• I'm using temporary profile of Microsoft. Updated the question. A rec answer would be moot.

  I've been in the temporary account or a profile of Microsoft for about 2 months.  They are using my computer.  Don't panic!  But I have no way to contact them.

  I need to know what I can do in this mode, specifically out my old Creative sound card and put in my new with its pilots.

  I don't get the message that I'm in a temporary profile immediately.  It comes shortly after.

  There is a balloon in the lower right corner that says... "you have been connected to a temporary".

  View profile.  You can't access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log out.

  Contact your system administrator to correct this.

  I have no two-way communication, so I have no one to ask.  If it is legit, I have no problem.

  I think that a Microsoft Team change apps on the market.  There is a number on the start page

  The market square which has increased until it reached 22.

  I can use the Internet, go to YouTube, MSN, etc. But my file titles exist with nothing in it.

  Please refer to my original post and the submitted answer.

  Thanks for your time.          Randy

  Hi Randall,.

  Do you get "Microsoft temporary profile" when you connect to the account?

  This behavior can occur if the user profile was deleted manually using the command prompt or by using Windows Explorer. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) of the list of profiles in the registry.

  If you get this error message, you can perform the steps.

  I suggest you perform the steps mentioned by "James V replied on 29 January 2013" of a similar discussion.»

  Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• Z575 will not boot from the hard drive or restore DVD

  Need help on a laptop Z575 age of 2 years that immediately after an automatic update of windows, will not start either from the hard disk or restore DVDs (blue screen). Does not start in safe mode, not booting from a rescue of third party DVD. Attempt to start, it will show you the ability to start the Startup Repair tool. Repair shows that it is unable to fix with the detail following problem error messages:
  Signature of the problem 1: 6.1.7600.16385
  Signature of problem 2: 6.1.7600.16385
  Signature of the problem 3: unknown
  Signature of the 4:21200196 problem
  Signature problem 5: auto failover
  Signature of the problem 6:7
  Signature of the 7 problem: bad driver
  OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1

  Normally think that the hard drive has failed or that windows update caused a software problem, but the inability to boot from any restore disk that makes me think that there is another serious problem with the hardware of the laptop.

  Any help would be appreciated. THX

  Additional note: when you try to boot from a restore disc, blue screen, error message:
  Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78DA640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
  It is a hardware failure that cannot be restarted soft.

  I also removed the hard drive and RAM, reinstalled and rebooted, no change.

  Additional note: I was able to access the hard drive with a recovery of old program, focused on the (SpaceFM) ram charged through the DVD player. Hard drive data appears intact. Still does not start from the hard disk or a DVD of windows system.

  Thank you. Rather than buying a 4 GB or more large key USB comes from put this into hard drive replacement. Installed correctly, boots very well now. No other error of the optical drive... and no explanation I can see, but that's it.

  Unless something else pops up we'll just call cela a HARD drive failed after 2 years of common use. Thanks again.

  My previous version of windows (which is already installed on the hard drive) will erase if I boot from a bootable USB. Please help me!

  When you upgrade to 8.1 Windows it will replace your Windows 8.0. The only way I know to have both is to buy a copy of Windows 8.1 and install on another partition or drive.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

• Reformat the hard drive and a clean reinstall of Vista

  Hello
  I was wondering if you could advise me if this is possible.
  I have Vista on a partition, a home machine built dual boot (with XP), who begins to fill. I decided to stop using XP, which

  is sitting on the second partition of the hard drive, and I want to reformat the disk and a partition with Vista on it. Taking into

  mind, I'm not bothered about losing all the data and save nothing, in my opinion, I don't want to lose, can I just reformat the hard disk into a single

  Partition and reinstall Vista? I'm sure that the answer is Yes, but my main concern is to ensure my "serial key" is accepted and that the activation

  process will go smoothly. Read other messages I prefer not to use Vista to reduce the size of the XP partition and prefer to make one

  clean install.
  Your help and feedback will be greatly appreciated.

• I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the

• Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

  I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

  I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
  Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

  Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

  THX

  Hello

  Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
  On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

  I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
  The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

  Good luck

• Satellite M200 Vista shows that the HARD drive is full of 98%

  This problem showed about 2 months ago the system started running slowly and after a bit of research, I went to computer and found he showed that the HARD drive was full of 98%. Then I went and disabled the feature of shadow copy that reached about 3 Gig. After that, the performance was still hurt, so I decided to do a system restore. All reformatted once was good again until a week ago, and the same problem came back once again.

  This laptop is running Vista Home Premium SP1, 120 Gig drive HARD, Kaspersky Anti-virus, it has very limited connection to the Net, as it is mainly used to store and transfer music on an Ipod (20 GB of music).

  Any thoughts? Maybe a hardware failure?

  Thanks in advance.

  Craig.

  Hardware failure is very likely, since you are clearly able to access your hard disk without problem.
  Looks like you are using software that could be gradually fill the hard drive with data, such as a log file, it is difficult to say.
  With the erosion of the space, you might want to periodically check each folder in drive C (right click, properties) and see how it changes for each new session.

  Also clean the temporary files would help such as for:

  "c:\temp".
  "c:\windows\temp".
  "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp.
  erase internet files of Internet Explorer cache / temporary
  deactivation and reactivation then "System Restore" (do this only if you are satisfied with Vista is running stable)

  Hello, I need help, my A33 does not start on a hard drive. It is to see the drive hard in the bios and even by operating the drive when you go to install. But as soon as it will boot to the hard drive, it is just a black screen. It is very strange that you can see the hard drive in the bios and even with a diagnostics disk. I can see, scan it and check it by starting with a diagnostic disk, but when I start the computer, it doesn't do anything.

  Help please!

  Stand by. Your ad is so confused. When you read can you understand what you wrote?

  BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly, no?
  When you use bootable disk for the installation of the OS is properly recognized HDD?
  You can install OS using the original recovery disc or by using the Microsoft installation disc?

  You boot from the disk and choose "Try without Unbuntu and change to your computer"?. Honestly, it looks that you have installed. In addition, using raid with Windows Xp support?

  If you have chosen to 'Try' Unbuntu I recommend now you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console. The problem is not with the hard drive probably, but with the file system.

  Download WIndows Xp Recovery Console from HERE. Save the file to your desktop. You will need to burn the iso image to a blank cd using the same way you did to the image ISO of Unbuntu ImgBurn. Although the instructions below refer to a Windows disk, the disk from the Recovery Console that you create will do the same.

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
    
  2. when the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R.
    
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    
  4. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If you have not set a password for the account admin simply press on enter
    
  5. at the command prompt, type chkdsk/r > press ENTER. (Note: there is a space between the slash and the letter k).
    
  6. at the end of the output of scan type > press ENTER.
    
  7 restart your computer.
