• Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

  OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

  Hi PAM,.

  In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

  The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

  A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

  An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

  If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

  If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  I tried to use system restore, but he says he has not found a moment of restoration which is good.

  The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files on the computer.  I still have another computer to use, so I'm not so worried about starting the computer.  I want to find a way to the first backup of my personal data and files from the computer to external devices, then try to repair the computer.

  Thank you.

  Hi DreamMeng,

  You can try to use third party software to back up data and check.

  You can use your favorite search engine to navigate on the third-party data backup software and that the software allows to save data.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  You can also make contact with the Local Techshop for assistance to the protection of the data.

• Is it safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore?

  I would like to know if it is safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore. I did two restorations system in a year or two, and I have two files labeled "Windows.old" and "Windows.old.000" which are just take a lot of space on my computer. I heard that it is safe to remove them, but only if some files are copied correctly. How do you know if those files are copied on?

  Thank you!

• I made a disk defrag on the guest computer and now VM won't start

  Hi, I stupidly done a disk defrag on the guest computer and now VM won't start. I have attached the log files you. Please help me.

  Post edited by: a.p. - the moderator Note: branched out in a new discussion

  This can make things more difficult depending on the current state of the virtual machine.

  What you should do at this point - unless already done--is to backup/copy of files of all VM to ensure that you have a way to go back if things don't work as expected. The next step is to find out if it is possible to free up space on the D: drive, so that the virtual machine does not have to be moved (move the files could be unnecessary snapshots). If there is enough free space on the disk, use the file attached configuration (.vmx) to replace the damaged one. Ensure that VMware Workstation or at least tab of the virtual machine is closed when you do this to ensure that the replaced .vmx file is reread. If things work with the replaced files, consider deleting snapshots that you no longer need. This will not release disk space only, but can also improve the performance of the virtual machine.

  Original title: after a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now

  I had a virus which caused problems one of the minor being I've lost the system tools. It now says its empty when I open it.

  You don't need system defragmentation tools.

  You can defragment from the hard drive, then right-click of your hard drive, properties, tools, defragment now.

  Of course, you must fix your missing tools too.

  Part of the answer to the technical support engineer Microsoft does not too which make me think that the MSE has never actually tested this Board to see if it actually works or not.  It's a shame.

  In addition, these shortcuts are not part in the folder in any case.  These things must go in the folder for all users - if you don't want your XP to be ignored.  It is a source of embarrassment.

  I don't know what you used to remove the virus, but I could do that at some point (soon):

  Hello

  You should be able to solve this problem by activating the mode Hibernate in the command prompt. If she hibernates, it will save an image where you are on your hard drive and you will be in business once the power returns.
  You must also make sure that your power options would spend in hibernation mode when the power is lower at some point.
  1. Click Start and type 'CMD '.
  2. Right click on CMD and run as administrator.
  3. Click on continue when you are prompted.
  4. "Type in the command prompt" "" powercfg.exe /Hibernate on.
  5. Go to the options to be able to enter the control panel by typing in "Power Options."
  6. You will see the different power options. The one you have selected, that's what you are currently using. Click on "change plan settings".
  7. Click on "change power avancΘs."
  8. Scroll down to the battery and you will see the options of low battery and critical battery responses. Make sure they are set for the hibernation.

  I hope that after these steps, your problems. Please let me know if you have any questions.

• Vista can only boot mode safe after updating Panda Internet Security installed on the system

  Original title: VISTA can only successfully starts in Mode safe. When you try the System Restore restarts in Normal Mode and restore failed "Volume Shadow Copy Service used by the system restore does not work"

  Problem started (I think) after that PANDA INTERNET SECURITY did a update and says a restart is required (29/09/2010). System could not restart normally. Started, but virtually nothing loaded and couldn't do anything.

  In Safe Mode, first mistake was a Protection Exception for TPSrv.exe (a PANDA executable)

  Tried to do a Safe Mode system restore to point before PANDA update (28/09/2010). System Restore starts safe mode and then restart in Normal Mode.  After about an hour comes up with error message "Volume Shadow Copy Service used by the system restore does not work. (0 x 81000202) event log.

  I also tried sfc.exe but found no compromise windows

  Hello

  Follow the steps mentioned below.

   

  Method 1:

  Check if the Volume Shadow Copy service is started. Follow the steps mentioned below.

  a. click the Start button and in the search box, type in: Services.

  b. press "Enter" to open the Services window.

  c. find related services that are listed above and check the status (on the road) and the Startup Type (automatic).

  d. double-click the service to change the status of started and set the startup type to automatic.

  Try to do a system restore and check.

  Method 2:

  Since you are able to boot into safe mode, I suggest you perform a clean boot and disable all non-Microsoft applications, then boot normally and control.

  To perform a clean boot follow the steps mentioned in the link given below.

• No network after a power failure and only works in safe mode with network. Operating system is Vista SP2.

  The latest patch to update this system was .net framework 4

  This behavior has occurred on several machines after a power failure in our factory caused all systems restart.

  I have run chkdsk

  I ran sfc

  SafeMode internet works fine.

  Clean boot does not solve the problem.

  Cannot remove .net framework 4 because I can't get windows installation service to work properly.

  X red on the connection in normal mode

  I run with the reset.cmd file subinacl to reset all the registry settings. It gave no results.

  I looked at all of the services that are running successfully in normal mode and those that are run in mode safe and that services to start. This got me internet again in normal mode, but we are far from finished there are a lot of services is still needed. I'll make one by an approach to see what will begin and what doesn't.

  System Restore was successful, but had no bearing on the issue. Here's the solution that worked.

  Safe Mode boot

  on computers that are running Windows live onecar I ran as administrator onecare removal tool

  Remove the Adobe Flash 10 utility

  Open msconfig and services.msc

  enable all services that are running in safe mode to run msconfig on the next reboot. Also enable required services for Windows updates and windows install

  Enable

  BITS, com +, Windows udpate, workstation and service server and all dependent services. If you miss some that is good because you and individual services and start them from services.msc when the next restart.

  Restart the machine.

  I found that after this reboot a few updates have been posted in the update list installed in the control panel that had not been previously listed.

  Remove all instances of Java (cannot be done in safe mode)

  Reinstall Java and flash player from their respective Web sites

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials www.microsoft.com/security_essentials

  Run windows update and install the updates.

  run msconfig and select normal startup

  Restart and ensure normal operation.

  It takes about 1/2 hour, 1 hour per machine which was much lower than a full reinstall.
