  Hello cdrudd, welcome.

  We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

  1. connect an external drive or flash drive
  2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
  3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
  4 choose "Command Prompt"
  5. type the following command:

  CD c:

  | Come in

  users of CD

  | Come in

  dir

  | Come in

  From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

  copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

  | Come in

  * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

  Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

  copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

  You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.

  Let us know if you have a copy of your user data backup job. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  Thank you!

• On Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64 bit stops after that it says the settings and files of collection

  I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  1 disable any security software before attempting to upgrade

  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

  4. check your hard disk for errors:

  Click Start

  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

  Click on "Run as Administrator"

  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  User account control permission

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

  If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Windows Vista is running extremely slow and will not open the Task Manager or connect to the internet

  I have an older Dell running Windows Vista, and it started fine when I got it, but about a month ago it started very slow and refusing to open any program. I can't get the Task Manager to open to all and internet Explorer refuses to connect. I did a complete analysis of the system through Viper and it came out saying: there is nothing more than a few trogans. He also started a taskbar at the top of the screen. No idea how it happened either.

• How can I enable the Task Manager after recovering from an attack of Win32.GEMA

  Hello

  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  I have recently had an attack of the Win32.GEMA Trojan horse. Details of it are here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FRansirac.G

  I recovered my system using:

  AVG Rescue Disk

  Kaspersky Rescue Disk

  BitDefender Rescue Disk

  Scan of MalwareBytes

  McAffee analysis

  Hitman Pro Scan

  Spybot scan

  Eusing Registry Cleaner

  CCleaner

  Overkill maybe? But it worked... Up to now

  Apparently, the Trojan horse disables the Task Manager and that is I'm having bad to restore.

  I followed the advice in this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913623/ - but when I followed this part

  To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. Restart the computer.

  N ° 5 says that disable TaskMgr should appear in the right pane, but there is no entry to disable TaskMgr. All it is an icon of the small 'ab' (the default) beside it, then, REG_SZ.

  Then I tried to follow this part of the article from Microsoft

  To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for all users, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. Restart the computer.

  This time off TaskMgr was in the right pane - this time with a little "ohho? icon followed REG_DWORD

  I tried to create a new entry for the current user by copying one for all users, but not joy.

  Any suggestions?

  CTRL + Alt + Del does not receive any reaction whatsoever, no Ctrl + Shift + Esc or click with the right button on the barv task and selecting the Task Manager

  Thank you in anticipation

  These KB articles are for a different problem when you receive these messages when you run the Task Manager...

  Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

  The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

  The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

  You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

  Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

  Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

  c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

  Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

  The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

  Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

• running windows 7, I can't launch the Task Manager.

  It is likely that you have chosen to replace the Task Manager in the Process Explorer Options. Disable the option and you can run them both.

• Pavilion Elite m9340f: m9340f windows version upgrade from Vista 64

  I bought the Pavilion Elite m9340f in 2008, and the computer continues to work very well with the originally installed Vista 64-bit.

  I get notifications that both IE-9 that Google-Chrome 48.0.2564.103 m are no longer in charge and not working properly with many Web sites.

  I see a lot of people on the forums of the historical problems with Windows 7, 8 and 10 updates on the m9340f.  The HP support site clearly states that the m9340f has not been tested with Windows 8, and I don't see anything about HP confirming the test he m9340f with Windows 7 or 10.

  I am very careful about the updates of Windows does not properly with the hardware configuration of m9340f.  Can someone please give me some advice on the modernization of this machine for a version of windows that will allow me to have the features Google Chrome and IE, but will not do something elese to become non-functional.

  Thanks in advance,

  dberberick

  dberberick,

  The main reason I don't like the upgrade, is that the problems you had with the previous operating system tend to make their way in the new OS. You also have the previous residual files, which can cause problems.

  (1) what would be the result?

  If you haven't experienced or unfamiliar problems with Windows Vista, the upgrade to Windows 7 should be simple and without problems during migration.

  (2) what version of Windows 7?

  Unless you need functions of class Affairs (unique encryption, join a domain, etc.), it is not really a necessity for professionals.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  I have Windows XP.

  I made a custom from the disc of Windows 7 Setup, but it is designed for Vista upgrade only. Bought by mistake off Newegg, my mistake.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you!

  As far as I know, there is no product that you are inferring that you have (a media/product Windows 7 upgrade key for Windows Vista upgrade system based only).  You need to simply (by design) perform a clean installation of Windows XP to Windows 7.

• Windows 7 upgrade from Vista Home Premium fails continuously at the end

  I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

  When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

• How can I do an update instead of a new installation if you are using Windows Anytime Upgrade from Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate?

  I have a server at home, but one of my main computers cannot remotely access because it is running Vista Home Premium.  As a result, I bought a Pack anytime upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
  When I ran the installer, it downloaded updates to update and then opens a screen where the options are updated or install fresh.  However, the update option is grayed out and there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying that if I want I must must upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
  A new facility is out of the question for me.  I'm almost 2 years of work on the machine and it is set as I want.  I have a few training licenses, I don't think I'd be able to reinstall it.  Besides, I don't want to spend days and days software and reconfigure my system.
  I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but I want to leave this machine as a Vista machine.  At I throw my money on the upgrade pack or is there someway around this problem?

  Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  The installation will not proceed because the software and the computer "reads" the computer is running the battery power and it is not connected to a power source.

Indicator power where the power source is connected to the computer is not "informed", but the battery remains @ 100% charge while the computer was turned on for seven hours.
