I recommend a blow torch and some gasoline.

I’m trying to back up a Vista computer. However, it’s starting to crash and numerous services cannot be accessed. Because Task Scheduler can’t start, the backup and restore program won’t let me backup. Is there another program (not downloaded from internet) that can do the same or is there a way I can manually back it up? And is there anything I can avoid backing up to prevent the crashing again?

Without seeing what happens when you try different things it’s going to be hard to be precise. If your computer is a desktop pc then you can try putting another harddrive with vista installed on it into your computer and booting from that partition. If you can do that and vista recognizes the breaking Harddrive, copy everything off that harddrive onto the new one.
Otherwise you just need to buy an external, plug it in and copy all of the files you want to keep off. If you have a spare internal HDD that you can use that would work as well.
If windows doesn’t let you use usb devices, won’t recognize the new harddrive you put in (or you don’t have one) then you could try networking your pc to someone else’s and then transferring files over that way.
After you have your data off the pc, then you just need to format it. If this doesn’t solve the problem its most likely a hardware problem and i can’t even begin to guess what would be causing that without having more detail.
Hope this was helpful

Just try, from time to time, to disable the LAN, and enable it.

It works for me.

I have 8 years IT experience and would like to start a small part time repair business to make some spare money. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting it started? A couple specific things I would like to know about are:

1. How should I market my business in a small town of about 8,000 people.

2. What do I need to do as far as taxes go? I plan on making no more than $5,000 per year

3. Any other suggestions?

Buy a magnetic sign for the door of your car and start working. Put up flyers at grocery stores. The IRS will figure out your tax. No city tax if you make less than $30,000. You can call the City Treasurer to confirm and they will give you advice about any permits or places you must register.
Do a great job and charge less than Geek Squad..

Hi, I recently sent out my laptop for repair to Acer in Temple, TX. It is still under warranty fortunately. I found an 800 number in the manual and waited and waited and never got a live person so I went online and filled out the form there.
They promise a 2-9 day turn around on repairs. Has anyone else had any warranty repairs done by Acer and if so did they fix it properly first time and were you happy with the service they provided under the warranty period?

I have never had the kind of problem you have. I have always gotten a response online from someone and I have never had to send mine in for repair.

i want to get some repairs and upgrades done to my laptop computer in the future but i want to do that at a business or agency that specializes in repairing and upgrading only gateway computers and that is duly authorized by the gateway company to do so and i live in culver city, california; u.s.a and i don’t want to go too far to find what i am looking for.

My computer doesent start up any of my services that are set to automatic. Can I change something im my running system to make them start up? Also every time i start up my computer it automatically logs me into administrator even you know i have a password on the account. Also how can I change that It will stop at the login screen?

Have you looked in the event logs to see if the services attempted to start and failed for some reason or are there no entries at all.

You can set the redundancy on any service in windows to restart the service up to 3x in the event it does not load properly initially on the Recovery tab.
