I have a new Dell Unit XPS 8300 and when I got it, I had to put in a password in a "boxed" area before I started windows. I since removed the password, and now I want to put it back in a "box". When I boot up, I get "password or name incorrect" then i hit enter, then I can put in my password. I just want a "box" like it was before.
I am attempting to setup Homegroup for first time on new computer, I was asked to set a password. The first pw was only 7 letters. It was rejected as requiring 8 letters. Attempted to re-enter new password and program states its the wrong password.When I go to the homegroup page there is no link to see and change password.

college are messing around with computers and are trying to get his personal one pretty much all on a starcraft theme. We have been getting pretty far, his OS is Windows 7 Build 7600. We want to get it so that if a wrong password is entered, it says "Access Code Denied" in the old starcraft synthesized-like female voice. We have the audio clips, but we need to figure out how to incorporate that sound. It's obviously not in Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds, as I found out did some intensive googling, and I came to the conclusion that it involves a bit of registry adding and visual basicOn an event like "windows logon" there is a linked .dll filemmres.dll -5853Really it says this, verbatim:[CODE]

I have a toshiba satellite L505 it boots I get the password screen it's blue looks more like bios password it certainly not the windows boot splash screen I have tried a couple of password freebies it won't recognize cd rom, or flash stick...it goes directly to the old blue screen box like if you are resetting you use the f2 f8 f10 f12 key as booting, but that even asks for a password?
I have set up a Windows 7 machine that shares out a hard drive as a network share along with printers to our network. On another computer I was mapping the network drive and accidentally entered the wrong credentials (wrong user name) and choose the remember credentials setting, and it would not let me map the drive.
I tried to go back in and remap the drive again but Windows is remembering the user name/password and I can't map it. I can map the drive from any other computer just fine. Does anyone know how to make Windows forget the credentials so I can map the drive?
i want to creat new user in AD ,but this message appear: password doesn't meet password policy, before i change some policies but now they are not defiend
I am trying to do a clean install of my brothers old xp pro laptop. I have done this many times but for some reason it does not want to work today. I have the boot sequence set to dvd drive, I inserted the disc and it acts like it wants to boot the white line just blinks but then the laptop starts it boot up like it couldn't read the disc. But after it gets all booted up it shows that their is an xp pro disc in the drive?
My SSD was running on a wei score of 7.8, i have done nothing recently to cause this to change but i checked up on my wei score recently and suddenly its back to 5.9 .I discovered the problem is that in the detailed analysis, and its reading my HDD as the primary hard disk.I refreshed the wei and it still comes out as 5.9, i have no idea why this has happenedthere is no reason for it to have happened as i have changed nothing as of recent. So basically my question is how do i make wei read my ssd instead of my hdd as the primary hard disk like it was before?
[code] On CPU ID (ver 1.59) the max bandwidth for both the RAMS shows only 667MHz. Is this because the PC is idling/ not doing RAM intensive tasks or something else? Im not sure under which Category/sub- category this comes under.
I recently suffered a trojan virus attach and ultimately have changed my password on my email server.I have tried to reset it to the new password in Windows mail multiple times. It keeps reverting to the old password as the saved password, and I continually have to retype in the new password. I tried resetting the password to nothing, and rebooting, and the old password comes back again.There must be a preference file or an ini file that I can edit. Can I do that without loosing my address book, etc.?
When I start my computer I get a bunch of error messages. Multiple things not working. I've seen a few similar issues posted here and I've tried the suggestions but they didn't work. I've tried running maintenance tasks, but they crash in the middle (related to the error messages I think). I also had the problem of whenever I started my computer or opened it, the internet would shut off. My screen would blink off and then on. I've checked for viruses, run multiple anti-spyware, and tried restoring my computer.
I originally had Vista Ultimate x64 and Windows 7 x64 dual booting fine.
I had a problem with Windows 7 - my fault- needing me to restore an Acronis backup.
I still am able to dual boot but Windows 7 now uses the Vista boot up sequence up to the Welcome screen, i.e. it does not show the sexy new dots morphing into the Windows Logo.
I attempted to upgrade my Vista Ultimate x64 to Win 7 Ultimate x64 yesterday and the upgrade process failed.
The install rolled back to my Vista install and all is good, but I really want to upgrade to 7 (and not do a clean install)
Can anyone help me out with how to diagnose what may have gone wrong with the upgrade? Is there an install log file somewhere that I can have a look at to discover the problem?
I think I may know the source of the problem, but would like to confirm it before moving forward.
The upgrade did tell me that my Silicon Image RAID controller may not work properly after the upgrade. But I don't have any drives connected to it. My system drive is a RAID 0 array on my Intel ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID controller.
I've got a question. I have a computer running windows 7 64 bit, Home Premium.The computer name is "Laptop", verified in Computer -> Properties. I have another computer whose name is "Machine-A". For some weird reason, whenever I do "ping Machine-A" on the command line, it would return pinging from 127.0.0.1 . Why does it think "Machine-A" is the computer name?I did "ipconfig /flushdns", and didn't work.Then I did "ipconfig /flushdns" then "ipconfig /registerdns" and did not fix the problem
I recently installed Windows 7. I have a D-link DIR-615 wireless router in my living room and my computer has an adapter in order to connect to the internet. I had Windows XP and didn't experience any problems before. The problem is that when i typed my network password in (using windows 7), it said that the passphrase was wrong. I reseted my router and used the password and it worked just fine, so i dont think that its the router's or the adapter's fault. When i turned my PC on the next day, i experience the same problem. I cannot connect to my network. I was never asked to put my password in again to connect to the network when i was using XP and i cannot reset my router every time i turn my pc on cause there are other people in the house that are using the network. Other computers, laptops and my iphone can connect just fine.

I bought a copy of Windows 7, one pc worth and I installed it to my 32g SSD by accident. I have a 500g HDD just sitting there wishing it had Windows 7 on it and I am curious how I can resolve this situation. I bought the SSD to put my game on it and run it much faster
