I read in Classic Shell's FAQ that I can add a button for e.g. Agent Ransack to my Windows Explorer toolbar, to do searches. I know how to add that button so that it launches Agent Ransack, but I want Agent Ransack's search location to be the folder in which I clicked the button. I suspect that I need to edit the shortcut properties, but with what?
I can currently right-click any folder and select "Agent Ransack" and it will use that folder as the search location. But I want the ability to click a shortcut while a folder is already open (otherwise I have to go up to the parent folder, and then right-click the folder and select Agent Ransack, and then down into the folder to open it up again).
When I start up my computer, my Steam starts up, then I manually start Chrome. Chrome comes up fine, Steam does too, but when I try to right click on Steam and click friends, all it does is create another steam process running at 100-108 K. Then if I close Chrome and try to reopen it, it will do the same. This happens with EVERY program after I start up. There's a 5 second window where I can open programs without issue, then after that it will only start 108 K copies of them. It takes me around 30 restarts just to get it working properly, if not more.
There's the notebook came with Win7 x86 and also an Accounting program that someone ( not me really ) needed.He used to work with this software for last years with Windows XP.but the developer says it needs Microsoft Agent that is not supported into Windows 7.
I recently bought a new computer:old was 5 year old gateway with xp - ran good just old New is acer with win 7 x64 home premium.I was using my Seagate Freeagent desktop 1 tb as a networked drive - connected through the laptop and sharing folders to be able to watch movies on an older desktop hooked up to the tv.So now I have the network going with the new pc and everything is great. I turn off the acer for the night, come back in the morning, and the freeagent is gone - its connected but windows does not see it. I check device manger, and nothing, So I pull out the usb cable, replug it in and it shows back up on My Computer and the device manager.This is the issue every time i turn the computer off. Now I dont want to have to unplug it every time i turn the computer back on. I tried a few other usb thumb drives - none have this issue only the hard drive. I would reformat it but it is close to full - but has more data on it then i can put on the computer to save from a reformat.
recommendations on a hardware/software inventory tool that comes with an agent.I manage a windows network of about 150 machines and would like to be able to install the agent on each machine and then get an overview of all the machines on the network with list all their installed hardware and software. Also we have laptops that leave the network. I would like them to "phone home" once in a while to check in.The reason I'm looking for an agent vs agent-less is I don't want to have to poke holes in the local firewalls or have to configure remote access per machine. Just looking to deploy the agent. Spiceworks almost does all this but doesn't have a stable agent yet as far as I know.
I built a new PC lastnight with a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 motherboard and installed Windows 7 64-bit (or so I thought). Everything was working fine.I then installed the drivers for the chipset, integrated graphics etc from the disk that came with the motherboard. After restarting, Windows started to boot (got past the animation) and then got stuck on a black screen.I booted it in safe mode, and went to add/remove programs to start uninstalling the new drivers, and accidentally uninstalled something called Intel Control Center by inadvertently hitting a key.I thought I may as well try restarting and it booted into Windows fine. At this stage, I realized I had accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Windows, so did a fresh install as 64-bit.
This time, I got the latest Intel drivers for the integrated graphics from the Gigabyte site and installed only them. Restarted and it worked fine.This morning I turned on the PC and seemed to be working fine, changed the location of the pagefile and rebooted and it got stuck at the same place, just before opening Windows. I booted it in safe mode again, and removed the Intel drivers and rebooted and it opened Windows.I am at a bit of a loss as what to do now, because I need the Intel drivers to get the right HD resolution and am not sure what else I can try, or why it seemed to work okay sometimes but not at others.
doing routine vaio check just got message Intel turbo boost technology driver won't start i've tried updating it won't do it.btw i am a novice with pcs on the properties notice it will not let me roll back either.
When you right-click while on a folder in Windows Explorer, "search" isn't working. It complains that "This file does not have a program associated with it..." I presume I somehow clobbered something, somewhere. How do I get this working again?In installed Agent Ransack for doing searches, and it works fine from the context menu (right click while in Windows Explorer) for ANY folder EXCEPT the top level disk... So, I can search "Program Files" just fine, but I can't search "c:"... The command doesn't show up in the context menu at the disk level. How do I add it?
So ive been getting the black screen with movable cursor lately and have tried many a methods to remove it i tried checking in my event log for something, and this is waht it said "The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:dtsoftbus01" So what does this mean and how can i fix this?
Monday couldn't boot up PC, had to go to system recovery and restore to previous day.
Log files show below that 4 things failed to load. Tuesday couldn't boot up PC again.. tried to restart like 4-5 times.. Finally comes up and in the logs there's numerous things that failed to load. Running a sfc /scannow right now.
I found corrupted system files, but it appears that the hard disk is fine. executed chkdsk and no bad sectors.Just looked into this on event viewer-The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:xsoaynmfmfxpefxbozedltnzvijcvI am running Acer Aspire X3950-U3022 with Windows 7 Home Premium Home Edition.
I'm not sure where to even begin to fix these problems. Some online searches suggested doing a system repair but I want to get some more feedback here before proceeding.Here is the message from the event log:The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AFD cmdGuard cmdHlp CSC DfsC discache ElbyCDIO
[code]...
I realized some of these are not Windows 7 related but most are. While the computer "works", I do experience frequent reboots and freezes. Perhaps some of these driver loading failures are part of the cause of my issues.
not even a month old Acer Aspire one netbook w/ windows 7 home prem. Today it froze, so i had to push power button to shut down.Upon reboot, this is the message I got on top of black screen:[CODE]
new to the site but long time MCSE etc blah blah...
