Windows 7 Home premium corrupted

I am using an HP Pavillion dv 6-6165 tx laptop.
The windows 7 home premium Os got corrupted and I had to install a trial version of windows to start my laptop. I dont have the recovery discs also.
Now what can I do so that I can start using the licensed version of the Windows that came with my laptop at the time of purchase?
Thanks

Yes, prathik. You can do it either way & it'll work.
No manufacturer gives installation discs nowadays.
If you want to restore to factory set OS settings, you can order recovery media from HP in your region.
But if you're not covered under warranty, they'll charge you.

Windows 7 Home Premium corrupted user profile

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and it looks like my user profile got corrupted.
I tried so far:
reboot and go to safe mode and tried to Repair Installation. It didn't work.
reboot and go to safe mode and log in. The log in failed but logged me as Default. Tried to create another user profile so I could copy my files into it. But it have no option to create another account.
While still on safe mode, tried to copy the default account as a different name. It will copy the files but it will not create a new account.
While still on safe mode, tried to create a new account on the cmd prompt, but it didn't work either.
start net user newacc newpwd
start net user newacc atcive:yes
I run out things to do! Does anyone have a clue how to fix that?? Thanks a lot.

Check that User Profile Service (ProfSvc) startup type is set to automatic. Then perform
SFC scan. If the issue persists, try the following methods (try any of the methods after moving any personal/important files to a safe location):
Method 1: Since you can logon in safe mode, go to the following directory and delete the folder Default : C:\Users\
Method 2: After logging on in safe mode, go to Start->right click Computer->click Properties. On the left pane, click Advanced System Settings. Under User Profiles, click Settings. Select Default Profile, click Delete. Restart the PC in normal mode
and then check. If it fails to solve the issue, this time, delete Default Profile as well your user account profile. Then, restart the PC in normal mode and then check.

Windows 7 Home Premium Crashes in Sleep Mode

Over the last few days my Windows 7 PC refuses to wake up from sleep mode.
My configuration is as follows:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Asus P8Z77-V-LE Plus Motherbaord (BIOS 0910)
Intel Core i7-3770
Samsung 830 SSD
Corsair Vengence RAM (16 Gbytes)
EVGA GeForce GTX660
I have not made any changes to the machine and I don't think the hardware is a problem as the system does not crash when I disable sleep mode. I try to keep my drivers current and my system clean. Virus scans using Avast, Malwarebytes (on demand)
and Microsoft's own Malicious Software Removal tool all come back clean.
Each crash is recorded in an event log entry that looks like this

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
I tried to analyze install the SDK to analyze the MiniDump files but the installation keeps failing.
My most recent mindump - the last one before I tuned off sleep mode - is here

My impression is that an analysis of the dump file will help me zero in on the fault.
hope I can get some help on this and please let me know if I left out anything
Thanks in advance.

The DMP file is inconclusive. You could run driver verifier to find the underlying issue but WPR is often easier.
In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If you problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry) Please configure your as per the below snip
Click Start
It will reboot 3 t imes and record the data to a file and tell you its name and location.
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.
These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)

Sync problem itunes 11.1.5.5 iphone 5 Version 7.1 (11D167) Windows 7 Home premium Outlook 2010 contacts calendar

I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes. For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it. Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict. The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did. But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours. So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict.
Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes. If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
I have already tried:
     checking latest version of iPhone software
     in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
     using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
     resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
     trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete. I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data). I'm not getting any error message.
This is what I'm using:
          iPhone 5
          iTunes version 11.1.5.5
          iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
          Windows 7 Home premium
           Outlook 2010
          Asus G74SX computer
It is March 27, 2014.
Suggestions welcome. I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.

Hey Steve,
I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
Hope this helps with your issue as well.
Best
Alex

Hi Abdallah,
According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted. I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar
article.
Thanks,

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

Hp pavillion a6500f product#KQ495AA-ABA windows vista - home premium 64 bit Won't boot

Hi - I cannot boot my desktop hp pavillion. error message says put in an installation disk - don't have. and also says file 32/boot missing or corrupt. tried recovery group of three disks but doesn't do a thing???? Don't want to loose data what is best route to take? thanks

Hi xbill,
What is the exact message you have?
So far I understand you have a corrupted windows vista with an error message mentioning a missing or corrupted somthing32 file.
Your data should not be impacted at the moment (based on what you wrote).
What you may want to do at the moment is get a windows vista home premium 64 as it may be used to recover the missing/corrupted file(s).
An external hard drive to backup your files and finally a bootable CD to allow you to start your machine to backup your files.
But the first thing we need before we go any further is the exact error message.
Cheers,

Windows 7 Home Premium - cannot log on to user's account (immediate logout).

I cannot logon to my Windows 7 Home Premium user account. The system says "Welcome" for some short time and then immediately logs me out.
I have found the following warning in system logs:
The Windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name: . Command line parameters: c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe.
I have found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929825 but it didn't solve my problem. Userinit and Shell registry keys are correct, and I still cannot log on using account that has no administrative permissions. I've also tried to create another
user - with no effect. What can I do?
(Sorry for my English, I'm still learning it.)

