access issues

Hi, My Dell laptop has been misbehaving for a while so I decided the only solution was to do a fresh install. Normally I would nuke it, download the iso from Microsoft and re-install. It seems however that MS have pulled the plug on the downloads for OEM windows 7, but I do still have my...

All my files have been retrieved including the Lotus Notes archives etc....except for my contacts (address book) which are a file called names.nsf.

Hi Okay so if my heading isn't clear, what my DVD drive is doing is it's managing to read the disk but is really noisy and slow. It sounds like the laser is moving back and forth constantly (as if two or more programs were trying to access different parts of the disk at the same time but it...

A shortcut is mapped to an FTP server, and shows up in W7 File Explorer. It works on occasion, but more often throws a paths/permissions error. When that occurs the site isn't available via a browser either. Have seen it do the same in W8.1 as well, but rarely. The SC has been deleted and...

Recently whenever I try to uninstall/install anything on my computer it says "The windows installer service could not be accessed this can occur if the windows installer is not correctly installed".

I have a fibre-based internet connexion and enjoy fast download speeds. Once internet pages have been accessed, pages download virtually instantly. The problem comes with gaining access to pages. If sites have not been used for a long time or ever before, browsers (generally Firefox)...

Hi I'm going to take these issues on one at a time as I come to them. The first is that I found that none of my programs open from the all apps list unless I right click on them and select "Open as Administrator"? I only have one account on my computer, it's my Microsoft account and it's set...

Just to be clear, it's not one of those usual things. I got Win 7 Home Premium. CMD, Task Manager, all exe files and GPEdit works fine. Everything works fine actually - exept regedit just does not respond. I have Nod32 and my PC is virus / malware free. All I want is just access to registry...

I know this should probably go in the networking subforum but it's kinda deserted and I need an answer fast. I have a 2012 R2 server (alone) and a Win 7 station. My login script is very simple, it's only a few net use commands (net use :G /delete - net use :G \\Server\Folder). But right now...

Alrighty, I have an 8.1 that refuses to see the XP connected to the same workgroup. The XP can see the 8.1 but requires a username and psw, though I have no idea what those could be. There is also a windows 7 involved but it's having no issues seeing anything. The 8.1 is being stubborn. I've...

I bought my wife an Ex-display HP G62 laptop from Tesco direct 2 years ago, she has began to complain that it is running really slow. I've checked and it shows that there are updates for windows, however it will not even open windows update program. I have a feeling that Tesco probably set up a...
