Windows Update after moving the 'users' on another disk on Windows 8 (without using the registry)
Hello guys,.
I would like to ask something. I just got a new desktop PC with a 240 GB SSD and a 1 TB HARD drive, so I had to move the Users folder to the HARD disk. I used the way written here: http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-change-user-profile-location-in-windows-8-without-registry-hack/
I wonder now, since there is no registry hack, it is sure to run Windows Update? I tried yesterday, but I found myself with 4 updates, do not install with all the applications Microsoft Windows 8 (those in the new departure) detects not whole Internet. I could not also add all the features for windows in the .net Framework as anything Microsoft partner unable to connect to the Internet.
I did a fresh install, followed the new guide but disabled the update of Windows, but I need some updates to add some options to my systems, just basic Windows updates don't not upgrading to 8.1 Windows, so is safe to make updates, is there something to do to ensure that all updates will install very well or should I just stay away Windows Update?
In which case it is allowed to update, I want to do all work perfectly as I heard the guide I followed could sometimes would do if permission issues records to check and make sure I got all the permissions to so that none of the updates fail? Thanks in advance
Hello
I would recommend that you not move all of the USERS folder, or even your own...
Which may or may not be the problem with .net 3.5... It's kind of finicky to start, and there are other reasons why he could not install...
But there are things in the folder users who may not be able to be found by things like the update of Windows, programs and etc...
The best thing to do is to simply move your various Documents, photos, etc. and leave the application data and only, etc...
You can make a new My Documents folder on the HARD drive and put the photos, downloads and etc in it and then change the location of your folder...
You don't have to make a new folder in My Documents, but there is less clutter in this way...
You MUST create new records to the desired location on your HARD drive.
If the files are going to be mixed between them on the root of the folder you are moving to.
There is a way to create the file as part of the process of 'Change location', but it would be better just to create the lilke files as you would any other folder, exactly where you want that they and choose when you're moving.
Just go to your user folder, right-click on the file that you want to move, select Properties, and then click the LOCATION tab.

What is a quick way to exit Windows 7 without using the mouse?
On Windows XP, I could type the window then u and U key to exit.
On Windows 7 I seem to need the mouse to exit, even if I did stop my setting of the default button.
In addition, Windows 7 wants to drag me through a few caveats that I've closed everything.
Sometimes, it's just my email that is open or a file folder, then there is no pending work.
But I want to just close without the quiz on my understanding of the risks of loss of work, etc..
I know that some applications such as Norton and Windows update can simply kill all ongoing enforcement programs to restart
during the installation of updates, so the 'risk' is not worth the constant reading.
Here are the steps to stop Windows 7 without using the mouse:
Press Windows (Windows key).
Release it
Press the right arrow key
Press ENTER keyIf you don't want warnings to stop, you can create a shortcut on the desktop with the command-line ' shutdown/f' and assign a key combination.
See the following link for more shutdown command line options:
http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Windows7/windows7_shutdown_command.htmOnce you create the shortcut icon on the desktop, you right-click on the icon, select Properties. In the shortcut tab, you can assign a key under the shortcut key combination to launch this program.

I'm very frustrated with Windows Update after receiving the error code 80070005
After receiving the error code 80070005 for these last months. I tried several suggested corrections but have not been able to get updates either. My operating system is Vista Ultimate 32-Bit Windows operating system and have service pack 2 installed. any help would be appreciated
Hello
As I said that it is a very difficult issue to resolve.
Did you use all of these methods, including the last link to the other thread?
If you have used all then possibly an InPlace upgrade/repair Installation might
help that allows to maintain the programs and data backups although redundant
are always a good idea.You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).On-site upgrade
http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/repair_a_vista_installation_using_the_upgrade_option_of_the_vista_dvd.htmThis tells you how to access the System Recovery Options and/or a Vista DVD
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-happened-to-the-recovery-consoleHow to perform a repair for Vista Installation
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html=====================================
If nothing works then, you can use BING or Google and search for all types of suggestions
many whom will be totally false.Perhaps the best choice is a new installation. You can use copy and paste to the backup
the data on CD, DVD, or USB drives.I hope this helps.

