• Beats Audio Control Panel has been removed from my PC after update audio driver.

  Pavilion dv7-6052er (Windows 7 x 64). Beats Audio Control Panel has been removed from my PC after update audio driver.
  Tried to reinstall manually with 6.10.6345.0 version (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe) and another randomly chosen by some. Nothing has worked.

  4 reinstall the driver.
  5 restart my computer.
  Just after the start of Windows driver trying to implement something else (or to continue installation), but it causes an error: _Error: Error = error Undefined...

  I think I tried all possible combinations of actions. Beats Audio Control Panel works without noise and noise without BACP. But never together.
  Please help me with some advice. Thank you.

  Hey guys! Tried once more to remove the driver and install it with the Recovery Manager. Don't know how, but this time it worked.

  In fact I've disappointed with HP updates, won't be tester for you. I'm tired of these bugs after updates (utility Cool sense, Beats Audio etc.).

  Turn off automatic updates on my PC, seems I don't need your "improvements".

• Windows Control Panel has stopped working and cannot read the CD

  Original title: windows control panel has stopped working

  When I went to install my Rosetta Stone program it showed Windows has stopped working and then installed the program and when I put the cd in my computer saids windows control panel has stopped working and cannot read the cd

  Hello

  You say "Control Panel has stopped working" or "Windows Explorer has stopped working"?

  Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if that helps:

  Start the computer in a clean boot state

  Start your computer in a clean boot state, and check if your computer is able to read the CD. Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• Limit the control panel and IE for the Standard user account

  I'll set up a new computer for a 91 year old customer in a retirement home, who don't use the computer for e-mail and an occasional Wordpad document.  His son wants to put computer in place so that it cannot get to the Internet Explorer browser, or go to control panel, because he bumbles around the keyboard causing all sorts of problems requiring frequent service for me calls.

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home BASIC, so gpedit.msc is not installed.  I have activated the system administrator account for my use when I am called to repair the computer and set the Standard user to user account.  The problem is that the only way I found to disable IE and the Control Panel causes them be turned off in BOTH accounts.  I wish I could disable them ONLY in the user account.

  The only solution I found to disable the control panel is a registry hack in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current versionpolicies where I put a DWORD 32-bit "NoControlPanel" with a value of 1.  I tried to do that in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive, but it had no effect.  This kind of work, but there are two problems then; Mises_a_jour Windows 1) won't install and 2) when I have to go to work on the computer, I first change administrator user, then change the DWORD value to 0 and finally to restart the computer, causing additional assignments, lengthen my time at work.

  Second, the only solution I could find to disable IE was in the default protrams Panel, which disables the administrator as well.

  Can someone tell me if there is another way to achieve this, while IE and control panel are disabled only for the user?

  Change the security to the IE executable rights? Remove 'Users', while you keep the administrator rights.

  For control panel see 'Method Two' in this link:

  "creacontech" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  Thanks for your response, but will not solve problem of this "gentleman". The object is not so much to limit internet access, as it should restrict access to programs.  He is 91 years old, has small hands and types rapidly with two fingers, but made many mistakes.  Disability is before everything to prevent clikety snap everywhere, because he creates sort of a zillion copies shortcuts of the webpage on his desk, until everything hangs and I have to go a push up on his mess. The same reason applies to the Contorl Panel.  We don't want it to be able to get to the Panel "printers."  When a document will not be printed for a reason, he go, dummy click around and created a bunch of copies of the printer, with a gazillian of documents clogged up in the queue of the coil.  I had to cclear up to 100 documents from the spool on 50 copies printer queue.  It's really an economic problem for his son.

• HP Deskjet 2050 'control panel' (for lack of better term) missing

  This morning, I clicked on the link that was created when I installed my HP Deskjet 2050 and the 'normal' Panel controls color black and blue with buttons to click on for printing, scanning, check the ink levels and all kinds of other things appeared.  I used this dozens of times link since I had this printer, and whenever I was sent to the good 'control panel' buttons to make things.

  I clicked on the "scan" button and went about my business-

  I scanned the 4 pages of homework in a single PDF.

  I went to my office and opened the .pdf to check the quality.  (I did not close the window of program analysis.  The Control Panel has been closed when open scanning window.)

  The scanner has been created to analyze the incorrect page size (results of a project from the beginning fo this semester) and I re-scanned 4 pages to the appropriate size.  Saved.  Check again once, it was fine this time.  I closed the digitization program.

