• Dual boot, how to transfer programs and files from one XP installation to another?

  Due type virus problems and the inability to get things working properly after I finally removed them, I tried to repair windows xp by using the disc that came with the computer (Systemax). Apparently, I managed to rInstaller windows xp pro with the new version under windows.0 and the old version under windows. The new windows.0 boots and is beautifully, and I can find with my old programs and data files. Unfortunately, none of the old programs seem to be accessible. I can reinstall most of them, but what a chore. I can not even the old windows at startup (it literally takes over half an hour) and many programs take a long time to come, if they. Virtually unusable.

  What can I do to have access to the previous programs using the new installation of windows xp pro, so I can simply remove the old windows entirely or at least not do it as an option whenever I start.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It seems that you have made a parallel installation on the system (installed a new operating system on the same partition), we recommend only if a person has to back up files/data that is present on the system.

  You cannot transfer programs in this way and we do not recommend you to have two operating systems on the same partition. I suggest you to save files which and records that are important and then do a format clean installation of Windows XP on the system.

  Unfortunately, you need to install the programs on the system in order to to use.

  I suggest you to check the article mentioned below.

• How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?

  How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
  I uninstalled Nero 8 on my system (Windows Vista Edition home premium, 64-bit dell 1737 studio system); but several Nero files are always stuck in my registry. How can I remove them without destabilizing the system? Thank you.

  Yes, Nero is a software that I hate. I liked Nero until 6 version, I think, but after the Version 8 and 9, it was pathetic.

  2 years ago I had uninstalled a lot of software and there were many many registry entries obsolete - when a search I found that a member of a forum on the Web recommend CCleaner.

  Used from 2 years - each time without making registry backups. He never did wrong with my two PC - Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 (previously Windows 7 RTM).

  The registry cleaner is fantastic.

  In which case you can try it, here's the download link.

  WARNING: Installation be sure to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome options.

  CCleaner automatically prompts you to create backups of registry before she cleans up the registry. The choice is totally yours.

• How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  Hi Harry,.

  Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).

  The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup.   Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html.  Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder.  Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.

  Another option is to do this by using the registry editor.  If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin.  Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html.  I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.

  If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning.  If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured).  It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.

  I hope this helps.  Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time.  Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.

  If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer.  If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.

  Good luck!

• DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

  Hello how are you?
  DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

  I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

  (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

  (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

  If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

  All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

  Good luck.

• Cannot open e-mail messages. MSG, it's that there is no program associated with this file and define and association. Have no clue as to how or what program choose. Thank you jp__

  problem is email

  I assume you are talking about email attachments.  Each attachment has a three-character extension that associates the file with a program (in the start menu / default of programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and then scroll through the list for the three-character extension).  Many are well known (.doc for Word Documents) and .pdf for Adobe Reader documents, but some are not so well known.  Some are also used by several different programs is sometimes important to know what program created the file in order to know what program to associate with her.  Your best bet since it is emails is to ask the sender to you say the name and version of the program so that you can install a program that can at least find out if is not working with the file if you do not recognize the extension.  Some attachments to e-mail are not intended to be read and there are programmatic reasons and must not be opened (but I can't give you a list of all of them - barely know they exist).

  Sometimes you can google the extension (for example, google .avi http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) and a link arises which will tell you what programs can do the file type and which programs can read or work with the file type (or you may need to go to other links to get this reversal - in this case a lot of programs can open the file because it is a very common file for which many different programs have been developed - program that it becomes irrelelevant).  If it's a single program, so you know what you need.  If more than one program, you must the sender to tell what program you used to create the file unless the .avi file that can be read by the host (or you can guess or try different options until you find one that works but this can take a long time, can damage the open file with wrong program and can be expensive if you buy one of the programs that you are testing).

  In fact you do not define an association.  When you install the program, the extensions it can handle are identified by the Setup program and included in the listing file associations.  In fact, there is no way to add an extension to the registration of the association - you can change the programs that are used by the extensions in the list by default.  Some extensions are added automatically by Vista when installed and work a little differently than others (for example, .lnk or .exe), but we don't need to go into that, unless the extension you are having problems with is one of those (you don't mention the extension so I can't give you advice).

  I hope this helps.

• How can I open and manipulate files (convert?) a database created on a PC with Corel Paradox 9 on my iMac?

  Hello again once, someone can tell me how I can open and manipulate (convert to Excel?) a database file created on a PC with 9 of paradox to Corel on my iMac?  The answer would be as simple as buying the paradox for Mac?  I don't even know if Paradox is offered for an environment of Apple but if so that could be the way for me to go there, otherwise, I guess that the only other way to use the database would be to convert it to Excel.  Thank you.

  Tony

  Try to export the program PC CSV file or a tab-delimited text files. Both can be imported into Excel and other DB programs. I don't know what kind of Paradox file format uses, but you can try its importation to the module of data in Free agency. It's a free app.

