I turn on my laptop and it tells me to press control, alt, delete to secure my computer
original title: logging on to Windows
So for some reason that I turn on my laptop and it says to push control, alt, delete to protect my computer. He has never done this before. So I do and then he asks a user name and password. I never created either on my laptop. It won't let me on anything whatsoever and I was wondering if there is a way that you can change to actually get on everything? I bought this computer used and thought that I could substitute it some how and then get on and everything change. Help!

Two points:
1. to answer your question, go to start | Run and type 'control '.
userpasswords2"select the account that you want to connect automatically.
Then uncheck "users must enter a user name and password
This computer '.
Or do the same thing with TweakUI.
2. If I have acquired a used computer, regardless of who was previously owner
the first thing I would do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.
If you reinstall Windows properly, you are playing with fire.

I recently turned on my laptop and my profile/account has not been recognized.
I recently turned on my laptop and my profile/account was not recognized during the startup of the computer toward the top, so a temporary account/profile is used instead. I did some work saved information on the computer using this temp-account profile. My regular account/profile has been recognized at every time since, but I was not able to find the location of the temp profile/account or the information stored when using this profile/account temporarily. The profile was not a guest account or an administrator account. That's only 2 accounts visible to me. There is only 1 account on the laptop so I actually disabled guest accounts.
the laptop is running windows vista
Hi Eric J Kim
After you log on to a Windows Vista system with a temporary profile, any changes you make on the current desk are lost once you disconnect the system

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

Hello
No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
are a few others.You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.
Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer--------------------------------------------------------------
You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.
Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the

Whenever I have turn off my laptop and turn it back on, all my data disappears.
I'm using a thinkpad notebook issued by school (lenovo R400) that uses Windows Vista. I know almost nothing about computers, but a couple of my friends know a little, and none of them were able to help me. Every time (it happened three times) I turned off my laptop in the last three months or so, I turn it back on and everything disappeared. I downloaded programs, backgrounds, music, documents, photos, videos - all of this. Now, I checked the recycling bin, so I know that it has not been deleted. Also, if I check what has changed recently, I can recover some of them. I usually just let my laptop to sleep, so I turn rarely completely off. The first time it happened, there were just two Documents folders, two folders of music, etc. The next time it happened, they disappeared, but they have either finally came on their own after a few days, or me just messing them back. As I am currently in College, it is very important that I can access everything I could have written this year. It is a big problem for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
You are constantly thrown into a temporary user account. This can be caused by hardware or malware infection problems. The most sensible thing to do is to take the machine to your school IT Department. and let them take a look. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

* Original title: Steve M.
I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop. When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon. When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.
I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle. Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Although it is strange that the location of your documents is
C:\Users\Steve\Doc
Instead of
C:\Users\Steve\Documents
This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents. The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:
If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:
As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it. You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

I am running Windows 7 on a computer Tablet laptop of Dell Latitude (it has a touch screen that is not removable, but it turns). My problem is that I can not shut down this computer and carry it from one place to the other without losing all my battery power: you can hear 'ping' when the lid is lowered. If I have to carry that I have to turn off completely, otherwise it will just keep producing this ping and use my battery. Everyone knows this?
This ping me makes me believe that a key is pressed, perhaps due to a letter from the keyboard that is stuck or is bad, or possibly a defect of the product.
