• FixIt center operating system is not compatible Windows and update does not work due to 8007066

  I have an Asus Essentio with Windows 7 Professional. Although the computer was working ok, I installed the FIX It Professional [I bought it to install on my computer to girls] for the interview. Since then, I had several problems with slow MSN Mail and slow performance. I uninstalled the product and to restore the computer to the date of installation of the software. Here are some of the problems I have:

  When you try to run Microsoft difficulty It Center I get a message "the operating system is not compatible and must be XP or newer" which it obviously. I've used this program in the past without any problems and actually have a user account, but it still does not work.

  Trying to access Microsoft support told me that the software is not "enabled" even though it says it's under System properties, and the product number is not saved, even if it has been for more than 8 months.

  Whenever I click on the MSN butterfly, a security message wonder if Explorer is allowed to make changes to my computer. Not a big deal, but remember why nobody liked Vista and I would like to get rid of him.

  A Windows Update does not work due the 8007066f, who doesn't have a solution, but updated logo keeps interrupting my work.

  Thanks for any help.

  I suggest an Inplace upgrade to fix your computer.

  The upgrade in place is a tool to fix the system. Thanks to the special upgrade process, we will be able to repair the system. The upgrade in place will not affect the settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer. Although this operation will not remove or modify the files and installed programs, I suggest always that you back up important files before you do. In addition, you may need to reinstall the device drivers after this operation.

  The detailed steps are included as below:

  On-site upgrade
  ====================
  1 log on to the system first.
  2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the DVD drive of the computer.
  3. Click Start and select computer.
  4. find the "setup.exe" file in the DVD-ROM and double-click it.
   
  5. click on install now.

  6. When you are prompted to enter the product key, please click Next directly without entering any key. The installation wizard will prompt and ask if you confirm to install Windows 7 without the key and choose please confirm.

  7. When you get to the screen ' which type of installation you want', click upgrade to upgrade the Windows 7 system files.
   
  Note: When running the upgrade on the spot, the system will restart automatically (several times) to merge the files and programs, please leave the computer alone and does not configure it until the 'upgrade on the spot"finished. The system should start Windows 7, once it is upgraded. Once the computer is running "upgrade on the spot", you can go and leave the computer and it completes automatically.

  Let us know if that helps.

• [SOLVED] Help fixing 'file two systems with the same uuid were detected.

  I have a Setup ESXi embedded (installed on a USB key connected to the internal USB port) on a Dell T710 with few of the SAS drives.  I tried the upgrade to 4.0 - 294855 to 4.1 - 348481 by following the instructions here via:

  esxupdate--bundle=/vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/path/to/upgrade-from-esxi4.0-to-4.1-update01-348481.zip update

  Even if it is done correctly, when I restarted I got a purple screen with this message on this subject:

  The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue.

  Two systems with the same UUID files have been detected.  Make sure that you do not have two installations of ESXi.

  So, he tried to update one of the SAS drives internal versus inside USB key...?

  I studied this time before & found a threadwhere posted to help, but it wasn't enough to get me going.  Tonight, I found KB1035107 which details how to fix this, but I have a few concerns:

  • How can I identify the drive that has the invalid ESXi installation?
    
  • Better yet: How can I identify who / disc is the one with the ESXi installation I want to keep?
    
    • I know that I can use esxcfg-mpath-l., esxcfg-mpath-band esxcfg-scsidevs-l to collect the disk & LUN information.  But what happens if it wasn't a built-in installation?  If ESXi was installed on one of the SAS drives, how could I confirm which drive it actually installed on?
      
  • What is the worst that could happen with the performance he commands in the KB above?
    
    • Do I need to worry about migration whatever data is stored elsewhere there until I can get through this?
      

  Finally, and perhaps more important than these other issues:

  It is for me a way to specify which disk/drive/device to target when executing upgrades, more precisely from 4.0 to 4.1?

  How can I perform upgrades in the future without having to worry about this nonsense?  I don't want to have to disconnect from the LUN/warehouses of data whenever there is an upgrade (major or minor).

  
  Thank you very much.

