Was the computer connected to the internet during the printer installation? Probably not. It appears as if Windows update components are missing. Try: disconnect the USB cable from the computer, uninstall the printer, possibly a registry scan, restart the PC, install the drivers from the CD (only if you want to use additional functions such as printing on CDs or the like), connect to the Internet and then Connect the printer to the PC via USB. Now Windows Update should start and install missing components. Restart. Works (maybe).

I use the Classic start menu. Is much clearer and easier to use. Just binge or googling

Weak freestyle from the workshop.
The error messages are a bit more severe. I can't help you specifically, see that as a way of thinking. I'm assuming win 7 32-bit is installed. A possible cause could be that the BIOS, hardware and 32-bit do not harmonize. Try a 64-bit version. You can activate a burned copy with the 32-bit key.
As a precaution: Burn one or two Rescue CD's from different providers and let the PC boot from them. Because of uninvited guests and such.
Install the 64-bit, update the bios and then hope.
And still very important: Change the workshop. -
Go to search / rotrud and Properties Windows Explorer
The vulture knows what the cause was. Except for the reinstallation of Win 7 32-bit nothing was installed and still the Explorer puked. A Win 7 64-bit and a BIOS update helped.
Now it's going well. Have fun. -
1. Custom installation of the programs on partition D in the new folder "Programs".
2. Log in with administrator rights and open the registry editor via Start -> Programs -> Run. Enter "regedit" there and click OK. In the left side navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \.
Change the two entries on the right, "ProgramFilesPath" and "ProgrammFilesDir". Change the standard installation directories by double-clicking.Note: Not every program adheres to the specifications. Sometimes setups choose their own paths. Hence the custom installation

Regarding the question of formatting, only the C is formatted. I've been doing it this way for years, C for Windows, D for everything else, including installed programs. There are very great advantages to this. Keyword Windows reinstallation.
Regarding the email question, after formatting all data is gone. LifeMail has thwarted my PC, even though it is very well equipped. I have two important emails. I use Googlemail online, the emails including the addresses are saved on Google and I have SeaMonkey Mail on the PC, of course on partition D. -
Helloween is right, it's recovery. I flattened them too. My lap looks like this: C 24GB total, 9GB free and is only for Windows. Partition D is for the programs (the install path is D: / Programs), for your own files and everything else. I've been using this configuration for years on the desktop PC and the Läppi. I have the drivers on the hard drive and on CD.
System-reserved 100MB (70MB free) appear in Control Panel / Administration / Computer Management / Disk Management, but they don't lift me. That seems to be the flattened recovery.
The whole thing has several advantages: After reinstalling Windows, all files are on the D, no losses, some programs (I would even say many) just continue to run without reinstalling. No reinstallation, no registry entries. Although the Windows uninstallation routine is missing for these programs, I use Revo-Uninstaller if necessary. Let me now make a claim: Revo is more effective.
And there is another advantage: I only install programs that are no longer running when I need them. The latest version is searched for on the Internet beforehand.
Have fun digesting. -
Ignore at first. It will be installed on C. Either before or after the reinstallation, investigate what it is. 8 GB is a lot. Find the exe file or the help file. If none of it is in that folder, go to Details and try under Endungen.de - do you know how it ends? - The file extension reference work on the Internet to find out the meaning.

To 1: network
In a Windows network, a PC - usually the one with the "latest" operating system - takes on the function of the "master browser". This master browser collects information about the existing PCs in the network and their shares (directory and printer shares). Other PCs in the network first contact this "master browser" to obtain this information. When this "master browser" shuts down, it tries to log out of the network and hand over its task to another PC. Maybe you can test the following times: Before shutting down, pull out the network cable. Then the PC should notice very quickly that it cannot communicate with others. If that helps, you can switch off the master browser function in the registry.To 2: swap file
With some TuneUp utilities you can set that the swap file is deleted when the system is shut down. Passwords can be saved in clear text in the swap file. Deleting it may make sense on PCs with sensitive data (e.g. doctor's office, law firm, etc.). Because if the PC is stolen or someone gains access with a Linux Live CD, the swap file could be copied and searched for passwords. In the private environment, however, this security aspect is usually unnecessary. Even if the swap file is set to an initial size of, for example, 3 Gb, it can grow considerably during use; e.g. on 6 or 10 Gb. Because Windows keeps many program parts in the main memory - even if programs have long been closed - because: The user could start these programs again a short time later. And then deleting a very large swap file during shutdown takes correspondingly longer. So maybe take a look:
How big is the paging file before shutdown?
How big is it after a restart?
If there is a big difference: Either undo the function of deleting the swap file or set in the registry that programs that are no longer required are removed from the main memory.Re 3: XPAntiSpy is now compatible with Win 7. Hook in, hook out, nothing more.
To 4: A registry cleaner could also help. Make a backup beforehand.

