My TV screen works as a monitor, but I can't turn on my computer with the fact that it is my first choice
Hey!
I recently tried to hook up my TV to my office to use as a monitor, and it works! It's a VIZIO HDTV but I can not get the HDMI cable to fit all, so I'm just using a VGA cable!
Graphics card is a Radeon 5800 series.
My problem is that when my computer is turned off and the TV is plugged in, I can't get a good picture when I turn it on. The resolution is just terrible, far too zoomed in.
The only way I can get the TV to work, is if I turn on my computer with the trendy first regular computer monitor and then pass the cable VGA to TV.
I have to do this every single time to use my computer to the TV.
My friend can just start sound with TV connected without any problem. I'm not sure why I can't.

I changed my password online, but I can always sign in my PC with the old password
To connect to online services, you must use your password later. However, we recognize that sometimes you just need to get to a document on your PC and may not have an internet connection to validate your password more later. In this case, we you always let connect you to your PC using the last known password, but then when you want to use services online, we will ask you your last password as soon as we need to authenticate you.

This just started today. (I believe that yesterday there was an 8.1 automatic Windows Update when I shutdown - don't know if that is related.) Anyway, when I click on a video VIMEO - video VIMEO ALL - everything I get is video (photo), but no sound.
If I go to the same link in Internet Explorer, the same VIMEO video and audio play perfectly.
Videos from other sites, Youtube, etc all work seamlessly in a browser.

Packer of creative cloud in creating a package that I can install do not. He goes through the motions, download all updates, create setup file, but it does not work despite the fact that there are no errors in the log files
After hitting my head against the desk to repeatedly create packages, try on different computers I have finally found a solution.
These packages have been copied on an external drive, if I try and install from the external drive, which is a common practice, it fails.
If I then copy this file pkg from the outside, to the computer I install, then run it, it will to and moved very well.
That is mind-boggling stupid, because it's rare that you have to copy the file into any computer, it is less always installed off the coast of externally, and many people in the company are pushing on the network and the management of the suites so there is a serious problem in Adobe package manager if this is the case where it cannot manage the Middle installed offshore.
I hope that if anyone else is having problems so it suits.

A new Firefox window opens when I click on the pdf file, but it is empty, no menu or toolbars. Allowed to plug-in and it seems ok.
Try using Firefox to solve the problems in Safe Mode, that will reduce the possibility of some extensions that affect something, Firefox but NOT make changes to the first window of dialogur sure you see wth boxes, just click continue.
The problem may be with the Web sites, can you give some examples, please with the URL to the address bar. I have XPs and Firefox 5 is available and try the sites.

I reinstalled the air combat Simulator 3 but he can't play. He gets at the beginning and then freezes. I've got shield deluxe antivirus 2009. He has not done this with the 2008 deluxe version of shield. Yet, I can play any other game.
Hi gullo56,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.
To help you better I would ask,
a. If it functioned very well under Windows 7 before?
· I suggest you to disable your firewall security software and check if you are able to play the game.
From the link below, what I discovered is Microsoft Flight Simulator 3 is not completely compatible with Windows 7, but I would suggest that you follow the steps below to help troubleshoot your problem.
1. as Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 is supported by Microsoft Windows Vista to function normally, I suggest you run this program in Vista compatibility mode in Microsoft Windows 7.
For information about how to run a program in an earlier version of Windows, visit the link below,
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
2. you can also try to reduce the hardware acceleration and check if it solves your problem,
1. Click Start-> Control Panel-> appearance and personalization.
2. under customization, click on adjust the screen resolution.
3. in the display settings dialog box, click the Advanced Settings button.
4. in the monitor Properties dialog box, click the Troubleshooting tab.
5. click on the change settings button.
6. in the Security dialog box, click on continue.
7 move the hardware acceleration slider to none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.
8. click on OK.
9. restart Windows.
Hope this information helped you.
Kind regards

Original title: user profile
My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button. I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything. I don't know what to check.
Hello rhunter15,
There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.
First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.
- Click Start
- Click on all programs
- Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
- Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Click on command prompt
- Type SFC/scannow.
It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.
To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem. For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.
If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.
Thank you

I had a problem with Lightroom on Microsoft Surface 3. I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map. The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '. I worked around this by mounting a network directory containing photos and imported from there. Is it possible to stop Lightroom to see such a map as a camera?
I have not tested, but it should work with Lightroom:

Not sure what happens if you remove the card and put in a similar SD card. I would like to test it so that you know what to expect.
