• Disable all the smoothing of the fonts in Windows 7 (ie: including the taskbar, menus, Control Panel, etc...)

  I would like to turn off completely all the fonts, straightening, smoothing, etc... on Windows 7. I struggle to read and it gives me a headache.

  Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. go to Windows 7 Basic theme. (No Aero).
  2. run the ClearType tuner. (It did not help. "I want to delete the font smoothing, not tweak it.)
  3 disable ClearType altogether. (Taskbar, menus, etc. are still sleek/anti-aliasing).
  4 unchecked "smooth edges of screen fonts" performance-> Visual effects. (The taskbar, help, Board policies, etc. remain smoothed).
  5 changed all my fonts Tahoma under personalize-> Windows Color
  6 using the regedit, added "Tahoma" as the first option under HKLM-> software-> Microsoft-> Windows NT-> current-> FontSubstitutes
  7 delete all fonts in/Windows/Fonts Segoe (had to take possession to do)
  8 deleted almost all foreign fonts in/Windows/Fonts (I was frustrated...)
  9. I tried to play with HKCU-> Panel-> Desktop-> FontSmoothingType (1 and 0) and FontSmoothing (1 and 0).
  10 tried to run my laptop to a non-native resolution (which makes even worse)

  The steps above has removed most fonts smoothing, the taskbar, dialogue, Control Panel, etc. boxes are still sleek/anti-aliasing. So far, the only way I found to completely turn off all smoothing is to switch to classic mode, which is unfortunate to delete any visual styles either. In short, I want Win7 fonts to render in a mode binary/full pixelated, with no blur rendering or subpixel gray.

  Help, please!

  Hi Ken,
  I hope that the typography of Win 7 team makes this optional 'functionality' of SP1. I'm holding out until then. But if you insist on using 7 before smoothing fonts is fixed, here's how to deal with registry fonts substitutes and UAC/protection system.
  Change under FontSubstitutes registry settings so that "Tahoma" appears before Segoe in all parameters of FontSubstitute. Then, appropriating the Windows directory (I took possession of all subdirectories and files, that may be excessive, but made other tweaking easier to deal with) delete Segoe. To appropriate, right-click on the Windows system folder, select 'Properties', click Security, advanced options, and then clik on owner in the advanced security settings... Click the button modify and change of owner to your own account. Do some "replace the subcontainer owner...". "is checked.
  It is an exaggeration, but it will get.

  P.S. If someone figure out how to remove the font smoothing in the taskbar for Win 7, I praise you for all time.

• How to restore the print spooler in the printers/faxes folder in Control Panel

  Recently discovered, I can't print because all the information of the printer in my printers and Faxes folder in Control Panel had disappeared.  When I clicked on "Add a printer" it is said "operation could not be performed.  The print spooler service is not running.

  When I tried different ways to study or to restore service, it does not appear that the print spooler service is here, so that no printer can be installed.

  I would like to know how to fix this problem and get the returned printers in service again.

  Help, please!

  Yes, I tried your suggestions.  It was useful, but it didn't completely solve my problem.  The spooler was still missing.

  I think that there is something different going on inside the machine, because other funny things started to happen, alarmed me thinking that there is some hidden virus eating away at the system code!

  I ran MS security scan several times and also McAfee Security Suite.  Security under the full Scan scan found a virus, but it doesn't seem to be the problem after I got Safetly purged, Scan it.  McAfee came up with nothing.

  So, the way I finally solved it my problem was to do a full restore from backup, and if the operating system was restored.  In this way, I know that the functions of the printer will be restored, who he was.

  Sorry did not had time to review all the details that you suggest, but I was running out of time to try too much, so the "faster" was a system restore as the surest way to get rid of all the problems and restore to the original code.

  Thank you, you have been very helpful.

  Updates Windows reports that it installed properly but the Panel itself will be open from nt.

  Should I remove it and reinstall again?

  Hi AdelaideJohn67,
   
  I suggest to uninstall existing NVIDIA Control Panel and restart the computer. Visit the NVIDIA Web site, download and install the drivers manually.

  After installing the drivers, restart the computer and just do a right click on your desktop and watch if the NVIDIA Control Panel whether or not written.

  Hi MAMARDA,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue so that we can better help you.

  (a) what version of Windows 7 use you?

  (b) what is the exact error message you are getting?

  Method 1: You can also try to perform a file system (scan SFC) verification tool. This tool will fix the system files are corrupted.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

  5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  Method 2: If this is a recent problem that has developed you can try to perform a system restore and check if it works very well.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next

  4. click on finish

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  For more information, please follow the below given link:

  Method 3: you can try to start safe mode and restore the system, if you are unable to do it in normal mode.

  For a safe boot, you can follow the below given steps:

  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  2. do one of the following:

  a. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  b. If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  When you are in safe mode, follow the steps mentioned above to complete the restore of the system.

Please can someone! help this old man! gazza.

  Hi gazza.

  Scan your computer for malware and try to remove it.

  You can use the Microsoft Safety Scanner to do the same.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Unfortunately, when a system is infected the best way to ensure that everything has been deleted is to perform a clean installation.

  How can I get Snipping tools im using Vista and this control panel and then enable or disable the thing pc isn't here. Help?

  Hello

  You don't say which edition of Vista you are using.

  Vista Home Basic Edition does not have the "snipping tool".

  If you have a different edition of Vista, read the information on how to find it:

  http://www.PCWorld.com/article/137099/activate_vistas_snipping_tool.html

  If you have one version of Vista, other than the Home Basic edition, you already have the Snipping Tool screenshot utility: click on Start, all programs, accessories, Snipping Tool. If you do not see here, it cannot be activated. Go to the Control Panel and open programs and features (you may need to click programs first). In the left pane, click Windows turn features on or off. If necessary, click continue when you are prompted by user account control. Scroll down the list of features, check the box next to Tablet PC optional components, and click OK. Marketing of these features gives you not only the Snipping Tool, but also input panel Tablet PC, Windows Journal and other features related to the stylus.
