  Hi Byron,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I do not understand that you are unable to connect to Windows to receive the updates and run Windows Defender and I'll be happy to answer your query.

• Trying to turn I pic on my laptop running Windows 7 in windows photo viewer

  Try to turn I pic on my laptop running Windows 7 in the windows photo viewer, but the icon is grayed out. I try to do the same photo on my other PCs running Windows 7 allows me to turn. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

  The grey appearance indicates the file is hidden...

  Right-click on the file and choose... Properties...

  Uncheck "Hidden" / apply / OK.

  The following information may provide a partial explanation of why
  the file is hidden:

  I saw that many reports edition-turn can translate into
  photos becoming hidden. There is a possibility that the
  problem may be related to an update from McAfee.

  Might be interesting to try to change the following setting and
  Perhaps the photos will be re - appear.

  Windows Vista - Show hidden files

  Windows 7 - show hidden files

  If the photo thumbs reappear... they can look washed out...
  to clear this up... right click on a picture or a selected group
  and choose... Properties, uncheck the 'hidden ' /.
  Apply / OK.

• on my laptop running windows 7 more information disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons - everything I can see tabs - how do the lack of points to display

  Missing on my laptop running windows 7, all the info displayed at the top of the home page. All headings, i. e. file, change the view etc. disappeared. There is no address bar. There is no "home button", the button refresh, etc.. My wife was using the machine when it happened, so I don't know what she was doing. How to restore these features?

  most of the information has disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons

  When all the toolbars are missing, you are probably in full screen view, press F11 to toggle mode full-screen, or you can move the cursor to the top of the screen.

  The real problems you describe all set thanks to an extension and customization, see 01:10 steps later...

  You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

  • http://dmcritchie.MVPs.org/Firefox/Firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface

  It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

  Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar.

• Errors and warnings in Event Viewer in the field of applications on a laptop running Windows 7.

  I receive a number of warning and an error message in the event viewer in the field of applications on a laptop running Windows 7.  Is there a way to fix this or fix another way?

  Here are some notes on the event viewer reports that can help you. When you have a lot of mistakes, you need to focus on system errors and warnings, even if it's the applications that are giving you grief. Problems with the first sorting system can do the easier application problems. Note the time that the computer is started last and deal first with those at the beginning of the boot. Correct previous errors can be solved later.

  1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

  2 Event Viewer includes four major newspapers in Windows. These are application, security and system with Applications and Service logs as a source more details... For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

  3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

  4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the button copy on the general tab allows you to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

  6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

  7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

  8. for Vista and Windows 7 Google is the best source of information. Search for selected text in the Description part of the report (not of the particular words of phrases) that "this exact word or phrase" Gets the best results. Focus on Social Technet and Microsoft Answers reports in the last 12 months. Look elsewhere if a response is difficult to find.

  I need help pass my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise. I have in vain two routes. I have the installation CD, it does not autoplay. I run Autoplay.exe in the root directory, I'm greeted, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the choice window Install / explores, with the install button already selected, click the button in Photoshop, CD towers, and nothing happens. In the 2^nd attempt I run Setup.exe in the directory of Photoshop and nothing happens at all the. I'm never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

  There is probably a problem of compatibility between the old software and the more recent operating system.

• I can't get my psc1210 to work on my new laptop running windows 7.

  I can't get my psc1210 to work on my new laptop running windows 7.  I followed all the advice on the HP support pages, but nothing helped. some of the things I've tried:

  (a) followed by editing according to the http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02658990 it happens according to plan exccept that when windows 7 detects and tries to install the drivers, it fails. No details given on which iot fails. Troubleshooting process does not help

  (b) follow instructions as per http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02681060 however, the installation wizard detects that the printer drivers are not installed and just leaves everything!