• LV Application Builder: fixed error "the system cannot find the file specified."?

  Hi all

  I don't mind banging my head out of something that feels complex, but it's still frustrating to be baffled by something that seems simple... I have LabVIEW 2014 and Application Builder. I've built a program that works perfectly as a VI, and then compiles and runs without fault as a .exe. But I can't get the installer to work. I get the following error:

  

  The suggestions in this thread and this KB article, I created a new specification to build installer, then a new application build spec, then a new project with all my screws in, build and test setup at each stage. None of this seems to make a difference.

  I ran the installer as an administrator, I created the Advanced installation directories (in which case it does not have the privileges to create folders) and built an installer without the performance in. None of this worked either. Finally, I played a bit with put all my subVIs in a library.

  So I guess it's a quirk in my program from the tutorial worked. Does anyone have any experience or advice on what specific aspects of a piece of Nice program with AB installers? It is a primary VI, less than a dozen, some Type Defs and no material integration subVIs. Seems to be a program fairly simple and straightforward, but maybe something in it is persona non grata with Application Builder?

  Are you running in deep subfolders with long folder names and file names? Perhaps some of the paths are getting too much time managing?

• Update Windows Installer is dead & now: 0x0000007B blue screen (0x80399BB0 0 x 0000034 0x00000000 0x00000000) AND a fix will prevent the system from starting.

  I was installing updates of windows and the computer is dead in the middle of it.  When I turned it back on it brought me to a blue screen with error codes: 0x0000007B (0x80399BB0 0 x 0000034 0x00000000 0x00000000).  It prompted me to do a system restore or to get to the system recovery, however it shows that there is no available restore points (even though I know that there are a bunch of them... because I checked this before I tried to make the updates of windows).  I went into the system recovery & the scan of my system with a scan of the additional memory, and there is nothing wrong with my real hardware.  The error recovery of the system that was given to me after the scan of my system is "a fix prevents the system to start.".  I looked at different positions in line with methods to get around this, but none of them does not seem to work.  Vssadmin does not appear on my system to try to use it again.

  I also tried cela http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistarepair/thread/8b3e2550-c174-486f-b5dc-98260abc05f9, but as I mentioned before all my restore points have disappeared and when I try not to make method 4 there is no pending.xml file and these registry entries do not exist: HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving, HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier.

  I'm almost done try all this and ready to make a fresh Windows... Install but I hate to really do this knowing that everything was working fine before all this & my hardware is fine... If I could just figure out how to get rid of this darn update all this hangs then all would be well.  Anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  When a computer dies in the middle of an update, it often corrupts many system files leaving no other choice than to reinstall. This is why it is always recommended that laptops/notebooks be connected when you install updates. If Windows was trying to replace a critical system file when the power is off, there are very little that you can do to fix it. If possible, start with a system for the Recovery Console disk and try running "sfc/scannow" to correct or replacement of the damaged system files, but does not satisfy, you are faced with a relocation.

• Impossible to mount the drive external HARD under Ubuntu Linux - file system damaged and MFT

  I get the following error when I try to mount my external hard drive on my Ubuntu.

  UNABLE TO MOUNT
  Error mounting/dev/sdc1/media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2: command-line ' mount t 'ntfs' o ' uhelper = udisks2, nodev, nosuid, uid is 1000, gid = 1000, ask dm = 0077, fmask = 0177 "" / dev/sdc1 "" / media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2 "' came out with the exit status no lame 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: input/output error".
  Cannot read MFT, mft = 6 count = 1 br = - 1: input/output error
  Could not open the FILE_Bitmap inode: input/output error
  Failed to mount ' / dev/sdc1 ': input/output error

  NTFS is incompatible, or there is a hardware failure, or it's a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows, and then restart Windows twice. Using the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID then frst activate and mount a different device under the/dev/map/directory, (for example/dev/map/nvidia_eahaabcc1). See the documentation for 'dmraid' for more details.

  It is not mount on windows either: "i/o device error".

  This is a disk with a single partition hard ntfs

  Of course, I tried chkdsk /f. reported several file segments as unreadable, he didn't say if he fixed them or not (apparently not). also tried with the indicator/b.

  ntfsfix reported as corrupted volume.

