  • How can I connect to the internet? Problems involving the network and sharing Center does not.

    Hello.
    I live in a House and bought a range extender so that I can get a connection in my basement as well.  I have installation range Extenders without problem.  When you install the range extender, I changed my name to my network router.  I changed the name of the network by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser.
    The MacBook connects without a problem.  In the basement, the connection of Windows 7 works very well.  I have just connected Vaio Windows 7 my mother to the network, but it prompted that I enter the user credentials.  I read a post above and got that problem solved by opening the network and sharing Center and adding a new connection.  Now that the connection is configured correctly.
    The problem is with the laptop HP Windows Vista family basis.  Since I install the range extender, I can't connect to the network.  He had no problems before you connect the router or other networks to visit other places.  The new network name appears, but when I click it, it says I have to enter the user credentials.  I tried to manually, but the name is taken so I can't make a new and invites me to connect to the network that is established or to connect to a different network.

  • Red Apple icon shown when loading the software containing the two Vista and Apple software - does not recognize Windows

    I recently bought 2 bits of software that contain the Apple and Microsoft (Vista) versions on one CD.  When I insert the CD into my Vista PC, it can not find or load the installation files.  Instead, if I look at what is on the drive, I see an icon of the Red Apple.  If I put the same CD on Vista PC to my wife, it loads correctly.  If I load the version of WIndows 7 software, it loads correctly and run the program until he acknowledges that the operating system is Vista not Windows 7.  Something triggered something on my Vista PC to do brand new loading on my CD player program needs to ignore files in vista and show files apple as if they were independent.  Is there a toggle for this problem?  If I run the software of Microsoft ' Fix It' - the solution that I see on most boards, it does not.  As far as I know, other Vista users are facing this problem without solution by MIcrosoft or any other tech tips.

    The problem is with a program from Mediafour.  It's called xplay 3.  If you uninstall this program, everything works fine.

  • Show hidden files and folders option does not

    I'm trying to access a hidden folder, C:\programdata\... I can't see it in Explorer. When I go into control panel > folder options > discovers... the option box to display hidden files and folders is already selected.

    I tried to change this option to not display hidden files and folders by selecting the radio button, and then clicking on apply. Then I exit the menu display. However, when I return to the menu display the radio button beside display hidden files. That is to say it is not "saved" change.

    I changed other elements in the advanced example view menu Hide extensions of known file types, and it works very well.

    I was not able to find this problem in the forum. Of course, I have restarted my pc. I don't know when this problem was that I don't often get this hidden folder.

    I am running vista home premium 32 bit

  • default font in Windows 8 is way too small. How can I change? Don't waste time telling the display and appearance. Does not help.

    in the directory, the file names are much too small.  You want to change font Times New Roman 12, for everything.  Expansion to 124% does not affect the file names.  Don't want to pay for the update driver software as it will not fix this.

    Hello

    I'm not on my machine to win 8 to check right now, but if you right click the desktop, then select the screen resolution, you should see 'Make text and other items larger or smaller'

    Click on it... and down the middle of the screen that opens, you should see a drop down for different types of text (icons and etc..). There is also a menu next to him where you can set the font size for the different types of windows, icons and etc...

    I don't think that there is an option to select the Types of fonts such as Times Roman, for example, but there could be...

    Hello

    To disable the reminders of Stand:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > activity - turn off reminders Stand.

  • Outlook shortcut icon does not open

    When I try to access outlook via a shortcut on my desktop, I get a message (this application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect).

    I can still access my e mail when I go to outlook directly.  I have another shortcut on my desktop, but get the same message and outlook with no open.  Any

    suggestions.

    Thank you

    Original title: Office Outlook shortcut

    You can get this message because you have 2 Outlook icons on the desktop.

    You can create a 'New' folder on the desktop. Just leave name in the new folder. Open the folder. If it opens full screen cursor movement on one side until it then turns to an arrow.  Left click and hold to drag this side where she is half screen. Then an icon 'Outlook' of the left click and hold. That drag to the folder. Close the folder and see if the remaining desktop icon opens Outlook.

    Come back.

  • My menu desktop and Startup icons do not work.

    original title: icons gone AWOL

    Background: I am a regular user account and the administrator is protected by. We run Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.

    Concern: Desktop icons and start menu do not work properly. They simply open the interface 'open with '. I can get SOME their right of first programs and selecting "Start", but it is a bit tedious. The admin and another user on this computer are not affected by this problem. We're all stumped here and when I tried to use the Microsoft support site, it took no identification number.

    Advice?

    Hello

    1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    Maybe the user account it is corrupt, we will try to create a new user account and control. You may need to use the administrator account to create a new user account.

  • activated via the desktop experience, Flash still does not, why?

    We have servers Windows Server R2 2012.

    I activated the office experience via PowerShell, I checked the addon Flash is on, I cleaned the cache files, I did everything that I could find...

    Flash still does not work!

    I even updated and rebooted the testing server - still no Flash when I visit the page using Adobe Flash.

    What should I do now?

    It's on a test server that never had Flash on it before installing the desktop experience to enable Flash.

    Other servers have had the IE plugin installed, and this plugin can be removed.

    I have run Windows Update to download Flash and IE up to date.

    Thank you, Tom

    Hello

    Have you tried to add the site to the list of "Trusted Sites"? I have enabled the desktop (via the Manager server and PowerShell) experience on a Windows Server 2012 and has been invited to add the site (helpx.adobe.com) to the list of Trusted Sites for the display of the page (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html) the flash content.  Windows servers have stricter security restrictions and I often find that I have to add sites to the trusted to have content Sites to display list.

  • In the window of writing V.31.3, there is no option "insert" on the toolbar and ctrl-l does not. I can't find any way to insert a link.

    14.04 Ubuntu

    According to me, he's working the composition in plain text. Hold the SHIFT key when you click Write, reply to or forward. Raw text does not support inserts so that they are not available in the toolbar or menu when the text is in use.

    It is supposed to open appropriate, responses and transfers in text mode compatible with the original message. The default for writing new messages is defined in the account settings. However, it is also possible to define default values of individual Contacts and also to specific areas, so in my humble OPINION, it's too easy for a contradiction or incompatibility to ask how the behavior can be unpredictable.

    And I think it's buggy. I sometimes write to a newsgroup where HTML is frowned upon, so TB is put in plain text but almost always chooses HTML. Go figure.

    You can simply paste the links in the text. There is no need of the Insert | Link antics.
