• Reinstalling Windows 7 problem

  Hey all,.

  My PC was to have some bugs, so I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7, you use the disc that came with my Alienware Aurora. I start my PC from the CD and the Windows 7 Installer begins to launch. When I press 'Install on this computer', an error message appears shortly after and said "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing" or something of the sort; the only options are down travel and a new analysis. Therefore, my computer is pretty useless at this point. How to take this step so I can format my drive and reinstall Windows 7?

  I tried setting the startup mode of the Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI, but that made no difference.

  I am desperate at this point, any help would be appreciated.

• Window update causing problems of printer driver

  Hi, I have a laptop running XP and router wireless computer (WAG54G) and a set of HP6380 in one. About 2 nights ago an update to Windows Installer by himself and rebooted the laptop (even though I have some turned off automatic updates what they seem to be screwing with anything these updates produce still grr)...

  I went to try and print and to found the 6380 was absent from the list of available printers... The problem is not with the wireless network (as it is trendy and functional). I don't know what it does the update of windows... but when I tried to reinstall the drivers for this printer from the disc, he acknowledged that they were already installed... So I uninstalled them instead (and it is taken up only parts of the driver remained and he removed these pieces).

  Then I tried to do a fresh driver... install that took a long time because it got stuck at the end... Finally, he came up with an error and so I tried to introduce him, HP - and received click on a desktop icon... (Icon HP - XP Installation). I tried it but it tells me to 1) Reinstall driver (done twice -) solve printing problems wireless (not a problem at this point given that I have no printer driver and I can use the network wireless for other things very well) well tried anyway... or 2

  Anyone has any suggestions please > in the past when Windows updates have caused problems, I used the system restore to roll back, but this is only a temporary solution - as Windows insists on the updates I want!

  Thank you very much!

  If you have the original HP software CD, look in the folder of the ccc/utils for a L3_unintsall (or similar).  Run for an uninstall very full.

  Reset.

  Now, download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.  DO NOT reinstall from the CD (a good rule is in general not the CDs software, but to go to the website of the manufacturer for the latest and best).

• I had to reinstall Windows - problems accessing the profile of old or existing to show all emails, I had

  I had to reinstall windows. I have several drives in my computer and I copied the entire C: drive to another drive in the PC. I thought when I reinstalled Thunderbird, I could just point to profile located on the other drive... email accounts but it doesn't work.

  I had multiple accounts configured in Thunderbird - accounts about 6, but just one profile. I had several records created for organizing email locally. So, I guess that he should be a both local and roaming profile with the same name? I checked my mail server web interface and there are currently approximately 105 emails on this subject. I know there are at least 500 total emails into the inboxes of Thunderbird. I try to restore those old e-mails, as well as local folders - but am not having any luck.

  Anyway, with all the attempts that I did to get all the emails of my return, I think that Thunderbird has created new folders and is doing really complicated now. I don't know how to sort this out. I don't know the name of the profile that I have used before, and when I search my computer on the name of the profile, it is 22 000 + items. I'm still not able to get them all restored in Thunderbird.

  Another strange thing is: in the search results for the name of the profile, the items are displayed in the results, and it has an icon Thunderbird next to them and says it's a Document of Thunderbird... but when I double-click on one of them, it will not open in Thunderbird. Nothing happens when I double-click on them. Could this be a problem/conflict version of Thunderbird? I thought my old Thunderbird was updated.

  I don't know where to start to give you a hint how to help. I'm sorry.

  Any ideas?

• I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP. After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.

  Problem reinstalling Windows XP

  I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

  Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.

  Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

• I reinstalled Windows XP Professional SP3 and also formatted my HDD (IDE), but before it displays the loading screen, it shows a BSOD disappear but before I can read it. What is the problem?

  Hello, as I said in my title, I reformatted my IDE HDD and reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP3, and before that it loads, s it just shows a BSOD screen without me being able to read. Anyone know the problem?

  Microsoft? Why always SP3 Gets the problem? -__-

  Did disable the auto reboot not to reveal information of BSOD?

  On your SkyDrive, you must click on share, change permissions and adjust the slider upward, so that we can him.

  In fact, you have an XP with SP3 installation CD?  It's kind of a miracle here.

  Where did you buy that and when you bought it (just curious).

