    Thank you for all the time and effort that you put in trying to help me with my laptop PC problem.  I think that all the trouble which resulted from a faulty AVG!

    Run the SFC system several times. Click Start, click all programs, and then accessories. Right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. Type or copy sfc/scannow then press ENTER. If it finds errors, but cannot fix try a couple of times again. If it still does not work, then restart.

  • Media files went after login (preparing your desktop)

    On our desktop, we have important documents and family photos that were just lost today when we need to connect top and we got the message preparing your desktop. Now every time that connect us to that account, it gives this message. Wallpaper has disappeared, and the documents and a multitude of images/pretty much everything we did. The programs are always there. Is it possible to recover these lost files?

    "Preparing your desktop" indicates that the connection is considered to be a completely new user with his own user profile. Normally, this happens because the user profile is corrupted and cannot be loaded, it is rarely individual files, but is instead the hive of the registry of the user.

    When this happens, Windows creates a temporary user profile which is deleted when you close the session, but if nothing is done to solve the problem creates another temporary profile the next time.

    Try to run a restore point prior to the question that arises to see if he can recover a hive of work. Alternatively, you can try to create another user with administrator privileges and check the C:\Users folder to the directory of the profile user "lost". All missing files should still be there.

    Use this class as a small reminder that you need to do regular backups, in this case, the files should be retrievable. It may not always be the case.

  • Windows 7 64 bit extremely slow stop and start

    I have a problem with my computer all the reboot process takes about 17 minutes. I thought it might be a problem with HARD drive, so I bought ssd for the OS and and a HARD disk at 7200 RPM for the rest. But the problem is still there any suggestions? And my system is not if badly, even if a bit old, it's windows custom pricing is 7.2.

    There is no error message at all.

    The problem came to be caused by devices that I joined to the computer and the printer or the card reader caused me trouble in the 5V (I was too happy I solved the problem that I have "no time" to see which one it is).  I have it might be useful someone to verify this as well before you start the long process of cleaning, removing programs, reinstalling windows and so on.

You'll need another computer with internet access and a DVD burner or another flash drive.

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Toshiba Tecra A4-S211 and provided that the installation went, it seemed that took place without incident; except that when I try to start windows I see: "Starting windows" followed by "Setup prepares your computer for first use" that is displayed for about 3-5 seconds and then it restarts and displays abruptly: "cannot start Windows.

Finally, I tried the repair function on the installation disc and says am Startup Repair is unable to repair the computer automatically, where then I click to send information to Microsoft to be told that if I had all the devices attached like a camera or portable music player to remove them and restart. I have nothing set, no flash player or anything.

    If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends because they are not a copy

    Hello:

    It's a card ethernet (antique) to heritage for which there is no W7 drivers.

    My advice would be to remove it and install a compatible ethernet card from windows 7 in its place.

    Allows you to update and get a 10/100/1000 NIC

    Sn54ls164j AN983 10/100 PCI card is not better than the integrated Intel NETWORK interface in your PC.

    Or use the Intel ethernet port if it works.

  • Establish your desktop profile / temporary

    Hello

    Running Vista Ultimate.  Had problems with my media center extender connection.  Once I started the PC, it works fine.  But some time either once a day or two if I have not connected the Extender already, or once it has been connected and then turn off, I can't reconnect.  There are errors in Event Viewer indicating that the profile is already in use.

    I finally decided to experiment and created a second user account in Windows (instead of Steve, this is SteveTest).  Well, if I go to this account first after the start, fine.  But if I connect to my existing account, then close the session, then log in to the new test account, it says "Preparing your desktop", then connects, then I get a message saying that it could not load my profile and uses a temporary.  I also have the same types of event messages seen as when I have problems in Media Center Extender.

    If I use the Test profile first, it never locks my original profile of Steve.  I can use the original profile of Steve for a week and never have a problem with disconnecting and logging to it, even after obtaining the profile of loading issues with the Test account/profile.

    It seems that maybe something in my old 'Steve' account is blocking up of some files or something in the registry and not let other accounts/load profiles, but I'm stuck in the measure where that might be, why, how to fix, or how even troubleshoot it.  Ideas?  I bet that wiping the old profile of Steve fix everything, but I would avoid it if possible, so I would actually solve the problem.
