no desktop background and dcom shutdown and plug-and-play stop messages

For about a month now, I have had no splash screen. I'll have to use the Task Manager to actually use my pc that is not too much a problem just annoying really, but then for the past days, windows has been close specifying a stop plug-and-play message or dcom. I went in administrative tools and services and tried to fix it but didn't work. I'm completely computer illiterate, so if someone can help please be understanding with your answer and use plain English please!

    First of all, I would like to inform you that if you check the box that says "Notify me when someone replies to this message" at the bottom of your message, you will get notification on the email that you used to post on the forum.

    According to the issue description slide show on your desktop (in the background) is blurry and bigger. The question could be if there is some corruption settings or drivers either get corrupt / needing an update.

    Then, I suggest you to try the steps in the following methods and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    Follow the steps below to set the desktop background and select the photo to fit the display.

    1. open the wallpaper by clicking on the Start button , by clicking on Control Panel, appearance and personalization, personalization, and then clicking desktop wallpaper.

    2 click on the image or color you want for your background.

    If the image you want to use is not in the list of background images to display, click the location of the image downwards arrow to view other categories, or click Browse to find the picture on your computer. When you find the image of your choice, double-click it. It will become your desktop wallpaper and appear in the list of desktop backgrounds.

    3. under how the image must be positioned, choose to have the picture fit the screen, tile, or be centered on the screen and then click OK, you can choose here to adapt to the screen.

    Method 2

    If the problem persists you can try the steps provided by Zeyou responded on February 11, 2011 in the following thread and see if it helps.

  • IPCC Express, option for the appellants out of the queue and leave a message.

    We are running 4.0 (5) IPCC Express improved. I need to configure our current ICD script so that when the appellants are held in the queue, they can press 0, out of the queue and leave a voice message. The ICD script we use is an exact copy of the script icd.aef by default on the system, it has just been copied and renamed. My question is, what are the steps I need to use the script to enable this feature?

    Two options. Option 1: Use the IPCC completely to save messages and manage messages as you seem to did so. Option 2: Transfer the caller to your voicemail number pilot and use your voice mail system to record the message.

    Steps to Option 1:

    1 early on in the script, use the step to read the Contact information call to capture the called number and save it as a variable.

    2. use the step to get a string to allow the caller to press 0 to leave a message. On the Filter tab, allow only the key 0 be hurry.

    3. in the leg successful step to get a string of digits, add the following steps.

    a. contact Dequeue step.

    b. reading quick step that contains a prompt that asks the caller to record a message after the tone.

    c. step recording, which records the message saved in a Variable of type "Invite".

    d. use the Terminate step to end communication with the appellant (you can add a quick step before that game if you want to tell the caller that the message has been saved).

    e. at this point, you can either use writing document step to record voice messages in a folder on the server of the IPCC, or you can use a series of other steps to place a call to the queue and play the message the following agent that meets, or you can attach it to an email and send it it make the address email of your choice (or a combination).

    I have this HUGE warning. I had several problems with what I've been able to overcome, but it requires a bit of diligence.

    -L' registration step requires a termination character (# or *). If the caller hangs just straight up, the script returns an exception and drop dead. You can manage the 'contactinactiveexception' using a step on the Exception and have it go to a label that you can put it as the first step under the leg successful registration step. In this way, if the user hangs up, the script handles the exception by going directly to the successful step. You can clear the exception just after that.

    -You will also want to handle this exception before Terminate step. If the caller hangs up and you try to put an end to this contact when he is no longer active, the script will always die, and the remaining steps will not run.

    We use the option to place a call in the queue. In itself, this requires a lot of thinking to make sure that the script is not die when an exception occurs. I ended up putting some exceptions in place where if there is a problem and that the recorded message never makes it to an agent, a log file is stored on the server as well as messages stored in a .wav file. Then, an email is sent to the contractor with these attachments also.

    Thus, it is as effective as make you it. Try to keep things simple at first, and then build on that to improve the experience of the appellants.

    Steps for Option 2:

    1. use the step to get a string to allow the caller to press 0 to leave a message. On the Filter tab, allow only the key 0 be hurry.

    2. in the leg successful step to get a string of digits, add the following steps.

    a. contact Dequeue step.

    b. call no redirection to the number voicemail pilot.

    I have not used this option, so I can't say with certainty how Callmanager will handle this call. The voicemail system will need to see the call as transmitted from a number that has a voice mail on the system account. If this does not work, you can use a dummy CTI Port with a fake extension that is configured to transfer to voicemail, then the voicemail box must be associated with the wrong extension. If you use Cisco Unity, you will also be able to use a routing rule to force the IPCC calls to a particular mailbox. Call the Viewer from the unity tools depot allows you to see the way in which the appeal is made to the unit.

    I hope that helps you and that it is not too verbose.

  • Desktop icons and lack of startmenu

    Something happened after my last reboot... and now my office just has an image quite fall, NO start menu, NO desktop icons, nothing.  It's like my current wallpaper covered (or hidden in some way) on my screen.  The last thing I did was to change my properties (topic, etc., I wanted to just look at a different background for awhile).  Everything was going well, I'm really good on execution of the antivirus, my disk, defragmentation, etc cleanup scans my PC (XP Pro, about 10 years old) is slow, but works well.   I had to reboot due to a security upgrade and subsequently, the OLD background came (autumn leaves, which was my experience about 4 months ago (why?), I change my desktop background every month, so why this old came after the restart, "ghost in the machine", I guess.)  The only thing I can do to access what all is to ctrl-alt-del to get the Task Manager and run commands from there (new task), not exactly the best way to do things, better than nothing.  Just before the restart, I did a symantec full virus scan, and everything seemed OK. Honestly I would just throw the thing out the window, but I just bought a new PC and really just transfer the photos from my child (ONLY of the COPIES I have about 2000 of them) and some documents.  I have a clickfree, works very well on the new PC, but does nothing when I plug it into the good old XP Pro PC.  I should just plug my old pc into my new, press a button and be able to transfer all my old stuff - which was anyway the room.  I know the info is there, but I can't to anything except the Task Manager. How can I get my Start menu, the desktop icons, etc., I feel that if I could get rid of this darn background, maybe I could see my real screen again.   I have a Microsoft disc, but when I plug it in, nothing happens.  I'm completely stunned.  I just want to get a start menu, or something so that I can transfer my old files over my new PC.  Can anyone help, pretty please? I can't get to anything, but it's all there, said the Task Manager.  This is of course a new one on me.  If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful.  Dinner is on me.

    The first time I tried to install an external hard drive (Packard Bell store and save) and the second time I tried with a modem that works with Mobile SIM cards.

    The modem is designed to work with Vista, my computer can recognize the model, but he finds no driver, so I can't use it. I'm sure that the two devices work properly because I use them on my desktop which has Windows as an operating system.

    Can you help me please?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Do you really think that Vista has obtained all the necessary drivers? I mean, you will need to install the driver files when Vista could not find anything. That's just logic and no mistake. It s more a mistake of thinking. :)

    So, go on the Web site of the manufacturer of your hardware "plug-n-play", download the drivers for Vista, install them and be happy with "plug-n-play" when you attach your devices.
