I entered incorrect information during the installation. How to fix it.

During the installation of windows xp pro, I was asked my name, then the name of the computer (don't remember if it was a part of the whole upward to the network or whateer domain).  Now there are files under my documents that are appointed;

Administrator (it is fine).

All users (it is fine).

All Users.Windows (where it comes from and how do I get rid of it).

Default user (it is fine).

My name (it is fine).

My name of Name.Computer (again, where it come from and how do I get rid of it)

I install XP on systems of the House several times that I can remember, but I never encountered this problem.  I tried to delete the folders and it is said that they are system files and cannot be deleted.  I guess I could reinstall windows and go through the hassle of revalidation and explain to MS that it is the same computer, but I would avoid it if I could.

Thank you

Nathan

The directories "Users.Windows" and "Name.Computername" are examples of directories that are created after a corrupted profile.  When a new user (for example, "MyName") is created, then you will find a "Myname" folder in "Documents and Settings".  If the profile "Myname" is damaged, Windows will create a new profile "MyName.Computername" and start to using them, leaving the old profile.  You can get the date in your profile corrupted by using one of the following methods:

"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

"How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151 >

If you have the data recovered from the corrupted profile and you want to delete the damaged profile, and then you must do the following:
Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> Advanced (Tab)-> "Settings" (in the user profile Section)
Then you should be able to select the profile that you want to get rid of and press 'delete '.
Note that if you have both 'MyName' and 'MyName.Computername' writings, the "myname" is without doubt the deceased profile and "MyName.Computername" is probably the active profile... Make sure that you remove the right pair.

  • Error 1935. error during the installation of Assembly--how to fix?

    Hello

    Recently, I lost my laptop (a Lenovo X201t Win Ultimate running any Bluetooth capabilities (64-bit).) The problem started when Windows Update offered me an option "Bluetooth with Enhanced Data rate software II v6.2.1.3100 (7ZBV19WW)" upgrade. This update of first removed the existing Bluetooth SW and then started to install the new version. Towards the end of the installation (i.e. when the progress bar has reached almost 100%) all of a sudden the next popup appeared:

    -----------------------------------------------
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.ATL, type = 'win32-policy', version = '8.0.50727.42", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture ="amd64"'.

    See Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0X800736FD. assembly interface: returned IAssemblyCacheItem, function: commit, component: {51B6FD4C-6551-1104-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    -----------------------------------------------

    I googled around fragments of the above error message, but appearently it signals a significant problem. Some discussions I've found comes to the conclusion, that some registry entries do not have the correct permissions, in most of the other discussion gave, had something that was wrong with the subsystem that some libraries .NET and .NET (most listed some "MS Visual C++ 200 x Redistributable" as guilty) were opposed or had been corupted or put in an inconsistent state.

    I tried various tips in these discussions, but nothing has worked so far, so I ask here:

    • What really does this error mean?
    • Can we deduct sort of info in the above message, what to do or where to look for?
    • How can I locate or identify the library or component (or other) that is the cause, so that I can try it in- or reinstall first we hope to solve this problem?

    I really need my bluetooth capability! I use it regularly to synchronize with my cell phone and listen to music and I can't wait these two functions no longer work!

    Michael

    PS. : in case this requires some "open heart surgery" on the system: I'm comfortable with all kinds of windows of Mgmt. Tools, edit the registry, etc etc - so no problem! I also took a recent disk image (alas, taken only after the error appeared), so still some changes difficult to solve this problem would be fine with me...

    Hello

    If you receive a 1935 error when you try to install the software, the Windows file system transaction log is corrupted. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. It can also occur if an error occurs with the installation of .net Framework.

    Step 1: To correct this install error, you must clear the log.

    a. open an administrator command prompt: right click on start > all programs > Accessories > command prompt and select "run as administrator" and click "allow" for the elevation prompt

    b. in the command prompt, type the following command:

    true fsutil resource setautoreset C:\

    c. which assumes that C: is the drive where Windows 7 is installed. If it is installed on another drive as D: Please change the appropriate drive letter.

    d. restart the system.

    e. install the software and check.

    Step 2: Start the Trustedinstaller Service. It is possible that the Trustedinstaller service do not appear in the service list. If you must change the registry value to 'active' in the system registry.

    To do this, you must:

    a. type "regedit" without the quotation marks in the start search box.

    b. in the Registry Editor window, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > control.

    c. in the "Registry Editor" dialog box, double-click on 'RegistrySizeLimit'. This opens the "Edit DWORD value"dialog box.

    d. in dialog box "Edit DWORD value", enter ffffffff as the 'hexadecimal " value." Click on the "Decimal" radio button and enter 4294967295 value 'Decimal' . Click OK.

    e. restart the computer.

    f. log as long as administrator, open an command prompt and type SFC/scannow.

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

  • How can I transfer OR-MAX configuration files during the installation of the application?

    I install my application on a PC that has no software EITHER.  The installation installs LV Run-Time and NO-DAQmx, OR MAX, but MAX configuration is the default value.  I use a USB DAQ.  I know that I can export the correct MAX configuration file but I don't know where to put it on the PC so that he sees MAX.

    Thank you.

    If you choose to include the harware config when you create the installation program, then you do not have to worry where it is placed and during the installation process, MAX on the new pc will attempt to import it

    If you want to manually copy the configuration on the new pc, put it anywhere you want. You must use the file > import the max function in order to use the new configuration.

    1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
