  • Cannot change desktop via right click

    I'm in my browser or the finder, when I right click on an image option 'set the desktop picture' time is absent. Has anyone experience this problem? and if so, does anyone know a fix? I know it's a minor issue, but I would like that it resolved just for convenience.

    I'm guessing you're a convert from Windows. This isn't how you set the wallpaper on a Mac. See OS X Yosemite: give a look tailored to your office

  • Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

    I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

    I apologise for the inconvenience.

    Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

    Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

    The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

    In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

    However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

  • Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

    Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

    Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
    Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

    Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
    What Miss me?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

  • HP ENVY Phoenix 860-000nd: cannot change bios Phoenix language - utility Configuration BIOS HP - HP ENVY 860-000nd

    Hello

    trying to change the language of the BIOS, the Bios HP Configuration utility, but get the error code 6 - access denied (failed due to permissions of the BIOS).

    BIOS version is vA0.08 THI.

    I can read (get) successfully, but cannot change any settings... tried to change other settings to no avail.

    What Miss me? Should I first set a password?

    Hi there @mucckki,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  I understand that you want to change the BIOS language on your system in current Dutch English.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    Was the Dutch language that the BIOS was set to out of the box or he later changed in Dutch?

    If original default systems was English, you can try to look at the motherboard of your system guide. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, Thimphu. At the bottom of the page is an indicator for the riders for the BIOS and CMOS password. If your default language was English, you can use the jumper to clear the current CMOS settings, including language.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

    Hello
    I'm back with my problem...
    Really nothing works for me so I dicided to go back to xp.
    Now there is new version of win 7 7600 and I tried - still no change...
    I tried all the drivers + eysy = no result.

    "I think that person just to use this option so no one have the same problem))
    -everyone I asked - just say ' I didn't I'm able to change the brightness it y.

    I tried:

    It seems you are using a version of vSphere Client 5.5 pro update 2. Download the latest vSphere Client 5.5 VMware KB: download for VMware vSphere Client URL. It will always display a caveat about HW Version the virtual machine, but will allow you to modify most of the settings of virtual machines.

    Note: update the vSphere Client may raise an error, so please uninstall the current vSphere Client 5.5 and then install a new one.

  • Cannot change printers, reset failed.

    I cannot change my printer using Firefox. When I try to select another printer from the dropdown menu, the menu will close and I'm still on the printer I used. With the help of troubleshooting, I followed instructions to reset the printer. He failed. I have reset the default printer to a different printer through Windows 7 settings. He failed. I used followed Firefox instructions to reset Firefox (and lost my modules, thank you very much) and it failed. How can I get this printer working again the menu? For now, I'll have to use another browser whenever I want to use a different printer. Not good.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See creating a profile:

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem
