I have Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I want to change a DAT file to read-only, but every time I try to I get two error messages. The first one says something about needing the administrator, and that's weird because I am the administrator, and the second message goes on to say "an error has occurred...ignore, ignore all etc. I even tried to change the file in safe mode but that didn't work. I noticed that the file is set to open with Media Player Classic, for some reason, and that's it
When I bought a new computer Windows 7 was installed. My old system was XP. I put my xp files on a USB, but when I try to open them on the 7 it is garbage.How can I make Windows 7 read/open my XP files on a USB?
I put in WD MYBOOKLIVE which is a network drive and I got a Blue screen. I also get it if I put in a Logitech webcam which I really need.WD tech support said the drive has nothing to do with the Blue screen. I triedt o read the DMP file by putting it into WORD but that didn't work.
I used to have XP as my O/S and scanned a lot of files. The scanned files have an extension .max
Since I switched to Windows 7 I cannot read ( open ) them anymore.Searching Google provided no What I am looking for is a program that let's me read the .max files.
For what ever reason, I have a file on my 1TB WDC drive:
D:usersuser_namedocumentsxxxxx.pdf
that upon trying to open it, I receive a message that the file is corrupt.I have looked high and low trying to find a way to DELETE this file, but to no avail. There's lot of references about running CHKDSK to check the drive, running FSUTIL to query the dirty bit (which is set on this drive, because of this file), and using CHKDSK to clear the dirty-bit. And, I tried them all. This, however, is NOT a hard drive issue. The drive is fine. It's the file structure that is in error. I just need a solution that will let me DELETE the file. I don't want recover it.
1. Use Paragon-Software Hard Disk Manager 12 to copy the hard drive to another drive. The second drive is large enough to hold all the data from the larger drive.
2. Check the file on the drive copy... (yep, it's there... yep, it's corrupt... yep, the dirty-bit is on)
3. Create a filter in Paragon-Software HDM12 for that specific file.
4. Run the disk copy again using the filter.
5. Check the file on the drive copy... (this time the file is not there and the dirty bit is not set)
Having done this, I think I'm ready to copy the hard drive back. I just haven't pulled the trigger. I want to recable the drives to use the copy just to make sure I can reach everything. Then, I'll pull the trigger.
i get this problem in few of my files in hard disk, which is Disk D, first one is Disk C, any1 have cure for this, at first i only have this error in 1 file, now in 3 files, but these files are working perfectly, just cant copy paste.
I'm trying to create a virtual "Windows 7 ENT SP1 x64" in a vhd file. I need it to be bootable. Also, I need to figure out how to implement it so that when a user reboot and/or logoff from this computer, that it restore the vhd OS to its original state (read-only). Is that even possible?
Note: I'm already able to create a normal vhd from scratch or from an existing Windows 7 system. What I can't figure out is how to make it a read-only vhd file.
I have been trying to find a way for Windows Vista and 7 to use the Folder.jpg file in a folder as an album artwork icon (in lieu of a folder icon with skewed and obscured artwork), and since Windows no longer natively supports this feature, the best workaround I've been able to find is to replace the folder icon manually. This creates a desktop.ini file with an absolute path to the Folder.ico file I also have in each album folder. I then changed the desktop.ini to reference a relative path, like this:[.ShellClassInfo]IconResource=Folder.ico,0Here's where my questions arise:1. When I copy that desktop.ini to another folder with a Folder.ico file, Windows doesn't read it, even after restarting the computer. I've searched the web on this and have found thread after thread where people have the same issue, but no one seems to be able to resolve it without manually changing the icon, either through the Explorer interface or using the command prompt. Is there a way I can get Windows to read the manually-copied desktop.ini of every sub-folder in my music directory?
2. On a related note, when I copy my customized folders with the relative-path desktop.ini from my Windows Vista computer to my Windows 7 computer, the artwork doesn't show up there, even for the folders I got to look right in Windows Vista. Am I going to have to manually re-associate the desktop.ini every time I upgrade computers or reinstall the OS?The album artwork looks so good, but I don't want to go through hundreds of folders and manually associate the folder to read the desktop.ini file. That would take so long, and just the few I've done manually so far have killed my wrist.
I'm trying to download a powerpoint but everytime i try it says this ppt.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.I don't understand why?

My wife and I have Windows 7 on each of our computers. I thought I installed networking between the two computers. I am able to look at files from each of our computers. However, we I open a file in one of the computers it will not let me save the updated file. The error message says the file is read only. Any ideas?
All my browsers were freezing and crashing. I was getting the DNS 1012 error. I found out I was missing my host file. I added back the host file. Chrome and Internet explorer worked ok for a little while, then they started crashing again. I took off Chrome and replaced with Opera. Opera worked perfectly for a day and I thought my troubles were over. The next day, it started freezing and crashing and I am getting the DNS 1012 error again. If it's not recognizing the host file, why did Opera work so well for that one day. Also I noticed when I go to my embarqmail account, that's when the freezing really begins and then it affects other sites I go to after that.

I have a server and domain in my house. I bought a few laptops for my family and I want to install Windows XP Professional on them. For now I'm just focusing on one computer but how would I go about making a .iso file bootable and then putting on a flash drive so I can install it on a computer with no operating system. (I already made the .iso file I just need it to be bootable)

When Im gonna start my VM I get a messages that says; Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device.

I just want to have it on my desktop if possible.
I downloaded the WIN 7 64bit .iso file from microsoft and burned it to a dvd. I have a Dell E6400 with a wiped hard drive that I want to load Windows 7 onto. I put the burned dvd into the e6400 and change the boot order to CD/DVD drive but it doesn't run. Is that burned DVD not bootable? I downloaded MagicDisk but I'm clueless, I want to be able to put the DVD into the e6400 and it self load the paid for copy of windows 7.
Whenever I try to change something in program files, windows doesn't allow me, says that: You require permission from administrators to make changes to this file. But I am the administrator, I have checked alot of times.
i have a video i wanna send to someone, its is 1.3 GB uncompressed, i have researched all the best Winrar compression settings and when i compress it the file ends up being 1052MB which is slightly to big for my preferred host site (Megaupload) - its driving me crazy theres no alternative to MU available that hosts over 1o24MB for free without asking for bank details and all that personal stuff.
So i would be greatful if anyone could suggest how i can make the file scrape under the 1024MB size (i can't compress so its loses quality when expanded btw) or suggest a alternative host site to MU that works.
