  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         When was the last time it worked?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

• "Cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. "

  When you attempt to change the priority of a process in the Task Manager (no matter what process, I've tried a few) I get the error message: cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. It is while being logged on as an administrator. Would appreciate a solution.

  Since Windows Vista and Windows 7, a logon administrator account always uses a standard or limited account for certain purposes. To access these properties, you can run a program using the "Run as administrator". To run as an administrator, you right-click on a program and select "Run as Administrator" in the right click menu.

  Some processes of the system, such as services, you cannot change even as an administrator.  Come on in "show processes from the user all the" which will ask for permission. Then reopen the task Administrator Manager and then see if you can change the priority.

• Cannot change the name of the file in the file properties.

  Original title: Cannot change the file properties

  Some downloaded files have a value in the box "title" under the details (after clicking Properties)
  I can't remove this 'title' and it appears so when I share the file on my network.
  The file is located on a portable hard drive, but I tried to move some files from problem to my office to see if I could solve these problems there, but nothing has worked.

  I already have
  -taking possession of the object
  -allows full control for all users
  -tried to use the "attrib - r + s' function
  -among other...

  I just want to know if there is a way to change the details of the file. On another windows help page it says something along the lines of "some attributes cannot be changed" I hope this isn't the case.

  Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
  Thank you

  This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

• Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

  Hello

  I freshly installed OS elementary which is based on Ubuntu.

  VMWare Workstation installation worked fine, but after creating my new virtual machine with a Win 10, the same message comes to me:

  Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

  I looked a little in the log file, found this dump was set to zero, they changed in etc/security /, but that's all I've managed to find.

  Here is my log file

  Thanks a lot for your help

  PS: I'm leaving a beginner in the Linux world, so explanation would be welcome

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.

  I don't think that the problem is related to a beginner linux user, it's a problem triggered by a specific hardware configuration.

  If you look at your log file again, there is an error just before the vmware process attempts to core dump. The dump is a reaction to the problem.

  vmx| E105: PANIC: VERIFY bora/vmcore/vmx/main/timeTracker_user.c:238 bugNr=148722
  

  If you then put the bug number into google, you get:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1227

  Which indicates in return you can set a configuration file to specify the actual frequency of your processor.

  Your processor is an Intel (r) Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40 GHz

  The linux variant of the config.ini file they speak on windows hosts is/etc/vmware/config

• Cannot change the password using the question of security in l/min.

  We have an identity server. We have a lost password management application. There is a webpass and a webgate configured for the application of the LPM. The mode of communication is simple. The forgotten password feature does not work for the application of the LPM.
  
  Steps to re-create the issue
  --------------------------------------
  -In the form of connection, the user clicks on "I forgot my password"link
  -User enter 'User ID' and then click on submit
  -It redirects the user to a page of challenge question, the answer to the question the user and click on submit
  -The next page confirms the user had correctly answered the secret question. And invite the user to enter the new password, retype the password, and then click Save
  -When, click Save shows "cannot change the password. The screen is refreshed. The new password is not saved.
  
  Identity & Webpass - 10.1.4.2 BP08 Server version
  
  Thank you.

  Hello

  For the LPM error "cannot change the password" check if you set a "minimum age" in the definition of the strategy of password.
  "If you set a minimum age of 2 days for example, the user will not be able to change his or her password before 2 days after the initial setting of the password and you will have 'identity/oblilx/logs/oblog.log' shows: ERROR 0 x 00000901 lost_pwd_mgmt.cpp:264 'cannot change password' loginName ^ xxxxx" in oblog.log

  --> In our POC password minimum age has been set, and we have forgotten that we have in him... This is why we hade this error on the LPM scenario...
  --> After setting the minimum age to 0, the scenario LPM works every time

• Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

  Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

  Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
  Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

  Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
  What Miss me?

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

• Cannot change the Google search bar

  In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

  Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

  I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

• Microsoft Movie Maker - cannot change the length of each clip.

  Cannot change the length of each clip on Microsoft Movie Maker.

  I clicked on 'tools', then 'options' in Microsoft Movie Maker after importing my media and organize my clips as the way I would like it. When I then click on the "Advanced" tab, image duration shows only 5 seconds with the transition period only 1.25 seconds, which is the default setting and that is also what I want. However, when I play my project in Movie Maker, it accelerates through each clip. I also noticed that when I press the title of 'Clip' in my headings at the top left and then click on 'Properties', the duration of each clip shows that only 00:02 seconds. Which is why my speed clips too quickly.

  I would have thought that setting my time of duration in the Tools section would then set in the Clips section, but this is obniously does not. I don't understand why everyone would show differently and wonder if you can help me to slow down the speed that my movie is playing.

  Thank you

  ================================
  The change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
  Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
  to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

  If you switch to view "Storyboard" and select
  all of the clips as a batch (select one and the type...
  CTRL + A)... you can add the 'Speed Up, Double.
  or "Slow down, half" effect of changing the
  duration. Simply select all clips / right click
  the effect on the menu... Choose...
  Add to storyboard table.

  'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

  "Slow Down, half ' double life.

  These effects can be added up to six times.

  If you need finer adjustment...
  the info may be useful:

  You can change the duration for each clip
  manually. Move your pointer autour the
  edge of an element until you see a double red
  arrow. Now, drag the double red arrow...
  you will see if show a ToolTip displays the duration
  train to change.

  Or... just to redo the project after changing
