Recovery Manager Missing
Mar 27, 2009
I messed up my registry and had to reformat. I went to my recovery partition but could not use it. So I used my recovery dvd but the recovery manager was missing. So I just reinstall vista without any of the crap software that came with it. Now I don't mind not having any of that crap software on my computer but I don't like not having the recovery partition available. I thought that if I used the recovery dvd that would have restored the recovery partition but it didn't. I mean I can see my recovery partition but the emachine recovery console is missing so I can't access it. How do I get my recovery partition back. In other words how do I get my computer back to it's factory settings?

Quote: If you have a HP computer, then HP has it's own version of System Restore installed called HP Recovery Manager. You can uninstall this in Programs and Features.
I ran across this statement in Tutorials.
It needs some clarifications:
In Pavillion and Presario notebooks, HP Rec Mgr does more than just System restore. And btw, HP does not have its own version of SR. It runs Windows' version.
HP Rec Mgr has other functions: Re-install original software programs and hardware drivers and complete System Recovery restoring the original hard disk factory template. It can be utilized to create a set of recovery discs.
In HP Business notebook, Rec Mgr does not re-install software progs and drivers but does the others listed in Pavilion/Presario models.
I don't think HP Recovery Manager should be uninstalled. Or if perchance, he meant uninstalling System Restore, be aware that HP Rec Mgr will be unable to system restore on its own if Windows SR is unstalled or disabled.

I have been trying to figure out how to burn myself a set of Vista Recovery discs so that I have something to fall back on if my Win 7 installation is not to my liking. The problem is, whenever I try and use the Recovery Manager to create the discs I am met with the error: Sonic: PX.dll not found. I have not already created any discs in the past and I havn't ever had any Sonic software installed on my computer. My burner functions perfectly as well. Does the D: drive contain actual images (.ISO) that I could use to burn a set of discs, or is it a process the recovery manager has to do?

I'm trying to restore my computer and it is absolutely driving me CRAZY! Last thursday I tried running the HP Recovery manager to restore it back to it's factory image and it kept freezing around 77%, so I chatted online with an HP customer support guy and he told me I needed to get the restore disks. I got the restore disks today and it freezes at 33%! What should I do?

i started to make a recovery disc, but all i had was a cd around, so i had to stop after the first one and now i have dvd's, so i tried to restart and do it again but it tells me that it has to be a cd and that its on disk 2 of 17, i dont even have the 1st disk anymore that was months ago that i made that and i forgot about it thinking that i would just make the dvds later, is there any way to reset this process?? theres absolutely no options or minues in the recovery manager so im not sure what to do.

I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi1505 laptop with Windows Vista 32 bit home premium installed. When I got the laptop there was an icon in the system tray near to the clock which when you clicked on it opened up a nice looking graphic from which you could alter the realtek sound settings and choose things such as concert speech room etc. It had graphics depicting speakers and other things.
That has now completely disappeared and I cannot seem to get it back or find it anywhere on my computer. It made making adjustments to the sound settings so much easier and I miss not having it. Is there anyway to restore it back so that I can alter my sound settings more easily

I lost my desktop and Task Manager. I could still see my start menu. I followed instructions on the forum to enable my Task Manager again using the admin cmd prompt and running a script ws... vbs something. Now I have Task Manager but when I click File, the only choice I have is Exit Task Manager. I thought that if I kill the process Explorer.exe and restart it, it will restore my desktop icons and the task bar at the bottom of my screen. I killed the process but couldn't restart it. I did a shutdown from Task Manager, but on reboot the problem still exists. I already tried system restore and have run a full norton scan.

I'm using the realtek HD audio, when i plug my headphone or my speaker they work fine but i tried to mess with a microphone and i can't open the realtek manager, i can't even find it anywhere actually. I'm using windows vista home premium 32bit. I tried the new drivers, tried uninstalling and everything else. Is there something that i'm missing here? I can't seem to make the mic work w/o the manager apparently. On the device manager the Realtek high def audio shows this version 6.0.6000.16386. I tried download the 2.31 on the realtek website, to no avail.

1.) I don't know if it's important, but "npkcrypt" is apparently either missing or damaged, according to Device Manager..... I imagine there's no file that's missing that can be GOOD, but I figured I'd ask if there's a way to fix that, or it could be relevant to problem number 2.....
2.) Lately when I shut my computer down, 50% of the time if not more often it takes forever to shut down, doesn't shut down, or will but claims that "windows has suffered from an unexpected shutdown"..... even though it shut down because I TOLD IT TO. When it comes back on it says I suffered a BlueScreen, which I've only actually SEEN happen one or two times, but it claims it happens almost every time those other problems occur.
3.) Another thing I would like some aid with, if possible.... there are programs I want to prevent from running when I start my computr, but when I go in to stop them, it won't let me, stating that the scan on them leaves them "unidentified," so I can't make them NOT start along with my PC. Only Microsoft programs are capable of being stopped.... any way around that?
4.) I think the problems with 2 may be related to some downloading done on my part recently, but I have McAffee AND all my windows stuff on maximum security.... not a peep from ANY of them.
5.) When the start-up/shut-down issues started happening a few days ago it also said my CD-ROM driver was messed up, and I thought that was the ACTUAL problem, but when I fixed that, it still didn't stop the Bluescreen issues from occurring. I don't know what to do to fix ANY of this, but if someone does, or could AT LEAST explain what the hell it all means, that would be GREAT.

