Hello

·         Will there be any changes made before this problem?

Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

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.

Step 2: Check the hard disk for errors.

Follow the steps in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

Note: When you run the disk check, there is a risk of data loss you can take a backup of your files before you run the disk check.

  • Error message "unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator"when you set parental controls for a user account

    Original title: user account with an effort of parental control

    After logging in to my admin account, I created two user accounts for my children, set up parental controls for both that I created, when I tried to set up the third account that he would allow me to activate parental control. It seems that he is trying to load the screen to give me the parental control options then the window disappers and another small window appears saying "cannot make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator. I close the window, and then open the parental controls for other accounts, and they work very well, allows me the chance to change. I deleted the third account several times, making sure to create on behalf of others, just like I did the first two. Still no luck. Can I have only 3 total accounts? My administrator account and standard users 2.

  • After scoring in XP, get message "re - install the suite module in your system 32 directory: Comm. DRV.

    After the signature in the following message appears: re - install the suite module in your system 32 directory: Comm. DRV.  In the banner of the message box appears the following: NTVDM kernel: module system for the 16 bit missing.  When I close this box and open a Web screen, the screen is unstable.  No kids around to solve the problem.

    * original title - don't know how to do the following message; "Re-install the suite module in your system 32 directory: Comm. DRV."

    Well, it could be that Support Engineer experts who are hired by Microsoft do not know how to use Windows SkyDrive...

    Take a look in your c:\windows\system32 folder and see if the comm.drv file is missing.  If is missing, it might have been quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware application.

    If the file is missing, it is up on my SkyDrive, you can download.  Here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    As the comm.drv does not fall into the field of the Protection of Windows file, there is no need to put a copy in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache folder, but you can if you wish.

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called comm when the name of the file should really be called comm.drv (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the files downloaded to the appropriate on your system folder.

  • my daughter received a comp. from a friend that the hard disk has been deleted how to get windows xp back on it

    I downloaded windows xp from mirowsoft up to 6 discs of A which I just it ready for the cd of window xp I don't have.

    Hi cjoyner66,

    Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.

    I hope this helps!

  • Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

    I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

    - or regularise space for the new amount

    - or move the virtual machine (vmdk) to an another partition/HD

    - or to convert monolithic mode to 2 GB split

    What is the best solution?

    Thanks in advance

    It's help me;

    Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

    When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

    Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

    Prerequisites

    Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

    Procedure

    1 right click on computer and select Manage.

    2. double-click on storage.

    3 double-click disk management.

    4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

    5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

    6. close the computer management window

  • Capacity again VMFS is less than the total capacity of all extensions

    I recently created a new VMFS whose total capacity is not displayed. The "storage adapters" show all extensions.

    Total capacity should be well over 4 TB. However, when I look in the 'Storage' view, I see a little more than 3 TB of capacity.

    I just updated this server the latest patches for ESX 3.5 and restarted the problem remains. Any ideas what's happening?

    Hi Michael

    I do know that if I missed something here, but you mentioned in your original post that you expect the data store to be larger than 4 TB, however, looking at the extent you've added, it only amounts to slightly more than 3 to what you did...

    i.e.

    5 = 1.53 TO LUN

    6 = 1.53 TO LUN

    But LUN 7 does not seem to be 1.61 GB!  Is this right?

    Re comments made by RParker on button increase... It is only seen on the vSphere Client VI wersion, not on version 2.5, you use.

    Hops, it is logical, not sure if I got the wrong end of the stick here =)

    I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

    The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

  • How to disable the file hiding (changing options for hard disk does not work)

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me with the following problem:

    -J' need to open a file of 16 GB of content in third party software (Stata) who reads completely in memory.

    -Due to Windows caching file, necessary to get the procedure done about 32 GB cache files and Stata access physical memory.

    -As I have only 24 GB of physical RAM file is read later part of virtual memory, which leads to serious performance problems.

    I unchecked the box 'Enable write on the device cache' to my hard drive. That did not help. Is there a way to disable the Cache during PLAYBACK of files?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!

    Tobi

    The write cache and virtual memory are different. Virtual memory is an extension of the physical memory residing on the HARD disk where Windows is installed. Normally, the virtual memory is about twice the size of the current physical memory. Write cache is an exclusive setting for external hard drives only and has no effect in internal hard drives.

    In your case, please note that full 24GO of RAM will not be allocated to the program. At least 1 GB will be reserved for windows, so the rest of the programs are moved to virtual memory, which means that the HARD drive. It is not recommended to disable virtual memory because it can cause stability problems. In addition, the files are not copied directly in memory, even if they are big. Instead, the parts of the file are available and this area, including the incremental values and material, are stored in the memory. So if all of a sudden, you access an area of the file which is very far away from the previous location, it takes time as the new area, as well as differentials and material value of a few bytes is also copied to the memory. The box of files previously displayed is erased from the memory.

    For performance improvements, you can go for the SSD, RAM with higher clock speed (must be compatible with the motherboard) as processor as well as the upgrade. However, please note that the process of accessing a file even as mentioned previously, but the speed will increase because of the higher bandwidth and the clock frequency.
