WHAT IS?NTLDR

Hello!NTLDR stands for New Technology Loader. It is a critical boot file in Windows. You may have gotten a message that says "NTLDR is corrupt or missing". If so, Windows will not boot until you do a repair with a Windows CD.If you are wondering if this file is a virus or can be deleted to save space, absolutely do not remove it.Hope this helps!

Logon Change

Enable Log-On Screen

Windows, by default, is set to show the Welcome screen during startup.

To enable the log-on screen to show, go to "Start" menu and select "Control Panel".

In the control panel, click on "User Accounts".

In the "User Accounts" dialog-box, click "Change the way users log on or off" and uncheck the "Welcome Screen" option.

Click "Apply Options" to save the changes.

Change Log-On Screen Background Color

To change the log-on screen background color, go to the "Start" menu and click on "Run".

In the run dialog-box, type "mspaint" as the name of the program to "Open".

Click on "OK". In the "Paint" window that opens, select "Colors" from the main menu and click on "Edit Colors". In the "Edit Colors" dialog-box, select "Define custom colors".

Here pick the color of your choice and note down the "Red", "Green" and "Blue" values.

Write down these values somewhere.

Click "Cancel" and close the paint window without saving. Now, go to the "Start" menu, click "Run" and enter "regedit" as the name of the program to "Open".

In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\CONTROL PANEL\COLORS and double-click the "Background" string.

In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP and double-click the string "Wallpaper". In the "Edit String" dialog-box that opens up, enter the full path and filename of the image that you want to use as the background. The image must be in .bmp format.

How to remove admin password if we forgot it

Usually, we can reset Windows admin password in two traditional ways. The first is to change Windows password with another admin account; the second is to recover the previous password with the windows password reset disk that had been created before you forgot the password. Take Windows XP for example, At the Windows XP login prompt when the password is entered incorrectly click the reset button in the login failed window. Insert the password reset diskette into the computer and click Next. If the correct diskette Windows XP will open a window prompting for the new password you wish to use.
However, we offen ignore the important of security until we have been locked out of computer. Fortunately, there is still the last way that can unlock your computer without reinstalling – erase Windows password with Windows password reset CD, which can recover admin password for Windows 7/XP/Vista/NT/2000/2003…. Take Windows Password Key for example, followings are the steps to create the reset CD/DVD.
1.Login to a computer that can link to Internet. Download windows Password key and install it on that PC. Note that: there is a .ISO file. Burn the .ISO file to a CD or a USB flash drive.
2. Insert the newly created CD/USB drive to the locked computer.

3. Reboot the locked computer and press'F2'or'Delete'to enter your BIOS setup and then followed the process of instructions. Just a few steps, the old password was removed.

Hi. I was given a computer with a dead HDD. I

The best advice anyone can give you is to contact Microsoft at:

http://www.microsoft.com

If you have a valid license, Microsoft should provide you with a legal copy of the OS. No one at FIXYA is going to provide you with a copy of a Microsoft OS, because that would constitute piracy. Contact Microsoft directly and we can all avoid the legal problems of engaging in criminal activity.

Good luck; please let us know how this turns out.

WMI has encountered a problem and needs to close.

This is not unusual, Sometimes the software encounters a order that it cannot follow and looks into its error data and sends this message. It maybe a problem downloading an update from Windows, it could be a virus encounter, it could be malware ( Advertisers hijacking your desktop). If it occurs often, then you need to clean somethings out. See: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpperformance/thread/bb4e514d-9afc-41ba-b926-366d2da5e65e
