Instead of re-formatting and losing tons of items I haven't backed up I recently performed a system recovery (The F10 command that doesn't destroy your data). Now I have a clean windows setup and can see that the C drive is still more than half full but I have no clue how to get to my data.
View 14 RepliesI know theres heaps of partition and format tools out there to help you do certain things, but what i was wondering is instead of formatting the old fashioned way, and losing everything, is there a way i can format and not lose anything, so i dont have to do a million re installs? my hard drive is partitioned NTFS. and i have my C: where all my windows files are stored seperate to all my other drives.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with various programs that I've had work on other computers fine. The UI gets crowded to the point where I cannot click on what I need to, or type what I need to, and in some cases I have to use another program entirely. This has happened to over 10 programs that I recall, and the 'severity' of the bugginess runs from this: which isn't bad, mainly cut off unclickable words and boxes, to this. which is completely and literally unusable (I also need to get this particular one working soon, so if there's a quick fix it would be really appreciated). I see a lot more of the second type, I can provide more examples if asked.I enclosed the dxdiag in hopes that that might help. The one and only thing I might see that would cause this is I have a custom theme, but I've disabled it with no results.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems with the computer starting up correctly in the 'regular' windows screen.The latest problem I had was that the computer wasn't starting correctly. It gave me a screen that said something about starting in the 'safe mode'. To my recollection, the words 'last known windows configuration' (something to that effect) was high lighted and it was counting down. It look like it wanted to start up windows, but kept going back to the screen with me wanting to choose a method of startup. After a couple of tries, Windows finally started up.Lately I been getting an dialogue box that says: "The system has recovered from a serious
error."
I get this: System is recovered from a serious fault.I just got it after the computer suddenly rebooted. This is the sign(?) of the fault: I also put some screens of the fault with this.they are in Dutch, but maybe you can recognise it.

View 11 Replies View RelatedEarlier this evening my brother wanted to transfer a song to his MP3 player, so I got it all setup for him and ran off for a minute. When I came back, he said the computer had just restarted itself while he was trying to transfer the song. I came back to see the computer had just finished running through the Scandisk/ErrorCheck and was starting up again. When I signed back into my desktop, I recieved a message stating the computer had recovered from a serious error. I clicked for more details and spread the windows out so I was able to take a screenshot of all 3 messages about the error. I attached the picture to this post.We went ahead and got the song transfered just fine afterwards, but when I went to connect to the internet, it wouldn't dial up and said the modem was not there. I went into the Modem settings and it said the "Lucent Win Modem" was not there. This is the one that was setup by default with Windows XP. My Zoom modem will not work for some reason (which is what is currently installed right now). I did manage to fix the problem by shutting things down, removing the modem, putting it back into the PCI slot and starting things up again. In the Modem settings, it showed that the Lucent Win Modem was there and running correctly. I was able to connect fine afterwards. Could whatever the "serious error" was have caused this problem? Is there a way I can reinstall the Lucent Win Modem again should this happen again and removing the card does not work next time? Like I said, my modem is a Zoom modem but I cannot get it going, but for some reason the computer sees that Lucent modem and it uses my Zoom modem to connect just fine.
Can anybody tell me what this error was for, and any ideas as to why the system decided to restart? It just took me a year before I was able to repair my system because it automatically restarted and I'd really rather it didn't start it up again since a lot of money had to be put into fixing this computer.Also, the 2 files listed in the bottom window of that screenshot are not located on my hard drive. I went to the exact location listed, but that last subfolder is not listed in the Temp directory anywhere. I have all hidden files set to be shown already. I also ran a search on the entire drive and there are no such files located on the drive.
Lately i've been having some problems with my pc. Some of the programs that i use seem to have an error with it. For example, when i'm using opera a box pops up saying an error has occured with opera and needs to shut down the program (asking me whether to send an error report or not).This is not the only program that does this. Even Media player, bittorrent, winamp, windows messenger, actually its most programs.Sometimes i get an error with 'DrWatson Postmortem Debugger' which causes my pc to lock up.A few times i got a blue screen error. Each time that happens the pc restarts itself and then i get another message saying 'system has recovered from a serious error', again asking me to send an error report or not.

