If it does some scaling you don't want then delete the rows setting width / height.

AutoCAD Student Download Compatible?

In my studies, I use AutoCAD and various other AutoDesk programs religiously.
Before I purchase Windows 7 (which I am dying to do) I need to know if my current downloads will still be effective? I currently have Windows Vista and the 2010 version of AutoCAD.
Would it help to save these programs to an external hard drive and then install Windows 7?

Please let me know any solutions or answers.

AVG Technologies ScriptHelperApi Class Add-on

I have this add-on in IE 11 on Windows 8.1 and I am wondering if it is needed and how to remove it.
I had already removed the AVG Toolbar Add-On but this thing is something I can not seem to remove.

It is from (AVG Technologies) and the Add-On is called (ScriptHelperApi Class).
It is located under (Toolbars and Extensions) when you select (Run Without Permission) which itself seems like it is something I do not like to see.
I do not want something to Run Without Permission if I do not even know if it is needed and from something
that I did not want installed in the first place.
The AVG Toolbars got installed by mistake on my part and I think this was installed at the same time based on the install date listed for it.
In fact I know it was installed at the same time.

Does anyone know how to remove it? All I have been able to do is Disable it.
I tried the Removal Tool from AVG and it only removed the Tool Bars.
It left this Add-On.
I have searched everywhere and I can not seem to find a why to get rid of it.
Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Manually editing the Windows registry

Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, please do not edit the Windows registry manually.

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as SmartPCFixer Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that repairing registry errors can also dramatically improve system speed and performance.

Click the Start button.
Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
Click Yes.
A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
Type "regedit" and hit ENTER.
In the Registry Editor, select the Error 0x9C-related key (eg. Windows Operating System) you want to back up.
From the File menu, choose Export.
In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the Windows Operating System backup key.
In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as "Windows Operating System Backup".
In the Export Range box, be sure that "Selected branch" is selected.
Click Save.
The file is then saved with a .reg file extension.
You now have a backup of your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION-related registry entry.

The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system. If you would like to learn more about manual registry editing, please see the links below.

backup to 2 drives at the same time with Vista 64

digitalimages1,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

No, it is not possible to back up to two different hard drives at the same time. Unless they were setup in a RAID array which mirrored the drives, in which case, that would be automatic.

Thank you,

Backup failed due to skipped files already existing on external drive. [Solved]

Backup failed due to skipped files already existing on external drive.

I am trying to do a system backup to an external drive with windows 7.
It runs but at the end I get a message that it did not complete the backup because there were already files (pictures, music files) that are existing on the external drive already that
the backup skipped presumably cause they were there).
Does that mean the backup failed all together and I won't be able to do a restore in the future, or that just the skipped files won't be restored? What can I do to fix this?

Hi Maxio,
This error is usually caused when a backup from a 3rd party backup solution is also running at the same time.
Make sure that you don't have a backup configured through the Windows native backup and also that you don't have any other 3rd party backup software configured which may cause conflicts with Backup Assist.
I would also suggest you to run check disk.
1.         Click Start, and then Run.

2.         In Open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

3.         Use one of the following procedures:
o          To run Chkdsk in read-only mode, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

o          To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/f, and then press ENTER.
o          To repair errors, locate bad sectors, and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/r, and then press ENTER

Hi DavidButcher,

Do you receive any error message when the backup process stops? Do you have any third party backup software installed? Did you make any software or hardware changes on the computer prior to this issue?

You may configure the computer in clean boot and then try to perform backup.
It will start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs and helps to eliminate software conflicts.
The following link has steps showing how to perform clean boot:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: Please ensure that the computer is set to start as usual by following the step 7 from the article: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Hope the information helps.
Please post back and let us know.

Cleaning your computer, components, and peripherals help keep everything in good working condition and helps prevent germs from spreading. You can't image how dirty the inside of your computer case can get. All the dust and dirt is going to prevent proper air flow and may even prevent the fan from working.

This is what I would recommend doing: Keep the account that is working, and make it an Admin from the other account (you always need to have an admin account, and the default is standard). Go to the new account and close the old account from where you
created the new one. Tell it to save your files. The old account will be deleted, but the files (documents, photos, videos, IE favorites, music) will be put in a folder on the desktop in the new account. Move them to where you want them, and leave the AppData
folder alone with the new files. It is quite possibly one of the files in the old AppData causing this. You will need to re-customize the trackpad, cursor (if you changed it), lock screen, colors, etc., but that shouldn't be too hard.

Backup - Windows 7 problem partially solved, but where are my files?

I had a problem with not being able to complete a backup on a new laptop (Windows 7).
The solution of not including libraries in the backup seems to have worked.
The backup was finally completed.
However, there's no way to ensure that I've got all my specific
library files included because you can't view the files you've backed up.
You can only restore them.
Here's what I excluded: Data files/admin's libraries      and also
c:/public/libraries         I DID include all of my folders such as c:/public/pictures,    c:/public/music, etc.
so I assume they are present.
However, it would be nice to know for sure.
Windows 7 Explorer only lets you see certain areas and
it's quite frustrating!
My question : Did I need to exclude
c:/public/libraries    or was it just data files/admin's libraries that I was supposed to exclude in the backup?

Thanks for any help.
