• I can't not incoming and my control panel display

I click the icon and it bounces me up to a blank area then disappears immediately. now im hoping there is something or some way I can solve this problem. Please can someone help?

  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

• 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,

• Desktop icon when the program double clicked States not recognized go to control panel of the value binding

  I have a PC running windows vista. Recently, the desktop icons when double clicked do not work, a message appears telling me that the program was not found and to go to the association Control Panel to fix this value.

  I'm now PC expert so would appreciate any advice in simple terms.

  It happens with all the desktop icons, or only some?  If only some, what are their types of files (extensions - the identifier to three digits after the point in the name of the file)?

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates. Then see if you can open your desktop icons.

  There may be something wrong with some extensions (such as .exe files and the .lnk files).  Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and run the process for the .exe and the .lnk file types. ;  See if you can open your desktop icons.

  If this does not work, your user profile may be damaged.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.  Then see if you can open your desktop icons.

  If you still have problems, after return and we will try other troubleshooting options.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I recently had to re - install Windows XP on my computer and lost all my stored programs. Now my speakers do not work. The control panel says no audio device. What should I do to recover my audio? None

  My audio does not work. It worked before I re-install Windows XP. What should I do? I'm supposed to have an audio installation disc? I'm new on the technical aspect of computers, so I know only the basics?

  Using the Device Manager is a good way to get the drivers, but if you do a clean install on a computer or laptop, you must download the supplied drivers initially installed on the computer or laptop to the manufacturer. that is, if you have a Dell, then go to the Dell website.
  the site Web of HP/Compaq
  the Site of Asus
  Acer site
  Alienware website (Now owned by Dell)
  eMachines Web site
  IBM Web site
  Sony Web site
  Toshiba Web site

  Have I no all the em? Anyway, if you have a driver supplied with the computer disc, use this cuz he'll have original manufacturer drivers and the software that you get on the website anyway.
  Also, if it's a Dell, you would like to have a look and print their Instructions on how to install the drivers, Dell cuz drivers must be installed in a specific order.
  Good luck.
