Check Disk Gets to Stage 2 17% And just stops.
Brings up the next line awaiting another command as if it finished.
I've tried Doing a System Restore But it cant since the files are apparently corrupted and check disk cant fix them because it doesnt get far enough to find them in the first place. Just wondering if anyone here could give me a tip on what to do. I would reinstall it but my computer didn't come with a vista disk.
My pc recently died whilst running a backup, so now i have no backup. Anyway, upon restarting after this issue, I can't log into my user account fully. I can get to a plain black desktop and I get this message in a bubble "Your user profile was not loaded correctly. You have been logged on with the default profile for the system. Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator" I can't access my files of programs
View 7 Replies View Relatedone day last week, my vista x64 machine stopped going into sleep mode. Whenever I select sleep, the screen goes black, but the system never powers off - it just sits there, still running. If i move the mouse, the screen comes back on, almost like it never went into sleep mode at all.
I've got all updated drivers & BIOS for the motherboard (Asus Crosshair II formula) It's really wierd - I can't think of anything I did to cause this. I'm actually kind of getting fed up with vista (this isn't the only "random" problem I've had with vista, and I'll tell you XP, for all its faults, ran perfectly fine)
I'd really like to get this working, as I have a ****tily-paying job and would like to reduce my power bill as much as I can. I know I could just power the entire computer down, but I'm lazy and, well, I guess I expect features that exist to, you know, work.
I would need a list of the hotfixes installed if possible. To get it go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates Then just sort as list and post a screenshot
View 5 Replies View RelatedI built a Vista PC a month ago and transferred my settings from my now defunct XP PC. However, when I tried to transfer my apps so I could avoid installing most of them again, the Easy Transfer Companion program said it would not run on a 64 bit OS. So an MS product (WETC) does not support another MS product, Windows Vista 64-bit?!? How hard is it for them to create a 64-bit version of WETC?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI really getting tired of Creativelabs. I'm currently using a X-Fi XtremeMusic card which is not fully working under Vista64. I refuse to buy a X-Fi2 just to use features that should be enabled in the X-Fi card I already own. Vista has been out long enough for Creativelabs to get their act togther. In a nut shell I'm done with Creativelabs! I've always bought their products but that officially ends now.
I'm looking at HT Omega's cards. I'm a cusual gamer mainly playing EverQuest 2. How does HT Omega's card do for games like EQ2 and is the quality of drivers better than Creativelabs? I'm just trying to get some user infor before I spend $$$$$ on a new sound card.
Originally the 2nd non-OS disk contained two primary partitions fully allocated to drives D and drive G. I shrunk both and the unallocated space is separated by the second former partition (drive G). How can i get the two unallocated spaces into one area to format and create a new partition
View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed vista on my mum and dads pc last night and all was going perfect until about an hour ago when I fitted the wireless network card to get on the internet and it wouldnt install fully and I get a message saying that I need a driver for the IEEE1394 controller ?? I cant get on the internet on that pc to check for drivers so im using my laptop but cant find any drivers,Ive also installed driver robot and that came up with a few drivers so i stuck them on a usb stick and installed but no luck.Ive gone into the device manager and under "other devices" the IEEE1394 controller is showing as a little question mark so ive gone into that and its saying no drivers are installed. I think its been like this from the second i installed vista but ive just noticed it when i tried to instal the wireless network card.Any ideas of how to fix this please ? and is it solveable ? I can not find any drivers for my mobo at all. the mobo is the asus p4p800 se
View 5 Replies View RelatedI got Vista Ultimate 64 last week and once I tried running Battle for Middle-Earth on it, I get debugs before the game fully loads up. I have no idea on how to stop this and it's driving me insane! I've played the game for 3 years now and I'm staff for the game on another website, I really don't want to stop because of this.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAll new accounts I create on Vista home premium do not login properly. When a user logs in the explorer.exe process does not start (the user just sees blank blue screen). It is possible to launch the task manager and start processes by hand. I found a suggestion on another post that said there was an incorrect "Shell" registry entry that could be the cause of the problem, but that was not the case here. The Shell key is correctly set to "explorer.exe". If the users log in under safe mode, the desktop loads correctly.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI know Vista SP2 is still in "beta" phase but unlike W7 where the WHOLE OS is a beta I've legally paid for a VISTA license -- so after installing SP2 knowing it is still in beta and will expire in Apr I was a bit peeved to see Evaluation Copy stamped on my Desktop - especially when I've PAID for a full VISTA ULTIMATE license. This implies to management etc etc that I've downloaded a temporary copy of the OS rather than a Service Pack especially the water mark doesn't even MENTION SP2 on it. This is the sort of stuff that makes me want to go to torrents to look for cracks in how to get rid of this stuff.
