Windows 7 conflicts with Vista

[z3r010]

If you press the windows key + R and get the run box up, type cmd for the command prompt.

then enter each of the following lines

cd %windir%

start unlockProtectedFeatures.exe

If the protected feature box starts, try turning it off

i can get the cmd promt up but it states it cant find ''unlockprotectedfeatures.exe''
is there any other commands that might clear the mistake..??

 

[z3r010]

Was the command run in the windows dir?

i.e. c:\windows\

Also if you can see your win7 drive from vista check that unlockProtectedFeatures.exe is still in the win7 windows directory

this is how i ran the commands....

>cd %windir%

>start unlockprotectedfeatures.exe

is this correct..?

i cannot find ''unlockprotectedfeatures'' in the W7 windows directory..while browsing through vista ??

& i cant get in to roll it back, can i start the ''system restore'' with a command.??

sorry to be a droning NUB ...

While in Vista download unlockprotectedfeatures.exe from shawns tutorial and copy it into your win7 windows directory

when you run the commands from 7 it should look something like this

unfortunately that didn't worked john....

but im sending this from W7 now, i can open any programs straight from the task manager, so there must be a way to re enable the desktop....

i tried sys restore & that wont work, seeing as i can access anything on here surly there is a way to switch the desktop back on either through an app or command...

its perfectly configured except for the desktop.

 

[z3r010]

try

cd %windir%

explorer.exe

i see the problem i have.....i cannot select ''run as admin'' on the CMD prompt in the task manager

i think im just gonna format the 2nd HDD tonight & run a fresh installation (& steer well clear of this fancy taskbar), i have learn t quite a bit from my mistakes this time around & i don't have those crappy modem drivers holding me up, & now i can configure the router from memory

.... its all good fun.

cheers for all your help john, i will be back on W7 by tomorrow night so its not that bad ....a new install is no biggie to repeat

Hello SK.

I had trouble with a a WU update today myself', it froze and I had to do a hard shutdown to clear it. I'm having no problem with the taskbar though; everything is running fine otherwise.

Sorry to hear you're having troubles.
