INI File Refuses To Accept Changes?
Nov 15, 2011
A program I use frequently (VuePrint) refuses to let me change the .ini file to a particular opening directory. There is a line in the .ini "Directory=C:" I have attempted to change it to "Directory=C:User1UserDownloads" to no avail. I have changed the file logged in as "Administrator" and as the only "User" of the system. Once or twice the change worked, but at next log on, the .ini file had changed back to the original setting. I have searched the registry and no .ini file reference is there. Yes, I have saved the file using both "Save" and "Save as."

I'm having trouble assigning the default program to open certain files on my 64-bit 7 Home Premium machine. I previously had a program called Vesta which I used, and that was fine. The path was something like C:Program Files (x86)VESTAvesta.exe Then when I discovered there was a 64-bit version of Vesta available, I removed my old version and replaced it with the 64-bit version, now sitting in C:Program FilesVESTAvesta.exe
Now I'm trying to reset my .cif files to open with the new Vesta. Not surprisingly, vesta.exe has disappeared from the list of available programs to "Open With", because it no longer exists at the original path. But when I browse to the new vesta.exe in Program Files and select it, nothing happens - it just completely ignores my selection, with no message. I can Browse and select any other .exe program as normal, but there is no way I can assign Vesta as the default program. So, it must have something to do with the fact that the new vesta.exe has the same name as the old one, but a different path.
It seems like I somehow need to reset a hidden "Open With" app path list that Windows is keeping somewhere. Does anyone know how I could get at such a list - is it in the registry maybe? (At the same time it would be nice to remove all the random .exe's I added to the list while I was experimenting...)

I have a Dell 570 AMD dual core 3.0Ghz with a hard drive with windows 7 64bit. I want another hard drive with another OS on it to dual boot from. I got a blank formatted NFTS drive and plugged it in along side the win7 one. I popped in the win XP disc and turned on the PC. It tried to run from the disc, started the winXP utility and then got an error saying to unplug my hard drive I just put in. Then it started the win7. I tried this with another blank formatted drive and got the same thing. I then opened the case and unplugged the win7 drive and just had the blank one in and same thing happened. I then took a different drive with winXP on it already and plugged that in with the win7. No dual boot option came up and when i forced it to boot from the winXP drive it started to and then got an error. Its like the PC wont accept anything but the win7 drive. I know all these drives work well. They do fine on my older pentium 4 PC. the drives I tried are 2x 80GB and 1x 120GB, all SATA. the one with win7 on it is 500GB SATA.

i resently had my laptop reinstald from vista to windows 7 (my C was full and i had nothing instald on it, its just up-dates, so it was needed)the problem now is, before if some games dont work as the sims 3, i just opend the system en opend the advanged to add the sims in a list that DEP allows it
but for some reason i cannot do that now, the text below command about needing to be admin (wich as only user on the lap i am), and run the BCSEDIT.exe.i run it (even as admin) but it the problem keeps going on.i noticed some ways to turn the DEP off on this site, but that seems a bit extreem (as that people most of the time warn that its not the best option)

[code] Four days ago I did a complete hard drive backup. On the 6th, and last disc I was told that it didn't properly close the session. 3 days ago something happened, while using Unlocker program to delete malware. My 2 user accounts would not open, until after I opened my admin account. So I decided to do a factory restore. I skipped the backup HDD, since I had just completed one the day before, and didn't was to chance backing up malware.After the factory restore completed, all was working ok. But when I tried to restore my HDD backup, the system said it was looking for a backup of May 15, 2011. I doesn't recognize my backup of 4 days ago.Is there any way possible to get Win 7 to accept the most recent backup??

When I'm away from my home office, I like to use Remote Desktop Connection to log on to 3 of my home computers. I have done this before without problems, but this time I found that I could connect but the remote computer would not accept my login even though I was using a user name and password that I knew worked for logging on locally. I was going to come here for help, but I figured out what the problem was before hand, so I thought I would post what happened just in case someone else runs into this problem.
The problem was that I had gone to the control panel and changed the username from what I had used when the OS was installed. This is a no-no because some aspects of the original user name are permanent. I accidentally discovered this when I went to computer management and clicked on local user and groups and saw two different names. One under column name, and the other under column full name. When I changed the full name back to the same as name, everything then worked fine with RDC.

Every time I go to set someone up with a live mail account and use their in existing email address the wretched program will not accept the address they already have and keeps requesting that it has to be set up as a hotmail one. If I ask it to use their own address it comes with some rubbish aboout being in anaothe domain or something. Am absolutely sick of this program why in the name of reason cannot the damn thing just accept the persons existing address. I mean no one wants to start letting everyone else a new address to send to them especially if they have a lot of contacts. I set my own up so what is the go with it now and this one and only feature makes cleaning up someones machine a nightmare.

