Just a note that even though I am running windows vista forums title (way) above shows windows 7 forums. Seems to be an error in the list to the windows vista forums.

Hi, just want to let someone know that when in the forums Windows Vista here, as the links above show that we are in the forums of windows 7.

It shows answers > forums Home > forums windows 7 > windows update

The path is not displayed properly and just want to bring to the attention of someone.

Thank you!

WinXP, Vista, and Win7 forums specific Windows Update all point to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/5ce44b60-a2ea-4466-abaf-7cfa852d18fb

Similarly, WinXP, Vista, and Win7 specific IE forums all point to http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/threads

Yes, it's very confusing and misleading. And this is also why you see so many MVPS, accounting for variations on the following points in their first responses to a thread:

  • HP Officejet Pro L7780: HP Officejet Pro L7780 Solution Center does not work even though I can print

    Last week, Solution Center of my printer HP Officejet Pro L7780 stopped working, even though I can still print directly from applications. But I can't use the scan feature. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver full several times (after uninstalling using uninstall_L4, cold restarted the printer, remove the DigitalImaging registry key and delete all the files in %Temp%). The re - install seems to be okay except that when I try to open the solution Center, it happens nothing except sound.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  • Acer Aspire laptop bluescreened, will not start even in safe mode, running vista

    My roommates son asked me to help him to be on the internet, which I did, ran unusually slow in doing so, I noticed it when I checked, I found that the notebook had three solutions of different software protection, antivirus, Norton, McAffrey and AVG 2011 version for free. Also I noticed he had some solutions that provided a diagnosis, list of problems found and wanted to pay for the product before they would allow acccess to the fix. I uninstalled Norton and the McAffrey and improved the AVG free version of 2012. I also uninstalled the pesky diagnosis/buy me for the correction and the ask.com toolbar software. I installed ccleaner from piriform as well. The laptop seems to run a little faster, but the next morning he projected blue and when I tried to start it in safe mode it not loaded so far and then frozen, always in the same spot something AVGi and then it crashes, it will not load the rest of the necessary drivers. I tried to boot to the last known good as well. I even tried to downgrade to Windows xp home edition sp3 and when I do it it says there is no hard drive detected, and do I have to make sure that it works correctly.  I am at a loss, my sons friends bought the laptop (Acer Aspire 5315) for $50.00 and did not get a recovery disk so that the option does not exist or the other. What can I do to solve this problem. I'm sure that for some reason, it has to do with the BIOS and I went to the Acer site (from my laptop) and downloaded something to repair the bios on a flash drive, but me is not good because I can not start on either flash player. I am at a loss here and have no idea how to solve this problem. I am practically self-taught and I am a beginner when it comes to repairing the problems. This one is right behind me, someone has an idea what is my problem?

    I even tried to downgrade to Windows xp home edition sp3 and when I do it it says there is no hard drive detected, and do I have to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you tried to install Windows XP, and it says that? Do you have any installation CD? I don't want to say this, but maybe the hard drive went kaput. Maybe a little rare, but it can happen and so he bought the laptop for $50, which I am sure he did not a store. You hear a clicking sound from the hard drive? Have you checked for the hard drive in the BIOS?

  • Halo: IT says that it is not compatible, even though it was working before

    I deleted my Halo: Combat Evolved pc Windows Game 7 by accident. I tried to re - install, but she telling me it's not compatible. How is this possible if I installed and played on this same laptop before? It begins installing then stops at 17% and said 'Microsoft games Autorun/Setup has stopped working' only option is to close the program. Then I do. Then he said: it CAN not compatible. I got tired of all the compatibility options and still get the same thing. I do not understand how I installed and was able to play it a day but when I try and do again all of a sudden it is not compatible. I didn't even look for the game on the Microsoft Web site, and it says it is compatible with windows 7. Can someone help me please?

    Removing software will lead to complications given that likely registry entries
    Install who want to link to the removal, and Windows is perhaps coming
    with an error message bogus because it's all just confused about what has
    that's happened with the game.
    First of all try to do a system restore to a time before you delete the game.

