In Windows Vista, when I type text in an e-mail message and then try to highlight, the text disappears.

I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA. WHEN I TYPE THE TEXT ON THE E-MAILS AND TRY AGAIN AND HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT DISAPPEARS FROM IT. I'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT PERHAPS THE COLOR IS WHITE (I THINK THAT OUR GIRL CAN ACCIDENTALLY CHANGED SOMETHING SINCE IT IS A NEW PROBLEM)
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE COLOR. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP. Thank you.

original title: TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN I TRY TO highlight THE TEXT

You can open Notepad and type something.  Press the Insert key, and then try to go back and change what you type and you will see the difference between insert and Overtype.

I can't help with Firefox, but in IE, you can change the colours via Tools | Internet Options | The colors.  I think Firefox has a similar option, but you need to ask in a forum of Firefox to see the option.  As it happens in the browser, then it is clearly a browser problem and not a problem in Windows mail.

    Hi JohnRobertsonVS,

    Method 1

    Refer to the Microsoft article to download and install Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe), check to see if it helps.

    I can not open Help files that require the Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917607

    Method 2

    Try the method below and see if it helps.

    a. Open a command prompt window and run the following command:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    b. Press ENTER.

    Note: To open a command prompt window, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click run as administrator.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a corrupt system file search.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you reconnect then wireless.

    How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?

    Hello

    Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer.  Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.

    When I download a wmv on an internet site and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.  I was told that the media player can miss a card.

    Hello

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
    2. are you able to play videos other than video .wmv successfully?
    3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1
    I suggest you to check if the hardware acceleration of the display device setting is too high.
    a. Click Start, click Run, type desk.cpl and then click OK.

    b. click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

    c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then move the hardware acceleration to none.

    d. click on apply and then click OK twice.

    e. If the problem is resolved after you move the slider hardware acceleration to none, contact the manufacturer of the graphics adapter driver to determine if there is an update that resolves this specific problem.

    Method 2
    The required codec is missing or damaged. If the problem occurs when you use a .wmv file, download or reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player. If you use an earlier version of Windows Media Player, upgrade to the current version of Windows Media Player for your operating system.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player

    If the problem occurs when you use a different format of video file, for example a .mpeg file or an .avi file, download or reinstall the appropriate third-party codec.
