  Hi EddieLopezA,

  ·         Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

  ·         You have antivirus software on your computer?

  This problem may occur if another utility or service, for example a virus check program or a program disk monitoring, locked the partition before you try to run the Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe utility.

  I have some steps that may help you.

  Method 1: I suggest you to turn off all third-party applications and check if you have a similar question.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open the start search box, type services.msc and click OK.

  2. in the Services (Local) list scroll the service concerned (for example auditor of virus or disk monitoring tool).

  3. right click on the service and select Properties.

  4. change the startup type to disabled for all applications 3rd - party that could be the cause of the blocking of Chkdsk problem.

  5. click OK/apply.

  6. restart the computer.

  Method 2: If this does not help, try to change the registry value and restart the computer.

  1. click on the start search box, type regedit.

  2. in the Publisher of the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

  \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session manager

  3 change the Boot entry run of:

  autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: (or other)

  TO:

  autocheck autochk *.

  Note: Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  If you want to edit the registry to fix this I urge you to back up your registry before proceeding.

• Error: "cannot open Volume for Direct access" is displayed when Chkdsk runs at startup

  Original title: Edit/Fix key in my registry

  CHKDSK keeps trying to run during startup, but "cannot open volume...". "If I can solve this problem, I want to put it in the manual, not automatic.      My registry key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rchelp is missing.   Can I remedy this by creating a text file with an REG extension and if so, where can I find the exact measurements to do?  It is the DOS Cmd or in Notepad?

  Hi BarneyBear,

  1 did you allow that chkdsk runs successfully at the start of the system?

  Editing registry is not necessary here. We recommend you to check if the disk check is scheduled.

  This problem can be solved by installing the latest service pack Windows XP.

• Checking file system on C: the type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot open volume for direct access. Windows has finished checking the disk.

  I tried to insert the installation disc, and it relies on the error message that it does not give me an option of chkdsk, or anything else.  When I start from safe mode, the computer hangs on the screen "loading Windows files". Is there something I can do?

  Hello

  You need a DVD Vista Microsoft, not the manufacturer's recovery disk, to have the options of 'working '.

  You can also Boot from it:

• CHKDSK error: cannot open the volume for direct access.

  CHKDSK is on the machine does not work it gives me the error:

  
  Cannot open volume for direct access.
  Autochk cannot run because of an error caused by a recently installed software.
  Use the system restore feature in the control panel to restore the system to a point prior to the installation of the new software package.
  An unspecified error has occurred (766f6c756d652e63 3f1)
  
  
  
  When I run it.

  I also tried a boot following the instructions of clean boot in Microsoft (through the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 URL) and then try to run a CHKDSK command-line command (cmd) prompt in an administrator account and it always gives me error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1

  I also have the CD of Windows 7 available and administrator of the computer. I don't know how to get it to make CHKDSK work correctly at startup
  Thank you

  Hello Mitcherator777,

  You can connect to your computer in normal mode or only in safe mode?

  It would be the best way to run the Chkdsk command:

  1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
  4. check your hard disk for errors:
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Let us know the status of your question.

  Thank you

  Marilyn

  Marilyn,

  This problem has been resolved, I contacted Microsoft directly on the phone in the time of September.
  Question has proved to be a dirty disc. as my 1 year limited manufacturer expired warranty, I have since last week bought a new HDD to solve this problem.
  Please examine this issue.
  Thank you.

  So, in my words, your picture has not changed somehow in Photoshop. There is no sense and doesn't matter the number of ppi. The important numbers are pixels.

  When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on the "Bookmarks" tab on the left side and allow me to click on every page and delete if I had to.  Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, this section is empty.  How can I show him each page once again?

  Hi chrismarks1,

  I think you can be confused bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click on the miniatures Page icon (the one above the bookmarks icon), you can delete a page by clicking on its thumbnail, clicking the delete page (icon of the Recycle Bin). Just make sure that you see the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), you cannot remove the drive pages.

  Best,