my computers been running a little slow and ive decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows. However, i looked on the bottom of the laptop and the key has been faded so some numbers are very hard to recognize. I researched what to do in situations like this, and i came across and RJL software, and keyfinders that all gave me the same product key, but did not match the numbers i could make out on the bottom of the laptop. I do have the recovery disks, but i know i will be prompted to fill in my serial number and i dont know how to recover it

So basically, a few weeks after i got Vista i tried to install Stellarium (freeware astronomy program), which crashed my computer. I restarted, and after typing in my password I get "My Documents" open on a black screen, nothing else, no taskbar or desktop icons or anything. When i try to open the "taskbar and start menu" icon in Control Panel, nothing happens. Also, when I Ctrl-Alt-Del the usual screen comes up, but the task manager is no longer an option, and i can't think of how to access it or my taskbar. I've installed all the servfice packs and they haven't helped.

I recently rebuilt my machine (see system specs) and when I went to pop in my old HDD as a secondary drive to pull some files from it, Windows decided it needed to run chkdsk on it. I tried to stop it, as this is a 500GB drive so I knew it would take forever, but I couldn't stop it. So after a few hours, it finished and let me in, but now all of the files are missing. This was my old C: (primary) drive, so it should have Windows, Users, Program Data, etc folders but it doesn't. it just has a few empty folders (Nvidia, Intel...) However when you check the properties of the disk, it shows that several GB's are used, so I know my data is around there somewhere. Changing the folder options to view hidden does not help. The OS on this disk was Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

A customer asked if he created the recovery disc would he still have a complete working recovery partition. He is in fear of creating the disc then losing them.

Just about 1-2 weeks ago i was sitting comfortably in my living room gaming away when i noticed the game i was playing started having problems. In the mist of playing my keyboard locks up and mouse freezes and i can't move my character at all. I can't even alt+tab to task manager to fix the problem. I noticed the windows vista error sound play and then a few seconds later the game resumes normally.
I thought it was the particular game, but when i ditched it and started playing navyfield i noticed the same problem occurring there.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? I was thinking driver related problems or possible graphics since the problem never occurs outside of gaming. When the problem happens the green lights for numb lock etc.. quickly off and on. I have disabled trusted installer thinking it was lag durring game and that cause the information to pause....I have recently reformated my hard drived with the disk that came with the computer and did a full installation of windows updates.

the infamous fake "Vista atnivirus 2010" somehow got into my system, with its unstopable topups that would never end until I did this. the program was av.exe, and is indicated in task manager as gav.exe *32. This is a hidden file in the folder (user)/AppData / Local. To resolve this issue, I did the following:
1. Start task manager.
2. Right-click the file in task manager
3. Select the option gOpen containing folderh.
4. Close task manager.........

I was having problems with my pc freezing. Took it in for a diognostic and everything came back fine. They said it was a Vista problem.
So, I reinstalled the operating system disk and put windows back on the PC.
Now when I turn on my PC I get the Windows Boot Manager screen asking to choose operationg system to star with two versions of Vista to choose from. The first on the list is the rebooted (new) version. If I click on the second one, it is my old version with all my old files and programs.
Funny thing is, I am not having any issues with the old version any more.(YET)
Is there anyway to get rid of the rebooted (new) version windows so I can stop getting the windows boot manager whenever I start the PC? I rather keep using the version with all my old programs and files since it seems to be fine.

I ran XP, I installed Vista to the next partition, I want to eliminate XP,but the Vista boot MANAGER is on the XP partition. I tried hiding the XP partition, booting the Vista CD and doing a repair (twice) but when it boots, it tells me NTLDR is missing.

How do I get Task manager to work? It doesn't shut down frozen (non responding) programs including WindowsMail, IE7 or MozillaFF... all of which "stop responding" constantly. We're all getting sick and tired of having to reboot to get anything done online. I can't find any infections on this PC which has WDefender, Avast, Spybot, Adaware, A-Squared and ZoneAlarm. We ran all these programs, updated, several times and no viruses or other crapware was found. This Vista Home Premium is less stable than the old W98 we recently gave away. In fact we had less problems with W98 than we're having with Vista.

This morning,I opened up the Task Manager and noticed that there are no longer any options such as Applications,Processes,Services,Performance,Networking,and User(thosetabs are no longer available).
In addition File,Options,View,Windows,and Help at the top hasdisappeared also.
Also,the minimize,maximize,and close out buttons have disappeared inthe upper right hand corner,so I can no longer minimize or close thetask manager window. However,when I switch to a different user,the taskmanager window is normal and all those options are there.
I would perform a system restore to a date and time of last night at11:00 pm or sometime yesterday,but I was having trouble with my internetconnection last night and yesterday and I'm afraid if I go back a day insystem restore,I will lose my internet connection again because Belkinhad me change some settings yesterday and last night that allowed me tostay connected to the internet.

I guess GigaGet is no longer developed but I like it a lot. I was wondering if anyone knows what settings to use in order to avoid "the url already exists" when downloading?
Other than that nuisance, I really like using this downloader. There must be some setting I haven't figured out to get it to stop tracking what I've already downloaded and just download the thing I want!
