  • Problem with gadgets in windows 7

    I tried to add the clock acquired with the standard, but it wouldn't fit on the desktop. How can I solve this problem for the Office please?

    I don't know what is in the automated Jeeped command script, but I hope it helps.

    If it is not, or as some background...

    There is a question well documented between Windows 7 gadgets - especially the clock - and Internet Explorer 11.  You will find many posts in these forums from the rear at a time IE 11 has been published for the first time in an automatically installed Windows Update.

    There are 3 methods to solve the problem:

    1. Uninstall IE 11 and go back to IE 10
    2. Restore the size of the text in your office at 100% (the problem occurs when the text size is increased by using Control Panel > display > "Make it easier to read what's on your screen")
    3. Use the 'DrDivan55' patch, explained here--> http://www.ghacks.net/2013/11/18/fix-gadget-display-issues-ie11-installation-windows-7/
  • Problem with Gadgets

    I downloaded IE10. My calendar gadget showed the full month. I thought that the arrow on the sidebar gadget meant that it would be bigger. Instead, it will display only the date. How to return to the display of all the months?

    Hi Valerie,

    Thanks for the post.

    To extend the calendar to display the full month, move your mouse over the gadget and click on the expand button (arrow).

    You can also try removing and adding the calendar gadget.

  • Problems with PerfMon - cannot add counters

    Hello everyone.  I registered just to ask this question, which I couldn't find after a long time consult Google.  I come to you in the hope that when Google has failed, you will not!

    I use a program that some of you may be familiar, called Samurize (http://www.samurize.com/modules/news/), who does a lot of things; what I use for most allowed, in a blink of an eye, discern my CPU usage, RAM usage, information network, availability, hard disk space and my schedule on the calendar, among other things.  I know it is an old program and I know that it was designed for Windows 2000/XP, but it worked without a hitch (not including this one) on Vista and Windows 7.

    Recently, however, the ability to monitor CPU, RAM, upload and speed of download and availability has disappeared; all of them give me a flatline, statement I use no internet at all or my computer also (with the exception of availability, which reports that I have been on my computer for 49 days, 17 hours, 2 minutes and 47 seconds... he refuses to go to the top!).  Initially I thought it was a problem with the program.  It is not; It has something to do with Perfmon.  When I load perfmon.exe through the box run, it loads up with an error that says:

    "Cannot add these counters:

    \Memory\Available MB
    \Memory\% committed bytes used
    Defects of \Memory\Cache/s
    Defects of \Memory\Cache/s
    Time to \%Idle \PhysicalDisk (*)
    \PhysicalDisk (*) \Avg disk queue length
    \Network interface (*) \Bytes Total/sec.

    This isn't me accidentally say the same thing twice... it says what I typed on verbatim. [Edit:] Just remembered: other system monitors are perfectly fine.  Of course the Task Manager works well, but gadgets seem to work fine in my use of RAM and CPU, as well as my download balance sheet and download speeds. [/ Edit]

    It's pretty much the sum of my progress on the problem.  I found this page (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/300956), which seems like it might solve the problem... but being a lazy man boned, I hope that there is a simpler solution than that, those who are not "reformat".

    Any other relevant information:

    Windows 7 x 64 professional
    Updated with all official updates
    Recently spent Wi - Fi cable (apart from that, I can't thing of any change that I did with my computer)

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello SensaiOpti,

    I had the same problem. A level that your pointers to the perfmon counters are damaged, you must re-create these with LODCTR from an elevated command prompt:

    Click Start, type cmd click right cmd.exeand select run as administrator.
    At the prompt, type lodctr /r and press ENTER. This allows to repair the pointers (those that are stored in the registry).


    C:\Windows\System32>lodctr/r

    Info: Rebuilt successfully setting from system backup store performance counter

    After this action, it is possible that some providers are disabled. You can check the status with lodctr/q.

    C:\Windows\System32>lodctr/q
    Performance counter ID queries [PERFLIB]:
    Based index: 0 x 00000737 (1847)
    Last counter text ID: 0 x 00001560 (5472)

    etc.

