  • Cannot get RH8 to open a file search window (or open a file in the menu)

    I came across this question yesterday, it's only of RoboHelp which has the problem... no other application on the PC do it.

    When I was trying to replace a picture by clicking on the properties of the image, then using the "Browse" button or file location in the top right of the image properties window... first of all the window would be gray outside (as if a new window was / had opened)... then... nothing.

    took control to the application, in the window/palette in front of me (the window image properteis)... so I finally discovered I could regain control by pressing the "esc"... which made me think the software 'thought' a window was open... or to somehow it was beyond my visible opening are the office... so I pulled back to a single monitor... still nothing.

    I can't find the window if it opens to find image files...

    Also... I can't even see a window opens when I click "Open" in the file menu.

    Anyone?  Everything happened yesterday...

    Have you noticed a few updates/upgrades for Adobe Air, Acrobat maybe?

    I'm stuck... can not work right now.

    Help?

    Hello

  • Caught a virus. Want to just erase the HD and reinstall. Cannot get Windows original XP discs do. Help?

    Click son on some site that I can download a Trojan horse.  Disabled Malwarebytes and AVG update did not find. Saved that I need and now want to erase the hd and reinstall.  Cannot get computer to read what whatsoever. I myself once in safe mode, but now it tells me that it cannot find a hard disk.  I can refer to boot from the CD drive, but it gives me a blue screen error "cannot find a hard disk. Any help?

    Your computer most likely has SATA drive and the Windows XP installation disc does not include the SATA controller drivers so Setup can not 'see' the hard drive.  You have several options:

    1. to detect the drive, you must use the F6 method to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, note that when you use the F6 method, the pilots MUST be provided on a diskette, the installation program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.

    Adding third-party or updated during the installation of Windows driver
    Mass storage drivers and the Setup process

    2. you can integrate the drivers into your installation CD:

    3. you can go into the BIOS and change the SATA controller in IDE mode and the Windows Installer will be able to detect the drive.  Most of the BIOS have this option is available, if you don't you will need to use option 1 or 2 above.

  • try reinstalling - cannot get Windows XP drivers working but material out Linux LiveCD work

    After having picked up some malware on microtour DX7300 of my wife, I decided to reformat the disk and reinstall.  For years and do not have a copy of the diskette of HP recovery that was created when we arrived first of all the computer.

    I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, installed in such a way that very well.  Device Manager is reported the driver problems with a large part of the devices as ethernet controller, audio, video etc.  I guess I can install most of the people afterwards, except the network/ethernet because I need, obviously, to connect to the internet.  Would have hoped that these devices are plug n play, but apparently not.

    I used a Ubuntu LiveCD to connect to internet.  So I know the network interface hardware works, and even audio and video resolution were out of the LiveCD.

    Found the drivers on this site:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3251397&...

    Those downloaded across the network.  In reading the DX7300, it is clear to me if the network card is the Broadcomm one or Intel.  Rebooted WinXP, I tried installing the Intel driver, got an error message no Intel device not found.  So I guess that's the Broadcomm one.  This driver, installation actually installed.  However, even after a reboot the network device does not work and presents itself as an error in the Device Manager.

    Thought I'd try to manually install the drivers by pointing "drivers" unpacked in the directory of installation above.  Windows indicated that the correct drivers were not found there.

    I'm at one end.  The material seems to work under linux, but cannot get the win to install the drivers.  Advice or help appreciated.

    Hello:

    This is exactly what I need.

    First install the Chipset driver and reboot:

    Then, install the graphics driver;

    I can't get Windows 10 even start - I get a screen with a circle going round - not very technology of mind, but thought I would get more than that! Please help - Cheers

    Try to upgrade manually:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Equium L300 - cannot get Windows 7 webcam drivers

    Hello

    I just upgraded my laptop Equium L300 to windows 7.
    The problem I'm having is, I can't get the webcam drivers.
    I tried vista drivers and I get the camera wizard, then the message

    "Open Webcam driver fail. "Please restart camera or computer ' tried this and still does not work.

