I am trying to install the software where I can be able to read the minidump files after the BSOD. I found info from google and downloaded Windows Development Kits 7.1 for Windows 7 Pro x64. After I have complete the installation including debugging tools.Now when I run the windbg.exe program, I receive a "windbg.exe - bad image error" saying:"C:Program filesDebugging Tools for Windows (x64)dbghelp.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."I did uninstall then reinstall the software but receiving same errors.
The problem is that when ill start my windows coming up some debug error and i dont know how to fix this. It comes up with notepad file windows will start and popup out.
i am using win 7 64 bit, i am getting this error though i am the program as administrator account.
Answer:-
Have you attempted to right click the install file for the application and select "properties," chose the "compatibility" tab and check mark the box "Run this program as an administrator?"
Also, Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here:-
When doing a disk cleanup I noticed that the items suggested for deletion included Debug Dump Files and System Error Memory Dump Files. Both were exactly the same size (>350MB), which makes me wonder if one is a duplicate of the other. It's a fairly new computer which has only had one BSOD, and I knew about the memory dump and minidump files and where to find them. However, I can't find the Debug Dump File, nor do I know why it needs to be there as well as the memory dump. Also, if there is another BSOD, will the Debug Dump File be overwritten like the memory dump file is, or will I accumulate more of these rather large files?
i've just installed a new software called commview for wifi, it has a problem in slow capturing packets for a specific SSID & it stops at a certain amount of packets (10,000). I contacted their support & tried some solutins, at last they asked me to run it in debug mode & send them the log file, i'm not sure how to do it but i googled, when i try any command from the cmd it gives me that it isn't recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or patch file.
I am installing Windows 7 (Custom installation initiated from Windows XP) but I get the following error message when the installation is on the "Installing updates" step of the installation:
"Setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation file. Contact the vendor of your Windows installation disc or your system administrator for assistance."
Do you have any idea what the problem may be with the installation? Is there a way to see what file that may be corrupted?
I have tried to burn the DVD in low speed, but the error appears anyway. I have a MSI K8T Neo2-Fir mainboard and the Windows 7 upgrade advisor application says that my hardware is okay for upgrading.
I'm trying to debug a slow shutdown on my laptop with an SSD.I've done the msconfig to so non-microsoft services and other startups do not start at boot but this doesn't make a big difference.One thing is that although the shutdown takes 2 minutes, and the disk activity light is pinned solid in those 2 minutes, so something is going on, I can't seem to figure out how to get information about what is going on. The big problem is that 7 seconds after the shutdown command, the event log service shuts down. After that point there are no log entries.Is there a way to configure the event log service so that it doesn't stop right after the shutdown command?If there were log entries this would probably be quick debugging.Also while I am at it, here are my theories for what is going on (1) the disk is busy in those 2 minutes doing some sort of registry backup, or (2) also running through a journaling file system log to update disk blocks to a consistent state, or (3) or running the search indexer.What does Windows 7 do to the disks when it is shutting down?
I have for the last day had a notepad debug when starting my computer and getting to the desktop. I have no idea of how the debug has happened, or what it is or anything like that.

