When I receive a new e-mail in any folder (inbox, spam) I don't get the new e-mail envelope icon in the task bar and I don't know how to get it back. I used to get it before and now nothing. I already went to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons and set it to show icons...

Tepid or tblount, I am running ESET 4.0. It seems to be working ok. I am having a small problem I hope you can help me with. As I stated above I re-formatted/erased my cloned internal drive and after I used Drive Cleanser from Acronis to make sure everything is was completely erased. After...

Thanks Tepid you made things much clearer for me now. I am going to erase the cloned drive and just use it as a true backup. I already created myself a recovery disk so I should be good to go. Thanks for your advice... :cool:

tblount, I am currently trying out the True Image back up program based on your recommendation. I have a question about the cloning option. I already cloned my C drive to another internal hard drive and everything went good... my question is does the software automatically back up the cloned...

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a working USB controller card (PCI-E) that will work for Win 7 64 bit. I want to add more USB ports without having to use an external hub. I have seen quite a few on the web but I do not know which ones are good or work with Win 7. Anybody have any good...

tblount, you mentioned about a back up program that is free on the WD website. Which one would that be? I am using 2 WD hard drives in my computer and I would like to know what back up program your referring to. Maybe I could try this one out. I am also going to look into the Acronis True...

tblount, Yes I have backed up the registry and everything else seems to be working fine. It's only when I try and run Windows Back Up. It will work if the wbengine folders are present but as soon as I run the back up once and if it succeeds I then go and look to see if the wbengine folders are...

Back Up problems still exist I am still having problems with my Windows Back. Rak gave me a solution last week and my back up worked the first time but I keep losing the "wbengine" folder from the registry folders (ControlSet001, CrontrolSet002 and CurrentControlSet) after every time I start or...

Hi Rak, I just checked to see if my webengine.reg are still in the registry and all of them are gone. WTF...How did that happen? I did not delete them. Something must be deleting them. I am going to do what you recommended the first time and see if that works it probably will but why did they...

Windows back up quits after about 40%... Hi Rak, I need your help again with the windows back up feature. As you know the fix you gave me before worked and I was able to do a back up using the Win 7 interface. Now I am just trying to initiate another back up and now I am getting this...

It Works...YEAH!!! You be the man Rak!!! I did exactly as you suggested and now my back up feature is working perfectly! In fact it's running as I type this. :) Thanks for all your help and I hope I can return the favor one day... This forum is awesome!!!

Thanks Tepid and I did a complete back up the registry. Can I also (if things got messed up) just do a restore to a previous point. Isn't that the same thing as restoring the registry.

Thanks Jessica for the tip. I will check that thread out. Rak, Thanks for the file and I am going to try your step by step instructions again... wish me luck :) There's no chance of me screwing things up with the registry is there?

Hi Rak, Thanks for the suggestion and I did as exactly as you stated and I was not able to get the registry updated. I took your file you sent me and saved 3 of them with each one with a different name ControlSet001, ControlSet002 and CurrentControlSet. The all ended in reg and each time I...

thats why I am single... :)
