  1. Windows install created an extra incorrect user when installing


    Windows hung when installing and created these users:


    C:\Users\17203


    C:\Users\Adam

    Adam only has one folder AppData, with subfolders ending with TextHarvester.dat


    17203 has all of the correct stuff, but I have no idea what this is. I believe I should only have Adam and Public


    I need to rename or merge these users somehow.


    I tried to reinstall windows but it did not fix the issues. I tried to copy all of the files from 17203 to Adam but it would not paste. I tried renaming the user by logging into the hidden admin account, but that just cause it to fail to sign in and created temp users. very odd.


    Any help with this would be much appreciated!

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
