Thank you. I kind of figured that, but wanted to make sure.

I have a question, I do not know if this is possible and I haven't really been able to find any results on the web to answer. I had a corrupted XP installation. Tried to repair disk, boot, recover registry, no go. (The pc would not boot at all.) Tried to repair existing installation, no go...

Thank you for your help in any case. Just to resolve this thread, I ended up having to restore to an earlier time which did revert everything.

ok, here's one that I have never seen before - One day after web browsing I started getting security messages from internet security about PC related pgms. For example, a warning would come up saying my internet security settings would not allow a file (etc) to open. This included things like...

Sigh, that's what I thought, but I appreciate your taking the time to confirm it. Win 7 is definitely a step in the right direction but still has its quirks. I am willing to live with it.

Hi. I clean installed Win 7 Ult 64X and I have a few tweak questions - I will start with the easiest one: I don't really shut my machine down that often, but then because of updates I had to and I started noticing it was hanging on the shutdown process. It didn't matter if it was a restart or...

Thank you, this is valuable to know. I'm gonna try this out.

Hi guys, I just have a question, don't know if it is possible or not. Is there a "tuneup" program available that actually does tune up your pc including reg, files, etc? I have seen too many scams in this area, but the fact is that after installing and reinstalling and using pgms and getting...

Thanks guys and sorry it took so long to get back. I solved the problem - one of the memory slots was fried and with the memory plugged in on both slots, was causing (for some reason) the above problems. When I finally determined that it was the slot, I simply took out the chip from the bad...

Thanks, Terry. I tried this but still no screen showing. Should I be supsecting the mobo right about now? Or could it be something else?

Ok, this one has got me stumped. Anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. My girl has a Dell Dimension 2400. Someone replaced all the RAM (RAM type and size is correct for mobo, etc and I doublechecked to make sure seated, cleaned, etc) and right after that the graphics...

Thanks, Terry, I appreciate it. I didn't know W7 was that good! Saphire

Hi guys, I have dual boot Vista/XP Pro on same drive. I am going to upgrade Vista to W7. Still want to keep XP. I've backed up all my files on XP and Vista. Now ready to upgrade and want to make sure before I go that sequence is correct: 1. copy 3 XP "boot" files to external drive, just in...

Cool! Thank you. saphire 199

OK, thought I would venture on this one and see if anyone has any info on this. I originally had a Vista Premium pc, I dual booted to XP Pro. I find I use the XP more than the Vista as I am always doing alot of photos, digital editing, blu-ray, etc. and have had more success with less problems...

Well, to answer you on why I asked - I used iReboot before I installed HnS - I really liked the idea of a radio button that immediately boots your computer into whatever OS you want. Otherwise, you have to restart and choose, waiting for timeout in either Easy BCD or HnS to choose the OS you...

Just a quick question - Can iReboot now be used with HnS? I tried looking thru the iReboot threads, but didn't see anything specific on this (and I could have missed it also if it was there). Your comment above made me think that maybe this was now possible. I am using build 61 of HnS. Thanks...

Yeah, I just followed Terry's advice. Using Vista HnS, removed XP entry from EasyBCD, set timeout to 0 and I'm good to go. Thanks again. Saphire199

Yup, that worked. Thank you very much. Saphire199

OK, I wish I had read the above additions to the thread before i did what i did. I had HnS installed, but changed the default in Easy BCD to XP. with a 0 timeout. Now I cannot boot into anything, as when I tried to repair the startup, it just got rid of HnS and left me with a zero timeout BCD...
