Windows 7 Starting Upon Uninstallation Of 3rd Party Software
Dec 16, 2011
I tried uninstalling the bloomberg desktop software from my Windows 7 professional last night and that's when my nightmare began:First off, the uninstallation wasn't smooth. After I uninstalled the main program, there were still patches of auxiliary programs left and I had to un-installed them one by one. Win 7 did complain that some of the components were not there or program not found but eventually they were all removed from the windows program list.Unfortunately when I tried to reboot, my PC would go into this debug mode whereas the system can't 'fix' the problem automatically. I tried looking into the log and noticed the following:
Number of root causes = 1 Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem Then a bunch of checks which yielded error code 0x00 which seemed normal.Then I dig deeper and noticed the following:
Problem event name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem signature: 6.1.7600.16385
Worst part is that I can't even recover using the system recovery as I'm missing some files from the bloomberg file holder.

I have been trying to install Ubuntu in my lappie..unfortunately the process got aborted during the boot loader installation.Now am trying to un install it completely and trying to install windows 7 on my PC.But i get error when windows 7 installation kit is trying to "Expand windows files."
Tools in hand :
Ubuntu live CD
windows 7 boot CD
I have no OS currently in my PC
Previously installed one was windows 7 which has been completely formatted during my ubuntu installation.
P.S : I dont want the data in other logical disks to be deleted.
Guess there is some issue with bootmgr.
Error says bootmgr missing.

Using Windows 7, Error code appeared during trial version avg anti-virus uninstall and stated that operation was unsuccessful. Tried repeatedly but computer will not even start the uninstall process. While trying to download new 2011 free avg, the application exe file appears to save ok but will not show up on desktop or anyother location for me to access. Tried other software applications from cnet and got same results. Also restore operation did not work.

After recently installing 7 Starter N on my 6 year old laptop I soon found out how limited the OS is, one thing that specifically bugs me is the (almost) inability to change the wallpaper. I found a few articles online showing some registry editing to place wallpapers, but many users ran into difficulties changing the wallpaper a second time. I also realize there are such programs to do this task such as Oceanis and ThemeIt? Using basically the same use of the registry editor as many guides showed plus the use of some further permission and ownership changing to the wallpaper folder within the Windows directory to override TrustedInstaller to be able to swap out files as I please, I came across a very simple way to change the wallpaper by replacing the "img0.jpg" with a picture of the users choice, then log out/in to view the change, as detailed below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1: Changing user permissions.
1. Navigate to C:WindowsWebWallpaper, Right click the "Windows" folder and select "properties".
2. Click the "Security" tab and highlight "Administrators (User-PCAdministrators)" and click on the
"Owner" tab. Click the "Edit..." button, then highlight "Administrators (User-PCAdministrators)" and check off the box for "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects. Click the "OK" button, then again in the dialouge box that pops up next.
3. Click on the "Permissions" tab in the "Advanced Security settings" window and make sure both "Administrators (User-PCAdministrators)" and "Users (User-PCUsers)" have a permission setting of full control. If they do not, click the "Change permissions" button and edit both to have full control. Click the "OK" button on each of the windows to back out and save your changes.
PART 2: Editing the registry.
1. Open the start menu and type "regedit" into the search bar and hit enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop. Find the entry titled "Wallpaper" and double click it to open. Change the value to C:WindowsWebWallpaperWindowsimg0.jpg and hit "OK".
2. Right click the "Desktop" key and click on "Permissions...". Click the "Add" button and type "Everyone" and click "OK". Click the "Advanced" button and make sure the "Everyone" group is highlighted. Click "Edit..." and check off "Read Control" and hit "OK" on that window, then again on the "Advanced security settings" window. In the next window highlight "Everyone" and check off the "Allow" option for "Read". Hit "OK".
3. Now you should be able to place any image with a .jpg extension named "img0" into the "C:WindowsWebWallpaperWindows" directory, and once you log off and back in your wallpaper should be changed!

