Win 7 - Windows XP Mode - command prompt window size

I just bought a Win 7 Professional machine and downloaded the Windows XP Mode so that I could run programs (BACK) more elders (such as WP 5.1).  Works very well.  With the help of my XP Pro (and more) older machines, pressing 'Alt-Enter' would give me a full screen.  This does not work with Windows XP Mode.  Tried it with the right button on the label of the command line, even if the option is there to provide a 'full screen', all that appears is the half left.  The right margin cannot be moved.  Then, at the opening of WP, the lower margin is pulled up to do, I guess, "proportional".  I spent a lot of money on this machine I think could use XP Mode on a correct XP machine, but if I can't get a full screen, I will be MASSIVELY disappointed.  No help available?

    Quick description: experienced difficulty trying to reformat a HD problem. It has been suggested that I have download the diagnosis of the manufacturer. Did. Restarted the computer as required to run the new program. After reboot, no USB port work Windows. Considering that all my USB inputs, it is extremely annoying. Input devices still work on other computers and still work during the start upward (before windows), also does not open in safe mode with the command prompt.

    I tried to reformat a LaCie HD that was previously used for a Mac for PC usage. Gave me a code 43 error and a problem code: 0000002B. Had a bad"block" in the HD somewhere read that I should try to use the manufacturer diagnostic tools to check the HD on.» Downloaded the "LaCie Update Tool" and installed it. It took a reboot. After the reboot, any USB devices worked. (Will begin another thread on the HD as soon as I have this problem.)

    Tried to restart in Mode without failure. Then the Safe Mode with the command of the DVD prompt. (However, I'm not 100% sure that I'm loading from the DVD, I couldn't find a good answer on how to do something so basic.) Always seems to load in the window 7 - always end upwards the newspaper account on screen - certainly no command prompt.

    The keyboard and mouse work on other systems and the keyboard works fine before the Windows 7 screen (the selection of mode that starts in) so I'm pretty sure that it is a Windows 7 problem. Can't really get in the error codes that I can't enter anything now or move the cursor at all. (I'll try to borrow a non-USB keyboard and mouse).

    After a reboot when it asks me what I want to start the computer in safe mode or normal windows 7, loading the drivers, it stops at:

    \windows\system32\DRIVERS\CLASSPNP. SYS

    I don't know if this is normal or the system stuck.

    I tried a manual reset of the motherboard and deleted manually the CMOS on the motherboard did not help - but don't expect really.

    I think I need to run a disk check / fix from the command prompt, but I can't even at the command prompt to the top.

    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer, a lot of satisfaction in advance.

    My system:

    Windows 7 64 bit

    ADM Phenom 955 Black Edition Quad

    ASUS 890FXA-UD5

    Microsoft USB wireless keyboard and mouse

    Less relevant stuff: ADATA DDR3 1600 G XPG 2 X 2 GB, Sapphire Radeon 4670 1 GB, Western Digital Caviar Black 640 GB HD, ASUS DVD/CD drive (DRW 24B1st) Corsair TX 750 W

    The Repair Mode command prompt supports USB devices. Here is how you get there:

    1. put your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2 start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. press a button if you are prompted to start from the DVD.
    4. Select repair when prompted.
    5. Select the keyboard language when you are prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select command prompt.
    In step 2, you can also use the Windows 7 installation DVD. The subsequent steps are similar to those above.

    The process described above is independent of everything that is on your hard drive. If your USB devices still do not work then you probably have a motherboard problem. If it is a desktop computer then you could by a 4 port USB card.

