Got this error "NTLDR is missing" after applying image
by Guest jashan- 0 replies
- 115 views
I installed Windows 7 enterprise on one PC(clean install), and there is only one partition(no 100MB partition). After running sysprep, I grabbed the image with ImageX. But when I applied this image to the other PC, it didn't boot into windows. I got this error instead "NTLDR is missing". So I have to boot with Win 7 repair disk and have to fix mbr (using bootsect in command prompt) every time. Is there any way to solve this problem? Continue reading...

reformated and reinstalled windows xp sp3 on HP Elitebook 8530P, no sound
by Guest ALEWEEKS47- 0 replies
- 213 views
I recently had to reformat my HP Elitebook 8530P, win xp sp3, Intel Core 2 duo. Everything is functioning fine except the sound. No sound from internal or external. I have exhausted all the HP website support software and drivers. I updated all drivers, Bios and chipset as well as MS UAA. Device mgr. indicates that all device drivers are working with no problems. I have a .xps document but I don't see a way to attach it. I'm hoping that you can suggest something other than reinstalling everything. Let me know if there is another way to send the .xps attachment. Thanks, Al Weeks Continue reading...

Does the hotfix entitled A "Set Network Location" dialog box appears when you first log on to a domain-joined Windows 7-based client computer (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028749) still apply to Windows 7 SP1? The article doesn't specify which version(s) it applies to. I noticed this problem when building RTM images, but I just now discovered the hotfix. I'm now working on making SP1 images, but I don't want to apply the hotfix if it's already integrated. Continue reading...

Where has the 'recent pages' arrow gone from the new Windows Explorer 9. I= inadvertently upgraded on my home computer and am finding it incredibly fr= ustrating that it has been taken away and do not want to upgrade my work co= mputer until it is put back. Using the 'back pages' arrows does not necess= arily have the same effect because sometimes you get 'locked in' to a web p= age and have to open up a whole new window and start all over again. With = the 'recent pages' arrow, you could just scroll down to the page you wanted= to go back to. Please, please, bring it back. Tracy Tyson tracy.tyson@btinternet.com Continue reading...

MSE - Unable to turn on Windows Defender
by Guest fairybyangel- 0 replies
- 136 views
original title: New to MSE I used to have Norton, but I continued to have viruses turning it off and come on my computer, and had live help via phone 3x! So now I have downloaded MSE and have had this for the past month now. I also saw several people in the community who reccommended downloading Malwarebytes to get rid of any deep malware you think your computer may have. So I did this also. So far in the past month I have not had ANYTHING come up on the MSE and my Windows Defender will not turn on. I have updated the defenitions to Windows Defender at least 4x, yet it keeps saying it's out of date. I also get quite a bit of stuff on the Malwarebytes and it's always from…

Hello, I am having a problem with IE9's History function.

OS: Vista Home SP2 IE build: 9.0.8112.16421 Update: 9.0.4 (KB 2618444) Thanks! Continue reading...

I am running Windows XP Home, SP3.

I have searched high and low for a way to get them back to the "BLUE E" icons. But so far, to no avail. Can someone tell me what I can do to get the HTML icons back in windows explorer? Thanks, Sincerely, GoldenEagles. Continue reading...
