• Update XP or office 7, made my dumb computer

  installed XP twice, lost his card after an update on XP or Office 7.  thinking it was my installation, I installed again.  Same thing happened that after the upgrade has been installed.  No sound system, not even from CD play.  My Manager diving equipment tells me everything is going well and all the drivers are loaded.  All sound systems are on.

  Have you checked the volume control, maybe it's been cut off or something?

  1. open the control panel in the start menu.
  2. click on the Speech sounds and Audio Devices icon. (Or, depending on how your control panel is set up, click sounds and Audio devices.)
  3. click on "Adjust the system volume."

• What is the difference of acer identify you and Microsoft account! I'm very computer dumb.

  I have problems to know if there is a difference in an acer account and a microsoft account or there is no difference? I like to play games on facebook. my internet is slow because I can't afford to go faster, sometimes it seems that I have 2 different computers in one. I don't know if anyone understands what I mean.

  Acer sign is for the Acer site. Forums, your Acer account, etc. On behalf of MS is, it's just that. It connects you to Microsoft and has nothing to do with Acer.

  Thanks for your help!  I can't get this thing going.  I'm sure the answer is here, but I'm too Tech-dumb to understand.  I'll tell you that the problem is solved.  However, I will take the computer to a small service center in my area.  They are good, fast and inexpensive.  I'm sure that it is a minor problem and they will have my office facing up and running without delay.  Moreover, there is no LED light at the back of this particular model.  Thanks again!

• HP desktop computer - 460-p024nz: lateral clearance for ventilation

  Hi all

  I have a question for the community where maybe someone can you help. Because of the way my office is built PC case is close to 2.5 cm on the side of the ventilation for the wood of the office.

  I read that the minimum clearance should be approximately 15cm, so I was wondering if I can leave my 2.5 cm.

  Then I thought that something stupid; the CD player is vertical, so in theory the PC could be placed upside and ventilation would be on the free side. Is there a particular reason why the PC could not work effectively and without any impact on reliability?

  The obvious answer... buy a new office is not currently

  Thank you for the help

  Thank you for the information, @fogarty01.  Sorry, I missed that part of the question.

  Not a dumb question!, but it is never recommended to transform a computer inside.  Components in most of them are intended to be executed in the sense that they are installed.  Therefore, please do not.

• An area or a window, black, flashing around the screen, preventing the normal operation of the computer.

  I have a flashing and move the black box. In addition, a little black "bug" moving on the blue bar at the bottom of the screen. I stopped him temporarily. It says "the application could not initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application. "When I do the flashing box back and kind of takes the P.C., preventing a 'normal' operation of the computer. Any thoughts, please? As you can tell I am ignorant with respect of the computers please dumb it down for me? Thank you.

  At the moment, it seems to be contained in a box titled "cmd.exe - Application error.

  Can I get rid of this or should I consider for repairs, once again?

  Thank you, Alan

  I turned on the computer this morning and "PRESTO!" It has been fixed! I just figured (assumed) the fairy Magic computer was coming over the magic fairy dust at night and sprinkled on the keyboard and instantly, better everything! Ridicule me.

  Joking aside, this means - it has declined and is still in my system, lie dormant, so to speak? He wasn't there this morning. I honestly thought that Microsoft Security had just sent an update and just sort of 'fixed' it. I am both ignorant and naïve.

  Don't tell the bad guys, or I'll be marked, "EASY!" as a target.

  Should I just leave well enough, only? As in, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

  Or I followed the procedures laid out for me in the above section?

  I know I'm not very clear. I'm sorry.

  Hi spiffincat,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  Have you tried the game in Internet Explorer?

  If this isn't the case, I will recommend you to try the game in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

• Computer cannot detect the camera.

  I had a Powershot A590 and can connect to my HP, but now when I try to download images of the computer indicates that it can not detect my camera.

