  • MY COMPUTER KEEPS GIVING ME THE MESSAGE THAT MY PRINTER IS OFFLINE, SO I CAN'T PRINT, AND YET I AM STLL CONNECTED...

    I 'TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE PRINTER, BUT WHEN REINSTALLING THE PRINTER ERROR MESSAGES KEEP POPPING UP.

    What is the manufacturer, the brand and model of the printer?  Which version of Vista you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2)?  This printer has already worked with this computer with this version of Vista installed?  You get EXACTLY are re-setup error messages (Word to Word and each of them), and when they occur?  How the printer is connected to the computer (LPT2 cable, ethernet cable, wireless, network, although the connection with another computer,...)?  The fact that the printer is not install is almost certainly the cause of the problem, you know what happens (or doesn't happen).

  • How to use a function switch box to the reference that is used several times in the previous drop-down list options?

    I use JavaScript coding in LiveCycle and development of dependent drop-down areas, but I find it difficult to write correct code. See the example below. I'm trying to use a multiple box function that refers to an option that is listed several times in the previous pull-down menu. The problem I am running into is that when I refer to any color or Nissan and Chevy, it returns the results of the color in the "Ford" column only. I'll always see color (blue, black, green and purple) options in my second drop-down list and it seems fine, but then the third drop reference only the options and colors 'Ford '. (I don't have the code for the third menu list drop-down).

    I want the client to choose Chevy or Nissan and have her drop downs (based on the color they chose)-dependent, but I can't seem to make this work.

    I hope it is clear enough (probably as mud...). I would appreciate help!

    Form1. #subform [0]. #subform [1]. cboModels::exit - (JavaScript, client)

    cboColor.clearItems ();

    {Switch (this.) RawValue)}

    case "Ford":

    cboColor.addItem ("Blue");

    cboColor.addItem ("Black");

    cboColor.addItem ("Green");

    cboColor.addItem ("Purple");

    break;

    case 'Chevy ':

    cboColor.addItem ("Blue");

    cboColor.addItem ("Black");

    break;

    case "Nissan":

    cboColor.addItem ("Blue");

    cboColor.addItem ("Black");

    cboColor.addItem ("Green");

    break;

    }

    cboPrice.addItem ("blah");

    cboPrice.addItem ("blah");

    break;

    case 'Chevy ':

    case "green":

  • computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally

    Original title: stuck

    My computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally. When I choose that it just goes back to the same screen. stuck in this screen

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

    I cannot perform certain functions because he says that I'm not an administrator, but it's my computer and I'm the only person who uses this computer

    What are the functions? More global changes (changes to the system, software installation) require an elevation in Vista/Windows 7.

    Changes to the built-in Vista administrator account

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=942956

    User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I had to rebuild the computer and reinstalled the photos of cecently.  I have photos imported into Lightroom, but the parameters associated with the photos, that is to say. When they were developed, are not there.  How to import these?

    I recently had to rebuild the computer and reinstalled the photos.  I have photos imported into Lightroom, but the parameters associated with the photos, that is to say. When they were developed, are not there.  How to import these?

    Default LR stores all changes in the catalog file, not in the pictures. So if you have a backup of your original catalog you will need to copy on the newly rebuilt system and open it in LR. You will then need to recreate a link to the images in the catalog depending on where are your images and where the original LR catalogue think they are.

  • I deleted my gmail account just now and realized that it was the email that I used for my sync now.

    Hi all, thanks ahead for any help. I use sync for awhile now and works a lot and on all my devices. Now my problem is that I forgot the email that I use for my sync now has been deleted and I don't know how to change it. I save all the bookmarks and Favorites, but wanted to know if there was a simple way to change my sync now email to another gmail email address. Don't want to lose anything in case I have delete and then try to load my sync now the recovery key does not work with the new email.

    Sorry, you cannot change the user name (your email address) on a sync account.

    Set up a new sync account on a portable office/computer with the other Gmail account, but before you who make sure to separate all of your devices to your current synchronization account. Then connect your other devices to the new sync account.
