How can I enable the Active Desktop on & off?

My old sytem had Windows ME who had an active office. Now I have Vista and I said you can enable active desktop on and outside, but so far I can not even find the active desktop anywhere on my PC even doing a search, you can see my problem by going to this web page... http://science.nasa.gov/realtime/JTrack/FAQ.html... about 1/4 way down the page you will see a button... Add to Active Desktop... when I click on it I get an error message and I am told that it is because my active Desktop is disabled and I need to start the first, but this seems to be much easier said than done! Dell Tech. chat support took control of my PC through Dell Connect and he couldn't understand either after telling me he could! Laughing out loud... Well... He gave the best move! Laughing out loud... I am open to any suggestions! lol good luck!

He was also included in Windows 98 and later Windows versions up toWindows Vista, where the service has been abandoned.

See you soon.

    How can I enable disable Activity Manager?

    General information:
    The activity Manager records all interactions between Thunderbird and your e-mail in one place provider. There is no guesswork more. Just look in one place to see what's going on with your email.
    Activity Manager allows you to follow more closely what is happening in the system and what activities are currently performed (for example, synchronization of folders offline IMAP, download new POP messages). The info in the status bar may appear and disappear quickly sometimes before able to read, but the info is displayed in the Manager activity.

    Useful in the audit of what has occurred and are auto stocks. This can help in the troubleshooting section.

    It appears if you select 'Tools' > 'the activity Manager.
    Thus, it is not something that suddenly arises every two minutes to annoy the user.
    The journal is deleted whenever you leave Thunderbird or you can clear the log manually.
    "Tools" > "activity Manager".
    Click on the button 'clear list '.

    This is an unusual request to stop the activity of logging as a background process and the only way to check what activity account has or has not occurred.

    I have searched and checked preferences to see if it could be turned off, but nothing helped.

  • Satellite A100-529: How can I enable the wireless network adapter

    Hi all!

    I'm new here, but I want to know how can I activate the wireless network device. On my Toshiba Satellite A100-529 keyboard is a Fn key that must be pressed with the F8 key to turn on the wireless network device. I did, but it does not work.

    What can I do to turn on my wireless device?
    Thank you!

    You are right. The FN + F8 key combination should be used to switch to the WLan card.

    But look, man. Have you checked if your laptop supports wireless network card?
    I think it does not support the minPCI wireless network card and the card does not exist!

    That's why the WLan card cannot be activated :) you know ;)

    To enable the memory remapping, I suggest you enable in the BIOS and check if it helps.
    BIOS - how to enter the BIOS?
    Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. This is usually one of the following values, and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds: F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED
    Once in the BIOS find the menu with the remapping of memory, it is different on each computer.
     
    Enable memory remapping feature
    Check the BIOS settings to see if the memory remapping feature is enabled. Remapping memory access Windows for more memory. You can enable the memory remapping feature in the BIOS by starting the configuration of the system. See the Guide to your computer for instructions on starting the installation of the system on your computer. The name of the memory remapping feature may be different for different hardware vendors. This may be listed as remapping memory, memory expansion, or something similar. Don't forget that your computer can not supported the memory remapping feature.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • During the upgrade of Vista SP2 to Windows 7 (including SP1) my keyboard is no longer in effect. How can I enter the activation code?

    I'm in the process of upgrading to Vista SP2 (32 bit) to Windows 7 (32 bit) via DVD.  I saw that the process was going to take top one some time and went to sleep with the assumption that activation code window waiting for me in the morning.  Well it's here, but my USB keyboard does not (as no functional mouse).  I can't enter the code.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach this?

    Press the power button, once, energetic and very slightly (do not press the button). If the PC is in sleep mode, it should wake him up.

  • How can I erase the active sessions and / or authenticated at a granular level?

    When I visit a Web site and I authenticate either via username or certificate / States PKI, identification and authentication information is stored somewhere. I want to know where that somewhere, so I can cancel these one at a time manually.

    I understand that I can go into the Options and clear browsing data - and Yes, this will accomplish the same sorta thing - however, it will kill ALL my sessions authenticated through ALL my tabs. I would like to know if there is a manual way where I can do BY the site, while it is not a such brute force method.

    Last note: I don't want to close all my tabs (Firefox completely quit). Nor do I want to go through the options to do. If I can be educated to know where is my session store location and authentication, then this will answer my question.

    I am an advanced user and have no problem working my way around my system to fit my needs, I don't know where to find this database store.

    It is likely not possible since it is to disconnect from the secret decoder ring (CSD) and the sending of a notification to close all http and ftp sessions (net: clear active connections).

  • How can I enable the "Run as Administrator" install a program in Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium

    Hello

    I am trying to install a backup program on my computer. I am the administrator and the only user of this computer. When I right click to install the program I do not get the "run as Administrator" option, but install. (For this program only all others I get "Run as Administrator".) After changing the UAC I still could not install. I then installed 'Take Ownership' in the menu, but still can not install the program because that supposedly, I do not have the necessary privileges. Then I contacted the manufacturer of the program and told me...

    Based on the problem that you are experiencing, it is a possible solution, we have tried before.
    I need you to delete a file (ctd.db - it can be represented by ctd right on your machine depending on settings)
    Go here:
    C:\Windows\System32\config\

    The path to this program on my pc is not not than stated previously. I could not remove him. I tried other methods without success. Attempted to create another account as administrator, but was not allowed to do.

    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The new button show desktop can not be moved.

    You can still use the old button display the style Office and place it next to the Start button. The best way to implement this is to restore the old Quick Launch toolbar.

  • How can I enable the GPU option on a new mac pro with 2 AMD D700 graphics cards?

    I recently bought the new mac pro, and I saw the option GPU is not activate and acknowledges that the CPU one, which is frustrating. Does anyone know how to enable the GPU option?

    Thank you

    See this for more details about how the GPU is used in After Effects:

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/AfterEffects/2012/05/GPU-CUDA-OpenGL-features-in-after-effects-CS6. HTML

    Note that your card will be used for all the features of GPU - but the 3D rendering acceleration traced the beam - requires a Nvidia GPU. This is a deprecated feature that you don't need to worry about anyway. There are a lot of better alternatives to the use of 3D in After Effects, Cinema 4 d, including the who now comes with After Effects:

  • How can I find the active tab when I have dozens?

    I am frustrated in my effort to close the tab, that I look at when I have dozens, and the active tab is somewhere far to the right or to the left of all of the other tabs. Is there a quick button to close the tab I am currently looking?

    Hey mattwolf7,

    Try ctrl + w on Windows or command + w on mac. Just as an info, the latest version of Firefox has a new design that makes it much easier to see which tab you are currently using.
