I have windows home premium 64 bit and did the gpedit_msc install, copied the required folders to the system32 folder but it seems like almost all the settings in group policy don't kick in when I apply them. For instance, I enabled the "prevent access to command prompt" yet all users can still...

I'm using a Toshiba Laptop(L750-X5317) with windows 7 home premium. Last week while starting the laptop, it got stuck at "Starting Windows" screen. I then switched it off and restarted it again. It asked for "Start up repair" or "Start windows normally". I chose start windows normally. It...

I'm sorry if this is a bit long, but I would like to provide as much detail as possible. I've searched high and low and found no solutions. I decided to finally take the plunge and install Windows 7 64-bit. Win7 32-bit worked great. I've tried installing 64-bit via both CD and USB and they both...

Hello. It seems as if my command prompt will not let me do any simple system commands such as ping, ipconifg, etc. And it will also not let me use commands for my compiler. The paths are set properly in the environment variables, but it still does not work. See the screencap below...

​Installed Win 7 Ultimate on a HP Pavilion g7 that was running Win 7 Pro. Everything runs fine, but for the f8 key. Regardless of when I depress the key during initial start-up, all I get is 9-10 loud beeps and normal start-up. I realize that, if all I were looking to do is use safe mode, I...

I have seen this issue on the forum before, but I have yet to find a solution. Hope I'm a lucky one. I turned on the computer this evening and it gave me the "Windows was not Shut Down Properly" message followed by the options to start in Safe Mode, or Start Normally. I started it up...

Is it possible to change the default mount options for NFS mounts under windows 7? I have my mp3s on a file server, and windows likes to 'lock' it, and I can not play my files if its mounted with the lock option, so I have to disconnect, and go to a command prompt, and remount to play them...

I'm stuck at this screen. Starting Windows normally sends me back, and startup repair "can not fix this computer automatically". Choosing the other modes sends me back as well. I don't have a restore point, and I don't want to reinstall windows and lose all my files for a 2nd time in just a...
