Installation of Windows Mail after system recovery
Hello. I need help to set up Windows Mail after a system recovery. I have Vista Home premium. My ISP is Comcast, so I have a Comcast email address. I did a full backup on an external HD before the resumption. I have not used Windows Mail since Jan. 27. Since then, I've been access my mail on the site Web of Comcast.
I need to know the correct sequence of steps to set up Windows mail. Is it to drag the contents of the folder from my outside to my computer? Do I need to configure the info from the first acct (pop etc.) before you transfer the contents of the folder? I want all my old mail book and the address in the new configuration. These seem to be backed up on my external.
Also once I'm set up should I expect to see all letters sent since Jan. 27? I don't mind what happens. I just want to know what to expect.
Thanks in advance for your help
First, set up your account in Windows Mail. If you want messages that you see in Windows Mail to remain available in Comcast web messaging, configure the account to leave messages on the server. When you click send/receive , it will download all of the messages that are stored on your Comcast email server.
To import your old messages in Windows Mail, press ALT + F , click on import > Messages > Microsoft Windows Mail 7 > Next , find the mail backup folder and follow the instructions. The old post will go into a folder called folder imported , and you can move it to other records there if you wish.
By default, Windows Mail saves its messages in C:\Users\
To import your contacts, copy them to the contacts saved to the new folder. By default, Windows Vista stores contacts in C:\Users\

Extremely slow/unnecessary Windows Update after system recovery.
Hello
While trying to help a friend with her laptop, I encountered a small problem, which seems quite unique. After searching the ' net and the Knowledge Base, I'm about as clued in as when I started, that is to say not very.
Machine: Satellite 1800 412 (Danish).
DID: Restore the system to zero back to XP SP1a (NSP).
Problem: After a complete system via the original recovery CD restore, Windows Update is running * extremely * slowly, or not at all, once it gets to the point where it scans for updates you need. So far, I've managed to get 1 downloaded an update, a little. As an update is attempted usage of the processor reaches a maximum at 100% and stay there until I abandon and hard restarts, since the machine is now almost useless and lazy point appear frozen.
Tried to: applied manually different updates downloaded directly from Microsoft, such as Internet Explorer 6 sp1, XP SP2 (DK), various updates and patches for XP downloaded and checked/tried to reinstall the drivers of Toshiba (they are updated). Verify that the systems boots properly with all recognized devices. Check the system clock. Searched the Toshiba KB, searched the Internet, searched the Toshiba support forum. Pulls hair in desperation. I have to have restored the system 4times intant to try different ways of patching the system with updates.
Special features: It is apparently * only * updated Windows, what causes this problem, and that after the first few, where he updates the Windows Update engine in Internet Explorer. Before that I'm trying to update the machine apparently functioning normally. I can surf, download, install and run programs and what not. (No, I did not visit suspicious websites.) If Windows Update runs automatically in the background / 'in the status bar', the same thing is happening: Machine suddenly becomes useless and stays that way.
The machine is on a local network behind one bulletproof OpenBSD firewall, no other Windows machines inside, so there is no chance of a quick infection of the network at the origin of the problem.
Unfortunately: Manually download and apply the patches aren't an option I want to activate the automatic updates before you return the machine back to its owner.
Hope some of you might have an answer to this one, because I have never known or heard of something similar before.
Frank.
Hello

Activation of Windows Vista after system recovery.
Original title: ID of Windows product and product keys.
I'm about to buy a HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium. I seriously think about the use of the recovery system to return to its original state. If everything goes well and I have to activate windows again, I guess I'm going to need a product key and maybe a product ID. Looking at the system info, I see a product ID of xxxx8-OEM-xxx21xx-000xx, the product key on the sticker on the base is xxxxx-xxxx2-xxxx6-xxxx4-xxxxx. When I used Magic Jelly Bean to find the product key, it shows a totally different key xxxxx-xxxx8-xxxxQ-xxxx2-xxxxx. Why there are 2 different keys?
AVH ' old age and treachery always wins over youth and skill! Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings
Hi skeeterh3,
To activate Windows, the product ID is not necessarily required.
If you try to do a system restore, the system cannot ask the product key.
However, if you need help for activation I recommend you to contact the Center Activation Microsoft.
Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

Problems installing software hp after system recovery system
I just replaced the motherboard due to the failure in an hp g60. I tried using the recovery of the system since the partition and the computer reboots after about 20 seconds in the hp software installation process. Then the system recovery screen would jump upward to want to me again the whole process. After 3 times to do, I did a scan of seatools hard disk and it tested ok. Then I thought that maybe there was a file corrupted on the partition, so I ordered the hp recovery discs. I ran these discs today and I got almost 3 quarters thanks to the installation of the hp software when a screen poped and told him to end the windows session and the computer restarted again. When he started upward, poped system recovery window back up and asked me to do it again. I'm looking for any help/suggestions on this subject. Thank you.
Hello
This could be the problem as HP recovery disks check for a "tattoo" on the bios to make sure that the operating system is installed on the machine, that it was intended. One way to confirm this would be to install an OS on a retail disc - even if you don't activate - just to see if this will load ok.

Restore saved the Windows Mail Messages in the New Installation of Windows Mail
I found the following on this forum thread. Further to this review in the second paragraph, I was able to move a message to the empty folder. But I was unable to move the other messages in the folder. The files I tried to move appeared as attachments in a new message. The .eml files and not marked read-only. What should I try next?
TIA,

Windows Mail does not dbx files. Copy the store directory of all message on the desktop of the new machine. Then right-click on the file and go to properties and make sure that they are not read-only. Then go to file | Import | Messages in WinMail and choose the format from Windows Mail 7 and point to this directory.

