I'm running an Windows 7 Home Basic in a Megaware machine with 8GB RAM, intel Core i5 2.9 GHz (x64), 1 TB of Hard Disk.
The problem is: since today, when i tried to update a project from an SVN repository at google code with TortoiseSVN 1.7.1 (for 64-bit systems) at the same time i opened the Eclipse (Indigo for Java EE), the windows just stops working. No error messages, i just can't do nothing. I can still move my mouse, but all the functions of the windows simply do not respond (i tried ctrl+alt+del , alt+f4, win, win+e, win+r...). I'm acessing via safe mode (with network).
I tried also to uninstall the Tortoise (had to find out how to turn on the MSIServer on), but even after uninstalling it, the problem continues. Can the Tortoise have damaged one of my system's file? Reinstall the windows is my last option, btw.
It might have, but I doubt it. It could also be something else that's been installed since then. Instead of reinstalling windows, go into your Start Menu, and select "System Restore". If you have a restore point defined from before you started experiencing problems, that could be a good way to get back to what you had without a full reinstall.

This post pertains to attempts to install the Oculus software (which is required for development with the Rift) that fail because there's not enough disk space when there in fact is. A little research reveals that this has been a problem since the DK1 and has to do with dynamic disks and the way Oculus installer attempts to ensure that the drive is fast enough.

I hesitated to post this on Stack Overflow, however, I encounter this error when trying to setup a Dev machine for VR development with Oculus, and the solution is sufficiently obscure and not available in a single location yet, and I felt overall it makes sense for it to be here.
You can try going the route of creating a VHD on your dynamic disk, however, for me, even after doing that, the Oculus installer wasn't able to recognize a drive to install on.
I was in a position to reinstall Windows 10. So, with a USB made with the latest Windows 10 installer, my drives were identified as dynamic and GPT and while I could reformat them I couldn't delete them or otherwise change them from dynamic using the GUI.
What worked for me was to go to the command prompt during Windows 10 installation (Shift-F10) and use "diskpart" command line utility to select the appropriate disk and clean it. Like so:
>> diskpart
>> select disk <disk#>
>> clean
>> exit
Then I was able to really format the drive through the Windows 10 installation GUI and proceed as usual with the installation of Windows 10 and then Oculus.
I just recently upgraded to Windows 10 and ever since I have upgraded I can't get into VB6. I keep getting the System Registry error. I have googled and tried about everything and nothing seems to work. Running VB6 as Administrator is not an option, don't ask but we can't have admin to our computers we have to be logged in as users. The way we use to fix it was to trick Windows 7 log on as Admin run VB6 as Admin then switch me back to user and it worked, but this no longer works. Does anyone have any suggestions that currently have VB6 working as a user and not admin? I really don't want to resort to have to run it out of my virtual machine :( Thanks in advance!
Amanda,
I know it is 3 years later and I wonder what you did. and my solution may be late.
I moved VB6 Enterprise to a Windows10 machine, I did not upgrade the machine to Win10 with the IDE. However to make it work for some of my clients with Win10 machines I:
Back up all the VB6 files, folder and directories.
Using control panel in Win10, uninstall VB6 app. That's right, uninstall!
Using the original install disk, running it as an Administrator, install the program.
If the program has been updated to a later version, you need to get a copy of the latest version and copy over the one that was installed.
Or, Sweet Talk your IT guy into making you a new install disk with the latest version you are supposed to be running.
Go to the folder where the exe file is installed, Right Click on it and open the Properties, and go to the Compatibility tab.
Choose run as an administrator, and also click the Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack3, or if it shows Latest version of Windows XP try that. You may need to check with your IT department.
Warning: if the VB6 program uses any non-Microsoft tools you may need to register them by hand.
I suspect this has already been worked out for you, but I put it here for anyone that may stumble across it, needing it.
So I was one of the unlucky who didn't get the reservation on my PC despite meeting all the requriments.
Now I would like to update to win 10 using the MediaCreationTool by Microsoft.
My concert tho is, would updating the system this way be the same as with the reservation?
Meaning will I get to keep my files, and have the option to go back within 30 days?
I'm running win7 Home Premium x64 SP1
Will be glad for any answer
I've done it and I kept all my files and apps.
I also have Windows Rollback (The option to go back that u mentioned)
I was running win8.1 x64
The best option for me. Open the computer, remove the system Hard drive, and get an empty one installed in the PC or laptop, and then install the new Op System you want to try, do the drivers, updates, put some of your software, and test it for a while. If you don't like it, just change the H Disk for the old one.
The situation:
I reinstalled my PC and installed Windows 8. I also installed the latest version of TortoiseSVN. My files are on another (Ubuntu) PC on my network, so windows sees that drive as a network drive.
The problem:
TortoiseSVN sees the directory as an svn repository, no problem there. I can choose commit, enter a comment and choose which files to commit and such. Works all as expected. But once I click the commit button, nothing happens. I mean the commit screen appears, but that's it. Nothing happens after that.
This setup used to work perfectly when my PC was still running on Vista.
Does anybody has any ideas on what may cause this? Cheers!
Issue #1: Accessing a working copy across a network share is not supported, and is generally discouraged.
Issue #2: If your working copy was created/last used with a version of TortoiseSVN (or any other client) which is not 1.7.x, then it is not compatible with the latest release. You must manually upgrade each working copy with svn upgrade on the command line, or right-click -> Tortoise SVN -> Upgrade in Windows. But this will render the working copy unusable for older versions...so if you're using that WC from Ubuntu as well, you need to upgrade your client(s) there as well. Which goes back to issue #1 - sharing a WC can get messy.
Have been running Python 2.7.2 for several months, was using the 32-bit version on my 64-bit computer.
Today ran the installer for 2.7.3, 64-bit. Now I cannot get idle to start. I see answers here for Python in program files, I am running Win7, and I believe the correct location for this machine is in C:\, not in program files. At least that is where I had 2.7.2 and it worked.
So trying
C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py
or
C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw
neither of those would open Idle. With the .py one a console window flashes open for a split second and disappears. On the .pyw one, nothing at all happens as far as I can see. And the pyw one says right on the screen in File Type: "no console"
The old shortcut in the Start menu, under properties says 'target: python 2.7.2', but I don't see a way to change the target.
Also tried opening from Powershell, command line, Python command line, run. None of those worked.
When I downloaded 2.7.3, it said it was overwriting the files in Python27.
Now uninstall offers two programs to uninstall: 2.7.3 and 2.7.2 , but as far as I can tell there is a single Python program on disk and that one thinks it is 2.7.3. I started to uninstall and try a fresh install, but thought I'd ask first rather than risk further screwing up my machine. Thanks in advance for any help. I did read and try to use all the answers in similar questions here on the site.
I ran in to this today. Basically there was already an older version installed and installing over it (I think it was 2.7.2) with 2.7.3 64 bit broke it bad.
At first the CLI python would work but IDLE refused to launch without even an error. Uninstalling/reinstalling did nothing several times, and the problems got weirder as it couldn't find the msi's it had just downloaded, etc. Then I noticed that it wasn't deleting everything in the Python27 folder.
Manually deleting the folder wasn't enough and I found that it was storing another folder under App Data\Roaming (Windows 7). Removing this one finally allowed the re-installation to work (and show up as a newly installed program instead of acting like it had always been there by not highlighting it).
I was about to give up on the 64 bit version and try the 32 but it seems like the Python uninstaller/installer aren't cleaning everything up properly file wise (if it were registry entries I'd still be digging).
