What happened to my computer... NOTHING WORKS ANYMORE?

I have windows 7 Home Premium on my Dell Studio 1555.   It worked very well without any problem until 2 days ago.  I first noticed a problem when my computer wouldn't let me stop or restart, I went online and asked for help on the Microsoft community forums.  I was told to get a word into the command prompt, I did and my problem to stop/restart has been set.  I used the computer for a few hours, then stop it for the night.   I woke the next morning to find that my computer is full of :(

It won't let me connect to internet it shows not even my wifi network more

My taskbar aero and theme settings have disappeared and now it looks like Windows xp

I go in my security system, click Action Center, the box where it says security Windows Service Center, well it is red and says that it is disabled. I try to turn it on and I get this message "could not start the service center security Windows."

I try to recover the computer to a date where it was working OK, I click on the open system restore

I get this long message "system restore doesn't seem to work on this system.  A Volume Shadow Copy Service component has encountered an unexpected error.  See the same Application log for more information.  (0 x 80042302).

I'm unable to uninstall all of the programs, I tried to type the command sfc also but got the message "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service".  I tried the safe mode, clean restart restart.  I plead therefore here for everyone and everyone's help, please...

I have all my children photos as soon as they are born on the computer, I'm hoping to try n get them on an external hard drive when I receive one in 2 days.

BTW, I typed this on my cell phone...

Hello

It seems that the computer starts in safe mode. When a computer automatically starts in safe mode, there is usually a problem preventing the normal start or there is a specific to the active parameter.

Check out this site to see if the computer is configured to boot in SafeMode to every start.

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/force-Windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-F8-key/

Safe mode starts the computer with only the necessary drivers minimum and programs so if there is a program preventing startup, you can solve the problem by using safe mode. You cannot use safe mode networking connections unless you select Safe mode with network. This is probably the reason why you cannot connect to any network.

If there is a problem preventing startup, you can try the current restart run, System Restore, or save documents and re-install the operating system. If you reinstall the operating system, you will need to use all THE programs installed on the computer, so unless you don't care programs, do not prefer this option. System Restore does not affect the files, but it might affect some programs. It will be to restore your system to an earlier point in time. Startup Repair will work on occasion, so it would not hurt to try. You can also start from the installation disc windows 7 and run the System File Checker.

I highly recommend to back up files on a regular basis in the case of hardware or software failures.

  • Problem with the executable files, nothing works anymore.

    Hi, my name is Richard and I have a problem with my computer.

    None of my executables work more, they all stop responding when I open them up (if they even offer) This includes but is not limited to, my anti-virus and malware... Makes to solve this rather difficult.

    Note: Very important: when my computer starts, (he did not before) it now opens a tab of Google Chrome instantly with the url:

    http://gangnamgame.NET/

    With Korean words... It is clearly a malware problem, I think, but I can't fix it. And she is taken care of my computer because I can't open any program apart from the basics like wordpad and my browser.

    Please, I need help. I'm under W7U.

    I've tried https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/kb/950505, but when I tried to enter "REG IMPORT Exe.reg" nothing happened, just a black for 0.01 seconds and then screen nothing after that.

    Do not restore points having adapted makes things much more difficult. I suggest you try this approach. You need to do it quickly because Windows can replace the backup copy of the files of the register at any time.

    You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some typing prudent . Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. You may reset your password to an earlier value.
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
    4. Select repair when prompted.
    5. Select the command line in the menu.
    6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
    DIR C:\Win*
    Dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I'll call this "Q:" drive
    7 type these commands:
    CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
    CD RegBack
    dir
    8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
    9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
    copy software / y...
    /y copy system...
    /y copy Sam...
    (the two points are part of each order)
    10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

  • What happens if my computer (XP) joined the domain network?

    Hello.  I would like to know a little better on the domain network.  My computer is currently the Working Group on my home network.  I read on the domain network and it is said that

    "If you have a user account on the domain, you can connect to any computer on the domain without needing an account on this computer." (from windows help and support)

    Does that mean exactly?  This means that if my computer joined to the domain, other computers on the same network of domain can access all the files on my computer (the files that I have has not yet implemented to share)? or does this mean that other computers on the domain can connect to my computer as remote desktop? (I do not want that to happen...)

    It seems like a lot that the office uses the domain network and I would like to know how it works.  I read some articles on the field and how to put in place and other things, but I couldn't specify my question.  I appreciate if anyone can help my answer.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Using domain causes a topology around real server (like Windows 2008).

    Companies use this topology because of the size of their system and the need for central control.

    There is no advantage to using such topology for small home network.

    If you use the parameter field and that you do not have a General with your network domain server will not work correctly.

  • What happens when your computer dies and you need to reactivate your applications on a new computer, but you can't turn them off the old computer?

    My computer died recently. I had the right to install applications on two different machines. My new Mac is here and my panic to get back to work by using the CC apps, I reinstalled the on the new machine. Now I'm able to use them on my laptop because I wasn't able to disable out old Mac applications and this is why Adobe think I used my two installs.

    Hello

    You can actually have installed creative cloud and on two computers, signed as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:
    Creative cloud help | Creative cloud desktop.

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

  • After a download desperate 4 days of PSE12 in my Windows Vista computer - nothing works!

    4 days ago, I bought an improved version of the PSE 12 on Adobes web link to replace my job well PSE7 version. Probably the deal more stupid I ever made. 12 PES should have all installation failures and problems in the world. After countless attempts and reading Adobes 'bible' of all kinds of trouble incredible installation 3-4 days, it is to give up. I even had the place running at two attempts, however when closing program never restarted. So if Adobe cannot give the best service or come up with a significant more robust version of PSE to install, I simply conclude, I reverse the deal-give me the money.

    Send me an email are deleted by the moderator >

    Through a period very long chat with one of your adobe experts and the fact that the missing files more should be added by Adobe, seems finally now I can start working with the software pse12.

  • What happens if my external drive "working files" breaks down?

    I use two external drives to save and back up my files.  The files organized, edited the reader of 'work'.  If the drive working breaks down, how can I restore it from the player of "backup" that contains just the original, unmodified, the files placed in folders by date of importation?  I realize that catalogue contains all the changes, but how to return to the Organization?  Anyone using a Raid 1 configuration for two disks mirrored?

    Maybe I don't make myself clear. How to take the 'back-up' disc, containing original photos not published, ordered by date of import and convert the disc format 'work' catalogue in the LR4 will recognize?

    It's great that you think about it now, instead of this disaster.  Play well!

    The "second copy" option in the dialog box import is ideal for temporary backup, while the pictures in your main backup system, but it is a nightmare to restore from.  There are options to rearrange disaster, but it is better to avoid.

    Rather than RAID1, I would suggest looking at backup synchronization software or a file - I love Vice Versa on Windows or Chronosync on Mac - to keep a copy in the mirror of the work unit.  If you use RAID1 and photo gets deleted or damaged, it is immediately deleted/damaged on the second disk RAID, while the file backup/synchronization software would go less often, giving you a chance to recover it.  Many also offer one option 'archive' for deleted photos, moving them to another folder.
