  • Reinstall the Vista SP1

    I recently deleted windows vista important configuration files with antivirus software.

    I'm sure that reinstall Vista SP1 will fix this problem, a similar problem was actually caused by SP1 during its beta testing phase.

    My PC is a HP laptop with a recovery disk, so I can't fix the reader without restoring the State of the plant and the deletion of all personal information.

    SP1 came pre-installed on my PC, so I don't know how to uninstall it.

    I downloaded the Vista SP1 and tried to install it, but it tells me "SP1 is already installed.

    I also tried to install Vista SP2 beta, but installation did not complete.

    How do I uninstall SP1 on my PC so I can reinstall it manually?

    First of all, I need to know, what is the problem that you have after you have removed the configuration with the antivirus files?  If you know the name of the file it would be useful also.  Please follow these steps to make sure that SP1 is still intact on your system

  • Remove the lock on all files and folders...?

    There has been a lot of questions on how to remove locks on folders and files on Windows 7. Those I've read on this site worked and the lock can be removed easily.

    ... However, you cannot do a folder/file at once. I have a lot of items on my desk, and more than half of them have these locks on them. How I removed the locks on all files and folders on my user account. There are only 2 accounts on the computer. Mine and another person. Mine is set to the administrator account, the other is just a standard user. I started by ignoring the locks for months, then I tried to get rid of them by myself, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please, I beg you. If you know of a way, share it!

    If the locks would not constitute an obstacle to operations, why bother?

    And BTW, it; s no need AT ALL to run as an administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7. Forget everything THAT you have learned about XP - Win 7 is much more advanced.

    You realize that the built-in Administyrator account is disabled by default, and if it is possible for him, that may be beyond what you're comfortable with?

    Create another Admin account, call the Admin or Tech or similar and give it a password. Let this accouynt for the elevation of access and privilege of emergency and activate your account for daily use in a Standard user account. Your computer will be safer that way.

    Your first post was unclear: I thought you were trying to install SP1 manually (after downloading the Setup program), not via Windows Update.

    When you reinstalled Windows, the free trial of Norton would have also been reinstalled (but not valid, of course). Do you have (1) uninstall the Norton free trial once again and then (2) download/run the Norton Removal Tool before you (3) reinstalled NOD32? [Yes/No]

    Remember: you can always open a free support incident. See my previous response.

  • Get an "unknown error" so he was trying to make the Vista SP1 and the error code 800F081F

    I am running Vista Ultimate.

    I installed the hotfix for Windows (KB947821). I always get the "Windows has encountered an unknown error" with the code 800F081F.

    I am also having .net Framework questions (why focusing on my updates in the first place, I started). I have "fixed" but was lifting a msg of error at startup:

    > Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click on > continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If > you click on exit, the application closes immediately.

    > There is a parsing of the query error. [The line number of tokens = 2, token line > offset = 27, token s = error]. (I have more error msg if necessary.)

    After you install the hotfix, this error disappeared, but I can't yet download the update of the SP1 for Vista. It is a sine qua non for SP2.

    Help, please! Anyone? 8

    KonfusedKathy,
    I suggest that you do the following:
    Start by putting your system in a clean boot State.
    Run the disk error checking
    Run System File Checker
    Run the System Update tool
    If there are not only found problems that couldn't be fixed by one of them and then try to reinstall SP1.

  • Satellite A300 - after installing the Vista SP1 no longer start

    Hello

    I brought my Satellite A300 friends tonight to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.

    The disc of Windows 7 told me before he could upgrade the Vista would need a service pack 1, so I started to install the service pack and when he went to restart mode then it spent in step 2 restart and all of a sudden the screen went black and a load of a number appeared and it goes no further the system frozed.

    Problem now is that Windows does not start and it will not work in safe mode and I'm afraid that all my friends photo and files are now gone.

    I'm empty!

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Now, what happens if you try to start Windows? You get an error message or something else?

    Normally before you install something like a Service Pack or Windows 7 you must back up all the files first and this must be done at any time normally ;)
    I think you can only recover data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can save the data on another computer.

    After that, you can do a clean Windows 7 or alternative facility. install Vista using Toshiba recovery disc, then Windows 7.

  • How to remove the old Hello msi file

    make the misstake of trying to download the new itunes to message delete old Hello computer msi keep can someone help? PS also tried using itunes help they say that I'm not on the internet

    It really helps to have the full error message.  It's not like if you pay by the letter questions posted in these forums.

    Based on the almost total absence of information in your message, my guess is that your old iTunes installation has become corrupted, or partially deleted, and as a result, you cannot install the new version.

    The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.

    Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility.  Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.

    The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

    Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications:
    1 Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3 Hello
    4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
    5 iTunes
    6 QuickTime

    Open my computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete this files (if present)
    1 iPod
    2 iTunes
    3 QuickTime

    Empty your temp directory:
    Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

    If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
    Tools > Folder Options > view tab
    Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

    Once this file is empty, restart the computer

    [See note above regarding cleanup utility]
    Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
    Select one of the applications mentioned above and click on remove

  • Can I recover the Vista backup specific file types?

    Ok. So I got a little happy relaxation of night last night and accidentally deleted all my music on iTunes, instead of just compensation for the library.

    Fortunately, I made a back-up week last using the Vista Backup Wizard, so I have nothing to lose forever.

    Question is, when I perform backup restore, can I just pick up music or will it also try and retrieve all my photos and documents too? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit and backup to an external HARD disk.

