My laptop was working fine until I rebooted. After I rebooted, Aero thems is gone. I cannot save any of the settings. Audio is not working. Networking is not working!! I cannot use anything in the control panel. I came to realize that RPC is not available but when i typed services.msc in run, rpc is running well..Tried finding solution everywhere in web , but could not find.System restore is not working either. I tried repair install, but the error pops up after I click the INSTALL now button from the Bootable Win 7 dvd as " Window could not retrieve information about the disk on this computer".On top of that, I had encrypted my encrypted partition with the bitlocker. Now If I happen to format Windows 7, would I be able to access that partition?? I got very important documents in that partition.

I lost my win 7 product key and need to find a trustworthy product key recovery program, I heard of the magical jellybean one but it's hard for me to take it serious, usually programs with ridiculous names have screwed me in the past. I am half-expecting it to send my product key to the dude who made the software. Anyways, what's a good software to recover my product key for win 7? It's all legit but I just lost my cd/case/key sticker.

I have a computer that someone put a clean copy of Windows 7 and previously it was windows xp. We did a back-up before the computer was wiped up. (programs - Accesories - back-up/restore) in windows 7, you have to got to the control pannel, but it does not pick up the back up. I used an external hard drive.

I know how to obtain the current day's history, but am keen to know if it's possible to do this for the previous day/s? I'm just lazy in not wanting to go through 50 audio files (radio shows) to find the exact one I played yesterday.I'm using Win 7 fully updated.

I was having problems getting virtual xp mode to boot on my windows 7 computer. I deleted windows xp mode and reinstalled it. I was then able to open xp mode but when I opened Acess 2003 and looked for my database for my business It seemed to have disappeared. Did searches in xp mode, on windows 7 in all drives.

On my older Gateway pc had Vista 64 installed and purchase the Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade but now I built a new pc and installed the WIN 7 OS on my new system but am getting some hiccups with the software (i.e. access denied when I try to change the parameter of a process>even though I'm login as an admin, or updating drivers>MS states their drivers are better even though they are older and a few critical errors in even viewer>DCOM, NTFS file structure)so spoke to MS and they stated to do a clean install of WIN 7, either I resinstall the earlier OS version (Vista) then upgrade it to Windows 7 but if I just want to install the Windows 7 then I need to purchase the full version of it which if at all possible I would rather not since the upgrade cost me $240 in february. I know there used to be away to retrieve the OS of the OEM CD and install it without the OEM apps/drivers/junk software.On my 2 recovery DVD, there are some WIM files starting with Base.dat thru Base5.wmi files.Can I just copy/burn those files onto a dvd and install it or is it more complex nowadays?

My husband and I just bought a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 Home on it. He bought it for use at work, and when he took it to work, they upgraded it to Windows 7 Professional. I don't know who they had working on this, but it seems that they didn't make a back-up of anything first, and my husband doesn't know enough about computers to have thought to make one, and he didn't realize that the people doing this to his computer might just not know what they were doing. Anyway, EVERYTHING he had on the computer before is GONE...right down to the drivers for the wireless and the BLU-ray disc drive. I can put that stuff back, but he had also just finished writing a sermon on the computer, and that's gone too, of course. A lot of work that unfortunately he didn't save anywhere else.

Before installation I had all my programs such Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. n my desktop, but since installing the CD I am not able to acces any of my old files such as Microsoft Word, Excel, my desktop does ot show any of the programs that I had previously downloaded or installed on my PC before installing the Windows 7 CD. How can retrieve my previous files that I had before installing the CD?

Is there a repair with these disks? I am getting a BOOTMGR missing but I checked the hard drive and it is fine. I do not want to lose anything because I have a lot on it.I cloned my image about 5 days ago and I may go that route, however, I have done things since then and don't want to lose the data. Before I load the HP Recovery disks (4 of them, and I had to order them for free except pay for shipping), is there a repair option?

I was given a Pavilion DV9000z by my sister who had purchased a replacement for herself. She wiped the two installed hard drives and clean installed windows 7. It appears that there is a 100MB systemm reserved partiion on one disk (total size 320GB, the rest of which was unpartitioned when I got it), and the operating system was loaded on the second disk (120 GB).I had a dead Vista laptop which had a 100GB SATA drive. I wanted to reformat it to have as a sppare. If I pull either one of the original drives out it won't boot. If I take out the 320 GB drive (with the 100MB partition) the laptop either goes black screen (if I move the 120 GB drive into the primary bay) or tries to boot Vista (if I put the scavanged hard drive in the primary bay), or tells me operating system files are lost (if I pull the 120 GB drive and replace it with the scavanged drive).So it appears to me that the 100MB partition on the 320 GB drive is waht the system is booting from, but that it won't load Windows 7 unless the second drive is also there.Is there any way to move the system reserved partition to the 120 GB drive? Or the operating system files to the 320 GB drive? It scares me that if either drive dies, the system won't boot.

Almost every Windows application that tries to deal with my new Blu-Ray drive via a Windows dialogue insists on trying to format the BD-R disk first.
You can't format a BD-R disk, it's write-once and formatting would effectively destroy the disk, at $4 a pop.
BD-R disks don't need formatting, those applications that can handle them properly and independently do just fine without formatting.
If I tell it "no, don't format the thing", then Windows insists there's no disk in the drive.
How can I tell Windows 7/64 SP1 to quit trying to format BD-R disks, and recognize them correctly?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium, 32bit. I used System Tools and did a Disk Cleanup. However, when I tried to boot it up after the process, it asked for my Administrator Password. Why we have to have an Administrator User Account, I have no idea--especially when you can't get into it. I don't remember putting a password on for the Administrator Account. I have another User Account that I can get on the computer with, but I have pictures, videos, documents, etc. on the Administrator Account that I now cannot recover. Is there anything I can do, other than reinstalling Windows?

My computer has two 1GB HDDs.Disk C: is the boot disk and is running Windows 7 64 bit upgraded from Vista 64.Can I use the same Win 7 disk (and key) to install to Drive E: as a clean install? I think the new installation would pickup a dual boot system and give me the option as to which I wanted to use.I understand that I can't use the same disk for two different machines.But can I use it for two installations on the same machine?
