• Computer that crashed; System Restore which threaten to wipe hard drive

  Hi all

  Today my laptop crashed. So I disconnected and tried to turn it off completely. He got to "shutting down" but does not move, so I had to leave the exhausted battery. Then I rebooted from recovery, is DVD went in safe mode and try to run the system restore. I now have a message saying:

  Packard Bell Recovery DVD!

  WARNING

  ALL THE DATA ON YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL BE ERASED

  [OK]

  There is no Cancel button or anything, just an OK button. They can't be serious, can they? (And I've read since that run the system on a disk restore is a bad idea). It seems I have to press OK or let the battery die again, either disconnect the battery. What should I do?

  Anon

  First disconnect the battery. Now, to get into the mode safe on the hard drive of your computer.  start to boot and then press F8, and then select Safe mode.  Then you can try restoring the system from there. vader95 Windows 95-7 office 97 - 2010 Ubuntu 9.10 - 10.10

  Hello

  ·         You use Windows XP or Windows vista?

  ·         What anti-virus program do you use?

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer before the show?

  You have posted same question twice, one in the category Windows XP and in Windows Vista, if you are facing this problem in Windows XP, you can read this article:

  A "System has recovered from a serious error" message after every restart.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/317277

   

  The computer may automatically restart, or you may receive a "serious error" message or a stop error message in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or in Windows 2000

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/894278

  Follow these methods to solve the problem in Windows Vista:

  Method 1:

  I also suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft Scanner on your computer and check to see if it helps:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 2:

  Also, try to perform the clean boot and check if it helps.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

  Note: Don't forget to start your machine in normal mode by following step 7 of the link.

  Method 3:

  I would say as you try to perform the SFC (System File Checker) scan on your computer and check.

• forgotten user password to connect to the computer that works with Windows Vista Home

  version Windows vista home my daughter composed of a password that she can't remember now, we can't access the computer.  How to enter and reset this password without factory default and lose all the images and files?

  You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

  All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
  NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

  Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How to do a system restore on a computer full laptop gateway running vista home

  I need to do a complete system restore on a computer gateway with anyone who can help me

  Hello

  By doing a "full system restore" do you mean to restore laptop to factory conditions or to restore the laptop to an earlier date using Windows system restore?

  If you want to restore the laptop to factory conditions see this gateway support page:

• Re-setup of creative cloud in a computer that crashed

  I installed Clould Creative in my desktop and my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T530 (A) primary.  Unfortunately, the hard drive of the T530 failed.  To restore this computer to the 'good health', this would mean that creative cloud will need to be reinstalled.  Are there problems/concerns/procedures that must be taken care of prior to re - install in the machine even after a crash?

  Let me say here that, since it is a personal license, it should be possible to install the software on each computer has access to.  As long as an instance is running (and this can be easily verified), avoid any problem.  I understand that the software is actually installed locally and some of the products may be carried out without an active connection to the internet (and therefore the license can terms 'abuse'), but at the time of licensing, limiting the use of the software in a desktop computer and laptop is probably outdated.  I'm currently traveling and because my laptop main broke down, I have with me my older Thinkpad T500, of course, has no installed creative cloud.  This causes a significant problem for me.  I'm sure that I'm not the only one in the same position.

  You should be able to install correctly on your old laptop as long as it meets the necessary system requirements.  If you have previously installed and activated the software on two other computers you may receive a message you need to disable all your activations.  Once you click this button, you will then be able to activate the newly installed system.
