• Update of Windows Media Player stopped because it made my computer slow and now can't copy a CD

  The constant update of the Player Windows Media caused me go into options and uncheck the library update that didn't work so then I went to the library to manage and delete music files, photos, videos etc, which made the stop of Windows Media updated, but now I cannot rip CDs and an error message saying "Windows Media player cannot extract one or more tracks. the CD"that has occurred only since I took these actions.  I tried to back up my library, but the program I Include leaves nothing or I don't need to put in place the correct files.  Help, please!

  Hi Imogen...

  Updates to the WMP library can slow performance, but if you want to extract the music you need to have a default save location which will usually be the music folder.

  Under 'Organize' - managing libraries - music - click on the 'Add' button and restore the 'music' (or my music) by default and then click OK. The library must rebuild. Come back if you're still stuck, however. -Cheers, Ric.

  Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents the start of the procedure that this article describes to Windows XP using System Restore and Recovery Console. This article lists also all required specific steps to ensure that the process is fully completed. When you have completed this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the State until the problem occurred. If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you don't have to follow the procedures in parts two and three. You can go to part IV. First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the System32\Config folder. When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

     delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
     delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
     Delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
     delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
     Delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

     Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
     copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
     copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
     Copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
     Copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

  6. Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.

  Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

  If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 5, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

  batch regcopy1.txt

  With the command batch to the Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file in the order. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands. Second part to perform the procedure described in this section, you must be logged on as an administrator or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can connect as an administrative user. If you sign in as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode. To start the computer in Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode, follow these steps.

  Note Print these instructions before continuing. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Mode safe. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from article KB309531 of the Knowledge Base. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.

  1. Click Start , click shut down (or click turn off computer ), click restart , and then click OK (or click restart ).
  2. Press the F8 key.

     On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the boot menu.

  3. Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate safe mode option and press ENTER.
  4. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER.

  In part two, you copy the registry of their location saved files by using the system restore. This folder is not available in the Recovery Console, and is usually not visible on the typical use. Before you begin this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:

  1. Start Windows Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, click folder options .
  3. Click the view tab.
  4. Under hidden files and folders , select Show hidden folders and files , and then click to clear the Hide protected (recommended) operating system files check box.
  5. When appears in the dialog box confirming that you want to display these files, click Yes .
  6. Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display the list of folders. If it is important to click on the correct drive.
  7. Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is not available and is dimmed because it is defined as a file hidden doubling.

     Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore {87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}.

     Note You may receive the following error message:

  C:\System Volume Information is not accessible. Access is denied.

  If you receive this message, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for access to this folder and continue with the procedure:

  309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder
• Open a folder that was created not at the present time. You may need to click Details on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RPx under this folder. Here are the restore points.
• Open one of these folders to find a subfolder of the snapshot. The following path is an example of a folder path to the snapshot folder:
  C:\System Volume \RP1\Snapshot Information\_restore {D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}
• Starting from the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder:
  • _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
• Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
  • Rename _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT DEFAULT
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM

These files are the system restore registry files. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during the first part. Therefore, it is important not to use the most recent folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same at the moment.

The current configuration of the system is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry to a previous restore point to make previous restore available again points.

The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to ensure the files are available in the Recovery Console. You use these files to replace the registry files currently in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. By default, the Recovery Console has limited access to records and cannot copy the files in the File System Volume.

Note The procedure described in this section assume you are using your computer with the FAT32 file system. For more information on how to access the folder of information system with the NTFS file system Volume, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder

Part three in the third part, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the system restore registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:

1. Start the Recovery Console.
2. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
   del c:\windows\system32\config\sam

   del c:\windows\system32\config\security

   del c:\windows\system32\config\software

   del c:\windows\system32\config\default

   del c:\windows\system32\config\system

   copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

   copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

   copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

   Copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security

   Copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.

• Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.

Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 2, and then create a text file named "Regcopy2.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

regcopy2.txt batch

Fourth part

1. Click Start and then click all programs .
2. Click on Accessories , then System Tools .
3. Click System Restore , and then click restore to a previous RestorePoint .

• Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  1. Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).

  After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

  C:\WINDOWS

  For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

  Chkdsk /r

  For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

• Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

  When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

  «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.

