General Computer Support / Re: Cannot connect to scanner
« on: April 03, 2020, 10:25:51 am »
My introduction to Windows 10 is proving to have a sharp learning curve. I created a username for and logged into Nvidia which auto upgraded my graphics driver but this was also also correlated with the loss of most of my taskbar set up, all the  data in my downloads folder, and many programs now need to be re-registered- adobe, office, etc. So I have to figure out if there's a way to tell Nvidia not to upgrade drivers automatically, to give me a chance to do a backup first. I still haven't solved the driver problem with my Epson scanner and I have installed and reinstalled the software that was pointed out above. Steve

can win 10 be reinstalled in place without wiping out the hard drive, like win xp could do?

I am installing Visual Studio, as a way of trying to make sure that all re framework and c++ is up-to-date.  I am less sure about downloading the many patches available for gamers with the same error.

Thank you very much!  I am moving over to a new hard drive.  Curiously, I am getting this error. See attached, when I try to run qGIS, a mapping program.

Wow! Thanks!  My win 7 disc seems to have been provided by Lenovo and microsoft not not recognize it as valid.  When I use it, am I choosing z) make a new install or something like b) repair an existing installing.

H have win 7 professional. I have a win 7 prof CD, from microsoft.  I just don't know how to use it, for repair only, that is not to reinstall windows and by the way delete everything on the HD.  It's in it's envelope and has a serial number.  Could I somehow use this.  Lenovo has it's own software to download requisite drivers.

good points.  Will do.  Think I can retrieve the product key.  Will have to wait to do so, for a few hours.

I would like to try your idea, then.  If you send the link, I will download it.  As far product keys go, this lenovo came preinstalled with win 7 and no product.  I believe, but would have to confirm it, that when windows installs, it is able to read a key from the machine.

I am not familiar enough with even viewer to use it.  The picture was taken while chkdsk was running and it shows this text:
#1
6548 large file records processed
0 bad file records  processed
162 reparse records  processed
#2
correcting error in index $I30 for file 9954

I have lenovo recovery discs but, as far as I can tell, they will destroy all data while resetting the machine to factory specs.  I am attempting to get the disc in good-enough condition such that I can clone it.  So far, when I have tried to clone with acronis, I couldn't, probably because the disc has had errors.

I can stop tweaking.com #5 and restart it?

I don't know how to start windows recovery.  But got it to go there by turning off the machine, probably damaging something, so then I had a choice of either running recovery or booting normally.

1. I left the machine running your step #5, all night.  This morning, it is still doing 1 of 3: repairing WMI.  There is no screen output so I do not know if the program is stuck in a loop or what.
2. What should I do?  Should I let it continue with #5, for today?  Or, should I stop your program and run sfc /scannow or run step #25 and pause the output when I see errors.  The errors in #25 were along the lines of could not find the file but repeated many times.  Previously, I ran sfc /scannow, a few times, and each time got all files are correct.
3.  So if I am missing a service, I can get it from the windows7 site, greate tip.
4. I have about 30 minutes before I need to leave, so hopefully you can get back to me.
Thank you, Steve

Would not go into safe mode (F8 repeatedly), went to check disc.
#1
6548 large file records processed
0 bad file records  processed
162 reparse records  processed
#2
correcting error in index $I30 for file 9954

Then booted to win 7.  Can not load tweaking.com.  Stuck on loading windows variables 71%, this time.  Will try to boot to safe mode.

I stopped the program, tried to run it again to get to fix reparses.  but the program got stuck loading on a .txt file.  I think it is pretty clear that stopping the program damages something.
