• Windows 7 locked out

  Locked put off of one of my computers. You don't have to remember the password. My password hint is not helping? Anyone know of a solution?

  To be honest with you, it's a friend's computer. He has no idea where is the DVD. Don't you think that there is a work around or maybe just reformat and start from scratch. There is no important data on the C; drive.

  In Windows 7, there are several methods to resolve this problem:

  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

• Windows 8 locked out.

  Started the Acer laptop but just missed seeing a notice on the first screen - login screen says app prevented the closing down and the computer is locked.

  As I thought I had a virus I pressed the power button and the screen is blank but the laptop is not stopped. I checked the internet on my desk and found that it is a common problem with Win 8.

  I've updated Windows Essentials the previous night.

  I tried to insert a recovery USB flash drive - nothing happens.

  Help!

  That the message is probably not a virus - it is very common for a prevention program stops.  By example, if you have even just a Notepad file open and waiting for you to decide if you want to save it or not, it is likely to block the closure.

  Depriving of electricity directly in now the power button is also very bad and can damage the system.  Use it only as an absolute last resort.

  Regarding the current situation, can you let me know what happens now, when you try to turn on your computer?  Message/error/problem do you see?

• Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

  I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

  Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

  I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

  What is Microsoft doing about this?

  Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

  Hello Nikki Locke,

  That's great, that you have found a solution. However, you can view the following information.
  Please see the thread below because there was a problem with the program guide in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It must be corrected. If not, let us know.

• Computer Windows Vista is unable to see the Boxee Box or Windows 7 computer.

  original title: network sharing

  I have a Windows Vista-based computer, a Windows 7 computer and a Boxee Box from d-link.

  The windows vista machine is set up for sharing, but I thought that you should choose what is shared.  I'm not able to see the Windows 7 machine or the boxee box to share with... This is due to the different operating systems?

  When I implemented the boxee box he showed all the shared files when I couldn't see the device to share... why?

  Maybe this can help.

  ---------------------
  

  The following looks like a long history (it's only 600 words). I know not what is knowledge of the user, and exactly what has been done already. The info go through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the LAN Windows OS features '.

  ----------------------

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  ------------------------------
  

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

  -------------

  If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  ** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.
