• Mount vmdk Explorer windows host Win 7

  This may sound crazy, but I swear that you were able to mount and unmount a vmdk on a host of Win 7 Explorer windows by right clicking on it and say things to mount. And take it apart you would right click on the drive letter mapped of the vmdk and him would have him say to unplug. At least I seem to remember it with Workstation 7. Then I started thinking maybe I confusing me with installation of the plugin or Acronis backup third-party windows that allows you to mount a hard drive virtual windows Explorer. If I was dreaming or did I miss something. Thanks in advance!

• Open windows Explorer, in my computer (disc mode)

  I remember a point by opening Explorer windows as my computer (disc mode) in Windows 7, where you can update the shortcut from the menu start through the property browser and changing the target.

• Firefox crashes when you open a windows Explorer window

  I had this problem for 2 days, every time Firefox opens a windows Explorer window it would completely freeze, so every time I have try to save an image, look for a file/folder and so on. The problem started last night, but I had not added Add ons for firefox, plugins or installed new software on my pc. I tried to leave firefox alone when he did freeze to see if it be sorted, but when I went to check on it four hours later it was still frozen.

  My current operating system is Windows Vista, with a fresh install of the latest Firefox. Before I reinstalled it, I tried to launch reseting Firefox in safe mode, and delete my history, which none worked, neither does the new installation solved my problem.

  I just did a scan of my PC virus and it seems that the problem has been corrected, if someone else has this problem, scan your pc for viruses and to get rid of them, I hope that the problem should disappear as it has done for me.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• WHY my internet explore Windows keep crash

  I constantly get this problem of windows internet expolrer knows a failure and closure. I paid for this service, help me or I'll go somewhere else.

  Method 3: Run Internet Explorer in "no Add-ons" mode

  Add-on Internet Explorer, such as ActiveX controls and browser toolbars, are used by some Web sites to provide a better browsing experience. An error may occur if an add-on is damaged or if an add-on conflicts with Internet Explorer. To determine if the error is caused by an add-on, run Internet Explorer in "no Add-ons" mode To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and then type Internet Explorer in the box to start the search.
  2. Click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). Internet Explorer opens without Add-ons, toolbars, or plug-ins.
  3. Test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly. If problems still occur, try Method 4.

  If no error occurs, the problem is caused by one of the Add-ons that typically load with Internet Explorer. In this case, use one of the following options.

  Option 1: Reset Internet Explorer

  Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled. To reset Internet Explorer settings, use method 4.

  Option 2: Use the add-on management tool to determine which add-on is causing the problem

  Use the tool of management of Add-ons in Internet Explorer to individually disable each add-on to determine which add-on is causing errors. To do this, follow these steps:

  Internet Explore 7

  1. Open Internet Explorer 7.
  2. Click Tools, point to manage add-ons and then click Enable or disable add-ons.
  3. In the box display, select Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer to display all the modules that are installed on the computer.
  4. For each item in this list, select the add-on, and then click on disable under settings.
  5. When you have disabled all the items in this list, click OK.
  6. Quit and then restart Internet Explorer 7.
  7. If the problems do not occur, repeat steps 1 to 3.
  8. Click Activate for a simple add-on.
  9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you determine which add-on causes errors occur.

  Internet explore 8

  1. Open Internet Explorer 8.
  2. Click Tools, and then click Manage Add-ons.
  3. In the drop-down view menu, select all add-ons to display all the modules that are installed on the computer.
  4. For each item in this list, select the add-on, and then click disable in the information window.
  5. When you have disabled all the items in this list, click OK.
  6. Quit and then restart Internet Explorer.
  7. If the problems do not recur, repeat steps 1 to 3.
  8. Click Activate for a simple add-on.
  9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you determine which add-on causes errors occur.

• Hi, I'm Amir Ahmad Amiri 16 years of Afghanistan, my windows is Win 7 home Premium, and I have a usrer of the admin who is protected by myself.

  Hi, I'm Amir Ahmad Amiri 16 years of Afghanistan, my windows is Win 7 home Premium and I have a usrer of the admin who is protected by myself and I forgot the password of the user account of the said. The guest account is disabled and I have no CD to repair. Please help me!

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  A Windows repair CD is absolutely essential if you decide to do maintenance on your own PC. It takes only three minutes to burn a via the control panel / backup and restore. You have these options:

  • Burn it on another computer.
  • Borrow one from a friend.
  • Purchase one here: http://systemdiscs.com/
