• I used to get the Blue error screen when you connect to the wide I did the registry clean, but now, when you connect the computer stops with no error message.

  How can I fix it? or what is wrong now?

  Hi Stelana,

  If I understand correctly, the computer turns off when you want to disconnect.

  This behavior may be caused by this security software on the computer, or the computer might be infected with the virus.

  To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Disable the security software and test, follow the steps mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Activate security software once it's all done.

  Because this problem occurs after cleaning registry, critical registry keys may have been changed.

  Some programs available for free on the Internet may contain spyware, adware or virus. Only download and install programs from software publishers that you trust. Even if the website, that you download the program trust, you must also trust the Publisher of the program. For more information, see when to trust a software publisher.

• Trying to create a shortcut using the "F1" key I deleted the default shortcuts and now Illustrator will not accept 'F1' when I try to type on the box.

  Why Illustrator does not accept the 'F1' key as a shortcut? I deleted the default keyboard to "clipping mask/do" command and now I can't use the "F1" key All other command options are used for other shortcuts. Should I delete the Illustrator preferences and start again? If so, how do I?

  What OS? If a Mac, go to System Preferences and check the box that says deal with F-keys regular keys (or something to that effect). This will trigger the F keys to be used in artificial intelligence.

• I tried to start the computer in safe mode, nothing works. All of a sudden my icon text in paint is dark. Why?

  Found the answer... the text bar is still gray but I was able to unlick

  in the toolbar and I was able to add text.  Not sure, maybe "text".

  the button was grey all along?  I don't think, but I can choose only three of

  the four options that allow a check mark in the view menu: toolbar, color and the State.  The text

  has a check, but it is gray, cannot be enabled or disabled.  Maybe I just never noticed it before.  Could

  Add text by clicking on the toolbar tools, then reclicking thereon.  Odd.  It works and that's all that I needed.

  Hi Gail Harris,

  Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. In safe mode only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started.

  What is safe mode?

• Pin a shortcut to the taskbar

  I just installed Windows 7 7100 on SBS2003 R2 32 bit workstation.  Everything seems simple with two exceptions...

  1. I am trying to pin a shortcut to the taskbar, but when I I drag it to the task bar there is a red circle with a bar diagonally and it won't PIN.  When the application is running and I click right to "pin to taskbar" the only options I have are to "close the window.

  2. is there a way to remove, hide or remove a program running in the taskbar (Windows Messenger for example)?

  Thank you very much.

  My understanding from what I've read of Microsoft... shortcuts, folders and disks can be pinned. The icon must be associated with an exe file. You may not remove or hide a program running in the taskbar either. Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

• I want to copy all my jpg files to another directory (a portable hard drive) with some of the same names of JPGs, but not necessarily all. What will happen? The word 'COPY', will be some of the deleted files be added or nothing at all.

  I have a LOT of pictures in my computer (over a thousand) and I want to put them on a portable hard drive, I bought (1 terabyte) but I won't write any of the names of existing files with different images. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do I need software or special hardware? I tried the copy/paste standard as well as move files to the new directory, but it seems that I can lose files. I'm not sure if the files that are missing (or lack, in my opinion) are not copied. When I finished emptying the directory, it shows that it is empty but the new directory does not seem to have any additional files that should be there based on the counting of the files before and after.

  Thanks for any help you can provide, Bill

  1: right-click and then drag the pix on the external drive. Release the right mouse button and choose copy here. They are there?  Now remove it from the computer.

  2: you can see pix of the same name overwrite each other, or be done with (1), (2), etc.. But even in this case, they will be interspersed with the former. If keep you them in separate folders with different names, that should not happen. Personally, I rename all the pix before storing them. You can select the set instead of the code of the camera and a group, rename the first holiday 2009 yo and the rest will be renamed holiday 2009 and each havf will one (1), (2), (3), after them.

  It is also a nice freeware tool which, among other things, can rename a group of photos easily.

  Left + right, or Ctrl/Cmnd arrow to move an image. Page up and Page down to do the same thing if you have the keys. Adding the SHIFT key moves 10 images. What keys you are trying to use? I've never seen it work only not on a standard QWERTY keyboard.

• When the computer is suspended can continue with downloads?

  Dear Microsoft Community: is anyway to continues with download for example huge downloads to feel if the computer is put to sleep? Or all programs can do that? Just afraid my computer overheats with normal the day before or the off the computer screen?

  Thanks - any ideas?

  Overclocking can certainly cause serious overheating.  I suggest that avoid you it.
  If you are determined to do so, you will need to find a feasible speed that will not damage a problem or add a cooling improved as a liquid chillers and more fans.

• I tried to open firefox this morning that she would not let me do, instead, I got an error message saying: error-platform version 10.0.1 is not compatible with minversion > = 10.0, maxversion < = 10.0 "I'm not sure what I can do. Thank you

  I noticed that firefox updated last night before I shut down my computer, and then when I turned it on this morning I received the error message that I described above. It doesn't let me Open firefox.

  I don't know what you see or what generates error messages.

  Firefox 10.0.1 should run on Windows XP, I have it running on an XP. I guess that the error message comes from a site/file Firefox tries to open or some plugin that you normally use with Firefox. You can try to confirm exactly what is the full message and it generates.

  Maybe if you attach a screenshot of the message it would be useful to clarify what's happening...