I want to install windows 8 in my windows 7 pc, but I want to backup the windows 7 OS to an external HDD in case I don't like Windows 8 and want to reinstall the Windows 7 OS. I've done a file backup with Norton 360. But, Windows 7 won't let me do an OS backup. I think Norton 360 took over the backup function, and it seems it can't back the OS up. How can I backup the W7 OS? A third party backup for the OS?

I recently purchased a Seagate external drive. I created a backup of windows to the disk using the Memeo software provided by Seagate. I tried to restore a file and I keep getting error message "The files cannot be restored at this time / try again later". I thought maybe it was still backing up but it states the backup is complete. I went to the seagate/ memeo support site and its basically useless. Of course they dont have that error message referenced.
Should I delete this Memeo software completely and let windows run the back up instead? I'm really confused now. I've been reading a lot of people have problems creating a backups with windows7 too?

I while ago I was customizing my PC interface in the Windows folder of my OS. I use a bunch of third party programs that access Windows Explorer for browsing, and recently I've not been able to browse and find files because I think I might have deleted an important system file. I get an error message come up and the program usually crashes, too.

I'm installing Win7 64 on a single system drive but I plan to add a 3rd party RAID controller and drives for data storage. Do I need to hook up the card and storage drives and install the drivers on the initial install of Windows or can I simply install the OS on the main system drive and add the RAID at a later point?

#1 How do I get custom 3rd party themes to work? I have already patched the theme dll files with UXtheme but when I go to enable a new third party theme nothing happens.#2 Nearly every single time I try to copy files from my HDD to a USB Flash Drive the file transfer exits midway and I have to restart it again and again till it finishes, mostly with a large group of files 2gb+. My USB Flash drives are not broken they are fine I tested them.#3 When I change my cursor to a custom one it resets to the default cursor on reboot.#4 When I installed Windows7 1 month ago I could not reach other computers on my LAN by IP or SharesShared Folders, and as of now they can nolonger reach me at all.#5 How do I Fully disable Readyboost? I thought I already did disabled it. When I insert a USB Flash Drive I see a file appear on it with the name "Readyboost" and some extension I can't remember.

I am using a new dell computer with windows 7 64bit. I have had it about 10 days. Everything is running very smoothly except for trying install a firewall. The 2nd day I had it I tried installing a 3rd party firewall and the installation went fine and told me to restart the machine. When I did it started shutting down windows and then starting it back up....then all of a sudden a BSOD flashed and I was taken to the screen with options to either start in safe mode or start normally.
I tried to start normally but the same thing happened so I booted in safe mode and did a system restore and then they computer booted up normally. I thought this was a fluke so I tried a different firewall and the same thing happened. I have since tried 3 different firewalls and this happens every time.
The first part of the BSOD when it occurs says this DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
stop:0x000000D1
I have tried to zip up the minidump folder but even though it is set to save minidump files the folder remains empty and won't let me zip.
From what I have been reading I think I am having some kind of conflict with the 3rd party kernel drivers these firewalls are trying to install. Why I am having this problem.....I do not know....nor do I know how to fix it. Of course I could be totally wrong.
I have successfully been using windows 7 firewall control plus, which does not install any 3rd party kernel drivers, without any problems. So, I guess I will stick with that unless I can figure out why I am having conflicts with the 3rd party kernel drivers and how to reso.

I set about creating a new simple volume on a brand new laptop today. You know - they come with one giant C: drive. We want a nice, manageable C: drive for imaging, about 75 - 80GB, but 100 or 125 would do.Ran up against the "fixed files" limit on shrinking the volume - could only claim 225GB out of 488GB.I'm wondering- could I (temporarily) turn off the page file, delete all restore points and turn off monitoring, and check for and delete any hibernation files - defrag - and gain some significant ground? Or is a third party partitioning program the only option, as Brink has stated in his tutorials?

I have a desktop and have 2 hard drives 1 is running Windows 7 and 1 is running Windows Vista. I would like to completely erase the hard drive so there is no operating system on it (the Vista drive). I would still like to store files on it. I have looked out there on google but I would not like to use third-party software.

