• Should I apply the different computer names to my Win7 32-bit and 64-bit installations?

  I have Win7 Pro x 64 (64-bit) retail installed on my first hard drive and Win7 Pro x 86 (32 bit) OEM on my second hard drive (such as insurance, in the case that some of my programs and games do not run in Win7 64 bit).  At the beginning of each installation, Win7 request your screen name and the computer name.

  Given that the two Win7s are installed in the same machine, and I have another hard drive as my Backup Master, should I give my Win7s the different computer names?  I think I have to, because I think I run the risk of my backup of 64 - bit crushing my 32-bit backup and my 32-bit crushing my 64-bit support. whenever I run a backup of a BONE followed by another...

  If you have both installed on separate partitions/hard disks, they are considered separate or computers, facilities so yes, both must have unique names.

• Help! Account administrator - account limited - system indicates 'my computer name' listed as the administrator built-in locked out

  I accidentally deleted my domain name (or user name) name of what I thought, it was the administrator account on my computer and have had problems with this terrible OS (Windows XP Home Edition) since then.

  After reading so many different forums and comments everywhere you can imagine, I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Now, I have more administrator access nor can I make changes or install programs and am extremely frustrated.

  My account is now show as a guest, even if all my files are always available. Fortunately, the files were shared (at least this is what HP told me) don't know if I believe that all they said.

  When I fell net user list all users on my computer, there is NO listed administrator account. I see my guest account, another account I have on the system with limited access and four other records that don't make sense. I also tried to access the account of SafeMode several times and still don't see it.

  This is the information that is collected from the command net user:

  The user shows my "name of the guest account; Full name is empty; Comment watch "of the computer or to the domain administrative account"; Active account, '' Yes. '' Membership in a local group, "Administrators"; Membership of a global group, 'none '.

  So, I did a search on the Internet looking for more answers and came across a Web site that lists a likely solution (something new) because I assumed it was a registry problem (HP something else advised, in addition to the OS being corrupt, trying to add the administrator account), bringing my departure to HKEY_Classes_Root to check permissions for each user and possibly add permission for my so-called Administrator and guest account.

  So I went to check the users listed in the registry under HKEY_Classes_Root and find the names of users or groups:

  1. administrators ("my computer name" \Administrator)

  2 creator owner - no

  3 system

  4. the user ('my computer name' \users).

  So I followed the instructions and when it came to the part 'Search now', I clicked on the button to find the user accounts on my computer and found the following:

  Administrator - "my computer name.

  Comments (shows red (X))

  Guests (network)

  Help Wizard (shows red (X))

  Helpservers (network service)

  HP_Owner (interactive logon remotely)

  'Username guest' (service)

  "Another user name" (system)

  and some other user... information irrelevant.

  Now, I have a virus on the "another user name account" that I can't remove nor can I feed my antivirus because of the problem of the Administrator program. I also tried to save my files online and can not do it because I can not install any programs due to... Yes, the question of the administrator.

  Can someone please, please tell me what can be done to fix this? I'm at my wits end. I don't think that it requires my withdrawal, repair and reinstall my BONES together. There have a solution to this problem. And I hope that's not the same answers as I read in so many forums that seem to give the same answer over and over again. Also, I apologize if I look a little rough, but I'm so very frustrated with this XP thing. I had multiple computers and different systems of BONE, which I've NEVER had any problems, but this XP thing is by far the worst I've ever seen in the history of my experiences with many computers.

  Help, please!

  I understand your frustration.  However, one of the hardest parts to try to provide technical support through a forum like this (or by e-mail or phone even) communicates with precision between the problem and the person trying to help. Although your message is long, it raises more questions than it provides information.

  For example:

  I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Windows XP Home Edition, indeed there is a built-in Administrator account, but by default it is only available in Mode without failure.  Somehow, you managed a rename this account in all what you mean by , (b) accessible in normal mode, (c) leave it in the administrator group, but d remove administrative privileges on account of.

  In addition, I don't know where you looked under .  As far as I know, there is nothing on the permissions of the user.  This website has the instructions you followed?

  I suspect that the cause of your problem may be 'the' virus (there may be several) which has infected your computer, rather than what you did to your user account.  If you are able, I suggest to run each of the following free applications:

  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: malwarebytes.org [update after installation]

  SUPERAntiSpyware: superantispyware.com [update after the installation or the use of theportable version , which needs no installation]

  Multi-AV - Instructions here:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

  Although you're probably right, that reinstalling Windows is not necessary, it is the solution of many remote (including those in the forums like this) fall back on when he cannot understand what is happening.  At this point, your best option would be to take your computer to a competent local professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/geeksquad of the place) and let someone actually watch.  Tell them that you do not want to reinstall Windows.

