My OS: Windows XP SP3 edition of media professionals. I've known several and a wide variety of problems after the 2/2009 PC recovery

ALL my problems have been reviewed by PC technology that was not successful to correct a number of problems.
1 System Restore does not work
2. impossible to reinstall sysvol32.exe Windows XP was preinstalled in my PC when I bought it.
3. in the display control panel, all the themes, screen savers, music that fits the theme, i.e. Nature, are absent.
4. firewall must be reactivated every 15 minutes.
I have more that need to be addressed, but will start with these.

Thank you very much for your help!

margeann,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  The first thing to do is to search for infections of virus or malware.  If you do not have an antivirus program you can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

Then I would try the following; the problems with the boot; run chkdsk; Run the sfc.

  • Solution for Webcam sleep & back problems after the upgrade to Windows 7

    Just thought I'd share the solution I recently found a problem I've had since a Satellite Pro A200 GE 26 Q of the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

    I installed the software webcam for windows 7 on the toshiba site and built-in Chicony camera would work very well after a reboot, but if the computer is in sleep for a long enough period, the unit would stay asleep when the computer woke up and wouldn't work at all, unless the computer has fully restarted.

    The solution lies in a change in the registry to force the computer to update the webcam USB controller is attached, after the release of sleep. It was apparently the default for Vista when it was released, but was changed in Vista SP1 and Windows 7. Designed for Vista original material which did not have its drivers/registry updated entries could therefore be subject to a failure because of changes to the default settings through the updates of windows. Toshiba, it seems, do not think that this issue then of the extinction of the registry fix for Win7 upgrades for the satellite Pro A200. Therefore fix manually.

    The article where the solution is here: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631]

    You do NOT have the file of the fix, you must only make the change to the registry described later.

    You need turn on the camera while you do the following to make sure that it appears in Device Manager correctly.

    Step 1: Determine the specific USB host controller


    # Click on * early *, enter devmgmt.msc #the * search * box, then click on * devmgmt.msc* in the * list of programs.
    # The * view * menu, click on * devices of * connection *.
    # Expand the processor node. For example, expand * ACPI * Multiprocessor PC *. (In my case, * ACPI x 86 based PC) *.
    # Extend * system compatible ACPI Microsoft *.
    # Extend * PCI Bus *. Several USB host controllers will be listed.
    # Expand each USB host controller node, and then expand successive subnodes until you find the name of the device that is failing. For example, the device entry might look like the following: ACPI Multiprocessor PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel (R) \ICH8 family USB Universal Host Controller - drive root Hub\fingerprint 2830\USB * (Note: for me, I found the webcam to ACPI x 86 PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel (R) \ICH8 family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 283A\USB Root Hub + USB Composite Device\Chicony USB 2.0 Camera-based) *.
    # When you have located the device, right click on the associated and then USB host controller click on * properties *. In the example that is listed in step 6 you would right-click * Intel(r) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller-* 2830, then click on * properties *. (* Again, for me it was different - ICH8 Family USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 283 a *).
    # Click on the * details * tab.
    # Select * pilot key * in the list. The driver key will look like the following. Note the last four digits of this driver key. {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} \0002 * (on my system it's: (36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000) \0005*).

    Step 2: Add the ForceHCResetOnResume registry value for the USB host controller


    # Click on * early *, type regedit #in the * search * box, then click on * regedit.exe* in the * list of programs.
    # Find and then click the registry subkeys that are similar to the following: * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\Four-digit_number.* in this step, the numero_a_quatre_chiffres is a placeholder for the USB devices in the system.
    # You must search the registry subkey by using the value that you noted in step 9 above. For example, if the key of the pilot to step 9 is * {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} \0002*, then you need to get * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class {36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000} \0002. (For me, as mentioned above, this was \0005 (36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000)). *

    # On the * Edit * menu, point on * New * and then click on * DWORD value *.
    # Type# * ForceHCResetOnResume * to the name of the DWORD and then press ENTER.
    # Right click * ForceHCResetOnResume * and then click on * edit *.
    # In the * boite box the value data, type# 1 and then click on * OK *.
    # Exit the registry editor.
    # Restart the computer.

    This fixed the problem for a long time for me. I'm writing this in case it helps someone else who has the same problem. If anyone from Toshiba never reads this, you might consider adding the registry fixes for upgrades of windows 7 on the download page for this & all other models affected.

    Big Hey what s announced and detailed, thank you! :)
    I m wondering how you discovered it.

    But I want to add something: before you make or change something in the Windows registry, make a backup of it. In the worst cases, restore you the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

  • 'Import pictures and videos' parameters collapsed at work after the installation of Windows Live Essentials

    Hi guys,.
    Today in the morning, when you import pictures from my Canon EOS Rebel Xti, I tried to change some settings in the dialog box "import pictures and videos" and to my surprise the link (button) Options does not work. I used to change the folder where the files would be saved or if the images would be deleted or no device.
    I think that it has become defective after the instalation of Windows Live Photo (Essentials), have you heard of this issue before? Is there a solution? Should I uninstall the Windows Live?
    I prefer to use the dialog box "Import pictures like videos" for most of my daily imports.

    I am running windows 7 on my laptop last night, that he day and when it's over he did not start the screen flashes and does not start I tried to do a restore of the system without any look can someone help thanks

    Original title: update

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    a. you have any Windows 7 installation media?

    b. What is the update's KB number?

    [To see which articles updates failed, try the following steps:]
    a. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    [ b. in the left pane, click view update history.]

    If the update number is KB3097877, then reinstall the update KB should solve the problem. However, as you can not reach your office, I would first run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    If you are able to reach the office, and then try to Uninstall then reinstall the KB3097877 update and check if it helps resolve the issue permanently.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • HP EliteBook 850 G3: HP EliteBook 850 G3: its problems after the update of Windows 10 anniversary

    Hi people!

    After the update of Windows 10 birthday I have problems with my sound card. There are two sound cards listed by Device Manager. The first is "Conexant Audio of ISST" and the second "Intel High Definition Audio". I know not weather it was the case before the update. I just recognized it after the update when I had sound problems.

    In any case, on a sound start works on the other boot it does not work. It seems that Windows chooses the sound card, every time when it starts. Sometimes it takes the bad sound card.

    I tried to uninstall maps its and their resettlement. On the HP site, there is a driver for the Conexant map bot no driver for Intel High Definition Audio card. 10 Windows itself is not find a driver for this sound card. I also tried to reinstall the other drivers, chipset drivers for example. But unfortunately it did not help. I also tried to disable the Intel High Definition Audio, but also without success.

    What else can I try? I don't want to reinstall Windows. There must be a solution without this. Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of my device manager, perhaps it helps:

    If you need more information, please let me know.

    Best regards
