System Restore won't work, drives available: HP (C :) (Missing)?) Left click on the mouse also stops randomly works, works fine in safe mode.

My computer is upward, slow-running and my mouse will just randomly stop left click. I can switch the service so click right not left click function, but then cannot do the right click function. I had created a restore point before installing a program called Cain and Abel on my computer and it was just a couple of days.

When I tried to do a restore, I got a message saying I needed turn the system restore. Then my computer froze so I restarted it and selected "System Recovery" and tried to do a restore to the point that I had created before that Cain has been installed. I got a message saying that the restoration has failed then I restarted mode without failure. When I restarted in safe mode, both left and right click was working again but I got a message saying that something has been altered (I didn't write it down so you do not know what it was). He says to run CHKDSK, which I did and then the computer seemed to work again.

This is temporary, I lost my left click again and now have swung it for do the right click, left click is supposed to do, but really need to be able to do both types of clicks.

I go in to the restoration of the system, and it says I need to turn it on. When I go into system properties to turn on, the disc I want to activate to says "HP (C :) (Missing)) ' what this means and how do I do the restore point I have created 2 days ago from work?

  • iMac works fine with safe mode only

    iMac works fine in safe mode, but in normal mode, it freezes constantly, the wheel that turns, the freezing of the apps, and when I try to restart, it gets stuck. I have to hard reboot. I tried to reinstall the operating system, which did not help. I have reset the NVRAM, but it has not solved the problem. I came across another post in 2013, with another user who was having a similar problem. There are detailed instructions to run diagnostic tests via terminal and display the results. This seemed to fix the problems of the user, but I don't know what to do with the information it generates. I have an iMac 2009 El Capitan 10.6.11 running. Can someone help me understand what the problem is?

    If you have any type of antivirus, cleaning or ANY other third party maintenance application installed, please find the developers instructions and uninstall. At best, these types of applications are 100% useless and at worst they cause more harm (similar to what you are experiencing) than good.

    If you don't have one of these types of applications installed, run a report of EtreCheckof your system. We then look for obvious problems. Please click on the link, download the application and run the report. Once you have the report, please copy and paste into your response to this post.

    Hello

    If you use Norton, disable Norton inviolable Protection before attempting the restoration of the system.

    «Norton 2006 and subsequent products have a safety feature that prevents outside programs to alter the product Norton.» This security feature can prevent the Windows system restore from changing Norton files, resulting in the "Restoration incomplete" message »

    http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013

    Malware also bothers the system restore.

  • TV connected via the VGA input to HDMI don't get no signal after preparing the Windows message, works fine in safe mode

    Original title: PC to tv connection / VGA to HDMI

    Hello
    I hope someone out there can help. I recently bought a new samsung TV after that my old one failed. My new TV doesn't have a RGB port to connect a VGA cable to so I can use my PC as my old one done, it has HDMI and my PC only output VGA. I bought a VGA Converter HDMI to maplin and when I start my PC the image appears on my TV because it goes through its startup upward. It displays windows prepares, but then the Windows point would open normally, the signal on my TV dies and it does is display the message no signal on the screen. If I start thr PC in safe mode, windows starts very well and the signal does not go down. I use windows 7. Someone knows how to fix?
    Thank you

    It is possible that your computer is trying to send a resolution & frequency to which the TV cannot manage.  I suspect that this is because the image is displayed when starting, but then disappears when Windows takes control - until Windows takes over, the resolution sent will be below.

    You should consult the manual of the TV to its specifications.  Mine, for example, just a a simple table of resolutions & combinations of vertical frequency it can handle.  Then look at the Control Panel, display, change display settings to see what your computer can produce and choose one that fits these two machines.  If the best resolution display settings don't work then go to the next best resolution [or in the setting of 640 x 480 to see which works best].

    Once configured, Windows will display the setting chosen at the television screen every time so you will not have to keep setting up for each session.

    Each time that you connect the TV you can use the Windows key + P key combination to toggle the display.

    I don't know if you want the TV an extended desktop or a single view.  You might find, as I did, that the TV can use a higher resolution output if it is the only view.  I suspect that this is a result of capacity of the computer's display adapter because it has less work to do if there is only one required both display.

    Once you put in place, you may find that control panel display settings, display, change, advanced has useful additional parameters, but you'd probably need to have a good guide to help with your graphics card make any sense of the options available.

    If that is not enough then I suggest that you try to find an online forum for your TV, hoping that someone has done what you are trying to do.

    Good luck

  • 64-bit Vista system restore won't work

    64 bit Vista system restore family premium stops and restarts as it works, but after it restarts, it always says it cannot restore. He does not say why it says just try a different restore point or leave. This problem has existed for a long time. I'm stumped, but then again, I'm not a real computer expert!
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you
    Bobby

    > This problem has existed for a long time.

    It may be too late now since you won't restore b 'old' enough to do the system restore.

    However, it is best to do Safe Mode system restore. You can give it a try.

    How to go in safe mode...
    Restart > immediately and repeatedly tapping the F8 key until you see a black white screen abd > use the up/down down arrow to select Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking, or Safe Mode with command prompt (if applicable)

    You should also try to do a check of the system files. It's to look for corrupt files. He will try to fix it if it is found.

  • System Restore won't work afer receive (0xc0000017) error message at startup

    After installing Secure Backup of Comcast and start the first download of data, my XP Pro SP3 PC started running more and more slow and became insensitive to the point where I had to use the power switch to kill the system. Until I stopped him, Secure Backup never completed and pops up a message saying that he is stopped before the end because he has lost the internet connection. I was using a browser at the time and had no problems to access the internet.

    Upon reboot, I got a message saying that Windows was corrupted and needed a DSKCHK. He appeared to remove some files and then began to start Windows but never had no more away than to show my paper withouit painted all of the icons or taskbar. So it was impossible to do anything. I rebooted and got into safe mode with the idea of uninstalling Secure Backup, but was not allowed to do safe mode. I then tried to do a system restore, safe mode and in the place where you choose the date of the restoration, I can not select (highlight) a date for the restoration.

    Any ideas on how to get out of this mess?

    UPDATE: (25/05/2010)

    After many hours on the phone with a Microsoft technician, we had to do a fresh install of XP on a different partition. Apparently, there was a lot of problems; issue of Tech with Comcast Secure Backup, chkdsk deleted or quarantined dozens of critical files from the XP operating system and for some unknown reason, the partition on my disk was almost full; 1 GB of 20 or more in a few days earlier... !  So everything is fine now, but I now reorganize my partitions and many files in them to make it similar to what existed before the "troubles"...

  • Middle-click + drag the mouse has stopped working

    Hello

    I am running windows 8 on my computer for awhile. Recently appeared a problem with my mouse. When I click the middle button on my mouse (scroll wheel) and drag the mouse to scroll, my computer did a sound (the same sound that you hear when you have a field empty text and you press SPACEBAR back) and nothing else happens.
    What can I do to solve it?
    * note: I tried 2 different mouse, and the same thing happened to both of them.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the help, but I just solved it... It is a software on my computer that prevented me from scroll by clicking the Middle click and dragging the mouse. Thanks again
