Hello

 

Welcome to the Microsoft community!

You cannot use USB devices.

    If you have installed Windows XP on your computer and you are using the Spanish version, you can change the operating system to accept the entries of the language of other languages supported, such as English. This will help enter you commands and text in languages other than Spanish, making it easier to use the operating system in your native language.

    (a) click on 'start '. Select the "Control Panel", and then open the section ' Date, time, language and Regional Options ".

    (b) click on the button "Add other languages", click the "Languages" tab and then click on the button "Details".

    (c) change the setting from "Default input language" in English, and then click the OK"" button.

  • Laptop Sony vaio with windows home premium 64 - bit randomly bluescreening

    I had one laptop Sony Vaio for Christmas and a month later he badly infected and had to be wiped. My friend helped me to wipe the laptop and reinstall the drivers and a copy of windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium. A few weeks later I noticed he started bluescreen randomly. A few weeks after it starts to crash any Web browser randomly. He seems to hate Fire Fox, more than any other. It's getting pretty bad now and I really need help, trying to get my laptop in good working condition. I tried several anti virus and malware research but they apparently find nothing every time. I unfortunately did not get a disc of windows 7 recovery of Sony and would like to try to solve this problem without having to pay more money but if needed to.

    Your Sony has been provided with a partition hidden restore and you need to follow instructions Sony to create the defined recovery disc, then visit Sony support and find out how to access the hidden restore partition and the defined recovery disk.

    If your friend has destroyed the car when it installed win7, and where he got that?, you will need to contact Sony support to request the recovery disc game, for which there will be a small fee

  • copying a disc - __copied photos on computcomputer with Windows XP-computer Vista laptop and will not open the program

    Copied pictures on a computer using Windows XP

    Disc will not load on my laptop with Vista

    Is there a program to load the disk or is it just copies of some images.  So just copies, then the disc will not 'load' because there is no program to run.  Insert the disc in the drive and click Start / computer / player Disck and right click it and select Explorer.  You should be able to see the folders and files with your photos.  You can or the disc appears to be blank or missing?

    If the problem is that by clicking on the file does not open a program to display it, and then confirm that your Vista machine has software installed to read the file type of the images (they may require that you get a different software to view what they are).

    If this isn't the problem, try to copy some files from the disc to your desktop computer and try to open them from there and see if that makes a difference.  If so, then there is a problem with the drive to recognize the types of files, and then by selecting the appropriate program.  You should maybe go to the web site of the manufacturer of the drive and download any driver, firmware and suitable for the machine AND your version of Vista.  Install it and see if that makes a difference.  Check out a few other discs and see if you have the same problem with them or if it's only this one disc.

    What type of disc is (CD, CD - R, CD - RW, DVD,...)?  Confirm that you can read stll the drive on the XP machine.  Do you get the error on each machine and if so what do say EXACTLY?

    I hope this helps.  If not, tell me what happened with each step and try to answer all my questions.

    Good luck!
