I can't put the system restore at any point, nor the desire, it set a new restore point, error box - another restore is in progress and me stops dead.

I am running windows Vista Home Basic; 32-bit.  Norton 360 anti virus; ALSO I can not uninstall all ADOBE programs, error says cannot locate
%AppData%, critical then an error screen after another.  I'm agree with getting rid of most of the old files and users to start all over again, windows was on the computer when I bought it. Help

I'm glad you're running properly again!

And have nothing to do with registry cleaners, you've discovered.

As you say, make regular data backups, and if something bad happens, you always have to fall back on recovery.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer and help others here.

See you soon.

  • Hall 20: I can't do a system restore to overcome the refusal of the system to accept the password.

    I did a restore to factory on the Pavilion 20. Pressing me F11 has troubleshooting screen and I chose the system restore. All right

    I set up the UserName Admin and the password carefully (but don't think to do a password recovery disk).  I installed a different AntiVirus Norton application, a default value.  So I uninstalled Norton.  It required a reboot to complete uninstallation.

    This is where my problems started.

    Upon restart, the computer will not accept the password!  There is no mistake here.  It was carefully designed and entered in the creation of duing twice.  I even considered perhaps that I soon take my finger on the SHIFT key (twice) then tried many variations of SHIFT or no change for the capitals and even the next character in the password.  I restarted 50 times trying to get just one time and then I would like to choose a new password for connection.

    For the next, I thought I could just do a restore of the system from zero and re - configure again.  But now there is no option for me to use the system recovery.  This option is missing!  I spent many hours on searches of google for similar problems.  It's just not there.  I tried to use F10 and F11 to enter the system recovery.  I get to the menu troubleshooting and it has 3 options: Refresh uoir PC, reset your PC options and advanced.
    Clicking on advanced options gives me the system restore (a restore point (doesn't) usung) System Image recovery, startup repair, command prompt and UEFI firmware settings.

    I'm positn gthis in the hope that I can do a system recovery to the command prompt.  Is this possible?  If this is not the case, how can I do a system restore when the OPtion is not avaiiable?

    My question is: a complete system recovery was done, why it is no longer possible to

    Hello Newton51

    It will display the number of full model of the computer.

    I don't know what happened on your system but when you do the reset of the system, don't go not advanced.

    You should be able to click on reset your PC. That will erase the C: partition and reinstall Windows.

    When its finished, and you get to the part where it asks you to create a password for the user, LEAVE BLANK.

    Restart to make sure you can connect without using a password.

    IF you succeed at this stage, create your HP Recovery Media via the HP Support Assistant.

    If you enter an impasse once again, recovery media will wipe the drive and reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

    NOTE: HP will allow you to record only one copy of the recovery media, so not to interrupt the process when you start.

    Now remove Norton and restart.

    Install this that never new you want security.

    When you're done, go to your user profile and carefully create your word password but do not close yet.

    Create the key to reset password on a USB key.

    Now restart and test your password.

    You have a USB reset if it doesn't.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    If you are not able, or do not succeed to reset the PC, you have two options. Use the MS media creation tool to create recovery media (from another computer).

    Then, reinstall Windows 8.1 and download your HP drivers and install them.

    Or

    Order directly the appropriate recovery of the HP Support media.

    Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

    Choose the country you are. Choose Help, then to the House.
    Enter the full product number and follow the prompts to contact Support.

    Chat with an agent will ensure that you get the appropriate recovery media.

  • Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?

    Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?  I don't wan to upgrade all the way to El Capitan.  Some of my software may not be compatible.

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

    You should have a complete backup of your system before performing an upgrade. Given that, we risk minimum trying to El Capitan before adopting it. Instead of spending $20 on the Mountain Lion, when El Capitan is much higher.

    There are not many apps running in Cougar and El Capitan.

  • What can I put the RAM and the hard drive of a Macbook Pro 13 "2014 in a Macbook Pro 13" 2016?

    The main logic of my Macbook Pro 13 "2014 card is broken, and it turns out that it will be much easier and just slightly more expensive, buying a new Macbook Pro that, in order to replace. I would like to set up my new Macbook Pro 13 "online in a way such that it is as cheap as possible, while always respecting the level of my former. So, if I could order one with the minimum of RAM and disk space hard and then put these pieces of my old in the new, this would be ideal. I don't know so much about it, and the question is: is it possible?

    my old Mackbook Pro 13 ":"

    -purchased new August 2014

    -3.0 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5

    -DDR3L 16 GB 1600 MHz SDRAM

    -Storage flash 512 GB PCIe

    -Intel Iris graphics card

    I'll get to buy e new generation Mackbook Pro 13 "with:"

    -2.9 GHz i5 or i7 3.1 (I've not yet decided)

    -RAM: Here I want to configure it with as little as possible, if I can just put the chips of the old in the new. Is this possible?

    -Hard drive: same thing: if possible, I want to get the cheapest option and simply put the old in the new. Possible?

    Thank you in advance to anyone who might take a few minutes to help out me! It would be much appreciated!

    Why did the subject: config browser.tabs.onTop. set to false no longer work. Is not acceptibale, unless I'm doing something wrong and it worked in the last version. Please answer

    You can also move the lower position with code tab toolbar in userChrome.css that basically, you just give a higher value to the tab bar of -moz-box-ordinal-group (more toolbars have a default value for - moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 to show them in the order of DOM).

  • Can u put the Apple Watch mode bedside table without getting the dock?

    I Haz one question I am about to get a Apple Watch for my birthday

    question, version 1

    can u put the Apple Watch mode bedside table with the original charger, or get the dock from Apple?

    Hello

    Yes - you can put Apple Watch mode table bedside without having to buy the Apple (or other) docking station.

    To place your watch mode bedside table:

    • Make sure the option is turned on: on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to My Watch (tab) > General > scroll mode bedside table.
    • Connect your watch to its charger (with power connected):
      • Place your watch on the side with the buttons facing up.
    • To see the time, tap the screen or slightly shift your watch:
      • By design, when the watch is in this mode, pushing even your bedside table may be sufficient.
    • If you also set an alarm with the alarm clock app on your watch, it will warn you at the specified time.

  • Can I put the Satellite P100-240 with internal fingerprint reader

    I have a Satellite P100-240.
    Although he did not come equipped with material to print finger scanning, it has clogged the hole in the box where he would go.
    So I wonder, can I get the hardware scanning separately and adapt it to the laptop?

    I don't see any option for the material to be sold separately on the Tosh site and I'm not even sure who makes the hardware for them so I can source it independently.

    Can we offer here advice or information on this operation?

    Hello

    You are right. Some P100 units support the fingerprint, and some units have been delivered without this feature.
    As I m not wrong not these fingerprints can be upgraded

    But to be 100% sure you should ask the local ASP (authorized service provider) for details.
    But in my opinion you can not put the laptop with fingerprint reader.
