• Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD

  Windows 7 Starter Edition does not recognize a hard drive WD, I used until last month. Device Manager sees it, he sees the USB controller (it lists as a mass storage device), but I can't access the information on the hard disk, or make use of the last backup. I tried to uninstall USB drives - it is not the thing. It gets listed under disk drives.

  Thanks for the reply.

  There was no error message: the device has been recognized (listed) by the USB controller and the Device Manager, but not by the management of the disks - so I couldn't access.

  I managed to fix the problem after:

  -J' scanned the computer (DELL Inspiron) with the Safety Scanner
  -J' completely uninstalled all the software associated with an external hard drive
  -J' uninstalled the USB controllers
  -reboot the system
  -reconnected the external HD
  -After gaining access to the drive, I installed the dedicated software

• Update for Windows Vista (32-bit) does not always update

  I saw the many threads on this topic; many recommend that you manually download updates, but none give instructions on how to download manually.

  If I try to download something from Microsoft Websites, I get an error saying that the I do not have a program that will open the download and does not suggest which will download programs or install updates.

  Is there anyone who knows the same question.  I'm at the point where I'm done.  I spent too many unproductive hours on it, and Microsoft does not seem to care enough to post a fix.

  Any help would be appreciated!

• Windows 7 starter edition does not recognize HP LaserJet 1536 dnf printer

  I use the Acer Aspire one 521 netbook with pre-installed windows 7 starter (it was bought with Win 7 starter). I have the HP LaserJet 1536dnf printer. I install, it worked well, but every time that I unplug the usb cable from my netbook and plug it in again, windows does not recognize the printer (but oddly enough, regognizes the scanner). So is it possible that I should not install/uninstall the printer each time I plug/unplug the printer?

  Hello

• Update Windows on the Web does not show updates

  Using IE8 on Windows XP SP3 machine. MS pushed 14 updates of security for me this week. (I do not update automatically, so) I started installing the 12 Oct. The first 9 installed but the last 5 years has failed. They pushed once again and installed the Oct. 13. Log files show some errors, but all updates are listed in Add/Remove programs as added 13 Oct. I tried to go towww.update.microsoft.com which lists my updates installed and scanned for needed updates. All I get is a page asking me orders to go to the start menu, updates of windows of my office instead of typing the url. Other information: between the two dates of update I told my machine to hide a particular update me. (Other threads think it's a problem). I recently spent software AV of BitDefender to ESET (Sept. 17).  So I do not know if this problem is called Windows Update fails to load, but of course, it will fail to load at the appropriate location, resting place.

  I have the answer! I found this answer (google) of someone who had a pc the windows update web site thought was a pimp. My problem is that web site update thought I had VISTA. So I deleted the key from registry HKEY_Local_Machine/software/microsoft/windows/current value/internet settings/5.0/USER Agent. (If the value contains a BONE which is incorrect, of course.) In my case, the value says windows NT 6.0, which is VISTA, not XP SP3. You will also need to do the same thing if your HKEY_current_user (by the same path) is incorrect (which was ok for me). After the backup of the key, and then delete it, then reboot, windows built the correct registry value and I'm back in business!

• I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information

  I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information. and that did not help. What to do now? The comment of Bios makes me fear that it could damage my computer forever. What should do? Help, please

  Hi Alan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the computer does not restart even after running Startup Repair and I will be happy to answer your query. I appreciate the efforts made to try to make it work. Let me ask you;

  • How do you run the Startup Repair?
  • Do you have Windows 7 repair disc?
  • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
  • Have you plugged an external equipment, except the keyboard and mouse?
  • You are able to start the computer in safe mode?
  • What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  There could be several reasons why he's not leaving including hardware as well. In addition, it could be because the master boot record (MBR) has been damaged. When you try to use the Startup Repair tool to repair the MBR, the Startup Repair tool indicates that no problem was found or it does not work yet.

  If you have any connected USB flash drive or other external devices connected to the computer, if you please, remove them and try to run the Startup Repair tool.

  If you haven't tried using Windows 7 repair disc, you can try the following:

  1. Insert the Windows 7 disc
  2. restart your computer
  3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD player, do it.
  4. Select your language, click Next.
  5. click on repair your computer
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair.

  You can also perform the system restore by selecting the restore point when you think it worked very well. System Restore, choose advanced options using the disc.

  Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

  I also recommend to contact the computer manufacturer to get the done diagnostic equipment.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• After an automatic update of Windows and stop, Firefox does not remember my tabs open at startup. Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow?

  Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  == Automatic update of Windows shut down my computer in the middle of the night.

  Hello.

  It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

  To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
