Cannot set any wallpaper as my wallpaper

De : Bob72

I uninstalled a Malware program and after that I restarted windows Vista desktop wallpaper disappeared. I was able to change the background color, but it would not display all images even the backgrounds of windows by default. I reported the problem to microsoft and the sent me Windows Live One care. He has not fixed the problem. Never load the paper painted is damaged. I forgot to set a system restore point when I install windows Vista so I can't go back.

    Hi all

    Cannot set any printer as the default printer. An error message appears, error 0 X 00000709. I have tried to use a guide on the Forums, on the Windows system registry, still does not work. And I couldn't print anything using the PDF, but Words of Microsoft Excel and Notepad are able to print. In addition "format the hard drive, create a user and Fix a user profile is corrupted", is there a solution? Help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Aaron,

    I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

    What is the brand and model of the printer?

    This problem can occur if the wires that are not connected correctly, due to corruption drivers, drivers incompatible, if print spooler service is not started, because of problems with the printer and the printer, missing updates settings.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to run the fixit and check if it helps.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/

     

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check.

    Disable the antivirus software.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

  • How can I set a wallpaper if the explorer.exe shell is intentionally never started

    The scenario:

    I want to run Windows 7 in Kiosk mode using only the touch input keyboard and mouse.

    To do this, I replace "explorer.exe" in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell with the path to my application. It does everything that I need because there is no keyboard and mouse attached.

    I also put a wallpaper that tells the user to contact our support.

    So if my application can not start or fails for any reason, the user cannot manipulate the system, but he receives a useful message.

    On Windows XP, everything works fine - my application starts full screen so paper mask painted. If it crashes, then the background reappears.

    On Windows 7, however, no background appears. The screen remains black even if a valid path is set in the registry. It seems that on Windows 7, explorer.exe is responsible for setting the wallpaper. Since he's never started, no wallpaper is displayed.

    How can I manually set a wallpaper if explorer.exe is never started?

  • Tecra A4: Cannot set the resolution of 1280 x 800

    Hi all.

    I have a Tecra A4, and for the last 2 days I am trying set up the screen at native resolution of 1280 x 800, without sucssess.

    I try a lot of things, like updating drivers, use the restoration of the system, the value 'stretch' in the BIOS, etc, but this resolution do not appear on the display settings (I use XP SP2). I've only 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768.

    In any of these resolutions, a wide black border appear to the right of the screen. A small border appears on the bottom, too.

    Please, how can I solve this problem? I don't want to use the Toshiba restore, some programs I use are very difficult to find and install.

    Thank you.

    You cannot set this resolution if this resolution of 1280 x 800 is not part of the display driver.
    The graphics card driver contains all available resolutions and if one is missing, I mean not rated, it s not able to select

  • Error: The installer cannot set Windows XP required configuration information during the upgrade to Windows XP Home SP3 of Windows XP Pro.

    Original title: OEM Windows XP Home SP3 update XP Pro

    Here is a compilation of the messages from another forum regarding
    My problem:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm trying to upgrade a Windows XP Home Sp3 OEM system to
    Windows XP Pro. (There are a few Pro features
    that are not available in the House I now need: (1) the files offline and
    (2) an add-on available for free to Onenote 2007, Top2onenote, requires a Pro).
    I don't want a clean install, but an upgrade. I bought a Windows XP Pro
    Upgrade CD on Ebay that was Windows XP Pro
    Gold (v2002). I'm sure that's true for the following reasons:

    It has been listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade".
    It seems very authentic with all Microsoft holography.
    He came in the standard package of Windows XP (without box),
    and it was sealed.
    The name of volume for the CD is WXPFPP_EN. The Internet,.
    It is the retail of Windows XP Pro RTM (gold)!

    Here are things I tried initially.

    (1) I tried to upgrade to Pro from the purchased CD. It is immediately
    has refused to upgrade indicating the upgrade OS (Pro) is older than the
    installed OS (home)...

    (2) I read about "slipstreaming". "Slipstreaming" allows to integrate
    a service pack with an earlier version of the operating system. I created a
    upgrade XP Pro SP3 with Nlite slipstreamed CD image (and
    Autostreamer later, but it made no difference) from the purchased CD
    and a file containing SP3.

    After you burn the CD and start the upgrade
    (Windows installation), the upgrade process
    product through "information collection."
    "Dynamic update" and "Preparation of Installation" with
    no problems. My computer restarted and returned to
    "Installation preparation". A progress bar called 'Progress '.
    quickly filled to about 90% and the hanging system
    at that time there for about 15 minutes.
    Then, I got the following error message:

    Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration
    information. This indicates an internal Setup error.