    If she says (disabled) next to a provider, you can activate it with lodctr/e:. Use for the string between the [] at the beginning of the entry.

  • Problems with mail after switching to macOS Sierra

    Hey all

    After having recently upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am unable to read my mail.

    I get the following error every time I check on "Get Mail".

    There may be a problem with the mail server or the network. Check the account settings "*" or try again.

    The server returned the error: Mail could not connect to the server 'pop1.tribcsp.com' using SSL on the default ports. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.

    What does this error message mean and how can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    I see your message that you get an error in the mail indicating that there is a problem with the mail server or the network.  To help get this problem resolved, I suggest that you follow the steps below:

    If mail refers to a problem with the mail server, or the network

    Mail will say that it is impossible to connect due to a problem with the mail server or the network. For example, the message may refer to a connection that has expired, or too many simultaneous connections:

    If you are connected to the Internet, but the connection has expired, your email provider might be affected by a discontinuance of service. Contact them or see their status Web page to ensure that their e-mail service is online. Examples of status pages:

    If the message indicates the number of simultaneous connections, too many of your devices is check your e-mail account at the same time. Quit Mail on one or more of your other devices.

    If you are still unable to send or receive e-mails

    1. Make sure that you have installed latest version of the Mac software updates, especially if the problem occurred immediately after the installation of a previous update.
    2. In OS X El Capitan or later version, you can see a status icon and the short error message in the upper right of the Mail window, under the search box. The message may indicate 'Network offline' or 'Connection failed', for example. Click the message to see more details on the issue.
    3. Check your connection to the Mail connection doctor. It might be able to say more on the issue.

    If you cannot send or receive e-mail on your Mac.

    Take care.

  • Anyone having problems with the new iPhone LTE connection 7 on Verizon?

    I am now on my iPhone second 7 with Verizon. I had four phones for me and my family. I have now had issues where I have no signal in the same areas where my signal allows to be strong. I can't solve the problem with the activation/deactivation of the airplane and then mode again in normal mode. My phone will rest with no signal for 5 minutes, then going to LTE with three bars. I also had the problem where I had only 1 x signal, while my son standing right next to me has LTE. And he had the same questions, where I'm on LTE and it gets no signal. I use to have LTE where I live and work all the time, now it's spotty at best. Apple has replaced me and my sons iPhones but not luck. Still do. Any ideas or an any other suffering?

    (1) go to settings/cell phone/cellular data Options/enable LTE and select ONLY the DATA. This seems to solve the problem (as a temporary solution) for most of the people affected by this problem. The bad part is your request might not be as clear (since they cannot use the highest LTE signals) and you can make calls and data at the same time. But it does not solve the issue.

    (2) there are rumors (but you didn't hear that from me that we only are not supposed to discuss beta software program Apple in this forum) that the new version of Apple Beta for iOS (which also includes an update of the software carrier Verizon to 26.0) seems to solve this problem. So, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Problem with some fonts of symbols after the installation of the Sierra

    Hello

    I have recently upgraded the OS on my iMac late 2012 for Sierra, since doing so, I noticed a problem with several fonts.

    All symbolic symbols Apple to Wingdings fonts not correctly displayed in the font book. Apple symbols looks like a standard wheelbase of san, and other symbolic fonts just show as question marks '?' where the images should be.

    In text editing, that I can't even see the symbolic fonts like Zapf Dingbats and Wingdings in the selector. However, they all work well in Adobe Illustrator (CS5) and Microsoft Word 2011. Apple symbols still looks like a standard font.

    I already tried the following:

    1. check the fonts in font book

    2 fix the duplicates in the font book

    3. using the "Restore Standard fonts" option in the font book

    4 deleting a file in the folder Preferences plist Fonts

    5 deleted the cache of police and the database

    I'm out of ideas. Has anyone else had the same problem found a fix?

    Kind regards

    Greville

    I'm just to add that I used the recovery partition to do a clean install of Sierra on a hard drive external and then booted into it to see if it had the same problem.

    And he does. Wingdings and other photo fonts appear as '?' in boxes where the letters must be in the font book.

    So this seems like a problem with the way Sierra displays these fonts, not with the font files themselves.
