  • When I try to change my lock screen wallpaper I get error saying "setting of the lock screen has failed. Please try again ".

    Original title: locking error screen

    Hello. I use Win 8 Pro x 64 and I'm having a problem affecting the lock screen wallpaper. I am the admin of the machine and Windows is activated.

    After a few days ago, Windows stopped to change my lock screen background. When I try to change it, the error is displayed on the screen:

    LOCK SCREEN ERROR

    Setting the lock screen has failed. Please try again.
    However, I can still change my profile picture and the bottom of the start menu.
    Other users of the computer can change the lock screen normally. My user account is linked to my Outlook.com account as well as others.
    I already tried the other 'solutions' out there: in doing a selective startup with msconfig, disable services applications at startup and also manually delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData". Needless.
    I also have the feeling of other users on the web: it's somehow connected to some Windows updated published these days.
    I would appreciate any help on this matter.

    Hi, Tadasha. Thanks for the reply.

    In regards to KB 2770917 updates, I already installed it on my Win 8 as well as others (I keep the OS always up to date). So it has not really helped but thanks.
    On the tip of the gob0nkers is not really the case here, because I don't want to set a wallpaper of single lock for each user (in fact I had already read his answer to the question of ch). So far I have found no article on the web by offering an effective way to work around the problem.
    What I've done: created another user profile and abandoned the old (who introduced the problem). I think that it is related to the file the user AppData or something.
    So far things are working well with the new profile of the user.
    Thanks for the help!

  • I am not able to change the video quality for you tube. There are only two options 360 and Auto. Please help me.

    Hi I am experiencing strange problem for 15 to 20 days and I am not able to change the video quality for you tube. There are only two options 360 and Auto. Help me please if you can because I have a slow internet connection and I want to play video at 240, as it was before. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Could check you whether YouTube is to serve its HTML5 player or the player based on Flash? If you right click on the drive, short a context menu should appear. If the full Firefox context menu is displayed, press and release the ALT key to erase that. The last line of the menu short usually indicates which player he is.

    I'll assume HTML5 because...

    On Windows 7, Firefox should show a wide range of formats in the HTML5 player. However, if some of the features of media are disabled, preventing video MP4 decoding, then YouTube offers only 360 p (with WebM coding).

    If you have intentionally disabled Media Foundation and/or DirectShow in topic: config, then perhaps you would prefer to use the YouTube Flash Player? There are a few Add-ons that can force YouTube to serve you a Flash drive. Either of them will do, you don't need both:

  • dcd5800 sff desktop PC: dc 5800 sff I m not able to change the bios setting

    How to get the password of the bios

    as I m having dc 5800 sff f10 bios password I forgot kindly help as I not able to change the bios setting

    Updated the BIOS will not clear the password.

    You can try pressing and the little button cmos clear yellow with the jumper removed password and see if that does anything.

    I think that the motherboard has a problem because removing the rider of P/O should have removed the password.

    Now turn you on the PC with the jumper removed, correct?

    You turn off the PC and unplug him.  You then remove the jumper P/W and then turn on the PC.

    That's when the P/W should be cleared.

    Then you shut down the computer, unplug and replace the rider of P/W.

  • APEX 5 - not able to change the theme template

    Hello

    I created a new application in 5 APEX using 25 blue sensitive theme.

    I'm not able to directly change a template theme.

    I copied one of the page template and then edited the copied one.

    Why I am not able to change a theme template directly in the APEX 5?

    Appreciate your help.

    Thank you

    Deepak

    Hello

    No, this is not true. If you

    1. go to the components shared-> themes
    2. Choose the 25 theme
    3. Click on the "Unsubscribe" button in the subscription area "theme".

    You can start making any changes to the 25 theme as you are accustomed to APEX 4.2.

    A default subscription for all provided APEX of the themes has been introduced to make it easier for customers to meet changes in theme in a later version of the APEX without having to worry if changes could have been made to the theme of the application. Our suggest is that if it is necessary to modify an existing template, copy so that it is obvious that it is a custom editing. These copied models will not be affected when a topic gets updated.

    BTW, I suggest having a look at the universal theme 42 - if you start with a new application.

    Hi all

    I am not able to change the plan of the quality during the inspection of reception using the task of ACEM.

    Please suggest what to do on the priority.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Piyush Kudawalee

    Hello

    If you use functions much jump, then you must add a new plan of the quality in the settings of jumps.

    Please go to the root of quality > process lots Skip parameters > application process of Skip lot number attached to the elements > go to settings to jump > add plan new collection...

    This will show you the two quality LIMM and Oracle plans. You can add as many plans as you want and can restrict their in asigning to specific jump lot.

    The quality plan is failing because there can be only plan quality attached to jump a lot.

    NOTE: Please indicate the post as helpful or answered if the update has really helped you. This would also bring the wire to the logical conclusion and will be useful for viewers.