  If you need help, enter the XP Recovery Console, just ask.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

• After reinstall Window Vista 32 bit, I can't move the slider to increase the resolution of the screen, how do I solve this problem

  My Dell Inspiron 530 sudenlly crashed, I could not start it. I called for the support of a group that I paid for. Technicians helped me start the PC, but they could not fix the screen resolution: in the display settings window, the cursor is on the left end of the bar, the low position and could not be moved. The technician finally asked me to save the folders files and reinstall Windows Vista. After the relocation, the screen resolution problem persisted. Technicians then reformat the HD, then reinstall Windows Vista again, the result was the same. We cannot change the resolution. Help, please.

• Well reinstall Windows Vista - MAJOR problem...

  For not giving all my cleaning stuff correctly a system, but I need help with something that makes me really mad.  It's about Vista and something weird with the file system.

  I service computers to save his life, im pretty well informed and have tried many ways to solve this problem.  I do NOT consider formatting and reinstallation of a viable option.  How I reinstall Windows normally from the beginning is the same...

  FOR XP:

  Demarrer start from a NTFS disk, rename all the critical road as folders... Windows, Program Files, Documents and settings, System Volume INformation, etc...  Delete all files in root folder and fresh install of Windows.  Beautiful... works great... never lose anyones information.

  ON VISTA:

  Same steps, but without worrying if I boot from Vista dvd to access NTFS, or my special disk to access NTFS as I've used for years, the problem is that...

  I can rename Windows, Program Files, and the program data of the road after a bit of a hassle.

  I can rename users! Users and it sticks until I have install Vista and then I have a blue users and a black use.   I don't want 2 of them.  I tried a clean install of Vista without format.   If I format everything is normal.

  I WANT all THE PERMISSIONS of FILES on disk INTEGER stripped of their security.  Vista has mucked up with permissions no matter what Im tired.   I stick the drive in another machine from Vista or XP, PROPERTY of FLYING another machine - it purrs the long hours just to not do anything sometimes.  I try to rename some files - access denied.   Desintination folder refused or regardless of the battery without end of the errors I get doing something simple as rename a stack of records to back/NTFS.   I don't want users crowded with all _ like...------.

  Record users:
  Dave
  Dave.000
  Dave.Windows.000
  By default
  Default.000
  Default.Windows.000
  etc etc.

  and all _ that happens out there.

  Very simple.  I want a tool that strips off EACH single authorisation makes all readable as if it were a normal readable by ALL leaders.

  Take possession does not really work in Vista.
  ICLACLS or something else that was I used the other day has allowed me to rename them, but when I reinstalled Vista it their fame users and installed over the old virus plagued by files.

  So... my questions are... How can I rename all files from the road and install fresh Vista without having to save the entire disk (from the hundreds of concerts) somewhere else, the format and copy this whole mess back.

  (A) rename all files with no hassle of permission
  (B) fully to support all permissions like how XP used to work
  (C) give me a utility that removes a complete player all it's permissions and security (best solution) or at least streams how XP has worked since I never once has problems with XP that convert all files.
  (D) someone explain to me how an operating system is unable to copy same files correctly? (related to Vista) - it is slow and is not always copy everything - once more... back to permissions.  What you did MS smear filesystem up to SO bad. ???

  Hey PerryCS,

  I think that the terminology that Michael used is to start, but is the correct terminology for Vista.  XP has a "repair installation" option  Vista has not just as an installation option more.  How to imitate the old XP Repair install in Vista is known as an Inplace Upgrade Installation.  So you see the upgrade is a rather unfortunate misnomer.  Inplace upgrade as installation functions where Vista reinstall it s self, writing and replace system files, so that theoretically do not damage or over writing files of program or personal data.  I hope my explanation makes sense.

  Good luck and happy Locutys calculation of Borg

• Frequent hard drive exchanges are causing problems for activation of Windows 7?

  I am new to Windows 7.    I frequently switch (turn) the hard drive on my system - say every 6 weeks or more.  I use the same set of 2-3 disks and restore my system from a disk image every time when I exchange them.   Change the drive often happens to cause problems with the activation of Windows 7?   Thank you.

  Hi Lone Star,

  Change the hard drive on systems not prompt swap you for activation but after that the HDD on another system if the operating system is validated activation would be asked that the physical address of machines would have changed.

• Need to format the drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. I could use the same product key

  Original title: Windows 7

  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1 that have previously been installed then bought my laptop. Product key number is fixed under the laptop.

  I need to format my drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. can I use the same product key and where can I get the installer of Windows 7 because I don't have it.

  Thank you

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
