  Original title: style of windows 7.

  Hello! I don't know what I did but my windows 7 icons look like this now:

  It's like windows 7 and xp mixed (see this marker of the icon like in xp, not not like in 7 transparent square). I kinda like that, but it will be better if you tell me how to do it on purpose, because I did not goal! And that's why I'm worrying about I did not on purpose! And I even took this screenshot using way: Impr. xp screen then the paint. What's happening: I mixed system files with my windows 7 xp half?. Help, please. And after that you could tell me how to do it on the purpose – if possible? I can like it :).

  

  Well, what the...? :) I restarted my PC (I stopped last night and just started my PC today) and everything is normal. My icons once more the window transparent when I hover over them like originally in windows 7. Do you always think I do the tutorial or he didn't need? :))

• If I install my windows 7 Edition family in a second, older, compputer, how will Microsoft charge me to legitimize, and computers will work properly until you get this application? George

  I have a second, older people, computer that I would like to upgrade using my drive of the windows operating system 7. Can I install and expect a request for rights of Microsoft? How much they want to?

  George

  If you are referring to recovery discs that you made from your stolen computer, I suggest that you don't waste your time. If she even installed it will not have the right drivers for your old computer so unlikely to work properly. It will give you any time a black screen and no real reviews.

  Save yourself some grief and buy a genuine windows or use the computer with the operating system, with which it came.

• Installed the updates, but the display looks like windows 98 and the Wireless does not work

  Hello
  I use a laptop with vista service pack 2 and I tried to update windows via windows update on the recommendation of the support page from microsoft on how to unload a debugger. There are only three optional updates available, I forgot what they are and after restarting the computer the theme looked like windows 98 and my without wire might work, and also, I was still having problems with the game with the question of the debugger.

  What should I do?

  (And Norton) McAfee applications are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. The 'remains' of McAfee may be cause of your problem.

  1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4 test cycle.

  NB: If the application pre-installed McAfee subscription or free trial period has expired before you install Threatfire, the latter may not have installed correctly and can not work correctly since you installed it.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005

  I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005, I also ran fix and it tells me that it is fixed but it is not getting the same error code when I try to update after running it help please?

  Hello

   
   
  
  1. which Microsoft Fixit did you?

  2 have you installed new hardware or software before the show?

  3. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  4 update you are trying to install?

  5. are you logged on as administrator on the computer?

  
  If this isn't the case, I suggest you to log on as an administrator and check for the issue.
   
  Method 1:
  One of the other reason for the 80070005 error is caused by software running on your computer security.
  Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Method 2:
  I suggest you perform the steps described in the article:
  Error: 0x80070005 when you try to install updates by using Microsoft Update or Windows Update
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968003
  This problem may occur if access is denied when accessing or copying files during the process of Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
  
  Method 3:
  Perform a clean boot, and then check if it helps.

  4. Click the Tools menu and then click Fax accounts.

  Honestly, this sounds like a problem of carrier. Are you able to make/receive calls or send and receive text messages? I would first check with the carrier to make sure that your phone is still set up to use mobile data. Something was accidentally deleted when they merged your bills.
