Well i did a slow format to install windows 7 again in the same Hard Disk, the surprise is when after do a new clean installation, when it finish and let you write your user name and the name of your computer it says: Now write your username (for example: Juan) Juan was the name of my old installation user, and i dont know why it can recognize it if its a clean installation.

i do not understand. can cores go bad separate?
the problem is if I create a new task for the task scheduler which is having multiple triggers, only the first entered trigger is recogized and used. E.g., I have two weekly triggers to execute a program. The first selects Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri to run the program. The second selects the weekend to run the program, i.e. Sat, Sun. --> Now, the program starts only on Mon to Fri. The Sat/Sun trigger is neglected and the program doesn't start on the weekend.If I delete the first Mon-Fri trigger, suddenly the weekend trigger is recognized. If I then add the Mon-Fri trigger again (now as second trigger), it remains unoticed, i.e., only the weekend trigger remains used.In all cases I made sure the triggers were set "active".

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe computer I'm using is older (3+ years) and has frustrated me a few times, most notably in the past 2 months.
That said, this is a new problem. My second (DVI) monitor is detected by Windows but doesn't display anything. In both the display settings and the NVIDIA control panel, I can see a second (Impression) monitor, but it's blank and I can't get it to show anything. In fact, the monitor doesn't seem to recognize that it's connected, because the orange "power but no input" light is on rather than the green "power and input" light.
This is a Windows 7 64-bit installation on a Dell Dimension E520.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. The BIOS sees both hard drives and the CD and DVD drive and the Windows Device Manager shows the extra hard drive and both optical drives. When I click the folder in the task bar (Libraries) I can only see "C" drive and no optical drives either. When I click on the CD drive I get the right menues for it, but it does not work at all. If I put a CD in the drive it locks up the system and I have to power off the computer before I can eject it.

I had a bunch of zipped font folders on my computer the other day and was installing them without issue, but I clicked something, and they all instantly turned to PDFs. I deleted them all. But now, when I download fonts, my PC no longer recognizes the folders as zipped files containing fonts for me to extract. It gives me the option of opening it with Acrobat or Irfanview or it tells me to choose a default program. I lost my computer in a tornado storm and got a new one and need to have certain fonts installed for a book I'm working on.

Our Sony Vaio laptop has several user accounts on it. Today I got an older keyboard with a ps/2 connector at a garage sale and connected it to the vaio with a ps/2 to USB adaptor. It worked for a few minutes, then suddenly the (new) keyboard stopped being recognized. I unplugged the keyboard, and now the vaio laptop keyboard no longer works - it's not recognized. I tried the vaio keyboard troubleshooting software without success.The curious thing is that this problem only exists on this one user account. Other accounts on the vaio work fine and recognize the keyboard, so I've messed up only one account's settings somehow. Other than nuking that account (with lots of personal settings and customizing)

I have just got Windows 7 Ultimate.I accept the Licence Agreement, set my partitions as i want them but when it gets to the expanding files part it will hang at 0%.

This board does not support parted magic (cannot wake from sleep and there are no onboard video to wake up to) so ive resorted to clean all.I have not been able to successfully boot the OS on the SSD. I never intended on setting up raid but apparently all the literature i see is on raid.

First, my laptop is a Aspire 5250-BZ853. I received it back in October, I think...may've been earlier. But anyhow, it was working just fine yesterday until I did a Windows Update. I had to restart, and it was fine again. But then it began running sluggishly slow, and just terrible overall so I restarted it once more and that was when the problems began.
This entire day, this has been driving me nuts. I have important files on here, and I backed up most on my external harddrive a bit ago but there were a few I missed and hadn't the chance to get (ironically enough the most important, papers and such.) At first, it said my password was wrong -- as if someone had changed it! I restarted it once more, thinking it an error or something, and did that again so I restarted it again. Finally, it worked but I think it logged me in as safe mode somehow. After that, it restarted on its own and began this loop. I did a LOT of searching on Google until finally someone suggested to someone else to try pressing "ALT + F10" I think it was as it was starting, and finally I made progress. Before that, it was just going into a constant rebooting loop and I couldn't even log into safe mode. Trying to reset it back to a time it was working was futile, because it said there was no recovery time there! So that shot that idea down. At last, I got somewhere.as well. I clicked the reset to factory settings, but still keep all the files (and they would be saved to "C:Backup" and I thought it had finally worked. But now as it reinstalls, I got an error saying something about how it needed to restart or something...so when I clicked "okay" it began again, and finally it all just came to a stop on "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell inspiron 4010 laptop with Windows 7. I am unable to log on. It appears to be starting up, i get the windows is starting up splash screen, but then it will go to the screen that says that windows failed to start, recent hardware or sofware change might be the cause and to insert installation CD and also lists the safe mode options. This screen keeps looping. None of the safe mode (or regular mode) options work, and when i try one of them the screen shows the loading windows files before restarting the safe mode options screen again.
I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, and was somehow able to boot from the DVD, but it doesn't seem to be working this time. when i try to boot from the repair DVD, the repair your computer option doesn't work (start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically and if i want to send information on this problem), nor do any of my system restore points. I just get a message that says an unspecified error occurred during system restore 0x800700b7 or an unspecified error occurred during system restore 0x8000ffff
I have been trying various times to boot from the DVD, pressing f8, etc. but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure how but at one time the screen said file fwpkclnt.sys 0xc00000f failed to load because the required file is missing or corrupt. but that hasn't shown up again.
Is there anything i can do? I would prefer not to lose all of my programs, documents, pictures, etc.

I am still quite puzzled as to how are you supposed to install the Windows 7 OS without an actual CD? I've only done it previously with XP home edition and I had a CD. If you still do not understand what I mean, I'm confused on how will the OS, during installation, gather the information when there's no CD inside to read from?
My second question would be, which one of the versions (Home, Professional, Ultimate) is the best for GAMING? I have no need for security, but anything that would make my games, internet, etc run smoother would be of use.
I am having trouble installing Windows 7 (currently using XP). I am booting off from the CD and it passes the "Loading Windows Files" (with the gray bar) and also passes the "Starting Windows" black screen with the logo. But after that, only the blue screen background pops up. The "Install Windows" screen for me to select languages does not pop up. After a minute, the disc just stops spinning. I am getting a sense that it would not load after countless times of restarting my computer to see if it does. I just bought the Windows 7 Home Premium from Amazon two days ago.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had purchased Windows 7 upgrade about 2 years ago, downloaded and saved it as an ISO CD. I just had to format my hard drive and re-install. The installation completed but never asked for my Key Code. I checked Control Panel > System and found a temporary key code valid only for 15 days. When I changed the key code, I was advised of a "failure" because this Windows 7 was an "upgrade." Yes, I had upgraded from XP. Must I re-install XP and then install W-7 as an upgrade?
