The title pretty much everything said. I have an installer the ISO of Windows 7 Professional x 64. I am trying to create a bootable flash drive using these instructions:
http://www.OSNews.com/story/20795/Installing_Windows_7_on_the_Aspire_One_or_Any_Other_Netbook
I followed all the steps in the guide without problem. Windows Explorer shows the drive is NTFS. I can copy all other files of ISO on the FlashDrive without problem. Only, I can't copy this file. I tried to copy it to my hard drive rather than on the flash drive, and it still does not work.
I tried to create a file with the same name by using Notepad to see if there was a problem with the file name. I can copy this file on my hard drive flash drive, but I can't always copy the ISO file.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 edition and using a Corsair Flash Voyager 16 GB flash drive.

files Acrobat tries to open my default excel, how can I stop acrobat to be the default?
When I click on an excel file, acrobat tries to open it and says he can't.
Somehow my system defined default acrobat for xlsx files and I can't seem to change it.
Help, please
Hello
In windows 10:
Go to system
then settings
then the default applications
then scroll down and select "choose default applications by file type.
then scroll down to the file xlsx extension and make sure that it is set to EXCEL.
Mine was not, somehow upgraded to acrobat.
Then I changed it back and to EXCEL and it's fixed!

I created my own custom menu, and I'm trying to attach a .m4v video (using the selector of whip) as the background video.
I created my menu using Photoshop, and the buttons work correctly. For the background in the Photoshop file, I created a layer named "background" and black - painted there the visible value according to the other forum posts.
When I try to get a glimpse of the menu, it is only showing black (with the keys works properly). I saw the preview and still couldn't see any video. Help please!
Thank you
Rob
Too bad, I thought of it. I used the rectangle tool to draw a black box over the entire surface, then converted the smart object layer. I'll leave this for anyone who might have encountered the same problem of beginner like me.

Trying to create a shared via iSCSI storage. Storage shows is not the second ESXI host
I created an iSCSI lun and gone through the process of adding it to my first ESXI host. It displays well in storage adapters-> Details and I can also add as a data store.
When I try and the same thing on my second ESXI, the iSCSI host does not appear under storage adapters-> Details (although properties are correct within the parameters of the iSCSI software card) and I can not add it as a data store.
If I remove compleatley from the first host I can then add it to the second, but (I think) need in the two hosts to use a shared storage?
I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you
What iSCSI solution do you use? Are there limits set on the number of connections?

Cannot create a homegroup because 'PNRPsvc' or 'p2pimscv' does not work?
I am trying to create a homegroup for my desktop and laptop. Troubleshooting msg said "Peer name resolution Protocol (PNRPsvc) Service or Peer Networking IDentity Manager service (p2pimsvc) does not work". It is after a blank field that appears for my homegroup password. Hmmm. I have no idea what to do next. THX
What solved it for me was delete a file extension corrupted (even if the computer is new). HP technical support walked me through it. The exact method is listed in the Microsoft support under "Why I can't join a homegroup." However, after that, the password came, I created the homegroup, but now the other computer is unable to connect to the homegroup, even if it shows. HP has done everything they can to help me. Now I'm just completely stuck. Nothing works.
