• How to remove bloatware of envy dv6 Windows 8

  Product name: Envy dv6

  OS: 8 64-bit Windows

  Error message: no

  Changes: No, just open the laptop

  Problem:

  What I try to do is simple:

  I recently bought a new laptop for my girlfriend, but was embarrassed to find that I could not remove all the bloatware that was installed with it (snapfish, games Wildtanget, HP +, HP Games, MUCH more).

  I read a ton of forums, tutorials and tutorials on removing bloatware from what I thought was Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, ect.  I found no usable information.

  I went to uninstall programs in Control Panel System. Frustrating although applications such as snapfish, HP + and HP Games, for example were not on the list of programs.

  I've restored the machine twice now and have found no change in the programs. The list of programs is unchanged. The laptop came with disks of recovery, and from what I've read, that they would also have the bloatware on them.

  How to remove these applications?

  Most new laptops have an option called Image minimized in the Recovery Manager.This recovery HP only reinstalls Windows and important drivers/software. Have you seen such an option?

  BTW, HP Recovery Manager also offers the possibility to burn recovery discs.

• Is it ok to remove the old Windows updates as I have many of them take a lot of disk space?

  I have several updates of microsoft for a few years. I am auto update, but all the old updates are still there. Is it necessary to keep or to delete to free up space. I get warnings that the computer is low on virtual memory.

  original title: is it OK to remove the old windows updates as I have many of them taking place?

  Virtual memory is used only when your physical memory has been exhausted.  This happens usually either when you have not restarted recently, or when you have too many programs running at the same time.  I suggest you reboot at least once a week and if it continues to happen, a purchase more RAM.

• When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

  Original title: rundll.exe error

  I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

  When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

  Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.

  Any help would be popular!

• Need to recover a file deleted by Windows Disk Protection

  Yesterday, I created an important file on a computer that has Windows Disk Protection enabled on drive C: (I wasn't aware of this). The computer, and then deleted everything is new on the C: drive, as well as my file. Since then, the computer has been restarted several times and I think that Windows Disk Protection was turned off to install a program, then turned back on, then the cache file has been removed.

  I know it's probably a plight, but is it possible to retrieve the file?

  First make sure you recycle bin to see if it is there - if so just restore and you're in business.

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if this does not work the chances of recovery are very slim, but you can try other products if you want - it is up to you)

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

  Administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue
  d. in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk/r X:

  Note: in this command, X: is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check.

  a. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.
  b. close all applications and restart the computer.

  After the computer restarts, repeat steps a through d for the other volume and then check if the disk cleanup works.

  Important: When running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found, all available on which data may be lost

• Then Toshiba send me a new windows disk?

  I brought my laptop for Christmas, he came with a windows disk (they can be on at the bottom of the box, I'll check when I get home) but came pre-loaded with Windows Vista.
  I have a few XP discs but I don't want to go back to XP now.
  So, if I don't have a disc, is it possible to send off for one?

  I want to format due to orders does not and mutiple errors on start up.
  This and it has been incredibly slow. I tried to search for viruses with McAffe and AVG, as well as appropriate Norton and it will not find anything at all, despite the obvious sighs.

  Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't tell...

  Who and what Set Up Utility?
  Can I use it? When I start my laptop, it's by "menu boot entry.

  Hello

  > So, if I don't have a disc, is it possible to send off for one?
  I put t know what laptop you have, but I guess that your laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery.
  This allows you to recover the laptop without using any disk recovery.

  Of course, there is an option to create an own recovery DVDs. You read operating instructions!

  From my experience, you could use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  Good bye

• New hard drive. Do I need windows disk?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop and recently the hard drive has failed...

  It was running windows 7 home basic 64-bit and did not come with recovery disks.

  im going to buy a new hard drive to replace soon and I was wondering what discs do I have to get my system running again?

  A member of the family has the same exact computer and I made a recovery disk of the Panel out of it. can I use this disc to install windows or anything? I don't really want to buy hp disc because I don't want any additional programs but if I wrong choose on a windows disk $7,100.

  Yes, you need a Windows install disc. However, there may be a way to restore from the image of the system of the other computer you have, that you say is the same. I'll get back to you on how to do it later.

  You can also use the restore disc, you created from this computer.  If it is exactly the same.  I'm not sure of the legality of it, but...

• Difference between software malicious removal tool and Windows Defender

  What is the difference between the difference between software malware removal tool and Windows Defender?

  Windows Defender is a program that you install on your computer.  It runs automatically and continuously, prevention of new infections of spyware and the removal of the 'old'.

  Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool is not installed and does not work automatically.  You can run it manually to remove specific malicious software it is seeking.

• I want to remove pre-installed windows 8 and want to install windows xp in hp 6 but idont know how to install

  I want to remove pre-installed windows 8 and want to install windows xp in hp 6 but idont know how to install

  Hello

  First thing to do is to go to the HP website and see if the XP drivers are available for your model of HP.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  If there is no XP drivers, XP does not work for you.

  If the XP drivers are available, looking for a place to buy XP, which is a terrible thing to do as Microsoft did not sell XP for many years.

  You run the very serious risk of buying pirated XP software from anywhere on the Net.

  Stay with your preinstalled Windows 8.

  See you soon.

• Windows Disk Manager XP SP3 sees no no new hard drive

  I added a new slave SATA drive.
  The BIOS recognizes the drive.

  Connected to the computer as the local administrator.
  Manager displays the drive.
  Windows Explorer shows the drive.  When I click on the drive, the system responds with "access denied."

  Question: The Windows DISK management does not display the drive.  That's why I'm unable to format the drive.  Help!

  I swapped the drives and tried another new hard drive.  Still having the same problem.  Is there a registry setting?  or something that prevents this?

  include both, generally, in "Advanced chipset" nec IDE SATA &, if cela of

  I know more obvious as security and updates, drivers, hardware support - would be good to have a list that is known. mainly on the basis of the company.

  Stop using XP in April 2014.

  Although I know that some companies still using Windows 2000, so...

  You're not real specific-, but the basic answer to your question is to find a list of the updates through the catalogue and download/save to some media.  Integrate as much as possible in support of installation that you plan to use after the date of 'dead' of the then 13 year operating system and several.

  Drivers are not the responsibility of Microsoft unless it happens to be Microsoft hardware.  Go through the manufacturer (and it is possble the manufacturer will be * no * drivers for older operating systems supply - like XP.)
