On a Dell laptop my layout Windows 7 keeps returning to the fashion landscape. Why and how can I fix?

I have a Dell laptop that is about two years old the 1500 series. Recently the impressions started out in landscape mode, and I noticed that in the world - on my scanner, printer, and in Word 7 - installation default page in portrait mode kept returning to landscape mode. "Corrections" that I found online seem to describe programs that do not exist on my computer, and I'm stumped on what to do to fix this problem. Please, if you can help, write in simple English. I have one is not a computer technician. Thank you, Bill

  • If you are using windows 7 in xp mode my display settings are low and I can't adjust the parameters of why and how can I fix

    why I can't change my screen with windows 7 in xp mode and how could solve the problem

    Hi tmjmech,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Settings and change integration features

    When you run XP Mode, it is possible to change the material and data that are automatically integrated into the virtual pc. To change these settings when in Office XP Mode, click the Tools menu and select settings. You will now be in the settings of the virtual machine screen and click on the category of integration features . From there, you can specify what material and features that you want to embed or share with your desktop computer XP Mode.

    These features are:

    ·         Audio - this must be disabled so that you have the best performance. It should be noted that even with this unchecked, all its XP desktop mode will still play through the sound card of your host.

    ·         Clipboard - if this is enabled, then you will be able to copy and paste between XP Mode and your normal desktop.

    ·         Printer - Sharing host your printer with XP Mode.

    ·         Smart cards - XP Mode allows access to the host chip cards.

    ·         Disk - XP mode to access the host players, which include hard disks, CD/DVD players and removable media.

    All changes made to the above settings will be persistent every time that you start the XP Mode. However, if you disable the integration of a particular session, you can click on the Tools menu and then select disable integration features. This will make it so that you do not have access to one of the resources of the host. To enable access to these resources, simply click on the option to enable integration features in the Tools menu.

    Change the XP Mode Virtual Machine settings

    If you find that XP Mode does not work as fast as you want to, or you want to add more features, you must change some settings in your settings in Virtual PC for XP Mode. To change these settings, you must first stop XP Mode so that it is not in a State of hibernation. To do this, click on the menu on Ctrl + Alt + Delete , and then click close on the screen that appears.

    When XP Mode stopped, click the Start Menu, select all programs, Windows Virtual PC, scroll down and then click on Windows Virtual PC icon. You should now see a list of your Virtual PC, including Windows XP Mode. Right click on Windows XP Mode, and select settings. Now that Windows XP Mode is stopped, you can change the settings of your virtual machine. The parameters that you may consider to change to increase the performance and reliability are:

    1 memory
    -if you find that your applications are running slowly, then you can raise it so that your applications have access to more memory system.

    2 hard drives
    -you are able to add more 2 hard disks to your Windows XP Mode. So if you need to add another disk to your Windows XP Mode, you can do here. This will allow you to create a second disk on another physical drive of your computer to improve performance.

    3. cancel the disks - disks of cancellations allow you to create a base of your installation of Windows XP Mode image and then save all changes in a disc of cancellations. So if you need start from your base image, you just go back to settings and ignore the changes in your drive of cancellations. The next time that you start Windows XP Mode, you will be back to the basic configuration with any changes you have made to scrap. I suggest that everyoneturn this option on because it only increases the safety of your installation of Windows XP Mode.

    When you have completed your changes, just click the OK button to save the changes.

    When you then start Windows XP Mode, these settings will now be implemented.

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact).

    It is not possible. You must use a third-party software to do or contact the manufacturer.

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • When I start my computer it say about window/system32/drivers/atapi.sys is missing or damaged. How can I fix?

    I received the error 0xc0000098. It tells me to insert the windows disk of vista that came with my computer, and when the load cd prompt tells me to repair my computer, I did it or not this result more than once. I can always get on my computer, however and connect to windows vista. However if I don't close my computer property (Hold in the power button until it stops) the message back please help me that I'm not sure what's going on?

    Hello

    ATAPI.sys is a cable of the controller driver, and it is probably corrupt or be damaged when you stop correctly.

    First of all, start to close properly, don't hold simply the power. Do not close properly, it's like running your car into a brick wall to stop. You may be able to restart, but you did damage that could possibly be irreparable.

    Second, follow these steps to repair the corrupted file: click on start and type CMD, then right click on the entry that appears in the start menu and choose 'run as administrator '. Click on continue in the UAC prompt. Then, from the command line, run:

    sfc/scannow

    It will take time to run and do not use the system while it is. Once completed, restart the system and see if the error persists. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

  • Windows Explorer keeps returning to the file at the top of the file

    I recently started to experience a problem with the Windows Explorer. When I display the contents of a folder with many files or folders in there, so that the vertical scrolling is necessary, I find that if I scroll down (by any method), after about seven seconds, the display returns to show the files/folders at the top of the list, regardless of the question to know if I still have my finger on the mouse button. Also, if I try to change a file name, if I'm not done in 7 seconds approximately., it restores the original file name and any change that I was typing is lost.

    Any suggestions?

    Problem seems to be fixed, thank you.
    Methods 1 and 2 did not find any problem. Method 3 (Clean Boot) disappear the problem (of the erratic behavior of windows Explorer). I removed several non-Microsoft services that I don't think are necessary and restored Normal startup. The cause of the problem is somewhere between the services that I stopped, but I don't know which application is the culprit. However, none of these services are required and the system boots faster without them!

    I also discovered - finally - how to defeat the free trial of Bullguard I want!

    Thank you
    Keith.
