  • Windows Vista x 86, and Windows 7, losing by default settings of the printer after install updates day or end of remote session.

    We have been troubleshooting this issue for a while and we didn't have a patch even if it's a known issue.  When a workstation is set up as a network printer, even if the default settings of Windows (xps document writer) has been removed, the workstation will lose the default settings of the printer after that remote desktop sessions or windows updates have been installed.

    We tried MS FixIT and a registry mod that changes the order of the printers without success.

    We are hoping that there is a fix available before finalize us our Windows 7 image for deployment.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
    "DebugOptions" = "2048".
    'The documents '=' '
    "DosPrint' = 'no '.
    "Load"=""
    "NetMessage' = 'no '.
    'NullPort' = 'None '.
    "Programs"="com exe pif bat cmd.
    "device"="no printer name1, winspool, Ne01:

    In our reg mod, we have changed the position of the device at the same time Ne00 and Ne01 without having an effect on the loss of the default printer.  The mod set the default printer, but the settings do not stick.

    I hope there is a fix for this, in addition to a logon script, because our users are on several remote sites.

    Hello Sexystephm,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

    It should probably be shortened on your laptop keyboard to disable the touchpad (FN + F9). Also check in Control Panel, you should have an option to disable the touchpad of your laptop.

    However, if this has happened after I installed updates on your computer, you can try to restore the computer to an earlier date when you have been disable the touchpad.

    To perform a system restore, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. click on finish.
     
    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Also, you can check with the computer manufacturer if they have additional settings to change or updated drivers to install.

  • Problems with colors on the screen after installing the new motherboard Vista

    Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit wrong colors.  Monitor works fine.  If a monitor has checked and all colors were there.  Had installed a new motherboard.  Worked well for fivedays then the colors red and green disappeared again.

    * original title - want to get the correct colors on my display/ecran.*

    You don't say where the motherboard has come: the Mamufacturer of the computer, or that you buy yourself.

    Take the correct option:

  • How to move text on the screen?

    I can type the text in the little boxes when place the text on the screen (not the titles developed - just place the text on the screen after hitting the "T" key).  The box is difficult to work, and I did not understand how simply MOVE it to a different area of the screen.  Is this possible?  I can't just click and drag it.  And why the cursor looks like this little arrow pointing to?  And why the box to keep changing shape on me, etc.. ?  Someone else has a lot of trouble with this?

    Here is a glance at the Titler Panel, with one selected area of text (visible Bounding Box) and ready to be moved. Pre 4.0 it's with but a few exceptions, will look the same.

    Hope that helps and good luck,

    Choose one of these settings:

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  • I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen on Windows 7

    I just installed a new Windows 7 but I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen.  I tried all the things normal, resolution, size of icons, dpi etc but nothing gives me what I want.  The text in clear 'wonderful' thing is just terrible.  When I go through the 4 steps I see no text boxes which make the text nothing better.  All options are terrible, so the result on screen is too terrible.  When I do any huge I do not get a full screen of things - view the Start button disappears or I did not closing small cross at the top - of the suggestions to inprove the situation?  I must mention that my screen/monitor is 2006 - I need to buy a new one?  How much is this Windows 7 is going to cost me, or maybe I should go back to XP!

    I sincerely thank all you smart "technicians" for all the answers you always gave myself and all others who ask questions.  I'm not too smart with all this new technology as I fell into it very late.  I am now in my 60s and only started using a pc when I was over 50 years so...  In any case, I asked a question about the size of screen resolution and text and received much good advice from all that you guys.  I had recently changed in XP to Windows 7.  However, the bit of advice that I was given in 'Cyberking' here at the Portugal had set the resolution of the screen, the advanced settings, 75 to 60 Hertz Monitor tab.  Very basic, and the first question asked the technician (Lady) was "what size is your screen?  Naturally as a smaller screen that any 'techno' would be considered dead aid, solving the problem was simple and straightforward without me having to stretch my knowledge and my skills by downloading all programes weird (to me) or do the funny stuff in the bios or something else.  I send this comment to you for you to realize that the simple solution is not always bad and maybe we should go for the easiest first and then work up to the more difficult ones.

    Just for you all to see - now my screen resolution is perfect, the text on the screen is clear and legible without difficulty, even though the size of text and icon is small.  Clarity is all!

    Thank you all once again!   Best regards, Blondie blue.
