Does Windows 7 Have A Soft-Restart Function The Way 98/XP Did
Dec 10, 2012As I'm sure many of you already know, older Windows versions 95/98/XP had a way of soft-rebooting Windows; it essentially allowed you to reboot the system without actually turning the machine off.
In the older versions, I believe you just held the shift button down after clicking Restart until it rebooted back to desktop without turning the mechanical parts off completely.
Does Win7 have a function like this? Or does there exist at least some kind of workaround for all the reboots required during software install/Uninstall?

Dec 19, 2009I can't get Shrew to work with my RV042 in Windows 7 (64-bit). All computers are using Windows 7 Professional. Here's the rest:
Shrew Version 2.1.5
Firmware 1.3.12.19-tm
Firewall disabled
Multicast Pass Through enabled
IKE with preshared key
VPN Pass Through enabled
Shrew hangs on "bringing up tunnel," right after preshared key configured.The debug log states that IKE packet gets sent with no response, and negotiation times out.
Constant Soft Hangs, Freezes, No BSOD?
Jun 8, 2012I just did some upgrades to my pc. Here are the current specs:
Motherboard: Crosshair V
CPU: AMD FX 6100
GPU: eVGA GTX 680 HC
RAM: 4x4GB Ballistix Tactical Tracer
PSU: Corsair 750Watt
OS: Windows 7 x64 Clean Install
HD: WDC-WD2500KS-00MJB0
Like it says above, this is a clean install. I have tested the RAM with Memtest86+ for 8 hours and found no errors. I have tested the HD with Seatools and found no errors. I have run Prime95 for hours without errors. I water cool my CPU and GPU and temps max at 37C.The OS constantly hangs, freezes, or whatever its called NONSTOP. Most of the time I'm able to move the mouse but can't DO anything with it. Eventually (within minutes) it comes back to life and does everything I'd been trying to do while it was frozen. I don't get much time inbetween freezes (a minute max between freezes). I've reinstalled the OS several times and no joy. At first I thought it was a bad motherboard, so I RMA'd it and it is still having the same issue. These freezes began happening well before video drivers were even installed (or any other drivers for that matter). It even does the same thing in SAFE MODE.from the EVENT VIEWER:
In the last hour: 19 Service Control Manager Error 7001
In the last hour: 44 amd_sata Warning 129 (this one always comes in pairs and always 30 seconds apart)
In the last hour: 169 Service Control Manager Information 7036

Feb 26, 2010I would like to know if Shrewsoft VPN Client can be installed on Windows 7 (32 Bit) with Checkpoint & Cisco Clients already installed. I have both Checkpoint & Cisco Clients installed on Windows 7, with the respective services set to manual, and both clients are co-existing without any problem. Since I also support Juniper SSG boxes, and since Juniper has NOT YET come out with a client which supports Windows 7, I was wondering if I can use Shrewsoft client instead (which is reported to work fine with Juniper SSG).
Previously I had Vista on which all the 3 - namely Checkpoint, Cisco & Juniper (SafeNet) clients were working beautifully. But Vista being Vista, I had no choice but to upgrade to Windows 7.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFormat HD With Too Many Bad Sectors?
Jan 16, 2013This notebook started to behave badly and I found that the problem is the HDD.ItFor you to get the scenario: I first ran the Windows native disk tool and it reported no problem. But the system was still slow and freezing.So I made some googling and ran Check Disk GUI, but it couldn't complete its job. So I started to figure out that the thing was a bit harder than I first thought.I tried to defrag and optimize with Auslogics Disk Defrag Portable, and it too couldn't go all the way.I tried PartitionGuru, which, finally, could do the job � in more than 48 hours of disk scan! And it reported: "Disk verify completed. 548 bad track areas found."After all that, things went worse: I couldn't start Windows, I got a "Missing operating system" message...Then I tried Wondershare LiveBoot 2012 to no avail.The last effort I want to try is use some portable app (running from a USB pen drive) to format the whole HDD.The HDD in question has three partitions. C: (system), D: (data, I created this partition), and a hidden one that keeps the data needed to restore the Acer notebook to its factory settings.If I succeed to format the whole thing, I'll try to make a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium. I want to format the whole HDD (from a USB pen drive) to have one single partition.

