error: "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket"
Suddenly, I have no connection to my pc which is connected directly to my d-link cable. Other computers that use wireless have no problem. My system shows "the network has not assigned a network address of the computer"... then I tried, by messages on this site, to run cmd and ipconfig/renew and ipconfig/release. After renew, I get an error "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket".
Hi sdams,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. do you have security software installed on the computer?
This error would occur if the Winsock registry keys are damaged or corrupted.
Refer to the article below and reset the Winsock settings to default and see if it helps.

HPPhotosmartEssentials.msi and can't make repairs on something that are not installed error
This prevents the busy when starting windows installer... I reinstalled the HP printing software again and again and I get all green checkmarks with the diagnosis of HP, the eq seems to work perfectly. When pointing the file in a temporary folder, it is said cannot perform repairs on something that is not installed. When you point to the .msi on the original disk file, it does nothing. WHAT ARE THE XP REGISTRY KEYS TO REMOVE THIS NUISANCE?
It would be I think that it is somehow a bug in the HP upgrade process that will not remove previous versions. I think I have a hpphotosmartessential version 3.5 open now.
It's not urgent that I can click cancle 1000 times before windows finally gets the trick.
I have read enough about it and continued each method to remedy this and I'M NOT GOING through ANOTHER afternoon OF RE - INSTALLING SOFTWARE from THE DISC.
I expect an HP engineer to answer this before someone else, that says something I've already read, don't.
This must be a registry entry that is not processed during installation and upgrade.
Because I didn't misplace the entry or move, I expect you to know where he is and I wish to eliminate or make a change to one of its key...
Thatnk you in advance!
Note: Make sure to create a registry backup Open regedit, file > export & save Office
To access this location:
Click on start then run type regeditRegister window opens
Click on + and then HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Installer/products
Select any folder under products, then click in the right pane you will see the name of the product (WebFldrs XP) usually where the status, Solution Center, Scan, Destinations and etc. So check each folder under products if you find the name of the product that keeps popping up delete the folder and that will solve the problem or you can use Ctrl + Find and all the msi name box that keeps the popup type & remove the folder itself
It is the shortest method to solve the problem without uninstalling/reinstalling software.
If the problem is not resolved it's time, you will need to uninstall/reinstall the software.

Nancy Drew games - get this error message: Init DirectDraw(), screen buffer to create Surface() - cannot create a DirectDraw Surface. Hardware closing - DDERR_NODIRECTDRAWHW - one game only DirectDraw object creation was attempted, but the driver did not support any hardware.
Any suggestions?
Hi gkfuller,
Have you followed the steps that I recommended above? If this isn't the case, please do and check the result.
Step 1: Remove the game completely:
If the above steps do not work, uninstall and reinstall the game should solve this problem.
How to change or remove a program in Windows XP
After you have uninstalled the game, check that all the game files have been removed from your computer. The remaining game files will be in one of the following locations (depending on the title of the game and your operating system):
C:\Nancy drew
C:\Program Files\Nancy Drew
For XP: Folder 'My Documents' (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Mes Documents)For more details, see: Impossible to uninstall using Add/Remove Programs
Step 2: Reinstall the game
To install the game manually, see the steps in the article below.

regular expression for something that does not have a fixed sequence
Hello
Just having a little trouble with a regular expression. I have an input string and I want to find something that is not this string, so
Input = Hello
Match = Hello
Football game? = False
Entry = Hello1
Match = Hello
Football game? = False
Input = Hello
Match = goodbye
Football game? = True
As I thought that I understood it, to enter as a regular expression in the regular Expression.vi of Match would be ~ (Hello).
If I understand as well, I can't do this by using the match pattern.
Maybe you good people can correct me. Thank you!

I am running with "Backup and Restore" backups in Windows 7 Professional and constantly get this error in the logs:
Backup has encountered a problem during the practical C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Blender file backup. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))
"Practical Blender" is a folder I previously removed documents and backup should not be looking for it. I tried to remove the job from the scheduled backup with Windows Task Scheduler and create and execute a new backup job, but the problem goes away. It is only this specific file gives me this problem. I deleted the other folders of Documents before and since it was started without any problem of backup.Is it possible that I can stop backup to find this file that does not exist?
What happens when you recreate this folder?

I had a lot of trouble with my vista system (the most recent is an error code 80070017 when you try to install the update IE-9). I ran sfc.exe/scannow and have a CBS file with several currupt files that are not fixed. I'm over my head from the experience now. Can someone help me? Thank you!
Original title: Vista files corrupt
Try to run in safe mode.
If there are files corrupted again after that, you can mount the image file .iso for the same version of Windows, you probably Vista SP2 - OR - put the disc in the drive.
(Make sure same version x 86 or x 64 also!)
Then use 7zip to look in the file \Sources\install.wim for files without a problem. Copy and paste from here directly on those on your HARD drive.

The computer starts without the OS disc in the drive but then flashes this message and restarts constantly.
Hi Sys_builder,
Thanks for posting. Your operating system has already started successfully? If she has, I would say running a repair installation. If he ever started successfully, I guess you have bad media or bad material somewhere. I would check with the manufacturer of the hard drive to see if they have diagnostic utilities.
I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions. Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

I already checked to make sure that the sound card works and that it is not silent. I don't know what else to do - it used to work perfectly. My sound mixer has described "device" and "requests" and I know there were formerly sections in the mixer. Help!
Hi MelodyK1968,
· What is the service pack installed on the computer?
· What is the number and the model of the computer?
Check the State of the audio device in Device Manager. Follow the steps for the same thing:
a. click on start
b. click Run, in the Run dialog box type devmgmt.msc
(c) in the Device Manager window, look for the video audio player and game controllers and expand drive, double-click the sub element to check if an error message or error code is listed.
Run the fix it from the link below and check off the results: no sound in Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/no-sound-in-windows

I have a card to the address C:\Users\Me\Documents\Dreamweaver\mysite called index.php.
This page contains pictures and videos I captured, but have not yet gotten a parole form to (I form and the customer said they will sign, I've not only bypassed to send again). Therefore, I want to save a copy of index.php in C:\Users\Me\Documents\Dreamweaver\mysite_media_removed, remove the pictures and videos, I have a release for and download this version. This way I can maintain a version with images, just download and overwrite when I'll have the sent form.
The problem? When I save in a folder that is outside of my site (any folder, I tested with multiple pages and sites), I see the following error message:
This * only * happens when I save in a folder outside my site. If I register, say, C:\Users\Me\Documents\Dreamweaver\mysite\media_removed, there is no error. The strange thing is, this error seems to have no impact on what it is. All my pages are fine, including the saved in the other file copy, the copy does not throw this error when I save it and the program continues to operate. In fact, the only point negative impact is the annoying error message. But I still want to know how to fix it.
I suggest you save into your folder of local site with a different file name - media_removed.html. Or put it in a subfolder in the folder of your local site.

I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?
Hello
If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:
- Type of topic: config in the address bar.
- A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
- Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
- Double-click the item that appears.
- Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).
(I have attached a screenshot).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
