Hello
What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on your machine? Include all that already had
including those that you uninstalled. (These can leave leftovers that can cause strange problems.)
A search for all most .cpl files will be in "C:\Windows\System32" However, you can have others. Click
on each of them at a time and see if it does not start - if so right-click on it and rename it using cpZ as
the extension is to find. Retry Control Panel - if no joy persevering of all .cpl files. (Note the)
others are under other files under C:\Windows should not be judged because they are not active.)
Some of them are appwiz.cpl firewall.cpl, desk.cpl, powercfg.cpl, inetcpl.cpl, timedate.cpl and others.
Try these in case the General corruption has a role to play:
Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN
Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow

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.

Windows 7 backup works, but does not appear in the backup and restore control panel
I have Windows 7 Pro and have had a running backup on a network drive for a couple of years now. So far it has worked well.
Recently, my wife asked me to postpone this off-peak hours and I went directly to the Task Scheduler and update annex it. I also had to modify the scheduled task to wake up my laptop computer to perform the backup.Now, after making these changes, I can see the event log that the backup started at time exact (01:00) he succeeded 30 minutes later. I can also see on my network drive that it saved at the right time and the registry keys indicate the location of the network right. However, when I go in the backup and restore control panel, he told me to "backup Windows has not been setup" (which previously he would show me the network location and the last backup time and the other at the request of autonomy.)I know that backups are still viable can I do a restore to the correct network location and properly, it shows me that I have backups on this drive. So, why the backup and restore screen is now showing me that no backup copy has been put up any ideas?I'm a little worried that this change to the schedule has whacked a key somewhere that is using the backup and restore screen and finally the backups will fail and I don't notice unless I am constantly reviewing the event logs (which, for domestic use, isn't it convenient for me).Tim,

HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel
My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel. How to fix it. I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Help, please. rwillm
Hey,.
Thanks for the update, rwillm. It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up. If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.
- Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
- Click on one of the remaining printers folder
- Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
- Click the tab drivers
- Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500
Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.
- Click on the start menu
- Right click on computer
- Select manage in the list
- Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
- Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
- Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices
After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.
* Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.
If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.
- Click on the Start Menu
- Click on all programs
- Open the HP folder
- Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
- Select Add a device option
Let me know how it goes,
Jason
