There was a previous message that was sent before I finished. What I want
to know is do I have to have the Vista that came with the computer to do
this, or can I use the Vista from another computer, since my daughter forgot
to bring home the software when she brought home the computer at Christmas
time (distance is between us)? Or, is it necessary to have her mail me the
CD or DVD that came with this computer (I would rather not have it go
through the mail for obvious reasons unless absolutely necessary).
Problems, Problems!!

Given the mess you have now, my best idea is to do a Repair Installation
of Windows. I do *not* mean a System Recovery, which would wipe everything
out (though that might end up being necessary, sadly).

This requires an operating system DVD. You boot to it, and at the
appropriate time, tell the installer that you wish to do a repair
installation. This, if done right, will leave your other programs and your
data files intact.

I won't try to detail this. It's confusing to me, because there are two
unrelated reinstallation procedures that you get to in a similar fashion,
and I haven't done it in a long time. I also (obviously) don't want to do
it on my system to remind myself...

Maybe instructions are available in the help files on your computer or at
the MS site. But the help files are confusing for the same reason I
mentioned above. There are two installation variants where you need to
press R at the psychological moment, but that moment tends (to me) to look
right but be wrong, so read and reread...

This was going to be my daughter's computer, but she decided on another one,
now it is going to be Dad's computer (he is not very computer literate so I
must take care of the problems). She forgot to bring the software that came
with the computer. It will be a while before we see her (distance). I do
have vista from my computer. Can it be used for something like this?

That depends. (Don't you hate that?).

If the DVD is an OEM DVD, you can't use it to reinstall on the laptop.
I'm not sure about Repair. Even if it's allowed, some of the laptop's
drivers might not be on the disc.

If you don't have the product code, the same as I said above.

If the version of Windows is different from the laptop's existing
version, it's probably not of use to you.

Typically the product code is on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop
case. It looks like Z1Y3X-A2B3C-22PQ7-M0N59-DE20G (which I made up as
an illustration; if it works, I must be psychic).

Can she send the software by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or carrier pigeon?

Yes, Bob, I ran System Restore in Safe Mode:

I can go inside properties, now but the problem is not fixed.
It has the previous (C) Drive name showing in "locations." But, keep in mind
that the actual (C) Drive name is the current name, and it will not change.
Also, when you change the (C) Drive name, it should show up as the
"Document" folder. Well, the "Document" folder is showing the previous (C)
Drive name.

So, I have:
(C) Drive locations=Previous name
Document Folder=Previous name
(C) Drive=current name (cannot change)

Is there something I need to do in locations to make the (C) Drive name
coincide with the the rest?

Here is where you go to look at the items below:
1) Go to start menu/computer/properties (accessed by right clicking on (C)
drive)/security, what is the names in the Group and Users' box?
2) Go to start menu/documents (look at tree list, what is the "document"
folder called?)
3) Go to start menu/computer (what is the (C) drive named?)

So, I have:
1. (C) Drive locations=Previous name, I named it once and then changed
the name.
2. Document Folder=Previous name, When you rename the (C) drive the

3. (C) Drive=current name (cannot change)

Okay, in looking at another laptop in the area of (C) Drive properties and
in locations, I saw that a file called "System" was there. So, I added a
file called "System" in the computer that had problems. It located it and
added the file. I was then able to change the name of (C) Drive. I know
that I deleted something accidentally and maybe that was the file I deleted.
However, when windows trys to update, it goes on for an hour and I end up
turning it off the computer. I don't think it should take more than an hour
if it is working. How can fix this problem?

Well, why didn't someone tell me there is no disk anymore for the Toshiba
computer? I finally called the Toshiba support, it was still under
warranty. They had me do system recover (not system restore). This
computer did not have a CD to go with it. Evidentally you don't need one.
The problem is resloved. Thanks

In addition to what I said below, I cannot go into any of the system
functions. I get the message and that is it.

Sorry if I seemed unclear as to what I did. It probably is because
I am not sure what I did. I am beginning to think that the files I
deleted were in system.

Anyway, to answer your question: Yes, it does boot up with the
error message there. I can shut down the error message and open
say "Word" and save a file. I am writing this email using the
computer. However, I cannot rename (C) drive, it just will not
change. I cannot go to system/advance settings, it displays the
message and then hangs.

I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Help, I changed the name of (C) drive and the network computer
names did not reflect it so I went back in and when the computer
said if you do this your owner of the HD. I pressed the button
and now I can't even receive windows updates. The following
error message appears on bootup also (shown below). I have no
idea how to reverse this. I may have deleted the files names to
remove them thinking they would be in deleted items. But they
were not there. This is in Windows Vista Can anyone help me???

Sincerely,
Toooooooooooooo Snoopy on my computer!!

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You
may not have the appropriate permission to access this item.

c:\Windows\system32\systempropertiesComputerName.e xe

I just reread your post, sort of by accident. I realize it's not
what I was thinking. Or maybe it is.

Something on startup is trying to access that program and it's
failing. Either you lost that file, or you did change the drive
letter.

Tell us this: other than that message and the update problems, do
you boot successfully?
