What (free!) software would back up an image of the HD to a USB stick so that if I have a problem whilst away from home I could boot from the USB stick and reload the image?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHDD Like A USB Memory Stick For File Transferes
Jun 12, 2008I picked up a shiny new PC yesterday much to the annoyance of the wife (oops) and verything seemed to be running nicley untill I wanted to use an old HDD like a USB memory stick for file transferes. I plugged it in and a little message popped up saying device installed (i think), but I could not find it anywhere. No folder or options as to which way I'd want to view the files and nothing on the "Computer" tab. It was like there was nothing plugged in. I know it should work as it shows on the wifes laptop with 32bit Vista on it.
A friend with a bit more Vista experience tried to install WMD from a menu which came up as failed and now tries to install on every time I switch the machine on. But also, now when I click the "Computer" tab, explorer crashes and hangs. Task manager tries to close it but nothing happens, so I have to reset the PC. It seems like the HDD is searching for something while it tries to close. Could my HDD be at fault or should I just reinstall Vista and cross my fingers? Games and the internet work fine, but I can't access the computer tab.
Copy / Backup: USB 'memory Stick'
Jul 29, 2009I have about 3 GBytes of picture files that I keep in my Pictures directory. I sometimes copy them all to a USB 'memory stick' partly as a backup & partly to use them on other computers. It takes quite awhile to copy & overwrite them all. I would like to copy/overwrite only those files which have been edited, or which are new. Should I be using some sort of advanced copy command, or should I be looking at the backup options, or perhaps the 'briefcase' (which I have never tried)? I have Vista home premium

Sep 14, 2008I play cs fine for 1-3 minutes then it starts to cut out then comes back on. Does it again a few times then it cut's out completely and the only way to fix it is by disabling the wireless network then enabling it again then starts over cutting out. When i click the repair option - I get this. Which says this when i click "Click for imformation on troubleshooting low wireless signal quality problems

Also when gaming i loose connection on me and freeze but everyone else is moving, it's mostly everybody freezing though. and soon im not gonna put up with it and im just going to stop playing.

Is Very Different Than Windiws 2000: Unable Get The Time Zone Value To Stick During Setup, Had To Reset After Set Up
May 31, 2008Purchased a notebook yesterday that has Vista Home Premium pre-installed
1. Was not able get the time zone value to stick during setup, Had to reset after set up.
2. I successfully connected to the internet via dial-up, but I then changed the settings to not automatically dial. Now I cannot find the equivalent of "Network and dial-up connections". I want to create a shortcut on the desktop or a toolbar for each connection. How does one do this?
3. I have 2 desktop.ini icons on the desktop. Likely, because I told Vista to not hide any files.
4. How does find the equivalent of Windows Explorer?
5. Ditto for My Documents and My Computer.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow Can Windows DPI Settings
Jun 8, 2008I want to use my laptop with Vista x64 as both "HTPC" and as a Work computer. Problem: When using it as a HTPC i need to change the DPI scaling in order to be able to read any text on the 27" screen. This is perfectly fine, but when using it as a Work computer this DPI setting wont look nice on the 15" inch screen. So I have to change it and restart the computer, a very awkward process in the long run. One idea i had was to create two users with one used for the HTPC since the DPI setting is global (HKLM) together with screen resolution and other hardware settings (like sound output). I basically just changed the Font size, Icon size and Border sizes for the HTPC user. This works sort of but, unfortunately, only seems to be valid for the Desktop and a select few menus in Vista (like the start menu, main control paned window) most sub windows and dialog boxes are still displayed with the puny 9 pts font
Another wild idea might be to run a "DPI Change-script" at startup, if it's even possible to change the DPI that way. Has anyone tried anything similar? I suppose it needs a restart anyway, but at least it would be automatic. Is there a registry tweak to make the font change apply to everything in Vista. or, a tweak to make the DPI setting Local? (i.e only aplies to current user) I guess, if it would be possible to make Windows apply these (DPI) changes without needing a restart, that would be acceptable.

Mar 19, 2009I was using windows mail, then loaded outlook when I installed office 2003 (wanted word) windows mail was working fine. I lost all my contacts and mail that was in win. Mail (I thought it would transfer over with the install) losing the info was no biggie as it’s a new computer. The problem is at first I could recieve, mail with outlook but not send. Windows did a self analysis I suspect and it told me I needed to install updates. So I did a full updates install and now I can’t send or receive ?? I have a business mail account threw yahoo and used there auto configure to set up outlook just as I did for windows mail. I also tried a manual install of the settings ( although they were showing as correct) but still no mail

Aug 5, 2008i can't modify my power settings. When i try to change my power plan settings it says that my power plan info isnt available. I then go to the FAQ part and it says "If your computer is part of a network at an organization—such as a school, government agency, or business—your organization's system administrator might have made certain settings unavailable or even removed them by using Group Policy. Group Policy is a feature of Windows that lets system administrators manage users' access to Windows features. If you think that Group Policy is preventing you from changing a setting that you need to access, contact your system administrator."
I have NO idea what this means.. this is my personal computer and is not part of any newtworks. I then tried to change my account type to "standard user" so i could fix the problem, but my computer won't let me. I even created a new user account and made that one a standard user but it didn't fix the probelm. How do i gain access to my power plan so i can modify it?
TV And Change Graphic Settings
Apr 15, 2010At first I had no problems for the last 4 months when I hooked up my new TV to my laptop. I didn't even change any graphic sttings. It worked great right out of the box. I am using a standard VGA-VGA cable. Last week I hooked up my laptop to an old CRT display to do our taxes. I had to play with the graphic settiings for the CRT monitor to look OK.
Now, when I hook up the TV to the laptop, it only has the middle part of the screen showing the desktop. I have played with the Graphic settings, but no matter what I do, I cannot get it to look like it did before with the wide screen.

I have showed my friend how to re-set the settings so he is not losing much sleep over this one, but it annoys me.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSpeedfan Doesn't Keep Settings
Aug 15, 2008I put in a new 120mm fan at the front of my case yesterday to increase air flow, and it does seem to be making a difference, just it's quite noisy. I've used speedfan to lower it to 60%, which makes it barely audible, but still good cooling.
The only problem now is that speedfan doesn't keep these settings after a restart, so is there a way/a program that can do this, so I don't need to do it through speedfan each time my PC starts up.
