  Hi John,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  It is regrettable that the laptop does not start and I can understand the inconvenience caused.

  Yes, you have the option to return to the previously installed operating system of Windows 10. However, it should be an upgrade of Windows 10 of any current operating system is. Once upgraded to Windows 10, you can return to the operating system already installed within 30 days from the date of upgrade to Windows 10. After 30 days, responsible for value PC files already installed OS is deleted automatically.

  As you have installed 10 Windows on a separate partition, the advice above applies.

  Let me ask you;

  • How have you deleted Windows 10 of the other partition?
  • When you are offered several operating systems to boot from, what all the options that you see?
  • Have you tried to start each partition one by one to ensure that we work?
  • You receive an error when trying to load the disc?

  You can check the following thread link:

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Recover deleted files / folders in my laptop

  I accidentally deleted a folder (containing the doc and ppt, JPEG files) on my desktop from HP running on Win7.

  How can I recover the files and folder?

  Thanks in advance for the advice.

  John

  Hi John,.

  One possible option is to try the following.

  Click the Start Menu, click your username at the top right.  Right-click on the Documents folder (or anywhere where the deleted file was originally stored) and select Properties.  Click on the "Previous Versions" tab and give it time to load (this can take a few minutes).  If you get a list of the previous versions, left-click one of the mentions just to highlight and open - if you see your files listed, close the list and then click on the option 'Restore' in the Properties window.  If no file is listed, try to open another entrance.

  Kind regards

• Why Windows 7 extremely slow on your laptop just multitasking ordinary?

  Okay, so it is a mystery to me. I'm a tech guy, btw.

  The scenario: I use a little old laptop with 2 GB of RAM. Have virtual memory turned on,

  In ADDITION, have a very fast USB plugged into USB 2.0 and implemented with 4 GB ReadyBoost.

  Using Windows 7 and this notebook can handle.

  Normally, the laptop works very well and is sensitive with place for 4-5 open applications. However, recently,.

  When I open several pages in a browser, it will slow down abruptly to the point where it takes 30-60 seconds

  Press the close button on a page and see my click and everything is not responding. I'm not talking about slowing down a bit,

  I want to talk about a sharp slowdown in the overall system which lasts 10 to 20 minutes, until what I managed to close some windows,

  each takes about a minute to close. Then it accelerates again.

  I checked the memory usage, and my programs use not yet 2 GB of physical RAM when this slowdown happens! But even if the

  pagefile is written it there is no way that this should make Windows so brutally fails. In addition, I have too many 4 gigs of readyboost.

  Something is very wrong with that and I'm curious as to why this phenomenon occurs and how can I solve it?

  No I don't have any spyware, as I said I'm a tech person, this is the basis. I know all this,

  It's something to do with the way Windows is not able to be managed properly.

  An overview of what on Earth is happening here would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  IE uses a lot of resources, especially CPU is what you slow down as only
  have 2 GB of physical RAM. ReadyBoost can help, however, this is only disc (caching speeds
  reading on the rise) and is not a replacement for real RAM.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
  SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those without drain in their names. (Also
  updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
  on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
  Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
  company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
  REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of 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.

  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:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  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.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• After Windows 7 upgrade - duplicate files, folders, and applications

  I don't know if this is the right place for this question. After the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista, I had a lot more on my computer that I did before. I did an inventory of what's on my computer and found copies of almost everything I had 2-3. Is my only recourse now go through all the files, folders and applications and delete the extras? It is a mammoth task since I have almost 1 million files (such as indidcated by my most recent scan). I did this or he was depending on the upgrade to Windows 7?

  Leave me a comment aside: I've been using Windows since Windows 95, and whenever I go through an upgrade, need me 2 months to get my computer to where I could simply use it instead of having to fix it and fix it and fix it. Is this '' fun '' reserved for me alone, or others have the same experience?

  Never read your problem of duplicates of files is also system files or simply your personal files?
  If it's that much of a hassle tried to do a clean install?

  There are many duplicate files in the Windows.old folder on your C: drive?

  Usually, but not always, after I installed Windows 7, you'll have a Windows.old folder on your C: drive that contains data from the previous installation of Windows. Open Windows Explorer and under 'Computer' click the C: drive - if the Windows.old folder is on your hard drive, it will contain all of your files to the Windows system, and it can be removed if you do not need to free up space on your hard drive.

  Make sure that you can see the Windows.old folder:
  1. click on start, type: hidden
  2. click on 'display the hidden files and folders '.
  3. Click to select "show the hidden files and folders".
  4 uncheck the following three points:
  Hide empty drives
  Hide extensions of known file types
  Hide protected operating system files
  5. click on OK
  (Note: after you are done go back and double check "Hide protected operating system files.") If you want to change the other return parameters are.)

  How can I remove the Windows.old folder?
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder

  If the Windows.old folder does not remove:
  In Windows Explorer, you should see a folder called Windows.old on your C: drive. That contains all of your files from your previous installation. If you need all the files, you can copy them to another folder and then delete Windows.old. If you do not need anything in the folder, it is safe to delete.

  After got rid of the virus Fake system restore Windows, how can I restore my hidden files, folders and shortcuts?

  It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

  Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

  Some malware is installing the entries of proxy server redirecting internet connections. If you encounter this problem step 2 see in the following link:

• Reinstalling windows and file recovery

  I had to reinstall windows. The menu said my programs would be deleted, but my files would be saved. I can not find them. Where can be found? the search function no longer works.

  Try looking under C:\Documents and Settings.

  If you can find them here and/or can not access the subfolders, then you need to "Take Ownership" of these files/folders.

• Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. The system cannot find the specified file.

  Original title: Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

  Arrrrgh!  Had a terrible time trying to get the scanner function works on my Epson Stylus CX7000F.

  I get the too common but seemingly irreparable "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...". Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to intall it. The system cannot find the file specified. "

  The job of printer/copier/fax end but not go on the scanner.

  I tried the 'fixes' to epson.com repeatedly with no luck.  This includes their reccomendation uninstall/install several times, trying even to this process in safe mode and clean boot the.

  I ran the program to 'fix' Microsoft ATS with no luck.  It has detected the error and said that the problem has been resolved, but guess what?  No, it isn't.

  I clicked on install update driver/driver from Device Manager.

  I tried the work around, eliminating the "LowerFilters" of the registry.  Guess what?  You have it, no luck.

  So, before I go and buy a new printer/scanner, with no guarantee that they will work.  Does anyone have another suggestion?

  I am running Vista, 32-bit.

  You can also try and replace or install the ntprint.inf file.

  I had a similar problem on a Windows 7 PC and noticed that this file was not present.  I just copied the file from a different PC Win7.  The printer, I tried to install was a Brother MFC-J410w.

  The file can be found here C:\Windows\inf

  Hope this helps someone.