Hi,
The logon process is initiated by a file called userinit.exe which is located in System32 directory.
If it gets corrupted or it gets deleted, the user will not be able to logon.
Since you have checked the registry and it is right. Then try to copy this file to your System32 directory for test.
Please firstly log on into with administrative permissions, and then run virus scan.
Microsoft Safety Scanner
http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
And then copy this file userinit.exe from C:/windows/system3 from a normally booting PC or from your install CD.
Paste it in the affected PC in the same path.
Also check if the issue occur in safe mode.
Hope this helps,

Unable to boot Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit dv6

Hello,
I have a HP dv6 that I force shutdown. Upon reboot, it asks me to do a Windows diagnostic and if I select that option, all I see is a blue screen (not the blue screen of death) and nothing else happens.
No progress bar, nothing...a DOS window did appear and disappear in a flash at the beginning.
Now, I had installed Ubuntu (through wubi, I think), and if I choose that OS, it boots up just fine. I can even see my Windows folders, files, etc., through Ubuntu file manager, though I can't copy, open of course.
Now, I have my 5 CD-R system recovery disks that I'd burned at the beginning.
I changed the boot order to CD in the BIOS, and I see the two progress bars "Windows loading files" and then the blue screen appears again and nothing else does.
Thinking my recovery disks were corrupt, I plugged disk 1 into an Acer with the same Windows 7 Home Premium OS. When I attempted to boot my Acer from the HP recovery disk, I got a nice window with a message saying that this laptop is not supported by the recovery disk and to contact HP support.
So, the recovery disks are fine.
I'm not sure what else to do.
Any help will be appreciated.

The User Profile Service service failed to Login user Profile error in Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell Inspirion 1564 Laptop which had Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
The hardware configuration is i5 core Processor, 4GB Ram , 320GB HDD and 512MB Graphics card.
Today morning, I couldn't login as the system returned the following error after I entered the password.
"The User Profile Service service failed to login.
User Profile cannot be loaded"
I couldn't login at all as i had not created any other user account, even the face recognition didn't work.
I had to restore my pc to the previous state. I believe this happened after the installation of Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - March 2010 (KB890830) update, not immeditately though as i used the system few times after the installation of this update.
Is this a bug? I cant imagine if this happens if I am about to give a presentation, its going to be disastrous!
Any help is appreciated

I'm getting the same issue - I'm the IT Manager at a school where every student has a laptop (fujitsu tablet T4410). This occurs to at least one new student every day. I have been unable to re-create the issue on demand, although I suspect it occurs when a temporary user profile gets created after the logon process takes too long (due to some disk activity, possibly related to windows updates or some thing). When we were creating student accounts on the machines, this would occur if we attempted to log in the newly created account before the computer had 'settled down' - it seems that there is a logon timeout, after which something stops working. If the new user's first logon happened too soon after booting, the profile would be corrupted. But this doesn't quite explain why it occurs seemingly randomly now.
My current solution is to boot into safe mode, back up the user's files, delete the account, create it again (the other suggested solutions on the internet did not work)
If you're desperate, you can log in while in safe mode, and use that to create a new account.
In any case, this is proving a very bad experience of Windows 7 for my students, and I hope to see a more useful fix for this soon.

Boot-up & BIOS probs - H-P Pavilion P6 2130ef - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Starting up my PC has become an exercise in frustration.. I press the start on/off button and the screen stays black - nothing happens. It's unresponsive to ESC or F11 (to try and get into Recovery manager) or Cont/Alt/Del. It's only by pressing the on/off button at regular intervals that enables me to eventually get to the stage where I can enter my password.
This afternoon I did a Malwarebytescan and also a Disk Clean-up.. Thought I'd fixed it but still the same problem.
When I first got the PC I didn't make a back-up copy of the boot-up as I was waiting for a WD external hard drive - thinking what can go wrong with a new PC..? ☺
I think my BIOS must be corrupted somehow. Is it possible to download a new BIOS?
It's an H-P Pavilion P6-2130ef and I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Satellite L750-1WW - OEM Windows 7 home premium reinstall

Hello,
a few days ago I bought an used (about 3 years old) Toshiba Satellite L750-1WW notebook.
The only matter with it is, that it has Windows 7 Professional, and of course corrupted, but the original OS was Home Premium. This laptop will be my mother's, and I don't want (and she also) to get messages every startup: "This copy of Windows is not genuine" and other stuff.
Another thing: there is no recovery partition! I couldn't make a simple system recovery...
However there's a Product key for Win7 HP 64bit on the bottom of the PC, it does not work on any kind of Windows 7 (Home Premium -Ultimate - Professinal, 32-64 bit), I have tried every possibilities.
I asked Microsoft Community to give me help about reinstalling the original operating system.
They told me to tell my problem to Toshiba, because only the manufacturer can reactivate the system, or reinstall the original OS.
So now, I ask You for some help.
Greetings,
Csaba

I don't know where you have bought this notebook but I know, for instance, that many people who sold notebooks on the eBay write in description that notebook has preinstalled other Windows version but notebook has valid product key that can be used for any Windows activation.
Fact is that this information is wrong.
Every Toshiba notebook offered with preinstalled OS has Microsoft sticker at the bottom side but product key on it belongs to original version delivered with the notebook. With other words: this product key s useless.
If I understand you right you have non-activated OS version preinstalled on this machine but also you don't have original recovery installation disc.
Now you have two options:
1/ To order original recovery disc (link posted by Tonny)
2/ To install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc and pay for valid licence.
In my opinion option to buy recovery disc is best for you. Using this disc in 2 hours you will have perfectly installed OS that will be activated and you will not have any problems anymore.
After clean OS installation all you must do is to optimize it and configure for usage. Thats all.
