Windows 10 user account deleted

$

0

I know this is going to seem stupid, but my boss decided to blow away the user account on one of our HP t620 Thin Clients  (leaving only the Administrator account) running windows 10. Now, the problem lies in the fact, that I can't recreate the user account, I can't create any accounts actually. I go into other users to create an account, click on add someone else to this pc,it throws up a black window for about .5 seconds, then the cursor turns into a thinking wheel and once I move the mouse, thinking wheel goes away. Is there any way to create a new user without having to reimage the hard drive?

 

 

 

PLease ignore this. I figured it out.


MS says that Windows 10 is not compatible with my Slimline s5710f. graphics card?

I got the message that my computers the Slimeline s5710 was not compatible with Windows 10, without explaination. I summized that it was because of the graphics card.   I have looked into graphics cards and picked up an inexpensive one that is compatible to Windows 10, but it's now appearing that the graphics card is not compatable with the computer which only has a 220 watts power supply and the graphics card needs a 300 watts.  Does HP have a fix for this so I can upgrade my computer to Windows 10?

I have vt-x turned on but win 7 doesn't identify it

I'm trying to run linux ubuntu on Virtualbox. It fails after installing successfully because virtualization technology isn't enabled. I enabled vt-x in BIOS and shutdown my pc and turned power off then started it but virtualbox didn't respond either giving me the same result:

                    smbus base address uninitialized - upgrade bios or use force_addr=0xaddr

 

I installed Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility to check virtualization technology on win 7 but was still off.

How do I change the BIOS language on HP Pavilion 550 - 132ng Desktop

Hello everyone:

 

Recently I have got this product, but BIOS language is in German and I'd like to know if it is posible to change it.

 

Note that in hp support page, in the "product release information" section says that this product has been sold in only for Austria and Germany. Maybe that's why it is not posible to change the language to another one different from German.

 

Please, let my know if itt is posible to change it, and if yes, how to do it.


Thank you in advance!

But each time the upgrade hangs at 64% and 77 % (Installing features and drivers). I then get a liuttle screen reading "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library error .

Upgrading from Windows 7 Pro (64) to Windows 10 - Drive Encryption refuses to go

$

I know a similar question has been posed before, but the answer was full of talk about "partitions", which I, as a total computer ignormaus, simply do not understand. I just want Drive Encryption for HP Protect Tools to go, so that I can complete the upgrade to Windows 10, but it simply refuses to go anywhere. I click on uninstall, and it stubbornly refuses to leave.

 

Is there a simple, straightforward answer to this that doesn't involve manipulations impossible for the total incompetent? Failing that, is there a simple, step-by-step guide to how it's done? Or am simply I doomed forever to stay with Windows 7?

Keyboard Error

My computer won't start at all. I get keyboard error... I have moved the usb keyboard, changed the keyboard, etc... If I move it to the front of the tower it does start further to a screen that says...."The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer, the restart the installation...this just loops as it reboots now.

when I did a diagnostics tests earlier it made a Windows backup so I have tried rebooting with this in the drive but nothing. I am still getting Keyboard Error and this is stopping the system going any further.

p.s the keyboard is working fine, it is plugged in the front and works fine... The other diagnostics tests said the memory, motherboard etc etc all passed...

HP envy 700-414 shutdown fails

$

Hi,

HP Envy 700-414 often fails to shutdown.

It presents the login screen instead of completing the shutdown.

It is necessary to shutdown holding the power switch or disconnecting the compouter.

After I shutdown with the power switch, normal shutdown works again for a variable time period (days).

I have tried these shutdown paths:

Windows > Power > Shutdown

Alt + F4

Alt Ctrl Delete

Is there a fix to achieve a reliable shutdown?

Thanks

Lost product key for microsoft office stuff when it became necessary to return to original software

Do to a catastrophic virus attack I had to reload all of the software that I purchased with the computer. It came with the software factory image on a hard drive partition. None of the product keys were provided with the computer when it arrived. None are shown on any of the machine tags and labels.  Now I cannot use the MS office package that I bought with the computer because I do not have the product keys. So far no one from hp or microsoft has been willing to help.

Log files show errors, but do not include any useful diagnostic material.
