Losing icon Arrangement - Possible Fix

• Windows XP home - icons arranged in order alphabetical Z - A

  Hi, I have no idea why my computer started to do this, but now all my MS explore windows arange al icons in them first with the shortcuts folders Z - A, then Z - A files, although if I arrange me by type, file extensions are A - Z, but the file names are Z - A in their breast.

  If I click on "organize by type", for example, once again, it's always a - Z on everything except the file extensions are now Z - A too.

  The same thing in all my 'open' and 'save' dialog boxes. Microsoft will not give free assistance because he told me to go check with the manufacturer of my computer (I have a Toshiba Equium MX40).

  I tried messing around with a case until he is almost back to normal and to "apply the settings to all folders", but the parameters do not change on all folders and sooner or later, this issue will return to the messed up order. All apply to all folders seems to do is link pairs of files randomly so that changes to one affect the other, which is annoying when he connects things like 'my images' in 'my computer' so if I do 1 miniatures, they are two thumbnails.

  Is it possible to stop it so weird quality? I would rather not reinstall windows. My microsoft office is too weird, but I'll post that elsewhere.

  First of all, it certainly isn't a problem of laptop but deliver only Microsoft Windows.

• Anytime W7 home prem upgrade to profess W7 cannot be rerun on the same machine to possibly fix the errors.

  Computer: HP Pavilion G/1070 us laptop. Original OS W7 64 Home Premium SP1

  15 Aug-2914, I had some freezes and problems of instability and learned on the web that a upgrade type installation could clean debris from its difficult use of several years.  I went on the website anytime upgrade Microsoft and bought an Anytime Upgrade for W7 64 SP1 PROFESSIONAL and installed from the Internet Anytime site. The key to the new system has been inserted automatically and a copy sent to me by email with the reception that I printed.

  The process went well and in the end my initial home screen was displayed. I checked email and tried a few other tasks, and everything seemed fine... I clicked stop, and (as I remember) a stream of file system names began to scroll to the bottom of the screen indicating that they were part of the upgrade process. I turned off the computer.

  This morning, I restarted Windows and experienced some of the friezes original and instability... I reasoned that if I restarted the install of Win 7 Premium and careful I might be able to check updates and fix the problem. This was not possible. The Windows Anytime Upgrade site rejected the upgrade key that I was copying the receipt of Email for my purchase (I tried at least 10 times). I could not find any contact information on the site and I noticed that my received email was sent from an unmonitored address.

• My speakers produce an ear piercing rumble sometimes that does not seem to be associated with a particular activity. Any ideas as to the source and the possible fix?

  It seems that the problem associated with my video/audio card that has been recently replaced due to the failure of a similar video/audio card earlier.

  (ViXS Pure TV-U4888 NTSC/ATSC Combo).

  Hi G_N_P_HL,

  1. did you other changes on the computer?

  2. when the problem occur?

  3. when and how does the ear piercing rumbling stops?

  First, make sure you don't have any programs or applications or in the course of performance when the problem occurs.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Could someone tell me how to stop the folders and icons rearrange themselves

  Before I updated to El Capitan I could arrange the files on my desktop or in any folder in the finder, in order that, I opened I wanted and they would REMAIN THAT of the WAY. Now, folders and icons in the folders reorganize themselves, usually in alphabetical order, each time that I add, delete, or move something in a folder. This causes a serious pain for me and make my extremely inefficient workflow.

  I managed to stop the folders on my desk of reorganization by going to view > options > sort by selecting: None (thanks Mac forum) and I can do this in a folder if I want to rearrange things myself, but I seem to need to do this individually for every single folder and there is no guarantee that the next time I turn on my computer it will be always in that order. El Capitan before I could move my files manually on my desk and in a folder and if things got a little messy, or I wanted to start, I simply chose sort > by name and everything would be perfectly back to alphabetical, as a grid, on the right side of my screen, or in a grid at the top of a file. AND... If I wanted to manually move a folder or icon after sorting by name, I could still do it, without having to go to tri: No. Now, if I say sort: None, which seems to be the only way to manually sort the icons or folders, all of a sudden my own grid of files are everywhere in my office or mixed into a folder, unlike before where they would simply stay in a grid in alphabetical order, making it much easier to find things when manually reorganize. In my workflow, I need to be able to fix things and make them stay there, then, how do it works as before. Is could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to get things to work like they used to, when the only time where my files or icons arranged themselves was when I SAID to THEM, keeping in mind I'm not that computer, so if it's code, or go beyond the preferences or settings , you've lost me.

• icon of the taskbar right-click menu 'task' gone

  When I right click on the taskbar icon, I used to get several options, including a section called tasks. However, for about two days, I now only get three options of Mozilla Firefox, remove this program from the taskbar and close the window. I don't know where the options to open a new tab, open a new window, etc. I did change all the parameters of topic: config and tried to reinstall firefox without success. If there is a possible fix, please help.

  Edit, I rechecked to the subject: config just now and found that browser.taskbar.lastgroupid keeps returning to the user being bold. I'm certain I have reset the first time, but I did it again for fun and at least for now I seem to have the right click menu rear complete with tasks and frequent.

• I can connect to my administrator Local account, but cannot connect to a newly created Local Standard account. How can I fix?

