Its pretty nice, except that when I get to the login page for windows, it shows a picture of a finger print instead of my user pic. i found out that the image for the fingerprint scanner is part of a file called "BioCredProv.dll" in the system32 folder. So I made a cop of it, edited the copy with a dll editor so that the bitmap image is that of my user account, but now I can't replace the file in the system 32 folder. I've tried deleting the original and replacing it with the edited one, I've added 1 to the end of the edited file's name so it is "BioCredProv1.dll" and then attempted to change the registry to use this new file (but it gives me an error saying "Cannot edit: Error writing the value's new contents." I know it can be changed as I've seen another forum where two people gave two ways to change it (one using an ubuntu linux system to change the system32 file which I don't know how to do, and the other by creating his own new registry file, which I once again don't know how to do.)
today i wanted paste a file to system32 directory in win 7 but i must have some kind of permission. What kind, how to enable it?. On Win xp i get communicate of access denied.
Every time I try to start my computer, it says "windows is loading files," which it normally doesn't, and then Startup Repair pops up. I let it run for about an hour, and it finally finished, but it said it could not find the source of the problem. I looked in the log for the Startup Repair, and it said that everything ran smoothly, except for the file scan. it took over 100,000 ms for it to process, and it said the test failed, along with mentioning that the system32 file was corrupted. I don't know much about computers, not do I remember getting an installation disc. (The computer was a gift to me.)
Can locate the required Logitech folder OK and open and examine the 10 .xml files for the various controllers OK.However when I try this within Notepad, can only get as far as the Logitech Folder.If the Folder is highlighted with the cursor all 10 files are listed. If I try to open the files, get the message ...No items match your search....Not sure how to open so that I can edit?
I overcame all the known troubles with editing MP3 tags, it's no problem. Since I don't like the presentation of my MP3's in iTunes I wrote a program in html/JavaScript that does all the work I want. I'm not a great programmer, just QuickBasic (Very Good!) and html/JavaScript. But now I meet a quite different problem. My program reads tags from the MP3 file itself. Reading 3 tags in over 5000 MP3's takes about 70 secs (Win 7 x64). To speed that up I place those tags (tit2, tpe1 and tcon) in the beginning of the file. I have to do that manually for each file with a text-editor, time consuming! But... is there a way to change the place of the tags in a MP3 file in a more automatic way?
Is it possible to edit the .ISO or anyother Image file with some software? I created a .ISO file but i forgot to add some files so i'm looking for a software that can inject files or folders into the image file or we can simply open the file in a particular program and edit them.
Is there a way to make a batch file that will automatically change Services? My main goal here is to 1 click edit all the services I change from disable,automatic, and delayed. I use the same settings for the entire family that I am tech support for so it makes life easier.
I open a txt file and edit it, then when I try to save it i can't. It offers to save it to the same location but as a different file. And if I try to just save it with the same name it won't overwrite the original. I just want to "save" and have it save the edit and close.
I am trying to modify the hosts file so that it will block certain websites.I tried the following code, but it does not seem to do anything when i visit the website (as in, the page loads normally):Code: 127.0.0.1 asite.com what am i doing wrong?
My mainboard was ASUS p5n-mx, its support AHCI so when I install SSD on my pc, its using AHCI mode instead of IDE.This board bios IC is damage now, so I replace it with new motherboard chipset G41 southbrigde ICH7 which is not support AHCI.I have dual boot system which install on separate hardrive, windows xp which on my HDD only need to update driver but its succesfully boot. Another one is Windows 7 installed on my ssd now couldn't boot at all.I'm getting error when boot to windows 7 even on safe mode, I check on safe mode its stuck on classpnp.sys, I tried to googling and found out that is issue with AHCI vs IDE mode on my SSD.on BIOS i don't see AHCI option, only IDE so can I change the configuration of my SSD from AHCI to IDE?I can boot to windows xp, and see my ssd drive windows files but I don't know how to change ssd configuration on that installation.
Whatever program I have, say like MSN, Google Chrome etc...When the program is running and is minimized,If I right click on a running program (say like MSN) which takes me to its menu, and then selecting one of the task in that menu (say like you chose to set your status on Away in MSN), It opens up System32 folder instead!?
