  • Access 2003 - repeated "You cannot make changes to the database" error

    Hey all,.

    Im having a very strange problem with Microsoft Access 2003, we work with the old databases and when we open them by Access 2003 we get the message "you cannot make changes to objects in database" error, which is expected. However, the laptop began to repeat this message repeatedly about 8 times after the first time that you click on it. Its very annoying to have to keep clicking to get rid of the error message. Its a very strange problem, any ideas on how to solve this problem, or even explain what could of happened will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    PS Ce is not an option for updating the database, we work with a program that uses a database of 97 old and if you update the database the program will stop working.

    Hello

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • Cannot make changes to the parents control settings (Windows 7)

    I've seen several comments regarding this same problem, but so far no solution.

    I am the administrator, but I get an error when I try to access the parent on standard accounts control settings.  Now, what's even weirder, is that I am able to access ONE of the standard accounts, and there is nothing different between this account and others.

    I have tried all the solutions already posted:

    -running 'services.msc' and the implementation of parent controls (which is said by the way, says "this service is a stub for of Windows Parental control feature that existed in Vista", which is strange, it's as if there's no 'Parental control' in Windows 7?);

    -create a new administrator account via the control panel (in the case where my administrator account is corrupt), by restarting and trying to put Parental controls

    -create a new administrator account using the command prompt "net user administrator / Active: Yes";

    -in the course of running "sfc/scannow".

    ANY OTHER IDEAS?

    Did you you run regedit as an administrator? It is a common problem in trying just new values. This is done by right-clicking on the program and selecting "Run as Administrator". This allows you to write new values.

    If you would like more information on this subject by me, read the last post on page 3 here:
    If you have recently encountered this problem, I would recommend a system restore, and I explain the reasons in the tread above.
    I hope this helps!

  • The icons of Windows 8 in endangered and the taskbar does not

    I bought a HP with Windows 8 p7-1587cdPC desktop computer is installed.  I noticed that the desktop icons disappear when the pc would go to sleep.  The to-do bar displays icons, and when I go, it shows in a little window that the page should be, but don't develop open to display the screen.

    I tried right click and selection and deselection of to display icons on the desktop, but it does not work.

    I tried to do a right click on the start menu that appears on the lower left to the sfc scan, but when I click on the (Admin) command, there is a sound notification, and my screen fades and does nothing.  I must leave to return to the desktop.

    On the start menu, I'm able to get on the internet, but none of the programs installed on my pc will open.

    Also, I tried to return my pc in case there was a flaw.  I replaced with a brand new and have the same problems (sorry Costco).

    The only thing that worked is if I stop every time I'm done working, as long as I don't let it go to sleep.  Help!

    Hi Qudico,

    Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community and we are pleased to help you on this question.

    According to the description of the problem, you are unable to open the icons on the taskbar and access programs installed on the computer of the start screen.

    You may need to check if the drivers on the computer are up-to-date.

    Given that this problem occurred in a new computer, I suggest you to contact HP to update drivers currently installed on the computer.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope that helps.

    Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have other questions related to Windows and we would be happy to help you.
