• CMD never opens and copy files, and then close by itself under normal circumstances?

  I played guild wars 2 and all the guest suddenly opens and then closes. a few minutes later, it opens again and copy the 2 files then closes. is this normal or part of any benevolent known subprogramme?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community.

  Of the description as I understand that the command prompt opens and closes, he opens the second time and copy the 2 files. Hope this is an accurate understanding of the issue.

  It would be useful to you to let us know a few things.

  a. What are the names of copied files?

  b. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  c. What is an online game or a downloaded version?

  I suggest that you run the Microsoft safety scanner and check if there is no infection by the virus.

  Microsoft safety scanner.

  You can also run the malicious software removal tool. Check out the link:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-Security/Malware-removal.aspx

  Note: as precautionary measure, backup important data located on your computer before you run the scans.

  Also, check with the developer of the game on this issue.

• Xp pro installation gets past the copied installation files and then restarts, rather than continue with install it starts from the beginning again.

  new installation of XP pro on a Dell Inspiron mini

  Xp pro installation went copied files Setup then restarts, rather than continue with an install it starts from the beginning again, laptop is configured to boot from the hd, but does not do that, I reset bios to default and hd settings has been reformatted, the cd for this laptop drive is usb because it has not built in 1... If I try and I remove the usb cd when reboots after copid setup files it told her there is no operating system...

  any help much appreciated...

  Hi, Leon,

  Always include computer make and model, please.  Thank you.

  Research in the Bios (reboot and press F1 or F2 depending on your system, check that all usb options are enabled (for example, USB legacy or support for USB 2.0 devices).)

  If there is a timeout parameter, set it to Max.

  Then, find the boot device priority section

  A USB flash drive, which is usually listed as USB - HDD, but may be listed as a removable device, will have a priority very low start.

  Rearrange the boot device priority so that the flash drive has a higher priority than the hard drive.

  Install Windows XP from USB key

  • Insert the USB key into the USB port on the computer.

  • Open the "I386" folder and find the file "Winnt.exe".

  Double-click on the "Winnt.exe" to launch a command prompt BACK to an installation of Windows XP.

  Type the path of the location of your "I386" folder in the DOS window. For example, if your USB is the letter "D" in your "My Computer" window, type "d:\i386" without the quotes and press the Enter"" key.

  Let the installation program copy the Windows XP installation files on your computer.

  Restart your computer to a command prompt. The Windows XP Setup will continue automatically.

  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The program will ask you your Windows XP product key in this process.

• ENVY of HP dv7: copy the file fails error on disk 2 to 58% HP recovery

  My hard drive in my dv7 ENVY dies for the second time in two years (it was under warranty last time and I was able to fix). I bought the hard drive same exact (Samsung, 1 TB), tested in BIOS, past everything. When I try to make the image recovery with the HP recovery discs I received the last time my hard drive died, I get an error then that 58% on two recovery disc that says:

  I press OK and it does the same thing over and over again. People who questioned him on this same type of error seem to get anywhere here, but what choice do I have? The hard drive is the same size, same manufacturer, same model, it should have the question of reimage the system on a hard drive more small, right?

  Am I just out of luck on that? So frustrated.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post on recovery issues and wanted to help.
  
  Here is the link to the tool of creation of win8.1 media: installation media to create for Windows - 8.1 help Windows

  Understand, however, you might encounter a problem installing using the media created from this tool.

  You have a version of OEM HP of Win8 installed on your PC, and this means that the product key that is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware is OEM, not retail.

  While the media created from this tool SHOULD be activated using this key, there is no guarantee he will do.  If it is not the case, you can use this tool to recover your product key and try to enter it manually: Download Windows OEM Product Key Tool - MajorGeeks

  IF it still does not work, then your only recourse would be to order a new set of recovery from HP discs.

  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

  Any help? It also doesn't help when the HP support is open on the phones until 5:30 from Monday to Friday. I'm at work so can't call. So frustrating...
  
  Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh

  Hi Belj,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP Pavilion g6-1305sa Notebook and not able to restore Windows. If the HARD drive is faulty, this can cause the restoration should not go well. You can try to run a test of material. Please note remove any and all USB devices and remove the memory card in the slot of the card reader. Disconnect all non-essential devices. What is the original HARD drive? Have you replaced all other parts? Have you tried to do a clean install of Windows 7. Try running sfc/scannow would scan your system to find errors on the command line. You can get to the command prompt by clicking F11 at startup. You can see this Microsoft document on the system recovery options.

  Hope this will help.

  Thank you.

• Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

  When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

  «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

  There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

  You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

  But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

  If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

  Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

  You can either make the step remove first:

  delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

  Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

  Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

  1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

  2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

  3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

  I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

  If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

  If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

• Satellite 100-049-engraver of DVD writes only a few files and then fails

  My burner is Mat * a DVD RAM UJ850S ATA device and I am running Windows Vista. The problem is this: I start burning Burn option of Windows media player. I select the files to be burned, the fire starts. It breaks down after 3 or 2 files and then error occurs and the burning stops.