    Another option, depending on how long it has been, and how much written
    you did on the space, the game was installed to, is to use a data recovery software that United Nations-is your deletions (I'm assuming that your BIN is not large enough to hold the game. If the game is in the SANDBOX, you can
    just restore from there. Done deal).

    If this cannot be done your will have to play in the registry and remove all entries for the game.
    Back up the registry before deleting all entries well. It is not always easy to find the registry entries, but are common places
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER-SOFTWARE and find the name of the game or the Publisher (look in the Wow6432Node folder so)

    or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE (there is more chance of finding
    Games in the Wow6432Node folder in this part of the registry).

    Also delete any folder in your.
    The user-My Documents or user------AppData Local or Raoming.
    (you can save backup files for the reinstallation).
    Once that the removal of all traces of the original installation, you should be able to reinstall it.

    I did not have Halo and did not follow the many threads related, but a search of this site should find some discussion and perhaps help.

  • HP Officejet 4620: Printer is in"error" and will not print, even though the computer says that it is "connected".

    My printer recently started telling me it was in a State of 'error' and could not print my documents.  Sometimes I could turn off the printer market and all that was trying to print would then print, if documents or Quicken checks.  Now I can't print from the computer at all, or it will print checks from Quicken even if I turn the printer power off and power on.  The HP Web site indicates that it is connected.  It is the second computer from HP Officejet 4620 of the original that I bought.  The first has a problem that has been covered by the warranty, and this one doesn't seem to be much better.

    Hi @Janilynn,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I read your post and wanted to help.

    I understand that the printer does not print when the computer shows that it is connected.  Please run the print and scan the doctor.

  • OfficeJet 4620 will not print even though HP print and Scan doctor said that everything is Ok

    I just installed an OficeJet 4620.  I'm under Win 8.

    I printed out the status of the HP printer wizard pages.  They work very well.

    I ran printing HP and Scan Doctor v3.1 and all past.  However, when I try to print the test page, I get an error message saying cannot communicate with the printer.

    When I try to print from a different application, I get the same error.

    According to the Assistant of HP printer, the quality of the signal is a 4 (out of 5)

    Hi CallMeD,

    I suggest that you reset your network.  Click here to get instructions on resetting your network.

    Once you do this, I would set a static IP address for the printer.  Click here for more information on how to set a static IP address.  This link will be also other suggestions that may be useful.  Let me know how it goes.

  • Hello/iTunes/Apple Mobile Device not install even though I am the administrator

    Since end of February I could not reinstall ITunes.  It all started when I tried to put in day, and it wouldn't work.  In the end I uninstalled ITunes and tried to reinstall, but I kept getting this message that the Apple Mobile Device could not be installed (?), and I need to check that I have sufficient privileges to install.

    Since then, I have:

    Ran as administrator

    Made sure that 'everyone', 'my user' and the 'administrator' (pretty much just me) have full access

    Disabled user account control

    Cleaned the registry with CCleaner

    Command prompt to check the C drive?

    Nothing has worked.  I even went in the ITunes folder where my music is, was the administrator, and it still does not.  Recently, I uninstalled Quicktime, Hello and the Apple Mobile Device... everything that Apple.  Still would not work.  I got:

    "'Hello Service' (morning Service) service could not be installed.  Make sure you have sufficient privileges to install system services. ».  If I hit "ignore", then it will just do the same except replace "Hello" with "Apple Mobile Device".

  • My blue ink in HP Officejet Pro K550 does not print, even though I tried to put in a new cartridge.

    My Officejet Pro K 550 printer, has lost its ability to print blue ink, but I tried to change the cartridge. Other colours and black work well.  Can you give me any advice as to what may be wrong?

    Hi Linda,.

    I found some of my colleagues who have worked on this printer. There are some things to try, however, it is not all good news.