When I log back in I get this dialog box that tells me the subject title and offers to send to the error report to Microsoft. I'm not the only one who has experienced that. So, what do you think is the problem and how can I stop the computer from arbitrarily restarting itself?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a folder containing pdf's, word and excel documents and mp3�s (about 13 GB in size ). When I opened my mother's laptop, I discovered that someone accidentally dragged my folder to another folder next to it (my whole famiy uses that laptop) I opened it and all of my files were deleted! So, I searched for ways to recover deleted files and installed a software to recover it on drive C: (my folder is in drive D: ) . The program was able to locate my files but I cannot recover it because the program is not free so I downloaded other free programs. The other drive's space is not enough to accommodate the deleted files so ( not knowing the consequences of my actions ) I transferred some files of C: to D: (about 1.5 GB ). However, the free program was not able to find my files so I searched again. I tried System Restore and I was able to recover it. But when I tried opening the files, it says that "There was an error opening this document. Access is denied" for pdf,s, "Windows Media Player cannot access the file.

Since that reboot, the following things have happened: Got warning about failure of write back cache Blue screen about kernel that MS reported was due to bad HD.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having a run of bad luck it seems lately. First, I was having tons of problems with my soundcard audio, CD burning, DVD burning, and a hard drive not being recognized. A whole thread describing that is here.This slowdown stuff started yesterday. I tried to launch an application, and Windows started to lock up. I went in to the task manager to end the process, and when I did that, the system became extremely unstable. The audio I was playing would halt and studder every 2 seconds, the mouse would freeze at the same time as the studdering, etc. I checked the CPU usage in task manager, which by the way took a long time to come up because of the extreme slowness.The CPU was not showing any high usage at all. Very low actually. After a few minutes of this, it was time to press the reset button, because it was not getting any better, and I couldn't click "Start" or reboot the machine properly from task manager.
After I pressed the reset button, Windows started booting very slowly. It would hang at the splash screen for over 10 minutes. Then the screen would just go blank. Then, I tried to start it in safe mode. Last night when doing that, it would hang at System32Mup.sys for about 10 minutes, then it would start Safe Mode and it would be fairly fast, even when doing a virus/spyware scan. (No lockups). I was describing these problems to someone I knew on IRC, and he said to check the +5V power. I quit out of Safe Mode, and went to go look for that in my BIOS. There, it did not show a +5V, only a 3 and 12 if I remember correctly. So, I booted back into Windows normally, which took the 10 minutes again, and downloaded SpeedFan. Sure enough, the +5V was showing at only an average of between 2.5 and 3.5V. I plan to order a new power supply hopefully today, but here is why I'm posting here. Minus the 10 minute hang at Mup.sys last night when trying Safe Mode, it was performing normally in Safe Mode, even while doing virus and spyware scans.
I formatted my system with Windows 2000 professional.
I installed SP4 after that.and anti virus software
Then i tried to update my system..there were around 50 odd updates.
but during the updation...my system reboot automatically.
there are tons of ads in the system and then computer becomes extremely slow
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using XP home and just added my old ntfs disk to my system. I can't access certain files because of a, "access denied", error message. The disk has tons of bad sectors on it and I can't take it with me into safe mode so I can take ownership of it with the admin account. Any suggestions on how to get to my ntfs files without going into safe mode? In normal mode, I don't have an administrator account, just my account with my name which has administrator rights. I know the admin account is still there, but I can't get into safe mode with the ntfs disk.

a) Installed Sun Solaris Express x86 Developer Edition with a 7.5 GB partition.
b) There is Windows XP SP2 on the first 20 GB partition.
I wanted to toggle boot flag by using DOS based fdisk after the Solaris installation. That's where me screwed up I ran a bootable Russian language DOS tools. Instead of toggling the boot flag (option 2 in the fdisk), me accidentally (while taking an overseas call) selected (option 1) the FAT formatting the existing NTFS partition (fdisk ran for 1%, then me immediately stopped and rebooted. But, already damage done My NTFS got screwed up by me.....
Seems like every time I open some application it puts a link on the start menu, I realize I can delete this by right clicking it and choosing "remove this item from the list". How do I prevent it from being put there in the first place?
