When Windows XP does not store my background picture to screen?
What I wonder about has been taken with a cell phone camera and installed by my wife months ago. I would use a copy of this picture on my other computer Windows XP, because I lost the original. So where can I find it and could you please be specific and also please do not ask me to read long stuff to a site to know if this could be done for me.
Thank you!

It might be in many different places. Just do a search on the file
name and you'll find it.

Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen error 2203
original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!
Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.
So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!
"I tried to do the second option, because the first really helped."

Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
See you soon.

Hey Sparky9404
You can try a system restore and a layout of a disc repair service
1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Windows Vista
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
If that does not read this information
the link below is how to download and get a vista disk startup repair, which you can start from the
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
Here's how to use startup repair system restore command prompt, etc. to bleepingcomputers link below
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
to boot from the dvd drive to be able to you will see a way to get into the bios Setup at the bottom of the screen or command menu start
It would be F2 or delete etc to enter the BIOS or F12 etc. for the start menu
Change boot order it do dvd drive 1st in the boot order
and if all else fails and you need to reinstall vista are the normal methods for computers preinstalled vista portable
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

I removed the B wireless card to install a new Wireless G/N, when I tried to start XP, it would not start. All I get is the screen Intel Inside... what I did wrong and how to make XP to start? No screen BLUE HOWEVER...
It is difficult to say with this little information, but assuming that you opened the computer (which make and model?) to swap wireless adapters, you probably knocked something loose. Reopen the computer and make sure that all cards are well calibrated and that all cables are properly connected.
It is also possible, but less likely - that if you don't take precautions against discharges of static electricity that you fried something. But try to check the cable connections and loose first PCI cards.

so I used Spybot S & D to get rid of a virus on my computer that I thought was spyware. (basically what made the virus was redirect all my research on google for websites ad). After what's happened, he said I had to reboot my computer so I don't, Spybot run and then asked me a bunch of changes and whether to 'allow' or 'ignore' or 'refuse the change. I don't know if this has caused, but I clicked on 'allow' or 'deny change' for many of them, and then neither firefox nor IE would work because both would be would break whenever I tried to use them.
so to remedy THIS problem, I tried to use "System Restore" last week when my laptop was working fine, but the system restore everything screwed up my worst computer. Now XP will not boot even upward, and I get a blue screen with the error "STOP: 0x00000007E (0 x 0000005, 0 xC0000001, 0xF7AA13D4, 0xF7AA1D0) ' and its a cycle with no end of restarting but XP never works.
I tried the safe mode, last good configuration, all these options, known and none got XP to start.
I am so lost on what to do, can anyone help me?
Thanks for all your comments
rdjfdhar,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum. If you can try to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, and then run the following commands.Chkdsk /r
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265
sfc/scannow
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747
If you cannot start mode safe mode with command prompt, then you need to boot from your XP CD recovery console and run these commands. Post back with the results.

Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.
I do a backup of the 'Normal' at the beginning of the month. Then, at the end of the first week, I do a "Differential" backup (using the same "backup job" but change to type "Incremental".)
Well the difference is huge and to study, I see that a lot of files that I don't know that I didn't take the week since the 'Normal' backup have the Archive attribute set.
Is the 'Normal' compensation not the bit mode backup of archive? Another thing would be randomly set the attributes to archive? Is there a ghost in the machine? Inquiring minds want to know.
Hello
Differential backup marks files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is not cleared). This is normal.

Install Windows 7, but Windows Installer does not work.
Recently, I received my upgrade to 7. I have a new Toshiba running Vista 32 bit. When I try to do the upgrade, I can't go past the part where certain software is uninstalled. The Windows Installer does not work. I'm now waiting to upgrade that I can't because of this. I tried every fix I found, but nothing works. I even tried to download and reinstall the installer, but I get an error code indicating that it does not apply to my computer. I would appreciate a response. I can't believe the issues that I'm with a laptop two month old.
