How to program the button to download a PDF file?
I'll put up a new site of CVS in Flash CS5, and I created a button so people can click on the button to download a copy of my CV PDF, but how to program the key so it downloads the PDF file?
It doesn't seem to be a problem in actionscript at all. You place a file with this name on this web site/url... http://www.yahoo.com/LAudell_Resume.pdf. Although I doubt that you have the kind of necessary traction with Yahoo in order to plant the files on their main url.

How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?
with regard to my question above. I need to hold the button of power for 5 seconds to completely shut down my laptop. even restart or sleep does not work well. I upgraded a real victory 8.1 to 10 free victory by that windows app reservation offered. IM using acer aspire v5 - 573 g i7, version gt750m, Finnish keyboard
solutions, I tried to random searches that did not work for me.
1 unchecking quick stop to power options
2 disabling hibernation in cmd (types a code forgot what I have)
3. update all drivers and bios with sites acer official drivers, driver pack solution 15.8 and utility driver update intels
4 decommissioning intel management engine components driver 11 to 9.5
5. go to the bios and reset to the default settings
6 make a shortcut of "shutdown" with codes e.g. shutdown /s /t 0
7. click Update stopIM thinking of reinstalling windows 10 via recovery which removes applications, files, drivers, etc. and hope this solves. I can't roll back to win 8.1 because ive done this reset before you completely clean out my system of win random 8 and trashes the restore option was gone.
Thanks in advance
Hello/Hallo wuschel93,
exactly what I had. Stop number appears only after a certain time the laptop running.
The problem is INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE RELATED V.11!
I fixed it with uninstall Intel Management Engine Version 11. Windows will then install version 9.5 automatically. After that I turned off the automatic update of the driver for this device. You can also install 9.5 without uninstalling the old one, it wil crushed.
Other manufactures also have this problem, but while Acer is still asleep, they provide a solution (including download links):
Maybe there are any other issues that result in the same problem. But in most cases, it's the answer. The thread Starter maybe forgotten to disable the automatic driver update or made installation of v9.5 evil?

How to get the source to windows vista Home premium recovery is not from the recovery partition and gives me an error message

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $

How to enlarge the screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2?
People,
Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible must be installed to PeopleSoft PIA, I need to install VMware Server 2, and then install Windows Server 2003, which is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, Win2K3 screen is very small, and its size is of about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. It is not comfortable to work for a long time.
People know how to enlarge the screen of Windows Server 2003 in a virtual machine VMware Server 2 so that its size covers all of my computer screen?
Thanks in advance!
LucyDid you already installed the VMWare tools in your guest OS in VMWare? In general, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.

How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6
How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6
Welcome to the forum, Sally.
There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.
Follow a few ideas.
- A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.
Enable / disable
Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.
They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...
==========================================================================
A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...
Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:
Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >
() repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >
Click the shimmering blue wheel
In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".
CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.
In the 'Action in the upper left'
CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.
Close
Ok
NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong. You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad. I don't know if I would use this setting.======================================================================================
Next...
Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used. This is a very nice feature.Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >
CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.
If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >
TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >
and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.
=====================================================
I hope this helps!
