Missing Symbols / Letters In System?
Aug 14, 2012
So my father went on a rampage and deleted a bunch of random files in his C-drive of his laptop, and emptied the recycle bin. The next time he switches on the laptop all letters are gone. As if the system is missing the language feature - everything where there should be letters / symbols belonging to a language, it's messed up symbols + signs.
How may I re-install them? Already tried a backup, didn't do a difference. One thing I have noticed, however, is that he has Comodo System Utilities installed, and everytime on boot (black screen straight after HP logo) it says that's doing something. However, he didn't use the program to delete, just the delete bottom and "empty recycle bin." Then I have tried restoring deleted files via Tune Up Utilities, still no help. Finally I've spammed F2 at the HP logo screen on startup and doing system checks. - what if I get a Windows Vista Service pack and install, will this return the missing symbols for the language?

Been using Transferer to move photos from my cameras via USB to my computer (64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1), but Transferer stopped working suddenly because it requires drive letters for the camera cards, which no longer appear in Windows Explorer, which does show the cameras listed as drives but without drive letters. I can transfer photos manually. My cameras don't seem to have a mass storage mode.

I had Windows installed to the first partition on my drive (which is C:) and after a few years now it's gotten full of software I don't use anymore and the like. Rather than install Windows over it and starting over, I decided to install to another partition and get everything set up before doing away with the old one.
I got Windows installed and mostly everything I use installed and working. My plan was to create an image of this copy and clone it back to the original partition. That was my plan until I realized I had screwed up majorly. The second installation of Windows says it's installed to F: (I'm not sure why, since I thought each version of Windows installed sees itself as C:). Maybe because I started the installation from the other copy of Windows instead of booting straight to the install CD.
Now my question is... Is there any way to make this copy think of the drive it's installed on as C: or will I be stuck cloning it to a drive labeled F:? Thinking about it, it doesn't seem possible considering everything is looking to F: instead of C: on this installation.
Here is an image of my drive setup. C: is the old copy (where I want F: to go) [URL]

Well, I did a dual-boot system with Vista 32-bit and 7 64-bit. Now the problem is that, when I'm in Vista, the drive letter of Vista would be C: and 7 would be in B:.
But when I'm in 7, its partition would have the letter C: while Vista would have B:.
Is this normal? What would happen if I installed a program on the path C: in Windows 7?

Our screensaver is supposed to use images from the My Pictures folder, but it also displays symbols from some deep system root directory. These symbols are annoying. How do I stop them?

I'm having a weird issue. i'm not sure where or why but these symbols on my shortcuts are changing to things like a lock, a grey X, a green Check mark, or two people next to each other there are a couple of Pics attached. they seem to only appear intermittently.

I am trying to copy some symbols from "Wingdings" font using chamap. When I paste the symbols in notepad (I changed font to Wingdings for notepad) I see unknown rectangular characters. I selected this font from charmap and when I pasted this in note pad I got this:I don't know where I am doing mistake. As suggested, I made all fonts visible in C:windowsfonts folder. But I can see still see the problem.

I wanted to invert the number row keys so I dont need to press shift for printing symbols. Numbers can be typed easily from the numpad but some symbols like $_()&* are frequently used in programming, so if I could invert the keys it would be easier to type

Now i am not able to boot windows re installation dvd also. i can only take BIOS settings.

in order to restore my system . In fact when i open the system properties i realise that System Protection tab was missing. Launching the tab by its executable, SystemProtectionProperties.exe, did not launch the tab, either.
I tried to search in the registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTSystemRestoreDisableSR
I didn't find the SystemRestore Folder. I only found the Windows File Protection folder and Terminal Services folder

I have windows t pro and all of a sudden System restore has disappeared. If I type system restore in the search box, the closest thing I get is "restore your computer to am earlier time".checked c:UsersYourNameApplicationDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStartMenuProgramsAccessoriesSystem Tools and it's not their either. I have a feeling it was a Paragon Drive Clone program that screwed everything up. It even turned on system protection for one of my other drives. Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider was also off.

Have just registered to see if anyone has any ideas for a solution to a problem with my that is running Windows 7 (I think 64bit). It refuses to boot and just says "missing operating system".Using the repair option on a boot disc does not work (have tried 3 times)If I boot using a windows 7 cd/dvd I only get given the option to install windows.I can see both hard drives in the BIOS.I am able to get to a DOS prompt using the boot disc, but have no idea about DOS myself.When booting from the Windows 7 cd I was able to see the C: drive but it would not open, saying it needs formatting before use.I think that's about it, will post anything else relevant if I think of anything.

I have a msi-gx680 laptop , I used my Recovery DVDs (which I had created mine by MSI RECOVERY software on my laptop) to restore my C drive to manufacture settings. When I insert the first DVD, recovery process would start but it goes half of the way and finishes, showing (Successfully Recovery!) but it doesn't need the second or third DVD, and when I restart my laptop the phrase "Missing Operating System" would appear.

I would like to do a system restore, but when I try to do so (system protection/system restore), it tells me that "no restore points have been created on your hard drive".
2 weeks ago I successfully did a system restore, and I have not changed any settings since then. My recovery partition is still in place, the disk manager says the recovery drive has 8 GB out of 15 GB free. Could the restore point be in my recovery partition, but for some reason Windows isn't seeing it? How would I view the recovery partition to check?

with a little internet problem on a Windows 7 professional system.
Essentially, last week after an Update, I could not get back onto my driver (the hard drive is partitioned so I have a section and my other half has another). A system restore to the previous day has allowed me to access the computer again, but the internet is gone.
The OH can use the internet on the same computer (I am on his half now), so there is no fault with the modem, the cable or the internet connection per se. We have tried to restore the internet using various manual methods, but can get no further than the SetUp. At this point we get a message Error 711, and reports that the Remote Access Auto Connection Manager is not responding.
I have tried to fix this today, but cannot get onto the services to fix it - when I click on Services and go to 'run as admin', the message appears "Class not Registered". I have also had this message when trying to connect the internet by writing a manual IP address, and when looking for the IP drivers.
The OH is threatening F*kdisk which would mean I lose everything on the drive, but I do not have another solution.

I just shipped my computer out of the UK. One of the HHDs my OS was RAID 0ed to broke. Obviously I got a missing operating system error from that. So then I deleted the RAID volume and changed my boot 1st priority to my DVD drive so i could reinstall Windows on the hdd that's still alive at least.

I am getting the "Missing Operating System" message on boot. Here is the strange thing...if I change the boot order in the BIOS and have CDROM first and choose not to boot off of it Windows 7 loads fine. If I put HARDDISK first then I get the missing operating system message. I have tried running CHKDSK, BOOTREC and the plain old Windows repair util. None of them have worked.

I have run the "create system image" successfully until today. I have an external HD for that image file. It appears to run, goes through the steps and says it has created the image. But when I go to the external HD and click on the Image file that was created there is nothing there. It shows 0. What could I have done to do this. I even looked for that image file on my C: drive, just in case, but it is not there either.