The last BSOD seen was at around 10:00 this morning (may have been earlier as the machine was found with a blue screen...), the problem I have at the moment is that the PC is not creating dump files - I have checked the settings (screen shot included) but it still won't create them.I have uploaded the output of the utilities as per the 'BSOD Assistance' posting?
I have tried to install Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and it gave an error message of: windows update encountered an unknown error code 80246007. I also get the error message after my laptop restarts if the installation shows it supposedly installed: installation not successful an uknown error has occured Error 0x8008095. I have also tried the 3 steps to try before installing Windows 7 SP1 and I still get the above errors.I would like to know the following:
1. When we update Windows where does it store the updates. Because I noticed that each time I update I loose disk space and I am wondering if I could delete these updates once I know they work.
2. I noticed a folder in the color of purple. It is: c:userusernameApp Datalocalmigwiz in this folder it contains the following files: debug.txt, diagerrr.xml, diagwrn.xml, miglog.xml, setupact.txt, setuper.txt what is the folder for.
3.I use windows disk cleanup and ccleaner. I noticed that when you install or uninstall programs it creates a restore point and shadow copies. I clean them out once a month. Is there anywhere else that shadow copies are created and can be deleted. How about does Windows 7 has a cache where we need to delete files. How many temp folders does windows 7 create. I would like to retain some disk space back. Do you know if Office 2010 where it stores it updates and can we delete them once we know they work.
I've just installed Windows 7 on top of my old XP machine. For the first hour I had no problems connecting to the internet. I downloaded antivirus protection (AVG) and Comodo firewall and windows 7 began updating itself. The comodo firewall download stalled and I had to manually reboot the computer. It seemed to start fine in normal mode and windows finished updating itself. Since then however (i.e. after the reboot) I have not been able to access the internet with an 'error 651" message displaying. I removed both AVD and Comodo with no change in the situation. I also did a system restore to before the windows updates, still no luck.
I access the internet via a broadband modem connected to a router. I don't have the full details of the models with me now but can repost in about five hours with the details if needed. I've searched online and note that many have said I should replace the raspppoe.sys file.
Since this is a brand new instal, should I just re-install Windows 7?
i've created another topic related to a BSOD . Anyways i've decided to format my OS so i did . But an error showed up , i'll tell you exactly what it said : Failed to create a new partition on the selected unused space.[Error:0x8004240f].That's what it said . I don't know what caused it but after i deleted that partition , i couldn't just make a new one it kept giving me this error
I have built new PC ( mb: asus M5A78L-mlx Plus,cpu: AMD 2 x 260,4GB Ram AM3,1TB HDD) Trying to install windows 7 Pro 64 bit and i get this error saying "Windows cannot install required files.Make sure all files required for installation are available ,and restart the installation." when the file are expanding.(0%).I have already changed the hdd, replaced dvd rom ,disable usb in bios,changed sata cable,removed the batt on MB and still no luck so far.
i have a hcl inffosystems cpu with 2gb RAM, a hitachi hds728080pla380 80gb hard drive, and it used to operate with win xp. while trying to custom install windows 7, the xp files were all deleted. However, the installation process stopped short and on restarting, the installation menu does not install into the hdd saying " the hardware may not support booting to this system." I've formatted the disk using diskpart on cmdprompt, partitioned it into an ntfs volume. it's still not accepted. the microsoft website says: "This problem occurs because Windows Vista cannot distinguish between ambiguous hard disks. In versions of Microsoft Windows Setup that are earlier than Windows Vista Setup, hard disks are marked with distinct values to distinguish them.owever,this method of distinguishing hard disks is no longer supported because of the potential for data corruption on hard disks. follow these steps: Create one or more partitions on all the hard disks that are not initialized. Restart the computer.Install Windows Vista."i only have two hdds, and i have tried everything i can think off in diskpart.
After all the steps been the first time, after it reboots it saysWindows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.2. Choose your language settings, and then click next.3. Click repair your computer.If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer anufacturer for assistance.
I'm using a IBM Thinkpad T42p laptop which was originally running Windows XP. My friend gave me bootable Windows 7 USB stick which he had used to successfully install Windows 7 on his laptop which is the same as mines (we're using school laptops) whenever I run the setup the laptop always abruptly restarts during the "Completing Installation" process and I get an error message saying "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed.

