  Hi dove2k,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.

  Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.

  If the step above doesn't, try this step.

  Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
  Click (or to disable)

  

  Notes:
  On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
  You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.

  If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

• Workgroup Windows 7 - can see the folders, but not files in the shared directory

  I have three windows on the same workgroup machines (2 machines Windows 7 [A, B] and [C] XP machine). I have a shared folder on the [A], with many subfolders. When I created first the part, [B] has been able to see all files and folders in the shared directory on [A]. Next, I added several subfolders on [A]. Now, [B] can see new subfolders but not the files in the breast. Why is that happening and how can I solve this problem?

  [A] and [B] are capable of full access to the shared folders on [C]. The permissions on the shared folder on [A] are set to "Everyone" + read/write. I tried several reboots of each machine. Hit "Refresh" on [B] does not make the files appear. It is not password-protected. It turns out that [C] has exactly the same problem as [B], that makes me think there is something to do with the share on [A], but I can't understand it.

  On [A].

  Under sharing advanced > caching, I chose only "the files and programs that specify users are available in offline mode."

  Under [advanced sharing] > permissions, "Everyone" is given full control, change, and read them.

  Under [advanced sharing] > permissions > Add > locations, machine [A] is visible, but are not machines [B, C].

  Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

• Can print the attachments, but not emails

  On my Macbook, I use [email protected] for email and print issues. I can print the attachments, but if I try to print an e-mail the preview screen is empty, so nothing is printed. A blank page comes out of the printer - Deskjet F2280 all-in-one. It used to work very well so do not know what I did to upset the software.

  Hi MoBoot,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you can not print e-mails with your Deskjet F2280 and I'm happy to help you with this printing problem!

  Since you are able to print the attachments, but not emails from your account [email protected], I recommend you contact Microsoft Support.

  Hope this helps and have a great day!

• Windows live mail has stopped working properly. Can view the Inbox but not send e-mail messages. Send a message: problem with page caused either to stop working.

  My windows live mail has stopped working correctly: I can view my Inbox but not send emails, because a box appears and indicates a problem with this caused page internet explore to stop working. This seems to be connected to the other problem I have with windows live messenger, who says his side by side configuration is incorrect.

• System freeze about 5 minutes after startup. Can move the mouse, but can't do anything else.

  Computer Compaq laptop turned on updates of Windows, firewall Windows, AVG anti-virus, etc.
  He has suddenly frozen 8 months ago - would not respond other than to be able to move the mouse.
  Does not "left/right mouse click" or "Ctrl + Alt + Del" or "power button."
  After a long waiting, pulled out the battery/power supply.

  Restarted in safe mode, was able to run AVG, but froze again.
  Has helped me select the AVG window and move it autour, but nothing else.
  Was not able to click with the right button on the taskbar to make appear the Task Manager.
  Only way to reboot was to remove the battery/power supply.

  Same thing, it is is happening whenever I start.
  System access for about 5 minutes and then freezes.

  I am able to get into the system at the start restore.
  Have a lot of personal photos on the laptop.
  Please provide a solution so that I can extract the photos and then restore the phone to factory settings.

  Thank you.

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://www.Compaq.com/country/cpq_support.html

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How can move the pointer after press the play button when editing any file

  My PC is Windows 7, I buy and used hearing CS6 for more than 6 months, but I find the pointer can't move after press the reading change when we file.

  Your audio device is disconnected from the hearing. Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio hardware and restore the connection. When the transport fails, that's the only reason!

• a computer can find the mx922, but not on the same network

  I installed the drivers on my computer tower and on the laptop and everything worked well. Today I went to print from the laptop and it says that the printer is not responding. I went to the tower and the Tower allows to print very well.  So I know that the printer works and talk to the network.

  The laptop is obviously the question.

  Did not uninstall the disks in windows 7 (on the laptop) but I wasn't going to screen printers and devices.  Then, I removed the printer from this screen and told to look for all new printers on the network.  It says that it cannot find.  The laptop can see my computer turn on the network, so I know that the network settings should be ok.

  I don't know where to go from here.

  Any help is appreciated.

  This does not solve the problem.

  Here's what did finally solve the problem.

  I closed the two Tower computers and the printer is off.

  Then pulled the power to the router. I left the modem cable.

  Then I started the router, once which has been fully booted up. Then I powered to the top of the tower and the laptop.

  Now, I went into the router and looked what devices were online and just watched the key info on them.  I don't have any changes.  Then have left.

  For some reason any printer showed up suddenly on the laptop.  Not sure why however.

• He knows the error code. When he asks if I have an installation CD, and I click on the box that says I'm doing, I'm asking to choose m printer (Lexmark 730 series all-in-one) list I can find the Lexmark but not the 730 series.

  The installation CD and my add new hardware wizard does not appear to recognize this printer.

  Hello Debbie Cross,.

  Thank you for your message.  I struggled to find the 730 series printer, do you actually mean the Z730?  If so, click HERE to download the latest driver for your printer.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

• I was invited to run HP on diagnosis of line on my laptop which is under XP SP3. Since that time, a purple vertical line appeared about a third through the screen & moved the desktop icons. I can move the icons, but the line remains.

  I tried all the usual 'household' and the system restore, but this does not solve the problem.

  It is unlikely that a) HP online diagnosis has caused the error. and (b) that it is a software problem. However, because I don't know what made the diagnosis online and why you did, start with the easy things. Download the video driver for your laptop from the HP website and reinstall. If this fixes things, very well. If this isn't the case, it is probably a hardware failure on your video screen of chip and/or laptop. This isn't something you can fix yourself then call HP technical support. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  It is Xandros, since 2007. How did you 3.0.4 on Xandros is beyond me, the package GTK's too old.

  Your best bet is to install a new operating system, like maybe Ubuntu 11.04. It is not an easy task, however, it becomes a little more complicated because you don't have a CD/DVD drive in the EeePC. You need to first get the ISO image to a USB Flash key.

  I have adobe Premiere elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or do fade in or out. I can move the yellow to the bottom line until the volume reads - 0.0, but the noise is still there during playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that chart volume takes a strong recovery or dip at the beginning or at the end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What I am doing wrong?

  Rickey

  Thanks for the follow-up report.

  Just a lit bulb. Maybe the answer, maybe a spleen.

  Look carefully at the audio track of the timeline in the vicinity of title of the file.

  

  The title of your file audio timeline shows: level of Volume or something else. If something else, click the tiny triangle where

  the red arrow in the screen shot is sharp and select the Volume and then level so that you end up with

  Volume: level as shown in the screenshot.

  Hope it's the factor involved.

• I can't tp perform actions on email or some Web sites because the pointer does not change from a helping hand on all orders at the top of a page - any more down works fine

  In Hotmail, for example, I can open any message in the Inbox except the top one, but then I am unable to answer or to take further action because the symbol of the pointer does not change from a helping hand and clicking on has no effect.

  If I try to open the top message from the page by clicking on the command "Open" is gray.

  If I open the type of web page that has a number of menu items at the top of the page, I can't open anything either for the same reason - something more to the bottom of a page is fine. The type of Web site with menus on the sides can be used for all items except the top menu!

  Help!
