I have been most the day trying to solve these issues and nothing has worked. Basically I moved house couple of weeks ago and just go round to plugging my computer in and these are the issues I am having, whether they are all related I wouldn't know...
1.I can't copy and paste files , whether it's by mouse or keyboard. It seems to work on text by not files.When I try to copy and paste files it makes the noise it doe's like if you were to press an incorrect key .
2.I can't move files from one fold to another or on to my desktop.
3.I can't seem to view any pictures in windows photo viewer it just says loading all the time.
4.I went on to account settings to see if it was to do with administrative properties but I am classed as the admin anyway and even when I click on create a new user or manage user settings (anything with the admin symbol near the option) it just doe's nothing.I Have rebooted,system restored and lots of other things that people have suggested by nothing works , even on safe mode it doe's the same and on hidden admin that i unlocked. I really am stuck. I have just done a sfc /scannow and it says it found corrupted files but couldn't fix them.

I have a folder with around 2000 files in it. I want to be able to copy certain files from this folder (normally around 40) and place them in a brand new folder, I want to be able to do this with nothing more than a txt file that has all the file names I need copying in it with every file name on a separate line.I receive around 10 new txt files each day so you can imagine how tedious it is searching through 2000 files, picking out the 40 I need, times a day everyday.To make things even more complicated, the txt files I receive don't always have the correct file names in them, maybe there's a misspelling or a word or two missing for some of the names. That's ok when I'm going through picking out the files I need to copy myself because I can normally tell which file is being requested, but I can't see it being so easy for a program or whatever to do, I'm guessing it'll need to have a search feature where it picks out the most likely file.I'd like it to be as automated as possible. I receive the txt file, make sure each file name is on a separate line then a program or script or whatever goes out and picks out the files (or most likely files for the name's that aren't exact matches) and copies them into a brand new folder (which I'd like to be the same name as the text file it's using to choose the files).
Wondering if there should be a STICKY, GROUPS or THREADS for TIPS and TRICKS? in this forum -combined perhaps with a wish list that we can send to MSFT every month
Anyway, one thing I really like about OS X is the ability to drag a folder from desktop to computer, then the window auto opens, displaying root, then you can drag over another folder (which opens to display sub root) and so on until you find the place where you want to dump the folder.
Is there a way to do this in Win 7 (or Vista)?
EDIT: NEW = it will allow you to drag a folder from desktop to start button than into my documents folder. Not bad but better than nothing. All we need now is for my documents to open and have it display sub folders and/or the ability to drag anywhere. Advice?
I can burn a normal audio cd, yet i can not get it to burn mp3's (data cd, also says for mp3's in software) i have tried a few burning programs and always get the same result. so i figure its a windows 7 issue.
every time i cut and paste a file/folder. i have to refresh explorer for the file/folder to disappear.example: i cut a file from folder A and paste in folder B. the file does get moved to folder B. However, i can still see the file in folder A, i need to refresh for it to go away.is there a way to fix this? is this normal?using windows 7 32bit (retail) fresh install.
I was unable to move files around in Windows by dragging and dropping. I am fully capable of dragging the files, but as soon as I drop them, they just go right back to where they were. No moving, no copying, no error message, just a lack of anything past me dragging an icon and it resuming its original position.
I am trying to drag and drop files into programs and it wont let me. I tryed re installing W7 but it didnt fix the problem. I dont know what to do it worked fine on my old computer.
So i've come across an interesting "issue" recently. Here at work we are beta testing our Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. There's something that is very quirky about the way items are dragged onto a script files.
Some background into the issue. We use a custom script to submit data in the form of an excel sheet into a database. The script is a .hta file. Under Windows XP and Windows 7 32bit, we were able to just drag and drop the excel file onto the .hta, and it would run the .hta script and format/submit the excel file to our database. Under Windows 7 64bit, when you drag it over the .hta file, it just gives you a red x, and won't allow you to drop it.
Anybody knows if there's a security setting, or an option/registry setting to regain this functionality?
