Hi wwollmuth,I'm not sure from your post what version of Vista you are using or if you use the Viewer for Powerpoint as opposed to full Powerpoint (2003 or 2007?), but I can try to give you help to fix.
For. Files (Microsoft's PowerPoint slideshow) PPS
Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPointViewer.slideshow.11\shell\ShowClick view, and then click Rename
Type the Word Open before the Show is replaced by the command open
If you have PowerPoint Viewer 2007 is installed, repeat the steps above in this key, thus:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPointViewer.slideshow.12\shell\ShowAfter the change of show to open, close the Registry Editor window.
For. PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint's presentation) filesClick Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
Navigate to the following branch:

I would like to know, if Python 2.7 is compatible with Windows 10, or not? Currently, I have Win 7 and think reserving Win 10.
Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed
You can do better to post the question to the Python developers for the more precise answer, but...
Win10 is not going to be a completely new platform, and I doubt that there will be problems with Python 2.7,
or the vast majority of Win7 compatible software.

Hello
I connected two computers, one running on windows xp sp2 and others running on windows xp sp3 via com using RS232 port via link Modem DFM-562E ++.
I am able to dial numbers from a PC successfully.
But when I do a direct link between them (one as a host, the other guest) through the com port, I get error 777.
Is this because the two PC's using different service packs?
Help, please.
Thank you & best regards
RaviIt is not the service pack - although you should have installed sp3 now.
Your message is not clear: have you been able to connect successfully computers using your modem D-Link? How did you do that? Will there be a modem in the second computer?
What cable are you using to establish a direct connection between the com ports on both computers? If you have purchased this cable online, please provide a link to the site where you bought it.
Please describe the physical connection between the two computers. For example, this is how you connect to the Internet by dial-up services:
computer 1-{(9 broches) RS-232 serial port}-{RS-232 cable supplied with the modem}-{modem}-{phone cord (RJ-11 modular plugs at each end)}-{telephone wall jack}

Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help!
Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help:
I have a desltop installed SP3 x 64 XP and a laptop with seven x 64 SP1. In both the machine that my backups fail. I'm trying to back up data by using boats to storage, backup Windows also is failling. I'm taking a full backup on a USB external drive (2 TB).
I did "vssadmin list writers" and showing several writers are in the failed State.
I've done SFC/scannow, it did not help. There is no error in the disk and Chkdsk.
I don't know how VSS works and how to solve the problem. Help, please!
A lot of people told me they found this informative article. That's why I upgraded that and display back again.
-------------------------------------------------------
Before you stat is working on this issue make sure that the volumes have no system disk/file error. Run Chkdsk and ensure.
(1) in the case of a failure of backup/writer, we first check the drivers associated with the VSS backup.
These drivers are:
VOLSNAP. SYS
NTFS. SYS
SWPRV. DLL
-Check the version of above mentioned MS 3 files and update using MS Hotfix.
If we have installed other suppliers, who might be the supplier of StorageCraft, Symantec suppliers and suppliers of Acronis, he must ensure that their files are also updated.
Note: You can see the list of suppliers using this command: VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS
Some of the DRIVERS PROVIDER commonly find are:
stcvsm.sys
symsnap.sys
snapman.sys
(2) this step is performed only when we find him
VSS writers in a failed State. If we find the stable writers and backups still fail, or we get errors, do not perform this step if you please.
In this case, the VSS writers fail, we can delete the following registry key, after of course saving and restart the server.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/EventSystem/{26c.../Subscriptions.
This key will be automatically recreated when you restart and writers should return to the stable state.
The writers pending the completion status is not a problem. It's also good that Stable.
We can do on the Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2 OS as well.
However, in Windows Server 2003, after you delete and restart the "vssadmin list writers" server cannot display all the writers, in this case must register the dll:
For a list of the dll files to register, please check KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184
Note: The reinstatement of dll in Windows Vista/2008 and especially is NOT recommended.
(3) if we have only one / specificwriter (s) in a State of failure, which would always be SQL, EXchange, IIS or NTDS, then we have need to revive their respective service Console of service.
If they fail repeatedly, then make sure that the application and its components are updated. See their respective engineers immediately. Make sure that the latest service packs and patches are installed.
(4) make the foregoing, resolves generally 80 to 90% of the questions. If we believe that the issue is occurring, or we have VSS event errors, it may be the providers, the origin of the problem. If the creation of the snapshot does not properly, it can affect writers and other components involved.
Please check providers using "vssadmin list providers. If we find any other provider, other than the Microsoft software shadow copy provider, we have to remove from the list.
To do this: start the registry editor.
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VSS/suppliers/GUID.
One GUID would be for Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider. The other GUID would be for other providers such as StorageCraft. We will save the GUID, and then delete it. Then restart the machine.
Now when we do vssadmin list providers, we will see only the default Microsoft provider.
I have seen in many cases where our supplier of StorageCraft may not work properly and continue of not not the authors. In such
case, if we get rid of the supplier, then the issue is resolved and not re occurs.
-However this would impede the functionality of StoaregCraft or any other similar to this backup software.
That's why to engage respective software tech support for further assistance.
(5) If a shadow copy is enabled on the volume, make sure that the storage area is set to the default location.
For example:
If we take a snapshot of C: then the storage area should be C:
We are changing that, if we do not have enough free space (at least 300 MB) free.
We can click with the right button on the volume, goto the cliché tab and change it accordingly.
Also note that the minimum value of the storage area should be 300 MB and maximum can be 3000 MB.
We can also set any value between the two, which is a multiple of 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500 etc... According to the available space.
In the cases where errors in the event viewer on wait times (event id: 12298, 12310, 2004, 12290) then we also need to put the MinDiffArea in the registry.
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Volsnap
Right side, new DWORD VALUE - "MinDiffAreaFileSize" - change and set the value between "300-3000 Mo" or any multiple
300 between the two. Ideally, we can define it on 3000 MB which works even better if we have space.
Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826936
(6) also, please make sure we have plenty of free space. If we go by the book, a snapshot requires at least 10% of the volume
to be free.
Storage controllers (SCSI/RAID controllers) could also be a problem and may need to be updated.

I have flashing lights and impossible to turn on or off.
I have flashing lights and can't turn on or off.
Thank you for your help.
Hi P a-t
I understand that you have lights flashing and the printer will not turn on or off.
I'd do a power reset to see if that will solve the problem. When the printer is still lit, disconnect the power cable to the back of the printer, if the printer has external power supply with a detachable power cord unplug for 15 seconds and reconnect it. Then, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and turn on again.
Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)
Please provide the following information so that I can better help you.
What operating system do you use?
Here is a document to your operating system Windows.Here is a document to verify your operating system Mac.
Please provide the name and the product number of your printer.

