    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and I get this pop windows window advising me "TCP/IP Ping command has stopped working".

How can I remedy outside junking my Tower and buy another?  Thanks for any help on this.

    Hello

    1 did you change on your computer before this problem?

    2. when exactly you receive error message?

    You can follow the methods and see if it helps.

    Method 1
    Use the PING command to verify that TCP/IP is working properly. To do this, ping the loopback address (127.0.0.1) by typing the following command at a command prompt:
    (a) click Start .
    (b) in the search box type command prompt.
    (c) right-click and select run as administrator of .
    (d) type ping 127.0.0.1 and ENTRY.
    If you receive the response of 127.0.0.1, it means that TCP/IP is configured correctly.

    Method 2
    Check to see if the problem exists in safe mode with network.

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

  • I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I lost my product key!

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I lost my case with the product key to this topic! I really need help! Can someone help me?

    If the operating system is running - use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key. www.Belarc.com

    If the OS is always installed, but inaccessible, you can still be able to recover, depending on what is causing the problem - come back with details.

    If you have reformatted, about maybe possible get the key - but unlikely.

    If the HD is dead, or you have crushed the old installation, then you are out of luck.

  • I have Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional on my computer. I would like to delete the XP Home.

    I have Windows XP Home and XP Professional on my computer at home. It creates a nuisance for me and almost every time I restart the computer I need to boot from the CD of XP Professional. I would like to reformat the drive and install only XP Professional only. How do I do that?

    I have already backed up some files I have so I have nothing to lose except the two BONES being problematic nuisance

    You will need the installation CD. Insert the CD in the drive. Turn on the computer and look at the bottom or top for orders of F. If you have an order for the Boot Manager (usually F12) then keep hitting at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select the option of CD drive to boot from the CD.

    Note: If you do not have a Boot Manager option then you will need to go into your BIOS, sometimes called Setup (key F2 usually). You can get the boot option and change the boot priority. You do not want to move the CD player to the first on this list. Save and restart.

    Follow the instructions and when you get to the screen that talks about partitioning, remove the partitions selected with the D key (it will erase all data on a disk (s)). Format using NTFS on the screen following and all simply continue with the installation after that.

  • I don't have windows recovery, how do I get it?

    Original title: my komputer.

    I don't have windows recovery, how do I get it? my computer is ACER Aspire 6920, thank you,

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you won't be hace a recovery Partition

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Hello. I have windows 7 home... I had accidentally put in the trash... and deleting photos

    Hello.

    I have windows 7 home... I had accidentally put in the trash... photos and then cleaned out the trash... lost all the pictures... did a system restore and got back records, but not photos... ANY IDEAS on HOW I CAN get BACK MY PHOTOS > please... !!!

    It was a possibly a big mistake to do the system restore. There jepoardised your chances of recovering anything because it may well have used disk space previously allocated to your photos.

    Some people on this forum have reported success with Recuva

    Do not recover files to the same drive that you are trying to recover files from. This is likely to have the same consequences as restoring your system. In fact, it is preferable to stop using the hard drive which has (hopefully) the files lost and place it in another PC before run Recuva on the other PC. Install Recuva on your hard drive can also cause files become unrecoverable.

    Good luck, I think that you will need. If something like Recuva recover everything you want, the only recourse is a (very expensive) data recovery lab.
