I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

I set up my computer a long time ago with a stupid username, and I wanna know how to change it. I can change my logon username, but not the actual username (COMPUTERNAME/Username) or the user directory (C:/Users/USERNAME).

Welcome to the forum,
I think this tutorial will help with that,
Computer Name - View and Change
I used the Control Panel's "User Accounts"/"Change an Account" to change my Username on XP Home without any problems. However, under Documents and Settings, the directory with all my settings still has the old Username. Can I just rename the directory to the new one I created and which is reflected as my Username on login, or will that create problems.
I am the administrator of the account and would not like to get locked out or cause other types of problems. Can someone who is familiar with this type of maneuver confirm that it is OK to just rename the directory or how to go about approaching this?
Thanks for any help.

Hey, anyone:I've been posting in ComputerHope's Windows and Hardware forums for a little over a year. This is my first visit to the Virus and Spyware forum. A coworker of mine turned on his PC this morning (it's a Windows 2000 SP4 system) and all of his icons, documents, favorites and IE settings were back to the default settings. He logged on with the same user account name (Jeff). He does not use a password. A look at the Control Panel applet Users and Passwords shows only Jeff, Guest and Administrator as the user accounts.We checked the Documents and Settings folder and found all of his icons, documents, etc. in the subfolders of the Jeff folder. There was a Jeff.Jeff folder with all of the default settings (however, three is no Jeff.Jeff account in Users and Passwords). He also received a message that Windows Update had finished installing files.Does anyone know of any virus that creates a new account for the user with the same name but does not delete the folder for the old account?Thanks in advance,Doc
I did some experimentation by creating a new account, deleting it, and creating another account with the same name as the old one. This created a folder in Documents and Settings with the format username.computername. The computer name for his system was the same as his user name.It looks like the virus simply deleted his user account and then recreated a new account with the same name. If anyone knows of a virus known for doing this, please let me know.Thanks,Doc
3 more repliesWhen I use Windows Explorer to go to C:\Username\Favorites\Subdirectory1\Subdirectory2, I see different content than when I go to C:\Users\U Username\Favorites\Subdirectory1\Subdirectory2.
When I open Favorites from within Internet Explorer 9, I see the content of the second case (C:\Users\U Username\Favorites\Subdirectory1\Subdirectory2).
Why do I have two sets of similar, but not identical sets of Internet Explorer Favorites Subdirectories and Favorites files?
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 SP1 and I have Admin privileges. I know IE9 is not the latest version, but that?s what my company insists we use.
Thanks for your help!
The real path is c:\users\username\favorites\......... this is the one Windows uses for everything user-specific. There is no reason why there should be a c:\username\........ folder at all. Presumably, it has been created by some user, perhaps in error, but it's not taken into account for anything. Just move its contents inside the users folder and it should merge both.
1 more replieswhile am formatting...this error is showing"windows is unable to complete the format".

Select Quick Format and format it to FAT32.
Try various other options one by one if the above does not work, like NTFS, exFAT etc.
HI,I was reading an article the other day about a chap who had spybot and other spyware software on his usb pendrive,and not on his pc i was wondering if it wasn't installed on any pc how was he running the spybot etc, on any machine to check for errors spyware without it being installed on the pc it was just on his pendrive.Puzzles me or is it me? help.Thanks daiol.
I think he probably had the installer executables on the pen drive. Then he could go to any PC with a USB port and install the program without having to download (especially if the internet connection wasn't working).I've done a similar thing with a collection of anti-malware and diagnostic programs burned to a CD.

hi i have a 4gb usb pendrive ,i want to keep all my photoes on,(about 2.5gb ) in total i have loaded all of them from my h/d onto the pendrive,but i can only view 1 gb,all the otherscome up with an error saying that i can not open them because the are in a(pcd file extension) it alos give me the oppertunity to rename them but that dose not work, i am sure they were all in "jpg" on my h/d ,so i cant figure out whtas going on.in total i have 84 folders in jpg format on my h/d,on the pendrive i have 84 folders, i can only read 22 in jpg all the rest are in (pcd).i hope someone on here can understand what im saying many thanks for reading this
this is a blind guess but it could be the 84 folders some equipment does not like too many folders. Could you start again but nest the folders inside other folders so that the drive sees a smaller no.

