will not open the directory automatically, as it used to do.  For example if I put in a CD or a DVD that has auto start it won't, so it's just sitting there. If I use Windows Explorer and click computer directory will show a device for example: DVD has a DVD named such and so in the drawer.

  Plug-and-Play is selected and activated, but it seems that it does not work.  If I plug a USB key into the USB (any USB port) it sometimes it indicates with a beep or a pop-up window indicating something was plugged or removed as the case may be.

  If this file has been deleted, if it is to cause such a thing?  This computer (gateway) has a grounded partition which has a restore works however it resets all default settings etc. or can erase all files.  If there is a way to download the missing files, which makes Driver Manager do its thing, it would be a good thing. Any suggestions?

  22/07/2013

  Thank you for your suggestions. They were a good start, I followed everything as suggested, but nothing helped.

  1. as to the question was just a new program installed before this problem?  The answer could be Yes. But unknown to you, because I can't be sure of the effective date of what's going on.

  I tried to go back, at an earlier date, but it did not help.

  2. for Plug and Play - he already is set to Auto and is active, but it is grayed out and I can't change it. So it turns out that I'm locked somehow. Even if I am put as an administrator.

  3. I went into the registry and everything what you suggested is already there.

  4. the problem still exists.

  Always looking for HELP

  Hi DwBent,

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:

  Were there any software or hardware changes made on the computer before this problem?

  This can cause if the Plug and Play service is disabled (disabled people); I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps and check if it helps;

  Method 1:

  To resolve this problem, set the startup type for Plug-and-Play on automatic. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) click Start, click run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

  (b) double click on Plug-and-Play. If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.

  (c) in the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.

  (d) Community Services.

  (e) restart the computer.

  Method 2: The other reason, Device Manager may be empty is because there are some security issues with the registry key.

  Warning: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

• Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

  Nice day

  I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

  I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.

  Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
  I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

  I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.

  Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.

  Thanks in advance.

• Why are external USB drives not considered "Devices with removable storage" by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium?

  Readers USB Flash RAM, CD drive USB, readers of CD - RW USB, USB DVD +-RW drives and DVD-ROM USB readers are all handled by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as "devices with removable storage".  To check this, look under the "Computer" entry in the menu 'start '.  However, if one uses as a USB external hard drive, that one is listed under 'hard drive '.  Programs noticed this, and some of them refuse to use it as a removable media drive, even if it is technically removable media, with its electronic and all.  It's kind of weird, because you can't remove the RAM on the USB Flash memory drives either.  Is there a way to get readers to external USB hard drive listed under "devices with removable storage"?

  -Yekta

  USB hard drives do not seem material RMB (removable media bit) bit set.

  I tried to format my external drive scratch NTFS (it has been formatted in this way, but I have re-formatted to ensure that), and it always happens as "Local Disk".  Also, I put the "Optimize for quick removal" option on the parameters of the disk driver hard software.  Which doesn't change anything either.  It came even as "Local Disk".  Finally, I formatted the drive with the FAT32 file system (use some flash drives).  The drive still shows as "Local Disk".  In the tests described above, I still "withdrew safely" the disk first and then re-connected.
