    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    Thanks, Chris

    Check if there is a Windows.old folder to the root of the hard disk, you can try to recover your personal files from there.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Windows xp Pro chkdsk keeps running over and over again at the start and...

    Running the scan and says no errors found and windows has finished checking the disk and then rest on this screen. I'm unable to boot in a mode, including 3 Safe Mode options. Please help me to help my friend with this problem on his Dell PC.

    Before this error occurring, we run a defragmentation and planned Windows to check the drive for errors.

    Cannot start in safe mode as lists of lines of code system32, then freezes.

    Many Retarts have not helped.

    We have not cahnged anything using F2 or F12 to change Boot & startup menus.

    When XP restarts, it checks the "dirty bit" on each volume (hard disk) to see if a chkdsk needs to be run on the volumes.

    The dirty bit can be defined on a volume if you had a power failure or may have used the power button, had an aborted restart or an abnormal termination.    The only way to clear the bit of impurity on a volume is successfully running chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r).

    If you have a regular chkdsk in the meantime, he'll also want to run when you restart the system.

    When you start in Safe Mode, if one of these conditions are met, XP run the chkdsk command, and during this time, your system will be appear to be stuck, frozen or appear to hang with the last thing on your screen being loading mup.sys - shortly after charges mup.sys is when the chkdsk will start running and the system seems to be stuck.

    This suggests that their system is hung on mup.sys when he's really hung at all - chkdsk runs is because it takes or they old to many people is by planning the chkdsk at the next reboot.

    I don't know what AVG load and will not install AVG to know.

    If your system seems to stop mode without failure and the last thing you see on the screen is mup.sys (or in your case of the stuff AVG), look at the HARD drive access light.

    If the HARD drive is flashing, chances are good that the chkdsk command runs either because it takes or it, you have planned.  In this case, you will need to wait outside and if you use the power button, you could make things worse.

    You will need to wait outside and this could take some time depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do.

    I think that I start your system in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there, so that you can actually see race and what he has to say.  If that chkdsk /r works own (it might take more than one pass), which erases the volume dirty bit.  It will not relieve your a regular chkdsk system, but I would start there.

    Hello

    Choose your version of bits (32-bit or 64-bit) on the link:

    Download the correct ISO file and make your own drive and use the product key located on the COA sticker.

    http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-image-downloads.12325/

    And Neosmart has instructions on how to burn ISO disk images using imgburn:

    http://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/Burning-ISO-images-with-ImgBurn/

    The COA sticker is either on the underside of the laptop or in the battery compartment (you did already).

    By using the downloaded ISO file method can require the Activation of phone.

    If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

  • Windows 7 Pro will not restart if printer on.

    Hello

    When you click Restart, Windows 7 Pro will not reboot with a printer hp (L7680 or C309a) turned on.  The screen remains right on "Starting Windows".  Windows continues to load after that whatever printer is turned on.

    This problem just started.  Never happened before.  I could always click on restart without problem before.

    Any help?

    Hey joe_do,

    I see that you have a problem with the sequence of starting your Windows 7 Pro computer when one of your 2 HP printers are turned on.  How are these 2 printers connected to this PC?

    Looks like that devices can be connected to USB and somehow the computer boot sequence put the emphasis for USB on the internal HARD disk.
