Problems with Windows Explorer and files?

• Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files

  When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.

  Hi Flingle,

  Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?

  You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Problems with Windows Update and load XP SP3

  I had a problem with my system and had to replace my HARD drive and reload XP and all my applications and data.  Now, I installed SP2 and try to install SP3. Windows Update does not work (get the 080244019 error code x) and when I try to install the SP3 files from the Microsoft site, it'll run about halfway through and then stop and hang, displaying the message "Finish Installation" with bar at halfway of the progression.  I tried the MSRT and FixIt nothing helps.  I checked services.msc to see all the required services are enabled or started.  I read that some malware will be stop some services without notice.

  After a few attempts to load the file SP3 failed, check Add/Remove programs in Control Panel Windows XP Service Pack lists 3 but no file size or to update the date information as with other programs.  My browser is IE8 and I was doing some Hot fix for Windows XP downloads, this adventure started about 3 weeks ago, but no other automatic update downloads.  I use the following McAfee provided by my ISP for protection AV and firewall with regular full scans.  Scan today revealed there is apparently a single trojan file that cannot be deleted, but there were no further details.  My system is also fully functional; I seem to get the updates for McAfee and other applications OK but not SP3.  I received or otherwise installed following updates or Hot Fix for XP downloads in the past 3 weeks:

  I found an answer on another forum on editing the registry for the "/ Edit EDWARD CSDVersion value ' but have not yet tried waiting for any response to this request.  I'd like some useful suggestions.  Thank you and happy new year!

  Thanks for the quick response.  I did some checking on my system, I have XP Home Edition ships with the system bought in July 2007.  Add/Remove Programs shows that the aborted install XP SP3 and IE8 installation; I tried to load the SP2 file but it doesn't show here as an addition, so it may have been part of the original XP CD and I just crush.  Even for IE7 so I am not able to drop back to all recommend you.  I will try your solution later today and post my results. I saved SP2, SP3 and IE8 in my office and a flash player to reload later according to your instructions.  Stay tuned.

• Problem with Windows Fax and Scan.

  I have a Canon MG5420 and Win7 64-bit.  All of a sudden, the Office does not see the scanner.  The print function continues to operate correctly.  Problem occurs regardless of USB or WiFi connection.  The only change in my system is a migration towards Office365.  Other than that, no change. I tried all the basics: refreshed drivers, uninstalled the printer and re-installed.  Any thoughts on what could be the cause?  I get the message error is "No. scanners were detected.  The utility Scan Canon IJ can see the scanner, but I prefer to use the Windows fax and scan.  Any ideas?

  Unfortunately his is possible because there are different drivers and stacks of driver for the printer and the component the same multifunction device installed on the client computer scanner. In a case when the right printer driver is installed and available from the scanner driver may be missing or may be incompatible with Windows Fax and Scan requires the parser must be WIA 2.0 compatible, a TWAIN compatible scanner only for example will not work with this app).

• Adobe Type Manager problem with Windows 7 and DIN fonts file extension appears not

  I have Windows 7 and for some reason, I can't install Adobe Type Manager on my computer.

  I need ATM to install the DIN font but I'm having no luck what so ever.

  I can see the police DIN in my Dropbox, but it appears like this: - ._DIN-"BOLD", no file extension. what I am doing wrong? What is Mac?

  Adobe Type Manager absolutely cannot be installed on Windows 7. In fact, even to try to install it may corrupt your installation of operating system and its ability to make properly Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts. The latest version of Windows for which ATM was compatible at all was Windows XP, 32-bit only!

  Adobe Type Manager is not at all necessary to install fonts, fonts, Type 1 on Windows 7 systems. Right click on the file of fonts for TrueType of OpenType CFF fonts or the. PFM file for Type 1 fonts and select the installation option.

  You try to install the font file is for MacOS. It cannot be installed on Windows.

• Is problem with Windows Explorer (not Internet Expl.) - possible to reinstall this software or update?

  I have several problems which, after some time, can be attributed to a problem with the Windows Explorer (not: Internet Explorer)

  Examples:

  -files are not finished (so that they remain in a queue forever) (this happens every time)

  -When I try to replace a file from one directory to another this process is at a standstill (occurring rarely)

  -When I shut down, I get a message that trying explore but unable to play the fine tune (sometimes)

  -in Word, I get printer messages not responded or other problems with opening files-Word (sometimes).

  Remarkable (?): boot in normal mode is always successful, even after the crash on shutdown.

  Question:

  -is it possible to reinstall this software or update?

  - or something is needed to get a solution?

  Hi Niels,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2 did you recent hardware or changes to the software of the system?

