[QUOTE=reganstar;950887]Maybe is a problem with your version of Vista. Did you install this version on other PC?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Suspishio;950959]Nonsense. Anyway, if I've understood post #3 correctly, the problem's resolved.[/QUOTE] Have to agree... utter tripe.

processes I can see staight of the bat: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ms18_word.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [do_not_delete] C:\WINDOWS\system32\do_not_delete.exe (ironic I know) Those two alone (especially on XP) can do untold damage to the OS, as well as dropping in other extras. MBA is definitely the way to go. And get a decent AV client …

@Caperjack Have actually previously advised you on this issue... in most cases drivers for Win7 [B]are not difficult to find, as 99% of Vista drivers will work just fine!![/B]. If you haven't bothered to follow advice, or responded/posted as to where you are stuck, don't bother whinging! To the OP …

There are three major concerns that get raised when companies talk of outsourcing to India: [B]Sacrificing local employment[/B] - if companies are seen to be more concerned with making a bigger profit than contributing local economy by employing from within their OWN country, how can the [I]consumer[/I] have any assurance …

UM, why don't you Google "cursor packs", just as suggestion. Even XP supported using alternate cursors. A tonne of the around!

Hmmm.... would begin by hopping onto said Mactards machine and dragging system files into "Trash".... and then [I]emptying[/I] said Trash. You can then proudly respond with "that wouldn't happen on Windows" :D As to the recovery of files on the USB drive, you might be pushing it.... thus the reason …

Also have to agree with Rik... just because it fits doesn't mean it is compatible. Being that it is a 5yo machine, are likely looking at serious RAM limitations, both in terms of capacity limits and in terms of write-speed compatibility. If you can give us the model number, would …

Sounds like the boot-log corrupted. I don't see why you don't have recovery-disk for your notebook... Toshiba ALWAYS provide a recovery disk, unless something drastic has very recently changed. Sure you didn't throw it out with the original box??

Bear in mind this is the [B]Vista and Windows 7[/B] board, and as such might not get as much help as if you [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum10.html"]asked over there[/URL]... just a tip :)

Mate, you need to start a new topic post, as a) this a very old posting and b) your issues are unrelated. If you start a now topic, will guide you through it

Um, not really sure how the GP Manger relates to the System Protection Manger, which handles Restore-Point creation. Can you take a little more time to clearly explain what you are actually hoping to achieve?

Just as aside, not all apps actaully [I]provide[/I] an install log, or at the least in the location you would expect it to be (wonderful I know). In this case the best course of action is three-phase (and this is [B][I]only[/I][/B] after exhausting [B]all[/B] uninstall attempts, including looking for add-on …

Actually does look clean (anyone feel free to spot anything I've missed), so may well be related to recent registry clean-up. I know I don't simply trust a reg cleaner to start pulling reg-entries out, as this is one area of Windows [I]not[/I] covered by system restore, meaning if you …

It may not be listed in Services due to the fact you took the aggressive approach of hacking reg and taking away core files... now Windows sees the security level is vulnerable. Because of those changes, it might make actually turning off the service (can be done quite easily without …

Often you can crack open a corrupted Word document using Notepad. Simply open Notepad and drag the respective file into the open window. It will be minus any formatting, but will at least give you what ever you've written, which can then be cut-and-pasted into a new Word document and …

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a common issue with ppl flying overseas and Windows suddenly going haywire? Is there a security issue that we are not aware of at large, or is it simply coincidence?

