Restart Windows 7

I've recently upgraded to win 10 but found that the pc ran very slowly so I tried to reinstall my previous win 7 but he couldn't find it in my hard drive. Windows 10 even won't work on my laptop now for a reason, so I decided to install a new copy of win 7 but I can not download from microsoft, as says that my product key for win 7 is the pc manufacturer. How can I download a new copy of Windows 7. I use an emachines g640 win 7 64 bit

Thanks Stephen

  • To restart Windows Update popup

    First upward - I do not know where best to leave comments for Microsoft, so I'll post heard so far and if all goes well (if I'm wrong can someone tell me where I should have posted my comments).

    Second - before everyone complains that my post is on Vista and it is a Windows 7 forum - I'm sorry, but trail of links that I followed to get here has been...

    Forums Windows-> (show all forums of Vista)-> Windows Update

    and who brought me here!


    So I have a suggestion on how that dialogue to restart Windows Update should work.

    What I speak, in case I don't get it, is the ToolTip window that appears toward the bottom of the system tray when Windows update has finished installing updates.

    The pop-up you remind that you must restart your PC before the changes take effect and offers two options, restart now or later.

    Which is very annoying and needs fixing, is that development win pop up and more annoyingly, the buttons have their associated shortcut keys.

    Now, this scenario does not every time I get new updates, but today's incident was not the first time, imagine...

    1, I wrote an email, I can type very quickly, so touch at a rate just old.

    2, Windows Update finished installing the latest patches and hot flashes upward a pop-up window which seizes the development.

    3, I had no warning that it was about to happen, and given that the buttons on the pop-up have keyboard shortcuts, it is a lottery as to if I accidentally tap on the shortcut to restart or postpone everything by typing my email.

    As you can probably, today is the reboot!


    Normally, I just curse Microsoft and come back (once my PC was restarted).

    However, seeing that the marketing of TV campaign for the features of Windows 7 some guy randomly in the gym who claims to have submitted an idea to Microsoft and they have implemented, I thought I would try to get my idea included.

    Perhaps this problem has already been fixed in Windows 7 - in which case it was a complete waste of time! (Sorry).


    As I said at the beginning, if anyone knows where I can go to make product suggestions for improvements to Microsoft, please let me know and I'll re-post somewhere else.


    Thank you

    I used restoring the other day, after restoring I was unable to use the closing down or restart windows XP.  The computer would start close but when it came to the closing of the background, it would freeze just up and do not continue closing down. Apparently, I lost part of the closure program during the restoration and had since then reset my restore.  Is there anyway to fix this problem, a microsoft downlod or something.

  • After restarting windows and then no error in config/system is finally windows starts successfully with no problems quo. __

    "windows couldnot start because the following file is missing" c:/windows/system32/config/system.
    This message appears at the first start, but when I press ctrl + Alt + Delete, restart windows and then no error in config/system does finally come windows starts successfully without problem usually. I searched on the internet that all solutions are given if windows XP does not start. But in my case after restart only a single window loads successfully. I'm dubious before using the recovery console.
    Please help everyone,
    no case I found the solution to this particular problem.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else. If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).


    Never, never, never start with the support engineer technical 'expert' who are hired by Microsoft to implement the KB307545.  You are likely to be in for a frustrating waste of time and might just make things worse.

    Always, always, always start with a chkdsk with first error correction.

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.
    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.
    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).
    A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
    If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).
    If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).
    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS
    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:
    Chkdsk /r
    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:
    CHKDSK c: /r
    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.
    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.
    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

  • Pavilion dv6-3150: hang on to restart windows 10

    Hello

    When I upgrade to windows 10 finished, restart windows, but hanging UN restart I press power button to turn off. When I start my laptop startup at black screen shot.

    Why?

    Unfortunately, win now forces the installation of driver updates - even when these update 'break' something!

    Because HP does not have the Win10 drivers for the DV6 series and in many cases, same Win8.1 drivers (which some will work in Win10), you're pretty much stuck problem.

    You must check the version of the current AMD drivers.  If they are newer than the Win10 drivers on the AMD website, which might work is the following:

    (1) download the drivers from the AMD website

    (2) uninstall the current AMD drivers

    (3) install the drivers from the AMD website

    4) updated drivers block in Win10 it does not replace the new video drivers: http://www.howtogeek.com/223864/how-to-uninstall-and-block-updates-and-drivers-on-windows-10/

    Understand, however, that none of these steps can leave you with a non-working display - and if that happens, your only recourse to get a rear DV6 job will be to restore from recovery Win7 HP media.

    Sorry, but DV6 were not designed to work with Win10.

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Hi John McAvoy,.

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) you get an error message?

    I want to clarify if this happens when you start Windows after logging in or before opening a session on windows.