Smart card reader driver is sought on Windows update after inserting the smart card
We are in the process of deploying PKI project in our environment. Client computers have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit SP1. We use McAfee Endpoint Encryption 5.2.12 on all clients. Our environment has a mix of Dell (Latitude E6400, E4300, E4310, E6410, E6420) and HP (EliteBook 8460p, EliteBook 2560p) laptops. There's no problem with Dell laptops at all.
With HP machines, however there are two problems.1. with the model 8460p, after installing the Alcor card reader driver, when I insert the smart card into the reader he begins to search for the drivers on windows update. In three minutes, it updates the drivers and works very well. My concern is when I install the card reader drivers explicitly why go to Windows update. HP 2560p also has the same card reader, but this problem is not on this model. I disabled the driver smart card research in strategy group as well. This behaviour is sparkle roll.2. when I enable smart card authentication on the McAfee console for any HP laptop and try to use my smart card on McAfee Endpoint encryption pre boot screen, machine freezes. Same configuration of McAfee encryption works fine on Dell laptops.Help, please.Hello

Moving the mouse to any results on the ground in time. For example: when I moved the mouse to the "Détails" box, it was entirely 2 seconds before I saw an indication that I could enter data. What reading mail on Yahoo, if I want to mark an item to move, delete etc. I find the mouse cursor on the box for 1-3 seconds before I can click on the box. The problem occurs no matter wherever the cursor of the mouse is used. (Switch from one tab to another, ranging from one matter of Facebook to another, everywhere!) I should point out that I tried to run my Email, Facebook and all regular applications with Internet Explorer and I have not had any problems at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No help! I like Firefox and use it for years, it's only in the last few weeks that this problem has come. I really don't want change in Chrome or IE, but I can't continue with this problem. I'm not a technology expert, so I hope that there is a pretty easy fix.
Thanks in advance,
ChuckSorry I should have to take a look at this earlier, but you have several versions of Flash installed. Having multiple versions of the same plug-ins can cause problems.
Take uninstaller from here:
And install the latest version here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Notice that the link is usually an 'optional' offer for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane you can untick this box as it is not necessary to use a Flash. -
R60 freezes seconds after moving the mouse
As the title says, my R60 freezes (no response from the mouse or keyboard) moving the mouse (that it either via USB mouse, touchpad or red dot-in-the-keyboard). Can I use the keyboard to navigate through the menus / use the computer normally, but as soon as I try to move the mouse, everything crashes after 2-3 seconds of movement and I have to force a shutdown, reboot and try again... same thing continues to be.
This behavior started after I turned on my laptop this morning, after having for the night (~ 8 hours). I don't know what the cause could be because it worked perfectly normally until yesterday.
After many gels and cold - reboot, I decided to press the ThinkVantage button a start and select "return to factory settings" to reinstall Windows. Everything went well, but as soon as I moved the mouse... you guessed it, everything froze as usual. =/
I have no idea why this happens all of a sudden, as my laptop has been working well for about 2.5 years now. The only problem is that I have to keep plugged in to an electrical outlet whenever it is, because the battery dies, but I don't see how this would cause these repeated blockages.
What could be the problem? I don't know what else to do because a new installation of Windows XP of course did not help. Fortunately I just build a new desktop PC is how I can even post here. =/
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Messages to activate after moving the hard drive to a different computer
M.
I moved a drive of a machine that worked a little better. The drive works fine. This silent activation keeps appearing. I took the car to a Sony Viao which is about 8 years old and that worked very well except a few small problems
which were resolved by moving the hard drive to another machine. How to get down this thing of activation? I tried all the things that appear, but they do not match because I changed machines. I'm getting pissed.
Reinstall windows. You can just change the hard disks from one system to the other. And expect things to work correctly

Why I no longer storage capacity after moving the files of external volumes?
Disk utility reported that I had only 29.76 GB available; the 250 GB SSD was used as follows:
Apps 48Go; Photos of 32 GB; Audio 24GO; 18 GB movies; Other 99.72 GB; Available 29.76 GB
After moving to photos of 34.2 GB external volumes, films of 6,76 GB and files of documents 1 GB, disk utility has reported:
Apps 48Go; Photos 9GB; Audio: 24 GB; Movies 11FR; Other 132,14; Available 29.76 GB
After moving ~ 42 GB of data to external volumes, HD of 'other' content is passed to 132,14 GB 99,72 GB.
Not after winning more space, I moved other files; Other rose the same amount and available showed I have now 39 GB
I don't understand why 'other ' space used increases as much as I thought I had released.
So, how can I increase the space available in this SSD?
Thank you

