• Satellite P100-160 BT icon appears in the Control Panel, but no BT

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.

  * Reasons I thought that I had BT: *.
  I thought originally I had, because in 'Control Panel', it has a Bluetooth icon, which when I press on it opens the "Bluetooth devices". I also use WiFi I thought a sign that BT has been installed and working. I also notice that in Services' there is that something called 'Toshiba Bluetooth Service' running.

  * Reasons I think that now I don't have BT: *.
  However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth devices > Bluetooth settings, nothing happens. It's as if the button is dead. And when I try to 'Add a BT device', he finds not all devices. In addition, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.

  .....

  Overall, I am very confused! I bought yesterday wireless speakers after seeing the BT icon in Control Panel (I had read that if this icon was there, I got BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!

  Could someone explain what it means the Bluetooth icon in the control panel? Why is there if I don't have BT? Or, the icon means I have BT but am doing something wrong?

  Thanks in advance! Very frustrated!

  David.

  > Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not

  Satellite P100-160 was NOT equipped with Bluetooth module.
  But maybe the battery BT software has been installed and is why the BT icon is visible in the control panel.

• Flash Player missing icon in windows 7 Control Panel

  Title says it all; There was once an icon in the Panel on my computer for Flash Player, where you can change the update settings, storage etc. but it is now gone.  How can I get it back?  I've tried flashplayer install clean, but that did not help.

  Thank you!

  How do you have the control panel to display the items?  If you have set up in the category view, the Flash Player element does not appear.  It must be set on the elements of Control Panel control Panel\All for element of Flash Player to view.

  How to find the Folder Options menu

  When I used Windows Vista for the first time that I was a bit surprised to see that the Tools menu is not found in Windows Explorer. So where is she?

  It seems it was hidden from the default interface of Windows Explorer. To access, pressALT from your keyboard, and the old menu will appear.

  

  Another quick way to find the Folder Options is to use the search box in the start menu. Just type in 'folder options' in the field of research and the first result should be the shortcutOptions files .

  

  Click on the computer, or press the enter key to open it. Go to the view tab and make any desired adjustments.

  

  If you want to use the new control panel, you must go to the appearance and personalization and then click onFolder Options.

  

  If you are using the Classic view , you will see the list of items starting with the letter 'f'

• Windows 7 backup works, but does not appear in the backup and restore control panel

  I have Windows 7 Pro and have had a running backup on a network drive for a couple of years now.  So far it has worked well.

  Recently, my wife asked me to postpone this off-peak hours and I went directly to the Task Scheduler and update annex it.  I also had to modify the scheduled task to wake up my laptop computer to perform the backup.
  Now, after making these changes, I can see the event log that the backup started at time exact (01:00) he succeeded 30 minutes later.  I can also see on my network drive that it saved at the right time and the registry keys indicate the location of the network right.  However, when I go in the backup and restore control panel, he told me to "backup Windows has not been setup" (which previously he would show me the network location and the last backup time and the other at the request of autonomy.)
  I know that backups are still viable can I do a restore to the correct network location and properly, it shows me that I have backups on this drive.  So, why the backup and restore screen is now showing me that no backup copy has been put up any ideas?
  I'm a little worried that this change to the schedule has whacked a key somewhere that is using the backup and restore screen and finally the backups will fail and I don't notice unless I am constantly reviewing the event logs (which, for domestic use, isn't it convenient for me).

  Tim,

  But I check on my laptot, there is only a single VGA port.

• Lack of the "Change desktop icons" option in my control panel

  Im trying to restore the icons of 'Trash' and 'My computer' original on my desk.

  Ive played a lot with these before settings on other computers, all of which is running Windows XP or earlier. I can't find the appropriate options in the Control Panel on my vista computer. Many forums indicate the "Change desktop icons" option should be "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization", but the link does not exist in my control panel.

  Is there a way I can make this option appear?

  Hello

  In the control/customization panel (or right-click on the desktop and choosing Properties), the ability to change the desktop icons under tasks in the left column, will not be like a link in the Center.

  Hello

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on your machine? Include all that already had
  including those that you uninstalled. (These can leave leftovers that can cause strange problems.)

  A search for all most .cpl files will be in "C:\Windows\System32" However, you can have others. Click
  on each of them at a time and see if it does not start - if so right-click on it and rename it using cpZ as
  the extension is to find. Retry Control Panel - if no joy persevering of all .cpl files. (Note the)
  others are under other files under C:\Windows should not be judged because they are not active.)

  Some of them are appwiz.cpl firewall.cpl, desk.cpl, powercfg.cpl, inetcpl.cpl, timedate.cpl and others.

  Try these in case the General corruption has a role to play:

  Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

  (b) If you click it, the arrow will show you both options.

  (c) Select the communications device.

  (d) click on set as default -> default Communication device.

  Hi Frank,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  If I understand you correctly, the external USB hard drive (HDD) appears in the control panel but does not seem to be detected in my computer screen. I will certainly help you to question, however, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  (a) what is the brand and model number. the USB HDD?

  (b) has detected before HARD drive in my computer screen? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?

  (c) that you get an unrecognized USB device notification error message?

  The unit is probably go up at the same point one of the partitions and thus becoming "invisible". In

  in order to further diagnose the issue, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Try running the Fixit tool from the link below.

  Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

  
  

  Also, run the next fixit to solve common problems with USB devices.

  Diagnose and automatically fix the Windows USB problems

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

  1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

  Plug in the removable USB device and perform a test to ensure that the problem is solved
