I can't open windows completely shares the window

I can't open completely windows sharing box - I can't see the discovery of windows before it takes or disable; can not see the options to switch from public to private, etc.  All this shows it's a big red X between computer and internet and says not connected

Hi Barb K,.

If it works well before? Remember to make changes to the computer before that happened?

Red X indicates that the computer is not connected to the internet

Sharing and network discovery options are available only if your computer is connected to a network or the internet.

You can try the following steps to solve the problem of network

·         Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair.

·         Make sure that all cables are connected (for example, make sure that your modem is connected to a working jack or cable phone connection, either directly or through a router).

  • The windows of the bar of Windows are already a form of tabs, so I need them in Firefox. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox?

    RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
    The windows bar already functions as a tab bar. These tabs are called "windows". So, I find windows superfluous Firefox tab. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox? I don't need to what are essentially the bars of TWO Windows covering the entire width of the image of my screen! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen, and if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position towards the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK at the windows of Firefox tabs bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a SECOND bar Windows superfluous.

    Here are my reasons why I prefer to use Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I love and admire Firefox intended to Mozilla on good security for Personas Firefox Add-on and for free use of Firefox in the Add on Ad-Block, which, as you know, has the merit of separate to reduce the size of the screen - the last is my reason for wanting to get rid of "windows" Firefox SUPERFLUOUS tabs bar. I'm terribly sick companies forcing bars (most representative of marketing campaigns, trying to sell me something) in my browser (and in my throat) whenever I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I have deliberately talking about your bar of Firefox tabs as a '' windows' tabs Firefox bar', because the TABS are WINDOWS!)

    You can also have an addon to open new tabs in a new window.

    Hi RobynGP,
     
    This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.

    2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.

    3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee? If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no reason to have both; basically to have something very similar to the built-in Defender, and both running at a time will be your performance level and create the risk of problems that are contrary to the other.

    I received an email with pictures and the bos appeared Photo Gallery can't open this picture.  The file format is not supported or you do not have the latest updates to the photo gallery.  I am running Vista on a Toshiba laptop that I bought in July 2009.  What I can do to update the Photo Gallery or something else to see the pictures.  I tried to download Stuffit Expander, but which did not help.

    Hello
    Thank you for using the Microsoft Vista answers Forum.

    What is the file format of the images?

    All the pictures have the same symptoms?

    Disable the antivirus software on your computer and check if it works very well.

    Make sure you have all updates for your version of Vista.

    You can also try the new Windows Live Photo Gallery, as it has more features and should solve your problem.

  • I can't open Windows Live Mail

    Here is the information that I posted on the forum Windows Live but have had no success to date to get answers. Please note that I tried to uninstall Windows Live Mail and running registry cleaner to remove invalid registry keys after uninstallation of the mail.

    Summary of the issue
    I can't open Windows Live Mail

    What version of Windows Live Mail do you use?
    Version 2011 (15.4.3508.1109)
    Choose your operating system version:
    Windows 7
    How long have you been unable to sign in?
    More than a day
    Enter the exact error that you are experiencing:
    Windows Live Mail goes to State "Not responding" immediately after opening.

    Additional details

    When WindowsLive Mail opens, it enters a State "Not responding" immediately. The only button that accepts the interaction is 'Close' or 'X '. I wonder if I want to "search for a solution and close the program." When I select this, nothing comes and the program closes. He had no major event, (for example accidents or installation of the software), before the problem started, and the program worked fine for at least 6 months. I pasted the description that is given on the "does not" close the window below:
