General Computer Support / Re: Backup and Restore Windows 7

« on: July 02, 2013, 12:14:43 am »

Thank you Shane.   I have run Tweaking.com All in One,  a number of times - doesn't help with the broken Backup, but works wonders elsewhere.    Also done a repair reinstall. a few registry tweaks recommended by Microsoft: nothing has ever worked.
I have Backup Maker installed, so I will try that, and look into FBackup.   Thank you so much!   BallyIrish

General Computer Support / Backup and Restore Windows 7

« on: July 01, 2013, 03:23:25 am »

Hi Tweaking.co. - the "Thumbs Down" is not meant for you, but for Microsoft and their Windows 7 Backup and Restore!   Thank you for Tweaking.com Repair all-in-one: a remarkable program to say the least - excellent is a better word.

You no doubt know that Windows 7 Backup and Restore is the subject of thousands of different Forums.   None of the buttons in my Backup facility even respond - nothing works.   I have had the best Geek in Somerset West, South Africa give up after two weeks of trying numerous "fixes" given in the Microsoft USA Forums and many other Tech forums.   One Microsoft superintendent suggested  "upgrade to Windows 8 which has a very good backup facility" "fix...

Tweaking.com does not fix the problem either - sadly. 

Could you please   look into this issue and mayb come up with a fix.  Microsoft South Africa Forums has offered no working fix either,   Tried Toms Hardware, Bleeping Computer and a host of others.   One "fix" removed the "Change Settings" and "Turn on Schedule" buttons, which your excellent Registry and Restore facility restored for me!   Thank you.   If you can fix this Backup and Restore, I reckon you will be the first.

Microsoft has known about this problem since 2010 but has not given us a fix - for obvious reasons, I suspect.   I paid $270.00 for my personal 32 bit, 64 bit and Drivers CDs (not OEM).   The 32 bit is installed.   Here are my specs:   Operating System
   Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1
CPU
   Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHz   45 °C
   Yorkfield 45nm Technology

General Computer Support / Re: Icons on Win7 Pro black squares of 1 cm

Thank you Shane.   I really don't know what I was thinking about, but I thought I was notified that Tweaking.com had been updated, but I obviously confused it with some other program.   Please accept my apologies!   

I used X-Teq, which I have used for years,  to remove the shortcut arrow, and you are exactly right: the black square is gone.

Thanks, problem solved, and there IS no Tweaking.com Beta, as you correctly said...

So sorry, and thanks for such an easy solution.

Thank you Shane, and Greetings!   

As I said, the program in Beta that I ran was Tweaking.com Beta.   

It is only shortcuts that come up as black squares, and the matter is not problematic, as the black square changes to the correct icon as soon as it is placed on a dock or menu.   But on the desktop it remains a black square, which,  oddly enough,   opens the relevant program if clicked.   

I think I know the  answer.    It seems that,  as I am using a wallpaper from Documents at the moment, and not from Microsoft's themes, Microsoft themes is causing the black square.   I'm not sure how to do a fix, but I'll  give it a try.

Thanks again and best regards.

Here's a good attachment showing exactly what I mean.   Comes from program shortcuts deleted to Recycle Bin.

I updated Tweaking.com to the latest Beta a few days ago.  After a run of the Beta TW.com, some icons of programs on Drive C:\, and always those on the desktop, come up as pitch black squares of 1 centimeter, but turn into proper icons for the program downloaded, or set as shortcuts, when moved to Object Dock,  Start Menu or Programs Menu.   What could be causing this and what can I do to fix this problem?  What the pre-Beta TW.com fixed, TW.com Beta has undone! Thanks.

Feedback & Suggestions / Re: Amazing program, some fixes and maybe errors

« on: April 29, 2013, 05:42:59 am »

Thank you Shane, er uh Dog.   

Yesterday to enhance my old XP Home I instaled XLive Windows 7 Ultimate Transformation Pack, which fixed the problem of the off-centre login.   So that problem is solved..   

As for the slow bootup, that is also fixed, and bootup takes about 20 tp 30 seconds.   So we can regard everything as settled and this matter as closed.   

I am very taken with your program and know that many errors were fixed, but I cannot say which errors.   My Windows 7 Pro and XP Home are now both very fast.   Windows Repair (all in one) is no doubt a unique and excellent program.

By the way, I did disable my AV on both machines before proceeding.

Thank you for the reply and  for fixing my PCs!

Feedback & Suggestions / Amazing program, some fixes and maybe errors

Ho there Tweaking.com.   
Thank you for the incredible Windows Repair (All in One). ex MajorGeeks,   
Today I used it for the first time on my Windows 7 Pro and XP Home SP3. 
After repairs: Windows 7:- 3 notifications on restart:- "Personalized Settings, Setting Up up for C:\Windows\system32\Rundll32.exe; C:\Windows\system32\mscories.dll.install - also RunDLL32...." -  (the message disappeared before I could write the third one down fully.   Whilst installing any program, I request a desktop icon and always got a small black square.   The correct icon appeared when the black square was placed in my dock or menu.   The scan with Windows Repair FIXED that problem!   No more black square.   
A lot of repairs were logged.   The three notifications reinstalled themselves whilst restarting.   
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz; 4 GB Dual Channel DDR 3 RAM @ 666 MHz (9-9-9-24) Yorkfield 45 nm Technology; 500 GB HDD.   Being 76 I don't understand the log contents.

Scanning XP Home SP3 produced no problems. A lot of repairs were logged, but my two every day errors (which started recently) were not fixed: the window always opens two inches from the left side and has to be adjusted back to Default/Apply (Intel Graphics) and bootup takes forever with the screen black, then the wallpaper appears and another 3 minutes while all the hidden programs and my 6 self starters come to life.   From then on the old XP runs fast and true (Core 2 Duo), 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD.   These two problems were not fixed.

I,ll send you a donation in a few days.  Thank you.   Please keep working on this extraordinary program!
