Setup During Install Creating The Administrator Name And Password

Mar 12, 2011

I just purchased a new HP laptop that has Windows 7 Home Premium install setup on the hard drive. I started and completed the installation. But I don't remember during the install asking me for an Administrator Name & Password. After the installation was completed I did the Recovery Disks, but have not yet rebooted the laptop. When is the Admin Name and Password created? I remember seeing a Rick-PC during the install, but I don't remember it asking for me to input a password. Am I fretting prematurely, or do I need to reboot, or can I use the Recovery Disks to start over?

I've been using an old PC with Windows XP. And I checked out 3 books on Windows 7 at the Library.

Windows 7 Starter Getting Error On Initial Setup; Locked In Setup Loop?

Oct 5, 2011

one of the netbooks was plugged in to initially power it up, but then hard-shut-down before Windows could run through its initial setup.Now when I boot up the netbook, and it attempts to go through the initial windows setup "Setup is starting services", and then throws an error message: The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.I restart, and the cycle continues. This happens whether I try to boot normally or in safe modeI've got no CD-drive attached to it, so I'm not sure what I can do to break this error cycle.

Setup Can't Continue, Restart The Computer And Restart Setup

Oct 28, 2009

I am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows7 Home Premium and I got this message after the installer copied ~2GB of files on my PC:

"setup can't continue. restart the computer and restart setup. when prompted try getting the latest updates."

I restarted the PC and restarted the setup and I got the same message. I updated the Mother Board Bios and restarted the setup I got the same message. I have tried both options (get update and no update during the setup). And it didn't work.

I do not want to do custom install (fresh install) on my computer.

No "Remember Credentials" Choice In XP Mode Setup Wizard

Aug 19, 2012

I've just freshly restored the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition image from the restore DVDs for my Thinkpad. Once I had completely installed all relevant Lenovo and Microsoft updates, I set up Windows XP mode while still logged in as the administrative user, an error. There was the option to remember user credentials in the second panel of the XP Mode Wizard which I selected and verified that the resulting XP Mode VM did autologin as required (integration mode was automatically started as well).

So I logged off that Windows 7 account and started the XP Mode Wizard in my usual standard user account, but this time there was NO "Remember credentials" option available in the second panel of the XP Mode wizard.

I logged back into the administrative Windows 7 account, deleted all the XP Mode files, and started the XP Mode set-up wizard again, and this time there was NO "Remember credentials" in the second panel.

In each case, the VM's "Delete credentials" button in the relevant VM settings page is greyed out, as is the ticked option to remember credentials lower down in that settings page. Integration is auto-started as well.

How can I restore the "remember credentials" function for XP Mode?

It Hangs On Setup

Jul 25, 2011

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my notebook. It currently has Vista and the computer will not boot up at all. It will not let me go into safe mode, or even system recovery. The memory and hard drive are both fine (based on the tests.) Whenever it boots from the Windows 7 disc it goes to "Setup is starting." and just hangs there. I've let it sit for about 40 mins and I really doubt it needs more time. I've searched on this a little but none of the solutions seem to work.

How To Setup BIOS

Dec 30, 2010

I have two SATA hard drives. I was poking around in the BIOS yesterday and noticed that they were setup IDE instead of AHCI. I am not sure what either does and did not want to change anything without asking. When I first got my PC, it had XP installed, so I am thinking that is why IDE is set. Do I need to change it to AHCI? I am not having any problems. Would it be of any great advantage to change it? I understand that after the OS is installed, it is a problem to switch to AHCI.

No Sound With SLi Setup?

Jul 14, 2012

I bought a 2nd 580 3GB GPU fitted it in no probs, and apart from trying to figure out which DVI slot runs the display (for some reason it wasnt the original) - got SLi up and running. However the first thing I did was to benchmark it with the "Heaven" demo - it ran (with audio) and then spluttered and crashed.Since then I have no sound on the PC... apart from via the TVThe PC is hooked up to a hi-fi usually via line-out 3.5mm jack. Since the upgrade this wont work at all. Sound only comes via the option of the TV in audio settings. Ive disabled that, and saw "speakers" were not plugged in (when they were). After much tooing and froing I googled this and found it may be a Realtek setting. I enabled "front ports" via Realtex and the speaker icon re-appeared, I tested the unit - NO SOUND!! However the green "level" bars show up for both back panel and front panel but nothing is heard. Ive tried a different set of speakers, different cable and different OS but same issue.

Ive tried uninstalling the Nvidia drivers thinking it could be their HD Definition Audio driver, also went into Nvidia control panel and saw an option for the GPUs audio to be turned off - still nothing. Tried disabling onboard audio via BIOS - still nothing.Tested my hi-fi - works fine.Its my worry that something may have borked up on the motherboard (Rampage 4 Extreme)

Computer Setup

Sep 13, 2009

So i just build my computer.....well upgraded from quad core 9550 to core i7 now with my old computer, i was thinking of making that a data server, and having my main rig just os and applications and having the serve on a 2 gig connection to the network does that seem feasible. I have 4 1tb hard drives i wanted to do them in a raid 5 however the Intel controller on the x58 chipset will not let me do non boot raid setup so i can only get 2tb max in that setup.

The i know on board raid isn't the best but raid controller cards are expensive. I will basically use this server for all my data, website creation movies, and music store. i have my os on a raid 0 2x 300gb veloci raptor. Let me know what your ideas are.