    This is where I am stuck. I had to leave the installation at this point.
    My drive is starts raining and I had to restore a backup.

    (3) just for the heck of it, I formatted my hard drive and
    reinstalled my original OEM XP Home SP3 OS (no clean up, no user file).
    I immediately used my XP CD slipstreamed Pro to try one
    upgrade to XP Pro and IT WORKED! I need to find out why the
    properly clean XP Home OS upgraded to XP Pro but my pre-existing
    (with the files users, drivers, etc..) XP Home OS does not level
    successfully to XP Pro.
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Another post:

    Yet once, today, I installed a new copy of OEM Windows XP Home Sp3.
    I continue with installation of all the essential and the add-on
    pilots (essentially all my original version). Then, I
    set up a network connection and firewall. With this configuration,.
    I ran the Pro XP slipstreamed SP3 CD. The upgrade to XP Pro
    success (even if the upgrade not configured my graphics
    card properly). I guess my current problem is either the registry,
    the WINDOWS, some user file or parameter file.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    Another post:

    I made a file and the backup of the folder C:\Windows folder
    on my system that is pre-existing (OEM XP Home Sp3). I also did a
    separate the backup the State of the 'system' on my pre-existing system.
    These are added my full image backup of her pre-existing
    system a month ago.

    I did a backup image of my system (minimum fees OEM XP Home
    SP3 with all the original installed drivers over a network configured
    connection and a firewall configured). This system will upgrade
    XP Pro with XP Pro SP3 slipstreamed CD successfully.

    Experiment 1:

    I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the C:/Windows folder
    and the State of the pre-existing system backup system. A startup
    has managed (with a minor irritant). I had to activate Windows.
    Then, I tried upgrading the slipstreamed XP Pro processor. He stopped
    at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before:

    Setup cannot set the required configuration information Windows XP.
    This indicates an internal Setup error.

    Experiment 2:

    I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the system state only
    the backup of the pre-existing system. After startup I was asked to
    activate Windows, but answer Yes to the question would be to disconnect me
    the system. I couldn't get connected to try the XP Pro upgrade.

    Experience 3:

    I've restored my minimum system. I then restored only the C:/Windows
    the backup of the pre-existing system folder. Once again, as in experiment 1,
    the upgrade failed at the same place with the same error message.

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

    Before the experiment 3, I hoped that 3 experience would succeed so I
    could conclude that I had a registry problem. I'm not sure now.
    I don't know what to try next. Take the minimum system and reinstalling
    my files of the user is not an option that my hard drive has over 200 GB of
    programs! If I restore all files and folders of my pre-existing
    I would still have backup to restore a system state the reliable (read the registry).
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sorry for the length! If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your responses.

    Thank you

  • WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ANY ADDITIONAL NETWORK (DIAL-UP AND VPN) OTHER THAN THE WIRELESS NETWORK

    ehmm I just installed nokia 6600 pc suite on my computer so I can access the internet on my computer through the usb cable. Installation and drivers have been installed correctly. I can access the internet on the handset but when trying to connect to the internet via USB with the computer "I get a message that windows cannot find any additional network." Its really disturbing that I can do to fix this. Can someone help me please.

    Even if a USB device, it does not create a new network connection for you.  I fear also that you use a regular USB cable - those connections often require a crossover cable (but more on that later and I guess it should work it is how it is advertised).  Go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing center / set up a connection or network / and choose the first option (you can also check the main page to see if the connection is listed but I doubt it).  Choose to set up a new connection and follow the instructions - ensuring that you enter the correct settings when it is required.  You should perhaps install device drivers, firmware and or software for the device to work properly - read the installation mode (and call technical assistance from Nokia to help you put in place - they know more about what we do and should be happy to guide you through the process and even to set the settings on your computer until you log - that's what I would do in your before circumstane even of) ask for help here).

    To start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check all the new drivers (double clck on them) to confirm that they say that they do not work properly.  Go to start / Control Panel / Add Haedware and have the system check new hardware devices - if it finds, install them (it is perhaps what is missing in this process).

    I hope this helps.  If nothiing suggested I bring, don't hesitate not to contact Nokia for assistance - I'm sure they'll have you place and operate at any time.  Keep me in the loop.

    Good luck!
