my computer is READING ONLY MODEhow can I change this?
Read only mode does not check disk (chkdsk) to operate effectively. Every time at startup, the computer is
asking to scan drive for consistency, but then he says "DISC CHECK CANCELLED"
What procedure should I do to change that one mode of reading?
Frankly, if you have too much talk about event viewer errors - and you do not have a Windows install CD - you probably will be better served by taking your computer to a local professional reputable (not a type BigBoxStoreUSA or rather geeksquad).
However, you can see if these steps help you:
- If you have a Spyware Doctor installed, uninstall it.
- If you have ZoneAlarm installed, open it, click on the "Présentation" tab, then select 'Préférences' and uncheck 'Protect ZA customer'.
Click Start, then run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click on 'Ok '. At the prompt in the command window, type the following commands, pressing "Enter" after each of them: (Please note the spaces in the following commands.)
- chkntfs/d: ... (This will reset autocheck default options)
- chkntfs /c C: ... (This allows you to check drive C :)
- fsutil dirty query c: ... (This queries the drive and will probably tell you that it is dirty)
- chkntfs /x c: ... (The switch x tells Windows to NOT check the drive specified at the next startup)
At this point, restart your computer, it won't do a chkdsk and will start directly to Windows.
This step is important because it is where the dirty Bit will be disabled.
Click Start, then run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click on 'Ok '. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press "Enter" after each of them: (still once, note the spaces).
- chkdsk /f /r c: ... (To run manually complete a chkdsk operation)
- Y ..... (To accept him running at the next startup)
This should take you through 5 stages of analysis and will unset that dirty little. Be patient... it is a very thorough control and will take some time... it may even appear again during the last two steps... 60 to 90 minutes would be unreasonable for it in some cases.
Finally, when the chkdsk operation is complete, type fsutil dirty query c:, press 'Enter' and Windows will confirm that the dirty Bit is not set on this drive.
Now, restart again and see if chkdsk always runs at startup.
If chkdsk still runs when you restart, you will have to create a bootable CD with the Windows Recovery Console and run chkdsk from there:
Follow the directions here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic270018.html (scroll down to ""How to create an XP Bootable CD Console collection "")
Once you start the Recovery Console, type
CHKDSK c: /r
and press enter

I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?
If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.
If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:
http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/vista_clean_installation.htm

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

* Original title: get the product key
I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?
Hello
Your question is not very clear to understand.
If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.
There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.
How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.
Try Amazon.com, etc.
___________________________________________________________
And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

If you had a 7 upgrade that you have bought yourself on the HP laptop, use programs Key Finder for the PK:

Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?
Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?
Original title: IP address
Hi John,.
Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.
IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool
However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.
Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.
How to reset the Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)