    The engineer estimated that on the print head nozzles may be clogged for 2 reasons. The first is that there is only some residue ink. Here's what he said: "perhaps you can suggest to the customer to try to remove the print head (just the print head which has cyan nozzles), use a cotton pad or damp cloth to clean the residue of ink around the nozzle. Replace the printhead, and then do the cleaning sequence that the manual says. This procedure might be able to recover some scenarios of nozzle clog, but he's going to use up little ink. »

    However, it may be that air took the print head: '. '. If the print head is deprimed, that means air penetrated in a certain room after turning on which can never be purged, causing not able to sink more ink. In these cases, I think that the print head should be replaced. »

    The engineer also spoke with assurance of customer, who believes that this particular product is past its end of life, which means that it is technically longer than Hp designed to operate. I know that you only had 3 years, but you want to be aware of this.

  • My audio does not work even though device manager says my driver is not working properly

    After I re installed Windows XP after the blue screen problems continued I was not able to get my audio.

    First of all, I tried several different versions including the MB CD driver and those on the site of Asus for my motherboard. I tried later and I tried the oldest. The only way I could install the driver should disable Microsoft high definition UAA, install the driver, and then I managed to install. I don't know if that is related to the problem.
    http://snag.Gy/fZi6Y.jpg In the photo, he says no device audio, even when there is a good.
    http://snag.Gy/4R58T.jpg On the photo, it says that the device works properly. However it only works for a select few programs: League of Legends and my Realtek HD Audio Manager.
    http://snag.Gy/1C8yj.jpg On the Realtek HD Audio Manager, there is no playback or recording device. I don't know why because my driver is correctly installed.
    http://snag.Gy/CzhyY.jpg Inside of my Realtek HD Audio Device in properties I found this. It is said that it is enabled but not installed right which is in contradiction with what he says on the 2nd picture. It is said that by noon, table of mixer and Line-in as well.
    http://snag.Gy/D04a4.jpg It's the only thing I don't understand. I tried to install a driver on it, but it does not. I think that this could be the cause of the problem, but I am open to any response.
    Motherboard: Asus P5QL Pro
    Sound card: integrated on motherboard
    What I tried:
    -J' I re installed and rebooted several times.  I tried at least 3 different versions of the drivers of MB DVD + Asus official website.
    -J' checked bios to make sure that it is enabeled.
    -J' checked Microsoft Update and am up to date on all updates.
    -J' tried to use Microsoft Fix - it and it did not help.
    If there is anything I can do or that you must see tell me and I'll post it.
    Thanks for the help, MDQ

    Hi MDQ.

  • Even though I have my Windows Mail spam set to the highest level, I continue to receive unwanted emails. For some reason any Windows Mail does not block them. How can I fix it?

    I have my blocker spam Windows Mail, the highest value which means I should only receive emails from my contacts.  Despite this, I continue to receive unwanted emails.  This has been so since I've upgraded to Windows 7.  I even went now install a machine program washing 'spam' which was a disaster as well.  I get about 4-5 spam emails a day - usually when I start the morning.

    How can I solve this problem?

    What Windows Mail in Vista or Windows Live Mail in Win7? If it is a POP3 account, you can filter your messages by using message rules. This is for Outlook Express, but it works the same either of the programs.

    Start with the only rule of AddressBook and you receive a message that you want people not in your address book (E-mail from companies, bills, your ISP, etc), you can add them to the rule.

    Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it out}

    Box 2 - Check: delete it & stop processing more rules if you want messages not in the address book to go to deleted items, or you can create a spam folder and direct them here.

    You can choose to delete the server, but be careful because you never have messages downloaded to any folder, if you choose this option.

    Box 3 - Click on the blue words contains people

    Click on the first address to select it. Scroll to the end and hold down the SHIFT key while you click the last address. This will highlight all. Right-click on it and click on from the menu that appears.

    Now, click Options and choose: Message * contains no of * the people below in the top of the page Options area, then choose: Message corresponds to one of the people below in the background Options box.

    OK your way out of the new rule.

    Now, only the addresses that you entered will be uploaded to your Inbox. You won't see other emails.

    Remember, if you add a person to your address book, you must add to the rule. It will not automatically be added.

    Be sure to see these links for more options.
