Computer does not display the Sansa Clip
For about a week, my computer no longer displays my Sansa Clip when I plug upward with the USB cable. I can still hear the computer, the connection of detection, but it does not show in Windows Explorer, as before. I checked the setting on the clip and it sees - USB - Auto detection. If I change this meteorological service of the Canada, Windows Explorer displays the clip and folders, but the folders are empty. However, the files are still on the clip and play. Need to know what is happening, so I can add other files to my clip.
Thanks for the inside. I just do what you say and everything works fine now. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Desktop computer does not display the computers on the network after waking from sleep.
Both computers work on Vista Home Basic. Problem started after computers, the router and a DSL modem has been turned off and unplugged. After the awakening of the day before, the Office would display only the router and the laptop, but the way that he could not establish. Initially, a reboot of the desktop computer has solved the problem.
Reset and re-installed the router. The three elements of the network were visible after the start, but IE 8 soon at the opening of the homepage. Again, after "standby" mode, only the router and the laptop displayed.
After additional restart, only the router is displayed. The laptop shows all three elements and accessing office files.
Suggestions?
MikeHi Syed,
I did a full reset/reinstall the router, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. Both computers are displayed in each of their respective lists of network, even after waking up from sleep mode.
This issue is resolved.
Thank you

When I'm looking in the Properties tab for the device in Device Manager I get - Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
BUT when checking for an update as I get - the best driver for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.
I tried to uninstall and reboot, but it does not help.

After installing a new SSD following a failed hard drive and reloading Windows 7, I decided to move from Chrome to Firefox. Now all my regular sites show subtle differences, as if some detail has been missed. A forum I visit is more a grid that separates each topic, etc. the author answers. When I went to ask this question here, that I had to search for the box to type in the question by moving the mouse around until it became a cursor. Formatting is bad compared to Chrome, and some links are hard to find. I tried all the suggestions I can find help and Support.
Firefox fits Windows themes 'High contrast' differently from other browsers. You can switch to always using styles page, if you wish, even with a high contrast theme. You'd do that here:
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content
Click colors, and then change the 'ignore colors specified on the page with my selections above' menu drop down to never and OK outside. Pages should appear by using the styles specified by the site.
That solve this problem, for the most part? There could still be some differences that remain, but that should help you get started.

the preview window does not show the document that I'm about to print in Sierra
The preview window does not display the document that I'm about to print. This problem started as soon as I upgraded to Sierra. It occurs in many applications - including in Microsoft Excel 2011.
Hello, David Bry1,.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
I understand that when you try to print from a number of different applications, you do not see the preview of the document you are printing. I would like to assure you that I see the preview as well when I print. Let's see how we can get this resolved.
I advise you to ensure that the printer software is up-to-date on your printer Brother DCP-7065DN. Please choose 'Available Software' brother printer and scanner software for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and Mavericks
If a software update is available, please install and then test and see if you get the same result.

I need to install Microsoft NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1, as it is necessary to perform a Dell diagnostic Test, but I've been advised that: Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. Requirement: Windows install 3.1.
However, when I look at the download page of Windows Installer 3.1 is not actually as for XP with SP3. I tried anyway and: Setup has determined that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update. Well actually it is there...
Is there a way to get around this?

Whenever I want to check computer (memory) space available on each drive, click on the 'computer' logo, it does not display the response on the screen. Instead, it displays a screen with a message "Windows Explorer has stopped working" for a few minutes and then returns to the original display. I get the same answer, whenever I click on the "control panel" logo I need advice how to solve this problem. Thank you.

I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.
I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.
My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.
Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.
Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I tried Microsoft Fix It, and he told me that there is no CD drive. I can not re - install a driver because the Device Manager does not display the CD players.
I did not major changes to my computer I know so I can't imagine what the problem is. Help?

computer does not list the available wireless networks
My computer is used to list all available wireless networks I could choose, but now not a list of people or don't allow me to search for available networks. I'm in a place where I know there is a wireless network available, however, my computer will not display it or no matter what other networks unless I plug in an ethernet cable to my computer. Then, it connects, but still does not display the wireless options. Help, please!
Looking for a switch on the case of the computer that turns on and off wireless networking. Check the manual of the computer user to see if there is a combination of keys, such as Fn + F5, which turns on and off wireless networking. Boulder computer Maven
