Grayed out to apply button sound properties

Recently, I cleaned up my registry and find now I'm unable to use the button apply in the sound properties. When I right click the speaker icon in the status bar and go to playback devices I can define what device I want a default, but cannot apply. I use usb headphones and I switch between them and my speakers. the same problem happens in the recording tab and the tab sounds, not having not although this problem anywhere else. I'm sure it's a registry problem as I cleaned it a few hours before, I noticed the problem.

also when I test the speakers or the headphones, both work well, so I know this isn't a problem of driver or something like that.

also tried some registy different programs, but no joy of fixing

any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Ugh! Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the

do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and

Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.

The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
good deal.

You have used many snake oil programs? Double Ugh!

  • Gray text animation 'Apply' button

    PRE 8.0.1 normally does not allow me animate text. I got the button text will apply to light up once or twice, but he doesn't not apply the animation after making it.

    If I click the text box on 'on' or 'inside' of the text box or even highlight the text in a text box and then clicking on an animation, the button apply lights up rarely.

    I re - Parry 8.0.1 PRE does not. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my pair of GTX 295 in an Alienware Area 51 with 6 GB of RAM, a 5 TB HD running Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    Surely it is not my PC system or software Adobe is?

    I hope that I am simply not clicking the right thing in the right sequence. Any thoughts?

    As Bill says:

    1. don't have only one line of text

    2. make sure that you have selected the text or highlight all of the text block.

    3. Select an animation.

    It's surprising how many people neglect to select the text frame and the animation before attempting to apply the Animation to text!

  • Settings grayed out when passing over 4 properties in a cluster

    I created a VI that crosses a certain number of parameters to TS a cluster, however, he is unable to execute the sequence, and I cannot change the parameter settings because they are all disabled.

    It seems that it works very well when I pass 3 or less parameters in the cluster, but as soon as I add the 4th that it no longer accepts the cluster as an input.

    Any ideas on why the number of cluster members seems to be limited to 3? or is there any magical setting I failed to locate him?

    Thank you in advance for your time and help!

    In the old days of TestStand, there was a fixed prototype to call LabVIEW steps.  One of the valid parameters was a TestData cluster composed of these four elements.  To maintain backward compatibility when we moved to have a flexible adapter, groupings of this type are automatically mapped to the locations described in the step.

    If your cluster is different from the structure of Test data, it should allow you to change the settings.

  • "console View" is grayed out when the user is sharing with another user config

    The subject pretty much sums up it. LM 4.0 running and some of my users have stated that when they share configs they have with other users (in the same organization), the added users cannot "Console Mode". It is grayed out. I checked the properties of these roles and roles (the list of options is amazing) and returned to the LM 4.0 User Guide.

    I can't move. When the owner is going to share their config with a user, the only available access level is "read only". I have the same problem and I am a global system administrator.

    Why is this?

    I'm curious though; Under sharing, if you chose the ' users selected in the workspace: hand ' rahtner that ' everyone in the workspace: hand ' and then specify individual users, you are able to change their level of access to 'Edit' or 'total control '. On my setup, it seems that you cannot change the level of access beyond Read-Only "unless you are addressing the specific workspace.

  • What do you do when windows and buttons is gray out?

    Hi, my name is Rhionna and I have a problem on my Windows XP Service pack 3. Well, last night, I scanned my PC for registry errors there were some and I fixed them, but now I can not apply visual styles. Windows and buttons in properties is grey outside, it wasn't before but today I went to a link to a website to try to repair the files in my theme after that, it was gray would be out so what do I do? :(

    Registry cleaners are dangerous programs.  I do not recommend their use for these sorts of reasons.  Your best bet at the moment is to restore your registry to a time before you had this problem using "System Restore".  One of these two methods, you should get going again.

  • How can I unlock folder when applying the option is grayed out?

    I used an HDMI cable to connect my computer to the TV.  My screen went black.  I finally got my computer back screen, but some got locked folders.  I dropped the idea of linking my TV and computer because the TV is old and I don't want two monitors.

    I just read on unlocking using properties files and the tab share.  My Documents folder contains the my music (unlocked) folder and a folder my music locked (locked).  The same thing with my pictures, and my videos.  I discovered this when I tried to open an image in Paint and got this error message.  "The location is not available."

    When I tried to unlock folder my pictures, in properties, Security tab, to apply option is grayed out.  I also tried the sharing tab and it was also disabled.  I don't know much about the records and did not know that my music, my pictures, and my videos were located in the My Documents folder, but perhaps noticed them there before.  I often forget things.

    I really regret trying to connect my computer and TV; my computer screen is very nice to watch movies.  I just bought the TV rabbit and became obsessed by the idea.  It was a bad idea because my TV was not made for her.

    Other that the appearance of an icon of padlock on certain issues, you actually have problems to access the files?

    As far as I KNOW, the lock on the Folders icon has nothing to do with the use of an HDMI cable, but the way in which the folder is shared (or possibly who 'owns' the folder).  I've seen several explanations and methods to remove the icon of the lock, but unless it's really you cause problems, I suggest doing nothing.

    These may (or may not) be useful:

  • Console Remote button grayed out for M605 blades seen CMC

    Hello

    When connected to the CMC and look at a preview/properties/server status, M605 blades show the Remote Console as grayed out button, but the button iDRAC is normal.

    At the start of the iDRAC a blade, the Console tab can be selected and the Console launched very well. So nothing wrong with the connection to the console.

    • How the key of Remote Console can be enabled from the CMC? Why is greyed out?

    (BTW, in a chassis mixed with M610 and M605, of the M610 all show the button Console remotely normally, but the M605 are greyed out)?

    Thx for your help,

    John Bradshaw

    John,

    The M605 is a blade of more early liberated. The M610 is actually cut, everything that follows the M610 will support the launch of the Console remotely from the CMC. The M600 and M605 does not support, but can be launched from the Drac.

  • Why the Build button is grayed out?

    CS 5.5 MC, S & T ed. Yet 5.1. Win7Pro64.

    My first attempt using again. Try to burn a project Premiere Pro 30 minutes of a / v clips and photos on a DVD SD without creating a directory. Want just the movie DVD + RW burned to play instantly.
    Follow the instructions in step 6 that is to click Build, but it is grayed out. I registered this sequel in 2012. What I don't understand?
    It might have something to do with settings in the properties panel? I'm not sure they should be, because they are not addressed in 5 steps. In any case, I clicked project check and got 2 errors, so I put the first Stop, play the same as the title button. Chronology of the hand is not defined. Operations: No permit. Had no error when I clicked on project to check again.
    Also, as suggested in another post, I tried to change out of build Panel to record DVD and Image, but generate button is still gray.
    I accepted all settings by default when the release was made on a DVD disc.

    The panels menus and timelines are empty. Not transcoded first Pro Sequence.prproj 1920 x 1080, 59,94 frames per second is on the project Panel. The miniature film plays normally on the project Panel. Flowchart panel shows a DVD icon.

    In addition, in the project settings dialog box, the name: Unitilted.ncor is grayed out. I don't know how to change this name.

    Thank you

    What are the instructions you follow?

    If your editing panel is empty, you have no chronology of l. And some of what you set (for example 'first reading' 'Stop') is incorrect. When you want a DVD with no menu and play the video at the start, you set the first play on your Timeline.

    Once you create the project again, you can no longer change its name. You can do a save as and change it.

    In the project Panel, select the order of Professor go in the menu timeline, and then create the timeline. Set the action to the end of the new timeline 'Stop' if that's what you want, or to himself if you want to keep repeating.