I'm running a HP nx8430 laptop. 3GB Ram Ati display etc.
I recently installed an INTEL X25-M SATA SOLID STATE drive and installed Windows 7 RC on it.
Now I've been running the Beta's and various builds since last november and it's been fine. Boot times have been great and performance amazing.
Since installing this SSD though my laptop now takes about 5 minutes to move on from the boot logo!!! 5 minutes no joke! The hard drive light goes solid for this entire time and the logo throbs like it does. And then finally it displays CTRL ALT DEL...
I have tried all sorts from the BIOS drive settings to MSCONFIG settings etc. Nothing changes it.
It's the same coming out of hibernate too. 5 minutes + before the mouse or KB start to respond to input.
All other forums posts I've read all say it boots in about 40 seconds with an SSD. I'm on the verge of going back to my SATA disk as this is almost unusable on a daily basis.
Once into the OS it flies! Apps open instantly and everything runs SOOOO well it's just this boot time that's killing me.
Recently I built a new computer. This was the first time I'd ever done so and I had a lot of fun doing it. I got everything to work and have been happily using said computer for the last week. Until now.As of this morning, when I start up my computer I get an error that says Windows was unable to start. After spending a while trying to repair it told me it could not find the problem. I tried system recovery a few times, which solved nothing.After trouble shooting for a bit, I found this in the Diagnosis and Repair Details: "Rootcause found:Boot critical file D:Windowssystem32DRIVERSjaStor.sys is corrupt"
I'm creativitRy and I followed the guide to remove smart HDD recently for a week, it was fine but one day (when i tried to start on my homework) my computer was unable to start!It just showed the windows logo and restart.I tried using safe mode and startup repair but nothing is working.I also do not have any backup because my computer is extremely slow
My computer was operating on battery, without warning the battery died. After plugging the computer to power and turning it back on, it takes me directly to:"Startup Repair" "Your computer was unable to start Startup Repair is checking your system for problems If problems are found, start up repair will fix them automatically. Your computer might restart several times during this process. No changes will be made to your personal files or information. This might take several minutes." Followed by a loading bar that says searching for problems. After leaving this on for a while it gives the system restore option, however this just takes me back to the previous screen. I cannot cancel the Start up repair and I can't access safemode. After searching for over an hour the only solution i've found so far is reinstall the OS, however my computer did not come with the OS disc
I have an asus u45jc laptop. I have had this problem so much. Basically when i start my computer, it would work. Then i shut it down. The next time i start my computer it would not work and then i need to shut it off and then turn it back on.
I've been trying to get 3ds Max working for quite a bit now. I used it before and it was fine, but it was before Windows 7 came out, I think I was on the beta or RC version back then.Anyway, whenever I try to install 3ds max (I've tried 2008, 2009, and now 2010) and when I try to launch it, I get this error[CODE]
my system installed some windows update files and following this i am unable to boot my system.it runs in safe mode but i am unable to revert back the changes.tried system restore which doesnt work.start up repair was also unable to fix the problem.
I formatted my desktop today, and now - sadly - i have issues.What happened was: I formatted - No issues. Windows Booted and all was good.I proceeded to install all the updates labelled "Windows" and anything else system related (No drivers, no third party stuff) Only stuff from microsoft. I have tested all things (Startup Repair, Bios Check and so on). When selecting "Start up windows normally" It continues to the boot screen, stays on it for a few seconds. Then bluescreens and restarts faster than i can see the damn error code or anything.
I recently rebuilt my pc with a gigabyte ga h77m d3h and core i3 2120 with 512m dedicated to on board graphics. The computer will start fine after you do the fresh install of windows 7 prof. 64 bit with the default video driver from windows. I've updated my bios using gigabyte's @bios tool and I've tried installing th drivers from the disc, from intel's website and with automatic update in device manager. Could a corrupt windows install file cause this issue? I downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft website when I bought the product key.
I have a re-occurring problem with my 1year old Sony Vaio. When I switch it on, it often goes to a page where it says 'windows was unable to start'. When I press 'start windows normally' it starts up with vaio logo and sometimes windows logo, but then stops and redirects me to a page that is blue to check for problems, but stays on this for hours, never resolving the issue. I have tried taking battery out, booting in safe mode (which doesn't work) and using last known working settings, but still can't get to log in page.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and yesterday I did my first image backup using Acronis True Image 2011 (I'd previously been using an earlier version with no problems.)
When the backup completed I told the computer to shut down and it went to a screen that said the following:
"Operations in progress. Please wait. The machine will be turned off automatically after the operations are complete."
The screen had a blue background with the blue ring with the white bit going round and round to the left of the text and the Windows 7 Ultimate logo at the bottom.
I left the computer and came back over an hour later and the computer had gone into standby. When I pressed the start button the same screen was still displaying so I left it for a couple more hours and came back to it and the same thing happened. I turned the computer off at the back and switched it on again this morning. I got the "Starting Windows" screen and then it went straight back to the "Operations in progress..." message.

I have a Gateway desktop running windows 7 -64. While the system was powered on with no activity, it shut down and started to re-boot. Now every time I try to start the system it gives the message 'Reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media and select'. From this screen you can't do anything. I'm not able to start in safe-mode either. I can get F12 to work to get to boot manager.