  Ask them if they can do a "repair installation" instead (although this cannot fix things in the case of a serious viral infection).  The difference between a repair facility and a 'clean install' or 'restore factory settings' is that the last two options delete all your data and all the applications you installed since you bought the computer.  A repair installation - if this works as expected - keeps the data and applications.  But it's always a good idea to back up the data before you do anything like that.

• Want to change the computer name of PC/crumbs to PC/CrystalDawn without reformatting or open new account

  Hi all!

  I hope someone can help me with this; I'm trying to change my computer name of PC/crumbs to PC/CrystalDawn without having to reformat or open a new account CrystalDawn and manually migrate thousands of items saved so far, as suggested by another user in this Forums MS 2009 post on my computer:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistaappearance/thread/88d24e9-C944-4DC8-86cd-6057ccfc04a2

  It seems a little silly that I have to go through so much trouble to make such a minor change and back.  If someone could explain if and why it must be so annoyingly difficult just make this small change, perhaps understanding would help me decide if I would go through with the whole rigamarole if it is really necessary.

  I guess my other question will be, is it really necessary?  The people at the other end of files displayed in a portal online or any other place see the ' PC/crumbs' or 'Documents/Crumbs/filename.doc' or do they see just "door"?  I'll keep it like that if it's only visible as of the crumbs in my computer, but since I work online and send files of professional document a lot, a lot, I certainly don't want will be called "crumbs".

  Any help would be appreciated because I don't have the $60,00 by every 10 minutes if I had to call Microsoft itself.

  If you want to rename your computer, here's how: http://www.ehow.com/how_5124750_change-computer-name-vista.html

  However, I think you mean you want to rename your account. You can do, but the record of account will be always called crumbs here:C:\Users and everything related to saving the files. The files will always be completely when you put them and nothing's wrong turn.

  If you download the file to a service such as skydrive, the file is stored on the server of the site and has nothing to do with your computer more (so they'll just see).

  I know it's annoying that you cannot rename the folder of the user himself. Maybe they'll fix it someday...

• How the computer name of the domain?

  I want to know how to create the domain of computer name in the unattendant.xml file.

  Hello

  ImageAssist offers three main options to set the name of the computer. You can define them in the 'Computer name' section of the Unattend XML creator tool interface. The options are:

  1. Invites the user to manually enter a computer name on each client (only for Windows 7 and 8.1 images and only when the no membership not automatically a field);

  2 - having the name Web on each client computer.

  3 create a custom name: this may contain up to 15 characters and include the number of the customer.

  If none of these options suits you, the Configuration service offer other possibilities of customization while deploying the image at the factory. These opportunities vary according to your geographical area. Please contact your local support center local imagery or your Setup Services project manager for more details.

• SSL VPN and access to computers by computer name

  I have a SonicWall TZ 205 running SonicOS Enhanced 5.9.1.0 firmware - 22o. It seems that I have things to work except solve computers by computer name. Since the client SSL VPN Extender I can ping machines, I can reach their actions through \\192.168.1.12\myshare for example but not of \\mycomputername\myshare. I tried enabling NetBIOS settings but still does not. Thoughts please.

  Thank you

  OK so in this case you can resolve names of machine by completing the "Wins servers" section in the same pop-up down (if you have a wins server).

  Often the DNS servers are also the wins servers.

  If you don't have a wins server, then will not work without creating files on each machine that needs to resolve the name of the host computer.

• Unable to resolve the computer names of task force

  My Windows Vista laptop only shows itself as visible in the 'file' network and is unable to connect to other computers manually by typing the name (\\computer-name). My Windows 7 and XP workstations can view each other and the Vista laptop except they can't connect to the laptop (network in inaccessible resource).  All 3 are in the same workgroup and I tried to connect without a firewall as well.  The strange thing is when I try to ping other computers from the laptop, the "host is unreachable" if I ping the computer name, but very good pings if I ping to the IP address. If after the ping of the IP address, I ping the hostname again it pings fine. After that Windows 7, the computer icon visible and accessible and the XP machine is manually (but no icon) for a short period of time. After 5-10 minutes or I stop/standby host names can be resolved again and I have to start with ping them.

  I have no idea why, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled the network card driver and it fixed the problem.

• Difference in the case of computer name prevents file sharing?

  The Vista computer name is tiny, but in traffic on the network.  Could it prevent sharing of files between Vista and Win 7 computer?  Computer Vista won't let me change his name under "Settings of domain name and the computer working group", and I can't figure out how to change it in the network settings.

  Computer names are not case sensitive.  It is indifferent whether they are upper case, lower case or a combination. Boulder computer Maven
