  I am trying to install a new printer, and to do that I know I have to disable firewall settings. I try, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

  I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.

  I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.

  I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

  Any help would be greatly appreciated?

  Thank you

  HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

  Hi Winston/Hewlit,

  Thank you both for your advice.
  While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
  After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
  Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
  Thanks again for your help,

• Any ideas how to follow a mask on this road

  Basically, I would like to follow a pattern I have in JPEG format to the road, so it would not cover to the top of the road and nothing else. I tried to use 3D and then camera tracker by creating a solid track but with problems who did as he follows just the model on during seconds then goes crazy. Any ideas how to do this? See you soon

  This one will be difficult to track the tracker camera AE 3D camera. You have to eliminate the car on the track if you want to try the camera Tracker. A screenshot showing the points tracker will give me a better idea, but I suspect that you get points very little follow-up on the flat green.

  Syntheyes would probably follow this picture, but it would take a bit of work by hand.

  I think the best way to proceed is manually. Just add your replacement layer, add corners, define the corners, set the first keyframe and then go to the last frame of the shooting and adjust the corners, and then split the difference and adjust the mask still once, and then and then.

  Then, using Rotobrush or manual masking to remove separate the car from the backgrouind on another layer and make your composite.

• The superdrive in my iMac (21.5, late 2009) refuses to mount new audio CD. It is very good with cds that have already been imported into iTunes and Ditto DVD. But the new CD is ejected, which means that I can't add anything to my music library on a cd.

  The superdrive in my iMac (21.5, late 2009, running OSX 10.10.3) refuses to mount new audio CD. He sees the cds, which have already been imported into iTunes (12.3.2.35) and same DVD. But new (IE back to the computer) cds are ejected, which means that I can't add anything to my music library on a cd. Any help would be appreciated!

  First try to reset the SMC & LANDAU 2 - 3 times back to back by LANDAU and Intel iMac SMC resets with all devices disconnected.

  If that does not resolve the problem, go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit and use it. If this does not work, then the SuperDrive is end of life and should be replaced. Many users with iMacs older everything just get external DVD readers, if you need to do this, I recommend you contact OWC (www.macsales.com) and they can direct you to one that fits your needs.

• Any idea: how to change a recordset in place in the dynamic list layout

  Hello!

  I thought, it will be easier for my system if I could make behavior like InContext Editing or another example is the dashboard of Wordpress.

  When the user clicks on a button or link, it is possible to change some fields and update the Recordset without refreshing the page.

  I did something already using the updateContent Uility Spry, pass a parameter to insert a recordset object and load a dynamic form.

  But it's different, just edit a field at a time, I.e. change only a single field with a single click.

  With a little help, maybe I could find a solution.

  I have attached an image with the idea. 'a picture is worth a thousand words. "

  I hope my explanation is clear. I'm not good with English.

  Concerning

  Florencia

  It seems you´re looking for a function "Edit in place" which is traditionally done with AJAX and is usually available as a component (integrated or as 3rd party plugin) at 'big' libraries such as Jquery or Mootools AJAX. What Google search for "php ajax in place edit" basic find many links to scripts ready to use and/or tutorials

  However I Don t think that adding these features to a dynamic list of MEASURE will be an easy task, because Basic will certainly have to apply quite a few changes until it s ready to work with your favorite 3rd party 'Edit in place' the script. Rather than this, you might want to look at scripts autonomous as the Grid actually , that could be a lot easier to get to work to try to change a Uninstall list without knowing if it will work or not.

  See you soon,.
