Bringing Things Back To Normal
Oct 4, 2009To make this short, I just have two basic questions, for now...
1. How far can someone go in formatting a drive on their computer?
2. Let's say you bought a computer and it came with it all the necessary cds, which I think is the case with most computer purchases. Could you go as far as you can with formatting all the drives (C: drive, E: recovery drive, etc.) on the computer, and bring it back to normal with those cds (cds containing windows, dell software, etc.) of course disregarding other downloaded files like word docs, videos + music etc.?
Reverts Back To Windows Standard/Classic Theme After Restart
Apr 26, 2009i'm kinda desperate atm. My laptop has this annoying habit of reverting back to windows standard/classic theme after almost every restart. I said almost as after 2/3 and sometimes even more, my aero theme correctly appeared. After another restart right after that, the problem occurs all over again. The search function in the start menu and windows explorer also 'failed to initialize' when in the said windows standard/classic mode.
I figured that this might have something to do with my user profile as I have the 'User Profile Service service failed the login. User profile cannot be loaded' problem once very recently but I've fixed it using the tutorial in this forum. The windows standard/classic theme problem had been on for quite a while back, before the user profile problem. Before all this happened, I've had this 'C:WindowsSystem32configsystemprofileDesktop refers to a location that is unavailable...' problem. I fixed that by copying all my files and folders in my C:Users[Username] folder to the location above and replacing all the files including desktop.ini. It is only after this that I've had the windows standard/classic theme problem.
I couldn't help but wonder if somehow my user profile has got something to do with it? Windows system restore could not fix this problem. By the way, I'm using a modified aero theme at the moment, using TuneUp Utilities 2009 on a Vista Home Premium 32bit Acer 5920G laptop.

Feb 12, 2007I partitioned my HD and had vista and XP on it. All my music and everything was on my xp partition, and when i tried to access them from vista it wouldnt let me because of permission rights. I enabled vista to read them by enabling me as an admin under the security tab. After than it was fine. Then after getting pretty frustrated with vista I just deleted the partition in XP. Thinking everthing would be fine, I booted my comp. and it still wants to boot to vista, but theres nothing there. I want it to just go straight to XP. And also, since I made it to where I could read my files in vista, I cant read My Documents in XP, it says I dont have the right to read it, but I am the one and only admin on XP. .

Mar 30, 2009Is it possible to make an image backup with this operating system?
Also if a file backup completes successfully and is backed up on a network drive will I be able to restore from a new install of window vista premium on the same laptop that was backed up to the network drive? Is there a better way using vista premium? I have Norton Ghost 12.0 on my desktop but not on the laptop with vista premium. Don't what to have to buy a license for laptop if there is another way to make sure in case of a failure of the operating system that I could recover by an full backup or image ? I do some beta testing and do not want to spend hours re-loading software.

View 9 Replies View RelatedRun Full Back Up To D?
Mar 23, 2008Due to an Office Enterprise issue that can only be resolved with a clean re-install of Vista on an ACER computer rather than re-installing the ACER factory load I have bought a Full version of VISTA Home Preimum so that I can do a CLEAN install. I have 3 partitions on my HD C, D & hidden, the hidden contains the factory load. My plan is to run a full back up to D as well as copies of my files. I will also make copies of my files off computer. I do have the ACER recovery disks but I hope to never have to use them. When I am all backed up I would like to format C, get rid of the hidden partition, keep D, put the VISTA DVD into the drive and do a clean install of VISTA on C. I could be wrong but I think that it would be best to format before putting the VISTA disk into the drive so there is no confusion between product keys etc. this is not an upgrade it is the same version that ACER supplied.

Apr 9, 2010Maybe this is a dumb question, I don't know. I reformat my computer about twice a year to keep things ship shape and one of the most annoying things about it is getting back all the windows / microsoft updates. Is it possible to back up all the updates you have on your computer to speed things up?
Also, if I have Vista SP1 as my install disk, and have SP2 saved to a disk can I just go ahead and put SP2 on right away or do you have to get all the little in between updates that came out before SP2?
Backup: OS Can Get Back?
May 18, 2010Currently I backup my entire C directory and the D recovery to a Clickfree 320g external drive. Is this the best approach? I am assuming that in taking that approach the OS is also backed up and given the worst case that I must reinstall the OS I can get back to pre-event status given it's all backed up. Anyway what is the best approach to" Back-up"?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUn-able To Wake Back Up
Apr 7, 2007when I have Vista go into "Sleep" I am un-able to wake it back up. I have tried everything from moving the mouse to hitting just about every button. In the end I simply have to restart the computer. Right now I use my laptop a lot and sleep comes in handy for me. I have a 1.7 CPU, 2 GB RAM on the 32-Bit OS.
My second problem deals with the row of HP QuickPlay buttons that came stock with my dv2000 series HP Laptop. The buttons themselves work but I no longer get any kind of notification of the action. For instance when I hit the mute button it no longer turns red. I have tried updating the driver and that did not work. Any thoughts? One last thing. In my opinion the Vista "sound", "battery" and "Wireless Network" buttons on the task bar look like shit. Does any one know how to replace them?