VMX file missing after moving the hard drive
Hello
I have a problem with my VM Windows 8, it has stopped working when I moved the physical SSD in a different SATA port on the motherboard. I moved because he was running on the SATA2 instead of the SATA3 and its an SSD.
When I open VM Workstation 10 I expected to see the virtual machine waiting to be taken up (he was suspended before moving on SSD) but there was only the start option. I pressed start and it gave me a message
"Could not open computer virtual: E:\windows 8.1\Windows 8.1.vmx.
File not found
Then I looked in the phone book and it was noware to be seen! It's just gone. I noticed that there is a file to suspend in the name, it also disappeared at some point.
I tried to recreate the file .vmx following these instructions:
VMware KB: Recovery of a lost or deleted Workstation virtual machine configuration file
I used the same directory and the name of the current virtual machine. When I tried the virtual machine, I got this error:
"The specified file is not a virtual disk.
I then tried the again, this time using the same directory, but a different name.
This time it loaded up, but took a long time, when he finally got the sign in screen that I put my password as normal, but when I looked through the C:\ drive all my programs and documents had disappeared!
Really starting to panic now, I have loads of work on this virtual machine. I created snapshots, but they do not display inside VMWare, the files are still there.
I have someone would watch via Skype or team Viewer please let me know and I will set up a screen sharing.
Thanks for reading, hope someone can help.
James
Can you confirm that you have changed the hard with VMware Workstation closed? And you fixed the problem on the disk that appeared when you ran chkdsk?
What you can try is to see if it works to clone the virtual disk manually by running
VMware - vdiskmanager.exe, t 0 - r 'Windows 8.1 - 000001.vmdk' 'Windows 8.1 - Clone.vmdk.
(you may need to provide the full path to the executable file)
If it doesn't work, that shows the same error message: the GUI?

DN1030. Wired WiFi works but not wireless, even after moving the unit next to the modem
I have great wifi range and cable modem speed.
My wife saw a video from You Tube Streaming PARTY so I bought a DN1030 to replace an old music receiver and a Blu - Ray BDP - BX510 a player couple so she can listen to the same music through the TV speakers.
The readers Blu - Ray picked up wireless in 1 minute.
The DN1030 think for a few minutes and tells me that the connection fails.
I have temporarily moved the DN1030 next to my modem (it was only 15 feet away) and there was no change.
I even reset the receiver and tried to update his software (it does not need).
I temporarily connected it with a Ethernet cable and it works. Tested with airtime and the PART. Great flexibility.
I can't move the modem or connect a cable to the DN1030, so I really need a wireless receiver. What do you recommend?
A different model?
It is highly recommended that you plug your STRDN1030 has / V Receiver to a router or a modem/router and not just a standalone modem because stand-alone modems assign IP addresses to internet equipment as your Sony receiver.
You can contact your internet provider to get a separate router or upgrade your modem existing to a modem/router device.

Getting blue screen error after changing the registry system, how can I do a system restore
Vista system was a repair to start and got stuck on 3/3
I can't start windows or even in safe mode
I do not have a backup of drive to back up either
I tried to rename it in the registry, now I get the Blue error message on what ever I did in the registry
When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.
If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.
If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

is it possible to install epson SX235W printer wireless with windows 7 without using the CD?
I have a HP mini and therefore have no CD rom. There is no instructions on how to set up the printer without using the CD and that is why, I have a request if possible?

Or
You can go to the manufacturers website and download the driver on your HP Mini and install from it.

Hello
I suggest you to check the physical connection that is connected to your computer?
I suggest you to follow the steps and check.No input Signal message.
Cause
This problem may be caused by one of the options below.
- Monitor not connected correctly.
- Faulty hardware
Solution
Monitor not connected correctly
Verify that the monitor is connected to the back of the screen, as well as the back of the computer.
If the monitor seems to be connected correctly, check that a cable is not loose by disconnecting any cables that may be disconnected at the back of the screen (usually the data cable cannot be disconnected). Then unplug the data cable connected to the back of the computer, and then reconnect the cable. By connecting the cable to the back of the computer, ensure that the cable connection is strained. Most computers will also have the ends of screws that can be screwed to keep the connector in place.
Faulty hardware
If the connections look OK, unfortunately it is likely that the monitor or the computer graphics card is bad. To test this component is bad, either connect a different monitor to your computer or connect your monitor to another computer.
