  • cannot create shortcuts

    I can no longer create a shortcut in the menu programs. When I try right-click on the name of the program, the screen just flashes.

    Recently, I uninstalled MS Office 2007 and reinstalled Office 2003. Don't know if this has nothing to di with it, but the problem started right after that.

    Thank you.

    Hi booatticus,
     
    -Were you able to create shortcuts without any problem before?
    -Do you receive the menu while you right-click the program?
     
    Method 1: Start in safe mode and check if the same problem persists there too.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    Method 2: Create a new user account and verify, is that the same behavior shows here also.
  • Click on Start Menu items created shortcut. How can I fix it?

    His past NOT when I click on explore. I have IE8. It's just on the Start Menu 'Help', 'Research' and 'Run'... "in the right lower quad from the Start Menu.

    A simple click instead of starting "run...". "for example, instead of" Windows cannot create shortcut here... ". You want to create on the desktop. »

    It happens without launching the Explorer...

    ANY thoughts?

    Thank you

    Hi Bradley Firt,.

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. The problem occurs on any item of start menu you click?
    4. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode and after return with the result.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 3

    I would also say that you scan the computer for malware infections or viruses.

    You can also use Microsoft Security databases to scan your computer

  • Cannot create folders, shortcuts, etc.

    Cannot create folders, shortcuts, etc. I tried to make it on the desktop by right click-> new, but it has not worked, there is written (Nothing). I think that I have problems with a registry. Please help me. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Hey, pregnant.  Yes, I see that it is empty.  I think the problem is buried somewhere in the registry.

    My only suggestion is to use Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder and drag and drop them on your desktop.

  • Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

    I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
    Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt

    I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
    Is it possible to recover my files?
    Thank you

    Hello

    MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

    Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

    You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

    Good luck!

  • using the admin account to create shortcuts in folders of other users

    Is it possible to be able to edit other users of data such as creating a shortcut for them without having to restart the computer? The same happens for messing around in Program Files, Program Files (x 86) or the Start Menu.
    I'm looking forward and a simple operation that used to take seconds XP is a bread PITA in Vista and 7 because I now need to log in as administrator, disable UAC, restart, wait, you connect again as the admin, my simple management operation, re - enable user annoyance control and then restart it again.
    What used to take 2 minutes now takes 10-15 minutes because of all what to expect as the computer to reboot and let me, connect.

    Am I missing something? A way to drag some files where I want to make a shortcut and you NOT say "Windows cannot create the shortcut you want here. Do you want to put me on the desktop instead?

    I'm supposed to be the administrator, these things really annoy me. UAC is useful to raise my usual account, but it's really annoying when it blocks the admin to do something. At least, it could give an admin logged in as the administrator the opportunity to do what he wants to do when messing around with files and folders. Even an annoying "are you sure?" would be better than being completely blocked.

    If there is a way to do it, let me know. I'm not talking about 'doing the shortcut on the desktop, then copy it where you want', I want to just open an Explorer window and be able to do what I want, as I often need to perform multiple operations and the delay being the guest for everyone is really annoying and slows me down.
    Especially when I compare it to Windows 95, 98, 98SE and XP, I've done this sort of thing with extensive experience.

    Especially when I compare it to Windows 95, 98, 98SE and XP, I've done this sort of thing with extensive experience.

    Windows9x version boosted BACK with only laughable security restrictions, it is not a good argument in support of your complaint. Your problem is caused by UAC, which was introduced in Vista. You can work around it by running Windows Explorer under elevated as follows:

    1. Start an elevated command prompt.
    2. Kill explorer.exe from this command prompt.
    3. Explorer.exe from this command prompt.
    You can now use Windows Explorer to access the folders of other users.
  • Can you create shortcuts file and whenever I chose to place them?

    I have the folder shortcuts on my desktop that points to the network locations.  Because these folder shortcuts on my desktop they have also highlighted in the top level of the Windows Explorer when I opened this program.  This makes it very easy to navigate to the network folder / subfolder, I have a folder shortcut Setup,.

