• Easy transfer Windows spilled all my folders and files in the C: OS drive.

  I don't know if I've done something right or if it is a real problem. I used my wired network and Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and folders of old readers logics partioned 5 XP to my new family Win 7 Premium 64 bit, also with a hard drive partitioned. Transfer all the folders and files placed in the new Win 7 C: OS drive. What a nightmare! I had to return the computer to factory settings (out of the box) and all over again.

  I should have been smarter. After all, how a stupid machine knowledge where to put each logical drives and folders without receiving instructions. But then it should have been a warning that the machine is not do miracles.

  Caution: do not use Windows Easy Transfer if you have a partitioned hard drive.

  PS sory for my English.

  Dan or one of the others may be able to help if you post exactly what indicates the error.

  As you say you are not a noob so maybe you need to change something in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Maybe go to the advanced option when you're at NVIDIA.

  Personally when I clean installs I delete, and format the entire disk before installing W7. Doing it this way usually prevents this kind of error occurs. When you use the W7 install disk to format, it may not remove all of the old files registry Vista and can cause problems.

  If you start from scratch once again, this may solve your problem, but there is no guarantee.

  It took 4 tries on my HDX from Vista to W7 to do things.

  I just took a glance at my NVIDIA advanced and under Show options there is an option to "manage custom resolutions. Here I could input what I wanted. What's your has that?

• On Windows 7, how to convert a file with the file Type of "OST" to a file Type of 'PST '?

  I have an old Outlook on a computer file before I want to be able to read about this new computer Win7.

  I could be wrong and certainly can be corrected, but...

  United are a few highlights of what is contained on the Exchange server where this account has been set up.

  Maybe it was a corporate email account that you have taken with you when you left or found in an old backup?
  If so, there are legalities involved and I would not advise to play with the file.

  If they are legitimate emails, free and clear - so maybe the account is still active and you can set up the account and re-download the messages.
  Otherwise, there are several (very expensive) programs that will convert him, about $600 if my memory is.

  Sorry, probably NOT the answer you were hoping for.

• To access the files with the appropriate authorization

  Hello everyone. I tried to fix something that I screwed up a long time ago. Here's how it started. I have this drive external DRIVE that I keep my photo archive to. I was going to somewhere that I don't remember now, so I wanted to keep away from curious eyes. So I right click on the main folder and 'share with... '. Nobody ". I applied it to all subfolders and files, etc. So of course when I was there, I couldn't access my files either. He says I don't have permission to access. It's understandable. Then, some time later, my computer crashed and I had to install win7 all over again. That's when I realized that I blocked my own photos in a way. I couldn't access the files without changing the status of property. I've changed the status to everyone instead of specific individuals. I could access the files. OK boring part is almost finished.

  Now I can access the files. But under certain conditions. I have recently (4 hours ago) installed win7. I still get the same error always which is the following:
  [IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/5.jpg [line]
  This is how I see the files/folders
  [IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/1.jpg [line]
  I have apart from the main folder through Group residential read/write first, then I have to go for the subfolders, select all the files and share them again
  [IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/2.jpg [line]
  then I result
  [IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/3.jpg [line]
  When I check the security options in detail, I see a number of unknown accounts as owners.
  [IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/4.jpg [line]
  I always delete but they keep their appearance or it seems that way.
  So I solved my problem by going to these steps. But I want also gives access to my files on other computers. I don't want to change owner every time I want to take a look at my photos somewhere else than on my own computer. Is there a way to solve this problem once and for all? or do I have to do this in a routine. It's very tiring to go all folders and share and delete owners etc.
  Thanks in advance for your help. I promise you that I won't go anywhere near file sharing again.

  OK, I got it, I changed the owner again at all for the entire disk. now I can access all the files. It really scared me for a minute there. Thank you once again.

• I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

  Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

  After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

  But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

  I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

  Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.
  
  SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

  I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

  Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
  Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.

• Windows Search is no longer class files in Documents/music etc

  I have an SSD as my main system drive and a normal player as my data disc for music, etc.  I have My Document / my music, etc. files installs on the data disk using the location of the folders tab to help relocate them on my data disc.  I rechecked my library all point to the correct locations, BUT when I use search programs and files in the start bar, nothing is never categorized in Documents/music etc all I see is the Panel of configuration/programs and files. Files lists some of what I have in My Documents etc.  It's like Windows search completely ignores everything I put in place in libraries today.  I tried various things, reconstruction of my index finger, to transfer my Documents etc back to my SSD.  Microsoft Search seems to just ignore everything now in my library?  Any thoughts?

• Sir, I have windows 7, after the creation of PDF files the icon was in solid color red and grey, but now the icon changed to adobe acrobat 7 professional, logo, how can I get the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to i

  Mr President

  I have windows 7, after creation of the solid color red & gray icon PDF files, but now the icon has changed to adobe acrobat 7 Professional logo, how do I re obtain the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to identify, also I used acrobat adobe 7 Professional but this problem was not there.

  Hi manojp35249311,

  Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.

  Please attach a screenshot so that we can diagnose the problem correctly.

HELP PLEASE. previous e-mail files are under mail then mail.earthlink* .net and each of the five mail .net is an email address I have.
