• "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. »

  Have a laptop Envy M6-K010DX. Due to a problem of the internet while improving to win 8 to 8.1, the PC does not start correctly, and Windows Explorer will not load. Has decided to "Refresh" of the operating system and is gone to F11 restore utilities. When I go to the utility of refreshment and follow the prompts that I reach a message that says, 'the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. "I was looking for support for the unlocking instructions and apart from some commands bootrec (which did not work - probably because I don't have a Win 8 disc) not much is available.

  The only access I have for execution of orders made by the tasks Manager command-line and F11. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Someone at - it any information on that?

  Hello Lara.

  IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

  You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

  In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or

  That's good news. I think you also need to analyze of rootkits being on the right side. So, now:

  Search for rootkits with a program SPECIALLY designed to detect and remove the (aswMBR):

  http://public.avast.com/~Gmerek/aswMBR.htm

  Download this file to your desktop. Double-click the icon to run the program. When the opportunity to download and install the latest Avast definitions do.

  Run a scan. Results in red indicate that this was not a false positive! Do you need to remove the rootkit (including "FixMBR" if necessary).

  And finally, leave your PC on overnight and search for viruses, using this site:
  http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/
  Once we are convinced that your PC is clean, here are my instructions (just in case where you still cannot run batch of Geek-Tech file, etc.):

  1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links for the installation files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  (You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)

  IMPORTANT NOTE!

  It is VERY important to ensure that Internet Explorer is at the level IE6 before installing SP3. In case you have IE7 or IE8, you must uninstall it / them, using the Control Panel Add / Remove programs. Let us know if you need assistance with this.

  Once again:

  Make sure that IE is IE6 level before installing SP3. You can go directly from IE6 to IE8 after SP3 has been installed.

  2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.

  3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  4 set up a clean boot. The last thing you need is for a program that runs in the background to interfere with these updates! (It happens!) For more information:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  (Note that this is the same as setting up a "Diagnostic boot.")

  Reset.

  5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  7 unscrew the clean boot. (That is, return to the Normal startup).

  8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  10 re - enable automatic updates.

  So, basically, I have a Windows Vista. I'm using Google Chrome, but that doesn't really count because I tried on all browsers.

• Error message after you initialize computer error "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.

  After that I turned on my computer, I get this error message... "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

  It all started October 1, 2014, and I have no idea why.

  I asked windows assistance online, and he said he had something to do with my registry.
  But then there just stop communicating and did not tell me how to solve this problem.

  Y at - it a registry repair tool?

  Also it does not affect my computer that I can tell.

  But I have a problem in which windows cannot detect.

  In the printers and devices window, the icon of my computer has a triangle with an exclamation mark inside error.

  Maybe someone out there not and I'd appreciate any help.

  Hey, mark

  First have you properly uninstalled this program? He was executed at startup of Windows an incorrect uninstall may cause this error may still be registered in MSConfig to start automatically with the computer.

  Did you go to the address specified in Program Files (86) \Search Extensions to see if the file is present or not?

  With a mark of exclamtion in the middle of a yellow triangle indicates that drivers must be updated.

  Right-click on the device with the triangle, select Properties, go to the Hardware tab, select the device with a triangle next to it, select Properties again and select Update driver.

  This should solve the problem, if Windows Update can't find a driver for you, you can always go to the manufacturers website and download it there, however, if the Windows Update does not find it there ' has a chance to the manufacturers Web site may not it as well, in this case, you can open Device Manager right-click the missing material or using outdated drivers, select Properties, go to the Details tab and in the hardware id select menu drop-down property search with id, you receive information about the device and so download the drivers the most up-to-date and appropriate from other reliable sources.

• Error setting in the form of CD - RW problem: Windows cannot format this type of disc. Insert another disk and try again.

  Original title: problem formatting CD - RW

  I want to copy some files (word documents) on a CD - RW. I just bought a new box of these discs: Memorex high speed 12 X 800 MB 80 min

  When I put a disc in my d drive, I get the following error message:Windows cannot format this type of disc.  Insert another disk and try again.

  However, I went in the d drive and clicked on delete, just to see if it would work.  It recognizes the disc as a CD - RW, and erased, and said I could now burn files to it.  I tried to copy the files to and and again got the error message.

  If anyone can help me with this problem, I would be very happy!

  Thank you!

  Hi mariec59,

  1 does happen with all disks?
  2. what program you use to burn the disc?

  We recommend you to check if the problem persists with another disc.
  We also recommend to run the troubleshooter for CD/DVD playback and burning. To do this, try the following steps:
  a. see play CD/DVD and burning issues.
  b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
  c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  Also, see burn a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player
