Hello

Do a system restore before it happened.

How to make a Vista system restore
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html
================================

If no joy please update your video/display driver using these methods.

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
pilot and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

To check system drivers manufacturer as replacements and camera manufacturer who are most
current. Control Panel - device - Display Adapter Manager - note the brand and
fill out the template tab of the driver for your card video - double-click - write down the
the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
certification of drivers) - then do a 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 the other main device drivers you
a.

Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), and then
Site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest
versions. (Search for updates to the BIOS, Chipset and software on the site of the manufacturer of the system while)
it.)

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 install
actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
(particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat BTW to the manufacturers - manufacturers of devices DO WORK DO NOT THEIR SCANNER-
manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

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

  • Color s black and white PDF conversion

    I bought a scanner at high speed and converted a ton of documents in PDF format, using the color as my default mode. I then learned that PDF in black and white have a much smaller size, so I want to convert the majority of my PDF that don't have no color in black and white images.

    I use Adobe XI and learned the following process:

    Tools > print > convert colors...


    Gray = Gramma 2.2 conversion profile

    Convert Options = Preserve black


    Who converted to grayscale. Then, I got another routine to convert it to black and white. The problem is the size of the file is larger than the original.


    I read something about a PDF Optimizer which can reduce the file size, but I can't find it; It may not be part of the XI Acrobat?


    In any case, can someone tell me the easiest way to convert a color PDF in black and white, with a reasonable file size?


    Thank you.

    You can check for a preflight check routine to perform the conversion. Are usually B & W not so good that you will want to probably, unless you have simple text. In fact, in this case you want to do an OCR recognition or text with editable text (not available).

    One of the key factors are to use Save under when you perform the process. Save does not remove old information.

  • my screen has shrunk from black on the edges

    Hello

    It is probably descended from your display settings.

    You can right click Desktop and select Personalize. Click settings to display at the bottom. Try a higher setting which corresponds to what you monitor can handle.

    If for some reason, this does not work, your graphics driver may need to update.

    Click on start and type > devmgmt.msc

    In graphics cards are you looking for the adapter name and manufacturer. Go to the website of the company to download the latest driver for the adapter.

    I hope this helps!

  • Photoshop CS5 print color in black and white graphics

    I have Photoshop CS5 12.1 x 64 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.10.5 with a Canon Pixma MP560 printer. Until a few minutes ago, has been printing very good Photoshop, but now it prints all graphics in black and white color. Before posting this request, I tried the printer on several other applications, including Word, Firefox and Adobe Acrobat, and all are printed correctly. Apparently, I clicked inadvertently something in Photoshop which has not extinguished color printing. I've attached a screenshot of a dialog box print in Photoshop with a simple image two-tone. I hope someone here can help you.

  • in windows photo gallery, print color in black and white photos

    Hello

    This happens usually if the print options or preferences are changed for your printer. To select print options, you must open the image you want to print. Most print options are located in the print dialog box, which you can access on the file menu in the program that you are using. The options that are available to you depend on the program and the printer you use.
     
    To access some options, you may need to click on the link 'Options' or 'Advanced Options' button or tab in the print dialog box. To learn more about the print options for a program, see the information for the program.
     
    Printing options are determined by your printer capabilities are called printing preferences and may include printing separation pages, color or image quality options and Staples. Like program options, printing preferences are displayed in the print dialog box. Look for the buttons labeled "Préférences" or "Properties". You can choose preferences each time you print a picture or preferences to default configuration to use for all the photos you send to a printer.
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Set the default printing preferences.
    1. Click here to open Printers.
    2 right-click the printer you want to use, and then click Printing Preferences.
    3. Select the preferences you want to use as the default the next time you print to the printer, and then click OK.
     
    Step 2: Use print preview:
    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the picture in Windows Photo Gallery that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is typically located on the file menu. You can choose the print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview.
     
    To solve printer problems, download and run the Microsoft fix it and check the result.

  • My OneDrive file, formerly SkyDrive, has gone from one day to the next, you're wondering what happened? Could this be a virus?

    Hello

    I left my computer on overnight and the next morning, I saw my Windows 8 Welcome screen, but when I tried to put my password to get to the computer screen went black. I then turned again the computer then next turn and logged on, but the home screen a message pops up in saying my Onedrive had disappeared, that he had been either deleted or damaged - at least I think that's what he said--and then he asked me to implement OneDrive once again, that I made, and it seems that everything is back to normal; However, I am now wondering why OneDrive disappeared, if it was caused by a virus, if someone has just managed to 'take it' and why only OneDrive and none of my other files or folders.

    In addition, I noticed two strange occurrences on my computer these past two days: when I have someone, send an email to AOL, another email seems to remain behind that I just sent. and it's been very difficult to make a right click on anything; I have to do it several times to make it work, that is to say, to copy, paste, etc..

    If anyone has any ideas on the subject, I would appreciate it.

    Thank you

    It could be possible that the OneDrive has been altered or any other third-party program on the computer conflict could damaged OneDrive program.

    What virus protection software is installed on the PC?

    I suggest you run your antivirus software with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx


    Note:
    the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    For problems with AOL emails, I suggest you get in touch with the support of AOL.
