I have a Dell Inspiron One 2305 model. Is the "Drivers and Utilities" CD that came with the computer the disc I would use to reinstall the OS and original software that was bundled with the computer when new.

The problem is this: She lost the CDs that came with the computer. My current plan is to use a CD key-finding program, get the CD key, and use it in conjunction with a legally purchased Windows 7 Home Premium OEM DVD bought off of Newegg.com. Will this work?

For example, if I am in Outlook and click 'New', the new mail window opens behind the main Outlook window.Also, I do not think the issue is specific to Outlook but I cant repeat it consistently enough with any other application to be sure.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to windows 7 - which I don't like. Also don't like new laptop but I'm stuck with it till I can save for something else. I wanted to change the default font on the desktop. And after looking around found that you can change the font type by going to personalize, colors, advance. You can't change the desktop font but you can change it for different areas such as the start menu and desktop icons. So I changed the font style to Arial Black for both. But I don't like it. It's too large. But now I cannot seem to restore it back to it's original settings.Can someone tell me how to restore the settings back to default?

View 5 Replies View Relatedi was trying to find out on the net how to format my old xbox 360 hdd for pc since i can't use it anyways because i got the new xbox that doesn't use those anymore so i stumbled across a thread showing how to do it and i thought i would explain how to do this so you can use it as a normal external HDD.first what you need is a xbox hdd and a xbox 360 hard drive transfer cable
1.download a tool called Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool link: [URL]
2.once you install that start the hard disk low level format tool and select your xbox 360 HDD?
3.click the tab called low-level format?
4.Then click "format this device" and wait a while for it to finish formatting the xbox hdd?
5.When its finished formatting go to your windows start menu right click on computer and choose manage?
6.click on the tab called disk management and there should be your xbox hdd but un-formated so your going to have to make it NTFS format and right click on it and make a new simple volume. If it does not allow you to make a new simple volume then right click were it says disk on the side like for example disk1 depending how many HDD's your pc has and choose convert to GPT disk,mines already formatted should look similar just without the NTFS and custom named hdd?
7.once that is done it should make your xbox HDD usable on your pc like any normal pc HDD ?
I installed a 60 gig SSD realizing it is too small after windows says there is only 55 gigs on the SSD instead of 60 ? After doing some reading, this is considered normal ?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi have an acer aspire notbook with vista home premium original and fully licend by manufacture.. now when i installed windows 7 ultimate and activated it.. the boot menu become like this
windows 7 ultimate (recovered)
windows vista home premium (recovered)
now when i start windows 7 it starts with vista green bar not with windows 7 new logo..
how can i get back the original menu without the word (recovered) , and for sure get the windows 7 logo back .. with the activation validated with it.
But my biggest obstacle is that I am just a layperson with very little knowledge of computer lingo. plain non-technical language. LOLMy HP touchsmart tm2 crashed a few weeks ago after I tried making a recovery disk using drive D on the laptop (which wasn't the smartest thing I could've done!). After a 4 hours, I got the error message that I did not have enough space. But when I tried to undo it by doing a restore point prior to the recovery disk making, it did not work and i ended up with zero memory left on my computer which led to the computer crashing. When I tried a factory reset, it did not work and i ended up with a computer that does not boot... some error i could not recall anymore.
Bottomline, I had my computer sent to a "technician" here in my city who said there was no way to boot my computer except to replace the OS.... which he did by putting a Windows 7 Ultimate operating system into my computer. It now works fine... EXCEPT for the fact that this is a pirated software. He warned me not to do updates on it as it will detect the illegal software and freeze my laptop. I cannot live with the fact that I am now using an "illegal" software when by rights, I still should be able to use the original "legal" one which came with my laptop when I purchased it.My other problem is that I did not create a recovery disk way back when i first got this laptop, so I couldn't do it from there. I have the product key to my windows 7 OS but i am not sure which version of windows 7 came with my laptop originally, i only know that my laptop has a windows 7 sticker on it plus the product key sticker in the back.
After successfull installation few months ago, and perfect operations, I had lately to decide to re-install everything following a tough virus issue. My problem is, when booting from the original Windows 7 pro 64 installation disc, I get the following message:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not ......
File:windowssystem32configsystem
Status: 0xc0000001
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
I cannot understand this message, because I am using the original installation disc.
PS: My HDD is already formated via 3rd party application.
While trying to restore all the original files using SFC, I just encountered this error: SFC /scannow Found but could not fix some Corrupt files. I am trying to restore all my default files from theme modifications. I restored already all the back up files that was used by the theme patcher all the .dll's and .cpl etc. Then I run SFC just to make sure everything was restored, then that error occurs.
