User changed by mistake - lockout system

A few days ago, my TI-illiterate husband was curious and clicked on new user, then shut down the system. He did not realize the result of his action until I've was locked and questioned its most recent activities, last night - its use is limited to Freecell (game).

Unable to find a way to access the system, our computer is useless. Can someone tell me how allows users of HP in? Otherwise, I will lose everything and be forced to buy a new system.

Thank you!

Hello

You can try the following.

Shut down the PC.

Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.

When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Pick a point to restore at least 24 hours before the problem occurred, and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

Kind regards

  • Change of LabVIEW VeriStand system definition

    Hi all

    I have a project where I need to be able to change the drawn in LabVIEW VeriStand system definition.  The project will use a LabVIEW user interface and I would like to be able to programmatically change of LabVIEW VeriStand system maps (unloading and loading mapping .txt files via LabVIEW System).

    It seems that the SystemDefinitionAPI contains the methods I need, but I can't figure out how to get a reference for VeriStand.SystemDefinitionAPI

    If there is an easier or simpler way to do this, please let me know.  Thanks for your help,

    Phil

    A bit more info that may be useful...

    The examples referenced by Jarrod contain a constructor .NET to create a file system definition by giving a name, description, creator, version, etc...  If you double-click on the node in the constructor it will bring up a dialog box that shows all the manufacturers of the SystemDefintion object.  You should see another manufacturer that only requires a string entry "nivssdfFile".  Use this constructor and provide a path to your nivssdf file to open your SysDef existing (instead of creating a new).

    Remember, you should always call the SaveSystemDefinitionFile method when you finish your changes to commit everything on the disc (such as demonstrated in the example).

  • Value change event, be it be programmed to trigger only when the USER changes the value?

    The structure I set up is the following, I have a control in which the user chooses a value when they choose this value, the value change event takes place setting in the device. Then I am bed in unit values and display them in this control via a property node.

    My problem is that whenever I read back a new value in the control, he takes this as a value change event and resets the value within the system, is it possible to make this event don't move when the user changes the value?

    Yes!

    My thoughts are that you use a Value property (signalling) node to display for the control. That will trigger another call to event.

    Use the NO signs of property value node or a local variable.

  • Date and time system continues to change each time the system starts.

    I noticed that the time and date of my home PC gets changed every time the system is booted. The default date is set for Jan. 2008, when in fact it should be July 2014.

    Also, my PC became slow death. I use Windows 7 on 1 GB of RAM, 250 GB PC. I used last my home PC 2 years back, but there has always been someone to use it.

    It shows the OS disk to 7 GB of free, when in fact I never installed or anything unnecessary stored on the disk of BONE; Whatever unnecessary programs were there, I uninstalled them recently, keeping just a few essential ones. After uninstalling, it shows to 7 GB of free, when in fact it should be more than that.

    I use Avast anti-virus, which I think is unnecessary, that its not to protect my PC and as other programs, too, is quite dead slow.

    The system is infected by viruses? Manually, I checked the system for viruses and clean the system of all unnecessary and, program files, but I'm still not sure whether it is a virus or a PC problem.

    I am a COMPUTER analyst, and's just done it 2 days that I use my PC at home. I could format my PC, or where applicable be buy Windows 8 with a new processor.

    Please advise.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello

    You really need a minimum of at least 2GBs of RAM to run Windows 7 well enough.

    As you have only 1 GB of RAM, which seems to be one of the reasons why it is slow.

    Increase the physical RAM or try ReadyBoost:

    Hello

    In Windows 7, the AllUsers folder is not a real file.

    It is a symbolic link that redirects to the C:\ProgramData folder.

    ProgramData is not hidden, by default.

    The correct syntax for the Attrib command would be,

    Thanks again for your help,
    Bob

    Hi Bob

    As Entegy said, you can set the maximum amount of space that system restore is allowed to use.

    The size of each Restore Point will depend on what has changed since the last restore point was created. Only the files that have changed will be saved in each restore point. Each restore point depends on the subsequent restore points.

    These restore points are also used when you select this option to restore a previous Version of a particular file or folder.

    You can also use the latest cleaning disc to remove all but restore point tool. This will immediately release a lot of disk space.

  • I would like to know if the change in the operating system will also change the product ID

    Original title: change of the operating system

    Hello

    I would like to know if the change in the operating system will also change the product ID.

    Please can you me this.

    Hi Agnes,.

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. are you referring to the product key or Product ID?

    2. you try to upgrade to Windows 8.1 with the same product key?

    Product ID is built into the hardware of the machine components. The product key is a 25 character alphanumeric code shown in five groups of five characters each (for example, BCDFG-12345-HJKLM-67890-NPQRS). When you change the operating system, product ID remains the same and not need to change.

    You can reuse the product key in the file product ID for multiple installations of the same version of the operating system. The product key in the product ID file is only used to install Windows.

    The edition of Windows that you are installing must match the product key used to activate Windows. If you use a product key to select a Windows edition, we recommend using the same key to activate Windows, so that the edition you are installing is the same as the edition that you select.

    Work with the keys and product activation
