• Lonely Spider Windows 8 won't let me change to multiple combinations

  I have Windows Live 8 and am familiar with the charms, but I don't have an option under settings to increase the amount of combinations into a spider. My options are sound effects - music - tips - Alerts - view tutorial and that's it.

  Any ideas?

  I had the same problem, finally understood to be in the game of Spider and then go into the settings for the specific parameters of the game such as the choice of the number of combinations.

• Windows 8 won't let me change the settings of Windows updates

  Hi, I'm changing my Windows Update settings from Automatic to Manual, but the option is not available in the Windows Update screen. I use my Live admin account not to claim, I also have a local administrator account and the same thing is happening: Windows Update settings cannot be changed. Attached photo...

  Intended to clarify, I'm not in any network, it is an Stand-alone Windows 8 processor ASUS TX300CA laptop and basically, I try to avoid the nagging Windows 8.1 update pop-up. There are programs that I use and which do not work well, or simply do not work on Windows 8.1 if I ever go back to Windows 8.

  Thanks in advance for your support

  

  First of all, you need to remove all that you have done to try to block the 8.1 update.  That is why it is said that your settings are "managed by an administrator", because the administrator (probably you) put in changes in your registry or policy settings to cause this.

  Or if you don't, then a virus did.  Because someone, or something, went in and changed your policy and registry settings.

  So if you don't, I recommend that you run system restore to undo the change unintentional, then run a full scan.

• Windows 7 won't let me change the settings to import images

  Hello
  I hope someone can help with this one!

  When I try to import images using Auto play "Import pictures and videos using windows" dialogue opens that gives me the choice of 'Mark' photos. The import settings"(in blue) shows also available to change the import settings but when I click it nothing happens? Out of curiosity I went to profiles, my partner profile has attempted to do the same thing and when I clicked on the "import setting" a new dialog box open for inviting me to make changes, I tried. So my question is:

  Why does Windows 7 let me not change my own profile import settings, and how do I reset the import settings?
  I have searched questions and knowledge base but cannot find an answer to my specific problem.
  Any help is appreciated!

  Create a user profile.

• Windows 7 won't let me access the files (my documents, my downloads), but the programs work very well!

  Currently, I am running windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop I built. My computer starts up fine, no problem when I connect and I can run all my programs like itunes, security suite norton, chrome, Picasa and Microsoft word work completely fine. There is no problem to save things on Word view my photos on Picasa (which is on the C drive) or by playing songs on itunes (which means that I can access my hard drive through programs), but when I try to open the downloads folder, it shows a popup that says: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "and does not open the file. The problem is that I AM the administrator account on the computer! However, when I open things in my libraries such as My Documents or my music, there just a blank page, saying that I have no files in this folder, but I have files in all of these files: photos, all my music itunes and documents.

  The interesting thing is that I can save documents to the word to My Documents and it will be displayed at the beginning, but when I close the My Documents window and reopen it, the file disappeared and the folder is 'empty' again.

  Currently. I have 2 hard drives connected, a seagate 1 TB and a supplement of 250 GB. Both of these drives appear in disk management, so that the computer knows and is able to see are how many gb on them. Apart from this recognition, when I open the start menu and press computer, it only shows my USB and my CD player, nor of my hard drives. I know that computers are connected correctly as they hum and dry as usual. I am very worried about what is, be it a virus, bad connection, settings that have been changed for any reason any.

  Please help me understand why Windows 7 won't let me access my files through programs, but not in Finder Windows, I have very important files on this computer that I can't lose!

  Windows 7 has a feature of self defense which is a pain.

  He doesn't like files from other computers,

  Right-click on the folder and select properties and see if there is a release button.

  Repeat for external drives.

She was not able to buy since she lives outside the United States, but it won't let me change the recipient. Is it possible that I can change the recipient or even recover my $1.29? Thank you.

How will I know about the activation key if I don't have the CD? and he really gets on my nerves because very 15 minutes it would display the message that I need to activate the key making delays in my work.

  Hi Kia,
