    Hello everyone. I recently installed a Samsung SSD (hard solid state drive) in my destop PC. For some reason any Lightroom do not see? So I can't ingest pictures of her, or copy photos from a card itself. It is not listed as a player option. LR sees any other drive. My computer he sees very well, so I was able to create a catalog it. IM using windows 8.1. Any ideas? I would also add that this drive has become corrupted and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they did do a very good job......

    Update your video card drivers. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

    Your Internet drivers are not part of XP. If you bought the device from Dell, you have other records besides that reinstall drive? I had 3 machines from Dell and they all came with the CD of drivers among others.

    You don't offer a lot of information and a new thread of your own would have been better than locking it.
     
    Do you have an error message when you try to send? If so, post it. If this is not the case, make sure that there are no messages in the Outbox.
     
    If there is, check: file | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. You can remove them now?
     
    If this isn't the case, create a new Outbox.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.
  • MICROSOFT SAYS MY SYSTEM IS COMPATIBLE BY FAR, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THIS MODEL OF DELL DOES NOT ACCEPT IT.

    HELLO, I TRIED TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10 MONTHS NOW. MICROSOFT SAYS MY SYSTEM IS COMPATIBLE BY FAR, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THIS MODEL OF DELL DOES NOT ACCEPT IT. I HAVE A DELL STUDIO 540, X 64 BASED PC. PLEASE HELP, I REALLY WANT TO TRY WINDOWS 10.

    Original title: WIDOWS 10 UPDATE

    If Dell has said that it is not compatible, I wouldn't do it.  Dell needs to have the drivers and software for it or it is not working properly.  I would make sure you call, email or web-chat with Dell and ask them first.

    If you really want to try anyway (at your own risk), you can, but I suggest that do you a full picture of backup of your computer in order to "undo" that and go back to the way you are today if something is wrong or you don't like it.

  • For some reason any everything suddenly I can not export from lightroom to JPEG

    My desktop computer is fairly recent.  I was able to use lightroom and photoshop and able to export raw to JPEG without any problem until a week ago.  Lightroom allows me to edit, but when I choose to export it freezes for some reason any.  So I had to edit in lightroom to photoshop and export via photoshop, a pain a bit everyone can offer me guidance to fix.  Should I lightroom to uninstall and then reinstall?  I have no idea.

    Hi roimatab,

    Kindly update Lightroom for the last update of 2015.5.1 or 6.5.1 and check if this is useful. Keeping up-to-date in Lightroom

  • The numbers "could not open file for some reason any."

    Suddenly some of my documents of numbers prompt response "numbers" could not open file for some reason any ' "the document is unavailable. Other documents numbers remain accessible. My backup versions invites the same response when I try to open them. Is there a solution?

    Hello Fred,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to open all your files in numbers is for you!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot open some files of numbers even from backups, but others continue to work. To limit this problem, I would suggest starting with the following steps:

    1. first of all, run disk utility and check for questions on your hard drive, as hard drive problems can lead to situations like yours.

    Disk utility (Yosemite): a disc repair

    2. then, you can test this in a new user, to refine, if it's a question broad system or specific to your username.

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    See you soon!

  • Not all programs/Windows utilities are available for some reason any

    original title: data backup

    I have an old Windows XP home pc.  Not all programs/Windows utilities are available for some reason any.  Where can I find the Windows backup feature?  I want to save my data files.

    Windows backup is not installed by default on XP Home.  You can install it if you have a genuine Windows XP CD or if you download the full network for SP2 installation file: http://www.ntbackup.us/Articles/install-ntbackup-xp-home.htm

    I suggest, however, that you not install NTBackup, but rather get a cloning/disk imaging application.  What follows is not free, but you get what you pay for.  NTBackup has some limitations (on the one hand, you cannot use NTBackup to backup to the optical media).  NTBackup also is not used in Vista or Windows 7, but after much kicking and screaming, Microsoft made a utility to restore NTBackup for Vista and Win 7 for computers with these operating systems could at least read BKF files created by NTBackup.

    Acronis True Image Home
    Paragon Backup & Recovery Home
    Casper
    Norton Ghost
    O & O

    Ghost was the gold standard for imaging software, then became much less desirable, as well as with many Symantec products.  I understand that the current version is significantly improved.  Of the foregoing do not all have the same feature sets, but all should do a good job of backup and restore.  Some managers hard drive, such as Western Digital, do a version of one of these applications available for free if you use their readers.

  • I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessa

    I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessage, but when I click in the conversation, no text box for me to write as he does with everyone. It's driving me crazy. How should I do? The two contacts are in my address book and identified on my computer but I can't their message from my computer and have to keep spending on my phone to text their return. Their new messages are always also highlighted on my computer. In the photo I've included, you can see there is no text box for the text of the group with "Franny, dad."

    Thanks for any help!
