• Problem with newest flash drive and restoring the system

  Greetings,

  SYSTEM - Windows XP SP3 with browser Firefox 5.0

  I run an anti-virus scan every day on my PC (Avast free 6.0.1023 with the updated definitions).

  Then I downloaded the latest version of the Flash player on your site at www.adobe.com/downloads/ last night but it was not installed.

  Ran a virus on the plug-in installation file and scan scan has reported that he was not able to scan multiple files because they were protected by password in archive - NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE.

  So I deleted the file from archive.

  This morning when I ran an antivirus scan everyday, he pointed out that several protected files in the last system restore point since the installation of Flash player file.

  So I tried to restore from Friday, the previous week, but the restore operation failed.

  Tried two days last month and the month before that; no notice of restore.

  Finally, I shut down the system, restore and rebooted the PC to erase all data in restore file.

  Then restarted system restore and ran the antivirus and all is well again.

  I used restoring the system previously on this computer without any problem.

  Also, I noticed the name of file to Setup plug-in is not the format of the normal name - install_flashplayer10_mssd_aih.exe

  instead of install_flashplayer.exe.

  
  I'm confused, why change a system that works?

  Thank you for your time and your help.

• Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image

  One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error.  I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image.  Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do.  Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk.  I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

• How to back up and restore the system and program files to install new OS

  Hey all,.

  I recently bought a new Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. My old WD 1 TB HARD drive was giving me the end. occasionally, I get the BSOD. In addition, on occasion, when I restart the computer it automatically runs chkdsk program and reported several bad clusters. However the chkdsk program never seems to report the bad clusters, so periodically, when I restart, it runs and bring back them again.

  I would like to the image or to back up all the files on my HARD drive problem, then do a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit (my current operating system) to the new HARD disk, and then restore the clone or image system and program files on the new HARD drive. I don't want to go through the process of reinstall all again, when everything seems to work very well. Given that the image of Win 7 program makes and accurate picture of the HARD drive, then use this program would cause the new installation of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit to be replaced by the restoration of the image. Therefore, if there should be corrupted data under a bad cluster of old HARD drive, that data would not be transferred and my existing problem would be transferred to the new HARD drive.

  On the other hand, if I do a clone of disc, I'm not sure that existing programs would continue to operate on the new HARD drive and would require a new install of each program based on the new installation of the operating system Win 7! I would have then lost my time to make a transfer of program/data files to my newly formatted and freshly installed OS.

  Anyone know of any program (Acronis True Image, Paragon, Norton Ghost, Macrium Reflect, etc) that will allow you to image or clone the program and data (including the operational needs of the files such as: Win32 system files, files of activation, etc.) so that they will work properly on the new installation of the operating system?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day.

  Computer was hijacked yesterday with "XP security alert" want to pay me to analysis and clean. Knew it was funny. Managed to get rid of the virus (in appearance) and did a system restore. Since then, have been opening several programs such as anti-virus, security, most of the elements in the Panel of control etc. Always can access internet, but only through IE and Mozilla not.

  copy c:\windows\regedit.exe regedit.com

  ... and click on . Next type:

  Start regedit.com

  ... and click on .

  In the RegEdit program, navigate to the registry:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile\Shell\Open\Command

  In the right pane, double-click the (default) value. Delete the current value data, and then type:

  "%1" %*

  (i.e.: quote-percent-one-quote-space-percent-asterisk)
   
  Close the Regedit utility. Your. EXE files must be start normally now. If the problem persists, or redone surface shortly after this procedure, your computer is still infected. In any event, the execution of full scans with MalwareBytes and your own virus anyti is recommended.

• HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers

  Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?

  Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

  Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
  Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
  Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
  You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

  If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

  It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• I restored the system to today to recover photos from my camera, I downloaded and the system restore hase not put back them in my photo gallery - why?

  I restored my system to today to get some photos, but the file did not appear - how recover them - I didn't do a back-up

  Hello

  "I restored the system to today."

  What do you mean by that?

  You use the system restore to put the settings of the computer to an earlier Date, doesn't not to hand over to today.

  System restore only "puts away" remove photos.

  It has nothing to do with the data files.

  And if you mean the system recovery to factory (like new) settings, which erases the hard drive clean of everything.
