Random BSOD's, and seemingly random results ...

Hi all, At work we are running over 320 identical mini PC's in plant (tablet like things), they are running a Windows 7 Embedded environment, their function is to display jobs and other related work information. I look after, maintain and repair light issues with these units (anything out of my level gets repaired by the manufacturer). All of these units run a image that I also maintain...

Hard drive is not detected

Hi I found your forum while searching for answers for my problem and it seems that your forum is a good place to ask for technical help. I am having trouble with a laptop that is not showing the hard drive at all, and I am not sure whether it is a dead drive or it might be of other reasons. It is a HP Pavilion with intel i3, the HDD has 640gb with Windows 7 OEM. It belongs to a friend and she...

Hi, *I have Windows7 *Internet Explorer *Google Chrome *Firefox I'm not real computer "savvy" Here's my issue: Every time now when I’m on a any website, and there is a, for example, CONTACT From to fill out. At the end, I’m being asked: I'm not a Robot from this reCAPTCHA. And every time when i click that little sq. box and it pulls up a larger box with several squares of pics to...

Options possible for Win 7 as a back up....?

0
0
Several months ago I upgraded from Win 7 to Ultimate and all OK, however it's slowed down quite a lot lately and wondering what the best options are as I'll always need it as a back up to Win 10 in case of any problems. As I've just finished a "Fresh Start" update to Win 10 which has seen a big improvement, is there anything similar available these days to get back to the original Win 7 specs...

Safe To Install All Windows Updates?

0
0
Skipping over the details, but a while back it became necessary for me to do a reinstall of Windows. Since then I have had a bunch of old Windows Updates in the "recommended" and/or "optional" category sitting there which I was initially afraid to run because I am trying to avoid W10. I know that the free "upgrade" to W10 period has long since passed. Is it safe for me to go ahead and...

old HDD not detected when used as external drive

Good afternoon guys. I have a Lenovo V570 laptop with a 1TB HDD which was on the blink and was throwing errors about once a week. A very nice person on this forum suggested I swap out the old HDD for a new one - which I did. Using the same laptop, I'm now using the new HDD and it's working great with everything transferred over. Problem is, when I attach the OLD HDD to the computer...

Can't Recover Win 7 on Toshiba Satellite Laptop

In 2012 I made a DVD set of 5 that was supposed to let me reinstall windows. The DVD set does not work. There is no BAT file on them, and no other executables that will let me run them. After 3 hours I am at a loss and the only thing I can think of is to reload from a USB drive. I am running (i.e. I ran) Windows 7 on laptop, 6 GB RAM. The hard drive still has files on it but none of them...

Disabled WDD/ Hibernate, in...

What to do: Windows CD couldn't repair my Windows?

0
0
Granted it's been many years since I wiped my system and started fresh. However, the timing now isn't the best because I don't have the time to reinstall everything. I tried every option. Windows 7 CD couldn't restore previous restored points, it couldn't fix Windows to boot. I just ended up rebooting into the bios and the menu prompt that I couldn't boot. With no other option, I had to...

Intermittent 7B on startup

0
This started happening earlier this week; I get a 7B error (0xFFFFF880003A9928) on startup, but not every time or even every day. Every time it's happened so far, I could simply reboot normally without having to go to safe mode. I ran chkdsk /f which came up with no errors. I hadn't added any new hardware, touched system settings or even updated any drivers recently so I haven't a clue what...

Separate drives for programs & data ?

0
0
Currently I’m using only a single drive for everything but want to change & use an SSD for the OS & programs and an HDD for my data (documents, photos, etc.). Then I can make an image of the SSD with all the programs and make a separate backup of all my data. Somewhere I read that making a copy of the C:\ Users folder will make a copy of all my data. That makes sense because a folder with my...

Can't close a frozen windows explorer in Windows 7

I'm running 7 on a Dell desktop which has worked very well for 5 years. All this started because I had made a video on a video camera and put the S-drive in my desktop to view it, something I have done many times before although not recently. I opened up the drive and saw the files but as I tried to open them, explorer froze. This has caused me to turn the computer off and reboot twice--the...

Chrome not using profile

i recently set up a 2nd Win7 machine, a Gateway, with the intention of using that one for online work. I'll refer to them by brand. I can use only Chrome for work, so I went to *chrome://versions* to confirm profile location. I copied my profile from this HP to the Gateway. The newest version is 70, and Chrome was using only the bookmarks, not the rest of the profile, which includes...

Do TV Tuner cards really work in W7 HTPC build

Hello everyone, Need help in deciding is it going to be worth all the trouble of installing a TV Tuner card to have the ability to record live and future event TV programmes. I read mixed reviews on every card I find but would appreciate some others feedback who have done this with positive trustworthy performance results. My thoughts are that I would expect more success with W7 considering...

Hi, I'm trying to migrate my Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 32-bit OS on an SSD to a new, Aspire TC-780 computer but I cannot find the proper drivers.