Feb 23, 2012I made a chkdsk and found errors which were repaired by not allowing the bad fragments to be written on. When I use chkdsk /v it continually shows 8kb in bad sectors. Does anyone know if these are the bad sectors that were sent into limbo or the total bad kb on the hard drive? I have made back ups of my documents and the OS. I think that these bad sectors were caused by a recent freeze which required a bad shutdown. If so I may not be required to replace the harddrive.

Apr 17, 2009I get my PC configured and set up exactly how I like it, and then my 1 year old hard drive conks out on me!
I did a CHKDSK and it had some bad sectors and plenty of file corruption. Ran the Hitachi DFT software and it seemed to think it has rescued it, but I'm using another drive now just in case.
Luckily I could still access my e-mails when I accessed the drive from another system, and everything else is backed up via Acronis.
Windows 7 Finally Installed / Bad Sectors?
Jan 17, 2012I've been having problems with installing a fresh OS because my harddrive. When I began the clean installation process my hard drive started clicking periodically (which didn't happen till I started) I was able to partition around these bad sectors and get the OS installed. I am now sitting at a clean desktop with the computer running fine.However, I know that these bad sectors will cause problems later and I'm wanting to know what I should do now. Is there anything I can do to kill these bad sectors and ensure my hard drive to stay proper? I realize that this shows my hard drive is going bad, but I feel if I can get this taken care of then I can keep the hard drive a while longer.

Jan 18, 2012I have installed windows 7 x64, the installation went fine, it runs fine, no bsods, no crashes, no restarts, no freezes, no slowdown. Basically it just runs fine, all updates installed fine.
Now, I did a scan on the HDD, and it has bad sectors pending. I imaged the windows to another HDD.Loaded onto the other HDD, it boots fine, runs fine, idles fine, installed a few things, checked the files system, ran chkdsk ( just fix box, not the second box to repair ), all OK.So my question is, how can I know if the bad sectors on old HDD had any damage to the windows installation, and thus on the new HDD?

Hard Drive Diagnostics Report Bad Sectors?

At the moment, my computer cannot even boot up in normal or safe mode, all my restore points have been deleted, and startup repair cannot do anything.After backing up my data and running a test with the Seagate SeaTools diagnostics in DOS, it was reported that there were bad sectors found on my Hard Disk.

Mar 28, 2012so i have a blue yeti, and i'm an online animator/voice actor. whenever i record audio on my blue yeti (or any other mic) i record about 4-6 inches from the mic, and turn the gain down enough that the audio doesn't peak as i yell or whatever. this is what you're supposed to do if you don't want your audio levels peaking and making your recording sound horrible and corrupted. however, afterwards, it means i have really quite recordings. not a problem right? now that it's recorded right, i can boost the volume of the entire clip afterwards right? wrong. i'm not an audio expert so i must be missing something. but why in gods name would the audio distort and peak after it's recorded successfully? it's all there, it's all clean audio. if i turn the volume on my speakers all the way up it sounds crystal clear! all i want to do is do that inside the computer so that when i upload it to Internet people don't have to turn their speakers so far up. but if i increase the clips volume in the computer, it distorts! it sounds awful! why?! i tried in sony acid and audacity and they both do the same thing! i can take sound effects, and recordings made by other producers and crank them up nice and loud, but mine just fall apart!

Oct 24, 2012I am working with Windows 7 on a Dell Optiplex 755, but teh issue is with the System Volume setting. When I go to the audio mixer and do the test and configuration, the SoundMax audio level is loud and clear. The problem is with the Windows system settings somewhere, is there a limiter or cap setting in teh registry that I can set to maximum? I know that it is not the standard slide bars/levels but somewhere that Windows 7 Professional is cutting the volume on any Windows application. The drivers are fine, if I invoke the card directly it will blast the sound out. But in any application it is too soft.
