  • MS-DOS prompt says C:/Documents and Settings/Pattie >

    There was never any user on my computer named Patti.  I have two user accounts on my computer, have never been Patti. So how is my prompt MSDOS keep tell me who?  Is somewhere in my system, this username?  Is it possible to remove this?

    You discover the difference between a 'user name' and a 'profile '. When a new user is created, a profile is also created with a matching name.  Later the user name can be changed/renamed to something else.  This changes the user name, but the profile name does not change.  So apparently the user that you have problems with a was created originally as 'Cake' then renamed later.  This does not affect what anyone; But if you want to remove it, it's not horribly difficult - but you may need to create yet another username in the process or rename your user name before you start...

    To repair this claim that your current username (or 'Cake' user profile) is corrupted or damaged.  Then follow the steps in the following article:

  • black screen w/flashing (dos prompt that usually work) at the corner of L/H.

    I have a D-610 from Dell with windows XP, when I turn on the computer, the printer Dell flash screen appears and then goes to a black screen with a flashing on corner top l/h. I tried to boot into safe mode, nothing works. I ran diagnostics, no help.

    I decided to run a repair of XP Cd and restart, the same thing. The machine was working fine until my daughter it off last night. Ideas, any help would be appreciated.

    It's really a common problem.

    "Off" means using the power instead of a normal shutdown button?

    I start in the XP Recovery Console and run a chkdsk /r on the system first to make sure that the file system is not afflicted.

    Start in the XP Recovery Console is not the same as starting on any system or recovery CD which might come with your system.

    If that didn't change things, I would then run fixmbr, but since you have a Dell, which would replace the customized Dell Master Boot Record If it exists (maybe there's not a MBR custom Dell or maybe it's OK for you).

    The Master Boot Record, it's giving you a bit of your startup options and sometimes Dells have things installed on the hard drive as a bootable recovery, a diagnostic partition partition, etc. and if you run fixmbr, you lose those.

    If you run fixmbr/fixboot, which would put everything on the news of XP, and you would not be able to use the Dell boot options again.

    Maybe it's okay with you, or maybe you do not have them at all.

    But, now that you've tried to fix it, things get more complicated.

    If you have some personal data out there, you can save somewhere outside of a USB device or a place like this before continuing.  There are a variety of methods to do so.

    You could also post your question on the Dell Community and see what they have to say.

    When Support of Dell people do not know what is happening, they will usually tell you that you need to reinstall your XP from scratch, but I never do.

    The Dell company sometimes has good ideas, but they are hard to find and sometimes their "experts" seem to have ideas that are less useful than here (if possible!).

    Copy files from a CD-ROM to a hard drive

    To copy files from a CD-ROM to a hard disk:

    1. If you already have a folder on your hard disk to contain the files from your CD-ROM, note the full path to your folder (for example, C:\Pictures, D:\Images, and so on) and proceed to step 2. If you do not have a folder for your files, create a new folder:

      1. Click Start, point to programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
      2. Click on the hard drive to contain the new folder. On the file menu, point to new, and then click folder.
      3. Type a descriptive name for your folder and press ENTER. For example, if you want to copy the image files on your hard drive, you can name the folder images, Images or another descriptive name. Note the full path to your folder (for example, C:\Pictures, D:\Images, and so on) and then close Windows Explorer.
    2. Click Start, point to programs, and then click MS-DOS prompt.
    3. At the command prompt, navigate to the CD-ROM drive, and then navigate to the folder that contains the files to be copied. For example, if you want to copy the files in the folder of the drivers on the Windows 98 CD-ROM and your CD-ROM drive is drive D, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:
      d:
      cd\
      Drivers CD
    4. Copy the files from the source to the CD folder in the folder on your hard drive. To continue the previous example, if your source folder is the folder of the drivers on the Windows 98 CD-ROM, your CD-ROM drive is drive D and you want to copy files to the C:\Drivers folder, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:
      Copy *. * c:\drivers

    If you mean you want to reset the computer to its factory site, there is no such command.  Check with your computer manufacturer to see what are the instructions they gave (they no doubt given if it's a Dell, HP, Lenovo, Gatewaye or other such big seller) in order to perform this destructive restore (whatever it is you don't have bnackup, GONE.)

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

    I deleted the linux partition and restarted the computer. But now, I get a msg of rescue grub when I start it illuminates... I can't get into windows.i isn't a windows recovery disk... .pls help

    Hello

    It seems that your boot record is too bad.
    You need a Windows disk to repair this

    For example Win 7 disc
    If you n t have such drive, ask a friend who could borrow the Win 7 DVD.
    Using the startup disk, and then choose the option "Repair your computer", located in the lower left corner of the screen. Then click on repair and restart and restart again in the Windows 7 System Repair environment.
    When the System Recovery Options is displayed, make sure that use recovery tools that can help solve the problems of Windows startup is selected. Now in the menu list, select the command line option, and in the the DOS prompt type the following three commands:

    Bootrec.exe /fixmbr
    Bootrec.exe /fixboot (may return a not found message "Eliment")
    Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

    Close the command prompt window, and then click the Startup Repair option.
    Now you must wait until the process ends at what point you will see two messages:
    Windows cannot repair this computer automatically and Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. Ignore the Don't Send/don't send options.