This issue may be repeated, and may occur to any of us
I have a USB flash drive, of 8GB
it worked fine for months,
but unfortunately, it is not working any more!
If inserted, the computer recognizes it as a flash drive, and places it in the "Safely Remove Hardware",
but if we tried to open it, it says "Insert disk in drive..."
I saw it's properties it says: Rmovable disk>>> Size 0MB !!!
where the media gone?
I tried to format it says "no disk in drive..."
I tried to fix using HP recovery, and other utilities, but it insists on, "No disk in drive"
Is there is something to do?
Please help...
This can happen when the drive is not removed properly.
Plug in the drive,then go to "my computer".
Right click the drive and click eject.
Remove the drive and restart the computer.
Try the drive again.
I have a P4 computer but its RAM is just 256 MB. If anyone knows any method to use a pendrive as a RAM, please tell it to me. Thanks in advance.
This is not recommended, not practical, and I don't think it's possible. USB Storage Devices store memory as Flash memory, which is different than the type of memory used in your RAM. They are accessed differently and have different characteristics.The main difference is that the Flash Drive retains its memory when the power is turned off, whereas the RAM is completely erased when you turn off the power.Also, if you manage to get the USB Drive working as RAM, it would be like driving a car without circular wheels. It is just too slow to be used as RAM.Can you not purchase any more RAM? It doesn't come too expensive.

It uses multipoint capacitive touch technology and not with the pressure sensitivity offered with active type pens.

i want to play movies on my LG lcd TV through Pen Drive.
plz guide me or give me software for that
thanking u
Hi,
Have you checked your tv manufacturer's website to see if your tv can play movies from just a usb flash drive as most lcd tv's don't do that if this is what you mean. The usb slot on a TV is there mainly for updates for itself, although having said that there is a few that will let you play a slideshow of pictures from it.
Have a look online at LG's website typing in your tv's make model/serial number, it will definitely tell you.

Can anyone help?
Time for a new pendrive I'm afraid... The don't last forever
Today I plugged in my flash drive, but when I tried to open it, it said "Please insert a disk into (H"
I just wanted to reinstall my Windows 10 from flash, because it became very slow, and I can format my SSD from startup when installing, and that is better way.
Model: TOSHIBA TransMemory USB Device
I do believe it has died. If the controller in the USB key can't see the memory chips (or they don't work any more) Windows reports "insert disk".
You'll have to buy a new one I'm afraid.
Hi, I have an r32 and I'm trying to boot from a pendrive to start Ubuntu. I used the Ubuntu creator to make a bootable pendrive. When I press F12 and choose "usb external drive" it boots into windows xp. So far I changed the setting allowing usb to run as "a" drive but it still boots into xp. The Ubuntu live cd boots up fine. Thanks,
Welcome to the forum!R32, like any other ThinkPad from that generation (A31/p, T30) will NOT boot from a pendrive.It WILL boot from a conventional USB CD-ROM or FDD.Hope this helps.

Hi
I got one weird problem with my new pendrive (bought 3). Cannot copy any dvd or avi file inside the pendrive (Steelmate 32gb). All data related to dvd/avi cannot be opened. I've try already with regular pendrive, evrything fine. When I bought the pendrive, seller state inside the auction page "designed exclusively for microsoft office data only". Other file like worksheet/picture/software running smooth with
the pendrive. I really think there no faulty hardware error with the drive. Maybe some kind of unlocked thing. Hope somebody can give me an idea. TQ .
I've already:
Format the pendrive
Scan for faulty
Zip the dvd/avi n move to the drive
p/s u can check the pendrive picture here:
http://www.mudah.my/Pendrive+steelmate+32gb-7111961.htm
What format is the drive?
IF it claimed to be for other OSes it might of been FAT, when you reformatted did it format FAT32 or NTFS?
Are the files larger that 4GB?
My pen drive can't be detected in any computer.

my pendrive was working in a verry good conditin with good transfrer rate,but suddenly it is not getting detected ,but other pendrives are getting detected in my system.is there anything we can do about pendrive
Have you tried it in another computer? If it doesn't work on multiple computers then its failed and simply needs to be replaced.
I was going to recommend the YUMI multiboot creator from pendrives. I know a number of people here use it but this what Norton thinks.

