  Hello cdrudd, welcome.

  We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

  1. connect an external drive or flash drive
  2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
  3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
  4 choose "Command Prompt"
  5. type the following command:

  CD c:

  | Come in

  users of CD

  | Come in

  dir

  | Come in

  From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

  copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

  | Come in

  * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

  Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

  copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

  You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.

  Let us know if you have a copy of your user data backup job. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  Thank you!

• XPS 13 (9343) - unable to upgrade to Windows 10 - error 0xC1900101 0 x 30018

  I have a brand new 13 XPS, 9343 model with i7 processor and 512 GB SSD. I'm still within the period of 14 days, and I'm now seriously returning. I've never known such a load of nonsense trying to install any other piece of software.

  So far, and after many attempts, I was completely unable to upgrade to Windows 10. The first thing I did was to install all the Windows updates available for 8.1 (there were 79 of them), and immediately after that I started the saga to install Win10. Nothing else has been done to the laptop - no questionable software or USB devices (except the USB boot if necessary). It is in a State of cleanliness.

  -After the download via Windows Update, the installation procedure is INCREDIBLY slow (for example, it takes 36 HOURS to reach 42% completion - and at this point, it hits the error message). What the heck can he do?

  -J' also tried to create a bootable USB drive via the media creation tool. If I boot from the USB key and perform a "clean" installation, it works perfectly: it takes about 8 minutes total (which highlights how ridiculous the 36 hours). However, because it is a clean installation and not an 'upgrade', I find myself with a non-activated version of Windows 10 and I am asked to pay £99.99, I don't intend to do. I paid for the laptop on the understanding, he would get a FREE upgrade to Win10!

  -J' also tried using the USB key (but not the start of it) to perform the upgrade in place - this strikes the same mistake as Windows Update (and taking so long)

  -J' tried to uninstall all antivirus software, and disable all wireless/bluetooth devices before performing the upgrade - nothing of this aid. Because need me 36 HOURS per attempt, it is really not acceptable to try disabling things randomly in the vain hope that it might work correctly.

  When trying to upgrade (i.e. not), I hit an error message "Windows Setup cannot set up Windows on your hardware" or similar. During the recovery after the failure, tool configuration gives the 0xC1900101 error code 0 x 30018 and says it failed in operation 'FIRST_BOOT', the phase SYSPREP. Just make this error message cost me 36 hours of waiting (welcome to the future!), then it would be really helpful if someone could give me a definitive answer on what makes...

  Help, please! Auuughhh

  Hello world

• Windows 7 Home Premium - 'Upgrade' from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  Two years ago, I used a student contract to purchase an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7. At the time, I chose to download the 32-bit version and used the product key, I got with this version.

  Now, I wish for a clean install and choose the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My PC seems to be ready, the Compatibility Center Windows says there is no problem with hard-ware. However, because I downloaded from the store, I have only a version of the 32-bit client on the spot.

  I'll be able to run a clean install and use the product key that is currently used with my 32-bit Windows 7 with a downloaded version of the 64-bit client? If so, it is legal to download a generic version of the Windows 7 64-bit client considering I have the product key is legitimate? I can't go back into the store to choose a different download for some reason link any.

  I would like to move to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 without having to repurchase all of the operating system, as it is too expensive for me right now.

  Unable to start installing Windows 7 32 bit, you must boot from the disc.

  To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  I am upgrading from 8.53 to 8.54 and have problems with the "Database Wizard" configuration screen in the wizard to change.  I use SQL Server 2012 for the database, change Wizard is running on the new server of 8.54 applications.  I use the following information when defining the configuration screen:

  (3) I used the SQL Server sqlcmd.exe with access code and was able to connect from this machine and run the SQL commands.

  (4) I'm sure I've done the other stuff but don't remember.

  Please let me know if anyone experienced this or has any ideas.  I'm waiting on Oracle to react to the case after I opened it when their suggestion didn't work.

  Thank you

  Ryan

  I ended up working with Oracle Support, that had me do some things... I also did a thing on my own and with these changes, I am able to connect now.  If it does not please let me know... I tried a few other things that I don't think had no effect.

  (1) removed the Environment Variable "PS_SERVER_CFG" - I found in a document oracle that this could cause problems.  I have not set this manually, but Oracle says it is used to run data mover or SQR scripts outside of the process scheduler.  It must have been added as part of the installation so I'll add it again later.  This change did put a slight change to error messages, so it have some effect, but does not solve everything.

  (2) with the upgrade of 8.53 8.54 I had to add a 32-bit ODBC user DSN.  Even if change assistant 8.54 uses 64-bit, it seems that 8.53 connections are still serving who connects via ODBC 32-bit.

  (3) make sure that the paths configured in the wizard to change are not UNC, if they are matched with a drive and configure using readers.

  Good luck.

• VPN access no longer works after upgrade from 10 IOS!  Any input to fix?

  VPN access no longer works after update IOS 10!  With the help of an iPhone 5 or 6, our employees use their hotspot phone to connect to our VPN.  Suddenly, he broke Monday after the upgrade to IOS 10.  We have experienced many versions of IOS, and it has always worked.  Any patch available?

  Hello howlindaug,
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that your employees will no longer be able to connect to your virtual private network with their iPhone 5 or 6 after the upgrade to iOS 10. Sierra Mac OS and iOS 10 delete a VPN profile PPTP connections when a user upgrades from their device. If your VPN is a PPTP connection, you'll want to use one of the options listed in the section below:

  Prepare for removal of PPTP VPN before upgrade you to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra
  

  Alternatives for PPTP VPN connections

  Try one of these other VPN protocols for authentication by user that are safer:

  • L2TP/IPSec
  • IKEv2/IPSec
  • Cisco IPSec
  • VPN SSL clients on the App Store, such as those of AirWatch, Aruba, Check Point, Cisco, F5 Networks, MobileIron, NetMotion, Open VPN, Palo Alto Networks, Pulse Secure and SonicWall

  Best regards.

• Upgrade from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr, now all downloads are not visible at all anywhere

  I just upgraded from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr. At first I noticed that download statusbar has not shown all downloads when they have been downloaded, so I decided to remove it. That has not changed anything because I do not see in tools-> Downloads tab. I tried to play with the browser.download.useJSTransfer and the browser.download.useToolkitUI, I've seen in my search, but they do not help. I also tried to change the options of the private browsing mode, and although I can see that downloads fail, I don't see when they download. I don't know what is happening.

  I have reset the settings of firefox and it seems to be fixed. I could not identify any option that could have been the cause. He could download status bar. I no longer need because new download managers to work pretty well.

  Recently, I upgraded from Fedora 17 to 18 of Fedora. Before the update, Firefox worked perfectly. Now, the arrows have disappeared of the scrollbar on the right. How can I get back them?

  Alternatively, you can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.
