Respected Sir,
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits but when I try to take backup following error message was displayed:
The backup application could not start due to an internal error:

The service cannot be started,either because it is disabled or because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.(0x80070422).

Block Level Backup Engine Service also be not running when I try to run this service manually following error message was displayed :

Windows could not start the Block Level Backup Engine Service service on Local Computer.
Error 0x800700b7: Cannot create a file when that file already exits.

I already reinstall the operating system, run under safe mode and clean boot by using msconfig, run scf/scannow under command prompt but the problem not solved.Provide me solution for this.

Vostro crashes with screen "flickering"

My Vostro 3450 started to present a wierd problem, that happens sporadically, about 2x a month. The whole system freezes, and the screen starts flickering like crazy, identical to this video posted in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjqMH7u_0cg

When this happens, I lost everything I was doing at that moment. I have to force the shutdown pressing the power button for some seconds and restart.

Bios is up to date (A13), all drivers are updated. Pre-boot diagnostics pass with no errors. Complete memtest passes with no problem. I'm using Windows 7 64bits.

Any idea on what is going on?

Black screen with cursor after login

I have a Dell XPS 15 running Windows 7 SP1. About a week or two ago, the laptop started taking a lot of time to go from login screen to home sceen. It would show a black screen with a movable cursor meanwhile before loading the desktop. I could fasten the process but restarting explorer.exe from the task manager. But now restarting explorer.exe doesn't solve the problem and even task manager gets unresponsive. When I could start it by restarting explorer.exe, many applications like my antivirus, audio manager, etc would not start like they're supposed to. When I boot it in safe mode, I can login just fine. The problem remains when I try to boot it normally. Running diagnostics gives error in hard drive DST Short test (ERROR CODE: 0146) Please help!

I have a Dell XPS 13 less than 6 months old.  This is one of the 720p, i7, Windows8 machines.

When I tried to power it on this morning, the dell logo flashed for about a quarter-second, then the screen went grey.  No response.
I can repeat this at will.

If I press [CTRL+ALT+DEL], I see the logo and a scrolling progress bar at the bottom of the screen.  Then I get a grey screen and nothing.

Ideas?

Internal Hard Drive Disk not found

I am having an issue with my Windows 8 Laptop. When I try to turn the computer, 1 of two things will happen. Either it will come up with the Dell logo, then a black screen and stay black. Or, it will show the Dell logo then show a screen stating Internal Hard Drive Disk not found. Every once in a while, it will allow me to access my start screen and desktop for around 15 minutes. Then all processes will pause, then proceeding to show a blue screen with Your PC has encountered an error and needs to restart. It then restarts and does one of the earlier problems. If anyone can help me please do.

Thanks!

I own a Dell Inspiron 1300 running the default OS of Windows XP. My laptop is taking much longer to boot, Avast Free Security refuses to work and I am having severe performance issues. When I log on, I get an error window declaring that I need to reinstall TraceAPI.DLL. I have looked online but I found nothing relevant. How would I go about  finding a copy of this and fixing my laptop? I can get a screenshot of the error window if needed.

Windows License

I bought a 14R for my son on 2010-10-30 from Best Buy.  Within the one year warranty the hard drive had to be replaced.  It then ran fan until early this year (2013) when the hard drive failed.  I bought a smaller capacity drive so I cannot use the disk images Best Buy created.  The Windows 7 license key on the bottom of the laptop is VERY worn so I cannot make out the entire key.  With the service tag is there anyway through Dell.com that I can obtain the key?

Thank you for any assistance!