     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

  There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

  You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

  But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

  If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

  Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

  You can either make the step remove first:

  delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

  Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

  Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

  1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

  2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

  3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

  I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

  If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

  If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

• How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

  Nice day

  How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

  with regard to my question above. I need to hold the button of power for 5 seconds to completely shut down my laptop. even restart or sleep does not work well. I upgraded a real victory 8.1 to 10 free victory by that windows app reservation offered. IM using acer aspire v5 - 573 g i7, version gt750m, Finnish keyboard

  solutions, I tried to random searches that did not work for me.
  1 unchecking quick stop to power options
  2 disabling hibernation in cmd (types a code forgot what I have)
  3. update all drivers and bios with sites acer official drivers, driver pack solution 15.8 and utility driver update intels
  4 decommissioning intel management engine components driver 11 to 9.5
  5. go to the bios and reset to the default settings
  6 make a shortcut of "shutdown" with codes e.g. shutdown /s /t 0
  7. click Update stop

  IM thinking of reinstalling windows 10 via recovery which removes applications, files, drivers, etc. and hope this solves. I can't roll back to win 8.1 because ive done this reset before you completely clean out my system of win random 8 and trashes the restore option was gone.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello/Hallo wuschel93,

  exactly what I had. Stop number appears only after a certain time the laptop running.

  The problem is INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE RELATED V.11!

  I fixed it with uninstall Intel Management Engine Version 11. Windows will then install version 9.5 automatically. After that I turned off the automatic update of the driver for this device. You can also install 9.5 without uninstalling the old one, it wil crushed.

  Other manufactures also have this problem, but while Acer is still asleep, they provide a solution (including download links):

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/sleep-and-shutdown-issues-after...

  Maybe there are any other issues that result in the same problem. But in most cases, it's the answer. The thread Starter maybe forgotten to disable the automatic driver update or made installation of v9.5 evil?

• I recived the windows\system32\config\system damaged or missing error today

  I got the windows\system32\config\system error damaged or missing today and do the chkdsk c:/r on it and he said: "The Volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems"... is it still fixable or have I just lost my HD?

  I can't do a cause of model, that I built it 2 years ago.
  I run windows xp professional, service Pack3, all updates
  I use spybot, avg, windows defender and malwarebytes
  Caused the computer to restart 4 times and I didn't know it until it was too late cause we had electricians turning the power on/off and I didn't know my computer kept on again and restart.
  I have a cdrom to work and I still have the xp cd.

  Note: I tried to do a repair of windows, go to the Setup screen. But there was no repair to the screen only option how much space is free, if I wanted to install or delete a partition. I have nothing just to the left.

  If chkdsk does not resolve your hard drive, then you will need in the end not completely reformat your hard drive and reinstall Windows.  Before doing so, however, you must save as much data as you can to an external USB hard drive.  If your system boots, then save as much as the hard drive will allow.  If your system does not start, then you should try to boot from a bootable CD that will support USB drives (I prefer free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix), then again until you can.

  To reinstall Windows, many computers have a recovery Partition that will restore your computer to its State as purchaser which can be activated by pressing a combination of keys special at the time where the manufacturer splash screen goes back to the start.  Read quickly, find the appropriate key combination and press it to reinstall Windows - well in your case, it seems that you have an installation CD.  If the request to do a 'Quick format' or 'Regular Format', do not select Quick format.

• on windows xp, my system restore to a previous restore point. have you tried many restore points & creating new ones but the system does not restore. all the solutions out there?

  on windows xp that my system restore to a previous restore point, I tried many restore points & created new ones but the system displays "could not be restored", any help out there.

  Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

  It's windows xp.

  If we knew more, you would probably now.

  What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

  The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
  For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
  Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
  It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
  Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
  No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Running Windows 7, the new version of Thunderbird crashes my whole system about 90 seconds after its launch.

  The system hangs. Nothing does, do not move the mouse. CTRL + Alt + Delete does nothing. Only way to proceed is to shut down the computer and restart. I use Thunderbird for years with no problems, until the most recent upgrade.
  I tried to restart and launch other programs, but Thunderbird leads to the same result. I also tried to launch Thunderbird, open the address book window and close the window of mail electronic mail. It always breaks my computer after about 90 seconds.

  OK, this accident probably won't help us a lot. I had once more. Basically, it's a deliberate attempt to block Thunderbird when a setback occurs. Unfortunately, while we stopped crashes, no one has identified a single cause that we can hang our hats.

  Now if overwrite Windows is something very different and implies something that has access to the kernel of the operating system level. It's drivers and anti virus programs basically.

  IF safe mode helped try this in normal mode.

  In the toolbar > Options > General Advanced and disable hardware acceleration.

  Hello

  Well, Stefan has suggested that the recovery CD is corrupt, but for me it s does not erase if you used a recovery CD or the Microsoft Windows CD.
  What did you use?

  I think that the recovery CD should be corrupted and it works without any problem.
  You format the HARD drive correctly? Otherwise, do it first and delete all partitions and try reinstalling the operating system.