Hey jennyanderson99
as you ask specifically about active desktop, here's what it is, or in your case what she was before vista released
Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update that allows the user to add optional contentHTML on the Office, as well as a few other features. This feature was designed to be installed on theWindows 95 operating system then in force. It was also included inWindows 98 and later Windows operating systems up toWindows Vista, where the feature wasdiscontinued. This corresponds to the version ofInternet Explorer 4.0 to 6.x, but not Internet Explorer 7.
HTML users can add in place of the ordinary wallpaper as independent resizable desktop items. Items available online can be regularly updated and synchronized so that users can stay up-to-date without visiting the site in their browser.
Active Desktop works as the technology of desktop widget that allows users to add customized their desktop information.
Here is information for active desktop for xp
http://www.ehow.com/how_6366085_make-XP-Active-Desktop.html
information from wikipedia about active desktop are less than
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop
The introduction of the Active Desktop brand attempt by Microsoft to take advantage of the ephemeral trendtechnology push led by PointCast. Active Desktop has imposed a number of "channels" ofdesktop computers that provided information updated continuously, such as headlines and stock quotes, without the user to open aWeb browser of the user.
Active Desktop debuted during the publication of 1997 of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, install it as a feature of theWindows Desktop Update offered to users during the upgrade option. The Windows desktop update is commonly referred to as (bad) Active Desktop itself, but it is actually a whole Windows shell to level v4.0 to v4.71, or v4.72, with many changes in the Windows interface, resulting in a level look and features almost indistinguishable from the Windows 98, then again to-be-released. Features include the ability to allow uppercase filenames (the old v4.0 Desktop would forcibly filenames in title case uppercase), the dynamic tracking file selection click configurable, customizable by HTML, QuickLaunch folder display settings mini buttons on the taskbar next to the Start button, improved to Start Menu drag and drop re-organization of the elements and menus contextual click right to rename point etc. With the update, Windows Explorer now has an address bar in Internet addresses that can be entered and driven seamlessly.
Active Desktop was widely regarded as a failure, with one of the main problems being its use high system and reduction of the stability of the system resources. Although not used[citation needed], the availability of Active Desktop was decisive for the legal argument Microsoft in antitrust case of United States v. Microsoft , that Internet Explorer has a feature of Windows, not a separate product.
Later use
Windows Vista has replaced the Active Desktop withWindows Sidebar (now called Gadgets Windows Desktop fromWindows 7), which also allows the components to add to the desktop. Windows XP is the newest operating system from Microsoft to support Active Desktop. It seems that the 64 bit version of Windows XP supports is no longer Active Desktop. It provides always the option to display Web pages and channels built with MicrosoftChannel Definition Format (CDF) on the desktop.
Display HTML features are now mainly used for creating wallpapers originals and adding the fields of desktop search. For example, a user can copy the following code to display the search box of Wikipedia on the desktop:

Need to show daq reads per second, but only to record a reading every 10 minutes, need help
You are also looking to taste to 1 Hz data acquisition?
My approach would be to use the DAQ acquisition to time your loop display reading each acquisition, then use the loop counter to control the logic of your writing to file. For 1 Hz and 10 minutes write I would use 'quotient and remainder' I / 600; If rest = 0, then write the data point.
For the date and time, under Calendar palette use the time get in seconds food a DateTime Format to a string.

I have XP SP2 and am unable to install SP3. Problems with Windows install & download manager.
I rebuilt a laptop from scratch using XP Home. Currently, no software beyond basic MS core apps. Not even MS Office. I am trying to activate the automatic updates.
The error messages that I get point to Windows Installer and/or MS Download Manager, but these same problems prevent me from deleting/updating install or Download Manager.
If I run FixIt to activate the automatic updates to download SP3, the following error message is returned:
_Windows Installer_
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly
installed. Contact your support team.If I try to manually download the SP3 (WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exe), the following error is returned:
_Microsoft download Manager_
There was a problem opennig the Microsoft Download Manager.
Update your computer with Windows Service Pack 2 or later version to download
files using the Microsoft Download Manager.I think I'll through in circles. I need SP3 for automatic updates, but impossible to install SP3 since SP3 is not installed. I must be missing something obvious, but I simply cannot get by. I'd appreciate any help - thanks.
OK, I followed the link clicked on download, saved on my desktop, then tried to start the installation. The returned message is:
It is often the result of a corrupted download. Please restart the download. If this fails, you can try download with another browser such as Firefox or Chrome?
Another possibility is malware that you have scanned with your preferred 'egi' software?

I have Vista SP2 and I have a problem with my sidebar... as many others do.
My sidebar has not worked for some time I ran the command prompt sfc/scan and found no errors in the sidebar, it shows my gadgets, but they don't work... loads of the sidebar and gadgets do not work IE. the clock gadget will load but the hands do not move and are glued directly to the top of the background is all black. I also tried the fix DPI adapting it to 120 and that didn't fix either. Also im now using IE9 not IE8 for a browser. Now, I have also tried the reg commands and deleted the file settings.ini and still nothing... PLEASE HELP ME!
