system image

Hi That's supposed to say Can't open Start Menu. I got some forced updates today, not to the new version of TP, and now I can't open the start menu, or type in the search windows on the Task Bar? I created a system image yesterday but I thought that I'd see if anyone has any experience with...

Hello, newbie here. I recently had a scare with a vendor who changed settings and did not put back. When problems were noticed they tried to blame on my computer. Restore points or system image seem perfect to protect me from this in the future. I want to be able to back these points or...

That’s one last question before I move on to Acronis True Image. I’ve been trying for at least a full day and I believe the last half of yesterday to sort out how to restore from a network “WINDOWSBACKUPIMAGE” I spelled it that way because that’s how Windows spells it when it creates it However...

I create a new system image every week on a secondary internal drive. Do I need to make a new system repair disc too, or will the existing one continue to function?

Hi This was a real battle but after an hour of struggle I finally did it. I needed to get rid of it because I only allotted 100 Gb for my Windows 10 drives and the Windows.old folder was using 17 of it, leaving only a small amount of free space. I usually just log into Ubuntu and remove...

Hi Windows updated my sound drivers again, I saw that is was doing it but couldn't stop it. And once more my sound quit working. I need to get Windows to run the drivers that work for my card. I seems that, if you have drivers that work it should let you chose to use them. Anyone have any...

Hi I just got through setting everything up in build 9926. Most of the problems I had with the previous build have been fixed. My keyboard lights work, but the Caps Lock key doesn't work exactly as it should. The Caps Lock key does turn on Caps Lock, but it won't turn it off again. To turn it...

Hi all, I had W7 on my PC, then partitioned the HD so I was able to dual boot with Ubuntu. Now I don't remember because it was a while ago but I'm nearly positive that after installing Ubuntu, I also used W7 and it worked. But I'm not 100% positive. I can still access the W7 HD from within...

So, pretty much how it goes is that - a couple of programs (specifically, 2 that I have found so far) are not able to run at all on my computer, one being an installer and the other the Windows Backup tool. In Backup and Restore, there are a couple of options such as "Create a system image"...

Hi As everyone here probably knows I had issues with sound when I updated to Windows 8.1. Recently I've been running Windows 10 Technical Preview and my sound works fine. That is until I added Windows 8.1 Media Center to it. When I did that my sound problems returned just as they were before...
