Why Vista, appearance settings of the changes in the system of windows by itself?

Whenever I open the Control Panel, I can have a bet to see how I find the appearance of the window: large icons, small icons, details...
The same is true for the main Explorer Windows: sometimes there are "Preview", exactly as I left it the last time I turned on the computer, sometimes others not.
And so on...
I'm afraid that this behavior is not normal, is it?

Incidentally: no, it not there no malware as far as I know (checked with more of a suite antivirus).

Hello

This could be somehow connected to your other problem with blue screen, may or may not be.

It is the resolution of generic issues however Control Panel problems, you might want to focus on the
blue screen in your other thread problem.

A search for all most .cpl files will be in "C:\Windows\System32" However, you can have others. Click
each of them at a time and see if it does not start - if so right-click on it and rename it using cpZ as the extension is is to find. Retry Control Panel - if no joy persevering of all .cpl files. (Note that others are under other files under C:\Windows not should be judged, because they are not active).

Some of them are appwiz.cpl firewall.cpl, desk.cpl, powercfg.cpl, inetcpl.cpl, timedate.cpl and others.

Try these in case the General corruption has a role to play: (Yes you did these)

Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

  • get the 0x400110020000100b error code while making the recovery of the system for windows vista 32 bit.

    I tried to do a system restore on my laptop using the included recovery disks and had this error 0x400110020000100B. The drive looked pretty beaten last week so I ordered a new series. Now, when I got to put disc 2 in (to 80% full) I get the same error.  I called customer service and he took me through the process of F9, nothing works and I also tried the F11 approach that made me not the case.  I'm frustrated because I don't really have the money for a new laptop computer.

    Laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6700.

    Any help would appreciated more than you know.

    Hello:

    See if you can make your own Vista installation disc if you can read the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop.

    Here's how:

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  • Error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery.

    While trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 of the reinstall DVD after you have installed a hard drive again, I got this message: error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery. Tried F10, SHIFT F10 and nothing happened. Then I tried a suggestion of virtual Agent to press F8 to get to advance Boot Options, but this option does not appear! Help!

    For Dell cptrs, you will need to press F12 to access the unique Boot Order Menu(= a temporary setting), little after the Dell logo appears on the desktop. U hv only 5 seconds to do, b4 the cptr will automatically initialize to top with the internal HARD disk.

    ....... F12 is usually used to start the cptr since the DVD player or a plugged in USB-flash drive with a Win 7 install or recovery media.

    To permanently change the boot order, you must similarly press F2 to access the full Boot configuration Menu. The default boot device is the internal HARD drive, but this can be changed to DVD player, USB, disk, network drive, etc. F2 is usually used to start the cptr of an external hard drive(= USB HDD) that contains a bootable Linux operating system.

  • the system shows windows 7 not genuine

    Less than 2 weeks ago, I bought a laptop S12. It works fine but there is a question that bothers me quite. Sometimes (but not always) when I opened a picture using windows photo viewer, an error window appears saying that the copy of windows 7 is not genuine. Then if I followed the link this window provides for the solution, it will ask me to insert the CD of installation of windows 7 that I have no (I found that at least, and S12 notebook is not a driver of cd/dvd-rom in any case). If I ignore the problem, the words "this copy of windows 7 is not genuine...» "appears at the bottom of my office.

    I try to contact Lenovo last night but the gentleman who receives the call just gave me another phone number and asked me to call on weekdays from 09:00 - 19:00. I tried to call between 9 to 09:15 this morning, but no one answered the phone.

    Anyone know how to solve the problem? Thank you and happy new year to all.

    Tison

    I didn't ask, but he asked me if I was a reader of cd/dvd external... and I said that I don't have.  I guess I have to send my laptop for them to reinstall win 7 if he asked. But a key recovery solves the problem anyway.

  • Failure of the system for Windows 8 image backup

    I downloaded Windows 8 a few days ago. I tried to create a system image to an external drive, Western Digital 500 GB (409 GB free) four times and each time after a few minutes a message said that the backup failed. The backup of the recovery Partition seems end OK every time. The failures occurred after a minute or two in the backup of the C: drive of the OS.

    The external hard drive checked OK. The player has already had an image of the system for Windows 7 which was removed before the backup attempt. Here are 2 messages I received as the backup failed. The other 2 were much the same, I think.

    "There was a failure in the preparation of the backup image of any of the volumes in the backup set. (0X807800C).
    The mounted backup volume is inaccessible. Try the operation again. (0X8078004F)."

    "There was a failure in the preparation of the backup image of any of the volumes in the backup set. (0X807800C).
    The specified drive is not found. (0 X 80780081)"

    Below are the 2 files on the external hard drive after the failure. I guess that the first was the complete recovery Partition backup. I don't know much about this sort of thing.

    Anyone have any ideas on the problem? The software only virus on the PC is Windows Defender that came with the operating system.

    Fifth time is a charm, I suppose. I tried saving image system for the fifth time and successfully completed this time. Nothing has changed on my system or readers.

  • On the Protection of the system in Windows 8!

    Hello

    My question is in the protection of the system in Windows 8, I have C and D lit discs! And when you turn on the drive C drive D is also on both at the same time! These drives supposed to be because I was still able to do the restore of the system both off!

    Thank you very much for your help,

    HONEY BEAR 100

    Yes, drive C and drive D are always when the computer is turned on. Drive C is your main drive and D drive is often used by the CD/DVD drive in your computer. The only way to 'turn off' the D drive is by disconnecting the data cable and the power cable on the CD/DVD drive. I have no experience with the system restore.
