  Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that allows you to run programs written
  for earlier versions of Windows. Most programs written for Windows Vista are also running Windows 7,
  but some older programs might run poorly or not at all.

• Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection problem under Win XP (Latitude D430 computer laptop)

  I use Latitude D430 Laptop & Windows XP. Initially, it is ok, but after some time I have a connection problem. I have run the diagnostics & "Radio Test" failed. Any idea about this problem? The problem is solved only when I restart my computer. I think the Win XP driver problem because I don't have this problem when I use Win Vista. Everyone knows it needs to solve this problem?

• Reference Dell 1540 on win 7 home prem at the opening of files returned to the Recycle Bin or delete mode

  When all the files are open this automaticly returned to remove and trash when these windows are open you can not close but if you do a soft boot up. It will also do the same on a fresh boot and openening a word doc and starts just deleting all the carecters

  Hello

  1. Did you do last changes made on your computer before the show?
  2. Have you run a virus scan to check if there are viruses in the computer that is the source of the problem?
  3. Have you run any script that removes files that you have planned by it?
  4. You use your network workgroup or domain or did you keep files on shared drives? If it is the domain, you must have a permission for a user to delete the file or complete with working group

  Method 1: File system [SFC] Checker

  Try to run a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer that will replace missing or corrupt files & check if the problem persists.

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  The site "paperwishes.com" (card making supplies) plays videos of product for some of its products. A blue box shows the word 'Play' next to the item. When I clicked on this blue box last spring, he'd always play. He's now hit & miss. Sometimes, it will offer to play via MP4, but rarely. Their 'webisode' will play not (who played in the spring, as well). Cannot understand what has changed: Google update leaving Windows XP in the past?

  Videos on the site can be read with an HTML5 player and do not use the Flash Player Plugin like a video I cheacked used HTML5 player when I right click on it. Actually, it turns out the link video was a Youtube video and YT uses the HTML5 player when possible and descends to Flash Player if need be if they always support such.

  With a little work, you can get the video to work in Firefox on the old WinXP EOL of HTML5.

• Help! -Windows Update stuck on repeat without end (WIN 7 Home Premium)

  Last Saturday, I had to do a factory reset on my desktop Dell under Win 7 Home Premium (8 GB of RAM).  He gave me some Windows updates, then told me that I had to install the "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"  It installed successfully but since that time, if I check the updates, it "checks" just continuously for updates and that's it.   I let it run all night - nothing.  I have received no updates for M/S Office, Windows, or anything else since the update agent successfully installed.

  What is the cause?  I went to start, all programs, and click Windows Update.  I ran Windows Update from the control panel.  Same result - nothing.

  I'm so frustrated.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

• My Dell 9400 Inspiron computer laptop under Win. 8.1 boots to a black screen.

  My Dell 9400 Inspiron computer laptop under Win. 8.1 boots to a black screen. I have to press the power button 2-3 times before it will start to the lock screen, so I can connect.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Karen Osborn

  Hi Karen,.

  For a better understanding of the issue, I would need more information on your side.

  1. Do you have an error message when you start the computer?
  2. Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

  This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

  1. due to conflicts between external devices.

  2. due to conflicts between the third-party applications.

  Try the steps listed here and see if it helps:

  Method 1:
  I suggest to unplug all external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard. Check if it helps.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to download and install all Windows updates available including the optional updates and check if it helps. You can also download and install the latest device drivers for all devices on the computer and check if it helps.

  Method 3:
  If the problem persists, I suggest to start the computer using safe mode and check if the problem occurs or not. If this isn't the case, the value of the computer in a clean boot state and check if that helps.

  Step 1:
  I suggest you to return the item to start the computer in Mode safe.

  Start settings for Windows (including safe mode)

  Step 2:
  If the issue happen not in Mode without failure, perform a clean boot and check.

  Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows

  Note: After the clean boot troubleshooting steps, see the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

• Pavilion dv7 4060us: dv7 4060us graphics driver under Win 10

  I may be beating a dead here horse I did a bit of research on this issue, but I thought I would try once more on the HP forums.

  I have a good Pavilion dv7 4060us I use to transport my QuickBooks files and inventory with me at the customer site, or when I'm away from the office. I bought it in 2010-2011 because of its performance and price point. The fact that it is a mobile entertainment isn't really the problem. By that I mean I played a DVD or two on it, but that is not its primary mission.

  Having said all that, I, as a Microsoft Insider (aren't we all?) I tried Win 10 since last October. I have five other computers in my company to update to Win 10 very well. Desktop computers.

  But, and I knew better, I leave my dv7 update win 10 home (Win 7 Home) update the graphics drivers under Win 10 HP, even tho ' the review date seems to be August 5 (or 8) 2015, seems to not work. The laptop uses generic LCD drivers from Microsoft. Not the end of the world, but I wonder if anyone has found a way to resolve this display problem. I see that wil HP does not support for this combination hybrid AMD card (5650/4250 HD). I used the Compatibility Mode in the past with some success. In any case, this post was long enough... I can roll it back to Win 7 Home, but I really don't like the appearance of this computer entertainment.

  Any thoughts, or should I just shut up and go away?

  Thank you, DD

  I appreciate your concern for my situation, thank you. I did all of this, including finding a compatible driver supposedly this material on the website of AMD. When I looked at AMD site this month / last month, they said that they will not only support the material under Win 10 (said the same HP, actually, but I'm stubborn). Imagine my surprise when I found that the site would allow me to download a driver today for the HD 5650/4200 under Win 10 64-bit. But it doesn't install properly, be and gives me the same dialog box: No. AMC graphics driver is currently installed or it is not working properly.

  Maybe I'm not fluent in the AMD/ATI products and update I'm with nVidia graphics, I use in my other machines without any problem.

  In any case, I thank everybody help, but I spent too much time on this question; I'm done. I can use the 4060 as it is. Former systems engineer, I felt sure I could fix it but apparently not. In any case, no worries and thank you!

  Kind regards

• Potential problem of product key to reinstall win - 7

  I did a successful installation of Win 7 Home Premium in the D partition leaving Vista in the C partition, resulting in a dual boot and Win - 7 in a partition which is much too small.  I understand that if I blow the Vista partition C, my machine does not start and no recovery I know.  Disk Manager does not allow me to extend the partition D, space, I can release is not next to him.  So, how can I dig my self out of this.

  If I do a reinstall of win - 7 in the C partition, will I have problems to register the product?  If so, who should I contact to fix this?
