To access the files in the folder of the user of Windows 7 in a partition when Windows 8 running in another?

I currently have a desktop computer that boots double Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit and Windows 8 on separate partitions. How can I access the files on my Windows 7 user account while using Windows 8?

How can I access the files on my Windows 7 user account while using Windows 8?

I guess the intended way is to use libraries (for example if you have to know where the files are located).  However, if you know the path to the profile of your other account the only problem I guess is permissions.

    Office 97 is not compatible with any version of victory, win7 & win8 and is no longer supported (no update security)

    Most of the problems are with outlook, so if you install, custom Setup to not include outlook, for a \Office97 \Program Files (x 86) folder

    If using win7 see this first Ko http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978591 if this applies also to the win8, I cannot say.

    What can I do to access my account and My Documents with all my stuff in it?

    Thank you very much!

    Try to find that the problem with the user account is probably not worth the time it would take. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted, choose to log in to the administrator account. Go to control panel > user accounts. Create a new account here. Name anything at random for now. Now navigate to my computer > C drive open > Documents and Settings folder. Your old user account. Now locate all records containing your files. Copy and paste them in the folder appropriate for the new account. Now delete the old account.  You can now change the name of the new account name you had in the old account. It is probably the best way to fix it.

  • I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?

    I want to access the movie file and continue working on it.  Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.

    I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open.  I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.

    Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!

    Help!

    No guarantee but something you could try...

    There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
    that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
    your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
    Mode for these)

    And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
    Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
    success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.

    Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
    saved the source files to restore the path.

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

  • Need to access the user accounts from previous installations

    I am running Windows XP Pro, and I have installed new software.

    When I have it ran for the first time my PC crashed. Now, whenever I try to load it up it just keeps restarting before you get to the login screen. Safe mode does not help you, or doesn't last known good configuration. There is no recovery point recorded.

    I searched online for help and tried to repair the Windows version by inserting the CD and choose 'Repair', but there is no repair option. He wants me to install a new version of Windows on the partition, which, from what I understand, going to wipe my user accounts. It would be a big problem, as I have a lot of data out there that is very important for me who is not saved. My fault, still backward, etc. No not after the sympathy, just stating the facts!

    I also have Windows XP 64 is installed on a separate partition, and I loaded this up to see if I can see the user account I want to access. I can. But I can't access it because it is password protected, and it just comes up saying 'access denied '.

    So, how do I gain access to this user account? Doing anything to the working version of XP64, either by repairing the other partition inactive?

    All welcome, no matter how much of a long shot it is advice. I'm getting desperate!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Malkeleah,

    I had real problems trying to get Knoppix to work. I downloaded on my laptop, then had to put on a USB key to burn on the PC with Win 64 on (portable DVD player is read-only), but I couldn't do burn. I kept of burning errors using the built-in burner after first unpacking the ISO on the laptop (no support ISO native in Windows XP), or when I tried to install on win 64 the system burning software I got error messages saying: the software wouldn't run as soon as I clicked to install it. And Yes, I checked that I was using the software compatible 64-bit! No idea what it was, the 64-bit version has never really been used, not even well why it is installed.

    In any case, after that much hitting my head on the office followed a couple of pints in pubs, I managed to find another way around this problem, which was to take ownership of the files according to the instructions on the Microsoft Web site:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/308421

    It worked wonderfully for me, and I have been able to support Windows 64-bit, re - install XP 'normal' and then appropriated again under that. 2 files come with errors and would not sell the property, but they were not even remotely important if everything is good. I got literally thousands of other files that flies over without any problems.

    In any case, thank you for taking the time to help me, I'm sure that your method would have worked if I had been able to create a CD (I would have posted off the coast for one if everything else has failed because they will send one in the world for any $2 IIRC), but for someone else who did a search and found my ad the above that I mention is worth a go as an alternative method.

    And no, I didn't have the encrypted files. Just locked the account of some simple password protection.

    Thanks again,

    Chris.

  • Cannot access the calendar from Windows Vista Home Premium all of a sudden... get error message indicating it is disabled... Help, please!

    After 1 year with the help of Windows Calendar on Vista Home Premium, I'm suddenly not able to use it (impossible to add new appointments and stored all appointments have mysteriously disappeared). I get a message saying "You cannot add appointments to a calendar that is disabled" the details of State "access denied." ... How is - it happened 'out of nowhere '? How to activate it? It's very frustrating... I searched the forums and Microsoft google the question. I found some results suggesting to either change the registry or download the fix automatically and manually merge in my registry. I tried both with no result. I have event tried to remove the old calendar and create a new one... still nothing. Any suggestions? Help, please!

    Hello NYintelligentinvestor,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with that.  What type of entry you are trying to add?

    Look at the calendar and on the left side, to half way down you will see a small block that will have something like "NYintelligentivnestor schedule" - there is a small block to the left of this one. To activate the calendar, click on the box to place a check mark in it.

    If there are calendar shown in this block, then go to "file" on the main toolbar and click on "new calendar" - one should then appears in a block with a check mark in the box on the left.
