Windows OS

Windows OS

 I am using MS Vista on my computer. I have noticed that when I log on, a number of programs are also running in the background using a lot of the computer’s memory. Could this be the reason why my computer is slow?

Recently I formatted my computer and installed Windows 7 but I couldn't find my driver disks which were included with the graphics card, motherboard, and the other parts. I have downloaded Speccy, and the following are the parts of my computer:

*The motherboard is P6X58D-E.

*My Optical Drive is an ATA device, brand is HP DVD Writer 1270d.

*I use GeForce GTX 460 as my graphics card.

My network card is integrated, and besides I can go online so I think this is fine. However, if I decide to update my motherboard, will the network card be up-to-date as well?

I have searched the web, have read a lot of forums and threads but still I can't find anything similar, or even something that close, with the problem I have encountered last night. I have downloaded a freeware called Video Pad which I thought was safe. While installing, I left my computer for a while. Upon my returned, it was breaking my hard drive. I got shocked as there were no error messages. I could only witness how the icons were disappearing one by one from the desktop.

My computer's OS is Windows 7. The problem now is that it does not boot into NORMAL mode. It only boots with the SAFE mode. Worse is whenever I restart the computer, the system only gives me two choices: either SAFE mode or SAFE with Networking Normal mode.

If I choose Safe mode, Windows does not react to any hard network connection. I do not know how to get Windows back to the NORMAL mode. Any suggestions and advices will be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

My Toshiba Satellite Laptop did not boot properly. Its OS is Windows 7 and it does not have a CD/DVD drive. The system message said, "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."

I already changed the settings (F2), checked the BIOS, used the safe mode, tried last configuration, even the F8 command did not work. I even attempted to use Toshiba recovery or F10, but only the black screen has appeared showing the messages, "Edit Windows boot options for: Windows 7", Partition: 2, and [/No EXECUTE=OPTION] where ENTER or ESC are the only options.

I set up a daily schedule for restoring creation point but when I tried to restore, no schedule has been created and just now, my microphone is not working anymore.

I was wondering what happened because I am sure the set schedule was working before.

I modified its settings so that it will work whether I am logged in or not. I did not find any restrictions that would hinder it from working.

The following are the actions done:

a) Time based triggers.

b) Browsed the folder directory C:program filesdeltacaddeltacad.exe

c) Plugged on a 240V power.

Recently I tried to move all of my User's folders from drive C: to drive D:. I moved my folders successfully, like My Documents, My Pictures, Contacts, My Videos, and other folders except for the Desktop folder. When I tried moving it an error message shows up, either "Folder Redirection Failed" or "Operation was cancelled by the user." It happens after I copied all the folders and data to the other drive. I tried to modify the folder location for this folder many times but everytime I move it, this error message shows up.

My computer is a Dell Inspiron with an OS of Windows 7 Home Basic. I renamed my Bluetooth device but when I plugged my smartphone in my computer, it can only detect the computer name, but not the bluetooth name when searching for any Bluetooth devices. What is weird is that my iPad 2 can detect and display the bluetooth name of my computer.

Before, my computer's name was the same as with its bluetooth name. However, when I changed the latter, my smartphone can only detect the computer's name.

Can someone please assist me?

Hi! I need some help with my computer. I used to run Windows XP on my computer but since I had to do some software testing for the company I am working for, I had to uninstall it so I could install Windows Server 2003.

Now, I need to reinstall Windows XP in my computer but the only way I could do that is for me to uninstall Windows Server 2003. The problem is I could not find the Uninstall option anywhere.

I tried formatting the C: drive but I got an error message saying “Access denied.” I also tried inserting the installer disc on the CD drive but during setup, it would come to a point where it doesn’t detect any supported products for upgrades.

I was wondering if you know what this means and if there’s something I could do to address my concern.
