  • System Restore Windows 8 has been restoring for almost 2 hours. How long should it take?

    New windows machine 8. Installed AVG anti-virus requiring a reboot. It wouldn't restart. Kept giving me the dpc_watchdog... error. (more & on & above) So I chose to do a system restore to last Friday. I saw him start & I left the room for a while.  He has been restoring for almost 2 hours now. I noticed the "finalizing" file restore less than an hour ago. Is this normal? I have to do something else?

    Hi Marcia,

    I understand that the system restore takes a long time to restore your computer.

    System restore usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the data has changed since the date of the restoration up to the date where the restoration is underway.
    If the computer is blocked, do a hard reset. Press the power button for about 10 seconds. Once the computer shuts down, stop and try again and follow the steps.

    Follow the steps mentioned below and perform a restore of the system from the Windows recovery environment. Check if it helps.

    (a) Insert the disc to install 8 Windows; Click on repair your system.
    (b) click the Advanced Boot Options.
    (c) click Start Windows settings.
    (d) If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    ((e) (f) If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on system restore.
    (f) click about to restore during which the system worked very well.
    (g) click on apply, click OK.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

    After TWO YEARS, someone should be able to give us a step by step, to "reconnect" an external, USB hard drive!  I unplugged and then plugged it, several times, without success.  I seem to have this problem with one of my disks USB, a Toshiba.  Access the drive through files Explorerer, seems to work, even if it is "disconnected". Historical files only has problems. Strange! Could it be the drive itself, or it is plugged in to the USB port?

    I had the same issue this morning and found a solution that worked for me.

    This post helped: Windows - historic community of 8 files windows does not recognize my drive hard iomega

    NOTE:

    -make a backup copy of the files you delete first! (just in case)

    -J' had deleted my old historical records from the files on the ext. HDD, so I lost no data. I can't guarantee that the ancient history of the file will be there if you remove the configuration files, as described below. In my opinion, it shouldn't happen, but since I have not tried, I can't guarantee that.

    After checking my disk for drive errors (none) and update the drivers (not not mandatory), I went to this location of records:

    C:\Users\your user folder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration

    and remove the four files that were on it. Because they determine the configuration of the file history, when I ran the service once again, I could set up my drive as if it had never been used before. I started historic files, and it lets me choose my hard drive and run the backup as it should.

  • My account has been blocked for at least 3 weeks now. What the hell is happening?

    My account has been blocked for at least 3 weeks now. What the hell is happening? After reading all of these posts, it seems that MSN is simply stealing peoples email accounts, and we will never get our private information called back. What is the reason behind this? And why you are taking personal information from people who trusted in MSN for the use of electronic mail? Your customer service is the worse since you offer no support "on-line".

    It is quite the leap in logic.

    You have created a free account and ikely changed the password once or twice over the years you and the password was probably less than 15 characters and did not contain 3 of the four following things: uppercase, lowercase, symbols and numbers.  You can, or maybe not configuration options available for recovery of password as well.

    You think Microsoft is steaing accounts people - for what purpose.  They could probably allow you more easily just keep the accounts and steal your information (which you would hold current through new emails and others) which means it would be more useful for them just let you continue using the free account for stuff probably shouldn't you use a free account for that to take the entire account access on your part and lose this constant influx of new data on * you *.  If you have a logical argument for your accusation, "MSN flies simply email accounts of peoples", I'd love to hear it.

    Just in case where it happens, I could not care mail/Hotmail/Windows Live email, MSN etc.  It would not change the thoughts (see above), Yahoo Mail or another free service accused you of ' steaing your e-mail account "."  It is a free account and if you chose to use as your primary means of communication (knowing you probably receive your provider of Internet services and possibly your work email and could probably get an account to 'pay' for a little money * per year * that woud provide you with a way to recover your account, which could actually be traced back to you.)  As a free account, once someone hacks into what they can change the methods to reset the password so he sends their alternate accounts he their secret answers, it even look like their profile - delete all emails that could lead to a person thinking that it was not their account.  Yes - maybe (* maybe *) someone might come back in a little history (if such a thing exists) and to see that the answers have been changed and revisit the old emails – but it also means that Microsoft maintains backups and others on the free email service they follow hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people.  ;-)

    Anyway - as it was more of a rant (on our two parts, it seems to me) that a real application: there are a few things that I can offer you.

    (1) it is a peer-to-peer forum.  This means that those who respond here are likely than users of the same products that you happen to use and volunteer their time to help others because, just maybe, they have a little more "snap" when it comes to some of what the user lambda or maybe just because they like to help others.

    (2) first, not knowing what you have and that you have not tried, I suggest you read this article and make sure that you have gone through the normal steps to try to recover your lost free email account...
    http://www.itechwhiz.com/2011/04/account-recovery-reset-Windows-Live.html

    (3) in addition, I'm sure someone willpost back on the fact that * this * is not the right place to post on these issues.  This has nothing to do with Windows XP or repair the system and recovery.  You might be running Linux and are still using MSN mail. ;-)  Then...

    I hope you can get the necessary assistance.  I am obliged to tell you that if you are recovering your account - any email service set you on (and even if you pay for it) you should change your password regularly (usually once a year favorite) and make sure that it is a great password (I suggest 15 + characters, and containing 3 4 things I already mentioned) and that configure you each recovery password given to you by option the said account.  Also, if it's something important and not just an email to "undesirable" for the most part - consider paying somehting for this type of e-mail address.  Have a way of tracing the account to you (money trail) is a sure way to recover an account.