  Later today, I clicked on the same link mentioned above, and for some unknown reason, I get a completely different screen.

  

  To the best of my knowledge, there have not been change file (last was 16/11/12, which was certainly not in the time I found the control panel that I use usually missing) or driver updates or something of the sort that caused my "printing, scanning, etc." link to no longer open the correct control panel.

  There is a "Control Panel" completely different available not an hour before that I started to see the Junk above.  (And the "Wizard of the printer" button above does - nothing - at all either!)  There are 6 or 8 buttons which included objects such as a scan of pages option and make copies.  The previous control panel was also much more black than white.

  How to bring back the old control panel with other options?

  Hello

  HP has released a new version of the software and the question that's happened as the software you are using is obsolete.

  Please remove the software by clicking Start > programs > HP > HP Deskjet 2050 > Uninstall.

• Control Panel System Windows Explorer has stopped working

  When I press on the Control Panel, system, I get an error "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then control panel stops. I get this error every time I have to perform this action. When I run my PC on Safe Mode, it works fine and I get no error and I'm able to run the options that appear when the 'Systems' option is selected. Other tasks in the control panel seem to work correctly.  I also noticed that I get similar messages "windows Explorer or the program has stopped working" periodically when I perform other tasks in internet explore, etc.

  I tried all the recommendations described in of KB/269949 and KB/929135 knowledge articles and many items in the Microsoft community, Microsoft and the Internet site. For example, update the video driver, auditor of file system (CFS), Virus scan, Mode safe, clean boot, memory RAM test, etc.. I also tried all the relevant actions I could think under the Microsoft Fix tool. Each of them has not solved the problem.

  I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5742 G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 8 GB of memory, running Windows 7 with all the latest updates installed, so all drivers have been updated. I also use the last IE 11 with all updates.

  If anyone knows a similar problem with Windows 7, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer 11, or has a recommendation how to fix?

  Hi Ravi,

  This is an update to my problem. It might be useful to others with similar problems.

  My problem has not been resolved, but I decided to live with it. It was a difficult decision after a major disaster, I almost lost everything on my PC to try and solve the problem.

  I put the finger on the problem with the graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 version 8.741.1.5000 dated dated 25/08/2010 driver. I noticed that when I check for an update using Control Panel, Device Manager, select the graphics card above and updates, windows comes back with a message indicating that it is the best available driver.

  I made the mistake to check the AMD website to see if there is a newer driver. According to their instructions and download their program, they recommended a more recent drive using the catalyst for AMD. The new driver is Version 14.301.1001.0 dated 15/09/2014 date. The same driver is also selected if I the Slimdrivers application user. With this new driver, the problem disappeared. In other words, I was able to use the Control Panel, System menu and access the submenus system without any problems. I thought I had solved the problem. I repeated the process and checked for the driver from the Windows Control Panel, Device Manager and look for the updates. Surprise. This review of windows update back to the original version of the 25/08/2010. The problem is back again. I repeated this process with re-installing Catalyst from AMD with the same results.

  However, I noticed that the AMD Catalyst, never finished the installation and the installation crashed. Updated the driver before it crashed.

  My major problem occurred when I tried to restart the PC with the new driver installed by AMD Catalyst. My PC and Windows would not start. He gave me a number of errors that the problem cannot be corrected. I tried all the solutions, Safe Mode, point to restore, System Restore and all the choices given in the articles from Microsoft. None of them worked.

  Finally, after many hours, days and nights that I was able to use an Acer recovery disk, I created when I bought the laptop. One on the Image worked system recovery options and I could get my PC to a more ancient date. The driver is the original edition of 2010 the year with the same problem.

  Therefore, I decided to live with the problem. I can access the submenus of system using startup and entering in the auxiliary system option in the search box. I wrote these submenus.

  WARNING TO OTHER USERS. DO NOT TRY to UPDATE THE ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, 8.741.1.5000 driver version dated 25/08/2010, using catalyst of MCDA.

  Furthermore, my assessment is that if I try to restore my PC to the factory default condition, once all windows updates are installed and I install my apps, the same problem will occur. If I did think I would lose a lot of useful applications, which I'm not sure that I can restore. I have a lot of useful data that I use for more than 20 years and I can't afford to lose their jobs. I would live with the problem until something more grand occurs. In this case, I would by a new laptop. I would make sure that there no AMD ATI products on this topic.

  Thanks again for the time. There is no reason to answer, unless as described above, you have seen something new.
