How can I convert my programs back to their original state. They are coming up in word pad but they won't open and it says in word p[ad that this program cannot be run in DOS mode
I have been dual booting for about 6 months now with no problems.I installed XP first and then Windows7.When I boot the computer it goes to Windows7.It gives me the option on the screen to choose other operating system which I do.All of a sudden I can't get into XP,it just stays a black screen.So I booted back to 7 and checked the boot menu and only Windows7 is listed,don't know why,it was working fine till now.Is there anyplace on the computer where I can get my original boot menu back.

I went to sleep last night with the computer on (Windows 7 7077) like always and this morning it's still on but none of the usb devices are working, monitor doesn't come back from sleep state but the fans on all the components are still spinning. I tried hard rebooting 3-4 times and still nothing. I let it sit and cool off for a bit and still nothing. Anyone know what the problem could be?
I was thinking it was the motherboard but then wouldn't the ethernet light be off if the board wasn't working? The only thing on the computer the has been overclocked is the CPU which I took from 3.0ghz to 3.8ghz and it's been running fine on the stock cooler for the past 6 months almost and then bam it's like this. I don't think it could of been over heating as the temps usually run 30C at idle and 50-60C at full load and the side is off of it.
During Startup, i need to click the user image to get it enlarged....and that is irritating to me......I did System Restore, things got normal...but when i installed YOUCAM 5 things became my problem....
I had a Windows 7 installation, x64 and recently I installed windows XP, quit Windows 7 for a while. I have a big problem, I have a 160GB SATA2 Maxtor HDD, I first formatted/part'ed when I had installed windows7, and now being back to my xp I cannot browse the partition, the driver letter appears but I cannot access the information, i put the drive in another computer running Windows 7 and all the data was accessible. I tried like a ton of part. managers and no luck so far.
My question is how can I convert my partition back to NTFS from extFS or WinFS?
Google didn't helped me at all, it's been 2 days since I am looking for a solution to this, no result on google (or this forum or other forums for that matter) will give me a compatible partition manager/tool or I am unable to find the keywords for it.
I wanted to make a new partition on my hp laptop on the only disc it as.Unfortunately,because it came with already 4 partitions I accidentally turned the disk into a dynamic disk.Now its booting normally but I cant load the system Image that I have created before the partition.Other than that the pc is running smoothly.As I said this is the only disk on the system.Is it possible to convert the disk back to basic?After a lot of googling I found some exmples but all of them assumed you had a second disk on your system.Is it possible to convert the disk back to basic without having to reinstall windows?(I have no windows cd
i want to back up all other programs & files (music, games, docs, etc), and but not the c:drive system disc, how do i do this using macrium free (or windows back up which ever works best)?
I'm not sure if this is the best category/sub-category, but it seemed like the best option.
I've got two programs - Photoshop Elements 9 and the latest Microsoft Office - that restrict the number of installs. I was told that MS Office allows 3 and Adobe only allows 2.
I have heard that there is a way to back up a program such that if you had to reformat, you could retrieve the program - and so not need to do a reinstall.
Is this true? If so, does anyone know how to do it, either the steps I'd need to take or the program I would need to get?
I watch videos from this site Poker Netcast | Live At The Bike | LABTTheir login is https.Ive been in IT for 15 years and even this has stumped me.When I go to login in IE9 starts looping from the login page to the https page and back to the original page and never ends. I load firefox, same issue. I load Crome, it worked for 1 day then same issue. It used to login in fine last week. It logs in fine on my 2 other PCs and my Kindlefire.I have checked for viruses with Avast and A-Malware Bytes in safe mode - nothing. These 2 pick up 98% of stuff. Personally I dont think its a virusn IE9 - Deleted browsing history, cookies, temp internet files, everything under the Geneeral/Browsing History section. Did a disk cleanup, put the site inthe trusted zone, turned off popup blocker just in case, Cleared SSL state, Reset IE9. Zippo
So I would like to go ahead and update a desktop PC from Vista to Win7, the only setback is, I lost some of the install cd's that I had for programs like Adobe photoshop which was $1500 (CS4) Is there some way that I can basically save the programs and their contents to an external and then put them back onto the PC after it has been given new life?
I accidentally deleted some important files/folders which caused the whole downloaded videos/games get lost in a few minutes,i didnt even notice that it was deleting.I tried system restore but it didnt work,is there any other way to get your systems time back up for 2-3 days back?
i've been having some BSOD, and it's getting worse.My OS is Windows Seven x64, not the original and OEM. The hardware is 3 years old and i re-installed the OS a month ago.
I am using Windows 7 and find new windows open behind my current window. For example, if I am in Outlook and click 'New', the new mail window opens behind the main Outlook window.Also, I do not think the issue is specific to Outlook but I cant repeat it consistently enough with any other application to be sure.
I'm new to windows 7 - which I don't like. Also don't like new laptop but I'm stuck with it till I can save for something else. I wanted to change the default font on the desktop. And after looking around found that you can change the font type by going to personalize, colors, advance. You can't change the desktop font but you can change it for different areas such as the start menu and desktop icons. So I changed the font style to Arial Black for both. But I don't like it. It's too large. But now I cannot seem to restore it back to it's original settings.Can someone tell me how to restore the settings back to default?
- x64 - the original installed OS on the system? Yes - an OEM version - What is the age of system (hardware)? Approx 1 1/2yrs. - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) Original install. Approx 1 1/2yrs.
i was trying to find out on the net how to format my old xbox 360 hdd for pc since i can't use it anyways because i got the new xbox that doesn't use those anymore so i stumbled across a thread showing how to do it and i thought i would explain how to do this so you can use it as a normal external HDD.first what you need is a xbox hdd and a xbox 360 hard drive transfer cable
1.download a tool called Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool link: [URL]
2.once you install that start the hard disk low level format tool and select your xbox 360 HDD?
3.click the tab called low-level format?
4.Then click "format this device" and wait a while for it to finish formatting the xbox hdd?
5.When its finished formatting go to your windows start menu right click on computer and choose manage?
6.click on the tab called disk management and there should be your xbox hdd but un-formated so your going to have to make it NTFS format and right click on it and make a new simple volume. If it does not allow you to make a new simple volume then right click were it says disk on the side like for example disk1 depending how many HDD's your pc has and choose convert to GPT disk,mines already formatted should look similar just without the NTFS and custom named hdd?
7.once that is done it should make your xbox HDD usable on your pc like any normal pc HDD ?
I installed a 60 gig SSD realizing it is too small after windows says there is only 55 gigs on the SSD instead of 60 ? After doing some reading, this is considered normal ?