I have 8 ram slots with one gig sticks in each which gives me 8 gigs of ram, Which my computer uses completely. I recently purchased 8 more gigs on two sticks, but when I install them it gives me a memory mismatch error, but it stills starts up. When I go to my computer properties menu it says 14 gigs ram (4 usable). Like I said there are 8 slots, 4 with white push tabs, 4 with black push tabs. I tried multiple combinations with the ram. Sometimes the computer would beep and not Start, others it would start up but still give me the mismatch errors. Need to update BIOS, Which I did. I have to change my BIOS settings to "Enable dynamic memory remap", but the problem is that I can't get into my BIOS. For some reason windows 7 isn't giving me a BIOS option (DEL) on the POST screen. It only gives me the option of going into system settings F2 or Boot menu F12. I tried ESC F1-F12 DEL END...to no avail.

i have sony vaio laptop with windows 7 home edition now i want to install windows 7 pro in my laptop.i have the ISO of win pro, because my CD drive not working i m trying to install from the USB .. windows setup started but it shows error when i click "Install Now""No device drivers were found.

I recently bought a refurbished Hp m6-1035dx, with OEM windows home premium 64bit.Additionally I also purchased a Samsung 830 SSD and and Optical Bay Caddy. My plan is to install the SSD in the Main Drive Bay and tranfer the current stock hitachi HDD into the Optic Bay. I was considering cloning my OS to the SSD, but decided to go for a fresh install of Windows 7 instead, considering my current OS files take up 40gb (which seems like a lot to me). So considering I have an OEM Windows 7 I opted to try the USB installation, using the guide provided on this forum. Everything was going well until I received the Device Driver error message "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing...etc" which is followed by the option to browse for the device driver. I have read numerous forums on this issue and none of the solutions have worked for me. For example I have tried switching the USB ports, I have actually tried all my USB ports, with no success. Some forums suggest I load the SATA/RAID drivers into my USB and then select those through the browse option. I have no tried this yet, as I have thus far been unsuccessful in locating these drivers. My next move was to burn the ISO onto a disc instead.
I have a Samsung series 9 (NP9004XC) and I am upgrading the 128gb SSD that came with the computer to a Crucial M4 256GB mSATA. I am doing a clean install from a bootable USB that I created from the recovery disc that was included with the computer.I can load up setup but once I get to the part where I choose what disk I want to install it to I get an error. There is only one disk listed (Disk 0, Partition 1) and when I try to select that disk to install Windows to I get the error:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
i have a MSI A6000 Laptop. Ive been trying to fix this problem for 2 day with 12 hours time and read countless forums but still haven't been able to solve it.
I recently encountered windows 7x64 installation error, where i could not select disk partition to install. ( i formatted and deleted all of the partitions for a clean install). But somehow after running the memory diagnosis i was able to go through the installation. But during the installation on the second time it restarts, my computer gets a black screen when starting.
i cannot access the post screen menu or the recovery option( it is however possible to access the same thing via booting through the USB and selecting the recovery option instead of installing). Also the memory diagnosis tool does not work any more giving an error. The bios options are as follows:
MAIN : Serial ATA [Hard Disk] Serial ATA [ATAPI CDROM] Advanced: PCI Latency timer [64] Legacy USB support [enabled] AHCI Mode [endabled]
A while ago i dual booted windows 7 onto my vista running laptop and it works perfectly. It is a huge improvement on vista, it is faster, better designed and its new features are very useful. Because of this success I know am trying to dual boot it onto my xp running desktop. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to like it.
I have used the same technique that i did on my laptop to install it. I have burnt the iso file onto a disk and run that disk while the computer is running. Checked for online updates and done a clean install. The installation works fine and quite quickly until it comes to the first restart. It restarts and I select "windows setup" on the bios screen as apposed to "an earlier version of windows" which is my xp partition.
It then changes to the starting windows screen that happens just like on my laptop, except the windows logo never materializes and it stays as a black screen with the words "starting windows" on it. i have left the computer on overnight and no change. I have tried reinstalling several times with no luck, both using the same method as before and booting from the disk at startup. Although when I boot from the disk it just skips straight to the same frozen windows startup screen.
I have downloaded the windows 7 adviser software but the program cant seem to make its mind up. Sometimes it announces that my graphics card cant run windows 7 aero and sometimes its fine.

So, ok I have Windows 7 Ultimate installation dvd and i tried to install it,everything goes well untill on the second line of the very beginning of windows installation 98% I get this message Error Code: 0x80070570.
