  You can do a refresh (or factory reset) of the start screen.  Check with the manual of your computer (or Google it) for more information.

• How to fix the OS without installing Windows completely?

  I have a laptop A10 that crashed after a virus attack or a worm. (I think).
  It came with two recovery disks and a driver disc etc.
  It starts, but you cannot start windows XP, the file \windows\system32\config\system is missing or damaged. He tells me that I cannot attempt repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original installation of Windows CD-ROM, after which I need to select 'r' in the first screen.

  I don't have a Windows installation disc, Windows XP must be on the recovery disks. They give me the opportunity to completely reinstall windows, which I am unwilling to do. Another option is intended for users of the teacher, but I don't see the usefulness.

  How to repair or reinstall the config sys without re install windows completely?

  With respect,

  Hi Hans

  As far as I know it s not possible to copy some files from the recovery CD singles, because it s just an image on CD. I think that the only way to fix this is to recover your system with the restore CD.
  If anyone has any other ideas please share with us.

• How to disable access to the cd player while windows is locked.

  Hello

  Does anyone know it's possible to disable access to the cd/dvd drive while windows is locked?

  That is, I would like to press Ctrl + alt + delete to lock my pc, then while I'm away, someone presses the eject button on my cd player and it will not eject.

  I have looked in device, properties of D: drive management, security settings, etc., but have been unable to find such a control to this day.

  Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  J

  Hi JC_226,

  This isn't the Windows feature. Can not disable access to the cd player while windows is locked. However, there is an option to disable the CD/DVD device. To do this, you can follow these steps:
  a. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
  b. in the list of objects, expand CD/DVD players.
  c. right-click on the sub element and click on disable.
  d. follow the instructions in the wizard to disable the device.

  Important: If you disable a device that is required to start the system, such as your floppy drive or CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, these devices will not work, and your system might not start.

• No windows firewall after the fbi virus

  Recently, I caught the virus from the FBI and used Norton Power Eraser to get rid of him. However, now my windows firewall will not turn on. I get the 2different error messages: 'Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings,' and when I try to update the firewall settings "Windows Firewall could not make the requested updates. It also does not allow me to activate Windows defender, giving me the error code '0 x 800070424 '. My only system restore point comes from when I was still having this problem and my last backup was a while ago. What are my options here? Thank you!

  Hello

  What do you use for an Antivirus and it is part of a Suite of Internet Security?

  If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

  And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

• Windows complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Home Premium

  I finally new PC my son all set up with Vista 64-bit Home Premium and installation is sublime.

  But when I looked for a few floppy bootable installation complete I think I bought the wrong version of the program.

  "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

  Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

  No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.

• Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore

  Dear Madam, dear Sir

  Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.

  The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.

  Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.

  Mmmm nice ideas...

  Thanks in advance

  Good day

  Hello

  Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.

  You access it to start from a Vista DVD.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Restore/

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

• Error msg "this disc cannot be used to store a picture Windows complete PC backup because it is not formatted with NTFS.

  Original title: what is NTFS?
  When you try to do a full up, I get the error msg "this disc cannot be used to store a picture Windows complete PC backup because it is not formatted with NTFS.  My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

  What is NTFS?

  What type of disc to I use to make a backup?

  Hi Heather_604,

  There are two ways you can do: you can convert the external hard drive to NTFS, or you can format the external hard drive to NTFS.

  Personally, I suggest that you format the external hard drive, but this will remove all data from the drive. Temporarily, you can copy what is on the hard drive on your C: drive if you have enough free space (or DVD) - once the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, you can copy everything back.

  Formatting disks and drives

  Examine everything under view all. also check How can I add a new HDD? If Vista not recognize the external drive in see computer management - disk, the link create and format a hard disk partition management:

• Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

  In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery.

  I guess I'll answer my own question. It seems that Vista Home Basics to create an image of the system has been paralyzed. OK, so I'll look using free Microsoft imagex utility then.

• Windows screen lock problem

  Hello

  I have the problem of Windows screen lock on my PC.

  Usually, when you exit the log of the PC, it locks automatically the screen and you must type the single password to log in, but I need to type user name and password each time.

  other people have tried on my PC, but username remained and only password type, it goes to only my account.

  Even if I deleted my profile and it created again, happens again.

  Please give me some advice.

  Thank you