Newly built computer, I'll update my specs in the profile shortly (done).Probably crashed 5 or 6 times.Crashed while gaming, crashed while not gaming, crashed while I was at the store.Could possibly blame xSplit for the crashes, as I can't remember if it's crashed while it isn't running.Different errors eachtime:DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL,PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (x2),UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP,KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.I removed one stick of RAM recently to test if it was bad, even though memory test didn't show any issues. All the crashes so far have been with both sticks.Is Windows 7 . . . - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 - the original installed OS on the system? I installed it, newly built computer. - an OEM or full retail version? It's an OEM version from one of my Dell computers.
- OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer - What is the age of system (hardware)? A few days, it's newly built. - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) A few daydit: One dump didn't get included. It was at C:WindowsMEMORY.DMP. It's roughly 500MB in size. Here is the results of running a WinDBG on it:[CODE]

My netbook - a Toshiba nb305 - is inexplicably not accepting my password, nor that of my wife's who has a separate user account. We know the passwords we're inputting are correct, so have no explanation. We have ensured that the CAPS lock and NUM locks are off (and we've tried entering passwords with them on) so that's not the problem. I'm presently holidaying in Greece, and the netbook was working perfectly on the plane journey over here. Came to use it in the hotel, and it is having this problem. Tried starting in Safe Mode also but same problem occurs.

I have a Commodore 64x Extreme with Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit operating system installed on it.
My problem is that every time I try to insert a disc into the internal slimline Blu-Ray Disc drive (be it a CD, DVD or BD) the drive simply ejects it immediately.
I've got the most updated driver installed for it, and Windows claims that the device is working properly.

I have an Acer that had Microsoft home Premium on it but no disks. I had to re install so I used the key that is on the sticker under the laptop but after installation I got the message that it wasn't the right key. So i followed the prompts that led me to a phone call to activate by giving a bunch of numbers that were sent to Microsoft and it still says invalid key. Their is no OEM key that I can find and I cant get recovery to come up. I have a copy of a Win 7 Home that I used to install but its not the original. Is their a way to use the original key somehow?

Windows 7, won't accept a password I set to it for my HP 620, though with a special character; which goes for Kar's1990 --that's the password. Password that used to work flawlessly in weeks I have had it in use though until today after coming back from my morning routine, to boot the system, to find out every time I try to write "'" to complete the password properly, it instead adds another black dot to the input field in which case the form ends like: Kar'as1990 instead.
The keyboard isn't Spanish though configured, to international English, so to give me the special character without a problem. To throw as well, I had some virus attack yesterday; but swept them immediately. Nevertheless, I don't know if that have something to do with the keyboard no properly writing the a with the accent I'm seeking it to input.

I have a specific email contact who can be reached directly through my Gmail on Google but every time I send directly from Outlook 2010 the email dies as "Invalid Recipient". This applies even if I am replying to a received email from that person so it is not a typo or similar personal error and it is the only contact which behaves like this.

I've just downloaded the "Windows Live Movie Maker" for Windows 7.
My MP4 video had no issues. However, Movie Maker won't accept my pre-recorded MP3 audio - what's up with that? It was recorded on XP then put on a USB stick and brought to my Win 7 PC. Would that effect it? How can I fix it?
If not, how can I get my MP3 working? I never thought MP3 would be an issue.

This blue screen appears even if i try and boot the machine up in safe mode? I am unable to tell you what is on the bluescreen because it only appears for a few seconds and then the machine shuts down?

I have a problem that makes me want to destroy my laptop. I use sleep mode a LOT. Until today, it used to actually enter sleep mode. Now, it turns of the screen, and HDD activity seems to stop (At least the light turns off). But it never actually sleeps. In fact, it seems to use MORE power somehow. I usually get ~5 hours on battery. My new awesome sleep mode is so good it consumes the battery in just 3 hours.

I have a laptop, Acer aspire 7001, and it runs on Windows 7. It ran fine for a year, but a couple weeks ago I dared to install windows updates. There were a lot of them, including SP1. I restarted, but suddenly windows wouldn't open. I managed to start in safe mode and found SP1 wasn't installed correctly. I removed it, ran a couple scans (antivirus, malware, register) and restarted. Still windows won't start in normal mode. A memory scan found nothing wrong. CHKSDK finds nothing. Startup Repair sometimes says "restart to finish", and sometimes "cannot repair". I have written down every startup repair error report.
I tried to use Windows Recovery, but found all restore points had been removed! Furthermore, I tried to use the windows 7 cd, but the laptop refuses to read the CD. It's not just with the windows cd (which works on other computers). The BIOS recognizes the CD reader, but it seems unable to read cd's. So I'm guessing there's a hardware problem there.
