I've accidentally switched my Windows XP Control Panel to "Classic Mode". How can I restore this back to the original Windows XP default (without reinstalling, of course)?
For some reason, over the past year I have tried to install imagemagick on my windows 7 machine running with XAMPP server (a LAMP package for windows) and I have failed every single try to the point that I think it is impossible, some people claim to have done it but I have yet to see it with my own eyes, I have tried every tutorial, user directions, instructions, you name it. WHy is it nearly impossible?
I would like to use a vm ubuntu installation as my testing environment, but to ease workflow, I have symlinked /var/www to a windows share. Everything looks good when browsing files and the owner and group both are showing up as www-data, but I can not seem to get apache to respond with anything other than permission denied. Obviously there are still some permission issues between Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but I don't know where to go
I have nothing but bad experiences in using built in raid controller.
Is there a possibility to use the software raid features of windows 2003 in Windows XP?
I deleted /boot/efi (while attempting to install archlinux).
There is one harddrive, 750GB, /dev/sda). The partitions are
/dev/sda1 ntfs 315MB
/dev/sda2 EFIboot 105MB <=== this got deleted
/dev/sda3 ? 135MB
/dev/sda4 ntfs 626GB <======= windows 8
/dev/sda5 ntfs
/dev/sda6 biosgrub 1MB ?
/dev/sda7 lvm 110GB <======== for linux
/dev/sda8 swap 13GB
Windows 8 still installed on /dev/sda4
How do I recreate / repair the /boot/efi (/dev/sda2) ?
I just converted a physical Windows XP x64 machine with 4 CPUs to a VMWare virtual machine with 4CPUs (on a ESX server) using the VMWare Standalone Converter.
Everything worked just great, except that the OS now seems to use only 2 CPUs (when 4 are installed, see the following image). This must be a Windows XP issue rather than a VMWare issue, but I can not really rule out any reason at this stage.
What can I do?
Is there a way to manage a Hyper-V cluster that runs on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter from a Windows 8.1 Pro workstation?
I've downloaded and installed the Remote Server Admin Tools for 8.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39296), but when I enable the Hyper-V manager, it tells me that I can't manage Hyper-V servers on 2K8 or 2K8R2.
Related, the Failover Cluster Manager barfs with a similar error.
How do I manage my old servers with my new workstation?
I've been using Shadow User and Deep freeze for windows xp. But I don't think its compatible with windows 7. Do you know of any application that can achieve the same thing?
Please don't tell me to use Returnil virtual system because I've had a really bad experience with it when I'm using xp. The system just restarted over and over. And I have just reformatted by that time.
I always hibernate my work (Windows 7, x64) laptop when leaving for the night. Sometimes when I come in again in the morning, the laptop is powered up and there's a message telling me that new updates have been installed. (I've changed the registry so automatic updates don't force a reboot.)
I'm happy to have Windows apply updates automatically, but I don't want it to resume from hibernation to do so. How can I stop this behaviour so I'm not wasting electricity?
Has anybody had any experience using XXClone as a tool for cloning an existing installation of Windows in order to move it from an old PATA drive to a new, larger SATA without having to reinstall everything? Did you have any problems? Or can you recommend an alternative (free) software tool that you know - preferably from repeated experience - is reliable?
I'm looking to move Windows XP Home SP3 to a new disk: same file system, same partition size.
Thanks for looking.
Is there a way to use the built-in windows file compression tool in command line? Instead of RightClick/Send To/Compress (Zipped) Folder.
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
Thanks!
Hi there
If I have my windows vista serial number, how can I know which version is it for (x86, x64, basic, etc).
Also, Can I download for free that windows version and use my serial to authenticate ? I have the serial on the back of my laptop.
I have a 64-bit Windows 7 install as the only partition on a 1 TB HDD, with about 350 GB free. I would like to install Fedora 17 as a dual-boot option on this system and give it about 100 GB to play with. If in the Fedora install utility I choose to shrink the W7 partition by 100 GB to give it space, will that cause me to lose my existing W7 data? And how do I go about setting up dual-boot (with Windows 7 as the default)?
is it possible to create hardlinks for a file on an ntfs partition using windows? ntfs obviously can handle hardlinks, since creating them with ntfs-3g works – the links even work in windows. or is this the only way to create hardlinks on ntfs?
This menu allows you to select a hardware profile when Windows is started
If your system is not starting correctly, then you may switch to a previous system configuration, important: system configuration changes made since the last successful start up will be discarded.
Profile 1
If I choose Profile 1 (the only choice) Windows loads normally.
This menu always appears when I turn on the computer.
Is there any can solve it?
I would like to be able to listen to music on both of two audio output devices, but Windows 7 seems to only allow me to select one or the other as the Default device. When device A is the Default device, device B is muted; and vice versa. This seems to be stunningly inflexible.
Since Windows 7 is unable to do this, can anyone recommend any add-on software that would control the hardware more flexibly and thoughtfully?
By default (at least in my installation), pinned items on the taskbar will be "icon only" when they have no active windows, but when there are active window, the icon expanded to include text (typically some portion of the title text).
I'm looking for a way to either:
A (preferred option):
For any single pinned item, force this pinned item to always display as just the icon even if it has active windows.
OR
B (acceptable option):
Force ALL pinned items to always display as icon only in the taskbar
I'm running an Asus Eee PC with Windows 7 Starter Edition I already have the Linksys print server set up for my Windows Vista laptop.
When I open the setup wizard on the Eee PC, as soon as I click on "set up computer" I get a prompt:
The OS not support
There don't seem to be any Win 7 drivers on Linksys' website (http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WPSM54G/download)
Well, for the project I envisioned I have MY software and want to attach 4 webcams to the PC. I dug deep down into development only to find out that...
Windows won't work with more than 2 webcams?!
Is there a way around that problem?
Information about my configuration:
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
Relevant applications running in x86 mode
Canyon or Prestigion 2Mpix web cam (running in 640x480 resolution at 30 FPS)
In my Core i5 desktop machine I tried to install windows 7 32 bit Ultimate. I received blue screen of death while installing OS. Earlier I had was 64 bit Windows vista which was working fine but now i cant install any of OS.
When I try to re-install OS again same error screen pops up? how can I fix this ? I have 4GB of RAM installed does it have problems with 32 bit OS.
When I install second OS I didn't reformat the entire hard disk.
I get the following error when I try to install some application on my windows 7 64 bit system.
How do I turn this off as I know that the applications that I'm installing are trusted.
I have turned off windows defender and tried to tweak internet explorer security settings according to the first few google results but yet I have the same error. (I also created a new user account and tried importing new registry keys but nothing even then)
How can I solve this?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 (dual-boot) on my laptop.For some reasons I want some more space in my Ubuntu partition.I have installed gParted in Ubuntu.Now is it recommended to get this required extra space from Windows 7 drive (*where my linux is installed *) directly using gParted? Will it cause damage to my boot loader or my data on the partition from where I wish to grab some space?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
So I upgraded my ubuntu to 12.10 but the Windows 7 problem seems to have happened not after doing the upgrade but later. I am not sure. Ubuntu is running fine, but how can I recover my Windows7? I tried running BootRepair in Ubuntu but it keeps scanning system endlessly... If I recover Windows with the Windows DVD I assume I will lose the GRUB menu and then not possible to start Ubuntu. How do i then proceed to recover the GRUB? Can I recover using the Ubuntu DVD?
