I have Win 7 64 bit - aero peek stopped working.

I have checked the selection under properties and find that it is grey. How to run again

Found the answer!
Go to control panel - performance and options (find it by typing in the search box) - and set for a 'look '.
I had it for "best performance" which apparently disables aero peek.

  • AERO Peek stopped working after a few adjustments with HP to get my Photosmart printer to work

    I just upgraded a fairly new computer of mine from Vista to Windows 7 Professional.  The upgarde went well however the AERO Peek stopped working after a few adjustments with HP to get my Photosmart printer to work.  I tried to make the show thumbnails of running programs to display in the taskbar with no luck.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Lisa52465,

    (Already responded to dadams26 in a separate thread and it fixed the problem beautifully).

    Have you tried to run the Aero Troubleshooter? If this is not the case, try this:

    1. open the control panel

    2. go in the system and security category

    3. go to the Center of the Action

    4. click on the link to solve common computer problems

    5. click on appearance and personalization

    6. Select Aero

    He must either correct the errors problem or the State to determine the cause.

    If the Aero Troubleshooter is not the thing, maybe it's just that the Aero feature has been disabled by the update. Try this:

    1. right click on the desktop

    2 select Customize

    3. Select an Aero theme

    4 see if previews back

    Just for the record, could you let us know if any of the suggested fixes works (and which). If you still have problems after trying the above, could you please come back with more details (if possible).

  • Synaptics touchpad 64-bit improvements has stopped working.

    Hi guys,.

    I recently bought new HP 15-r022tx Notebook PC (product number: J6M27PA) which comes with free back, installed windows 7 x 64 and set to update all drivers HP online, after all the last update I get an error message at startup "synaptics touchpad 64-bit improvements has stopped working".

    have tried to configure the settings of the mouse but wen I try to access the setting of the mouse, I get an error message "unable to connect to the synaptics pointing device driver.

    have uninstalled and re installed driver from hp support still the same problem.

    so after some research online and no luck in one of them, I continued using tour by closing the program on the first error message every time you start no function touchpad synaptics as two key scrolling, zoom etc... but sometimes the cursor jumps erratically all about and moves on its own with no contacts in the touchpad, click options do not work wen cursor strats to move each time you start himself, after an observation that I noticed that the mouse works well on (by closing the program some special functions on the error without touchpads) until I right click it (sometimes after the first click a few times After several clicks) until I right click on using the keyboard, the mouse seems to be working well but after I right click of the mouse, he goes to his way.

    any suggestions guys

    Thanks guys...

    Finally, I found a fix for the touchpad driver. Looking at the page of the recommended laptop touchpad driver laptop 15-r022tx, I noticed that in the tab system requirements, only Windows 8 is mentioned. It seems that this driver only works for Windows 8. In Google search again for the Synaptics touchpad driver, I found this link to the HP Web site.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=UK&LC=en&softwareitem=ob-116587-1

    This driver is supported for all variants of Windows 7 - x 32 and x 64 (as told by the website).

    The driver in this link works perfectly well for computer laptop 15-r022tx. Downloaded and installed the driver. He followed with a reboot. The multi touch features and scrollbars now work correctly in my Windows 7 x 64 operating system.

  • Windows Aero partially stops working

    I had a recurring problem with my Windows Vista Home Premium where Windows Aero partially stops working. Some of my open windows lose the glass effect, and some of my tabs look effect. As far as I know, the 3D Flip feature still works in these situations. I wonder what I can do to avoid Aero lose parts of its features... the behavior is strange to me, since I would expect Aero is working completely or not at all, but this isn't the case. In general, I noticed this behavior so that I have more than a single open window and either close an app full screen or return to windowed mode. I read that a sfc/scannow might help restore the Aero feature if it has stopped and I am currently in the running process, but I would avoid the problem altogether, so that must not be repeated in the future (assuming it works).

    If it makes any difference, I have a 1 GB Nvidia GeForce 9800GT.

    2. after the update that precedes your video/display readers.

