  Thank you

  Hi EddieLopezA,

  ·         Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

  ·         You have antivirus software on your computer?

  This problem may occur if another utility or service, for example a virus check program or a program disk monitoring, locked the partition before you try to run the Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe utility.

  I have some steps that may help you.

  Method 1: I suggest you to turn off all third-party applications and check if you have a similar question.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open the start search box, type services.msc and click OK.

  2. in the Services (Local) list scroll the service concerned (for example auditor of virus or disk monitoring tool).

  3. right click on the service and select Properties.

  4. change the startup type to disabled for all applications 3rd - party that could be the cause of the blocking of Chkdsk problem.

  5. click OK/apply.

  6. restart the computer.

  Method 2: If this does not help, try to change the registry value and restart the computer.

  1. click on the start search box, type regedit.

  2. in the Publisher of the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

  \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session manager

  3 change the Boot entry run of:

  autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: (or other)

  TO:

  autocheck autochk *.

  Note: Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  If you want to edit the registry to fix this I urge you to back up your registry before proceeding.

• Instructions not clear for erasure of data from the app

  The mode of deleting the data from an application say go to settings-> general-> storage & use Icloud-> Manage storage (under storage)-> select app-> then choose Edit in the upper left corner.  I am running the latest version of the software and I do not see 'Edit' anywhere.  What I see is "Documents & Data" and the amount f storage that it occupies, followed by an option "Delete app.  What I am doing wrong?  I don't want to remove the application, just all unwanted items it has stored.

  Help!

  It is a function of the application and configured by the developer. Try to go to the application itself and see if it has its own parameters. If the developer did not include a way to clear the cache, then your only choice is to delete the application and reinstall it.

• How to extract data from your laptop with crushed Windows Vista without restoring to the factory settings?

  I ran a few updates, but before you restart the computer, I deleted many files.

  The result is that my Vista does not start, and only offered solution is to restore to factory State, which is not acceptable for me because I need data from the HARD drive.
  Y at - it an easy way to recover data from the HARD drive, or should I contact? Thank you.

  Need help on MS Answers was my last option before calling a service.

  But, luckily, I found a way. I just change the settings in the BIOS for SATA, Vista started, I restored some of the deleted files, and voila - it worked. Another reboot, BIOS have been changed on the previous settings, and now it works perfectly.

• Recovering data from a laptop damaged DVB-3000 BED is possible?

  I replaced a hard drive from a laptop DVB - 3000 COT. There is no additional cable to connect the old drive to attempt data recovery. Are there external adapters to the data recovery attempt? Will it software?

  Links or advice is appreciated

  Hello

  If you want to use your old HDD as an external HARD drive to retrieve data, you can use one of the external envelope as one of them:

  My suggestion, spend a few more dollars to get one with USB 3.0

• Help: How to transfer data from one form to another form form

  Hello:

  I was wondering how / if it is possible to transfer data from form from one form to another form. I create a flow of forms, which are as follows: form of Incident report-> form of risk analysis-> error-> report form decision support survey Standard-> report form of risk control-> form of mitigation-> etc... You get the gist. It would be very time-consuming to constantly transfer the standard who, what, when, where and how from one form to the other. I was wondering how do? I have looked around on the net and this forum and couldn't find a tutorial or a guide? Is this possible with Adobe forms?

  I use a XML schema for the form to preload a list of employees and the standard list information and then publish the form to submit in PDF format for opening and tracking form mobile device. I notice that I can export the data in a form that is distributed in XML but I can't import in a distributed form. I'm a newb with code, but may contain a little of my own.

  An example of how to achieve this with a field name or something would be greatly appreciated! If you need anything, or a copy of the forms let me know!

  Thank you kindly,

  Al

  Hi Al,.

  I have here an example where the data in a single form are 'communicated' to other forms. Please note that there are specific script in each of the forms. It's a work in progress and one day I'll come back make a more polished example: http://assure.ly/qQivbm.

  See also John Brinkman's blog for a different approach: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_1.html and http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_2.html.

• erasure of data from the hard drive?

  Hey Microsoft, I have a problem

  I had two boot(win_xp_pro_and_win_7_ult).they are the two 32 bit.

  so I tried exchanging win xp with win vista ult 32 bit (download, NOT on the cd).

  I started to install and after 4 5 steps made my pc restarted and it stuck at "Please wait windows is to configure your computer" or something similar to this for 30-40 minutes.

  I rebooted it and started on win 7 I started by now. I tried to start the whole process of win 7, hoping that it will not get stuck, but he said I need space on my hard drive I got previously from win xp. So I opened up Explorer and I have seen that there are a few new files (from win vista).

  I tried once more (started on vista) and my pc has been blocked for the same post in front. So I decided to free up space and tried to format the hard drive, but I received a message(on_win_7):Windows was unable to complete the format. I tried to delete all the files, but I've done worse thereby; I get error file missing at the start of vista. I have the installation files on my win 7 and I want to delete everything on my hard drive.

  Please help and thanks in advance!

  Hello

  You want to eventually dual boot Vista and Windows 7.

• I need to destroy the data on my laptop (before I sell it). What software do you recommend?

  I use windows XP.

  If you have installation of an operating system media or are willing to sell your computer without an operating system (if you can), then download Darik Boot and Nuke, that securely erases the entire drive, including any hidden restore partition.

  If you want to delete some files in a selective way and save the lives of others - a pretty risky choice if you are concerned about your personal information - you need to one of various utilities 'Crusher' who claim to be able to do.  Don't forget that you need to "grind" "unused" space this is in addition to the specific files that select you for deletion.

  See http://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=file+shredder I have not used any of these tools. Read reviews of the software on the download sites; some of the apps seem to break some Windows features when they shred the (not terribly surprising) data.

  Hello Sally,.

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. When you say "disable my windows account from my laptop before selling" do you mean delete your user profile on your computer or disable your windows?

  If you want to disable your Windows, you can see suggestions from Microsoft MVPS and the moderator community Andre Da Costa on 23 June 2013 in the thread below.

  However, if you want to remove your account information Microsoft User of your computer before selling it, you can use the Microsoft user account to a local account.
