| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error Oh God!!......sorry I also have an Acer that came with XP and qualified for the "free" VistaPremiumUpgrade and had a slight Vista problem with it.I finally just got pissed off and redid the damn thing. If you can still access the OS I would suggest you save all of your work and then do a Restore to when 1st bought. Might I also suggest what I did...I went and bought an External Hard Drive and Enclosure that connects via USB and the Program Acronis True Image. With it I created an Emergency Boot Disk and then Imaged the Acer HD to the External HD. I do this about every 3 days. The Boot disk will start the system running Acronis and from there you can restore the Image back to the original HD. The program will also Image to DVD ....or back up incrementally to DVD. This has ...so far...saved my bacon once. I wish you luck..but if it was me I'd wipe it and reinstall peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error Peter I do that the 6 disc backup of the original settings. I was having a problem about a month ago, and took the laptop to where I bought it and they got it to work and then burnt me the backup disc's. That's what I thought I might have to do, good thing I don't have too much installed on it because I was waiting to get a bigger hard drive ( it came with only a 80GB) the only thing is I will have to uninstalled that pesky Norton Internet security program, I hate that program, uses too much resources. I use Acronis on my pc and love it, it has helped me too, but I don't backup like you do, maybe once a month, I have my hard drive partitioned into 4 drives.

| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error Most people seem to hate Norton for the resource hog it is.. ..I have BitDefender on one System..Kapersky on another but for the 2 laptops I just use AVG...its free. And I still like Zone Alarm and use it on all 4 systems. I have 4 external HD...one for each system.All imaged with Acronis...I have True Image loaded on every computer and use it often... The Acer laptop has a recovery Partition....Is it still on your HD?? I know there is a F.? to push at startup to activate that recovery partition.......I would look it up for you but the Laptop and manual is in another town at the present time. peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error My acer has Empowering Techonology program which has 4-5 utilities one is called eRecovery Management. You click on that to either backup or to restore, is that what you mean? The hard drive has a c drive called Acer a D drive called data and another part that I found out from the tech is part of the c drive partition where windows is installed, it's a section saved only for the windows files, is that what your talking about? Mine is called PQService Debbie

| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error Hi That's what I was talking about.......the Empowering Technology/eRecovery part lets you reinstall just the Operating system. The "other" part of the Hard drive is the "recovery" partition where all of the programs that came with the Acer are located...the eRecovery program accesses that partition and reinstalls from that partition. Just to clarify this : you have one Hard Drive divided into 3 partitions...C......D........and the Recovery Partition. You should never safe or install any thing to that "Recovery Partition" I would take you thru this step by step but like I said My Acer is in another town ...and I wont be home for another 5 days. If you read all of the prompts before clicking and take your time you will be fine...if you run into a problem you have my email peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error Yes the drive is partition into a C called Acer then a D called Data and then this one called PQService, I imagine that is the one your talking about. Okay mine has this: Restore system to factory default, or recover system from CD\DVD, or Reinstall applications/drivers. I would pick the restore system to factory default?

| Guest | Re: okay asking again services error Okay one more question, will that remove my applications I already have installed? So I know to save or mark down which ones I had installed on there so I can reinstall them. Debbie / "peter" <peterk@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FACD4A3D-9D80-4B1E-A426-950F0C3C6A94@xxxxxx
