Display/appearance properties doesn't let me choose the XP Style for windows and menu items, etc.

My XP Pro crashed, and the only solution was a re - format and re-install. Once back online, updates installed (64 of them!) and one or more of them now changed my appearance Office (from blue to gray, boxy... classic windows XP theme around the time of Win 95), display/appearance properties refuses to allow me to choose the XP Style. How can I fix?

Thank you

    Mail doesn't let me choose a signature. 'Choose the signature' is set to 'none' and don't highlight everything I entered.

    In the Mail menu bar, select

    ▹ mail preferences... ▹ Signatures

    The preferences window has now three components. On the left, the signatures are grouped by e-mail account, plus one group all the Signatures in the upper part. Select this group.

    The middle pane now displays the names you gave to all the signatures you set. After selecting one, the right pane shows a preview of the signature.

    In the center pane, select all the signatures that you want to use in a particular account. You can make multiple selections by holding down the SHIFT key or command clicking. Drag and drop the selection on the account name in the left pane.

    If you want a special signature automatically added to all messages sent from an account, select the account, and then select in the menu choose Signature at the bottom of the window.

  • Adobe Muse doesn't let me change the States of thumbnails in a lightbox.

    Muse doesn't let me change the States of thumbnails for my lightbox. The only thing that it is allowing me to do the right now is to change the opacity of each State. I would like to than the 'normal' State of my nail of the thumb to be a solid color, the "Rollover" State to reveal the image that is displayed in the Viewer, the State of "mouse down" to be another solid color and the 'active' State of being of the same color together as a 'normal' State I changed the color, and I even tried to fill it with a real image with a solid color file. Nothing will work - the State remains just to display the main images in the thumbnails. I would appreciate help! I don't understand why it won't work. States work for everything else.

    Hello

    With startup, if you add a picture as a thumbnail then it could appear as hero image.

    We cannot install according to States with the thumbnails of the images, any image or fill added to the would be added as a background image. You can change the image of the active panel, but still we can not install different images with the States.

    Better idea would be to use the composition where you can set up reports for the triggers and the images separate targets.

  • Since I installed the Mavericks, bridge doesn't let me see the Bridge preferences - I get a write permission

    Since I installed the Mavericks, bridge doesn't let me see the Bridge preferences - I get an error write permissions


    I fixed the permissions, but that did not help


    No other problems


    I need to enter the bridge prtfs to have an app at first to the top of the bridge

    Hold down the option key while restarting bridge and choose Reset prefs.

    If this is not possible or does not work leave bridge and go to the library to the user (hidden by default, use menu go with option in the Finder) and in the folder Preferences remove the manual of bridge plist file to the Trash:

    User / Library / Preferences? Adobe.com.Bridge (xx) .plist

    Then try again with new option key and reset the prefs.

    Otherwise, create a new user account to test and check if it works from there. If so consider using the MacOSX recovery disk to repair your user account. Read the instructions carefully before acting and save the files and settings important first al

  • MS Money 2007 on Win XP doesn't let me connect online telling me that Windows Live cannot check my login information.

    MS Money 2007 on Win XP doesn't let me connect online telling me that Windows Live cannot check my login information.  It happened all of a sudden in the last days.  I have yet to receive a response to this problem that works.  Everybody doesn't know how to fix this?

    The same question in the Windows 7 forum - and it worked

    1. Start Money
    2. In the connect to open your Money file page, type your Windows Live ID credentials, select thework offline check box and then clickNext

      Note If you have recently changed your Windows Live ID password until you have used the money, make sure you use the last password that worked with money. Based on your version of Money, your experience may be different. Basically, start, get the error of not being able to connect and continue so that you get cash itself

    3. On the file menu, click Password Manager (for Money 2002, clickconnection security box ), and then clickRemove .

      Note If you are prompted to disable MSN Money Web access, follow these steps, and then repeat step 3.

    4. Click disable this Passport for use in money , and then clickNext. Again once, different versions of money show different dialog boxes - the key is that you want to delete automatically connect with your live account.
    5. Click Finish , and then wait for the process of change in the credentials to fill.
    6. Click OK .
    7. Output of money.

    Once you disable the passport for use in Money and restart, you can resume your access to all of your financial institutions.  You will not however be able to be synchronized with MSN Money, which is the purpose of doing in the first place. I found that you can always update your accounts as you have always done and during the stock market always automatically up-to-date.

    I am in yahoo mail and there is a window that has the windows displayed and I can click on one of the images of a window and it will restore the window how to access this window (size full one who possesses a collection of previous windows in a complete graph/no format)?
    The window that I write the topic is a collection of previous windows images in a smaller size.

    Firefox has a feature to view all your open tabs in one or more groups of tabs. You can show and hide this screen by pressing Ctrl + Shift + e. Is this the one you see, or something different?

    If you ended up with more than a group of tabs and you want to consolidate them, you can drag the thumbnail images all in one group.

    More information: use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs.

  • HP pavilion 15-e034tx: how to choose the right RAM for laptop

    How to choose the right RAM for my laptop (Pavilion 15-e034tx). I know I should buy DDR3 ram.

    Are there other factors should I consider when buying one? I got 2 slots for ram, which od these combos are possible?

    1-4 + 4 GB
    2-4 GB + 8 GB
    3-8 GB + 8 GB

    Thank you

    From the Manual:

    Two customer accessible/upgradable memory module slots

    Support for dual channel DDR3L (1600 MHz)

    Support 8192 MB RAM system in the following configurations:

    8192 MB (8192 MB × 1, × 4096 MB 2)

    Manual download link

    See page 53 for instructions. Memory access is easy via the service Panel. This is the part number for the approved 4 HP concert module:

    4 GB (PC3L, 12800, 1600 MHz) 691740-001

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-691740-001-4GB-1600MHz-PC3L-12800/DP/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1451655870 & SR = 8-2 & Keywords = 691740-001

    A 8 GB module is listed in the manual, and it's a 3rd generation of processor i5 I suspect 2 x 8 = 16 concerts would work, but strictly following the manual your only option is to add a 4 GB for a total of 8. Most users really not more 8 GB and adding a second identical module will allow two-channel operation, so you should see a noticeable jump in the overall performance.