    When you perform the recovery process, you can select what you want - it will give you this option as your use of the procedure.  I don't know if this can be done by file type (I doubt it), but it can be done by selecting the files and/or folders specifically.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Two questions. We wish to remove the Vista and download XP Pro and would not let me explore the "Document and Settings" in the C"" drive.

    Mr President

    Buy a laptop the year last Dell with VISTA. It won't let me partition (including shrinkage etc.). No matter where you go that it denied access, including loading the program. Search function I'm trying to understand for a year yet, I can't find.

    I want to explore the "Document and Settings", but access is denied.

    Finally, I gave up on VISTA now that I bought a XP Pro... Tried to format the drive it did not show me the hard drive.

    Direct booting from cd said that it found no hard drive to load. I am just desperate and sick of this VISTA. Please help to get rid of this OS.

    I'll be eternally grateful to you if you can help me. The newest...

    Read the above about Junction Points in Vista

    Old path

    New path

    \Documents and Settings

    \Users

    Above is the reason why you can not access it!

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

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

    Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

    Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

    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

    Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

    Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  • Inability to see the Vista sp1 when I run WU. / problem driver Sigma Tel.

    Hello

    I have a laptop XPS M1710, the series models MXG061 with Vista SP0. I tried to upgrade to Vista sp1 since its release on 18/03/2008 without success. I read all the MS KB dealing with potential/problems and had the required 3 KB / hotfixes installed before beginning the process.

    The only question I identified was the Sigmatel audio driver. I've updated my driver installed with the newest Dell A02 v.6.10.0.5343 download one and tried WU and could not see Vista sp1. I then tried another pilot that I became aware of via a request mailed to experts-exchange posted by an employee of dell Chris B. was V.6.10.0.5614 A09 still when I tried WU after the installation I was unable to see Vista sp1. Any constructive help on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.


  • How can I remove the UTC Timestamp of files saved by FileHistory?

    Given that I had so many problems with Windows 8.1 on my ASUS PC x202e, I backed up my files with the history of the Windows files on a hard drive external and restored the machine to factory settings, so I could start using Windows 8 again, with which I had no problem.

    I record a lot of audio with a freeware recording studio called Audacity, which saves thousands of audio files for each audio project. Because the history of the files rename all files with the timestamp UTC, Audacity does not recognize these thousands of files, unless I have rename removing the timestamp. I have about 7 audio projects that I need to get - it would take several days of tedious to rename all the files.
    For example, the original file name was:
    e0000d79.au
    On my external hard drive, the file appears as:
    e0000d79 (2013_11_24 01_59_07 UTC) .at
     
    Is it possible to somehow restore these files to their original filename without the stamp? I looked in the file history, but was unable to find an option like that.
    Thank you
    James
    EDIT: I thought that it would take some kind of software that runs a script to do that for me. I found this Powershell script to remove the 8 digits after an underscore in any file name:
    Get-ChildItem *.txt |
    Where {$_.Name -match '_\d{8}\.txt' } |
    Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '_\d{8}'}
    
    
    
    I had to use Powershell to solve a problem with Windows 8.1 not too long ago, but I'm not familiar with how it works. Y at - it a similar script that I could run? For example, by removing everything that comes after that a beginning parenthesis would work, as there are has no parentheses in the names of the files clean I need clean.

    As I had suspected, historical files offers a device to "restore" your files on your PC that will remove the timestamp, so that copy and paste your files from an external retains the time stamp intact. Are there absolutely no need a complex script or something like that.

    When I restored my computer to factory settings awhile back I changed the name of my machine to something again and I had since started a new file history for the files in the restored machine - in other words, two backups, I seem to stop me to use both, as the main screen of the history of the files only presented me an option - historical files of the current computer.
    However, this was not a problem when I discovered that you can visit history of file to restore files from a previous backup feature.
    1. go in Control Panel
    2. under "System and security" click "Save Backup Copies of your files with history files"
    3. click on "Select Drive" on the left
    4. Select the external hard drive. In my case, I had two backups on the same external.
    5. When you click on your drive, the "Select an existing backup" window appears.
    I have selected the history of files from my old computer, find the files that I was sick of having stamps and restored in a new folder on my desktop. Audacity now recognizes my projects again! Not bad actually.
  • How to remove the comments of several files with the Action Wizard, without losing the OCR?

    Hey everybody,

    With the help of Acrobat DC Pro.

    I used Action Wizard previously to remove comments (or more specifically, highlight) documents.  I created a custom command using 'Delete hidden information' and not selected everything but 'delete comments '. However, my files keep losing OCR, I did after I do this.

    I also tried to use the 'Sanitize' tool to delete comments, and it's the same thing.

    Is it possible to automate this process in a way that maintains the OCR?

    Thank you!

  • How can I remove the filename of a file ID a file downloaded?

    Hello

    IM the upload/download of files in my application (apex 4.0), and it works very well, however, the file name that appears has the id of file I attached to it, ex: F1903848613/my_test_file.txt

    IM thinking I need to use some kind of combination to find the position of the ' / ' and then SUBSTR file name, or REPLACE to remove the characters up to and including the ' / '.

    Can someone please advise.

    Thank you very much
    Laura
    find the position of the ' / '.

    InStr() could do, -1 to start from the end of the string, then substr() starting with the next character after the instr() value...

    select substr( 'F1903848613/my_test_file.txt', instr( 'F1903848613/my_test_file.txt','/',-1)+1) from dual;
