Microsoft Paint suddenly cannot be found/used

Here's the deal; This pc is about a year and a half, things worked very well on that. About 1 month ago I went to use Paint in the drop-down list in the Windows Photo Gallery (he was always there with reliability, a single click and it would always appear as it is supposed to) and for some reason any, that he was no longer in the selection of the programs that it usually is. I clicked on start and typed in the search box in the paint and also Microsoft Paint and nothing is found...? I clicked on help and typed in the painting and found instructions for her as well as a link to bring up the program, which did, but there was also a small white box opened in it, I guess from my latest project, which will not be clear. I was able to use it a few times to provide assistance, but something is always fair and I can not understand how to fix it. I went to use the paint today still through the help option (the white box empty is still in there but it will not erase) and I tried to put a picture to change; He asks me if I want to save the empty white box and I click on no, then try to open a new project and I get "a sharing violation occurred when accessing...". "(the folder where it is located). I'm the only person using this pc, I was put in as an administrator since I've had and have not changed or all profiles with access limited and never had a problem like this before...? I have Windows Vista Basic. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance...

Hello

Thanks for choosing Windows Vista community.

1 have you tried system restore?

I suggest you perform a system restore, as it was working fine before.

Follow the instructions in the following article, do a system restore.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

4. click on finish.

2. run SFC/scannow to replace any corrupted or missing system files.

This command will launch immediately the System File Checker to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replace all the files with which it detects a problem.

3. click on accessories, then right-click on the command prompt.

  • Re: Satellite M305-4848 - Webcam cannot be found using Skype

    I just got a new laptop today, a Toshiba Satellite M305-4848. The webcam that is built in is a chicory 2.0, I think.

    But every time I try and run it in Skype, it says not "found a webcam. Check your webcam or check that it is correctly connected. "and whenever I run the camera wizard, it says that ' Webcam is either disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings. »

    So, I went to the Device Manager and looked for imaging devices. But not only was not there, but neither has Chicony USB 2.0 Camera. I thought maybe it meant the driver has not been installed, but when I tried to install it, he said that the driver has BEEN installed.

    I'm seriously frustrated with her right now. Can someone help me with this?

    ETA: Now the camera wizard says ' Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer.' and I tried both. It does not work. Skype message is always the same.

    Make sure Skype is completely closed and no seat is not in the tray in front of the webcam driver software was not loaded.
    Try closing the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    It's the path statement where the music is currently located on my hard drive:

    If I click on a single song from within File Explorer, it opens iTunes and the song plays without problem.

    To try to solve this problem, I went in 'Advanced' in 'Préférences' and changed the iTunes media folder location to match the location of the files on my disk hard as you can see below.

    Unfortunately, it did not work either. iTunes is always gives me the same message that it cannot locate the original files. I REALLY hope someone can help me finally tried for weeks to solve this problem.

  • Is there a way to make posters using personal photos in Mircosoft Word or Microsoft Paint?

    I have a Windows Vista if it is important to know. I want to put my letters and photos to create a poster with them. Is it possible to do using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Paint? Or is that not possible?

    Jess

    You do not need Word or paint.  Just right click on the image you want to print and click Print to print your poster of the image.

    Or you can certainly use Word (or my favorite, PowerPoint) to organize a lot of photos together, make their tour and style however you want before printing.  Like this:

  • "could not be used because the original file cannot be found".

    Due to the use of the program duplicate Fixer of Photos on my Mac, I now have quite a few photos in Lightroom was marked as "could not be used because the original file cannot be found" and a small! mark appears on the thumbnail.

    I would like to know if I choose these photographs (more than 400 in all of my collection of approximately 20,000) by some filter? I did not understand this point, and it would be useful to follow them down (to then define as rejected and then removed from the LR catalog) without having to wade through hundreds of folders, etc.

    Suggestions for a filter would be very appreciated.

    Tony

    PS I probably shouldn't have trashed the peaks of duplicate Fixer Photos, but this is now water under the brifge...

    Use the menu command library-> find all the Photos of missing

    To fix the icon exclamation point, read the following instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • Cannot access microsoft over an internet connection by using the proxy to the office

    Recently I can no longer access the Web site from microsoft, or support for microsoft over an internet connection in my office who uses a proxy server, so that the automatic systems update windows could not work well, and the bases of microsoft security might not regularly to update the definitions of viruses and spyware.
    However, if I use an internet modem usb connection, then all problems can be solved, in my laptop, which means no protection of microsoft access. But when I use the internet connection via a USB modem, I can't connect to the local network in my office.

    I already check on the filter of the proxy server and there is no protection of access to microsoft.
    Why this happens and what I can do to get access to microsoft through the Internet using a proxy server in my office?