Just upgraded to 7 enterprise from vista ultimate and the first extremely basic operation I try to perform seems to have been taken away!!?
I want to drag jpg files around to re order them in the explorer view (with the ultimate goal of highlighting them all and renaming them so it renames them in numerical order in the new order I set them in! But it doesn't want to let me drag and re order them? Am I being extremely stupid here or has this really been taken out of 7?
I have tried to copy a complete file heirarchy from one drive to a folder on another drive but found several files and folders are not being copied.
There is no report of files missed or any kind of error message.
I am actually trying to copy the contents of a friends hard drive onto a backup drive since he is getting a new computer and wants to ensure nothing is lost. I have mounted his internal 2.5 sata drive in a caddy and am copying it to my computers second internal drive.
I expected not be be able to copy certain system files. I also expected I might not to be able to copy some of his personal files due to the standard windows system protection (I am system administrator on my PC whereas of course he was administrator on his PC where the files and folders were created which I thought might be an issue). When I first tried to view some folders I was asked by the system if I wanted to allow permanent administrator priviliges to them (namely his personal directory under "Users" ). I replied yes and was thereafter allowed to descend into and view those files. Now when I copy the entire heirarchy of some 35GB I find the new folder is only 15GB. It is not just down to any compression as I have confirmed that there is only about 1/3 of the expected number of files to what was in the original. I have since tried individually copying some of the sub-folders that were missed and they copy fine on their own. As you can imagine, trying to dentify what has copied and what has not is a mammoth undertaking.
I have an HP desktop running Windows 7 Professional, and a Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. I am having the following problem on both computers:
I cannot drag and drop files to a blank CD on either machine. If I put a blank CD-R (or CD-RW) in the drive, then open Computer, then click on the CD's icon, I get an error message: "Windows can't read the disc in drive E: Make sure that the disc uses a format that Windows recognizes. If the disc is unformatted, you need to format it before using it."If I right click, then click "Open," or "Open with," I get the same message. There are no options to format the disk.
I have tried uninstalling the drive through device manager, then rebooting and letting the computer find and reinstall it, but that does not solve the problem. I have tried running the Troubleshooter, but it finds nothing wrong.
Two interesting things to add to all this: First, My wife's Toshiba laptop works fine. I can take the exact same blank CD that my 2 computers cannot write to, put it in her's and drag and drop files to it just fine.
Second, All three computers can then read that CD, and any others that were written on her computer.
I have a new Asus laptop. When I went to burn recovery discs as advised, the instructions popping up on screen were not clear and I ended up moving the files to the temporary burn folder. Eventually I figured out how to proceed with the real burn and did end up with my recovery discs, however I still have the files in temporary burn and am being notified about them every time I turn on my computer. I'm scared if I remove them I will be deleting the actual recovery files.
I have been mostly a Mac user and I have been out of the loop for sometime (5yrs). I have some data that I need to have burned (user folder) that is 10gb. I would like to have this burned to DVD. What is a good program that would allow me to just drag the folder into the program and it will automatically burn multiple DVDs. Is Nero still top notch or has something replaced it? This software would be for a PC.
Enable or Disable, either or and one can figure the other, but Enable or Disable Drag and Drop of Files/Folders in EXPLORER via the Registry. This is NOT about the desktop, NOT the Internet, Not the StartMenu. That should surely narrow it down i hope
I have a similar post but not for WIndows Xp but not Windows 7 and while I am told its similar for XP/7 I have not found the case..... Vista I am told is slightly different yet. But, I am looking for registry edit/tweak under a similar key such as in the HKCU or HKLM as listed (should be close):
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanc ed
Whether I was off on the timing/correation I have tried the following Keys/Subkey names: EnableDragDrop, DisableDragDrop, DragDrop, DragAndDrop....... noe of these seem to have an effect.
I toyed with these but were not any of the issue (or before): HKCUSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settingsones...
