• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.

  Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).

• Inspiron 1525 - problems with image restore factory (need help!)

  Hi all
   
  I have a problem with my Dell Inspiron 1525, I can not solve... so please help me!
   
  My Windows Vista Home Edition crashed while installing an update and now could not start more (I always get this bad blue screen during startup), so I would like to repair my laptop using the Dell factory image.
   
  I'm doing... .with related problems
   
  1. I press F8 during startup, but there is no entry "Dell factory image restore" or something like that (I even tried each one entry but nothing factory imagine restoration).
   
  2. by starting with a Ubuntu live cd, I can see that there is a partition that contains (among other files and folders) that image (:\dell\image\factory.wim) and a Tools folder where there are files imagex.exe and pcrestore.exe
   
  3 one... Using a pen drive usb bootable containing a bootable back version, I Prime the system. I also put in the usb pen, ntfspro.exe in order to read the ntfs partition
  b. I went in D:\Tools and run this command:
  > PCRestore.exe --> but I received an error message indicating that this program cannot be run in dos mode
  c. so I tried this other person (I've read here in the Forum):

  > imagex/apply c:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 c:\ --> but I got the same error as above, it is impossible to run this program in dos mode

   

  4. in addition (and I think it's weird), I tried to boot with the dvd operating system shipped by Dell with the laptop: loading at startup of Windows, but just after the progress bar (green) appears at the bottom of the screen, it blocks showing again this bad blue screen!

   

   

  Now I don't know what I can do!

   

   

  .. .Please help me!

   

  Is there a way to restore the laptop with the Dell factory image?

   

  Thank you

  Orlando

  orlando1,

  Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

  When you press F8 and the menu, choose the option which reads 'Repair your computer' and follow the menu to restore the system.
  

  This utility formats the partition of hard drive to the operating system before you restore the original image. This means data on that partition is deleted and cannot be retrieved.

  If you create a second partition with a third-party utility, Dell Factory Image Restore remains unchanged until the partition of the image is not deleted.

• Problem with Runtime.getRuntime ()! Need help!

  I use the following command for the connected USB media formatting (in the case h: here's the connected media). Format happens correctly, but the problem is to format does not occur until you have completed running the java program.
  I used the following code in a simple java main class and it worked well. But my request is broad and may not terminate / close it to complete the task of format.
  Any ideas?
  
  Process p = Runtime.getRuntime () .exec (new/H: String [] {"cmd.exe", "/ c", "format q /fs:exFAT /v:Test"}); "})

  Execution of format will not move forward unless you program java, after that Runtime.exec () will simulate the playback format output and simulate you required ENTRY for format to continue. This procedure is not really easy, but fortunately the article explains well.
  In pseudo-code, instead of:

  Runtime.exec()
  CodeBehind()
  

  You should:

  Runtime.exec()
  ExtremelyImportantCodeFromTheArticleThatAllowsFormatToCompleteRightAway()
  CodeBehind()
  

  In fact, I don't know why after all the format is successful when the program stops.

  Edit: If java stuff seems too heavy, try a magic command line like:

  Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe", "/c",
       "echo.", "|",                              // Queue an ENTER as input to the 'format' command that follows so that java does not have to do it
       "format", "E:", "/Q", "/fs:exFAT", "/v:KINGSTON",      // The format command...
       "1>", "nul", "2>", "nul"});                    // ...with output suppressed so java does not need to deal with it
  p.waitFor();
  

  All I can say is that above works fine on my computer and I feel it should work on all windows because it does not use any new thing shell.

• connectivity problem with 3 bridges BR350, need help.

  Hello

  Yesterday, I installed a link bridge as follows:

  LAN-br350A (root) - yagi-> 1, 5km <-omni-br350B(nonroot)->0, 5 km<>

  During the test I have experienced the following strange behaviors:

  Ping from A to B seems o.k. for abt 1 or 2 minutes, then no answer for about 3 to 5 minutes then answer OK again...

  the signal strength is about 50%, power 50mW

  This happens both on 5 11 MB, I tried different radio channels, this makes no difference.

  To exclude different subjects, I disabled wep and mac address filters

  The SSID is the same on all 3 br350, software version is 11.21

  the log on A file has the following messages:

  associated with the parent (macaddress)

  lost authentication with parent

  deauthenticating (macaddress), reason not authenticated.

  I need advice that we must then try to solve this problem...

  Lex van der Lugt

  PQR

  [email protected] / * /.

  It is clear from your message, as if you have a nonroot seeks to associate with one another non-root; non-Racines only associate with the roots, unless this has changed.

  I'll try making it a place in the middle of the root, and both ends not root.

  Beyond that, what are your distances between places? If the national regulations in force permit, you can try to bump the power up to 100 MW.

  Also, you can run a test (diagnostic) radio carrier to see if you have interference problems. Do this on each bridge; You must put temporarily in units of root to access this review.

  Good luck.

  I tried the previous suggestions and ran the reset... no change...

  · What happens when you try to play the video file? You get the error message? Yes, error msg - windows media player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  Any further suggestions? I fear, if I should try a codec download from the internet and that you and the measures to be taken.

  ... Any further suggestions? I fear, if I should try a codec download from the internet and that you and the measures to take...

  I would recommend that you download and install K-Lite Codec pack from here.

  
  Download K-Lite Codec Pack
  

  Get either the Standard or complete package to halfway to the bottom of the page. There is a package tailor-made for 64-bit if your Windows 7 is that the flavor. The 64-bit package is not always necessary, as most of the programs are still 32-bit.

• I have Windows Vista, can not connect, is the file 'another user '.

  Hi, I have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

  my computer restarted somehow while I was with her and now the only way I can connect is a folder named "other users". It asks me a username and password but I don't know what it will be. How can I solve this problem?

  Hello

  Try the methods here, but not exactly the same question that they should help to correct yours.

  Your files must be accessible by any ADMIN account in C:\Users if necessary to migrate
  to another account.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk
  Mode has no default password (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

  Some programs such as the updated Google (if you added the toolbar Google, Chrome or Google Earth)
  has been known to cause this problem.