  TestDisk was able to correct a small error with the partition table by adding the '80' for the active partition indicator (only). TestDisk also confirmed that the boot sector was very good and it corresponded to the backup. However, when you try to repair the MFT, he could not read the MFT. He could not also the list of files on the hard drive. It says file system may be damaged.

  Active @ also shows that the MFT is missing or damaged.

  I tried to replace the USB cable. Has not changed anything. I tried to update the driver. Windows reported that he was already up to date. Yes, the pilot has been activated.

  So, how can I fix the file system? or MFT? or the I/o device error?
  I used the HARD drive for months. This problem started 2 days ago. I also tried to mount it on other computers, without success.

  Hello

  I'm sorry to read about problems with your drive.
  Unfortunately, I think that the question is misplaced a bit as your case appears to be the health of your rather external HARD drive that a specific problem related to Linux.

  To add clips, if the tools you use have failed to fix your drive, then I do not think that a user 'normal' forum will no longer.
  I know it's a fine recommendation and probably just add salt in your wounds: If you really care for files, do a sector backup before doing any file system / partition own modifications.
  The reason is very simple - if the tool you use has made a mistake when judging what actions are the right ones, and submit these changes, you move your goal - and fast!
  Instead of repairing, the tool can simply corrupt data even further.
  Any subsequent change aggravates the disorder exponentially.

  Judging by the details in your message, I'm sorry to say that I think your drive is defective, or at least the data is lost.
  Of course some companies will probably be able to restore it, but that normally costs a fortune.

  Unless you are willing to spend astronomical amounts of money on data rescue, so I suggest to accept data loss and look at what you can do with the HARD drive.
  Try to format. No problem, this indicates the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  Sorry for so little help.

• Startup error - file is missing or corrupt: windows\system32\config\system

  When I turn on my computer, I get the following error message:

  Windows could not start because the following gile is missing or damaged:
  Windows\System32\Config\System
  You can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD.
  Select the rat the first screen to start repair.

  I can't solve this problem because I do not understand what to do.
  First of all, I put in the recovery CD Toshiba to installation and then I turned on the computer.
  When the Toshiba screen came on I pressed r
  Nothing happened and I was returned to the original error message

  Secondly, I tried holding down c when I turned on the computer because that's what cd said to
  The CD loaded and brought me to a screen that asked me if I had backed up all my files
  I've supported them all upward, only some, because previously there was no problem with the computer and I don't think I have it will re-start.
  I hit not and so I do not know what to do next.

  I can lose everything on my computer, otherwise I'd just re - load windows. What should I do?

  Is anyway for me to back up my documents and then reload everything, or is there a way for me to fix the entire system without erasing it?

  Thanks for your help
  Josh

  I agree with kody. You can try to fix it using windows advanced option menu. Maybe you can also try to repair Windows by using the recovery console. Problem is that this option can be used with Microsoft WXP CD facilities and not with supplied recovery media.

  Hello

  You are able to access the advanced boot menu by pressing F8 while turning on the unit?

  If you are able to do so, you should try to start the computer using one of the advanced options available in the start menu.

  You can try to start the laptop computer using the last known good configuration or you can try to repair the system by automatically selecting the repair my computer option, you can try to start the machine in safe mode to access important data on the HARD drive.

  Finally (after data backup) I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery media

• professional XP System Restore does not

  My system restore doesn't work on my xp professional and I think that there are errors in registry. Can anyone help please?

  What does "does not?

  Why do you think there are errors in the registry?

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, Comodo, PC Tools, etc.

  What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Have you ever used the system restore to restore your system in the past?

  Describe exactly what happens when you try to perform a system restore and the error messages you see which indicates that it does not work (some thing besides 'it does not work").

  Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.

  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.

  Note that if you do a Safe Mode system restore, you will not be able to cancel it and there is no option on the System Restore screen for "Undo my last restoration" as you would if you were to restore your system from a normal startup.

  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

  Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

  No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:

  Download, install, update, and make at least a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.

  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
