Windpws Mail & Wi - Fi
I just installed a TalkTalk wireless router which seems to have installed correctly. However when I try to send and receive e-mail using Windows Mail, she wants to use a made up connection. How can I use the wireless connection? Thank you very much, Dianthus MJ.
Go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Connection and check or change the connection properties. You will need to remove the account and then add it again, but try first and also check tools | Options | Connections.

I have password protected my computer but now when I try to it says the password is incorrect. I tried all this even close to what, in my view, the password is incase I hit a wrong key (twice?), but nothing works. I'm on the change password page, but it just tells me that Windows cannot change the password. I tried caps, space, different numbers, all, but I just can't get on the administrator account. Is there any way I can bypass/remove the password so that I can access my files?
I don't know that much computer, I just got this laptop for my birthday in the month of April and I don't know which to demand these things too. Thank you.

I updated level of windows 7 starter edition to professional but I want to go back to the starter. How do I go about it. I also want to know how can I get my product number and the activation number.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Samsung: Press the F4 key to the Samsung logo when you turn first.
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

Product: HP Pavilion P7-1262.
Windows 7
No Error Message
Hello IrvM,
Usually administrator rights often have to install a program, but not necessarily run. When you install the program, it should install for all users.
If not you can try to install the program on the standard user account. When you run the install file, you'll want to right-click on the file and say that it is running as an administrator when doing so, you will need to enter your password.
After installation, the program should always be able to be used on the standard account and should not require administrator rights.

Hi Julia Jeffery.
To better understand the issue, we need the following information:
(a) you are using a mail client (mail in windows for example) or a Webmail (hot mail for example)?
(b) remember to make changes? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?
If you are referring to webmail like Gmail or yahoo, please communicate with them that help you more.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Hello
In Windows 7, files, folders, printers, and other devices can be shared with other computers on your network. This is accomplished by accessing a folder, right-click on it and choose the sharing tab. You can share all printers to your network by doing a right click on the printer to share. As long as your computers are on the same workgroup, you should be able to find these devices.
In Windows 7, a new option was introduced called homegroups. You can create a homegroup to share files more easily between systems.
Reference:
Share files with anyone

Vista - Windows 7 network connection. username and password is unknown.
Hello
I just got a laptop with windows 7 on it and I want to connect to my other PC for it, they are on the same network through a router. the PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.
If someone could answer this question, it would be great.
HelloMaybe this can help.Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.
Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.
Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .------------------------------

Hello I have a SanDisk micro SDHC 8 GB card and an adapter. I have an Acer laptop with a SD card slot.
My problem is when I put the micro SDHC into the adapter and then put the card into the slot on the laptop, nothing does appear in 'My computer', so the electronics card has not been read.
Anyone know how to make a SDHC card appear in Windows 7
Thanks a lot for your helpThe problem is not Windows 7, this is the card reader in your Acer laptop. It must be able to read SDHC cards. This is different from an SD card. Ancient readers SD do not read SDHC cards - they are incompatible with older players.