Hi guys,.
I have a HP Envy M6 Sleekbook. It came with Windows 7, and its warranty expired 2 years ago. I took the offer to get a free upgrade of Windows 10 a few months ago. Now, I want to exchange the hard drive out. I have a ready to run on a USB system recovery but its for the original configuration of Windows 7...
My question:
Is there a way I can share disks and get 10 back Windows without paying? HPO only allows you to create a system USB once recovery disk, so I can't make a new record of recovery with windows 10. When I get the factory Windows 7 running on the new hard drive, I'll be able to upgrade to Windows 10 new since I already had it and I wanted to just swap drives? Thank you!!
This link should help you get started: upgrade Windows 10
You can install Windows 7 with your recovery discs and then upgrade to Windows 10 or you can create a Windows [USB/DVD/ISO] 10 installation media and use it to make a 'clean' on the new hard drive installation.
Notes on activation:
- If you have never installed and activated Windows 10 on this computer before, you will see the activation screen. Enter your key of Windows 10 here. If you do not, but you have a valid 7, 8 or 8.1 key, enter it here instead.
- If you have already installed and activated Windows 10 on this computer before, click on "I don't have a product key. Windows will activate automatically after installation.

Windows calendar entries lost after system recovery
Yesterday, I had to do a full system recovery. That in itself is not really a problem because I do a backup on a regular basis, and all the files have been restored, outside my Windows calendar entries. I would have thought that they would be backed up with everything else.
The beckup settings are standard Windows backup settings.
If anyone has an idea where they can be restored from, it would be a great help.
Thahaseena thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, the ics. file doesn't seem to be in windows backup, but I found a way to include this in the future. I showed the steps for others who may encounter the same problem:
Click on a space vacuum calendar > file > Export > make sure that the file name is [your name] calendar > choose a folder you know is saved (e.g. Documents/General > save)
You should do whenever you perform some new entries, but this as an operation 'save', and export default to the location you have chosen, making it even faster.
The ics.file then I hope that automatically backs up your external storage next time you perform a backup.

can not update xp or IE after system recovery
I did a system restore on my computer XP 32 bit. I have not checked to see if he had 1 SP installed, but I had a disc for SP 2 and manually installed SP 3.
I can't install WIndows updates, due to the fact that I need of IE 7 or higher. IE 7 won't install because I guess he needs updates of some sort? How can I solve this problem?I tried to install Service Pack 1, but it wouldn't work because I installed SP 3.

4. after recovery, your office is always show files that were there before the recovery?
Describe the very next step you take after you have completed the recovery. The files are still there, but some are missing such as 2007 Microsoft Office and other programs, but my documents are still there
This means that is non-destructive recovery of Compaq and have without doubt both times. I would say that a re - install destructive is in order and follow my previous instructions that were for a clean install. Note that this will destroy the data so if your data is important you must save it first, ideally twice in two separate devices. If you are worried about data loss, I suggest putting in the hands of a professional, but do not expect to take any responsibility for your data. If someone is able, they may not cover all the possibilities (e.g., disk failure) and we your data must be your responsibility.
In the light of your PC is one that may require the patch from HP/Compaq AMD I have revised my instructions for you below...
Print what you want from this Web site that you can access on the PC hit after the new installation. After the installation you're using IE6 that this site does not work with!
Get these downloads (click the link) and have them on a CD or a USB key (ignore warnings from Microsoft gives you need to be an IT pro or using Windows updates in place)
SP2 (only if your recovery is a "no service pack at all" XP or is a Media Center XP)
SP3 (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)
AMD patch (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)
IE8 (do not leave Microsoft direct you to a later version, IE8 is as good as it gets for XP)
Make sure you have your antivirus solutions and handy greater security as (CD/download).
- Back up your data
- Disconnect from the internet (remove the cable Ethernet or a wireless device?)
- Disconnect all devices except the screen, keyboard and mouse.
- Make the new facility (the driver installation should not be necessary for a resumption of Compaq)
- Remove Norton (use the deletion tool that rocks of XP has suggested)
- Install SP2 (only if there is no service pack at all after the recovery, or it is XP Media Center)
- Install the patch from HP/Compaq AMD (if recovery is pre - SP3)
- Install SP3 (if recovery is pre - SP3)
- Install IE8
- Install antivirus/security
- To connect to the internet
- Update antivirus/security
- Windows Update
- Install remaining desired hardware/software
- Restore your data
Do not use Windows updates or driver "detectives" update/install drivers.
Do not try to use Windows Update, until SP3 is installed.
Do not install IE8 or any other software as long as you are at SP3.
Make sure to use restore points in case something goes 'shaped pear.

Can not download anything after system recovery
I had to do a recovery system Friday. Now, when I start the computer, I get a message "Already ongoing usage data". Data required by the center of HP are initiated by the administrator user on "YOUR-bla bla" (which, I guess it's the name of the administrator). You want to do here, close the other session?
After clicking to complete the other session, it is said: try to close the other session failed.
For this reason, I can't download drivers for anything. I tried to update 9 from Adobe and it fails immediately. I can't yet download Service Packs.Any help would be appreciated. It seems that I need to turn off or restart the administrator, but I do not know how to do it. Anyone have a similar problem or knows what to do?
Hi PaulFh,
What type of recovery system are you running? What are the exact error you are receiveing? You can also save all your data and perform a repair XP installation. See below on how to do this.
1.
When the message Press any key to boot from the CD appears on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.
2.
When you see the message to install Windows XP nowand then press ENTER is displayed on the Welcome to the Setup screen, press ENTER.
3.
Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
4.
In the Windows XP licensing agreement, press F8 to accept the license agreement.
5.
Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
6.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
I hope this helps!
