• Improvement of the system: need page file, SSD install tips, etc. Win7 i7 generation

  Gents, it's been 4 years since I built my i7 LGA1155 based system and I have to type of upgrade (sh! t happens). It is not a full upgrade. I don't have enough green to buy a new vid card and am carrying on my storage drive.

  I bought a Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB SSD for my OS. The MB is an ASUS Z97 WiFi ac USB3.1 running a 4 GHz i7. The Z97 has Intel and ASMedia ports.

  
  

  My current configuration has a 120 GB for Win7, two Samsung Spinpoints SSD in RAID 0 as my D drive (my scratch disk, which has worked perfectly) and two WD black 1 TB in a RAID mirror as my E drive where I put all my videos, audio files (mirror raid because I'm insanely paranoid). I have also now a 2 TB backup Synology (external) so that the internal working paper mirror will not be necessary.
  

  
  

  So my setup will be:

  C drive: a single SSD with Windows 7

  D drive: two Samsungs in a RAID 0 (as I have now - although I will buy a large SSD on the road)

  E drive: WD Black (no more than mirror)

  Then readers of DVD and BD.

  I'm using CS5 Production Premium. That's what I have. I will not be able to level up to the end of this year or early next. Updates are no longer available normally, but apparently I can download a significant update to Adobe file and use it to manually update the CS5. I don't have this info right now (I think it is called "mul PremiereProTrial 5.0.3 Adobe UPDATE").

  
  

  It's been so long that I have installed Windows 7 (and I had my favorites on the subject so many links is now dead) I ask some advice on some details.

  My Windows 7 doesn't is selling at retail, but from 2011 so no SP1. I have already downloaded all the updates via WSUS Offline if I can do a proper update once installed Win7. This will be my first time through this method, but people swear by him.

  I know that my older Win7 installation CD will not see the new SSD, so I download the drivers for the SSD and also for my Intel and ASMedia SATA on the Z97 MB ports. I'm still not sure of exactly how this will go.

  A question I have is with the page file. I think that Windows automatically detect it on the operating system drive.

  I should he move to the D drive? I don't want to do anything that could cause me pain. My page file has always been on my C drive (if the memories are good).

  All the tips on this point and in my build system are greatly appreciated. I had so many links is dead now, so I'll try to find what I need. For example, what codecs I should download and install.

  By the way, I'm now change anything over 2 K. It is usually footage DSL, HDCAM stuff, as well as lot of Super8 who was captured 1080 p from QuickTime or ProRes files.

  for the pagefile, advice to move out of the ssd. It was at the time where the ssd did not last very long and it was an attempt to give them a longer life expectancy. now ssd last much longer is allowed to place the pagefile on ssd. When it comes to the filename of the page, you want it on a fast reader. the more memory you have at least windows will have to exchange information in RAM to the paging file. so if you have enough ram, the swap file usage will be less to reduce the wear and tear on any drive.

  codecs must be installed if used as a keeping clutter out of windows. most install quicktime for prores and dnxhd/r codec.

• I restored the system to today to recover photos from my camera, I downloaded and the system restore hase not put back them in my photo gallery - why?

  I restored my system to today to get some photos, but the file did not appear - how recover them - I didn't do a back-up

  Hello

  "I restored the system to today."

  What do you mean by that?

  You use the system restore to put the settings of the computer to an earlier Date, doesn't not to hand over to today.

  System restore only "puts away" remove photos.

  It has nothing to do with the data files.

  And if you mean the system recovery to factory (like new) settings, which erases the hard drive clean of everything.

  Regardless of how you spent, try this free program to recover:

  Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

  Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
  Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
  Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
  You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

  If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

  It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  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)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• How to change group policy for the system restore will create restore point

  I recently installed an SSD with windows 7, it's the default OS and hard drive on a system dual boot. I also have my old HHD with windows vista home premium. I had problems using the restore of the system with the SSD drive and read on a forum that the restoration of the system causes problems when it is used on an SSD. I have disable restoring the system to the SSD, but still he had checked to allow restoration on the vista disk and a 500 GB drive, I have use for storage.

