Desktop problem.

Most of the icons on my desktop have changed to a white paper icon. When I go to open a program the 'open with' box opens, and many times, I can't even find the program I am trying to open. This is a big concern, and my itunes seems to have completely disappeared.

I hope this will help...

  • Handspring Visor Deluxe desktop problem

    I used a Handspring Visor with Windows XP Home Edition for the past 3 years with any problem until October of this year.  I tried to open the office program that came with the visor and it failed with the message "invalid address file" and the error message referred me to Palm Support web site.

    I downloaded the update 401 installed and original program on the computer and tried to HotSync, but she doesn't have a sync.  I have tried the following updates: USBREGClean, HS_Updater & DSTUpdater and reinstalled the original program and update (401) but always without success to get the office program to open ot HotSync.

    Any suggestions before I throw the visor away.  I want to continue to use the visor...  Have used the visor for the last 2 months, I am very worried because I can't add on the desktop.  I thought that the Windows Update has been cuaing the problem and returned to a point of restoration in September when the last HotSync worked, but again without success.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try the following steps to see if you can get Palm Desktop to open.

    With Palm closed desktop on your PC, go to computer, c drive or local drive, program files, palm or palmone, find your user folder (it will be a contraction of the name of user in palm desktop), find the address folder and rename it to address.old. Click on the Palm Desktop and see if it opens. If it doesn't, change the conduit in hotsync manager for handheld overrides desktop and sync.

    When I put the pair of DIMMs in the pc, it won't post more.  The screen is still asleep and I never see the bios screen, I can't go in the bios configuration, or whatever it is.  As soon as I remove the pair, it works again.  The PC came with 2 512 MB DIMM in the slot 1 and 2, so I tried to delete those and replacing them with the pair I bought and got the same results.  I buy the bad memory?  I see it should work.

    Finally!  I decided to try the suggested crucial.com memory, I went to the city and found in the store of the local computer.  It is plugged in and it works like a charm.  NewEgg gave me a credit on the memory of others when I called them, so everything worked.

  • Magic desktop problem

    Laptop HP with Windows 7 version comes with a game called Magic desktop. A program compiled with many games. My antivirus detected a bug or a virus through this program and I have deleted or disinfect this component and now Magic desktop will not work.

    In realtion to my previous post, I think that the message I kept getting is ezRecover.exe - systemproblem. missing file

    I tried to uninstall this program, but this program seems you incorporated the program windows 7 and can not be remove d through programs - uninstall/repair.

    Please, if anyone out there knows how to uninstall Magic desktop, help me.

    Thnkx

    Hello

    Download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.

    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php

    Revo and see if he can find Magic Desktop. If this is the case, right click on the program icon you want to remove and choose uninstall.  This will run the uninstall program initially own applications (which will probably fail), but continue with the rest of the process.  During the process, that you may be asked to remove the registry entries, simply select all and then click on remove.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the PC.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet 4500 desktop: problem of scan for hardware

    Hello.

    I'm having a problem with the Scanner on my device. It worked fine for years until recently. When I run a scan, the scan bar sounds like it is moved to about, as if she was facing too much friction on his way. The resulting quality of the scan is too rough. Here is an example:

    I tried to reset and even reinstalling the driver, but it seems to be a hardware problem. My device is already passed it is guaranteed and I am entirely willing to open if necessary, because I have knowledge in electronics. What can we do?

    Hi @XtheHunter,

    Welcome to the HP forums! Is a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP. I saw the post and understand that there are problems of scanning with the printer. I'll be more than happy to help you here.

    First of all, you have diagnosed the problem perfectly that the scan feature does not work. Great job on this point. Kudos to you. It is always a privilege to work with customers technically very. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you. We value your relationship with HP and want to better serve you.

    First of all, it looks like a hardware problem with the printer. We will isolate the problem correctly.

    Please make some copies directly from the printer without any communication to the computer.

    Place the copy face down on the flat and press the copy button. If the copy is fine, then the question might be software related.

    If there are problems with copy, then try to copy again with a set of different cartridges to further isolate the issue. They copy very well if we could solve the problems for software related issues.

    I'll send you the steps to perform a semi full reset as a private message. Please look for the messages also. Sometimes it is useful to correct the situation.

    If it does not correctly copy, then the printer must be repaired by contacting the HP support by phone. Link: http://hp.com/contacthp

    Please try to copy from the charger bed and document scanner to further isolate the issue.

    If the problem is with the document feeder, then you can still use the scanner flat and vice versa to work around the problem.

    I will send you the links of service manuals for the printer that could be useful.

    Link 1: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-officejet-4500-all-in-one-printer-series-g510/3919445/manuals

    I hope this helps. I would like to know how this happens. I really hope that the problem is solved without hassle and the unit works very well. Please reach out for questions and I'll be there for you help.

    Just to say thank youPlease click the ' Thumbs Up ' button to give a Kudos to appreciate my efforts to help me. If it helps, Please mark this "accepted Solution" because it will help many other people with the same problem to get it resolved without hassle.

  • Windows with DC5100 Desktop problem

    I have a HP DC5100 with Windows 7 installed, before I did the format I am using XP. The problem I have is that the computer does not restart with the restart button of Windows7 or when you install a software that needs to restart. I had no problem with xp, doing so, do not know what is the problem?. I did a bios update to 1.08. Has anyone seen this problem or any suggestions on fixing this. When I hit the button reboot stops the computer ok but hangs up on reboot, looks like the drive is rotating and the fans are running, but don't do anything?

    Thank you

    You are the very welcome.

    Sorry, it has not worked. You could try to reinstall W7 and see if you get a different result the second time around.
