When I try to open any video feature posted on my comcast home page all I get is a black screen. the same thing when I try to open
videos in my message. I can't even open a training video.
How can I solve this problem.
Thank you for your help.
Y_BrownThis does not happen on my computers. Try to download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and see if that makes a difference. I also recommend the safe boot and checking the virus. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

c. set the touchpad for right or left-handed use in this dialog box. You can adjust the speed of the double click of your computer as well. When you have finished making changes, click 'apply'.
d. choose the tab "device settings" dialog box now. You can see the touchpad for your Vista machine highlighted on the screen. Select "settings".
e. read the information provided in the following dialog box. It gives you options for your touchpad Cup, using the buttons, scrolling, pointer movement and sensitivity.
f. make any changes that you want from the various subjects. When you make a change, click 'apply'. When you have completed all your changes, click 'OK'.
g. don't some works on your computer for a while, if the touchpad is still too sensitive, return to the menu 'mouse' and continue to adjust the settings to what you get them just the way you want.
If you use the desktop computer with the external mouse, you can change the settings of the mouse and check if it works.

I can't find an answer to this question. I save pictures of sites .gov to accompany the latest news that I write. I work as a standard user and don't use the account administrator to computer problems. But when I save pictures and PDF files that they do not appear on my desk or in my photos, instead, they go to the administrative account. I end up having to go to the admin acct send to me, so I can access it on my standard user account. How can I fix?
Thank you, make it a great day!
When you save the photo, enter
C:
in the file name box, press ENTER to go. This will show the top part of your hard drive. Now, open the users folder and find the right place to save. This will save appropriately instead of the other account.

If the problem is related to a corrupted catalog, try to open the organizer with a new empty catalog.
Hold down the SHIFT key at the launch of the Organizer. You get a dialog box with the choice to start with a new catalog, or start with a different catalog and even to 'fix' the current catalog. If your organizer starts with an empty catalog, use the option 'fix' on your corrupt catalog.
