Hi, I am trying to download my Blurb photo book and it does not work. I use Lightroom4 and recently (and successfully) use the same picture in several other books. I get an error message that says that the photo cannot be returned. I don't know if it would work with the rest of the photos, because the one who gets the error message is only the third of about 40 images. I would appreciate all the advice really.
Thank you
Carly
As I said, I'm never comfortable with special characters like slash, and colon (exception is the underscore), although I have no direct evidence that there is a problem.
What happens if you rename the photo (using your operating system) to be lake_clouds2.jpg, and then she would have the question mark in LR 4 and you reconnect to the it in LR 4? Renders the picture then?

This Windows XP Home. on a Compaq Presario SR1710NX. Windows can not find the locally stored profile and logs on to a sense of temporary profile every time that the computer is off all changes is lost.
Your user profile is damaged and you put in a temporary user profile. This is why nothing is saved. Create a new user profile for yourself and copy the data from the old profile to it.

Hello Irfan,
Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate. Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me. On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers. Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric. I tried to enter only and does not pass. This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID. Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think? If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

Please ignore above request. I have since re-activated Windows and the problem was solved with technical assistance telephone and thank you again for your help, Irfan. Also thanks to all the people answering the phone at microsoft. The experience I had was really a pleasure. I wasn't expecting such an attitude courteous and professional.
Keep up the good work,

Hello drjoe_anzaldua,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.
Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.
1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.
2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.
Please see the following article for connection errors:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941
836941. you may encounter temporary connection errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
After following the steps of troubleshooting in the article, if you still get an error message, thanks for posting again so that we can help you.

Windows cannot check the updates - C800044E error code
Hello
Since yesterday, I get a notification icon in the taskbar indicating that windows cannot check the updates. If I click on the icon and then click on the button "check for updates" in the new window, the search end reports that an error has occurred and the error code is C800044E. This happens every time after the computer starts and when I try to manually check for updates.
The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit with OEM license.
I already googled for this error code, but none of the suggestions found during the search worked. Mode by default with no results, I installed the MicrosoftFixit50202 (have not tried yet aggressive mode). I ran the malware Microsoft Windows (without threats found) removal tool. I downloaded and installed manually the KB947821 update for vista, also without results.
The last successful update is dated more than a month previously, and I assume that at the same time, some important updates may appear. Can someone help me with this problem?
I've already solved the problem by using the system restore (I used a restore enjoyed a week point).
I'll answer your questions anyway, in which case this may help solve one similar problem to others:
1 Vista SP2 (all updates important/critical installed as of October 1, 2010)
2. Eset NOD32 antivirus/antispyware with current subscription. No third-party firewall (just the windows firewall).
3-4. I have never installed a Norton or McAfee application on this computer, but I'm not sure if a trial version of Norton AV is pre-installed with this computer (if it did, I removed it when I originally set up the computer - almost 3 years ago).
