can not change anything in bios xp
have a dell2400, the system does not start and lies in a boot loop. tried to change the sequence of the car from c to cd.
How old is the pc. If 3 years or more (sometimes less), the printed circuit board relies on its
battery for maintane data. Try to replace the pile of cards, if it's a desktop computer,
You can clear the CMOS at the same time. Reove battery, locate the CMOS jumper
Pine, move the position of 1-2, 2-3, for a minute, replace back to 1-2, substitute
new battery. At the start of the pc, you need to reset the BIOS, all parameters would be as the
PC has left the factory.
Sounds like the problem for me, this time of year his commune.

Why can't change anything after the conversion in .docx? Missing functions the tool bar?
Hi larrys57575985,
To change a file that you converted to Word format, you will need to download it first and then open it in Word. To download your file, sign in to your account on https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file you want to download and click download at the top of the list of files. Your file will be downloaded in the download on your computer folder. In Word, you may need to click Activate the change at the top of the document.
Best,
Sara

Can not change the themes for Windows 7 Home Premium.

I ran the File Checker system under the prompt as an administrator, but he couldn't find anything wrong. I just want to change the wallpaper. Can anyone help?
UPDATE. I just fixed the problem. I'm gone in 'Start' and then typed "services.msc" in the search field and press "enter." I scrolled down to "Themes" and saw that it was on 'Manual' and it is supposed to be on "automatic".
Double-click "Thèmes" and in the drop-down menu, select "automatic". Don't forget to click on 'Apply'. When I did this, I could change my themes. I want just convey you that to someone else. "Dissed" thank you for responding and trying to help out me.

I can not change the type of standard user to the admin account.
I had a very difficult time, adding new accounts to the system. Now that I have, I can not change the type of standard user to the admin account.
As you don't declare that you tried, I am unable to say where you went wrong. Here is a method to promote the accounts without going through the various GUI screens:
1 restart in SafeMode with network.
2. log on as an administrator.
3. click on start.
4. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
5. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
6. click on "run as Administrator".
7. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
NET user
(This will show you all existing accounts)
net localgroup administrators 'xxxx '.
(This will encourage user xxxx to Administrator status. Replace xxxx with the correct name account). -

What do you do when you are prompted to do so? What is a pop-up? The popup has a link on which you are supposed to click, or it actually lists your security questions? Need more information.
