By accident, some windows updates are removed from my PC after my office very different look. The icons are very small, but I can not reset because when I open the properties to the Office I couldn't find any tab choose the appearance settings, themes or screen saver.

CD/DVD drive does not appear in Windows 8
My CD/DVD drive no longer appears in Windows Explorer in point 8.1 of Windows on my desktop HP Pavilion Slimline 400-034. The disc rotates during startup. I tried the troubleshooting of Microsoft Window 8 with no luck. I would try the HP troubleshooting which requires access BIOS when booting, but by pressing F10 at startup me does not BIOS but Windows load normally. Any suggestions to at least help me get the BIOS?
Solved! No. thanks to HP. Even if I had never opened the file on my PC and make sure that the cable DVD could not be disconnected, I decided to look for. Much to my surprise, he has been disconnected - but not by me - by a HP technician. I remembered that I had to return the PC to HP to replace the power supply warranty in June 2014. Not only have they not reconnect the cable SATA DVD, they put the cable from the hard drive in the MB connector where the DVD cable was supposed to be. After trial and error and insert the DVD cable in the 3 open SATA connectors with no luck, and finally move the cable from the hard drive to another connector and put the cable DVD where the cable from the hard drive was, the DVD has been recognized by Windows and working correctly. Thanks to HP for the many hours I lost to try to correct their mistake.

After installing Ubuntu 11.04, Windows Vista has disappeared.
Original title: Windows vista is missing
After installing Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) my other OP system Windows vista has disappeared. I don't get a menu to choose which OP system I want to use. The grub menu 2 does not include an entry for windows. My computer directly boots into Ubuntu. I tried to put the installation disc in the status bar to try to recover the system but nothing works. Can someone help me please? Isetta cordially.
Hi Isetta,
It seems that after installing Ubuntu, grub 2 took control of Boot Manager and changed the boot sequence. To change the startup entries to get Vista, you must contact Ubuntu for assistance on changing the grub boot entries 2.
You can see the following link to get in touch with Ubuntu.
Hope this information is useful.

When you perform an installation DVD for WES7, I try to include all the updates that Windows Update would later. I recently added KB3142042. There are a large number of updates that are directly or indirectly replaced by this update. Updates replaced is KB3072305, which now appears in Windows Update as something that must be installed.
Out of embarrassment, my concern is that the older "allows to correct ' something in a way that breaks or reverses the effect of KB3142042. My only question: If this update installs, can it somehow 'break' the system in a way that reduced functionality or security?
The list of the relevant supersedures is KB3142042-> KB3135988-> KB3099862-> KB3072305