    If you get an account and password for the boot process then you dΘmarrez not from the CD/DVD. I've seen a number of messages in which people reported that they were unable to boot from the CD/DVD drive. Here are the most common reasons for these failures:
    -L' poster neglected the prompt to press a key to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    -The CD/DVD boot was not a boot disk or was damaged. Use it on another machine has confirmed this.
    -Some BIOS setting was incorrect. Start with some other boot CD/DVD (for example here: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/) confirmed it.
    -The CD/DVD drive has been damaged or is unable to boot from a boot CD or DVD.
    -The machine has a hardware problem (for example, a motherboard problem) which prevents start in any mode.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this post very informative, excellent. Without the machine test myself that I can't be sure, but based on the age of the computer and what you wrote I suspect for lack of material. It could be something simple like the hard drive or RAM or something more serious like the motherboard. I wouldn't recommend replacing any material on such an old laptop.

    As long as the hard disk has been physically, you can recover your data easily. If the hard drive has failed, then you will need to send the drive to a professional drive savers data recovery company. It is quite expensive ($500-3700), but they can usually recover your data. Some insurance policies cover also, professional data recovery in order to check with yours. But let's be optimistic. ;-)

    IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company.

    I'll give you the information on how to test the hard drive to see if it's good physically and how to recover data when you can't in Windows but in doing these things requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself the best and that it would be better to take the laptop to a competent local professional. If you do this, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues.

    A. test equipment

    Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    http://www.ImgBurn.com

    http://www.Seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/SeaTools/seatooldreg
    http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. You will probably need to change the boot order. Your Dell can give you a temporary boot menu if you press F12 as the computer starts. If so, use your arrow key to select the CD drive. Otherwise, press F2 to enter in Setup (BIOS) and change the order of boot on the CD drive first. If the disk fails all physical tests, it must be replaced. Although readers of the laptop cost around $60, you should really consider if it is to put money in such an old machine. You can replace the disk, but the laptop is definitely at the end of its normal life and something else is doomed to failure.

    There is information about the RAM test and other materials here:

    B. retrieve data detach a healthy disk when you are unable to Windows

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd.

    2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB stick with a capacity to hold your data OR an external USB hard disk formatted FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  • How can I run CHKDSK /F on a blue screen on Windows XP? I can not at all to a command prompt.

    I accidentally shut down my computer for an update.  Now I can only get a blue screen with a message saying that a problem has been detected and I need to disable or uninstall any anti-virus, backup utilities or disk defragmentation.  He told me to check my hard drive configuration and to search for updated drivers.  Then it is said to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  The technical information is: 0 x 00000024 (0 x 00190203, 0x8638c6c8, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000).  I can't run Windows in safe mode, I can't seem to run in its final configuration, nor can I get it to go to a command prompt - it just goes back to the blue screen.  I also tried to put in my XP disc that came with the computer, and it helps not at all either.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers forum still does not prompt for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    I think I'm about to lose hope on this fantastic.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    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.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    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/

    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.

    You can use the Safe Mode Administrator account only under certain circumstances without password. If this does not work for you, then you do this:

    1. Use your system repair CD to start the machine in Repair Mode.
    2. Use system restore to set the machine to a point when the password is remembered worked.
    3. Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

  • Execution of multiple lines of command at the command prompt (windows)

    Hello

    I'm vascular using the command prompt in the windows to try to send a command to the microcontroller that is connected through TCP connection.

    I am able to use the normal cmd.exe to send the command but I am unable to send the command all successfully using labview.

    The Vi. I use the exec.vi system found in the labview connectivity section.

    Basically, I want to send is 'telnet A1' motion in the cmd.exe to establish a connection to the microcontroller, followed by "For A1 100 GO," which will be performed by the microcontroller to do what is necessary. But currently, the problem is that I can only establish a connection using the exec.vi system but can't send the second part of the message 'for A1 100 GB".

    My command line, I tried typing is cme.exe /K telnet A1 & for A1 100 GB. It seems that labview is only able to run the first part of the command. Y at - there no alternatives?

    Thank you for all your help.

    I suspect that there are problems of synchronization with this code. Forst, you should clean it to the top because it is very difficult to follow. Cables are hidden under objects, this is a lot bigger than a view type and the code is usually very disorganized. I also suggest that you look at using a state machine, but also a structure of the event to intercept the user interface events such as the Start button.
