Using run line - "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 53 views
Hi all, I got a laptop yesterday with Windows 7 64 bit. I wanted to change the default installation directory from C (my SSD with limited storage) to a larger drive (F). I ran regedit and followed steps <a href="http://www.intowindows.com/change-default-installation-directory-in-windows-7-vista/" target="_blank"> HERE</a>. That didn't seem to work. I recently tried running regedit again and got the error message "C:Windowsregedit.exe The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." If I try to run rstrui.exe, the same error message appears. It seems like I can't use any run line commands without this error message. I'm also no …

Opening "chkupd"
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 44 views
As soon as Windows displays my desktop (and before all the icons are in place), I get a window asking me to choose which program to open "chkupd." Note: it is not called "chkupd.exe," but just "chkupd." I ran a search looking for any files with "chkupd" in the name and Search found none in my entire computer (I had set my settings to allow searching hidden files and folders.). What does this mean? Which program should open this file? View this thread

I had two calls frorm someone that indicated they were from Microsoft, they wanted to access my computer due to a problem. They indicated their Microsoft Helpdesk was in California but the tl: number was from NY ((917) 512 2926. They indicated my IP address was sending errors to Microsoft and my computer would crash soon if I didn't get help. They ask to look at my computer: Click, Start,, right click Computer, click Manager, click Event viewer, Custom Views, Adminstrative Events: then I see 505 events Errors & Warnings. Are these crash problems and does Microsoft make these calls? Thank you View the thread

Will Windows 7 continue run with Windows 8?? If so, for how long? Like the other poster, I like this OS a lot and until Windows 8 ticks all my boxes, I am loath to switch. If I could get an answer to that question, then I could make my mind up one way or the other. Many thanks in advance Charles Stewart UK View the thread

What does the library default save location actually do?
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 42 views
From Help it looks like it saves the library location to a location within the library which in turn is saved in the library and so on and so on. For instance, the "Documents" library contains (among others) "My Documents" which I've chosen as the default save location, therefore, the library, "Documents" is saved in "My Documents". Just silly. After reading some of the questions on this subject, it looks like it does something else. So what does this default save location actually do? Please be detailed as it makes no sense to me yet. P.S. Okay to have a good laugh at my expense on this one. Or.... (I did some more research) ... does this allow m…

FTP job failing, Remote desktop disconnect, XP Pro
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies

Windows XP professional SP3, VB6 Application using WinInet FTP, Window 7 remoting to XP pro. I have been having problems with one of my VB jobs. It has been running fine for years and now it is failing because it is downloading only partial files FTP. It appears to have begun failing after May 22, 2012. One symptom that I can duplicate is that when the FTP job is trying to run it knocks me off my remote desktop connection. Sometimes the FTP download works, sometimes the files are truncated.
