Lost User from 7 home premium after upgrading to 8.1.

 I was having installer problems with windows 7 home premium. Nothing would install and the computer was just generally was getting more and more non functional. I couldn't even make a backup system image or restore from a image I had made
6 months earlier. I decided to just go ahead and install 8.1 over the 7 home premium I was having problems with. I purchased the upgrade, downloaded it and installed it. Now I have lost my user from 7 home premium. I cannot access any files that I used to
have ownership of with my "Jim" user. I seem to have a user of "[email protected]" and none of my external drives or local files will open any more. Can I insert a "Jim" user back into
8.1 and then access the unavailable files and folders. Why did 8.1 change my user name and permissions? How do I get back into my things?
My comp is a Velocity running Intel CoreI7 cpu [email protected] processor. I have 6 drives installed into it And 3 monitors on two display adapters.
Jim

Hello Jim,
Do you mean that you install the Windows 8.1?
If yes, you can't 'insert a "Jim" user back into 8.1 and then access the unavailable files and folders.', it is by design.
Do you still have the folder related to user 'Jim' in driver?
If yes and you can't access the folder, please refer to the following article about taking folder ownership in Windows 8.

Even with the Mac montior it shows no option for display until the USB is also CONNECTED. are there any solves or is this another forced official accessory Apple has decided thatI must make.

  • Re: (forte-users) Unstable server ENV after upgrade to Forte30M2.

    I see/suggest a few things:
    1) In your #1, you mention ".... development and test environments which use the
    same Forte 3M installs through links ...". This concerns me. On our UNIX box
    each environment has it's own directory containing it's own install. If your
    environments are some how sharing a node manager, log directory or processes (to
    name a few things) that is a recipe for disaster. They may be competing for
    resources and usually the first one started will win.
    2) I haven't done a lot with compatibility levels, but if an application built
    in dev is to run in test it may be important that node managers and services
    (autocompile, codegen etc.) be at the same level (????).
    3) Check the definition files, to make sure the two environments operate
    independently. If they are both trying to write to the same log file the one
    started up first will work while the second will not as the file will be "busy".
    4) We usually use rpcreate (newer version) to create brand new repositories.
    Than we export/import the source code that we need. Also it is important to
    force compile ALL plans in a workspace at least once after doing the import.
    This will ensure that all of the code is "speaking the same language". The other
    compile, only compiles those pieces of code that changed from the last compile.
    Hope this helps.

    Subject: (forte-users) Unstable server ENV after upgrade to Forte 30M2.
    We are running Forte 3M2 clients and server in our test environment with
    clients on NT and server on Solaris 2.6. Eversince the upgrade from 3L to 3M
    we have been having an unstable environment that does not remain alive for >
    10 mins. These are the details of the Forte installs and server setups :
    1. The server hosts the development and test environments which use the same
    Forte 3M installs through links (same ftcmd, ftexec, nodemgr, etc.). The
    environments are at compatibility levels 0 and 1 respectively.
    2. The two environments have the same definition files (defining the ENV
    variables), though seperate copies and the two environments are hosted on
    different ports on the same server.
    3. While building the new 3M environmnets in DEV and TST, we exported the
    old 3L repositories and imported them into the new 3M repositories and
    deployed the applications.
    While the DEV environment is stable the TST environment is not. This has
    been observed while moving plans between the environments (export and
    import) using fscript commands, deploying the apps after the move using
    fscript, and testing the apps. Sometimes it has come down right after a
    startup. There is no programatic reference to the environment agent in the
    code. So, a programatic shutdown is ruled out.
    Does anybody have a clue or a similar experience ?
    Thanks.

    We found a solution to our issue.Their desktops were in a lockdown environment and the essbase.id file located in the windows directory was locked as well. This file is responsible for assigning ports etc and it couldn't be updated for the 6.5.4p2 upgrade. Once the file was deleted and the user reconnected to Essbase, the essbase.id was reset and they could connect.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

    why the maintainers dont test the pkgs (especialy the gtk app) before the refresh of the source mirrors? this is terrible boring...

    JGC wrote:Update from an up-to-date mirror? The current version of kde-common is 3.5.4-2. As a workaround, you could go to the KDE font preferences, disable AA, apply and enable AA after that, it should work with non-KDE apps then too again.
    i change the fonts style on the kcontrol to defaults and after that i set on the gtk-engine to (use my kde fonts in gtk app) and i restart the applications...now seems to be ok... thx

    Did you do an erase and install of Mt Lion? In any case you'll have to reinstall iWeb from its original source.  Did iWeb come with your computer?  If so you should have a couple of disks that came with your Mac and one of them will have the Bundled Software Install package on it.  Like one of these:
    Be sure to update iWeb to the latest and last version, 3.0.4, from Apple Downloads web page.

  • Anyone have the Windows 7 Home Premium x32 upgrade disc

    Hi.  I have an upgrade disc....but I have the incorrect one for my system.   It is an upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium x64.   I need Windows 7 Home Premium x32 upgrade.    I'm hoping to find someone with the proper disc for my system.  Lenovo said that's the only way I can upgrade now that the program has ended.  Anyone out there still have an upgrade disc? I will pay for mailing and live in GA.  If someone else missed the upgrade prgram and can use the disc I have let me know.

    I have an HPm8100e CTO, M2N68LA Narra2 board. You have the Narra3 board. The in-place upgrade (abeit it was Ultimate) was successfully completed. The only hick-ups were re-install of a few games, and new printer drivers. (I had 2 printers on that machine).
