Everytime I turn on my XP computer, Windows will ask you to run a file check.

Every time I turn on my computer windows wants to run a check file. I have let it run but she still wants to do it again every time. Is this a virus?

You may need to reset the automatic check of the hard drive.  As user administrator, open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
chkntfs /d

For more information, read the following article:

    It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

  • What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

    What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

    Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

    Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
    Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
    I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.

    Go to the section How to get the last agent to update as it is already installed.  Scroll down to the section on the additional information tab called Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (I checked that it also works under Windows 7).   Choose one that fits your computer (x 86, x 64, Itanium).  Run this update and follow the instructions.  Windows Update will now be reinstalled, but it's a good idea to restart at this point.

If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  • In Windows 7 when you try to copy files to an external hard drive, getting the error "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?

    I know there have been a few posts on this in the past, but I have a slightly different query.

    To copy files from my drive NTFS of Windows 7 64 bit for my Western Digital My Book World Edition II 2 GB player manually, not with the WD software provided), for some files, the following message appears.
    "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The X file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location. »
    After investigation, it appears that Western Digital My Book World Edition II is not NTFS format and is, in fact, driven Linux.
    Their technical support has confirmed that, despite the message, it is safe to copy files and rely on this backup (I want to backup my drive HARD whole so I can do a clean install - so it's really important!).
    Is anyone able to advise exactly what means the message in terms of properties lost?

    If you right-click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, then select Properties, you will see the Details tab of the properties he wouldn't if the files have been copied to a drive not NTFS. They are written in an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the FAT format readers include ADS.

    It depends on the file type of the importance of these properties. If you have spent a lot of time, adding titles and comments and authors and authors e-mail addresses to docprops your Word documents, for example, that the work would be lost.

    If you can live with the loss of these properties, go ahead - standard properties will be re-writings in the file when you restore from backup. It's of course time and resources.

    To avoid this problem, format your external drive to use the NTFS system.

    PC does not want to swithc off

    What kind of PC you are using? A desktop or laptop computer?
    By "doesn't turn off" do you mean that you cannot close it in the start menu? or you can't even by pressing the button on your desktop/laptop?
    If you can turn it off in the start menu then your power button is damaged, and if you can't spend it in the start menu then something is wrong with your operating system.
