  • I bought the Tablet st 2 Dell Latitude with oem windows 8. After a few months. But since August the year last, I am facing problem and my device hung on several occasions.

    Dear Sir, almost a year I bought the Tablet st 2 Dell Latitude with oem windows 8. After a few months, I go to 8.1 and it worked very well. But since August the year last, I am facing problem and my device hung on several occasions. I restored the device, I tried to restored on the plant but no help. Is it possible if I replace win 8 for windows 7 because I feel very uncomfortable.

    Thanks & best regards,

    Hassan jamal Shah

    Please run a check of system files (SFC) & DISM if you're on win 8 or higher

  • I just bought a PC C50 toshiba laptop with windows 10. I would like to ask if someone can tell me if it is easy to remove the Windows OS 10 and restart the laptop with my windows disc 7.

    * Original title: delete windows 10

    Hi, I just bought a PC C50 toshiba laptop with windows 10. Is not not a geek, I would like to ask if someone can tell me

    If it is easy to remove 10 OS and restarting the laptop with my windows disc windows 7, the reason why I want to do is

    because I have aready have a desk top running 7, but it is to the top at the moment and could use the laptop backup

    You must ask your win-10 computer make this question

    They would have made drivers for this machine for win - 7

    If not then no.

    Your only option is to return it and ask for a unit that has win 7 drivers.

  • Windows live mail has simply ceased to send emails (although it seems that emails are sent and are in the sent box, they are not received by the recipient)

    Hi, I use an old address of e-mail fsnet.co.uk and my broadband provider is talktalk.  Only this week just stopped it working and I cannot work out why.

    I get no error at all and it seems that it sends mails and is very well receive emails (apart from when I try to send myself).

    I have windows 8 and had a lot of problems last year, but it has been fine since.

    Help please :-)

    Thank you

    Corresponding to the amount of talktalk users who are faced with problems that just started this week, I suspect they changed something and it would be best to contact them.

  • Windows import video repeatedly stops after a few seconds when you use DV cam to convert and import analog videos

    With the help of a Canon Elura 40 mini DV camera to import my old Video 8 tapes to the .avi format. I followed the instructions from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-analog-video-to-your-computer-by-using-a-DV-camera . However, when I click Start import import will work only for a few seconds and then stops. If I keep restarting after that it stops every time (5 to 10 times), I finally get a message under the controls of cam DV that says "commands does not. Then it will keep the import without problem. I discovered this solution accidentally, but not knowing when it will eventually continue to record does get the departure point. If I import directly using a digital camera 8 this is not the case, but the Video 8 does not play well on the Digital 8.

    Thank you.

  • When I turn on my windows XP computer, I still get to the Windows Advanced options menu. that pressure?

    WINDOWS XP my computer came during a break current, but when I turned it back on it keeps going to the windows advanced option menu? Safe mode button is not do anything or start windows normally. Don't know what to do?

    You can select "Disable automatic restart in the event of system failure" and the next time that the system restarts, you should get the "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD).  This will include a stop code and other diagnostic information that can help people help you here.

    (text below in italics with the permission of L elder)

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text, unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    However, more than likely your system files has been corrupted by the power failure.  Use your genuine Windows XP installation CD to start the Recovery Console:
    (see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/rconsole.htm)

    1. Put the CD into the computer and restart
    2. When the message "press any key to boot from the CD" press a key (if you don't see this message, you will need to enter your BIOS and set the boot order to boot from CD first) (if you don't know how to set up your BIOS, see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm)
    3. Once the files load from the CD, press R to enter the Recovery Console
    4. You can get about choosing an installation; the usual answer is C:\Windows
    5. If you have set a password for the 'Administrator' account, enter it now; the default is blank (no password)

    At the command prompt (C:\Windows >) type the following and press enter

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    If you don't actually have a real Windows XP installation CD, you got nothing to worry about.  Follow the instructions of the elder s below:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Unfortunately, I'll be away from my computer for the next 2 or 3 days... then if the above does not help, and that no one else jumps, have patience.

    If the computer works fine in safe mode without any problem. You can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.