• How can I find a missing file

  How can I find a missing file for microsoft office 2010 which has been installed on the pc when I bought it. the file is: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OEMOffice14\0Starter\en-US\WelcomeDocument.dotx

  Hi starr456,

  This is something tricky, simply because the Starter is not available anywhere to download (it's the OPK only), and it is not available to resettle them in the HP Recovery Manager. After researching this for awhile, it seems to me that your only option to get Starter upward and the execution is to perform a recovery of the HP System. This restores all of the original software, including programs that are not available to resettle them in the Recovery Manager. He is also the 'nuclear option' and will completely erase everything on your computer. You will need to back up all personal files that you do not want to lose.

  If you're desperate for Office Starter, you can use this recovery method. But if you're open to exploring other alternatives, you might want to try a freeware productivity suite (like OpenOffice, for example).

  Here is a link to the instructions for performing a HP system recovery for Windows 7. If you have a different version of Windows, let me know and I'll post a different link.

  How to transfer programs from c to d?

  Hello

  Have you tried to clean the junk files that are normally found on your c: drive? To clear the temporary files click Start-> run, type & -> % temp %-> click ok. Delete all files in the temp folder.

  Also to recover space on the partrition, you need to run Disk Cleanup and compress old files. See also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324.

  To start disk cleanup, open my computer-> click drive c :->, right click Properties-> you get a tab for disk cleanup.

  If you do not plan to uninstall the service pack you can try to remove the $NtUninstall in the windows folder.

  Note that the folder is marked as hidden, so to see it, you must have configured Explorer to show hidden files/folders.

  You can also (for the record of $ $NtServicePackUninstall): If you want to keep these files to uninstall later goal you can make a backup of the folder to a CD for example and replace when uninstalling.

  You can also try disabling the system restore and disable hibernation (Hibernate mode writes an image of what you are currently working on a special folder on your hard disk and then shuts down your computer almost completely). To turn off Hibernation: click Start-> Control Panel-> Performance and Maintenance->, click Power Options.

  If you want to move the files to program from C to D, the best way is to uninstall and custom install applications on the D drive.

  I hope this helps.

• How to block the registration of files with a windows xp-specific extension

  How to block the registration of files in windows xp with a specific extension, example the user cannot save a file with the extension exe or mp3 or another, as management on the filtering of files, windows 2003 server, I can't find the steps for the blocking process I mean in windows xp prof

  Windows cannot do natively.  A file name is simply a file name and you can not prevent the registration of a file based on its extension.

  You can change file associations, such as a double click on a file with a particular extension will not automatically launch an application given, however, but that's not what you asked.
  You may also schedule a program to run from time to time which will erase all files with a given as well.  but until this program is executed, such a file might exist on your disk.

  a. to do this, click Start, click principally made programs, on Accessories, click command prompt

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow

• I need to learn how to remove trojan my computer files and the registry.

  Original title: cleaning your pc

  I need to learn how to remove trojan my computer files and the registry. There is a financial has now attached ittibu or something. and how to remove the event source errors and all that is connected to this.

  If you make financial transactions online and feel your system has been compromised, the more experienced people will recommend wipe you your HARD drive and reinstall your XP from scratch, but that is not always possible and of course is up to you depending on how you feel about this (you need to feel good about it).

  If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

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

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

  http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

  Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

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

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If you need help interpreting your logs in Event Viewer, follow these steps:

  Here is a method to display specific information about individual events.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  The most interesting newspapers are usually the system and Application logs.

  Some newspapers such as security and Internet Explorer may be completely empty or have just a few items.  The default settings for XP wants do not connect all this activity, unless you need to solve a problem in these areas.  If you enable logging for them the papers fill up quickly and could adversely affect the performance of your system with all the extras (often unnecessary) activity.

  If you have Microsoft Office installed, it has its own newspapers, and they can be empty or occasional boring activity very little or, if there is no problem with your desktop applications.  It's normal.

  Not every event is a problem, some are informational messages that things work very well, and some are warnings.

  However, no event should defy reasonable explanation.

  Each event is sorted by Date and time.  Errors will be red Xs, warnings will have yellow! s.
  Informational messages have white is.  Not every error or warning event means that there is a serious question.

  Some are excusable at boot time when Windows starts.  Try to find only the events to the date and time around your problem.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  If you paste an event, it will look something like this annoying system startup event:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Service Control Manager
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 7035
  Date: 14/07/2010
  Time: 17:54:18

  Computer: computer

  Description:
  The Remote Access Connection Manager service was sent successfully a starting control.

  To get a fresh start on any log of the event viewer, you can choose to clear the log (the log backup is available), and then reproduce your problem, then just look at the events around your show and troubleshoot events that are happening when you have your question.