It show the usb is not recoginized by windows XP.... i also tried window device manager properties.It did not work...Plz help me............................
Why did you make it bootable? Have you tried reformatting it?
7 more repliesI know its been covered before however using a pendrive for a bootable drive are they faster than say a standard HDD due to the solid state memory?
Say for example i had a 4Gb pendrive and installed all the O/S and drivers onto the drive, would it boot faster than my 7200 160Gb HDD?
Or alternatively used the files and setting transfer wizard to make the drive bootable?
Surely the onboard memory of the drive has faster access speeds in a USB2 slot? Or does it have to be a USB1.1 because the drivers for the USB2 wont load at first boot?
Just being nosey really!
Nope, a USB stick isn't any faster - some new SSDs (actual hard drives) are around the same speed as a good HDD.
A bootable USB stick will be quite slow and won't last as long as it has a limit on the amount of writes. They are good for playing with Linux though
When I plug my usb pendrive into usb port computer hangs. If I go 'ctl'+'alt'+'del' it tells me prog.'MSQSRV32' not responding. only way out is to end task. After this if I go to 'device manager' the icon for pendrive has red X on it and properties tell me windows has had trouble accessing mass storage device. I am running windows 98se and processor is a pentium MMX.Does anyone out there have a fix for this problem.I have also re-installed the drivers and problem persists.
it looks like a driver problem, I have never seen anything in device manager with a red x, usually only a yellow conflict sign.What type of pendrive is it, and where did you buy it?the only thing I can think of is to run the system file checker, put the w98 cd in the drive, click start, run and type sfc and allow it to replace any corrupted files from the cd.
4 more repliesWhen I click on the pendrive icon by clicking on My Computer, it leads to My Documents instead. Pendrive can be opened only by getting exploded view from Folders.

I had purchased a Transcend Jet Flash 700 USB 3.0 16 GB Pendrive from Flipkart in mid September 2011. The pendrive is not even a year old.
Yesterday I inserted my pendrive in a friend's laptop to transfer files of around 1.5GB. The pendrive had more than 10GB free space. 70-80% of the transfer was done but then his laptop's battery drained off and the laptop obviously got shut down. Since then, whenever I insert my pendrive in any device the blue light on it blinks for around 10 seconds and then the light turns off too. The pendrive is not detected.
I have tried reading the pendrive on my friend's laptop, on my laptop and my tablet too. On each device, the pendrive's light blinks for about 10 seconds but nothing happens.
Please help, is there any way by which I can fix it?
Do you get any error message?
Does the pendrive show up in Disk Management? If so a screenshot will be helpul to give a trageted solution hopefully.
That said, if you do not have any data that you may want to recover, you may try Jetflash Online recovery

please do help...
Worst case: Your pen drive is dead. A pen drive that has gone through thousands of Read/ Write cycles can die a natural death when its flash controller decides that it had had its full run and it is no longer safe to write any data on it.(simple non-technical explanation. )
Since you have not given any details about the pen drive in question like the model/make/capacity, for how long you have been using it, whether it is still under warranty, whether other pen drives works normally on your computer,whether you had tried this pen drive on another computer and with what results, and if it shows in the Windows Disk Management how does it appear (is it RAW) etc., etc., it is not possible to give any specific suggestion to deal with that problem.
So here you go on a round-trip.
How To Fix Write Protection Errors On a USB Stick
I had got a friend's pendrive and double clicked it to open. All of a sudden my antivirus Kaspersky got disabled and my pc crashed. After restarting I got the following as my XP sp3 opened:::
A window appears with the title:
"Can't run 16 bit windows program"
Within the window it states:
"Insufficient memory to run this application. Quit one or more windows applications and then try again."
Then I could not run any system .exe files like command prompt, msconfig, etc, nor did my antivirus work(it was still disabled).I couldn't open my web browser google chrome or firefox. I am currently using IE7. Then the weirdest thing happened. I installed a game after all this happened and it worked quite fine, but as soon as I inserted my XP cd to format, my system could not detect it. Even when I inserted my Kaspersky disc it did not detect the disk, but any other disc is easily read without any trouble. Both XP and Kaspersky discs are otiginal and I am stcuk!!! Please help!!!!

If you've had it for a while it may have reached the end of it's life. There is a limit to how many times you can write to it, and a limit to how long it will retain the data that's on it.I have found the original low capacity ones to be far more reliable, I'm still using a 1GB one after 5 years daily use, whereas the 8GB one I bought didn't last more than a year. So I no longer buy them. I use external hard drives instead. They cost more initially but are more reliable and last longer so you actually save money over the longer term.

4 more repliesmy DVD drive is not detecting any cd/dvd.So I want to install XP sp2 from pendrive, please tell me the procedure for this.
Hi durgesh_mmm and welcome to TSF !
Make sure you changed the boot order priority to CD-rom first in the BIOS.
If the DVD/CD drive is really dead then the easiest solution would be to replace it or borrow a friend's for the time of the installation. If this is a laptop you can use an external DVD drive (if the laptop doesn't support booting from an USB device you won't be able to use another method anyway).
What's the brand and model of your computer or of your motherboard ? You'll need to make your USB drive bootable, have a motherboard that supports booting from USB devices and edit several files because XP isn't designed to be installed from an USB drive.

