Since this afternoon, my Windows 7 laptop won't startup properly. The boot is completet, just as the login, but after that, when all the services seem to be loaded, Windows doesn't react to anything. This used to work the last 2 months and also before that, but around 2 month ago I reinstalled...

Greetings, Many weeks ago I built a new desktop system around an Intel Clarkdale i5-650 and Asus motherboard. Installed a newly licensed copy of Win7-64 Home Premium OEM. After weeks of installing programs, configuring, etc, I find that Win7 is not the system on which I choose to place primary...

I'm still trying to get used to my new Win7 desktop system. I've found many, many surprises in what MS has/has-not engineered into the product. In the past I've run weekly full-image backups of pre-Vista Windows systems by booting one partition of a multi-boot system to backup another...

I don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question but here goes: I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a notebook which previously ran Vista. No problems there ..... I've now installed Ubuntu (now updated to 10.04) so that it can boot to either OS. It all works fine and when I...

Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 home premium 64-bits. I upgraded it from a Windows vista business 32-bits. That was not trivial, but it worked fine. Problems came when a driver "classpnp.sys" made the system halt. Repair programs did not work until I copied another file over the driver and a...

Hello, Firstly, I am fairly technologically apt, but am certainly worlds away from being well versed in IT. I run Vista Ultimate on a Dell laptop, and I have been unable to edit or remove any of the multiple user accounts I no longer need. I will also mention that the laptop has 2 drives, C...

I have a multi-boot system w/ Windows XP-64, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, and developers copy of Win 7 Ultimate provided by Microsoft for testing. It is a full version, but will go inactive soon. I've installed Windows 7 in a 300Gb partition but want to purchase the correct copy Upgrade or...

Hello good buddies, I am running Windows 7 (RC1 for the time being - I understand it expires sometime in March of 2010) and love it. Easily the best Windows version yet. However, for several reasons I would like to be able to boot into XP on occasion. I have created a D: partition the in the C...

Windows 7 System Image Windows 7 has a feature called "System Image" to backup and recover the entire system. The image is compressed. You need a separate partition on your hard drive or a secondary hard drive. Windows 7 System Image does NOT create a bootable drive... nor does it include...
