Hi John,.

Have you tried to activate Windows 8?
Do you have an error message when you try to activate?

If Windows is not activated, you will not be able to Personlize. So please refer to this topic on how to enable Windows 8.

  • Why some elements of the taskbar are grayed out?

    original title: Vista 64 bit Home Premium got updated yesterday. Why some elements of the taskbar are grayed out?

    Hello.

    Yesterday, I downloaded the updates from Microsoft Update. I use Vista 64 bit Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop.

    I don't see the network icon in the taskbar.

    When I right click on the taskbar, go to properties, Notification area tab: I see that Volume, network and power are grayed out. I can't select them. The only I can change is the clock to turn on or off.

    Is there something I can do? No one else has used the laptop. Thank you.

    It works again. Sometimes this happens and I don't know why.

    I used my computer. I turned it off and now the missing things are back.

    Thanks for the info, I didn't have to do it well.

  • Configure the network management grayed out in DCUI

    Configure the network management grayed out in DCUI and some other options are grayed out and network management IP is 0.0.0.0

    Seems that you have not any management VMkernel port or they may have been removed. You may need to check the same.

    Run esxcli list of network ip interface to check if there is no VMKernels.

    It does not generate re no output if NO vmkernel port is available.

    If no. VMkernel ports then follow the below to re-create the management VMkernel port group.

    esxcli network ip interface add-i = vmk0 Pei = "network management - M = 'MAC address' ' to create a VMKernel for management." Make sure the right to MAC address of the uplink is mentioned.

    And make sure that it is a unique vmk, does not correspond to a vmk existing (vmk0, vmk1, vmk2).

    Once the Port is created, you should be able to configure networking on the DCUI

    Hope it will be useful.

  • How can I fill out a form when the typewriter is grayed out?

    I was sent a form to complete for a transfer of real estate.  It contains no provision to fill the it.  So I tried to use the typewriter, but the typewriter is grayed out.  I tried the content, add or change a text box, but which is also grayed out.  How to enter the information?  I use Acrobat X Pro.

    You may need to print on paper and go to the pen and ink.

    Then mail must return or fax or scan and join an e-mail out of the scanner.

    Communicate to the author of the file as a PDF form, it seems to be watered and needs fixin.

  • Sounds and control panel of Audio devices - the speaker settings & gray device Volume

    System restore point created and then installed audio & video drivers from Microsoft Update.  Lost audio & fucking video, speaker in the system tray icon disappeared.   Tried to go back to a restore point, but system says that there was a problem and he is unable to restore my system to a restore point and no action was taken.

    What I did:

    1. Went to Creative & Nvidia and got the latest drivers and installed OK.
    2. Device Manager shows no problems.
    3. A ran Microsoft FixIt.  No problems found.
    4. DirectX diagnostic ran.  No sound on all the tests.
    5. Open 'Sound and Audio Devices Properties' Panel.  On the Volume tab, "Device Volume" & "The speaker settings" are grayed out.  Slider is set to low or non-existent and "speaker" icon is deselected.  "Audio" tabs & 'Voice', have selections SB X - Fi Audio as default devices.  'Hardware' tab has all the devices activated and functioning properly.
    6. As the loss of his is systemic, I checked the BIOS and he had disabled his, so I enabled it, but suspect it is for his mother integrated.
    7. Activated the Windows Audio Service, restarted and assured, it starts automatically at windows startup.
    8. Restored sndvol32.exe from the Windows XP installation disc.

    Nothing has been able to restore all the sounds from my system.  Any other ideas?

    System details:

    Dell XPS 400 card, Windows XP Pro SP3, Creative Sound Blaster X - Fi Extreme Music

    Hi Jim384.Whenever I had a sound problem, I go to the Device Manager open the audio video and game controllers. In the list, you should see peripheral audio. Right click and uninstall it. Close all applications and restart the system. When the system reboots it should detect the hardware as a new device and proceed to load the material. Probably wouldn't hurt to run the program below. Click on the link, download it and then start in safe mode with network and run the program. If there is no bug in there it will remove them.

  • Analyze settings grayed out out on hp mfp dw 477

    I configured the printer to a shared network folder and everything works fine, but when I go to the settings real scanner on the printer itself, I can't change the name of the file, it is grayed out and the settings are grayed out, so, it scans only as a pdf file and I can not change it.  the scanner works and saves it under a default name, I put, but I want to be able to change the name of the scanner before I scan him. any help is greatly appreciated. I read somewhere all that may be required is software scanning hp, but that does not come with the software that I installed it with the cd?

    HP printers that I am familiar with the network folder scanning has nothing to do with a scanner software.

    I go back to the built-in web server and start to check the settings and see if you have inadvertently set it where it is not editable.

    Frankly I don't know even if you can change the settings for a scan of folder in the control panel once it is installed on the built-in web server.

  • How can I import from Outlook 2007 when the option is grayed out?

    I'm moving from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird. All is well until now, but I need to import my old mails from Outlook. When I go to tools > import > Mail I get options for Eudora, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Eudora and Outlook options are grayed out. The option for Outlook Express is available, but who isn't even an option for me, since I am on Windows 7.

    I've read a few articles, and they point out that you must always have Outlook installed and configured as the default e-mail client. I made sure Outlook is set as the default mail client, but the import option is still grayed out. I tried restarting both Outlook and Thunderbird. I also tried the import with Outlook open and closed.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You must Version31 or an earlier version. Something happened along the way with exit 38 and transformed into an accident. It is therefore turned off until it gets.

  • Mail of the El Capitan grayed out after Migration Wizard menus

    The arrival of my new MacBook Pro (OS 10.11.5) I used the Migration Assistant (MA) to import the data from my old MacBook (OS 10.6). MY did not have identical usernames on both devices, so a new user has been created for the migration.

    After migration, everything seems to work very well in most mail (and some obsolete applications).

    Problem: some menu of messaging options are grayed out on and/or non-functional. Strange thing is that Mail works fine in the other user account, so I guess that's a conflict somewhere, sometimes, preferences will not open. New emails correctly, they appear in notifications and can be opened individually, but I can't open the message viewer.

    Grey of menu items:

      

    What I tried without success:

    -delete all e-mail accounts and add them manually

    -remove mail preferences

    -Remove user library: containers, mail, mail preferences folder

    -disable the user fonts

    -Disable items in user login

    Any suggestions much appreciated troubleshooting.

    Problems like this are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have the wrong permissions. This procedure will check for these files. It makes no changes and is therefore not, in itself, a solution.

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. The command may take a significant amount of time to run.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) to appear.

    The output of the command will be a number. It is automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste in a response.

    The Terminal window does not display the output. Please do not copy from there.
