I bought a laptop with windows 7 Home Edition and uograded professional, I want to buy a backup CD

I bought a laptop with windows 7 family, and updated Edition upgraded to windows 7 Professional, how can I buy the Windows 7 Professional Backup CD?

You can't (unless you want to buy it separately at full price).

Windows 7 uses the "anytime upgrade" feature  Because Windows uses image based install now, technically you were always professional, you just had not unlocked it again by typing in the code.  If you were ever to re - install your computer, you'd be at the publishing house and just simply type the code again (Don lose it!)

If you wish, you can create your own system image backup.  It's more than a Windows installation disc.  It is an exact replica of your entire hard drive, including all your programs and settings that you have configured. It's like a photo snapshot in time.  This gives you a CD, you can use to immediately restore your computer to the point in time where the image was taken - even all your installation and installs.

If you want to create it, here's how:

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Choose system and security
  3. Choose the backup and restore
  4. Choose to create a system image on the left

  • Convert a laptop with windows xp home edition in Turkish in English?

    I bought a samsung np-nc10 netbook in Turkey while he's on vacation in September 09 to access my desktop and need to change the operating system in English, now that I'm back in the States.  It came with windows xp edition em ulcpc in Turkish family.  Samsung U.S. refuses to sell me a disc of recovery in English and send back me to Samsung Türkiye.  Samsung Türkiye is unresponsive. So far, I was able to change the keyboard in English, however, it does not provide the ability to change the operating system in English so the menu and dialog boxes are all in Turkish, which makes it difficult to use the computer on a regular basis.  How can I convert the English operating system?

    You cannot convert your XP Home Turkish language for an English XP Home. Given that Samsung will not sell you an English restore disc, you will need to buy a full copy of XP Home in English. Back up your data because you will need to do a clean installation of Windows by using the product key that belongs to the English XP retail. Once installation is complete, you will need to install all the drivers and software for your laptop. You will get these drivers/software from Samsung tech support Web site for your computer model. Download them and on a USB or burned on a CD - R.

    You not only peut lose, you go. You can not do a upgrade of
    XP to Windows 7. Although you can use a Windows 7 upgrade copy,
    Since XP, you need to do a clean install with it.

    And how I can save it without copying the data to another location. Thank you

    Copy your data to another location - to external media.

    After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct.  I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).  When you try to do the backup on a 4 GB USB key I get an error including 0 x 81000029.  I have seen posted answers to this.  Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer.

    Hello

    The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

    1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
    2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
    3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
    4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.

    You may receive error messages when you try to perform a backup operation on a Windows Vista-based computer

  • the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable and I don't know who to make it work again

    the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable, and I don't know who to make it work again.

    Hello

    Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
    and Forums. The key shortcut for the TouchPad, if they are responsible in the Fn + F9 or see the key card
    So usually loaded at the top of the screen.

    There is also usually a TouchPad control utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock
    at the bottom right.

    Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.

    Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
    http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
    are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

    You can also try this:

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
    of work.

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
    device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
    and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

  • Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

    I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

    While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

    I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

    Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

    I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

    I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

    I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

    This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

    I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

    I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

    I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

    I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

    And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

    Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

    Thank you

    Vernon

    When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

    If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

    go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

    Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

    Courtesy of JoseIbarra

    You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

    Here's how:

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    RC. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    ===============

    as for the other problems:

    did you use Registry cleaners?

    These can damage your system

    You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

    ===============

    Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

    ==========

Help.

    You need an external DVD drive to get the repair will.

    Also the device you own does not seem to have built in the recovery partition. I'm not sure about later versions of this machine, however, it is best to check with HP.

    The problem is that there is a corruption of the registry on your OS or the system could not find where the registry files are due to system files or boot corrupted file.

    A repair can be made with an external DVD, the worst case, is that if the repair doesn't work you reinstall Windows.

    Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll

    I have a Dell computer that came with Windows XP Home edition.  When I start my computer the monitoring of ERROR appears: RUNDLL error loading specified not found \3\DLBUtime.dll module

    I just click 'ok' and he goes, but, as for what it stop popping up everytime I start my computer.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Aprilm,

    You are LuLu5119, who posted a question last August?

    If this isn't the case, you should have started your own thread.  If so (and even if not), you should have responded to questions about Dell printers.

    Assuming that you complain of a "Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll" message that appears when you start your computer, you should know that the DLBUtime.dll file probably has something to do with the software from Dell which has been partially deleted, but could also be indicative of malware as well as partially withdrawn.

    In both cases, the best way for start you to prevent the message at windows is to download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Install the Autoruns and let it complete the scan of your computer.  Then click on the "Connection" tab and uncheck the following entry:

    Look for an entry that has 'DLBUCATS' in the first column.  If you do not see that, look for "rundll32 \3\dlbutime.dll" in the last column ("path of the Image).

    Uncheck that entry, close Autoruns and restart your computer.  You should get is no longer the message.

    If for any reason, you find later that you need dlbutime.dll running, run Autoruns and check the box. If you decide that you need never again, run Autoruns, right-click on the entry and select Delete.

    As General precautionary measure, in case your entry dlbutime.dll was related to malicious software, rather than the Dell printing software, download the following free scanners:

    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware Portable: http://superantispyware.com/portablescanner.html

    For MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, download, install, update and run.
    For Portable SAS, follow the instructions on the Web page (note that the instructions assume that you use a different computer to download; if you're not, just make a note of the name of the file).
