I have a Sony dvd recorder which has decided to stop formatting dvd's (all types -r, -rw, +rw etc).I have a lot of tv programmes now stuck on the Sony's hdd that I need, and wondered if I could use my pc to format dvd's, so that the Sony's format function is bypassed.
When Windows Vista came out I noticed that there was a new version of the "Sound Recorder" that would not allow you to modify the sound you recorded before saving it I figured that Windows 7 would revert back to a Sound recorder that was a little more user friendly and allow you to modify the sound you recorded. It didn't.! I went back to one of my Windows XP PC's can copied the SNDREC32.EXE program from it and placed it on a USB Chip to test it.... It does work on the Windows 7 Professional Operating System, but I get an error message that states "There was an error updating the registery". How can I get this program to run on my Win-7 PC and not get the error message.?
Im using windows 7 and im trying to use my sound recorder. i recorder some words, then i saved it and i tried to play it; it was playing but there was no sound it was just blank.
Unable to save audio recordings in CCIT-ulaw format since we went to Windows 7. Is there a way to revert back to the Windows XP Version of Sound Recorder on Windows 7 or is there a way to save an audio file in different formats like we were able to with the Win Xp version of Sound Recorder?Tried simply copying the sndrec32.exe over from the Win XP machine but that didn't work, got numerous errors when launched.
You can use Problem Steps Recorder to automatically capture the steps you take on a computer, including a text description of where you clicked and a picture of the screen during each click (called a screen shot). Once you capture these steps, you can save them to a file that can be used by a support professional or someone else helping you with a computer problem.
I tried using the Sound Recorder tonight for the first time and I fell on my face doing that too.I recorded about 20 seconds of music as a test and saved it to'My Music' folder. That part was successful.However, when I went to the folder to play it I noticed it had a 'gold lock' icon on the title. I tried playing it but nothing but silence.
get my sound recorder reliably working. Each time there is a hassle to get it back running and sometimes it never finds a recording device although my laptop has a soundcard with stereo mix and an internal mic. I had both already working, recording from Stereo Mix and recording from Internal Mic., but I often have to re-estavblish a setting. Rt now although I select any recording device itll give me ano device found� warning. If I plaback a file everything works fine, but the Sound Recorder can�t record it today.
I seriously needs some help with formattign my computer. I've got some virus' on my computer, and I'm not able to remove them (I have tried with Hijackthis and NOD32 Antivirus).
My problem is, that when I changed to Windows 7, my computer automaticly remved my recovery file, which holds my Windows Vista file. This means I can't install any operating system after format. I also need to format to clean up my computer etc. but that's unimportant.
This is a serious problem to me, because I use my computer for basically everything, and I have to use it on secondary college next year, and I can't afford a new one. so please help me, as fast as possible!
I am having a problem formatting a drive. When I first built this computer, I had two 500GB HDD's installed. Originally I installed XP on the machine. Some time ago, I installed Windows 7 on my other drive. I have been using Windows 7 for months now, and I no longer wish to use Windows XP.
I am running out of space on my Windows 7 Drive, I originally only allocated 90GB to it. I want to format my XP drive so I can move things around and get more space, but I cannot reformat, disk management gives me the error, "Windows cannot format the System Partition on this disk."
I REALLY REALLY do not want to have to reinstall windows 7. I basically want to format the XP drive and make that my new media drive, and extending the current Windows 7 drive to include the space that I will gain from moving my media drive.
I've formatted my laptop a few days ago and thought that some fonts in some websites looked weird compared to before, I thought I was just being paranoid and that it was my imagination, but after a few days where I couldn't stop to think that, I took a printscreen in the other pc on the house and comparing side to side to mine it as clear as day that it's different On the left it's how mine is, on the right how the other PC is(and how it was before in mine). All I did was formatting and installing most of the programs that was installed before on the laptop, I didn't tweaked the fonts or anything. Oh, also this is not specific to a browser, the font on internet explorer or firefox looks exactly the same. I tried resetting to default and checked that the font used is Segoe UI size 9.
I'm currently dual-booting Vista and 7, and I want to get rid of Vista, but I'd like a couple people to just confirm for me that I'd be doing it correctly because I don't want to mess up my MBR or anything like that.
I currently have Vista on my C drive and 7 on my F drive. If I go to Computer Management and then Disk Management, this is what I see:
First, because I have a ThinkPad, I have Q and S drives. But I believe they're irrelevant to this question.
My C drive, with Vista, says it's an NTFS drive, "Healthy (Primary Partition)".
My F drive, with 7, says it's an NTFS drive, "Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Logical Drive)".
If I were to just flat-out right click on the C drive with Vista and click format, and then restart, would I be screwed? Or would it load 7 because it would be my only OS? And if this would be a problem, how should I go about removing Vista?
My friend wiped my friend's computer on a Vista installer by choosing "load drivers" or something in the partition screen and then pressing format. I can't find this anywhere, or what I mean is there are no drivers to load. When I try to format, I can only format so that my computer saves a Windows.old file. Does that get rid of viruses? Does it get rid of a slow computer?
Okay, I want to do a fresh install of Windows 7 onto an SSD, then use my HDD which currently has Windows 7 on it for extra storage. However, I don't want to be prompted about which drive to boot from, nor do I want useless OS files on my spare drive.I don't have another drive to backup files to, so backing up then formatting isn't an option. What can I do to delete the OS files entirely and structure the drive like you would a typical backup drive?
I'm having a bit of a strange issue. What I am attempting to do is format my C (Windows 7) drive, in order to reinstall Windows from the installation disc.
Here is my problem. Whenever I try to boot from the disc, it just loads Windows normally and doesn't launch startup repair or anything. My thought is that this is due to the fact that my DVD drive, while fully functional, is not compatible with Windows 7. I know it works as when I first bought the PC it installed Windows7 just fine, so my thinking is that if I can get my C drive formatted, I will then be able to boot from the Windows disc and install.
I can't seem to find any option in startup that will allow me to do this. I also do not have additional DVD, CD or Blu Ray drives that I can install.
I have a word doc on my USB that I don't wish to loose and now I'm getting a message to format! I've tried many approaches over the past week but with little success. The size of the file "c:UsersuserDocumentsSAVED FILES$ROOT00105Finding Form 1Part 3.docx" exceeds the 64KB limit for FAT 32Another company states that the Status of the file is 'Excellent', the size is '95 KB', the Date Created was '25/09/2012' and the Date Modified was '04/10/2012', Time '18:10'. That is the correct file although I'm not sure if 95KB is all the data?? It was roughly 20 pages of text
Ive had it crashing on me with 10 minutes everytime i turn it on. It was this minidump thing. I got my copy of windows 7 finally D and i was wondering if i can like... format my entire C drive and put the disk into the CD drive and do it there. I got like this boot thing in the front tht lets me choose wat i want to boot from.
i had originally windows vista on drive C and then i installed windows 7 on drive E, then i wanted to try windows 8 so i deleted windows vista form drive C and installed windows 8 ... now i tried deleting/formating Drive C to put another OS on it but i couldnt delete the windows folder, im guessing its booting from Drive C into windows 7 on drive E.i used Easy BCD to remove the windows 8 boot entry since im not using it.so what should i do now? how can i format drive C and still make windows 7 boot correctly?