    Close this message window (click X in the upper right of the Send/don't send window)
    Then click view advanced options for the recovery option and support system and in the main menu once more click on startup repair.

    This time the repair process can only a few seconds and when prompted the startup repair couldn't detect a problem, click Finish and run the Startup Repair option once more, click on finish, then remove the DVD to repair the system and click on restart.

    Restart the computer. Here :)

  • Install the drive Media Express on Satellite M60

    I just bought myself a M60-170. Because I have to join a domain, I had to format the drive and reinstall with XP pro.
    During the reinstallation, I deleted all partitions and EMP has disappeared. After reading the manual, I saw that there is an option for EMP.

    When I boot with the EMP recovery disk and try to reinstall it, it says that it will destroy all data partitions. But does take?
    I made a partition of 250 MB unallocated at the end of the training, but it also reformatted my OS which is located on the partition of handguns?

    If you install the Express Media Player so the whole HARD disk will be deleted!
    I found this installation instruction:

    1. ALL DATA ON THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE DESTROYED IRREVERSABLY

    2. install Express Media Player:

    (4) you can use fdisk.exe or gdisk.exe - I'll show the syntax here gdisk
    (its easier to describe and there are a lot of descriptions for FDISK on the net)

    (5) now, we create two partitions (size of 50%: 50% - playersize).
    --> At the DOS prompt, type:
    Gdisk 1 /cre /pri /sz:50%-> creates a primary partition 1
    Gdisk 1 /cre /ext-> creates an extended partition 2
    Gdisk 1/log /cre-> creates a 2nd logical partition
    Gdisk 1/p:1-> partionion set 1 active /act

    (6) now reboot with Windows XP Recovery CD, go to expert mode
    (7) menu use: Local\Partition\From Image, choose image GHO menu

  • Express the Media Player (EMP) recovery disk - satellite P105-S6024

    I have a problem with my on my new machine satellite P105-6024 express Media Player software.

    As I bought it, everything works fine. But then, I did the partitions on my HARD drive and I instaled all the software recovery disc. And everything looks earlier and work properly but Express Media Center. It seems that it is not installed. I found the special Express Media Player restore disk but I don't know how to use it. (I am a novice complite). As I knew EMP is a linux-like software and it is not visible in Windows. And I know that there was a small special partition dedicated to this application. This partition has been deleted. And I'm not sure that it is possible to install EMP once more on my laptop. How can I use the EMP recovery disk? If I just run in the windows environment I see just a few files - but their execution, nothing is happen. I'd appreciate a small manual.

    Thank you very much in advance

  • Portege 3490, Windows does not start no-how to reinstall?

    Hello
    I bought a laptop portege flea market in US a few months ago. It was quite a good deal, but unfortunately it came without floppy and cd drives, only with the external network adapter.

    The problem is that now, Windows XP does not start upward due to some mess that I did with Acronis partition software-dos prompt just says:

    From Acronis Loader...

    The Acronis loader: no current configuration file.
    Press to restart...

    I guess that it is not really a problem if I had a floppy or cd drive. Although I would rather buy one just for unique operating system installation. (normally I use lan connection to transfer files between my computer).

    In any case, I would be very happy if you could tell me how boot/install OS using the LAN network connection (how to turn on my desktop pc into a CD drive on the server and dhcp on the network sharing, etc.). I tried to search the Internet to do this, but it is surprisingly bad comments on this topic, and toshiba so do not write on this subject in the manual...

    Best regards
    Aldous

    Hello

    Well, I think that somewhere, there should be information that it supports booting from LAN (PXE). But since this reqiures some heave stuff behind the LAN, it might be a little difficult to tell the whole story in the manual.

    Anyway, the way I am familiar with this is that you can start the machine from the LAN (or rather install the machine of the LAN) If you have an available RIS (Remote Installation Server). This isn't something that people generally have in their homes. What it takes is a Win2000 / XP or Win2003 server with active DHCP server. You will also need to prepare a special 'image' of the installation media (but there is a guide to help you with this in Win2000 server at least).
    After that, it should be fairly simple. Starting the machine of the LAN, get an IP address and by accepting to download the bootstrap of the server, login and then it really looks as if you dΘmarrez from a Windows Media.
    So in short - use it to Win2000/XP/2003 server and support for Windows of choice. Some LAN cables and possibly a switch/hub.

    If you can get your hands on a PC Card (16-bit)! CD Rom and can make a CD bootable, then that could be easier.

    Theoretical, you can also move your HARD drive to another PC and it is
    -install Windows on it

    or

    make 2 partitions and copy Windows Media to the second to the first bootable with f.ex. BACK/Win9X, bring it and install Windows on the first partition when the disc is in the 3490.

    But these 2 varaints gives 2 potential problms as they are complicated to solve:

    If you only install BACK/Win9X on the HARD drive you will get probably the problems to start the HARD drive when you put it in the 3490.

    If you install windows on the HARD disk, you may both get HARD drive boot problems and also get windows to load correctly due to differences in the chipsets.

    Sorry for a lot of words :)

    Good luck!
