Mar 14, 2012
i need internet explorer 8 in order to work with sharepoint sites but i have ie9 so i need to download ie8 but cant seem to find the right version for windows 7
I've just realized a strange bug, when I open "My computer" or just "Computer" in vista/Windows 7, when I double click or when I right click and then choose "open", it, most of the times, opens two instances of this hard drive. For instance, if I double click on the c: drive, it opens two identical windows with the content of C:
I've included the psr file, you can see that it opens two instances of the windows. Just unzip the file and open it and you'll see the problem.
This is my first post/thread on TH.Anyways, I Just recently bought a laptop for HS, about half a month old. Everything Ran fine , Until My computer decided to not work anymore.
I did a system restore from a repair disk and fixed, the only catch, norton reinstalled. I had uninstalled norton and when I did a system restore, the program probably sent it's server a "scam" alert as the program didn't respond after, So I had to uninstall it manually, removing the files and all the registry entres. Now, week later, I notice that my computer is downloading EPICALLY slow. My speed is 11mbs, on my alternate computer, it will download a 11 mb file in less then a second, but on the laptop, 25 minutes? No way is that possible.
I did some registry scans, with wisecare 365, fixed the registry and download time has come down to 13 seconds, which is still crazy long,
My computer is becoming increasingly slow and unresponsive, after running several virus scans and degraments also ive rebooted my system, Now i've found that the entire computer freezes and comes up with "windows .exe not respinding, this program may respond if you wait" but it doesnt, my computer runs fine if i start it in safe mode but i'd much rather fully resolve the problem.
Windows 7 slow to explore and most times not able to access NAS drives. I have a Mac that can access these same drives with no issue so I rule out the drives being at fault.
When I right-click a file and click Delete (or alternately use File, Delete) in Windows Explore, there is about a 20-30 second lag time before the Delete File dialog box opens to confirm I want to move the file to the Recycle Bin. If I use Shift+Click, there is the same long lag to the Dialog to ask me if I'm sure I want to permanently delete the file. When I click Yes, the Delete is immediate. I tried using the ShellExView utility to disable and enable each shell extension I was suspicious of with no luck.
I wanted to ask, if games, who are compatible to Windows XP and Windows Vista, run on Windows 7 too? I wanted to buy a game over the internet, it says it runs at Windos XP and Vista, as its an older game from time, when Windows 7 wasn't released.
On my desktop PC I run Win 7 Premium 64bit and I also have a new Dell XPS 16 with Win 7 64 bit Professional laptop connected to a homegroup with the desktop using wireless wi.fi. It works perfectly. I need to add an HP laptop to the homegroup network with a wireless connection. Connection to the homegroup is fine but the HP, running Vista, cannot connect to the internet. The HP laptop has no need to share files or anything on the homegroup except maybe the printer, once in a while. The homegroup has excellent access to the internet, the HP has access to the homegroup but no access to the internet.IP and DNS servers are set at "Automatically connect.." Router is a Billion 7800N with latest firmware. The desktop is in my home office, the Dell in the family room (about 30' one wall) the HP is in an adjacent bedroom (about 20' with two walls). The dell works superbly in that bedroom. Core two quad 2.8 Ghz (Q6600_ 9600GT GPU I cannot sort this one out.
If you export keys, etc, from the regisrty...is there a way to view or explore those exported or save keys, etc, separate and apart from the main registry filIf I click on saved *.reg (exported keys) I get "do you want to make changes to the registry" pop-up
I have a vista computer that won't connect to the internet. The Ipv6 is on limited and the Ipv4 is on local. When I click diagnose it says I need to: reboot the modem or router, get new IP settings, or reset the network adapter. I have done all of them. I also tried disabling Ipv6. It still does not work. I get an internet connection on all of my other computers.
When I open Explore, it opens at Desktop/Libraries. Since I do 99% of my work in a single folder C:/Work, I want it to open there.(Also similar problem on my Vista 64 machine... opens to Roaming/Windows/Microsoft/StartMenu?
I have a quad core-processor, and I'm unsure what effects W7 will have on my pc atm. I'm running 64bit/32bit.When I upgrade to the W7 from vista will I need to download both versions or can I just download the 64bit and my processor run fine?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OEM (with free Windows 7 upgrade). I want to reformat the computer. After installing Vista, do I need to download Vista updates, before installing Windows 7? Or just immediately install Windows 7 after Vista? Also, how often do you do a fresh install (reformat)?
Can a HDD that has documents and pictures I would like to save, that also has windows vista on it and move it to a Win 7 computer reformat the HDD I want to recover?
I am going to buy a Windows 7 laptop, but I have had experience with Windows 7 and personally hate it, so when I get this laptop I want to revert back to Vista operating system... How do I do it? Can the Vista be downloaded from Microsoft's website, or do I need to buy Vista in a CD?
My computer originally came with Vista. I began to have issues with navigating in "My Computer", as it would often freeze and make it nearly impossible to use at times. I received a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I had hoped would solve my issues. It did not, unfortunately. Is there any way that I could remove all the Vista files from my computer
I'm trying to ugrade from Vista to Widows 7 but keep getting the follwing message: [code] The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.Windows needs to be restarted so necessary changes to system files can be made before continuing.These programs might not work properly after the upgrade. We recommend uninstalling these programs before upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel, and search for "uninstall a program". (Note: Programs marked as * can be safely reinstalled after the upgrade.) iTunes (Please deauthorize computer prior to upgrade)I have already deauthorised it but it continues to come up.
I purchased a retail copy of Windows 7 Upgrade and installed it about a year ago. It detected my Vista installation but I reformatted and did a clean install. It activated no problem.I now want to wipe my Hard drive and start fresh...but I have an important question.Will my upgrade license key allow me to reinstall Windows 7 without putting Vista back on the computer first? I want to do a clean install. I understand that Upgrade keys need to "see" a previous Windows version in the setup program before you re-format the drive.But, this is the second install of Win7; wouldn't the setup detect that I have an installed copy of Windows 7 before I format?
i need urgent assistance to be able to download from the internet again as it shows I cant download anything from internet. It is showing choose an application to download file.
I've been working with I.T. for years, and when I went to a client's last night to share a drive over the network so they can install a program on a secondworkstation and use the database on the original machine. Anyway, sharing this drive shouldn't have taken me more than five minutes. However, I'm encountering problems I've never seen before. The Win7 PC sees the Vista PC on the network, but not any of the shared drives. And when I try to explore the Vista PC from the Win7 PC, I get an errors: ""Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (Vista PC) is not responding."Both PCs are on the same network, obviously, AV software and Windows firewall disabled on both, Homegroup off on Win 7 machine, both machines on same workgroup "WORKGROUP," set with static local IPs/DNS, etc., and both able to access network resources and the internet. One thing I HAVE noticed, however, is that when exploring the network on the Vista PC, I can't see anything (including the Win7 machine,) except the Vista PC itself and the router.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Even the SFC on the Vista PC didn't find any issues. I've checked the services, and all that should be running are set to Auto, and are started and running. I've looked for hours online, trying every possible option I can find, to no avail. I'm completely stumped! Never in my years in IT have I encountered this.
I have HP laptop with windows Vista and there is drivers for windows 7. I have several programs and I don't want to lose them and install them again. I want to upgrade from Vista but some people tell me that the laptop will be slow and it is better to have fresh install of windows 7 instead of upgrading.
Which is better for an older computer? Vista or Windows 7? I've got a Pentium 4 3Ghz with 1.5GB of RAM and onboard graphics. Vista seems to be a little much for this old of a computer. Would Windows 7 handle the system better?
