• Help the clean installation of Windows 7 Pro and using the GPO to run automatic updates and restart all night

  I am trying to solve a problem that will probably require a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The grace period ends in 3 days, and the next 30 days are final exams at the College. I have 2 licenses (and product key) of Windows 7 Pro, but my drive HARD goes wrong and I don't want to use MAK activation. I will be eventually to replace the disk, but is now bad timing.

  If a reinstall is needed, I was going to ask if anyone knows how to set the strategy of perhaps a GPO where Windows is updated automatically in the background and after installing updates, 45 or 60 minutes, then restart. The goal would be to have a computer fully patched when I wake up in the morning.

  This is my plan:

  Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit > Windows automatically updated and plug the Ethernet cable > define a GPO where the computer waiting for 45 to 60 minutes after installation of updates (so the msi may end in the background, and I do not interrupt the installation) > the PC will restart > more update swill be downloaded and installed > wait due to the policy of GPO before reboot > Reboot > do it until it's over. > wake up with a PC fully patched 7-9 hours later.

  Is this a workable plan?, and if so, how do I define policies such as delay restarting, etc. to achieve?

  The reset did not work. It would be a simple solution. I have a valid license, but I don't want to replace the HARD drive until after final exams are over, so I'll reinstall and activate. I try to achieve in the next 24 hours, so it doesn't keep me from my school work.  I must also support and will then replace my files.

  Feel free to advanced used terminology. I have some experience.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Another question: should I install a security suite before all updates being installed more than 12 hours, or wait until later? What is the level of risk?

  Anyone used Ninite to automate the installation of other programs? Is how safe it?

  Thank you!

  Hey Sparky9404

  You can try a system restore and a layout of a disc repair service

  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.

  If that does not read this information

• MS Word does not work after automatic update and restart last night

  I woke up this morning to my system locked up.  It took 3 restarts to get it up and running again when I saw the stage 3 of 3 update itself during the restart.  Everything seems fine except the word.  Launch of word gives me a "Word automatically saved chages in the Normal document template. You want to load it? "Everything that I say, it seems to run very well, but I have no control of the mouse in the document; I have to move using the arrow keys.  The mouse works in the toolbar.  When I try exciting Word, I get the Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and restarts - that load the normal.dot file dialog box and then everything starts all over again.

  I use windows XP Home Edition. It takes awhile to start when I turn on the computer. How can I speed up this process?

  original title: slow start
  • Faster processor.
  • Fastest hard drive.
  • Faster or more RAM/memory.
  • Less things loading at startup.
  • Appropriate and the most recent hardware device drivers.

  In XP, you can cleanup and optimize it in some way, by using the following tips:

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  and...

  Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:

  Is it possible that they could have installed some sort of malicious software on my Macbook Pro X or am I protected?

  If you don't give them access to your computer or download something on their request, you should be fine. If you allow them access or downloaded something, you must erase and reformat your hard drive, then restore your computer from a backup taken before when you allowed them access. Change your passwords and other critical information also. Not sure what software have been installed. If necessary, contact your bank to make opposition and cancel your credit card.

  Hello raulganau, welcome.

  I suggest to try the system restore to restore the system to a date before the problem started. Try this...
  1. click on START
  2. click on "all programs".
  3. click on "Accessories".
  4. click on "system tools."
  5. click on "system restore."
  6 follow the instructions on the screen to restore the system to a date before the problem started
  Although the system restore does not target the personal data, I recommend always backup your personal data, just in case something happens.
  For reference, I have included a link that provides more specific information about the restoration of the system and how to use it:
