I was transferring several 3GB files from one computer to another over a wired network. On one file, about 80% through, a message box came up saying there was a problem with the transfer. Two options: "Try Again" and "Cancel". Hit "Try Again", the progress bar finishes, and the file disappears from both computers. Search of entire hard drives finds nothing. What happened and why? Recovery software will probably not help me because both disks have been written to since the error.
After doing a copy and paste, we have, on 3 occasions so far, found the copied data in an entirely different file. Twice data from a copy appeared in an excel spreadsheet and once a picture copied in facebook appeared in an email. The excel problem is very worrysome as it is our family budget. how this could happen? In the case of the excel events no paste operation was intentionally done.
There is only one of my Excel 2003 files that almost disappears when I copy it over into my Windows 7 laptop and try to read it with either explorer or search for it, although it asks me to replace it everytime. It appears as if it doesn't exist. However when I open Excel 2010 and list only the .xls files, it finds it and I can read it. I have several other Excel 2003 files that are fine and since I usually open files by clicking on them in explorer, this one is particularly annoying, since I can't find it to click on it to open it. When I do open it in Excel 2010 it works normally and fine.
why only this file disappears from explorer and the search function only?
This is rather strange but in my windows ultimate video editing machine every time I go to use my editing software and go to open or inpost a file the window opens for a second then quickly disappears. Could there be some sort of exe issue? I am running Norton's NIS2012 now but had just Karperskys anti virus lapse on me.
I've just got a new PC and while trying to copy over files from my old computer, I keep getting various BSODs (codes 24, A and others). These happen either during copying files between harddisks, or just creating RARs on harddisks. I suspected the old harddisks first, but the errors keep popping up even after disconnecting the old drive and just working with the new one. So after reading around on the forums a bit, my guess are a faulty harddrive or RAM. I already ran a chkdsk /r /f on all drives. I also tried the Windows built-in memory check with the default settings, which didn't seem to turn up any errors. I will try Memtest86 next. However, it would be nice if anybody else could have a look at the dump files, maybe it's something else entirely?

copying a file to a Web Folder in Windows 7.I am able to connect to the web folder and see the subfolders. I am able to copy a local folder to the web folder as well. The only I am facing is when I am trying to copy a file. I am getting the error 0x80070057(The Parameter is incorrect). I have checked with fiddler and it does not look like its a server side issue. And I have also tried stopping most of the services as I read on the net that having 'Kaspersky' enabled and running interfered with the I/O for webdav.
I'm facing some trouble installing windows 7 x64 build 7057
When i click "install now" button after booting from the DVD-Rom. I get an error at times stating that i need DVD/CD-Rom Device Drivers and it does not detect the harddrive. However if i wait a little while before clicking the "Install Now" button, i pass on to Licence Agreement page.
From there i get a choice to Upgrade or Custom Install. If i chose upgrade it gives compatibility issue report as i do not have any OS running on the Drive i wan to Install Windows 7 on.
When i chose Custom i get to choose a partition. I chose the Primary Drive C partition as this 120GB hdd has no windows installed (my regular 500GB HDD that has winxp and vista64 is physically disconnected through this process). The Partition 1 has 29.8GB free when formated. I start the installation on that
The first Step "Copying Windows Files" takes few seconds and reaches 100% without error
The Second Step "Expanding Windows Files" stays on 0% for around 5 to 10 minutes and returns an error:
"Windows Cannot Install Required Files. Make Sure all files required for Installation are available, and restart the installation."
After I click 'OK', it says on the Screen "The installation was cancelled. Any changes that were made to your computer during the installation process will not be saved."
I do not understand if this is my hardware related issue or do i have a bad DVD. My DVD seems to be loading up fine and files do copy around from it. The ISO i copied this from seems to be ok. Could someone explain why am I facing this error and how can I solve it?
I just recorded most of season 2 of the walking dead series yesterday. when i try to play the file in wmc i get the following message:
"Copying prohibited. The broadcaster prohibits this content from being copied. You can only play this content on the same computer on which it was recorded."
That is exactly what I am trying to do. Play it on the same computer I recorded it on.
WMC recording/playback and media/file sharing seems to work fine until I go to copy a file between drives, where one of those drives is currently using some of its i/o bandwidth to do media. The copy hogs the i/o bandwidth, doing nasty things to the real-time needs. How do I permanently tell Windows 7 x64 to do all [explorer] copies at a lower CPU and i/o (explorer.exe & system) priority and/or elevate WMC CPU & i/o (ehshell.exe?) and file/media sharing priorities a bit? The PC is up to date on patches/drivers and should be able to prioritize obvious applications.
I am trying to move one pst file from one laptop which has Outlook 2010 32 bit to another laptop which has Outlook 2010 64 bit installed, steps taken 1) Copied the pst file from the User/AppData/Microsoft/Outlook folder to usb. 2) Pasted the file from usb into User/Documents folder. 3) Tried to open the file in Outlook and I get the error that Outlook encountered errors while opening the file. Now how is that possible when the file is working perfectly in one laptop but when I copy and paste it into another it gets corrupted? Is it due to 32 bit to 64 bit outlook? I tried to repair it using scanpst and it brought back few mails?
I recently bought an Asus U50F notebook. Pretty good so far. But for the past few days, the DVD/CD-ROM E: drive disappears from My Computer. I go to Device Manager and it shows as disabled (Code 22). I proceed to enable it, and it then shows under My Computer again (and works well). But a little while later, it happens again, and I must return to Device Mgr to enable it. This is a continuous issue. I get no help from googling. The drive is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ892AS. I have Win7 Home Premium.
Every day when I switch on my PC , me Printers disappear and I need to go to the Command prompt and type "net start spooler" to get the printers to re-appear
I would like to know how to oversome this problem, so that the printers do not disappear once I have shut down my pc and restart the next day
Occasionally, when on a web page with pictures/video/flash, the screen will "freeze" and have some random colored pixels appear or sometimes it will just go black. Sometimes when this happens the whole system will remain locked. Other times it will recover and I will get a notification balloon saying the the graphics driver has stopped and recovered from an error. I've looked for answers to this on the web and I have seen reference to it being caused by a Windows timeout waiting for a response from the video card. Is there a way to modify (extend) the timeout value to try to prevent this? I have the latest drivers. In my case the graphics card is NVidea Quadro FX 1800M on a Dell Precision M4500 notebook (8G RAM). OS: Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit.
Been having an annoying problem on various forums - the text cursor will disappear during typingFrequently when I try to move the cursor around with the arrows (or click to place it with the mouse) it will disappear and I have no idea where I'm about to type.
For the most part Windows 7 has been running ok so far on my computer. The only issue that has me puzzled is my Realtek RTL8168C(P)8111C(P) Family PCI-E GBE NIC (onboard) just disappears after a reboot or a shutdown. I have to power the system totally down just to get it back.
I have updated to the lastest driver ( 1/20/2009 from Realtek.) Windows update tells me I have the latest driver installed. I also have tried disabling the power managemant and the driver still "disappeared" in Device Manager. I have IPV6 disabled as well.
Since my computer is fairly new and Vista Ready.. I thought I would try the driver that came on the motherboard install CD and same result. I am using a linksys USB wireless adapter and suprisingly it has proven to be more stable then my onboard Realtek. Not a major issue just a puzzle I would like to solve.
I have a new HP G60-530US laptop with Windows 7 installed (less than 2 months old). It is connected to an HP 7410 All-in-One Printer and a Brother laser printer.
Three times now, the HP 7410 printer has mysteriously disappeared from the installed printers. The Brother printer does not disappear.
To re-install the HP 7410 printer requires disabling the AVS using the Services utility (not just shutting down the AVS (Panda)).
The printer driver works for a week or so, and then must be re-installed.
HP is clueless about the cause or cure for this.
The laptop people referred me to the printer support people and the printer support people referred me to the laptop support people. The last tech support guy suggested that I restore the system on the theory that if the problem persisted it would be a hardware problem and not a software problem. He seemed to miss the fact that the disappearing printer driver software only occured with HP printers.
HP technical support was worthless.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
Some internet forums suggest that this occurs when HP machines are connected to different networks. I noticed my problem occur after I took the laptop on a business trip and connected to a different wireless network.
In my experience, HP All-in-One printer software (e.g. the "Solution Center") is buggy and a resource hog, so I suspect that HP has not debugged their software to work with Windows 7.
I have a Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a single 500 GB hard drive. A year ago, when the computer was new, I used a free partition manager program (Partition Wizard maybe?) to allocate about 60 GB for drive C: which holds Windows 7 and all of my software apps. I allocated the rest of the free space to D: for all of my data files. Sony also has a 13GB recovery partition and a 100 MB System Reserved partition which preceed C: and D: on the hard drive.
Three days ago, when I booted the computer for the day, drive D: was gone. Disk Management showed free, unallocated space equal to the size of my missing drive D:. Using Sony live chat support, the technician used Disk Management to allocate the 400 GB of free space to D: and formatted the partition. I then restored my missing data from a backup.The next day I booted my computer and drive D: was gone again. Disk Management again shows free, unallocated space equal to the size of my missing drive D:.
I have no third-party disk management software installed. Recent changes to my system include:
1) SmartSync Software recently downloaded a new version of SmartSync Pro (version 4.0) to my hard drive.
When i go to open a new windoiw and i already have one open it seems to disappear within seconds such like the conformation email i got for this forum with i click on the link a window went to open but flashed and disappered i couldn't even use the spell check on this because the window disapeared I'm running Windows XP and this just started today .
Just got Win 7 64 bit computer and have several programs that use Amyuni PDF converter (Quicken & Alpha Software), everything installed correctly (I did have to manualy add NUL: port) and I was able to create PDF's .... until I restarted the computer, then none of the programs would create PDF's, I looked at the ports and the NUL: port was gone, I added again and everything worked, I restarted again and the NUL: port was gone again. I have looked at every thredd on this forum I could find and many threads on Quicken forums and Alpha Software Forums and found many others with same problem, and tried every solution they proposed, but have not found anything that works.
Dell 755 dual core 1.8, 3 gig ram. I installed Window 7 on the machine, updated the drivers for sound ect. The problems is the CD drive, it can see it read what�s on the disk, when you try to open it, it disappears completely off the machine, it goes out of devise manager, reboot it comes back. If i try to play a music CD it loads the WMP and tries to play you can see it playing, the track bar moves but no sound comes. If I play the in-build music or play the video it plays and I hear the music. I've changed the drive letter as someone suggested still the same. At one point I had my 3g modem in that show up as the CD drive. It must a conflict somewhere, where I dont know. Set it to both 32 & 64 bit configurations its the same on both
Don't know whether anyone else has had this problem but my mouse pointer disappears in Media Center.
It never used to, this problem only started over the last few days.
I have a Roccat Kone mouse and I know that Windows 7 doesn't like it. I've had to download a fresh driver for each of the many builds I've installed over the last 6 months i.e. it won't install a stored driver.
Anyway. I can't think why this should have suddenly started. I've not installed anything new.
It makes Media Center virtually impossible to use for watching TV, using the guide etc.
I have problem with my Asus N75SF laptop.Sometimes my sound dissapears and it comes back after a while or when i restart my laptop.So the problem occurs when i turn on my laptop there is no sound and after 5 min or so it comes back or i need to restart.Is it possible to have problem with my sound driver? I have Realtek High Definition Audio.I check the driver in device manager and try to update but it says that my driver is up to date.
W7, 64bit, current with updates. I have tried 3 new All-in-One printers and can get none to work via usb, local port. Canon MP495, Epson NX330, and HP F4140 (tried 1 at a time). The F4140 I gave up on due to the "fatal error", but may be related. I have an HP laser printer that does print via USB with a basic driver. When I click to print a test print the document appears in the printer queue for a couple minutes than disappears.
I recently bought a new computer:old was 5 year old gateway with xp - ran good just old New is acer with win 7 x64 home premium.I was using my Seagate Freeagent desktop 1 tb as a networked drive - connected through the laptop and sharing folders to be able to watch movies on an older desktop hooked up to the tv.So now I have the network going with the new pc and everything is great. I turn off the acer for the night, come back in the morning, and the freeagent is gone - its connected but windows does not see it. I check device manger, and nothing, So I pull out the usb cable, replug it in and it shows back up on My Computer and the device manager.This is the issue every time i turn the computer off. Now I dont want to have to unplug it every time i turn the computer back on. I tried a few other usb thumb drives - none have this issue only the hard drive. I would reformat it but it is close to full - but has more data on it then i can put on the computer to save from a reformat.
I'm trying to paste an MS Word Document in Windows 7 with a Page Border into Outlook and the Border disappears. I've tried Googling and nobody seems to have this problem. I've tried Control A to Copy Text Control C to Copy All & Control V to Paste & the Border disappears. The recipient is requesting a Word Document as opposed to putting it in Notepad.
I guess I have a long way to go to get used to win 7 !Whenever I open any folder, the folder icon on the taskbar disappears ? And if I need to open another folder within my folder, I need to go thru all programs - documents - my documents - finally to the folder I wanted.is there any way around it ?
I am using Windows 7 build 6956 on a laptop with t3200 2.ghz cpu and intel 4500 gma with 4gigs of ram.Now my problem is that on random cases the desktop would go black more specifically the wallpaper disappears. The taskbar is there working OK, when I click the show desktop button on the taskbar the wallpaper re-appears. When I browse the windows by hovering over the windows all seems fine but when I click on the window the wallpaper disappear again. So far it can be resolved by a simple login/logout but still annoying. The only instances I remember this happening was when I was trying out the slideshow and after playing dota (GARENA).
frequently my navigation pane at the bottom of my desktop disappears. it usually happens when i leave the laptop running. i can't seem to go to system restore since it only lets me go back to the previous day. this has been going on for over a week and i do not know how to resolve the issue. i have searched the internet to find solutions but have not been able to do so. to resolve the problem i have to bring up the task manger and end explorer. then i have to run explorer again for the navigation bar/pane to appear.