  Hello
  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 bit on my main PC that uses an SSD. Recently, when I was about to create new profiles of user account for my children, I came across a few connection issues on newly created accounts.
  Here's a breakdown of what exactly is going on:
  1) turn on the computer. Starts Windows normally, auto-journalisation me on my administrator account. Nothing unusual appears, just the regular, the windows desktop and files.
  (2) I go into my control panel (category view) | Accounts of users and parental control-link under click on "Add or remove user accounts". Click on "create a new account | Entered the name (for this example, I'll call it reverse) | Apply the account type "Standard account" | Click on "create account". Close all open windows. Click Start and then click 'Quit' from the menu
  (3) once I clicked on 'Leave', it says "logging OFF... "or something similar, and I just click on the new icon for the newly created account that I just made. Very quickly, the screen flashes "Welcome" then flashes black and then reloads the blue background with the words "Logging Off". It flashes black once again and brings me to choose one account screen, where I see my newly created account and my administrator account
  (4) I try clicking on the icon of the new account again, the same thing is happening. I'm trying to connect to my administrator account, it works perfectly
  (5) Event Viewer records these specific messages:

  (6) I have already run the "sfc/scannow" command in and out of safe mode. Windows reports that no files have been tampered with
  (7) I don't have any system on this SSD, the restore points
  8) ran an antivirus scan (although this machine is not connected to the internet that often, mostly used to store local applications for local use)
  I am open to ANY suggestion and someone has solutions capable of solving this new auto account sign out of the question. I'm afraid that the reload of the operating system on my computer is too expensive (data wise) right now. Its connected to a HARD drive with programs.

  Sorry I took so long to come back - but I have a lot on my plate right now.
  Have you tried to create an administrator account?
  If it works, can change you it to a Standard user account?

  Check if the computer browser service and the Server service are started.  If this isn't the case, please start them.

  Check if the different events and error reporting services are started.  If this isn't the case, please start them.

  Registry errors also:

  You remove/tweak the OS installation on the SSD drive?  If some settings have prevented appropriate services of loading (so that the applet of Control Panel does not work)?  If this is the case, I would have to suggest a backup, wipe and a reinstallation of Windows without any adjustment being made (at least until you have setup the Standard user accounts).

  Good luck!

• Move the icons in GridFieldManager

  Hello

  Trying to develop an application that contains the icons arranged in a grid using GridFieldManager.

  Currently positions of the icons are fixed once they are added to the grid.

  Is there a way to do such as users are able to rearrange the position of the icons in the grid? for example, move to a different empty location in the grid.

  A good example would be like the menu BB where we can highlight the icon, select 'Move' and choose the new location.

  Appreciate any help I can get.

  Thank you very much in advance!

• How to fix error code 22 on iphone 5 s?

  Hello

  My phone is iPhone 5 s 16 g and I just finished upgrading my operating system iOS 9.3.4. After updating because when I was upgrading my PHONE when it was still in lower versions that he deleted files, music, photos and other downloaded etc. apps which is I think normally during the upgrade, but then when the latest version (iOS 9.3.4), it didn't remove a single file. I just wondering and I wanted to ask if this is really what happens when upgrading to the latest version of the operating system? My other question is what you mean by error code: 22? I tried to connect to my facebook account (it is after the upgrade), when I press the log in a pop out window and say "will record in Failed" and talk about the error code 22. How can I possibly fix it immediately because I can't use my apps if that happens?

  I haven't done any troubleshooting yet because I don't really know what to do.

  We hope to receive an immediate response to this topic.

  Thank you.

  Carmel Burgos

  Hello Carmel, to answer your questions:

  (1) iOS updates should not delete all data on your phone, the system is updated but nothing else changes. All data and settings should remain the same. This is the normal behavior.

  (2) to find mistakes Apple checkbox. However 22 is not there. 21-23 can help:

  Get help with iOS update or restore errors - Apple Support

  (3) for the Facebook app, you may need to contact Facebook because that's their problem. Alternatively, you can delete the app, reboot the phone and re-install the application. This works for many. Good luck.

• Since the update of the 16 to 17, shortcuts to office created by dragging show generic Windows icon instead of the Firefox-page icon.

  During the upgrade of the FF 16 or 17, I can always drag the icon that is to the left of the url on the desktop (or even quick launch of XP, shortcuts to files, etc.) to create an internet shortcut to the current page. However, with 17 this method produces a shortcut that shows a generic Windows icon instead of a Firefox-page icon. Even if a generic Windows icon shows normally "no associated program," these always open with FF when double-clicked. But it does not look good. (BTW, all of the shortcuts created by this method in FF 16 or less preserved the FF-page 17 updated icon.)

  No idea why this has changed and how to fix it so that it looks the same as before?

  Pending the resolution of the present (and another question) I went back to 16 FF, and it works normally again. However, shortcuts that were created while I had 17 always display the generic Windows icon.

• Envy 14: Driver Synaptics Fix

  Updated my machine to Win 10 and Synaptics Touchpad scrolling feature no longer works. I searched this problem and tried many possible fixes, but nothing works so far. Apparently, this issue has little importance that nothing appears on HP support except go to Windows Update for drivers. There is no driver on Windows Update and no on the site Web of Synaptics. I can use the arrow keys to scroll, but it is tedious and boring at best. I would like to know if the issue gets no attention at all, and if a new driver will be pushed out soon. Thanks for any information.

  OK, got it to work with minor abnormalities, one so far it's very obvious. The orange touchpad LED stays on permanently and cannot be turned off by typing it as the indicator/command to disable the touchpad while typing.

  I downloaded the universal driver for Windows 10 PS/2 and SMBus devices / http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php 19.0.19.1

  Registered registered downloads, open the Zip file and run the configuration file. Follow-up to the guests, rebooted and voila, SCROLL!

  Now, I just hope that when Win 10 automatically updates the driver, it will continue to operate. We shall see.