    Could be a nuisance pilot. Update your drivers manually looking at system manufacturer and
    Sites of the manufacturer of the device.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

  • Cannot print the financial dashboard on message of 64 bit windows 7 host computer driver print for 32 bit applications has stopped working

    Original title: Windows 7 print driver host for 32 bit applications has stopped working

    Hello

    In my company, we have a Windows 7 (Professional 64 - bit) computer with installed on financial Edge(32-bit). We have been able to print from this fine machine, but recently we changed a printer of Conan for a Dell 2150cn Color Laser Printer (64-bit driver). Now, when we try to print from financial dashboard, we get the following error:
    Host of the print driver for 32 bit applications has stopped working

    Problem event name: APPCRASH

    Application name: splwow64.exe

    The printer is not a network printer, it is physically connected to the machine. In addition, it seems to print very well, if we are not trying to print from financial dashboard. Unfortunitly, once we try to print from financial dashboard, we cannot print from something else. In addition, financial dashboard can sometimes print (this is rare). I uninstalled and reinstalled, using the drivers that came with the CD (tried to download through the Dell website, but Windows seems to hate this driver)

    Hi IToccrra,

    1. the computer is in a domain environment?

    2. who is the provider of the financial advantage program you're talking about?

    Method 1: Try to print in clean boot

Apparently, you are trying to print from is a 32-bit program, and is not able to use 64-bit print drivers correctly. I would also ask that you contact the vendor of the software (from when you try to print) to check the issue.

    First; There, please do not type in uppercase.  It is considered rude and make your post less readable.

    The version of Java to use depends on the browser.  Firefox is a 32-bit browser therefore uses the 32-bit version of Java.
    Internet Explorer, for example, has a 32-bit and 64-bit version in Windows 7, the two versions of Java may apply depending on whether you are using.

  • Win 7 64 bit, SSO does not work on view 5 but it works on view 5.1

    We have the production environment with view 5.0 installed and win 7 32-bit deployed as linked clones and it works fine.

    But for some of our users, we must deploy win7 64 bit and here, we encountered a problem. When user loggs in win7 64 bit desktop single sign does not work, and users must enter the password and username ther once more before seeing their office.

    We have also installed with view 5.1 test environment and in this environment SSO on win7 64 bit works as expected.

    Any ideas why SSO does not work with 64 bit win7 and discover 5? Is this known bug or it's just me with this problem?  How to find the cause for it and where to look?

    PS Both environments are identical except for the version of view practicly.

    Hello

    We encountered the same problem within our environment.

    In our case, it was because the following has been set to active on the virtual machines via Group Policy;

    Computer config-> policies-> Windows settings-> security settings-> local policies-> Security Options

    Interactive logon: require no CTRL + ALT + DELETE

    Stop in group policy has solved the problem.

  • P50 win 10 Pro - footprints digital has stopped working

    Hi all

    I just got my P50 (20EQS00600, M1000M, i7-6700HQ, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD) about a week ago and I quite like it. However, there is one thing that drives me crazy: after that I upgraded to Win 7 Pro 64 bit for win 10 Pro, the fingerprint feature has stopped working. This issue seems to be related to those reported in these two threads for the P70, but at the same time appears sufficiently different to warrant a new post:

    https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkPad-P-and-W-series-mobile/P70-fingerprint-software-issue/m-p/22517...

    https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkPad-P-and-W-series-mobile/fingerprint-and-sound-problems-P70/TD-p/...

    So, here is what I did:

    (1) I correctly installed Win 10 w/o retaining data/settings from the previous installation of Windows 7; I even reformatted the SSD drive.

    (2) for the initial installation, was asked by Windows Hello register prints I've done.

    (3) fingerprint worked during the first connection, but then disappeared as if by magic. Hello Windows is no longer appears as a connection option in the control panel of Win.

    (4) I found in Device Manager the Synaptics WBDI reported the following problem: "this device cannot start. (Code 10) ".

    (5) repeated uninstall and reinstall drivers are without success. I tried both have Win a driver and manual to install the drivers I downloaded from Lenovo page.

    (6) when I uninstalled the drivers and then wiped the fingerprints stored in the BIOS, I was again able to register fingerprints with Windows Hello. However, this time the fingerprints were not yet registered in Windows, and I had to cancel the procedure. Immediately after, the Synaptics driver stopped working, cf. 4).

    I am at a loss what to do. Strange thing is that I ran Win 7 for about a week, and the fingerprint reader worked fine all the time. (Due to the scaling of the questions on my 4 k screen, I bit the bullet and went to win 10, in case you're wondering.)

    So everyone out there has the same problem, does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you in advance and the best,

    1. rename the program (x 86) folder (32-bit) / Windows Media Player for everything you want

    2 copy the Windows Media Player folder in the Program Files (64-bit) folder and paste it into the program file (x 86) folder.