Uploaded some photos to a dedicated file on my pc from my camera. I used to be able sort them into their dedicated files, but today I tried and I couldn't do it. The same happens with my emails if I want to save them to their dedicated folder, i.e.: friends info etc. I am not being able to drag and drop files where I want them to go.
My desktop view has some folders and Icons on the Desktop which I use and I cannot re-arrange and move them as stay fixed dotted all over my screen view or delete files on desktop in any method like drop and drag to recycle bin all seems frozen then I sometimes turn PC on and everything on desktops frozen then I reboot and can use but the icons remain fixed and unmovable in tradition drop and drag as you can grab but go straight back to the desktop positions.
In windows 7....before removing teracopy msg error-file integrity violated used to come but now no error msg appears on screen...unable to copy,cut and paste.
My burner is PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16ABS ATA Device (16x). I'm running Window 7 64 bit with Intel i5, 4 GB Ram on a Dell Inspiron 620s desktop. Earlier I had no issues at all burning DVD-Rs. But all of a sudden when I try to burn videos I get "unspecified recorder error". I used the same brand media as earlier (Sony) and tried many different disks but to no avail. Tried Nero 8 & Imgburn, but both don't work. I can burn the same files to CD-R & DVD-RW. I can also burn data files to DVD-R but not videos & ISO. Tried restarting the computer & updating the driver. Just one time, the disk wouldn't eject & had to use a pin to manually eject. What could possibly have gone wrong? The burner's lowest speed is 6x,
i have a Studio XPS 435T/9000 with a plds dvd +-rwdh-16aas burner. the drive dosen't register on my hardware, and will not respond when a c.d. is placed into it. (Auto play does not work).i've downloaded several drivers for 64 bit from dell, but it conflicts when extracted. (Says i have a 64 bit system and will not work.)
Running Remote Desktop from Windows 7 Ultimate x64 to Windows Server 2003 Std. Can't copy a file from Windows 7 and paste to WS03 or vice-versa.
No problem with copy/paste text from an app on Windows 7 to an app on WS03. Three other machines in the office running Windows 7 Pro x64 to the same WS03 machine have no copy/paste problems.
Tried Safe Mode--no luck. Tried terminating rdpclip.exe on WS03 and restarting--no luck.
I have a 120GB SSD for system etc. I have a 1TB HDD for everything else. How do I change the default program files folders (x86 and regular) so that when I am installing a program the first choice is on this second drive instead of C?
I am having a problem with my Windows 7 Pro edition when burning data to a CD-RW.When I add new data to existing data already burned on the CD-RW, the data has been written correctly to the disk, but when I view the disk after writing the new data, I never see the new data...the only data I see is the data that was written to the CD-RW at the FIRST burning. When I place my CD-RW in my other computer with Windows XP, all the data appears...initial burning and all subsequent burnings; place it in my Windows 7 CD drive and NO secondary data is showing.In one program I have for burning, I actually get a dialog box saying "the data has been written correctly to the disk, but the number of files does not match the expected file count. Most likely, the file system structure has not been written correctly and some files will not appear on the disk." What is going on with this "file system structure has not been written correctly?"This is a new wrinkle in the sheet for me. I have 5 CD/DVD read/write drives, and they all work the same...only initial files show and other files are not visible when re-burning to a CD-RW. It is really a new Agatha Christie mystery to me.
i have a question. I downloaded the windows 7 upgrade and i want to do a clean install. is it possible to burn the files onto a dvd? or do i have to put them on a portable usb? the files that are on my desktop are setup1.box and setup2.box and Windows 7-HP-Retail-en-us-x86.exe
what and how do i burn these files? i need to boot with the files to do a clean install
my CD drive will not burn any CD, it reads them ok when i put in an audio cd or a driver CD but everytime i try to burn something it fails. Is is very loud when tryin to do this and seems to be reving up and stoppin before it spits out the CD. I have tried burning with Nero, what i always use and also tried WMP and got the same result. Could the disk drive be broke?? is there a command i can run in cmd maybe like chkdsk to check it??