  I managed to create a restore point when you are using windows 7 OS, but when I used my vista drive, and wanted to create additional restore points for two HHD disks, it does not allow the creation of restore points by group policy settings. I regularly create restore for the SSD disk and have created one for the HHD Vista since the system restore does not create additional restore points now.

  How can I change my group policy settings to enable restore points to create the disk under Vista. I don't remember changing anything that might have caused it, is there a chance that a horse of Trojan or virus caused this? I have Webroot antivirus and currently aired Kaspersky Anti-virus on Vista drive. I also ran the Microsoft safety scanner in safe mode and normal startup mode, none of the virus scanners have found problems, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a Trojan or a virus.

  To the point, how to make appropriate changes to allow the restoration of the system to work for my two HHD disks.  Better yet is there a way to restore completely all original windows default system settings without having to do a clean reinstall.

  You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned.

• Virus protection scans and restoring the system

  I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop that was purchased in 2005.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I had trouble with a browser hijacking, in the form of two executables: b.exe and msa.exe.  I deleted them, cleaned my registry with CCleaner upwards, and now I can use my browser again.

  HOWEVER...

  There seems to be something else that hover on my computer.  I can't run Spybot - S & D, WinPatrol, or the Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool.

  In the case of Spybot, I initially managed to run a scan, but it failed after less than a minute and now any attempt to reopen the program gives me the error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, file, or path. May not permissions to access you the item. »

  For WinPatrol, I never received the same error message; I can't open the program.

  For the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, I was able to extract after downloading and running the scan, but it lasted less than 30 seconds before crashing as Spybot.  Now I can't seem to reply to all - no error message or anything.

  I have Norton Internet Security 2009 on my computer.  It can start and analyze, but is not picking anything up.  He has not yet identify b.exe and malicious msa.exe, so there may be something wrong with her as well.

  And Yes, before ask you, I have tried to run the scans in Mode safe mode with networking, nothing helps.  It will just work.

  I also tried restoring the system twice, using two different restore points.  My computer tells me that nothing has changed in the system and therefore don't restore; This of course isn't the case since I obviously wasn't having this problem yesterday.

  Please, please, please help me!

  An infection on your computer, probably a rootkit , look at what you do.  When he sees an attempt to run a program of security such as Spybot, he kills the program and how to change the permissions on executable to prevent you to run the program again.  The rootkit is probably do other nasty things that you can't see, like sending spam or to join a botnet .

  You can run antivirus scanners and removal of rootkit programs available on the Internet and we hope that they can fix it, but the only solution is to reformat the drive and reinstall Windows.  That's what I had to do recently, on a computer owned by one of my clients in consultation, who did exactly what you describe.  Several analyses of virus and rootkit did not help.

  I wish I had a better solution for you.   :-(

• Is there a process or program that I can use to restore the system and configuration of the system to the original

  Hello

  I would like to know if there is a microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that could help me restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. is not the restoration of the system. I don't know of retoring my computer to an earlier time, nor on the restoration of computer purchase. 

  I thought that my computer has been compromised in some way, and the intruder was accessing my unit via some sort of connection distance.

  I received the support of the malicious software company, and I think that my computer is fine now.

  And so the question with which I opened this post: I would like to know if there is a Microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that would help me to restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. I'm not taling about system restore. I speak not of retoring my computer to an earlier time.

  Whenever I start to notice the strange behaviour of my computer, I would like to launch this program and follow this procedure to reset all the settings and files to a suitable State. The reason why run alone to detect malware problems, and that if there is remote access to my computer inadvertently, the intruder can do a lot of editing of files which is not identified by the malware. and I believe that if I was able to run a program like this, all the changes took place, which expose my device, but the rules of behavior systems can be reversed for a proper state.

  I read an article on how to repair my operating system, but it forced me to get a copy of it; However, given that the supplied operating system with preinstalled on this computer, I could not follow the instructions. Article I read to all system and configuration files that meet the standards of the manufacturer, without losing files and installed programs.

  As far as I know Satellite P300/P300D comes with Vista and not with Win7 for Win7 installation drive recovery HARD work not at all. You can install Vista, maybe, but certainly not Win7.

  Because of this, I assume that you have installed your own version of Win7. Can you confirm this?

  Is that HARD drive recovery facility (F8 > fix my computer) works with the installation of recovery only (out of the box).
