- I boot with UBUNTU 10.04 (of course you can also use a different Linux or Windows PE system there you can read and write to your Windows file System.

- and copy the following files to a temp folder:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}\RP1\Snapshot

• _REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
• _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM

- Rename this files to

• Default
• Security
• Software
• System
• SAM

- copy the 5 files to
c:\windows\system32\config\

- restart the PC

- restore to a previous RestorePoint.

The full manual you can find in

Of course Microsoft do not use Linux, instead they use MS Recovery Console.
You find Recovery Console then you boot with Windows XP install CD and Press "R".

Mac Office 2008/11 kopiere Excel Diagramme nach Illustrator

Hier liegt tatsächlich ein Bug vor.
(Mac Office 2008/11 und Illustrator CS3/4)
Mit Office 2004 ging das problemlos!
Ob das mit Mac Office 2005 und Illustrator CS5 geht ist unklar.

Im Moment gibt es nur einen seltsamen Workaround.


1. Leeres Illustratorblatt öffnen
2. Ein Objekt erstellen. Z.B. ein Quadrat.
3. Das Quadrat auf den Schreibtisch ziehen.

4. Excel öffnen
5. Diagramm kopieren
6. In Illustrator einfügen.

Wenn die Schrift seltsam ist.
In Excel die Schrift auf Standardschriftart stellen (Arial...)
Illustrator kommt mit der neuen MS Office Standardschriftart Calibri nicht klar.



Ein anderer Workaround ist das Diagramm als pdf-Datei abspeichern:

1. Excel öffnen
2. Diagramm wählen und rechte Maustaste
3. Als Bild speichern...
4. Format "PDF"
5. Speichern

6. Die PDF-Datei in Illustrator einfügen.

Re: Copy Excel charts into Illustrator?
Well. I stumbled on an odd work-around for my copy/paste issue.
open an AICS3 file or create a new one.
put an object on the page, then drag that object to the desktop to create
a .pictclipping file.
After
I do this, I can copy and paste to AICS3 all I want and it goes in just
fine. It doesn't like the default new office fonts, gradient fills or
shadows, but it comes over as vector.
The gradient fills
and shadows paste in as raster objects. I just define a plain fill and
get rid of the shadow before I copy. Change the font to Arial or
something and it comes in fine also.
Maybe this will help anyone else having this issue.
I have to do this after every restart, but quitting AI doesn't seem to
affect the temporary fix.




Außerdem vielleicht geht auch das:

into Illustrator?


I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!
When
you open an illustrator file -> new. Click advanced and change color
mode from CMYK to RGB. This does the job! You can now paste your excel
graphs in the file!
If your text is in odd characters make
sure that the original font in excel is not in Calibri (it's to new)
but arial for example.

With special information for AutoUnattend.xml.



Create a "Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE)

You need
- Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) für Windows 7 and
- Windows 7 Install-DVD

Create the iso file

Copy imagex.exe from WAIK to your WinPE iso file

Create Image

- Install Windows 7 on a fresh system


- Create an account and type in the computername

- Go run

"c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe"

System Preparation Tool:
-System Cleanup Action:
--Enter System Audit Mode
-Generalize is not active
-Shutdown Options
--Reboot

OK
Reboot the System

Now the system is in the audit modus.

Install all drivers and software you need.
Be aware not to close the System Preparation Tool window

Then you finished with installing drivers and software change the System Preparation Tool

System Preparation Tool:
-System Cleanup Action:
--Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)
-Generalize is active
-Shutdown Options
--Shutdown

The System is finished for the next step.

Start the computer with the WinPE

Insert your WinPE CD and boot from CD

A command Prompt will be shown

Change device there you find your imagex.exe
For example
d:

imagex /compress maximum /capture c: c:\MyWin7.wim "Windows 7" /verify

Explanation:
/compress maximum - record with less data volume
/compress fast - for fast recording
/capture c: device C:\ - is recording-
c:\MyWin7.wim "Windows 7" - Name of image file
/verify - proof the whole thing

Use the Image

start with WinPE-C
- If you already create a partition

 format c: /q

you format C: in quick modus


- If you had a empty harddisk use the diskpart tool

diskpart
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary size=20000
select partition 1
format fs=ntfs label="Win7" Quick
assign letter=c
active
exit

with help you get information


- Change to there you find imagex.exe
For example you will find it in
d:

imagex /apply F:\MyWin7.wim 1 c:

Explanations:
/apply - we will use the image
F:\MyWin7.wim - your image is in F:
1 - this is the first image
C: the image will paste on c:

The image will be copied to c:
End the program with "exit"


Hint:
I got a 
"bootmgr missing" then I started the cloned Windows 7.
 

