Microsoft PhotoDraw V2 will not boot Windows 7 January 2015

I've never had a problem using Microsoft PhotoDraw V2 with Windows 7. There were two windows updates critical that were installed on my PC this week.  The second was installed while I was working on a task and a fall that advanced the system closed and restarted without warning (normally I receive a message that the computer will restart in 10 minutes (or whatever variable time I could pick) and that I should save my work in anticipation of the recovery underway.) Following this update, Microsoft PhotoDraw V2 is no longer recognized by Windows as a viable program should be assigned as a default option for opening a specific file (jpg, jpeg, gif). I ran the compatibility issues resolution and manually set the program to run with Windows 7. No corrective steps makes no difference to the functioning of the program.

I can open the program manually and work backward. By that I mean I can go through the process of opening the program and using the process 'file/open/XXX.jpg', but with my work, I usually take a quick decision after inspecting a file about what software or application should I use to adjust an image that I considered necessary to clouds.

Although I suspect it's also good that he'll get, I wonder if I can restore Microsoft PhotoDraw V2 as a viable program to adjust the Visual images.

Thank you for your time in reading this and any corrective action might suggest.

Hi Jim,.

What updates have been installed prior to this problem?

  • Once you notice the numbers KB updates that have been installed prior to this issue, you can first try of uninstall and reinstall Microsoft PhotoDraw V2 and see if that corrects the problem.
  • If this does not help, I you suggest to System Restore to a previous point, when the program worked as expected and then install the updates manually one by one in a clean start state to check if that helps.

Note: once you have completed troubleshooting, perform the steps in step 3: to reset the computer as usual.

  • Home PC will not boot Windows Vista after updating sound card drivers.

    Okay, so I built a brand new pc last night. A worked like a charm, perfectly executed and all. Installed a new sound card, opened it and a few minutes put in my computer, install the drivers and had it works perfectly. Windows loaded perfectly, no problem at all anywhere. Then I'll update the drivers for the sound card, a large download but he finished. He was trying to install the drivers, then while he was, I've been on google chrome on facebook and then randomly, I lost the internet connection. My receiver wifi for my computer was fine and turned on and running great, but for some reason any my computer does not pick up a signal even if all my other devices don't. When the drivers have been installed and the updates are finished, I rebooted my computer.

    Problems from there. I turned the computer back and tried to boot windows, but computer science got to the vista loading screen and then resets. He made several times. So I tried to boot into the last known good configuration. I spent the loading screen, then a flashed blue screen with a bunch of words and he said something along the lines of "Windows has encountered an error", but disappeared in literally one second about. Then the computer shuts down. Since then whenever I try to start in windows, I don't yet get to the loading screen, any choice I use to try to start in windows, no work. When I choose one my computer just is a black screen. It loads the bios very well and everything works great but the OS is the question.

    Any suggestions?

    Or, if you just want to back up your data and do a clean install:

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

  • Vista will not boot

    Since auto-updates 2nd week of February 2010, my PC will not boot.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    Startup error - error PXE-L300 1AS - will not boot from USB

    I recently bought a new HD to replace the original that my laptop takes an hour to load.

    I put the new drive hard at in the BIOS setting, I chose to boot from USB... USB is recognized as it appears on the screen of the BIOS. I disabled the LAN option as it gives me PXE error... I think that the USB files are not read. as I handed the old HD and attached to boot from USB but it just goes to the start screen.

    I thought that perhaps I bought the wrong HD, but a new appeared on the BIOS setting... I'm a bit confused and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction...

    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    New HARD drive has nothing to do with it. Problem must be your USB key.
    In your ad you didn t wrote what is on it, and we don t know if USB can operate as boot device or not.

    I put t know what OS you want to install right now but original recovery DVDs or use Microsoft installation disc and install Win7 32 bit. I ve installed on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

    After installing an update of the bios recommended on the hp website my dv6131od running xp pro sp3 will not load windows

    next steps?  is there a way to access the BIOS?

    Thank you

    There is a simple solution to this problem.  The HP Online Crash Analysis Team has finally responded to my email after 34 days.  I had given up hearing from them despite several requests to repeat.

    I had completely disassembled the laptop trying to find the bios setting the jumpers on the motherboard in response to an idea contained in one of the PM, I sent... all to nothing does not...

    OCAT told me to look in the BIOS under "system configuration" for the Native SATA support.  The last update of the BIOS resets this point 'activated', but that only works for Vista & Win 7.  This must be set to "disabled" for XP and previous operating system.

  • Microsoft 'Fix it' will not download/run/save

    Hello

    Microsoft 'Fix it' will not download, Vista SP1 32, running with the Defender, basics of security, AVG 9. and Win firewall. I added the site as exceptions on IE etc, but I can't get the .exe to others... BECAUSE IT WON'T SAVE TO THE OFFICE OR TO RUN!

    Help please

    Hello

    You shouldn't run MSE with a complete other antivirus. And Defender is disabled by MSE as it does
    the same function for spyware and antivirus adds.

    What Fix - it you try to run? What is the problem?

    AVG is probably the primary cause. I would uninstall it by using the removal tool or Special Instructions
    from their site - AVG 9 is causing many questions. Usually best to disable as much as possible before
    the abduction. Also download but do not install the replacements until after the deletion is completed
    and a reboot. Use the method below to all in the right order.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN

    AVG removal tool
    http://www.Avg.com/us-en/download-tools

    -------------------------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

    ================================

    Your router may need a firmware update, but that would probably not produce
    bluescreens. And the rest can be processed after that AVG is out of the picture.

    I hope this helps.
