View 1 Repliesi need to have a task run that will move the contents of a folder from one computer to another over my home LAN. Files get downloaded during the night on one computer and then need to be transfered to another. Usually I am doing this by hand, but then though maybe I could get the task scheduler to do it for me.I understand how to create a task, however I am having trouble with the action tab. I was thinking that I should start windows explorer (where is explorer located for win 7 x64 machines?) under the action tab, but once I do this I am not sure how to tell explorer to check the source folder, select all the files in it and then move it to the target folder.

The game is patched to it's latest version, I have direct x all other runtimes and PhysX installed from the CD. The shortcut it set to run as Admin in compatibility. No matter if i try with the desktop shortcut or from the exe in the folder or from the shortcut in the start menu the game will crash asap. The only way this game runs is by pulling up task manager and selecting New Task then browsing to the games exe. Malwarebytes reports no viruses or any malware. Tried reinstalling, and it didn't help.

I had already setup a task to run upon logon when I noticed that the PC's name was all jacked. So I changed the pc's name and rebooted. After reboot the task disappeared from the task scheduler list but still runs. Is there anyway to remove this ghost task when it is no longer visible in the task scheduler?I thought about changing the name back temporarily to see if the task would show up but I have no idea what that name was, so that is not an option.

I have a Win7 Ultrabook. I'm using Areca backup software to backup my personal data.I created a Scheduled Task to run my backup weekly.I set it so that it would wake from sleep to run the task.

Is it possible to do so?In the alternative, is there something I can insert in my batch file (the scheduled task runs a bat file) to tell my book to enter sleep mode?

So, as long as I back up my files using back up and restore then when RC1 comes along I just install then restore and all will be the same as beta was before nuking it? Sounds simple enough what could possibly go wrong that is my question. I am using a usb flash drive for backing up. Will there be a conflict between Fat and NTFS ?
So I have been having some trouble with my windows os recently and decided to reinstall from a backup that I had made before of (C I read up about attaching VHD files in computer management and it worked at first...

Now if I try and mount the skinny cursor will appear for a second and nothing will happen.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI own an HP G70 laptop which came preinstalled with vista. I received a free copy of Windows 7 (as an .iso image) with a legitimate activation code through MSDNAA. I burned the image to a DVD and install Windows 7 from the burned disk doing the necessary task of formatting the hard drive, etc. etc. Now, before I started installing programs and putting my files back from back up disks, the idea of making a system image right when I first started up Windows went over my head (fail on my part), so if I were to make one now, it would be over a 30GB. Now, if my hard drive were to go bad, can I just restore Windows 7 with the installation disc I made instead of making a system image or recovery partition?

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?

When windows are finishing to show "Windows starting" screen, computer restarts instantly.Then system autimatically suggests me to repair it, so ok then auto repairs are scaning and guess what it can't repair, because it finds some kind of problem with drivers, could be that they are incompatible with my new PC.how to make this work, how to fix issue that old PC's drivers are being loaded, maybe I am able to turn it off so default drivers are being loaded?The reason why I want to make this work cause I want to use it for multiple computers.

A few months ago I upgraded my Sony Vaio E-series Laptop memory from 4gb to 8gb of RAM. Within the hour of the upgrade I received a few blue screens closing windows in order to protect it (best I can recall of the message) from a certain threat. (I believe it is good to note that I play Global Agenda, which I probably shouldn't since its an i3 2.4 Ghz without a video card) I let the computer rest that day and afterwards it has been working fine (with the occasional blue screen crash whenever the computer's fan runs high) Recently the number of blue screen crashes has increased when ever I would run processor heavy programs such as Vegas Pro 11 (video editing) or even Global Agenda when the computer is cool. It eventually got to the point where windows explorer would freeze sometimes (and it would take a while to unfreeze) I eventually couldn't take it so I concluded that something was either wrong with the hard drive or a virus which AVG or Kaspersky couldn't detect.
First before booting up to windows I pressed F10 to bring up Vaio Care Recovery (or something along those lines.) I believe I skipped the restore point restore and went strait to erase or format the hard drive. The process started after a ten second countdown and stopped at 43% giving me this error message:"An Error occurred while executing an application. The operation was not completed. Shut down your computer then try the operation again after Reboot.Error:320"
I tried formatting the hard drive about 4-6 times each with the same message. I quit. Then I found two recovery discs that I had created earlier. One I wrote "Vaio Backup Disk" which was on a Duel Layer DVD and the other "Repair Disc Windows 7 Boot Disk" on a CD-R. I inserted the Repair Disc and windows loaded files containing system recovery options. A window opened up containing the following message about either Restoring your computer using a system image or use the recovery tools that can help fix problems starting windows. == One thing to note is that in the middle was a graph showing operating systems - partition size - and location. There were none of those shown; no operating system or what so ever == So apparently I couldn't choose system restore point since there was no system to restore. I eventually got to the command prompt and choose to finish the job that Vaio Care Restore couldn't which was to format the hard drive. I looked through the internet, found out how to do it and formatted everything that had to do with the storage (didn't touch the recovery partition). == I had about 4 volumes. C: D: E: F:. I believe I combined C: and D: since there was no need to have them partitioned. And finally formatted them. I tried formatting the Recovery partition, but it wouldn't let me. == After all of this I inserted a Windows 7 Home Edition installation disc but one of three things would pop up after the Vaio logo. One would say that bootmgr is missing. (this is the most recent message and the rest have popped up in the past, but do not continue to do so.) Other messages would say that there is no operating system found, or if it reads the disc at all that a certain file in the boot folder is not valid or found. I am pretty sure that the installation disc works because it launches right away on my other computers.
I want to restore my laptop to factory settings, but I don't have a Windows 7 installation CD. I was just wondering if, when I restore to factory settings (since I don't have another point to restore to), will my laptop be wiped completely? Since I don't have any installation CDs or anything, I don't want to restore it to factory settings if it'll wipe it completely.will it wipe my laptop blank or restore it to the point it was at when I started it following purchasing it (all the basic programs and such already installed)?
