Windows 7 Won't Work
Aug 27, 2010
I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. I could not load into Windows so I tried the command prompt and did DISKPART, and activated a hidden partition, which is the E Drive. Now the problem is I cannot get back into the Command Prompt because I believe the E Drive is activated and not the C Drive.I have the Toshiba Recovery Disk, but when I load it up, it goes to the Starting Windows screen and then after that, a black screen with only the mouse arrow. Also, going through Safe Mode gets me back to the Starting Windows screen and then the black screen again. I think I need to get into the Command Prompt to fix the DISKPART to activate the C Drive, but I'm not sure.

My work programs require XP and supposedly will not function on windows 7 nor the XP mode of same. I need a new computer, most likely a laptop, so I can work while traveling. I can't buy XP anymore. Any suggestions other than a new job?

So this problem started yesterday afternoon. I didn't download anything, but suddenly I was unable to browse the web. I tried all the web browsers I have but no websites would load. But skype and teamspeak still work.

Some links don't work in IE8 that work very nicely in Firefox. I'm running Win7 Home Premium. Is there a patch fix for this from Microsoft?

I need to install Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 (64-bit, SP1). Firstly, there's no download link for Windows 7 on the Microsoft Download page as apparently all Windows 7 installations already have IE8 installed. Mine doesn't - I have IE9, and on add/remove Windows components, IE9 is my only option.
Secondly, using the download link for IE8 for Vista x64 doesn't work, even when running with compatibility mode for Vista, the installation fails, for an unknown reason.
Thirdly, downloading the developer pack IEAK8 and using that to generate my own custom build of IE8 for Win7 failed because despite choosing the x64 option, it refuses to build anything except an x86 version, which of course won't run on my x64 OS. I'm kinda running out of options here. There doesn't seem to be a version of IE8 available for Windows 7 - but surely developers etc must be able to install it for troubleshooting?.

I HATE Live Mail in Windows 7. Yeah, I know there are other programs. My question is: Will Outlook Express work in Windows 7. That Skydrive is a pain.

Basically, the screensaver won't work in Windows 7. My laptop is a 32bit system with 2GB of RAM so not old. I upgraded about a year ago from Vista to Windows 7. Symptoms: the screensaver doesn't work - the screen is just blank. When I try to change the screensaver in Control Panel and preview it, it won't preview even after 'Apply'. There are only 4 or so screensaver options such as Bubbles and Mystify but none seem to work. I am aware of a problem with the Bubbles screensaver via the internet but am not sure if this is a problem. I sometimes get an error box up when I awake the laptop (error OXc0000017). When I tried to install a new screensaver, it wouldn't install and I got the same error message/code. I have changed the power settings now so the display never goes off but I don't think this will change things.

I had an issue with my computer so I re-installed Windows 7, but now my sound won't work =/ On the keyboard there is a shortcut to raise the volume or decrease the volume and a green bar used to pop up to show what percentage my sound was at and now that won't even show up. I went into properties and it says my device is installed properly ..

I've been facing ever since I reformatted the system. I'm using wireless keyboard and when ever the machine is turned on, it wouldn't respond for the keyboard or mouse at the login screen. I have to force shut down and turn it on back to make it recognize. The second time works like a charm. Sometimes audio won't work for the first time but force restart solves it. I don't know why but I did install all the drivers.

I am having trouble getting a scanner to work with windows 7. The computer recognises the printer but not the scanner. I have tried 3 different multi-function printers with the same result. Using a HP Photosmart C4480 an error message 8,[(02-21474672590] comes up. I thought i might need to re-install windows 7 as re-installing the printer drivers does not solve the problem - or could it be a hardware problem, although I have tried plugging in to 2 different USB ports on the computer.

I have been trying to perform these updates for a month or 2 now but I always get the same errors. I get Error Codes 80073701 and 800F081E (see attached)
Clicking on "get help with this error" is useless, as you'd expect from Microsoft. According to Microsoft these are "important updates".
All other updates install correctly. I dont really care too much for IE9, but I figure Windows 7 SP1 (for 64 bit machine) might have some importance for security.!

My wife was fiddling on Facebook and her PC crashed. It boots to a repair message, but fails each time with an error about a corrupt registry. I have tried all the "F8" options, but it keeps going to the same repair screen, which fails each time.It has two HDDs, so I am busy (DOS) copying files from the C: drive to the D: drive, but I would rather repair than reinstall.

I have my Win 7 PC set to back up to an external HD and have yet to get a successful backup. The Action Center gives me the message:Windows Backup failed while trying to read from the shadow copy on one of the volumes being backed up.When I look in the event viewer, I find the following error: The backup operation that started at [date] has failed with following error code '2147942405' (General access denied error).I've searched for that error code but haven't found any useful info. I've confirmed that both the Volume Shadow Copy and SPP Notification services are running. I suspect file permissions may be involved. The files I'm backing up are on both the original C: drive and another internal drive I added.

I tried the downloads from Epson site and from posting suggestions and was able to get the Scan option to work, BUT NOT the Smart Panel portion. Which is where the Copy Utility and OCR functions are, among other functions. I need these to work. The buttons on scanner don't work either.

I've tried 3 games so far. Max Payne 3 and Sleeping Dogs doesn't work but Botanicula does. Max Payne 3 and Sleeping Dogs are complaining for missing .dll files but I doubt that Windows 7 optimized .dll files will solve the issue.
The games' setup were run on Windows 7 targeted to an external drive, and I'm trying to use the same drive with the Windows 7 games installed on Windows 8 right now. So do I have to reinstall them on Windows 8?
Note that the Windows 7 Compatibility Mode for the .exe files didn't work.

My computer stopped yesterday and it was almost 7 years old, so I decided to buy a new one. I did it and I got KOMPAQ presario PC CQ5521f AMD, with win 7 home premium 64 bit, and 640 Gb hard drive and 3 GB of memory. Everything works great except some programs will not work in the windows 7, but they work well on XP. Now, I made one partition of 82 GB on C drive and I transferred the image of XP, which I had on an external hard drive and it was an excellent working XP. Now, I would like to have dual booting. I like to boot or XP or win 7. It does boot just win 7 and does not see added partition. What can I do to have dual booting?

there are multiple Windows 7 upgrade deals out there, but i was wondering instead of installing vista first would you be able to just install the RTM and put the key in there and all will be good?
Also, has OEM pricing been released at all yet?

I have recently ordered a powercolor hd3450 512mb agp.I have a am2nf3-vsta motherboard, wich has a nForce3 250 chipset.I currently have a ati radeon 9250 128mb agp, with no official drivers for windows 7, but I downloaded a modded version here a few moths ago.It didnt have acelerated 3d because of the nforce3 chipset + ati card + dual core processor (Athlon 64 x2 3800 2ghz), but I didn't mind.Yesterday I talked with a man that solved this compatibility issue, but he has a nvidia card.But I tried the same method as him, that was install nvidia gart drivers v5.10 for win xp 32bits(Its the year 2004 version) (the actual version is 5.11, year 2005)Now my 9250 works like before in win xp (Although in the device manager still says that my card is pci xD), and it has accelerated 3d textures.My question is, will this fix work with my future hd3450? Is there any new solution for the nf3 compatibility problem? I will have to install win xp?I havent paid the card yet, should I buy it?
