bubbles screensaver refuses to change or be removed?

Hello

Go to settings of screen saver control--> lower panel down which gives me options to switch between the screen savers is grayed out and cannot be clicked... so I'm stuck with bubbles and I really don't like... I want to remove the bubbles... Infact I don't want all the screensaver and I don't seem to be able to do... Help, please!

I have problems with my PC freezing at the start of my SS bubbles.  I can't change the settings, and everytime I try, my PC freezes.   I tried your suggestion but when I open the "Windows" folder, there is a folder "Office".

I am at a loss and begging to become very bored with this problem. I run Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. If there is anything you can do to help, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you

  • How to stop the wallpaper and screensaver to automatically change

    original title: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit wallpapar and screensaver continue to change. How can I stop this?

    Hello

    Just had brand new laptop and I am setting up the way I like it. Every day my wallpaper and screen saver change on me and I can't figure out how to stop this. It's so frustrating.

    I online have looked for a solution, but fails. Help, please.

    I had the same problem.  This would change all the time and I have to go to personalization and deliver it to a blue background.  No matter how I configured the settings in Windows, the background would still change.

    Eventually, I realized that this is the toolbar Bing control my background image.  To disable, click on the 'i' icon in the Bing toolbar, and then clear "change wallpaper in bing every day."

    This solves the problem for me.

    1. click on 'i' on the Bing toolbar.

    2 uncheck the box to change the wallpaper.

  • How the * can I get rid of Yahoo search - Firefox still refuses my changes at the next startup.

    Work in Win10.
    Firefox refuses to keep the changes I made to remove Yahoo.
    Remove all browsers except Google - next time you start it again Yahoo!
    No other browser has been replaced, with the exception of Yahoo.

    It's very 'big brother', which I don't expect Firefox.

    After spending hours fighting it, I'm at the "tip" of let - pun.

    It seems you might have a bit of malicious software on this PC. I see an extension named Hub of results which is known as bearer of Malware.
    Why don't you see if removing "garbage" that gets rid of your problem with Yahoo search 'come back' at the next startup, which is a symptom of Malware.
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/ads-by-see-results-hub-removal/

    When finished remove that, please install this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ - as a final step to get some reset preferences to default values. Note - that extension will run during installation and then disappear.

    Photosmart Premium C410 fine woking with e-print. I had to change the IP address and also forgit r = the email address, I want to just start over. I logged into my account eprint and removed the printer. I disabled the webservices on the printer. Now I can not yet enable web services on the printer. Every time I try it tells me that it cannot connect to the server. It is connected wireless and an excellent resistance and printing from PC works fine. I tried resettimng to factory default on the printer, but no change. How to reset a new IP address to an e-printer e-mail address and/or how to enable web services again on the printer?

    The steps below a usually resolve the problem you are experiencing:

    1. unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.

    2. unplug the power cord at the back of your router (and the modem, if they are separated from the router).

    3. wait 20 seconds, then plug the router (and the modem, if necessary) in.

    4. wait for 30 seconds, then plug the printer back and power.

    5. press the button on the front of the printer ePrint, and it should try to connect to Web Services again.

    These steps usually fix the problem, but if it persists, you can try definition of network information static for the printer (which is sometimes useful to stabilize the ability of the printer to get outside of your network to the internet):

    1. press the network icon at the top of the screen of the printer and note the IP address.
     
    2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of a web browser on a computer and press on enter or click the go button browser.
     
    3. the printer status page must be open.  Click network in the upper part.

    4. Select the Proxy settings.
    Note: If you are prompted for a redirect, click OK.  If you receive a certificate warning, select the option that allows you to continue anyway.
    If you receive an internal system error, refresh the page until it loads the proxy settings.
     
    5. check that all fields are empty.  If they are not, make them disappear and make sure that the Proxy Server requires authentication is unchecked and click on apply.  You should get a success message.
     
    6. click on IPv4 under the good (wired or wireless) connection on the left.
    Note: If you only configuring IP address and DNS address with a yellow note Configuration, refresh the page until it loads completely.

  • Why the length of film does not change when I remove Vista Movie Maker clips?

    You have not answered my other question.  I get an error "does not fit" when you publish a movie on dvd. I deleted half the clips in the storyboard and length does not change. I always get the error "will not fit". After I saved the project. It seems that it becomes the length of the imported clips not what is in the table of Storyboard. The length of the table of Storyboard is only 01:30, but the length in the window shows 02:42 that is causing the error. It seems to me that it should use the length of the table of Storyboard because it's what makes the final video on dvd.

    Yes... adding or removing items from the timeline should change the duration of the project.
    The files in your component collections have no effect on the duration of the project.

    I suggested that you publish in the movie .wmv format to see if the version with clips
    removed would still last for 02:42.

    As I have said from the beginning... creating several small projects may be your solution.

    I'm sorry that my suggestions seem redundant to you. Perhaps you could find assistance elsewhare.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • Cannot change properties or remove any wireless network

    Hi all

    I can't change the properties or delete any saved in my laptop wireless network. I get an error message:"Windows has encountered an error in the recording of the wireless profile. "Error: access denied".

    I use Windows 7 Professional, logged as administrator. I've updated wireless drivers, but that has not helped.

    Because of this problem, I can not connect to a wireless network, whose password has been changed. When you try to change the password through the andSharingCenter network-> manage wireless networks, I get the above error message. I also tried to delete the network but could not, that nothing is happening, there is no error message, but the network is not removed.

  • Bubbles screensaver has black background

    Separated from this thread.

    I understand the answer, but what I don't understand is why this happened when I moved my desktop from my desktop computer to my home. In my workplace, the bubbles on my photos of ancient Egyptian statues and places. So, I always saw my work office.  At home when the screen saver is turned on the background is blue and white. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    For diagnostic purposes, I suggest you save an image on the desktop and then set this picture as a screen saver. If the problem is not persists, I suggest that you change the location of the image (s) you want to save as screen saver.

    I hope this works.

  • Changing icons (or removal) on the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus touchscreen

    Is it possible to change the order of the icons on the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus touch screen? Because I do not use the fax feature, I would like to move the icon to fax to the second page. If not, is it possible to remove all the icons (like the Fax icon)? Thank you

    Sorry, there is no way to change the order of the icons or delete the icons on the display screen. I understand that you do not use this feature, but there are some cases that you decide to change your mind you over a period of time.
