Search help Vista and Windows 7

Why the help search is virtually unusable for anyone with knowledge of basic Windows? Help the foundation same information about ipconfig is not in Windows 7.

Hi Neverest,

Help and Support in Windows Vista is designed to help with common questions of interest for the new user.  Command line features are generally not used at this level and not included in every detail.

Most of the people who are familiar with using the command line will appeal to help from there.  It will give more detailed instructions and help the syntax for various orders.  Example from the command prompt:

>ipconfig /?

Returns the following:

USE:
[/allcompartments] ipconfig [/? | / all |]
/ renew [map] | Enough [map] |
/renew6 [map] | /Release6 [map] |
/flushdns | / displaydns | /registerdns |
/showclassid card |
[/ information adapter [classid]]

where
login name of the map
(wildcard characters * and? allowed, see examples)

Options:
/? Display this help message
/ all display full configuration information.
/allcompartments display information for all compartments.
Enough free IPv4 address for the Spucifiue card.
/Release6 release the IPv6 address for the Spucifiue card.
/ renew renew the IPv4 address for the Spucifiue card.
/renew6 renew the IPv6 address for the Spucifiue card.
/flushdns empty the cache of DNS resolution.
/registerdns refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names
/displaydns Displays the contents of the Cache of DNS resolution.
/showclassid displays all the dhcp ID class allowed for the adapter.
/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.

The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.

For release and renew, if no name card is specified, then the IP address
leases for the cards related to TCP/IP is released or renewed.

For information, if no ClassId is specified, the ClassId is removed.

Examples:
> ipconfig... Display information
> ipconfig/all... Display detailed information
> ipconfig / renew... renew all cards
> ipconfig/renew EL *... renew any connection that has its
name starts with EL
> ipconfig enough * Con *... release all matching connections,.
for example. "Connecting to the LAN 1" or
"Connecting to the local network 2.
> ipconfig /allcompartments... Display information on all the
compartments
> /allcompartments ipconfig/all... Display detailed information about all the
compartments

You can do it with any command at the command prompt.  You can also just type help and it will display a list of commands.

Hope that answers your question.  Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  • Help me to solve the problem with modem hspa usb on Windows Vista and Windows 7

    Hi, I have a problem with my USB HSPA modem when I tried to install in my Windows Vista 64 - bit PC. Sometimes it's OK, but sometimes it has encountered an error trying to install it. After the installation of the almost complete progress, reports of windows as "Unknown material" or "driver is not found. Maybe after a few tries, I was able to install the modem. But later, its happened again. I take the modem at the other PC with XP, it is still OK, but it happened again with Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit home version. so could you help me to fix it? is it a bug of Windows Vista and windows 7? Thank you very much

    Hello

    go to the website of modem manufacturers and look for the last vista and/or firmware for windows 7

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    Mick4 wrote: the problem is that I only could unzip the 3 dll files but don't know how to replace the bad dll files. Mick 4

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

  • Quality of its poor window media player with vista and windows 7

    Since I bought my first Vista PC three years ago I never liked playing my music with Windows media player. This is because the sound quality is irritating. For some reason, the volume of any song keeps rising and falling when he plays with the media player but the same player sound perfectly with any other player. Note, in this case with windows Vista and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I have always noticed the same problem. Many of my friends who use Windows vista or windows 7 also complained about this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Because I can't play my songs with windows media player on my pc windows 7 and I had to keep my old windows xp just to play my songs.

    Hello

    It could be mainly mediocre speakers. Check you drivers.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS Manager - look for HD Audio Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
    (This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.

    NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
    installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
    the fact.

    Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.

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

  • Comparison between Windows Vista and Windows 7

    Hi, can you help me please make a better decision?

    I am faced with a decision to make between windows Vista and the new Windows 7. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Basic (32 bit) that currently gives me a lot of problems. Now I think investing in a newer version of windows.

    Can you please recommend me in terms of:
    1 price
    2. Security
    3. ease of use
    4 reliability
    5. fitness for purpose domestic to small business (Home Office)
    6 connection to a network environment that has other versions of Windows, for example XP
    7. the ability to manage multiple processes simultaneously
    8. the programs that run on windows vista will run on windows 7? I have an accounting program I use so I would like to know if I will not have a problem if I choose windows 7

    I have an offer to buy Windows Vista Ultimate and I want to compare it to Windows 7 Home Premium

    1. Windows 7 is less expensive than Vista, version for version
    2. Windows relies on Vista security
    3. Subjective - if you've never customized XP somehow, you should get good enough with Vista or Win 7
    4. Windows 7 has proved to be reliable in the tests.
    5. Since the release of XP, all Microsoft operating systems are good for the environment
    6. Windows 7 and Vista will be connect to XP
    7. Windows 7 and Vista is better than XP
    8. Generally Yes, but there may be drivers that have been coded to search for a specific operating system. It is a business decision made by the suppliers of hardware and software that allows them to continue to support product as he approaches the end of its product lifecycle, or push the consumer to buy a newly released product

    If you do not require Bitlocker encryption or the ability to connect to a corporate domain, Windows 7 Home Premium is fine to do the job. You must keep in mind that are supported for Vista "home" versions, and that includes 'Ultimate', will end in 2012, where the support of Windows 7 will be ongoing.

    In my opinion, you would be better advised to go to Windows 7 now and miss out on the stage of Vista...

  • NB100 and graphics issues in Vista and Windows 7

    Hi all.

    I have two NB100s and I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. Everything went well until what the graphics driver has been loaded. Responses of the screen were as refresh once per second 5, then also the system froze for a few seconds - impossible to work on it. The case even on the two NB100s and even with the new drivers from Windows update. I'm curious to know what is the problem, because a lot of guys have written that they are running windows 7 and everyting is ok right after installation. I tried Windows Vista and the same situation has occurred. The only way I can use it with Windows 7 is to use the XP drivers. But then the aero glass does not. I just got idea if there is no problem with the new bios 1.6. It seems that other older guys NB100 and use Windows 7. Could someone help me? Has anyone tried Windows 7 with bios 1.6? THX.

    Hello!

    I think the problem is that you are using a beta version of the operating system and not a final version and these errors are normal because nobody can say that Windows 7 beta runs perfectly and without problems on all laptops or computers.

    However, see the Intel Web site for the latest drivers. Perhaps there is a newer version than on the Windows Update Web site.

    Good bye