    Method 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the mouse and keyboard > restart the computer and check

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Thanks and greetings

  • In Windows Media Player. Installing the library: an essential part of windows media center is currently not available. Please restart windows media center.__Windows Vista, Home Premium, SP2

    In Windows Media Player. When I try to go to the library of configuration, I always get this error message:

    An essential part of windows media center is not available at this time.  Please restart windows media center.

    If I try to run Media Player directly, it won't start.

    I am running: Windows Vista Premium home edition, SP2

    I tried the admin, sfc/scannow command prompt and got this result:

  • No audio signal from the forced update. Can not restart Windows Point of service endpoint

    I now have 3 unnecessary Windows computers and 2 printers useless because the new drivers do not work.

    Computer 1 forced to W10 and I can take it is no longer online or the display driver is updated and I have a black screen.

    Computer 2: I tried to reinstall W7pro after having lost my sound and which failed, the Microsoft Chat online tech managed to wipe my hard drive clean without even telling me why. I was told to buy a new computer or new version of W7.

    Computer 3, I was able to continue to use W7pro, but the latest pushy killed my sound also and restoration it was not fixed. When I try to restart the Windows Sound service, I get a msg that I lost my privilege to SMA to restart Windows Point of service endpoint. I downloaded the Realtec again an audio driver package cannot be installed at all because of signature problems, one installed apparently, but drivers are not allowed to work my sound card and always the sound W service cannot start.

    I put a ridiculous amount of unpaid time and research between that and I am surprised that Microsoft is getting away with our access to our jobs the deactivation of this way.

    Can someone help me, please?

    Please check if there are graphics cards available in the Device Manager.

    If the device driver is present, try to uninstall and reinstall. If If doesn't work, try updating the drivers.

    You can get in touch with your PC manufacturer for assistance.

    Thank you.

  • get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

    Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

    And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help

    Try this for me:

    Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask

    If this does not work, try this:

    1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.

    2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

    3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.

    4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)

    5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).

    6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.

    7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.

  • PC counters each attempt to fix/repair and finally, the loop to stop/restart windows Explorer.

    So beyond, I'm done with this laptop. He started by run me windows update and the awakening of a BSOD. Now browse those tedious threads, I know that the next thing people want are the dumpfiles. Well, you cannot make them because it won't create dumpfiles. I checked everywhere for them and double-checked to make sure that when I got bsod it is correctly configured to do. It will not create them. So ok, the next thing people say is running scandisk Sfc. Nope, BSOD in the course. Chkdsk? Nope, BSOD. during the. This laptop has a coherent dpc latency problem where every 10-13 seconds it stings really high, distorting the audio. I tried to disable drivers, update drivers, pulling on the battery, and it won't go away. To * with it I say, I can deal with that, besides there is probably a hardware problem, it's an old inspiron 5040. The greatest success in fixing something comes sfc running in safe mode with cmd prompt. He got to 100% and has absolutely nothing more. All this stems from the windows updates failed. But this latest issue is the water drop. Before the windows explore stopped working/restart loop, which prevents me from running damn near all executable on ANY startup mode, I was getting semi-fonctionnalites off safe mode with network. I was inside my damndest to try to solve the problems without paying a penny for the repair (because it's my operating system from windows to the 3rd address I got incredibly frustrated with questions and I'm NOT GOING to sink more money into the purchase/solve this *) but after a month of countless BSOD and failed system restore (BSOD on those too) I decided to say the * with it , it can still be used for browsing with chrome at least, since I found a way to activate the sounds of the internet registry. I had used it for about a month and realized that internet Explorer was causing in fact a kind of conflicts, because all applications requiring an i.e worked incorrectly, display of white windows resources that need to be pulled with knowledge then I tried to reinstall that is and makes the mistake of restarting, forget the automatic Windows Update. Well, I is none of that with this time and tried to turn off the pc before it started with nothing else than a glorified blue screening method. To restart, I got "windows is the restoration of changes", another reboot, then a "Welcome" I get started in the regular office, (not safe mode or anything like that) and he gives me a small white window with "custom settings" on it and literally nothing else. No toolbar, no desktop shortcuts. Wait a few seconds and I get "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and the option to close the window. safemodes boot loop to stop/restart windows Explorer and I can't do anything appear the Task Manager which is pretty useless, because I can't really do anything here except close programs that are not accessible in the first place. Safe mode only I can enter is the one with the command prompt. I don't really know what else to do. Quite happy to take a hammer and break the laptop for parts. There are so many problems with this thing, I doubt that someone will be able to help in any way especially withouth minidumps the BSOD. But if there is something simple that I'm missing for at least the minimum functionality that I was getting out of it until windows update in ruins me, feel free to try to solve the problems. The code the most common bsod I get is 0xf4. I put my money on half of the problem with the hard drive itself and the rest of the question was any other defective hardware. But ill be doomed if I buy another harddrive just to have more questions.