Usually we create more than one partitions of HDD. Here, we have two opinions; some people say one shouldn't install software in the operating system's drive (mostly C) and the other people oppose this concept.These are my personal feelings that one shouldn't install software in OS' drive because it will give the 'typical HDD', somehow, a tough task. We will have to put more space for 'C' which will probably increase the seek time and maybe it will increase fragmentation on sectors.So which is the best option to choose and what is the true concept behind selecting the directories?

I have found tutorials (here and elsewhere) for custom Windows (7/XP/Vista...) install disks, should you wish to tailor your Windows install to your needs. However, I have not found anything relating to my current question.While I will create one of these Windows disks, what I am wondering right now is: Is it possible to do the same thing with multiple programs from different vendors?I would like to eventually create a Windows install disk that has been trimmed of all the excesses I do not need, adding drivers, SP1 and some critical updates instead. If there is enough room on the install disk, I would like to add some third-party programs to be installed as well. It may turn out that I would need a Windows disk and an applications/programs disk also (as the programs themselves would be rather numerous and/or bulky).I know it is possible, since the big OEMs do this, but would it be cost-efficient (read: free), or even possible, for an end user to do

Is MS Essential enough to be secure or do you need a 3th party software like Eset or Kaspersky? I know that MS Essential does only once a day update but i wonder if the pay software is really that much better.For some years i used Linux and software wasn't necessary. On Windows on the other hand you do need protection.

I've tried both Comodo and ZA firewalls. I prefer either over Windows 7 built-in firewall. The problem I have is after installing either of these I have control issues with Network Discovery and File Sharing. More exactly, even though the system shows these two items are off and/or disabled (manually), Start> Computer> Network will start showing available computers to connect to, whereas, Windows 7 firewall will inform me that both items are turned off. I use a public WiFi so this is obviously not a good thing. How to deal with this 3rd party firewall/File Sharing issue? Is the fact that the 3rd party firewalls are blocking any connection attempts a sign that everything is okay? Or should I just stay with Windows 7 firewall?

Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't work with Outlook 2010 if installed as 64 bit. Microsoft says to "fix" this by uninstalling Office 2010 and installing the 32 bit version!My question is are there any 3rd-party sync programs that will work with Windows 7 64 bit and Microsoft Office Outlook 64 bit and Windows Mobile 6.5 devices? I don't need to sync email but I do need to sync calendar, contacts, and tasks. And yes, I am aware that the iphone will sync with it! Silly Microsoft. I have 1.5 years left on my mobile contract with my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone?

I recently installed poweriso and magicdisc on my computer then I rebooted but windows started to hang at shutdown so I just forced a shutdown, now windows is hanging up upon restart and the same happens for safe mode. I'm thinking the problem might be magicdisc cause it said drivers were not found and safe mode was hanging around the loading drivers part or that I made a virtual drive.
Also I'm attempting to do a system repair via windows disc
Edit: Windows repair just finished and the problem signature was
Problem event name: startuprepairoffline
Problem signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 03: unknown

I have a laptop and I cannot get it to start. When I go into start-up mode (Esc key at start-up) I have two options:
Start-up Repair (Recommend)
Normal Start-up
When I do Normal Start-up, it lockes up on the Windows Screen. When I do Start-up Repair it locks up on a black screen.I don't have the back-up discs that were created for this specific computer at the moment (they are at another location at the moment). However I do have Windows 7 upgrade discs here from another computer.

It started with me interrupting a startup forcefully (which I now regret badly), then "i restarted it, but it gave me the information;"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause". I was given the option to either 'Launch startup repair' or 'Start windows normally'...If I select 'Launch startup repair', it leads me to a blank screen with a cursor then stays there until forever, if i select 'Start windows normally', it leads me to the Microsoft logo/'Starting windows' and just stays there for a while until it restarts." However, after the microsoft logo, I can see the screen changing for a split second, I can't see what it shows clearly a blue screen?