I do know the Win Update system got targeted recently by a bogus Win Update alert (was reading over at [URL="http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=3916"]ZDnet[/URL] only yesterday). Have two choices really: [LIST] [*]DL, install and run [URL="http://www.malwarebytes.org/"]MalwareBytes[/URL] and [URL="http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php"]HijakThis[/URL] and try to fix the problem, or [*]Perform a clean reinstall of Windows and remember …

[QUOTE=Rik from RCE;942368]What protective software do you have though? System restore can often be badly affected by malware.[/QUOTE] Was actually wondering the same thing. A large number of malware-variants will either hide themselves in Sys restore for re-spawning, or disable Sys Restore to make recovery all the more difficult. DL …

If you two want to go swapping kisses, can you at least pull the shades?? My Windows are fogging up :D Agree with advice, but finding one or two apps to cover the spread might be more resource friendly than trying to find a small flotilla of AV-type utilities (sure …

Just a quick question. You have Ad-aware installed (as shown in first logs posted). Did you actually try running [I]that[/I] in safe mode? As would have at least gotten most, even if not all, the malware hooks out.

As much as I'm currently dual booting btwn Vista and Win7, am curious as to whether this post is meant to provide advice or simply spam the boards??

Have you tried running the installer as Admin? Also, in Win7, you can right-click on the installer and select [B]troubleshoot[/B], as may have a Windows Build detection facility built in which is getting in the way - the troubleshoot utility can shut that off if need be.

glad to see problem sorted out... can you please set thread as "solved" so others know to move on?

Yup, can agree here. Mapping a network drive is on a user-by-user basis. Imagine the security nightmare presented by one user mapping a drive to an account [I]they[/I] have legitimate access to, and other users on that machine also piggy-backing of that access privilege.

Mate, given the age of said monitor, chances are the thing has simply DIED! May well be time to update.

[QUOTE=faisu;942742]u have any UBUNTU(linux) cd ??? boot from this cd as liveuser then format root drive then check it...best of luck[/QUOTE] Um, kind of a throw-away comment, as booting from any Windows disk gives one the same ability (under advanced options when selecting HDD or partition to install Windows to). …

Can't say have had any issues this end on two Win7 notebook. Have you tried using the [B]troubleshoot[/B] option, run from a right-click on the wireless sys-tray icon?

Or can simply right-click on file in question, go to "open with" and set the default app to handle the file :)

A little drastic. Win7 (like earlier Windows installs) will give you the option to select install drive and leaves the other drives unaffected. Unless you are a novice, identifying the correct HDD should be no issue

Have to agree, repairing may set you back more than a new monitor (prices have come way down anyhow). I have heard of some serious issues regarding the internal power supply. If is still in warranty, you may have luck in getting it fixed - but with what I've heard …

Can you boot up in safe mode? If so, try running a system restore from there and rolling back the updates. Afterward, try adding the available updates one or two at a time - should have less issues, and will allow you to catch if it is a particular update …

What RAM is installed, as sounding like might be a memory issue (given that crashes were most prevalent in cases of high resource usage. Try pulling out all but one stick of RAM and re-try installing Windows. If it gets stuck, swap out the RAM with another stick and re-try. …

OK - try this in case drivers became corrupted during power-outage: [LIST] [*]Make sure keyboard and mouse are [B]plugged in[/B] [*]Go to Device Manger (from Control Panel), and [B]uninstall[/B] drivers for the [B]correct[/B] mouse and keyboard [*]Unplug devices and re-plug (leave for at least 30 secs before re-plugging to allow …

Easier than trying to explain, have a look at [URL="http://www.pc1news.com/videos/modify-hosts-file-18.html"]this[/URL] tutorial. Only difference I would advise is once [B]Hosts[/B] file is located, open Notepad as Admin and drag-drop file into Notepad... this will allow saving changes in a sys-protected file

Just for the purpose of clarification, In the original post you said it was "Internet Explorer" which was not functioning properly, now you say "Windows Explorer" that is issue. Which is it?

Are the network adapters the same model/brand, and do you have the most suitable drivers installed on the troubled machine? You may simply be looking at a device for which never saw compatible drivers made for either Vista or Win7 (as Vista drivers would work for Win7)

It actually sounds like a memory issue, as Firefox can be a pain to get fully closed down if memory usage is too high; the stuttering media also suggest this. Can you quickly give us a run down of you system specs?