  Thank you for your help, but the problem is corrected. First drive F is suddenly reappeared on my screen with the other readers in 'Computer' then I tried to fix the F drive by looking at the disk F "Portable devices" in Device Manager, but he could not solve the problem.

  Then I restored the system about 3 weeks ago. Could still see the F drive, computer and now has managed to fix in portable devices in the Disk Manager. Then the camera pops up beside the car F in the list of phone devices & now I can download to the device.

  Thanks for trying, but it seems that perseverance, dumb luck and ignorance has saved the day.

  Still don't know why the F drive disappeared in the first place.

• Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware of this computer Installation error on the new hard drive

  Okay so if please bear with me and be patient.  I'm not tech savvy.  I know enough to be able to remove an old hard drive and put another one, but when there are errors, I don't know what to do.

  Here's the situation.

  I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 installed.  I started having these notifications that my hard drive could be a failure.  I tried everything that I could find to fix it without having to buy a new HARD drive without success.  The current system has a 1 TB Seagate hard drive.  I installed a memory additional bar thingie right after that I got the computer about 4 years ago.  (If someone tells me how to find the properties of real system, I post them if necessary).  Anyway, I bought a new WD 1 TB black disk hard to install before my old dies and loses all my photos and documents, etc...

  I took the old drive yesterday and installed the new hard drive.  I put back the case and turned on the machine.  I put in my Windows 7 installation disc.  He began installing Windows 7... It's completely past the initial screen where it says it to load it and the other... I had accepted the license agreement, but did not have to make a profile and do the work and the reader.  I hope all this makes sense.  Then it pops up this message "installing Windows could not set up Windows on hardware on this computer."  I couldn't figure out what to do from there.  I got the new drive and put the old one back to and here I am. I tried to find solutions to this problem, but I either don't can't make heads or tails out of the responses on the internet or the solution is not exactly my problem.

  Please help if you can!  And if you have any suggestions, please dumb them down so I can understand what to do.  I CAN do if loaded, you just have to not talk too irritable.  Laughing out loud

  Thank you in advance!

  Maybe not...

  The Windows installation is not happy about something, and since it gets at least started which is a good thing, but your installation problem can not really be with Windows - perhaps something about Dell hardware or your 1 TB HARD drive.

  I looked at your system and found this article that you can read to see if it sounds like your original question:

  Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer.

  http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN293812/en

  Since Dell has written an article for help on this subject, it means they've met enough times to take the time to compose the article and put it on their WWW site (but, they say, it is a possible resolution).

  Could you take the issue in the Dell online community where experts hang out (especially your amber light).

  Another good place for support is www.bleepingcomputer.com where there is a similar topic as your question (except Vista) on a Dell and a new disk of 1 TB (also a Seagate) and Dell ideas did not work, but someone else has found a way to fix it:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/453378/installation-fails-to-complete-on-new-HDD/

  The bleepingcomputer for your error message search reveals other areas and people who have got things to work in different ways, then it is perhaps another place to look for ideas.

  If the installation still fails it would not hurt to do the BIOS setting and see if things are getting longer, and since you are going to write the current settings before proceeding with the adjustment you can always cancel the adjustment if things get worse.

• HP Laserjet 200: Where can I find my printer on my computer?

  This may seem like a dumb question, but where can I find my printer on my computer? I recently installed a new HP laserjet printer and want to scan a picture, but I got an error of scanning (he says it did not scan). I opened an icon on the bottom, but the product he worked with was my old printer that I not connected to my computer no more. It there was only one option for the printer in the menu dropdown. However, I was able to print documents and photos of my new printer. My last printer, a HP inkjet, also gave me an error message whenever I tried to analyze something. I want to find a place on my computer, where he gives information where things are, as the material. I know it's here somewhere that I recently was there, but can't seem to remember how I got there. Thanks for any help. I'm looking specifically for assistance installing the scanner of the printer part.

  System preferences, and then click Printers & Scanners
