Hi waynekd,

(2) what is you receive the exact error message?

    You can not do this. Programs include not only their program
    files. There are also many references in \Windows, in the register and
    elsewhere and these re all lost if you reinstall Windows.

    Restore your computer to factory settings is very rarely necessary.
    and is usually a big mistake. It often leads to its own problems.
    Why you 'need' to do? Tell us what are your problems and it's
    no doubt someone here can help you to fix it.

    Also if you restore your computer to factory settings, you should not
    have to buy Word, Publisher, Power Point, etc. all over again.
    Did you buy these? They come with the computer?

    I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

  • I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

    I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

    original title: Moving the death machine drive

    Hello CarrolScott,

    The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

    The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

  • Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

    I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

    External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

    When the computer display, it displays the external hard drive.

    When I left click top produces a pop up with the title bar: location is not available

    Content: H: | is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

    Name of the object: H: |

    To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.

    Do you want to continue?

    Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

    Owner

    You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

    To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

    Name of the object: H: |

    Current owner: unable to display current owner.

    Change in ownership to:

    the two choices are my name or administrators

    I then chose an and apply and ok and it did not work.

    I then chose the other and apply and ok and it did not work.

    Then I clicked on other users or groups and entered everyone and that no longer works.

    I am the only user of this computer brand new.

    When I click on accounts Panel then user control and security for the family and then user accounts, it displays my name as administrator password.

    What are the steps that I can buy an external hard drive or buy a flash drive or use the ones I already have and use them with this computer which has windows 7 Professional?

    How is the switch of the property did not work?

    I went back to safety again and this time stayed at the bottom for special permissions or advanced settings.

    And yet when I kept getting location is not available

    H:\ is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    How do change you windows 7 Professional so that you can have access to your own files on an external hard drive or an external flash drive.

    Please list the steps.

    Thank you

    This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

    Steps:

    (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

    (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

    When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

    Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

    This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

    The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

    Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

  • I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter t

    Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

  • Windows 10 on pc itunes is on pc but my CD is on an external hard drive and I want to keep them there, but how can I get itunes to use does them everyone please have a fool proof statement

    I need to download iTunes to use my CD which is on an external hard drive and would like to keep on it. Please can someone tell me just how to do this

    My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

    I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

    If you need me to explain it further, do not hesitate to ask.