I can't run any programs from system32 folder (like chkdsk or chkntfs) with Command Prompt (even in an elevated one and I turned off my UAC). It'll return like "''chkdsk' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."So I have to navigate to system32 folder first then using Shift+Right Click and select "Open command window here" then run the program from thereBut using the usual Command Prompt, I still can run programs from Windows folder (like regedit)
I turned on my computer, Hp Pavilion dv4, yesterday and this message came up:C:WindowsSystem32wswsock.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the softoward vendor for support.This is prevent me from connecting to the internet. I am currently on a co-worker's computer. I am in the process of backing everything up to do a system recovery. Is there another way to fix this
I am trying to write to this folder as I need to replace 2 drivers with more updated versions. I am running as Admin and I have the UAC set to Never Notify. I right click on the folder and uncheck read only. Then I go to the Security tab and attempt to edit the permissions. However even as Admin the buttons to add and edit permissions are "Ghosted Out

I want to upgrade a computer that is running Windows XP currently to Windows 7. I know that it is possible and that this computer is capable of running Windows 7, and I have the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade package. However, there was some damage done by a virus on this computer. The virus was removed, but there are System32 files that are damaged as a result. The owner of the computer had this machine custom built, and they don't have any of the disks for Windows or anything to try running a repair. I am wondering if running the upgrade will fix the problems with System32 files or if they will even be a factor in the upgrade.
Running Hijackthis, I noticed Multiple system32 files missing and (unknown owner).Some of these are important files. I just loaded windows 7 on this new Giadia N20 pc and then updated 7 online frome windows and ran hijack this again; same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this
While trying to fix an issue with a simulator (FSX) that involved adding a .dll file to system 32, a user said in a guide to fix said issue to paste the .dll file into system 32, but to do this, you would need to take ownership of the system 32 folder. Which I did, and the .dll was pasted successfully. However stupidly I didn't do any research until after the CMD/DOS window did the whole ownership process.
As the title says, there is no OptionalFeatures.exe in my System32 folder. I recently let a friend of mine install 7 on my laptop (I have been on XP since its launch). I need to run networking from this machine to the other computers in the house (1 Mac and one on XP) to share files between, but I can't as there is no medium to do so.Is there any way to obtain a fresh copy of OptionalFeatures.exe without having to do a complete reinstall of the OS?
So I recently reinstalled a clean copy of windows and kept a full backup of my old one on a seperate hard drive, I reinstalled windows because of driver issues, and I was wondering if it was possible to restore back to my old one without ALL drivers. I would reinstall motherboard and graphics drivers after if this is possible.
At first I tried to reinstall audio drivers, flash, java... nothing worked. I checked the registry and ta-daaah! The Drivers32 registry folder [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32] is empty!If I try to create a new string, it bleeps and says an error blocks the key opening. I checked the permissions and resctrictions and there is full permission.If I create a .reg file containing the correct list of strings and open it, it says it has been added, but when I open regedit it's still empty!I also tried to install K-Lite codec pack, but it says the same thing as the regedit does.
I have a good sony vaio from 2010 with a win7 home premium, 4 Gb Ram, 500Gb HDD, 50 Gb available currently. I know various System32 files are missing from information from a HijackThis Scan yesturday, eg lsass.exe. Explorer.exe does not handle folders well-double clicking should open any folder but instead it defaults to trying to open it with the first available software in the context menue, which happens to be VLC Media player. This is a known problem, to do with registry damage and/or windows explorer, not to do with VLC. I have been diligent with updating drivers, and am currently using Slimdrivers to identify further improvements to my driver lineup.
I will add a scan results from tweaking com windows repair after this post. Avast interenet security and Malwarebytes are up to date and scan have found nothing lately. MBAB had to be uninstalled and reinstalled today due to some sudden loss of the signatures update file(I think), but is running well again now. I wish to go through a range of tests and find out about some procedure to restore these corrupt system files. I am an advanced home user but have run out of idea with this problem.