    Hey Omegauk,

    Can you please tell us which version of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), you installed this Equium L300 model you have exactly?

    In your case, I'll try a different driver. Currently for Equium L300 no webcam Windows 7 driver available but for similar L300 Satellite you will already find a webcam driver. You should try this one and post your result. Maybe it will work. :)

  • Cannot get Windows XP Home Edition for a mapped network drive / share on a computer of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I constantly tried to use the "NET USE" syntax to get a Windows XP Home system to keep & share mapped network drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of the system and nothing I tried or worked on ANY blog. I can map the current network through made normal drive right click on 'My computer' and then provide a designation of drive letter with the correct path and have had great success using the function "connect using a different user name." However, even with the box checked to re-connect to the opening of the service is WORTHLESS! I made a lot of attempts to use the Net use syntax to create a batch file to overcome this non-functional raw application. I would really appreciate someone who actually had this issue resolved and work. I have looked at all the Windows files on the XP machine, searched the registry about a possible switch, which could make the necessary changes and have made all necessary changes on the Windows 7 system to accept the mapped network share. Help!

    Hello

    Since you have a network with different OS' I hope that Win 7 is configured to run on asnetwork work.

    If evry thing is configured properly it can be a problem of how your router keep information network. With the help of Staic DHCP or IP static on computers could help solve the problem.

    Just in case you need to reconfigure your network.

    ---------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall isactive .

    Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  • Cannot get Windows 7 homegroups to work properly. Double-click a shared library on another machine in the residential group doesn't.

    I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, so I decided to try the new homegroup in Windows 7 feature.  I activated the homegroup on my desk and apart from the music, photos and videos.  I then joined the residential group with the new portable computer using the password provided by the office shared libraries and the same 3 homegroup.  All appeard to put up correctly, but I can't browse libraries shared each machine to other machine.  I have the Homegroup and click on the other machine and I see 3 libraries, but when I click on any one of them does nothing.  This happens on both machines.   The only way I can get the residential groups to work is to first go to the other machine and provide credentials on the other machine.  After doing this, the homegroup files begin to work.  I was under the impression that the homegroup password was all I had to have access to all shared folders with the homegroup, but the only way I can get the homegroup to work is first authenticate itself to other machine using a user name and password.

    The two machines are configured with the following:

    • Network discovery is enabled
    • File sharing and printer is enabled
    • Public folder sharing is on
    • Streaming Media is on
    • File sharing connections is configured to use 128-bit encryption
    • Password protected sharing is on
    • Homegroup connections is set up to allow Windows to manage.

    I came across this forum because I had the same problem today. Real quickly, I have two laptops, one running windows 7 Home premium 32-bit and the other runs windows 7 Professional 32-bit. I have comcast for my internet provider and their cable modem attached to my belkin wireless router. I don't know if my fix will work for someone else, but it worked for me, so this is.

    1. unplug the router cable modem wireless
    2. connect the router to one of your computers using an ethernet cord
    3. open a web browser and type in the IP address of the router in the Web page bar (as when you type hotmail.com to go check your email). Mine is a belkin so 192.168.2.1 has worked for me.
    4. the control of the router page should open, and one of the options should be to reset factory settings, do this.
    5. DO NOT CONNECT THE ROUTER TO THE CABLE MODEM
    6 configure the router in the same way that you did when you first installed the router, but just to be sure, I used another name for the network
    7. Once you have the password set up and named network you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
    8. connect to the new network without wire of each computer (just like when you connect to a wireless network) choose House (rather than work or public) for the network location.
    9. at this stage my homegroup didn't work, if it is not there for you, you may need to set up the homegroup in Control Panel.
    10. once the residential group is working the way you want to connect the router wireless to the modem cable and check to see if your internet connection is working by opening a web browser and go to any old site
    Hope this helps!
