On a PC I'm working with at home. It was on Vista but now i want a clean install but i have MS office and Digital suite 2006 and I was wondering is there anyway of copying them over? Without doing an Upgrade.
I'm currently experiencing a strange problem with my laptop. Whenever I certain gaming program run in the background (not in focus) the applications seem to shift back and forth from from "Running" and "Not Responding" almost like it constantly refreshes itself (every 3 or so seconds). However, if I keep one of those programs in focus, the problem doesn't occur as often. The task bar always seems to be moving as a result of this (almost doing a dance if I open enough programs that have this problem).I've tried updating drivers, installed all service packs, scanned computer with Malware Bytes, Norton.I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit 6.1 (7061), ATI Mobile Radeon HD 5650
On some nights my computer works perfectly fine, I can surf the net without incident, open applications, play games etc and everything appears to be fine.Then there are the other nights (which are increasing in frequency) where the computer boots up fine but then I run into application after application which refuses to load - I will click on the application and the "loading" icon will appear on screen and then just stay there.The only way out is to cntrl-alt-delete and bring up task manager, but this can also then refuse to either load or - if it does - will not respond when I click on the first offending application in an attempt to close that down.I also noticed on the last few nights that when trying to start a particular game clicking on the icon would appear to have activated nothing - yet when I attempted to start it again I would get a message saying that I couldn't start the game until the one I had running had been shut down - but nothing appeared to be running.My computer was built in January of this year. I have regularly run disk cleanups etc and run virus checks at least once a week and nothing shows up.
I have a post-secondary student who will be taking his exams in our office. He uses a text to speech reader (TTS) along with whatever program his text requires. I want to lockdown the computer as much as possible.For instance, one week he may need his TTS with word. The following week he may need his TTS with Excel and the internet. What is the best way to lockdown the pc, based on the fact that each week he will need access to different applications?
Does anyone know if running 32 bit applications on the 64 bit edition of windows 7 will impact performance. My new laptop is consistently slow and unresponsive yet the task manager shows memory usage of just over 50% (2.1Gigs out of 4Gigs) and the CPU usage is minimal (like 20->30%). One thing I do notice on the resource manager though is that a significant number of the processes running are post-fixed with *32 which I believes indicates that they are 32 bit applications. Could this explain why my machine is so slow? Or should there be no significant overhead to running 32 bit applications? Also, if there is a significant overhead why does it not show up as increased memory/CPU usage rather than just making the machine unresponsive and slow?
My laptop has 2 plugs for headplugs, so I was wondering If i had 2 applications, for example, if I had a movie playing and music in windows media player, can the movie go to one headphone and the music to the other?
I am using windows 7. In the start every application that i downloaded installed correctly. But now it started showing problem. No application is installing and shows dialogue box saying check your internet connection and firewall settings. My internet connection is working good and to check firewall settings i disabled it but still no programs or applications are installing. Also updates of some programs are not working. (I am using eset security)?
i use window 7 home premium Gateway laptop NV52. yesterday, i opened file location on an icon on destop and on that interface, i tampered with the "open with" and my entire applications and files on windows changed. any of the "open with" options like window media, paint, picture viewer, adobe etc entirely changes my applications and files. even window files were affected. if i try opening a file, it will show me adobe reader or any few mentioned above cannot open this file. i tried using system restore and program access default on control panel but to no avail. so folders on my control panel attempts opening with any of the choosen file above. my exe. files cant open.
I cannot open many applications in Windows 7 including Firefox, MS Word, and Excel. Some that do open will freeze during use. I suspect that a virus or malware could be causing these problems. The applications open in Windows Safe Mode okay. Here's the Hijackthis and DDS log:
Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.4 Scan saved at 11:38:51 AM, on 08/01/11 Platform: Windows 7 SP1 (WinNT 6.00.3505) MSIE: Internet Explorer v9.00 (9.00.8112.16421) Boot mode: Safe mode with network support
It seems all my applications are acting up so I have to use a separate computer. I know its not a virus since I never accessed the internet but all my applications went hay-wire, if I double click for example: notepad, it tries to open up internet explorer then shuts that down and asks me to run or save the file application, either choice I make causes the screen requesting those two options to reappear over and over. It all started when I made my falloutnewvegas.exe try to open with the falloutnewvegaslauncher which was the only one allowing the game to launch. so after that every application has a internet explorer icon in the middle of it with a blank page.
I'm seeing some odd issues with stanard windows services. Windows Management Interface, Security Center or Windows Update svchost.exe processes gobble up a ton of ram and nothing will execute until that svchost process is killed. This includes already open and new tabs in Chrome browser.I will post TSG SysInfo and HijackThis after I reboot. I already can't run/install either with this attempt.
From looking at others' questions, this seems to be a recurring problem under Windows for a long time. My version: running Windows 7, 64-bit, with Spyware Doctor. Several applications fail to close on exit, and I have to manually close them in Task Manager before they will work again. Always happens with Outlook 2007, Google Chrome, sometimes happens with Firefox and Acrobat Reader. Outlook also hangs on the last message in a "send and receive" operation.
I am experiencing a strange problem with my Windows 7 for last 2-3 weeks. When I use any application, suddenly Help Windows for application will pop up and it will not go away. If I try to close it, it opens again. This problem is spread across applications. Help Windows come up for SQL server, Microsoft Word and IE. Sometimes Help Windows won't let me do anything and I have to restart. It was only annoying till now but this problem seems to be spreading.I have checked F1 key and it is not stuck. Problem seems to be happening since I installed SQL server 2008 R2 around a month ago. I have Lenovo G450 with Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) installed.
I have a mystery I need to solve. I updated an Access application on a Network share. Users have a shortcut on their desktops pointing to the application as follows: Target: \Chtg02PublicGeneralReports and statsWTGReportsWTG_General.accdb All WinXP users see the updated application when they double click the shortcut, one Win7 user gets the previous version of the application when he double clicks the same shortcut. Questions: 1. Is Win7 caching the application? Where? 2. If 1. is yes, how do I refresh the cache manually?
system details: Win 7 professional 32bit OS..my OS got corrupted. need to reinstall it.i have installed many applications. its a pain to reinstall all those applications and drivers after i reinstall OS. is there a way i can backup only applications and drivers and not any OS component in my C drive? i tried to use builtin backup feature. unfortunately it backs up everything in c drive including windows files.
For example, if I'm typing in Word, randomly the Word application/window will get unselected, as if I clicked something else. I won't be able to type anymore until I click the Word window again, it's pretty annoying too since I'm a fast typer. And this happens with everything. Games, browsers, etc. I've also noticed when I have something fullscreened, like a video or a game, after a few minutes the start bar at the bottom of my screen pops up, and I'm assuming whatever was fullscreened got "unselected," and that's why the menu bar pops up. I have McAfee (I'm about ready to uninstall it), and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and I've checked my computer many times but nothing has come up. This has been happening for over a month and I've just about had it.
If I start up any application that i have to type in, every minute or so it is like the mouse clicks off the window and I cant type until I click on the application again. Same thing with any Full Screen application, (game, video, ETC.). While an application is running full screen, every minute or so the application minimizes and I have to restore it. If its a video, it will take it out of full screen but it keeps playing.
I'm about to upgrade from xp to 7. My challenge is to move my installed apps without completely reinstalling. Please bear with me on this one, but how does this sound.
I purchased my machine 4 years back with the Vista o/s. I (and cubase, the main app which I purchased the laptop for) hated vista so I downgraded to XP Pro, which was far more stable at the time. As a result, I have a full, paid for copy of vista which I can use. I have, over the past few years, collected a vast array of apps, not all of which I have the instal media for. Also, the process of re-installing ALL of my applications would be hugely lengthy, time consuming, mind-numbingly boring, etc, etc. Would it be possible to upgrade to windows 7 via vista and keep all of my applications. To avoid instability, I thought I could then back up with Acronis, wipe the drive and do a clean install of windows 7, then reimport my apps/docs/settings etc from Acronis. Am I missing something or is this going to stand a fair chance of working?
Just recently I've been having some difficulties with an error that has shown itself on two programs so far, but no others. The first is Puush, and it's screenshot is here:Originally I thought my computer was having problems with just Puush, but I found another program that this happens to. It's FileHippo.com's update checker. Here is the screenshot of that one:I've tried everything I could think of, and everything I could find online.
When I click on a website's "download" button, I immediately get a message box which says " "C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Local\Temp\[for example]wfxiIAci.exe.part" could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location".
Some applications wont install on Win7 eg; Glary Utilities, Iolo System Mechanic 10.1.2 update,Malwarebytes Anti-malware plus some others i cant remember. As soon as the installation gets to Extracting files the progress bar stops and the entire system freezes neccessitating a hard reboot. Other progams install without a problem?
My computer was "sleeping". Now when starting apps like Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome, etc, I get an WerFault.exe error: "The instruction at 0x0000002b referenced memory at 0x0000002b. The memory could not be written". However, is does not affect IE or app that came with the OS.
Window 7 Ultimate 64bit, memory test did not indicate hardware failure, virus scan from live cd detected nothing.
No matter what the application I am trying to print from, as soon as I hit Print or Control + P the program crashes. Even when I was trying to print a test page, as soon as I hit the button Windows Explorer crashed. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit with Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM. The printer set as default is HP F4235, and I have already gone to the HP website and reinstalled the print driver[CODE]
I have used 64 bit version of Windows 7 to test the shortcuts, screenshots are included to give you a visual impression.Firstly, use [Windows key] and [R] to invoke the run command box:
1) Character Map = charmap.exe very useful for finding unusual characters.
I have a new ASUS laptop which has been working fine since I have got it, I used to have a gaming computer. For some random reason now, this has only started happening today, when I go to follow a hyperlink in any Microsoft Office program, steam or skype it doesn't follow, it doesnt do anything at all. If I try to use a hyperlink in a email in Microsoft Outlook it says I don't have the administrative rights to do this. I am the only user of the laptop D:I don't know what I've done to make this happen, I remember this happened to me before on Windows 7 Home Premium before on my PC D:?
I was on my laptop then all of a sudden its like "Gonna shutdown " shuts itself down, then restarts itself. Upon restarting it decided that it doesn't want to open up any applications whatsoever. I've tried checking the .exe registry, but it seems to be perfectly fine.
Don't really have the money to bring it in and get it fixed...any suggestions on what I should do? Aside from throwing it out the window in frustration.
I am using a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I have been facing this problem for quite some time now, but did not bother to solve it. When I click on some of my programs and stuff, they do not start up, but instead the black command box pops up briefly and disappears, and nothing else happens. This has occurred on several programs only, though I forgot most of them, one of them is CCleaner.exe . I managed to solve that by troubleshooting compatibility, and running it on Windows' recommended settings. Alot more of the other programs which failed to start up before, e.g. Windows Live Messenger, started up after I troubleshooted compatibility. However, recently I decided to defragment my hard drive (after a long time of not doing so), and after I clicked on the "Analyze Disk" button, or the "Defragment disk" option, the black box appears briefly, and disappears, and nothing happens again.