There is one thing you should pay attention to before you change anything in the operating system. If you can no longer restore the original condition (laptop does not start up), the guarantee may be void. Mainboard, hard drive or power supply defective and it happened. Your decision.
I have a Sony laptop (Vaio). I stressed him for 3 months, then I had a friend burn Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit and installed it. (The bios remains almost as it is). My original key unlocked the whole thing and it works perfectly. It is legal! You take the drivers for graphics and sound cards etc. from the original CD (right-click to open the CD drive) or note down the hardware from the original device manager and download the drivers from the Internet. The advantage of the whole story: the registry is virgin and the operating system is lean.
In the autostart I only have 3 programs: a desktop calendar, an antivirus program with a firewall and a Trojan checker. And even those could be started with a double click after booting up the PC.
Another tip: With Windows 7 Loader you can equip several PCs with one Win 7 CD. However, this is illegal!
And especially when you start your car: all of them -
Thanks, it didn't work, I made use of online support weeks ago, result 0. Immediately after a new installation, I tend to think that the registry remains or that the hardware is incompatible. Maybe unplug both (old) hard drives and install them on a brand new one?

There is VistaStartMenu 3.55 and Classic Windows Start Menu 3.2, both of which are freeware and easy to google

After right-clicking on Computer / Properties, the message appears: Windows Explorer is no longer working properly
After a short time, the message is closed and then the following appears: Windows Explorer will be restarted
After a short time, the message is closed and the desktop
will be rebuilt. The computer (workstation) is then in its basic position.This message has appeared since the installation of Win 7. (Win 7 only, no other program)
Several variants were installed:
Variant 1: Win XP quickly formatted on C, Win 7 installed
Variant 2: C formatted normally, Win 7 installed
Variant 3: Viesta installed, Win 7 installed over it
Variant 4: Partitions C, D, and E formatted then Win 7 installed on C.
Variant 5: C formatted Win 7 installed on E (2nd hard disk)
Current status: Win 7 installed on C with the error message described above .
Thank you in advance to all who are concerned. -
Perfect Disk 7 and JK Defrag 3.16 (both German and free), with JK Defrag you can even defragment all partitions in one go.
Decluttering first might help more. I have had good experience with pcwKill and pcwCleaner. Tiny and effective programs (free in German).
Install pcwKill in the folder C: \ Windows (absolutely), then install and configure pcwCleaner.
With Regcleaner 4.3.0.780 the autostart can be easily cleaned up and the registry can be cleaned of rubbish.
And with Erunt 1.1 the registry can be defragmented.
Both programs small, free and German.
Finally, defragment the hard drive, then the boy would have to pick up speed again. -
This appears to be a Windows 2000 message. But it could be the same under XP. The message indicates a hardware conflict, maybe you are using hardware or drivers that are not fully Win 2k / XP compatible?
[FONT = "] Since the error only occurs if the access takes place under certain conditions, the error does not occur constantly. That means, the sound card does not have to be, the W-Lan, the USB, the graphics card etc. can be Reinstallation usually does not help either. Updating all drivers could help.

The previous Viesta installation will undermine XP. The "wrong" CD is recognized. A Win 95 could not be installed over Win 98 either.
Try it like this:
Put the Viesta CD in and restart
When prompted, press any key and start with CD.
Wait until Viesta lists the partitions
Delete the partition with the former Viesta installation (mostly C :) (L key -Enter- B key)
With multiple partitions, I would do the same thing with all other partitions. The background is, I have 2 hard drives and 3 partitions. C and E is a hard disk and is partitioned, D is the 2nd hard disk. After a new installation, Windows folders were on the D.
Might save you a lot of work if you delete everything.
After deleting the partitions Viesta CD out and XP CD in and restart. The installation could now work.
I keep my fingers crossed! -
It didn't work for me either, I switched to the freeware Spybot & Search. Seems a lot better to me.

Try to find the path in the registry.
Type Start / Run and Regedit. Edit / Find.
Enter the folder name. The path is listed somewhere, if found, note, close registry, folder view (in the Control Panel or Tools / Folder Options / View activate the option "Show all files and folders", then finding it should work.
If not, heart surgery in the registry, with the risk of the death of the entire XP.
Dc seems to stand for digital camera or digicam, should it be part of a virus scanner or something similar, some entries cannot be deleted. In the left column of the registry you can right-click to change the access authorization and allow full access.
Think about the eventual death.
I sent the search function of XP together with the puppies into the desert and use the classic search, the advanced search option is activated. I think that's more efficient. -
Hallo,
have the following problem ...
fray
There are 2 programs that I know, RockXP 3.0 and Chip Powertol. Both free to download. Rock is English, Chip Powertool is German. Both very easy to use. Chip Powertool has a decisive advantage, you can still tickle the PC a little while driving. rotrud
