• HP ENVY 14 LAPTOP - cannot change the color of the menu of win 7

  Right now I know it is a HP support forum but I have a HP laptop and desktop and I really hope someone here can help me really...

  Good one a few months ago I bought a HP Envy 14 laptop and I must say that I really liked it. Then a few days ago, I just bought a HP desktop computer (can tell you I'm a fan of HP) and I love it also.

  Here's my problem...

  On my desk, I decided to change her look, so I installed a custom theme (dark theme) and it changes the appearance of windows 7 and changed the color of the lower menu/taskbar of windows 7 in black and I really liked it. I decided to install this theme on my laptop and everything has changed except for the background color of menu/taskbar of windows 7 botom. For some reason any will not change the color of the menu bit matter what I do.

  I tried to go to:

  Panel-> personalization-> change the color of window glass

  and by selecting a different color but not matter what color I select windows 7 background menu/taskbar does not change it remains just the grayish color of say her since I got the laptop.

  Now, why this work on my desktop but not on my laptop?

  There must be a setting on windows 7 that prevents me to change the color of the lower menu/taskbar. Still worse firefox is horrible. I can not change the appearance of firefox, whenever I have try and install a new firefox theme does not change. On my desk, I installed a dark theme for firefox 11 (the Nasa Night Launch) theme and it worked very well but for some reason any on my laptop, nothing seems to work just...

  I really hope that someon can help me with this because it makes me crazy...

  I want to thank you all for your time and help,

  gh0st-HP

  DragonFur, I want to thank you for your time and your answers, you should know that it meant a lot to me.

  After doing a lot of work and trial and error, I finally found a solution to this problem...

  I did a lot of googling and research and what I found is that there are many people out there who are owners of laptop HP Envy 14 who have trouble changing the color of their windows 7 start menu/taskbar or with the taskbar is not not transparent.

  Here are some of the things I tried.

  1 Installing different themse (did not work)

  2. Update driver for ati radeon 5650 graphics card (did not work)

  3 tried to adjust areo ensuring transparency has been activated (did not work)

  4. tried to bios update (did not work)

  5 tried to use a program to change the color of the bar tasks (did not work)

  What I ended up doing is creating a new user to the administrator and when I created this account is a program called "stardock mypaint" come asking me if I wanted to use this program to change the original theme for windows. When I said this software to change the original theme of windows 7, it changed my taskbar to the greyish appearance, it was the same off-white color I had on my account I tried to change. So I went back to my account and I searched for the program "stardock mypaint" and I have disabled this theme and then he changed my windows operating system 7 to an original blue theme but the taskbar was transparent! Then I went into my themes and changed the theme I wanted and my taskbar has changed color and transparency! Needless to say I was so happy.

  I really hope that this post will really help someone else who is trying to solve this problem...

  HP I really hope that maybe you guys can watch this program "Stardock MyPaint" which I think may be for HP Envy 14 laptop computers and allow users to know that the use of this program can affect other issues.

  Isn't funny how the solution to the problem is always the simplest answer...

  I knew there was something in the windows that kept my taskbar to be transparent and changing colors and it turns out it was a program of HP.

  Yet once I really hope this helps someone else out there and I'm hoping that HP employees this will read so maybe they can help each other if someone falls on this problem.

  DragonFur, thanks again for your help...

  Hello

  I just got a laptop with windows 7 on it and I want to connect to my other PC for it, they are on the same network through a router. the PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Cannot change the password for my wireless connection

  The wireless router has changed the key and I need to change the key/password on my windows computer 7, but it is not letting me.

  Usually on other computers, you can right-click the connection wireless from the taskbar and it will give you options of 'Connect' and 'Properties' (and you can change it in the properties).  But on this computer, there is no 'Properties' option, simply connect.  How can I get the Properties tab?

  You use a third-party wireless instead of Windows Manager? If to check with the manufacturers support site or your user manual for assistance to change the properties of the wireless network.

  You could also, last spring, just remove the existing profile and then re-create it with the new encryption key.

  Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
  Thank you

  This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

• The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

  OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

  I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

  After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

  Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

  Nothing else was changed.

  I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

  Error again.

  I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

  Error again.

  1. status of /etc/init.d/VMware

  Networking networking on/dev/vmnet0 is running

  Invited only on/dev/vmnet1 network is running

  Network invited only on/dev/vmnet8 is running

  Responsible vmmon module

  Loaded module Vmnet

  FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

  What now?

  I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

  Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

  vmxvmdb: name of the Index generated by the configuration file

  POST (no connection): Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 138.0, obtained 168.0.

  You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

  Try reinstalling VMware Server.

  POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.

  Failed to initialize the virtual machine.

  End of the error message.

  I found several posts other people have this problem but

  they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem.  I found appeared

  to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for

  2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead.  Here is the link to the discussion

  Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.

  Thank you

  Hi imoffshore,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         When was the last time it worked?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

  ·         You get the error message?

  When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

  1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
  2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
  3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

  The options available for automatic updates.

  You must make some changes in the windows registry.

  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• You cannot change the format of the cursor

  Original title: mouse cursor

  Cannot change the format of the cursor; message says no file found - for example, C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\arrow\_rl.cur

  _rl.cur is not a slider that comes with XP. Nor is the folder named arrow. You must have installed a 3rd slider party system and I guess you are trying to change that.
  Try to reinstall it.

• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:
