"Windows Cannot Find C:\WINDOWS \System32\msconfig. Make Sure You Typed The Name Correctly, And Then Try Again"
May 11, 2011
I started my laptop today and it showed a different welcome screen ,and the touchpad scroll also stopped working.When I tried to access msconfig to know aboput startup services it showed this message ""Windows cannot find C:\WINDOWS \System32\msconfig. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again"" .The same message appeared when opening regedit and other files on C:.
Ever since my touchpad also doesnt work in between.I mean sometimes it works and sometimes doesnt.
I recently tried using my computer and it keeps giving me the error "windows cannot find (filepath) make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" and apparently im not administrator anymore and i cant open anything but google chrome help!
When I click on the Windows 7 start button and type in a file name into the search box, very often files I know that exist on my hard drive are not listed in the indexI went into Indexing Options where it shows about 4000 files index (seems low), Local Disc (C) is listed under indexed locations.Is there any way to fix this problem so that ALL of my files on my hard drive are indexed, so I can quickly find them via the Windows 7 Start menu search box?
I just got a new computer with Windows 7 home premium. After it opens up,and is idle about 3 min. it go to sleep. Where would I find the setting to make the time longer before it go to sleep.
Sometimes when I lag and Im typing my words Im typing will type out twice and overlap in sentences. In the screenshot I have included you can see this. I tried typing "I know theres ppl who work for little pay", and it overlapped. This issue used to happen on my old computer which was Windows XP but it only had 1 gb of RAM I know have 2gb and I thought I wouldnt be dealing with lag issues as often.
I am using Internet Explorer 7 and am coming across a highly annoying issue.. I open up two separate internet windows bc I use one for work-related sites and one for personal sites. Whenever I type the letter "c", the screen will jump from where I currently am to another window and minimize both internet explorer windows (but not completely.. just makes them a step down from maximized).
I I just lost an important function. When I store important websites I'm working on, I just type the complete URL on the Wordpad page I'm working on. For, instance,[URL]Then when I click on the URL it will open up the website. Somehow, I just lost that capability. How do I get it back.
#1. I changed the windows password for a user. After that, I am not able to login if I type the password in key board. If I type same password using On-screen keyboard option of Ease of access, I am able to login.
I thought it could be issue with key board. After login, I checked all keys are working fine.
#2.Due to issue #1, I created one more user and added it to administrator group. I am able to login to windows with this new user with password typed in keyboard. But after login when i type some characters, it displays other characters. For e.g., when I type '', it shows '#'
I have HP laptop with windows 7 ultimate. Sometimes my keyboard is messed up (i.e. typing letters shows numbers) and after restart or log off and log in again, the keyboard goes back to normal. The problem has repeated several times and I don't know the reason
I am typing away whether it be an email forum reply or in note book and not noticed I've had caps on, I've done this a few times. Is there an easy way to highlight text and swap between upper and lower case?
It loads fine but I wonder why doesn't the come up when it's booting up. It just stays there black. Is it because I have reinstalled my operating system way too many times? Because it's been like this since whenever I reinstalled it. Not a big deal but I'm just curious as of why. My windows is activated, btw.
Windows randomly started having problems returning from hibernation and I cannot figure out why. Any time it returns from hibernation the screen is black but it has a backlight to it so I can tell it's on and I can hear the discs spinning so I know it's working. I have to hard boot it to get it back. I tried increasing the paging file size in virtual memory. I have 8GB of ram and I increased my paging file all the way to 16GB just to be safe. Reinstalled video card drivers.
why I cannot open ports correctly in Windows 7, but in XP I had no issues. If someone has the time..please contact me. I have tried reading, watching videos...
I was playing around with a program called PartitionMagic, because I wanted to convert my external harddrive from NTFS to FAT32, but it didn't work, so I tried another program. Partition Manager. As soon as the installation started, the computer had a BSoD, and has started having this every time I try to boot the Computer.At first I thought this was only caused by the harddrive, but I put it to a test, by removing the harddrive, and adding my laptops harddrive instead. Sadly the same thing happens. It boots into the Windows logo, and then a BSoD appears, restarting my PC yet again.I've tried launching the Startup Repair, but it results in failure. The description tells me that the "Boot Configuration is corrupt", so I tried searching for a fix on this.
That led me to trying bootsect.exe and bootrec.exe on the command prompt, through both the advanced startup repair thing, and through the Windows 7 Installation DVD.Even though all the commands I've ran say they were executed successfully, it still gives me a BSoD on startup.As a last resort, I tried to format my harddrive through the Windows 7 DVD. This is where I noticed that it recognizes my harddrive, but tells me there is only 100 or so mb on it.Also if I try to do a system restore, it gives me "an unexpected error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001F)
Every time I put my computer to sleep or hibernate and wake it up, the computer resumes to a screen stating "Windows failed to shut down correctly" A recent hardware or software change might be the cause and I'm asked to choose how to restart.Quite similar to the screen I would get after a crash.
I have a series of applications that depend on an INI file being in the Windows directory. Also, many different users are allowed to log on and change the INI file. But Windows 7 places changed INI files in USER directories for the logged-on users. So my Apps never get to see the changes! How do I get Windows 7 to place my INI file in Windows directory where I need it?
I set my Windows 7 Pro computer to a static IP. Reboot and the computer can't get to the network, forget the internet. Give it a DHCP IP, then immediately give it the static it had and it works fine. does anyone know a script I can have run at startup that sets the NIC to DHCP, then back to the static I want?