I started with the Win7 install DVD.

1. "Repair your Computer"

2.Select 
Startup Repair



- Alternatively you can type in in the comand prompt:

bootrec /rebuildbcd



- If Bootrec cannot locate any missing Windows installations,
you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it.
To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below:
(Remember to press ENTER after each command)

bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

- Restart the computer.


Sometimes following helps, in case Linux was installed:bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /RebuildBcd




- Maybe you need another
Startup Repair

by booting from Install-DVD

EndNote "invalid class string"
This is an endless story (update March 2012)

You get "invalid class string" if you try to open/insert citation from EndNote in MS Word.

Easy solution is, if you never open EndNote. In this case close word and open EndNote. Open Word again.
http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/enfaq29.asp

If this does not work you have probably install EndNote over a old EndNote version. The EndNote Technical Service gave me a solution.


1.(March 2012) this is an almost unbelievable story!
EndNote X1 and later on Windows Vista/7

http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/cwyw/faq13.asp

1. Close all open programs.
2. Go to the EndNote program folder. This is typically
   C:\Program Files\EndNote XX
   or
   C:\Program Files (X86)\EndNote XX
   Where XX represents your version of EndNote
3. Right click on EndNote.exe and select "Run as administrator."
4. With EndNote open, click on the Start Menu. In the search box type "regedit" (without quotes) and hit enter on your keyboard to launch the Registry Editor.
5. Expand the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" folder and locate the key:
   "EndNote11.AddinServer" (for X1)
   "EndNote12.AddinServer" (for X2)
   "EndNote13.AddinServer" (for X3)
   "EndNote14.AddinServer" (for X4)
   
6. Right Click on the AddinServer key and select Permissions.
7. Click Advanced. Then click Add.
8. In object name, type "Everyone" (without quotes) and click Ok.
9. In the Permissions entry window, go to the Delete row. Click Deny and then choose OK.(Really you had to deny the permission to delete)
   
10. Close the Registry Editor and close EndNote.
11. Start EndNote and your word processor normally and try the tools.

2. Here my E-Mail to EndNote (Sept 2010)

Dear EndNote

Error: Invalid Class String.

Endnote FAQ Question 29: "... close Word and open again." does not work.

----------------------------
Reply from EndNote Technical Support :

Dear Dieter Steinmetz,

Installing EndNote X3 as an administrator should still work as long as the user has full read/write/modify rights to the following registry locations:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ISIResearchsoft
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins

Additionally, you will want to uninstall any prior versions of EndNote.

If you wish to do a full, clean install. Please do the following:

First, make sure to back up any library files (both the .enl and the .data) that may be saved in your Program files/EndNote folders.

Do the same for any styles, connections, or filters you may have saved in the EndNote folders.

Now uninstall any versions of EndNote you have on your computer. Next do the following:

1) Quit all applications.
2) Go to Start in the lower left hand side of your monitor and click Run
3) Type regedit then press ok
4) Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/ISIResearchsoft/
5) Delete the EndNote folder and it's contents.
6) Expand HKEY_CURRENT_User/Software/Microsoft
7) Right Click the Office folder and choose to Export.
8) Name the file addin keys and save the file to your desktop
9) Expand the Office/11.0 folder
10) Delete the Word folder in the 11.0 folder.
11) Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/Word folder.
12) Delete the Addins folder.

Now delete the following folders and files:


C:\Documents and Settings\[Your user name]\Application Data\EndNote\
C:\Program Files\Common Files\ResearchSoft\
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Thomson ResearchSoft\
C:\Program Files\EndNote [version]\

Also delete any CWYW files you find in C:\Documents and Settings\[Your user name]\Application Data\\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

Now you can re-install EndNote X3. Make sure to have full administrative rights when you do this and you should disable any antivirus/spyware program(s) you may have running.

If you need further assistance with this issue, please let me know by replying directly to this e-mail.