    These shortcuts to files created in Windows XP.  I am now on a W7 machine and they continue to work properly.  The problem is that network locations, I need to point to have changed.
    W7 does not seem to me to change the traces of these shortcuts to folder or create new ones.  Is it true that W7 I cannot create a folder shortcut to be placed on the desktop?
    If this IS true, y at - it a well-known tweaking utility that will enable such a feature?
    Is there a windows file that contains path information this shortcut file that I could 'hack' in the hand?

    AHAAAAAA!  :)  So after a little research, it turns out that the 'thing' I leaned to create is now known as a symbolic link.

    The function "mklink" in W7 gets fact.
    Here is a link to a web page describing the symbolic links, even if you are probably already very familiar with them.
    VERY useful!  Does exactly what I want it to do.  If I add these links on my desk, they appear at the bottom of the tree of office files in Windows Explorer and can be expanded as a real folder.  They can bind to both network shares.
    I use the mklink /D option.

  • Satellite C55-A-1JL - 10 Windows sound driver - cannot create the instance of the APO

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite C55 - A (PSCGAE).

    Yesterday, I've updated my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and install the drivers.

    Version 1.2.41.0 of his Studio of DTS (32/64 bit).

    When I try to open this application I have error: cannot create the instance APO.

    What should I do?

    You need to update the audio driver (I guess that your device uses IDT HD audio card)
    But double check in Device Manager, then expand the section audio controllers, video and game to find out what kind of sound card you have.

    DTS Studio seems to be already aware...

    So I advise you to go to the Device Manager and uninstall its drivers Associates
    After reboot new, Windows 10 must check updates automatically... in case that it does not happen, you can try to manually start the update of the Device Manager.

  • Cannot create Windows DVD, burning the disc - Satellite L350

    Can someone help I'm on a Toshiba satellite L350
    I'm trying to burn a DVD with Windows DVD maker. It is the fourth I've done and the previous ones were all OK.

    I can't burn the DVD, I tried both types of disc and made about 10 attempts today.
    When I try to burn it starts OK then I get about 34% and get an error message

    I had two different error messages, it says "cannot create the DVD error unspecified.". "
    The other says "cannot create DVD catastrophic failure"

    As Akuma wrote, it can be a problem creating Windows DVD and has nothing to do with the functionality of optical disc drive. It is good to check the updates.

    Can you test the WEIRD feature using a different burning application?

  • iPhoto cannot create folder

    Older version of iPhoto to create folders of photo with my uploaded photos. Now, after upgrading I can't do, I copy a picture want to paste in the folder but unfortunately paste is not active and the image can be placed in the folder. What to do, I've uploaded lots of photos from my camera to my Mac Book Air, but cannot create folders and separate them in the order that I used with the old version of iPhoto.Please help me! Cannot work! I upgraded my laptop to fall last year and I am very unhappy because of that.

    Marta

    You use iPhoto or Photos?  The iPhoto version which will work with El Capitan is 9.6.1.  We need more info about your situation before we can begin to help:

    1 - What are you using, iPhoto or Photos?  What version?

    2. What are your help?

    3. where are these records to which you refer? In the library or on the desktop?

    If you have any Photos, this could be useful:

    Moments in Photos are new events, i.e. groups of photos sorted by date of catch.

    When the iPhoto library has been migrated first to the pictures there is a folder created in the box titled iPhoto events and all migrated iPhoto events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in this folder. Use the Command + Option + S key combination to open the sidebar if it is not already open.

    NOTE: it has been reported by several users that if the albums of the event are moved in the iPhoto Library folder in the sidebar, they disappear.  It is not widespread, but several users have reported this problem.  Therefore, if you want to if ensure that you keep these event albums do not transfer out of the iPhoto events folder.

    Is there a way to simulate events in pictures.

    When new photos are imported in the library of Photos, go to the smart album last import , select all the photos and use the file menu option ➙ New Album or use the key combination command + N.  Call it what you want.  It appears just above the folder to iPhoto events where you can drag it into the events in iPhoto folder

    When you click on the folder to iPhoto events, you will get a window simulated of iPhoto events.

    Albums and smart albums can be sorted by title, by Date, with the oldest first and by Date with the most recent first.