I have windows xp and can't expell some of my installed programs as i get the message the windows installer is not installed correctly. I looked at regcleaner.com, and await an answer to be sure that if i buy their program it wiinstall windows installer service. Am i walking the plank on this? I just want a simple fix to get this over with. I tried microsoft, but it wasn't applicable, as they asked for some things that did not show up in the window and or?

I recently upgraded my machine to an AMD Sempron II X3 720 Black Edition. I've enabled virtualization in the bios. I've gone and downloaded the following two files from Microsoft's Virtual PC web page:
Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.msu - the Virtual PC installation WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe - the virtual PC XP Mode file
I've installed both files but nowhere in my menu do I have a Windows Virtual PC folder to launch into Windows XP mode.
When I go to the C:Program FilesWindows XP Mode directory, all I see is this:
A folder called Tutorial KEY.TXT VXPEULA.txt Windows XP Mode base.vhd
But nowhere do I have an icon in my start menu Virtual Windows XP shortcut.
When I open the task manager, the screen appears, but when I click on the "End Task" button nothing happens. The rest of the functions (processes,Services etc) are working ok. I have downloaded a Task Manager Fix program and ran it, but am still not able to end tasks.
I always seem to get that dreaded BSOD warning a lot of times after I hibernate. The night before I'll set my computer into hibernation. I'll wake up the next morning, press the power button on the computer, and receive the "windows did not shut down correctly" black screen error. The computer always starts up fine, but then I get the message:

just started cropping up about 2 days ago. For some reason, when I use my laptop on battery, the screen will go completely dark after about a minute of use. This most recently happened this morning. The first time this happened, I just held down my power button, and then turned the laptop on after a minute's wait. On that occasion, the laptop started up again, and it seemed to be waking up from hibernate or something.
But this morning, when I held down the power button and tried to turn it on again, it wouldn't. I plugged in my charger, and then the laptop was able to resume Windows, but the weirdest thing is, it said my battery was at 0%. The reason that seems odd to me is because it was fully charged last night. Right before the random screen turnoff, I checked my battery status, and it said 94%. So why did it go down to 0% after a minute and a half of use?
Now that my laptop is on, and connected to the charger, it is fully charged after about 10 minutes. Is it Windows 7? Or is it my laptop? The laptop will be 3 years old this November. Working on battery hasn't been a problem except for these past few days, and I haven't installed any new programs, or altered any settings that I'm aware of.
Windows doesn't display some shortcuts correctlyFor some applications I see: But in properties of the file i can see it's icon.How to fix this?p.s. I tried to delete IconCache.db and reboot,
I have a PC with a Gigabyte mother board and an i3 processor with 8gig ram and 2 tb hard drive. When I got the computer, it was running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Once I checked the computer, and found it was 64 bit compatible, I installed the 64 bit version. I did this as a new install. I have had nothing but problems since. I have an intelli mouse which clicks away when I try to go back or forward on a web page. If I try to check a box, it checks and then automaticaly unchecks. I have to keep clicking on it until the check stays. Some web pages won't even work, ie Bank of America Website. I can go to anything I want to except My Portfolio. It causes IE9 to shut down. When I try to open programs, it opens multiple times. I have formatted and re-installed again, but still have the same problems.
i have window 7 and install printer hp laserjet p1007 on same pc which is on lan network. The said printer was working properly till date but from today it does not print any document.
