I have a lenovo e445 think pad running windows 8. It was running slow so yesterday I ran the recovery discs but power went out and laptop died before installation completed. Now I'm stuck with a error that says windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation. But I can't figure out how.

Slow booting and freezes because of errors.

Proper way to make a Hidden System Restore

I'm running Win 8.1 Pro and wish to split my 2TB drive (Drive D) and have a hidden System Restore Recovery placed there incase of a reload. I place all installed software on D: so as not to use up all my 120GB SSD (My problem is I loose DVDs all the time and just want to make it easier and have a hidden drive for reload purposes.)

Results for sfc /scannow

0
0
Is there a "switch" that can be used with sfc /scannow that will save the result in a text file - preferably in a location and name selected by the user.

The available documentation indicates that the results from sfc /scannow should be saved to either "sfcdetails.txt" or "CBS.log".

I have been unable to find a file called "sfcdetails.txt".

The "CBS.log" file contains numerous entries, most of which are probably irrelevant but some of which might be helpful. Microsoft have a detailed document on "How to Analyse the CBS.log". Regrettably this was last updated for Vista, so although the information might still be applicable I am reluctant to accept that the information is still accurate - a lot has happened to Windows since the days of Vista.

The "CBS.log" file is also not specific to a particular scan. It tends to accumulate lots of data over a period, only a small part of which might be relevant to the results of a current scan.

Cleaned, missing obex file bluetooth

Hi, i have spent days trying to find out why my bluetooth stopped working. i cleaned my laptop, (some of them remove certain files, much to my annoyance) and have been on the microsoft site (amoung many others) and it says :

Bluetooth not working in Windows
1] Update your Bluetooth drivers. This in most cases, helps resolve the issue.

2] For Bluetooth to work, the Bluetooth, Bluetooth Device Monitor, Bluetooth OBEX Service and the Bluetooth Support Services have to be running properly, so check if they are started and running. To do so, Run services.msc. to open the Services Manager. Check if they are set to Automatic (delayed) and if the Service is started and running. If not click on the Start Service button to start the service. See if this helps.

i have updated windows and drivers. i can not put the OBEX file on, as now it is MISSING!

All i want to do, is down load the missing file. QUALCOMM ATHEROS BLUETOOTH SUITE (64)(64x) or FILE OBEX

i am windows 8 with 8.1 update.

please help me. my bluetooth will not search or look for or work !!!!!

Gateway system restore flash drive

I tried to dual boot windows 10TP with windows 8.1 on my Gateway laptop. I was not given the option of choosing a partition for Windows 10 so it installed and replaced Windows 8.1.


I did, when I bought the computer, copy the system image to a flash drive using Gateways recovery program.


Now, lets pretend that I'm a complete idiot and will someone please spell out for me the process of using the flash drive to reinstall Windows 8? I seem to be missing something and its becoming very frustrating. Any help is immensely appreciated.

Proline W835G Tablet. Windows 8.1 Hard Reset

Just a word of thanks and a hint for anyone who has problems with these machines.

I tried for hours to hard reset my tablet. Nothing worked. In desperation I Googled and came up with a closed thread on this site dealing with my problem. I can't add to it to say how much I appreciate the help. If I am posting in the wrong place, please forgive a newbie.

To hard reset, first power off, then hold down the vol down button. Press the power button and hold down until a recovery screen pops up. Follow the prompts. Works like a dream.

Thanks again

Users folder disappeared

I am looking at a client's Packard Bell desktop that suffered a Windows 8.1 crash, and now it won't boot. Automatic Repair doesn't fix it. The disk is partitioned into a Packard Bell logical partition, a Data logical partition, and a Recovery logical partition. Most of the folders on the Packard Bell partition are still there (Program Files and Program Files <x86> for example), but the Users folder isn't there, and the only folder in Windows is Logs, which doesn't contain any Windows information anyway! The only folders on Data are System Recovery Information and Recycle Bin. (The files aren't in the Recycle Bin either.) Ubuntu and TestDisk cannot see those folders either. Running a chkdsk after listing the drive letters from the Command Prompt in Windows 8 Recovery found and fixed some errors, but that didn't make a difference. I am running a virus scan using a boot disk, 2 viruses were found, but 454 errors were too, and now it is going through the healing process, the 'error' files it can't find (I think because it cannot find the files!) Taking the disk out and putting it into another system probably won't make any difference either. I have Googled it, but with no luck. Any clues?

Is 8.1 good? Can I make it like Windows 7?

My mom put a computer in layaway when we went to Walmart today that has Windows 8.1.

So what I want to know is pretty simple and it's right there in the thread title. Is Windows 8.1 good? I didn't hear a lot of good things about 8. No Start button for starters. Is 8.1 the same or did they fix it? I know pretty much next to nothing about Windows 8.1.

When I find the time I'll be Googling "How to use Windows 8.1" I guess... *sighs*

However... I saw on another forum that there's a way to make Windows 8/Windows 8.1 to work like Windows 7. Is this true? If so... how do you do it? Because if there's a way to do that, I'll do it just so I'm not immediately confused by the "chaos" of Windows 8.1 I guess?

So I guess all I really need help with here is if Windows 8.1 is actually good or not and if there's a way to make Windows 8.1 like Windows 7 and if there is, how do you do it?

I would seriously appreciate any help anyone here could give me with this.

Thank you.

What I have tried

System restore has no valid restore points
Scan with IOLO System Mechanic Version 14.5 (IOLO potential cause of initial problem with registry changes??)
Scans with Kaspersky 2015
Created ISO boot disk. ISO disk obtained from Microsoft Website
When I access advanced boot options and load from ISO. When I am asked for Product Key I am told that it is not correct. I have the Product Key from third party software. The Key matches in BIOS and Registry. However secondary Product Key Finder listed a different product key.
Wrong product key? Or Wrong ISO copy?
That’s about as much as I have so far. This is beyond me and any advise would be most appreciated. Ive only had this laptop no longer than a month or so.
Kindest Regards

Possible Remote Access to my computer?

I was looking over my sys analyzer log and it looks like the remote access is running. Is someone accessing my computer somehow through my remote access? My computer also always so slow, is idling high and shuts down often because it gets hot. I can never figure out what causes this. If someone could look at the log and give me some advice, I would really appreciate it! I have pasted my computer's info below and also attached a copy of the log to this post. Thank you so much!
