  I recently changed to windows 7 from vista. I was wondering if there is a way to recover old photos of the vista operating system... If so can someone help me

  If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.

  I hope this helps.

• I forgot my administrator password and I have no disc reset!

  Hi Marcus,

  Please contact the Microsoft Community.

  I apologize for the delay in responding to your request. You have a problem with the admin password is not eligible not on computer. It must be difficult that you can not connect to the computer. I appreciate all the efforts you have put in institutions. I'm here to help you solve the problem and guide you in the right direction.

  It's in the Microsoft Policy to provide a work around for this problem. Here is what you try-

  (a) click on the indication of password and try to remember the password.

  (b) suddenly look at the paperwork or records. There is a possibility that you might have written it down somewhere.

  (c) ensure that the CAPS on the keypad lock is disabled in case your password has not all characters that require the CAPS LOCK feature.

  If the suggestions do not help, then I would have you look at this article.

  Excerpt:

  Important note...

  This works in cases where you changed your password to something new and then has forgotten or deleted a user account by accident. So that this works, there must be a restore point from the system during which logging has managed for the account of the problem. In addition, this isn't a problem if you are in a domain environment because the domain administrator can always reset your password.

• HP laptop, 2000 - 2a20CA: most of the programs (not answer) and forgot the administrator password

  HP laptop, 2000 - 2a20CA - Windows7 64 bit - Home Premium - Malwarebytes - ZoneAlarm

  For some reason, it crashes, several programs (not responding) Windows Explorer, Chrome, Thunderbird and others.

  Most of the time will not be Shut Down, suspended forever and having the press/off voltage.

  Did a Malware scan - nothing even with ZAlarm scan.

  Do CHK/DSK-

  Tried a repair with the repair disc

  Safe mode is alittle better, but it is slow and sometimes crashes.

  Finally, I forgot my administrator password.

  Tried to enter the CMD via the ERD and executed to delete my current password: -.

  copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

  copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

  (Yes)  But I got access denied - invites

  Would be a restoration of the system to an earlier cure my problems.

  Evidence of the problem of hanging and password question please.

  Hey @happypouch ,

  These options will wipe your HARD drive and data. I create a back up of your documents by using the Windows backup and restore options. Unfortunately, most people think to back up their files, after that it's too late, it is better to ask for now rather than later.

  Thank you.

  To reinstall the operating system:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.