Sir, I have 4gb kingston pendrive. I want to partition it into three parts(three drives)
Is it possible if yes plz tell me how
1) Windows will not let you create or see multiple partitions on removable media. But you can do it with linux. See this page.
[SOLVED] Making multiple partitions on USB memory stick
2) Another approach is to try and turn your USB drive into a fixed disk by ‘flipping’ the removable bit in the firmware. This is the digital flag that tells Windows whether the drive is ‘fixed’ or ‘removable’. You can do this using the Lexar BootIt utility.
LEXAR JUMPDRIVE USB FORMAT TOOL - The CD Forum
Lexar tool makes creating bootable USB flash drives easy
Create separate partitions on your Corsair USB flash drive « Corsair? Blog
Let me add that the Lexar utility may or may not work on your particular drive, so use at your own risk.
3) The safest option is to buy a few cheap, low capacity drives and use them for individual purposes.

1 more repliesi everyone,i bought a pendrive 4gb a week ago n now it isn't working.
'the disk needs to be formatted' apperars upon inserting it n 'windows cannot complete formatting' appears wen i try to format it. i cannot open or explore the pendrive. it also shows zero capacity. i'm using vista home premium, RAM: 4gb and HDD: 250 gb. plz help.
I use kaspersky internet security but it does not protect my pendrive. Today I saw something called "newfolder.exe" was automatically creating folders and subfolders flawlessly but kaspersky did nothing. Actually kaspersky couldn't prevent. Also detected "autorun.inf" and asked me to do a restart. I restarted thne again same thing happened. Then I went to my friends house then I scanned my pendrive on his pc with Norton. norton detected something called trojan and immediately removed that shit from my pendrive and helped me to get trolled as I'm a kaspersky fanboy sorry I forgot to take screen shot.
How to get rid of this kind of usb virus or so?????
do note that norton deleted virus from my pendrive along with all my documents without single permission.
I am pretty sure kaspersky can scan usb drives. If you enable auto-scan when inserted in kaspersky settings it will always do it.
Maybe you have it turned off?
I just googled quickly and this is the first site i found to show how to enable it in kaspersky settings.
cheers

hoe can i go about sorting this problem out as i need my work back ASAP
hum; sad to say, it may all be lost. XP has not been kind to USB Flash drives.
The typical user error is to unplug the device without using the Safe To Remove
feature OR its brother right-click-->menu-->Eject
ALL USB Flash devices are formated FAT32 so you might try mounting it on
some other kind of system (Mac / Linux)

More repliesHello
Today, i bought myself a 512mb pendrive, i wanted to use it, windows recognized it as a removable drive without any problems, so i drag-n-dropped a file onto the drive window, but it froze at 30 percent
Ive tried rebooting but no change, the files were still freezing at 20-50 percent
Ive tried to disconnect, and then connect my pendrive, but this also didnt work
I went to a friend of mine to see if this is because of a badly manufactured pendrive, but at his place everything seems to work out ok
Now, im quite a newb to computers, so if you guys could hook me up with any solutions do this, id be very thankful
My system is winxp sp1
first i would say, get sp2 and all the updates, and you'r sure you have no bugs, i would try to copy one file using xp right click. can't get much in 512mb.but clean temps. defrag, run chkdisk, unplug it, restart, nothing else running, try again.

9 more repliesRecently i have bought a Sony MICROVAULT USM8GR USB Flash Drive.After buying i plugged it in the usb port. the Usb driver installed correctly.

I opened Disk management,but it shows that the drive is not loated.i rebooted the computer,uninstalled the universal serial ports, installed driver....but no result....plzz help!!
Hi all,
This seems like a fairly standard message - but I just can't figure it out?!
When I plug the pendrive in I can't 'see' it in my computer.
Someone has said it may be to do with the fact that I'm at work and have some network drives mapped. I've been into 'Control Panel' and then 'Admin Tools' and then 'Computer Management' and then 'Disk Management' - and then I can 'see' the pendrive is connected.
It seems to be automatically mapped to 'E:' - but then when I go back to 'My Computer' 'E:' isn't one of the drive letters being shown?!
Help please!!
Thanks - James.
The E: drive is probably one of your network drives. Are you sure it is not listed in My Computer. Network drives' letters are displayed in the end of the drives description.
Just change the USB pen's drive letter in Disk Managment to something that is definently not used.
My Hp 32gb hp pendrive not geting detected by ANY pc at all.

CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME.
Good day.
Been using True Crypt on my desktop and its working fine,I have several important medical info stored in the True crypt file.And I also have a backup of the files.
Now what I'm looking for is for some easy explanation on getting True crypt to work on my 8GB pen drive,Would that be possible on an 8GB drive or would I need a larger one,The files that I have saved on the desktop are in PDF format so maybe the 8GB would be okay?
Now is it straight forward for me to get this software on to my pen drive which a backup of the files in question are on it.
Looking for a straight forward method,Do I leave the pen drive in the FAT format or would it have to be changed?
Many Thanks In Advance.
See this:

Note: I have not done this. Read the article and you know as much as I do.
Hii Everyone,

Please suggest me something as soon as possible. I would be greatful to you people.
Hello and Welcome.
This pen drive seems like it may be infected. You might want to think about formatting it, and stop spreading what might be on it.

5 more repliesHello,I was fomat my laptop after that it was not detecting any pendrive so what can I do?
More repliesIs it possible to install XP onto a USB pendrive and boot it from there? If it is possible, how to do it?
Also, does it have any drawbacks, disadvantages? I think I read somewhere that flash drives have a maximum lifetime, which is measured in write operations performed on them. If the number of write operations exceed this number, the flash drive will eventually get unreliable.
And, given that Windows is using the pagefile almost constantly, it will ruin a flash drive in a few hours. Can any expert confirm this?
Thanks,
Jimmy
PS: A little background for those interested.
I want this because I want to separate my internet banking operations from all the rest I do with my computer. So I need a second system, which is securely away when I work or surf or play, and which, therefore, is inaccessible for any possible attacks originating from viruses or hackers. (So a 2nd partition won't do, because it's part of the system all the time.) I don't like the idea of always changing hard drives, whenever I want to do banking, so I need an external source for booting the OS. USB pendrives came to mind.
I have the Toshiba NB300 laptop and it does not let me boot the pendrive with the operating system to change it

Format it? If you want to keep the valid folder, copy it off, format the flash drive then copy it back. If it also won't format, it's probably gone faulty.
5 more repliesHello There,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-11F laptop, using XP Professional w/ SP3 on it.
It comes with 3 USB ports.
I have an older 1GB pendrive and just recently purchased a Maxell 16GB pendrive.
The pendrive works flawless at work, desktop pc but does not seem to work with the laptop.
I managed to use it only once, since then the laptop USB port simply does not recognize it.
I can tell it as the red led is not flashing and the pendrive can not be accessed.
I tried using the supplied Toshiba USB hub, no luck either
The 2 USB ports are ok as I use mouse, digital camera with it.
So is the 16GB pendrive, it works perfectly using other machines eg desktop pcs
Am I missing some USB drivers or whats the problem ?
Please help as I need to be able to use the unit on the laptop too.
Thank you!

Hello all
Please advise how to install Windows updates via pendrive.
By the way, we need to update Windows 7 on an offline deployment.
Thank you,
De Lucca
My pendrive is asked to format before using it. Even after formatting it if i copy a single song it is showing only 342 mb left. It says that this error could have been caused if you remove your device during the file is written on it.
If it's happened more than once, it's likely faulty. USB drives are cheap, disposable media that can be easily damaged or corrupted.
And yes, whenever you remove USB storage from a PC, you should use the Safely Remove hardware tool.
Dear Tech Support Representatives,
Hello. Last week I printed out some material from my USB pendrive from an internet cafe. (I do not have my own computer at home).
Later I discovered that all the folders on my USB have been changed to shortcuts, with little arrows in the lefthand corner.
I need to retrieve the data on my USB, otherwise I could just format the pendrive.
I have already run Malwarebytes, SuperAnti-Spyware, and Junk Removal Tool. However the shortcuts on my USB pendrive are still there.
Would you someone please give me step-by-stap instructions on how to convert the folders back to normal and how to remove any other malware that may have spread to my computer's registry, etc?
I will send first my Hijack This log, the the DDS (2 logs), and then the GMER.
Thank you for your help.
Courtney

how to recover it.
let me know.
is it possible to recover pendrive in its previous working state.
i made all attempts even i restarted my laptop many times
iam using windows 7 ultimate 32bit
Try this:
1. Power-off your laptop.
2. Remove AC power.
3. Remove battery.
4. Unplug your pendrive.
5. After about 10 minutes, connect your battery, AC power cord, switch on your lappy and let it settle down.
6. Plug your pendrive now.
Windows 7 hopefully will reinstall the driver and make your pendrive accessible.
This process has worked for some. I hope that it works for you too.