  Method 1:

  Step 1:

  You can check if the problem occurs in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2:

  If you are not faced with the question in safe mode, then you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

  You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  In addition, after you fix the problem, you can see step 7 above to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 2:

  If you are faced with the question in safe mode, you can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

• Problem with windows update and get Vista service Pack2 installed

  I'm running Windows Vista Home premium with service pack 1 installed. I have 2.00 GB of memory and running a 32-bit operating system

  When I open some websites it comes immediately closes and you said "Internet explorer cannot open this site" then the cottage site and says '' abandoned operation. ''

  So I thought I would upgrade my system. Whenever I have shut down my computer it asks to install updates - I have let that happen, it always lists the same updates and even though it shows that they have been correctly installed. Next time I'll look in the list of updates - the same updates appear. When I try to update to Internet explorer 6 to 8 or 9 it says I need service pack 2. When I try to install service pack 2, I thought after I have started to install pack 2, service pack 1 must be installed. When I download and try to install service pack 1, it indicates that service pack 1 is already installed.

  Any ideas on how to get my internet explore updated would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Thanks for your help.

  When downloding a new application, applet, or executable file or program msi, I always choose to SAVE them to the DESKTOP, then I make a folder and copy the downloaded file to the new folder when the program is fully downloaded, I then run my hand registered antivirus program to ensure that it is virus-free. (right click, then choose scan with "antivirus program").

  Once I know it's clean and stored safely, I disconnect from the internet, disable my antivirus program, & close all processes not essential in the Task Manager.

  Then go to the folder "New folder" and double-click the new application to install it without interference.

  Once it is installed, restart your computer to start your antivirus program and already completed process automatically and then if it needs to access the INet activation or registration, it can do so safely.

  It a new application and ask you if that's OK, you know is very well since you just installed it will say your firewall.

  I've never had a problem with failed facilities or other interference from program using this simple step-by-step process.

  Methods to download the latest service pack (VISTA SP2)

  Method 1: Turn on automatic updates (recommended for most users)

  Method 2: Check the updates on Windows Update (same method 1 but not automatic)

  Method 3: obtain the latest Windows Vista from Microsoft Download Center (full file) service pack http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/935791/#Method3 >

  (Good to use if the computer on which you want to install the service pack is not connected to the Internet)

  Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx> and look right.

  Things to know about SP2 and FAQs.

  Examine them carefully and see if it meets most or all of your questions.

  You will also notice the site available for full download download which can be used instead of the Windows Update. service

  As you can see Vista SP2 contains all updates released since SP1, download via AU (automatic updates) you get only what you need, by downloading the full file all you and you have it if you like for later if you need IT.

  For Service Packs, I prefer to download the entire file and then install offline after you have prepared the system first.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method

• French names for applications 'Windows Explorer' and 'File Explorer '?

  I'm updating documentation and noticed that "Windows Explorer" (win7) and 'File Explorer' (win8) are mentioned in the French translations.

  When you use the french language pack, these applications use the English names, or is there the French names for them?
  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  -Are what documents you referring? Personal work or associated Windows?

  -What version of Windows is installed on your computer? Is - this Windows 7 or Windows 8?

  If you have installed the French language pack, then some of the applications (Windows 8) will be displayed with the french names and rest will appear in English because the version of Windows installed on the computer will be in English. If you have installed the version French of Windows, then the interface of Windows will be in french, and if you add an English language pack, then some of the apps will appear in English.

  So, if you don't want the french names on applications, then please check the language packs installed (and the current language pack used) and change it to English.

• Problem with Windows Fax and Scan does not connect to the Internal Modem

  Just got a new Acer Aspire 5542-5416 computer laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, 4 GB of Ram and a 320 GB hard drive. It has a 56 k modem integrated fax of like the old days, but I can't make it work. The laptop did not come with the Windows CD.

  If I open the program Windows Fax and Scan, it is not able to connect to the modem. Basically, if I click on tools > fax accounts > Add..., I get a box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server. When I want to connect a fax modem I get a message that says: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator. It allows me to do this then just clock OK and them I'm right where I started.

  While in Windows Fax and Scan, if I click on tools > fax settings... nothing happens. No menu settings or anything ever appears. Quite simply, the program does nothing. If I try tools > Fax Status Monitor... I get a box that says entrance exam status, ready to receive a fax. It has a blue progress bar as something takes over, but it gets about 1/100 to and never goes further or ends. There is no box, but there are 3 buttons: view details, answer call or cancel. If I hit details, I get an empty list. If I click on answer call I get an error that says that the fax service is not available.

  If I try tools > Options, general tab has only a single option box is checked: play a sound when come it to new messages. If I try to print a Word or PDF file to a fax using Fax in the printer list, I get the same box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server, but I get the same error message: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator.

  I've searched the Internet high and low for a solution but no luck. There is a lot of discussion about this problem, but none of the solutions work for me. If I go to Device Manager, the modem is working properly and if I click on the Modem query on the Diagnostics tab, it seems to be able to communicate with the modem very well. I tried to roll back the driver and updated again and still no luck, same problem. If I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax\Accounts in the registry, there is no subkeys under the folder accounts I can delete.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there any solution for this? I did a Windows Update last night and has not yet solve it. Thank you.

  Sorry about that.