  No error message appears. It is not possible to remove the burner CD without stopping the system. You can open the burner again during the restart. My burner is almost unused, it reads CDs and DVDs without problem I noticed.

  Anyone who has experienced the same type of behavior - advice?

  Hello

  I didn t has experienced these problems, but a quick question: have you you tried to burn files not only with this media player to windows, and then also with a full program of burning (like nero, cdburnerXP, CloneCd, etc.) to see if the same error occurs with a program designed just for burning files?

  It could be that the Windows Media player not fully supports the burner, so it would be interesting to try.

  Appreciate some comments on your success with this issue, just to keep me in the loop. :)

• Why downloads sometimes fail, and then the same file fails

  I just took to the part where I have to choose update of an article.

  So, I choose the Update command.

  But about 3 to 5 times, the download of the file fails.

  But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the content of the file like 20 minutes later, the download works fine.

  So my question is why downloads sometimes fail and sometimes sail right through.

  And why, when they try to download, my network connection is a turtle.

  Welcome to the world of DPS. It can be frustrating to both.

  Tips for solving common problems when Windows 7 won't install troubleshooting

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known issues that might affect the installation and correct them.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  2 disable any security software, including anti-virus programs and firewalls.
  3 make sure that your computer has the BIOS and latest drivers.
  4. disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse before installing.
  5. If your computer/motherboard integrated video use and remove the dedicated video card.
  6. If you have a large amount of RAM (memory), try to reduce the amount of RAM installed. 1 GB if 32-bit installation, 2 GB for 64-bit, then replace RAM if the upgrade was successful.
  7. If you have downloaded Windows 7 and it burned a DVD test burn again at the slowest speed possible. It is also possible the download may have errors, you can try to download it again.

  8. check your RAM (memory) to find errors. This can take some time.
  (A) Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.
  (B) start from the Windows 7 DVD.
  (C) select your language, and then click Next.
  (D) click on "repair your computer" then select the operating system to fix it.
  (E) click on the link of the Memory Diagnostics in the system recovery menu.
  (F) the computer will restart and your memory is checked for errors.

  9 turn off startup programs:
  (A). Click Start, type MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.
  OK the authorization of user account control and password if necessary
  If you are using XP: click Start, run, and type: MSCONFIG and click OK.
  (B) on the general tab, click Selective startup.

• Remote Desktop copy files to local resources is a failure.

  I'm trying to copy files from a remote machine on my local PC under XP Pro. This process has worked well for years, but has recently started to fail.
  The copy starts but RDP reports that the file already exists, even if it's new. He then asks me if I want to replace the file. If I try to replace reports RDP that the file cannot be overwritten, if I try to delete the file locally, windows reports the file is in use. RDP closing frees the file.

  The only option I have is to copy to the new file which then seems to be incomplete. It seems that the bytes are missing from the header of the file.

• Cannot copy file names that include the slashes, commas, etc.

  Hello.

  I am trying to copy files from my old Mac G5 tower (about 10 years).  But my copy fails with an error message when trying to copy a file name that includes a special character.  Is there a way to get around this?

  To clarify: when it runs in a file with special characters, it gives me the error message that the file name is too long or contains special characters.  The problem is that when I click 'OK' to confirm the error (not), the copy is aborted.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Oh!  Well I guess you will have to wait for someone with a Mac experience for you then help.  I do not have one.  I'm sorry.

  BTW, you should post your question on Apple/Mac forum.  Many experienced people who can help you.   Good luck.  :-)

  Can someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  If you mean that you see something like this:

  

  If this is the case, read this:

  Maybe you have a distressed Explorer Shell Extension.

  Several recent systems of the incidents involving Acer and MyWinLocker of EgisTec (which is already known to include some suspicious Explorer shell extensions) that could come preinstalled on your system.

  Even if your system is not at Acer there installed MyWinLocker and since there were many reports indicate that it contributes to crashes explore it seems a good place to start looking.

  If you look in your installed programs and find MyWinLocker or whatever it is of EgisTec and you don't know what that is, or why it is there consider just uninstall, restart, and then see how things work.

  If you have determined that MyWinLocker or any other program EgisTec intervene follow GP below, so you will be able to see all Explorer shell extensions.

  If you see all the extensions of EgisTec, software security PSD, eDataSecurity, DragDropProtect (they will be some of pink extensions) start with these first.

  If none of these things exist, continue:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  A user reported that it was necessary to restart the browser after each adjustment to do that press Ctrl-E since in ShellExView.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

  box:

  Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
  Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.

  Hey Norton victim,
  
  (a) what is your operating system?
  (b) what program file you are not able to copy?
  
  As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.
   
  This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).
   
  I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.
   
  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
   
  Chkdsk /r
   
  Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.
