  • Need help with transplant / Clarification on "Word (XP version or leave) is not found.

    Regarding "Word (XP version or leave) is not found on this computer" and the registry hack I have a few questions.

    Current set up: Windows 7, 32-bit.
    LiveCycle ES2, all patches have been applied to LiveCycle ES2

    MS Word 2010, winword.exe in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\

    I read: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3983628

    And I get that the only way to solve this problem is thus:

    This is the registry. LiveCycle searches only the following folders.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\InstallRoot

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\InstallRoot

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot

    But word 2010 survey

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\InstallRoot

    So the solution is (for win x 32):

    Create following the path to the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot

    create new "string value" "Path" with the value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\".

    Quotes are not necessary.

    The question I have is all that must have the path added sections in the registry.

    What:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot

    Or do I have these areas it so?

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word

    And last:

    The addition of the way apply to only the 12.0 or should it be added to 14.0 records also?

    I've never played with the registry and after applying her hack for the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot folder, I still can't import Word files.

    So I think it's just my ignorance on the work of the registry, or I misunderstood something in the instructions.

    Thanks for the help!

  • WRT54GS2 v1 connection expired and server not found

    OK I got the connection expired issues and server not found on both my PC and my Laptop.I I use Zoom ADSL ISP x 5 provided. series 1605. I have a router Linksys WRT54GS2. I followed the installation program in full and was surfing without delay. The problem started there when I bought the router and plugged in about 5 months. I already spoke with technology specialists to my ISP and they said that I have an excellent DSL connection and they have not seen any problems at their end. I had disconnected the router completely my network and removed the Ethernet cable and hooked the cable directly to a DSL modem and had no problems until I plugged the router in the modem. I factory reset the router a few times and implemented accordingly to make sure everything was good. Well, I still have errors in time-out for laptops and PCs. I have tried almost everything in the book and I'm out of ideas. Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried changing the settings through the router and nothing seems to work. I checked both PC and laptop computer for viruses and nothing. I talked to my ISP and they tell me that my DSL connection is excellent and which was not disconnects or connection has expired at their end. It is located between my router and two computers. An Ethernet cable is plugged directly from the computer to a DSL modem. And an Ethernet cable is connected directly to the rear of the router. I am just totally stumped. The internet is totally fine when I cut out the router completely. I have no disconnects when the main PC is connected to the DSL modem with router disconnected completely. I have reset the router completely and followed Linksys technical support online for the T and I still get the connection has expired. Initially, I got a Belkin wireless router and thus became the message timeout through it. I thought something was wrong with this one so I went out and bought a Linksys WRT54GS2 router Linksys Wireless G. can someone offer some advice or ideas that I have not already tried? Please? The wife and I are really frustrated.

  • All the sounds that are specifically related to the Microsoft system works not-missing the system tray volume control and Accessories Entertainment empty folder.

    I have no volume control icon in the system tray and my Accessories Entertainment folder is empty.  I can play the sound through iTunes and VLC media player but is no longer the Player Windows Media can play CDs or mp3 files.  I have more Microsoft system sounds and the sounds of a large number of online streaming sites no longer play unless I can their route via iTunes or VLC media player.  Windows Media Player says missing codecs if I try to play mp3 files.  I have upgraded to Windows Media Player 11 to see if that would bring codecs, but without any result.

    My problems were not related to the missing CODECS.

    I knew the sound on my system was basically correct, given that I was able to listen to free VLC Player I downloaded to replace the Windows Media Player while he was not working.

    However, the solution to my problem of noise was really simple, but the answer was just very complicated track.

    I noticed that a lot of the chatter about similar problems on other forums was related to Adobe Flash Player.

    I had recently upgraded to the latest versions all Adobe products on my system.  I didn't make the connection that Adobe software could affect all the sounds of Microsoft.

    Finally, after doing a Google search on Adobe Flash Player issues, I found a partial solution:

    Here's an exact quote:

    Very well, the problem is really the wavemapper mapping in the registry of Windows such as reported by a member of the forum.

    All you have to do is to open the registry editor by going to start menu, run, type regedit, then Enter.
    After that, in Registry Editor, navigate yourself in the left pane until you reach

    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

    And then in the pane, right-click and click New, select string value, enter "wavemapper" (without the quotes, of course), ENTER, enter "msacm32.drv".
    Come in.

    Well, of course, it didn't work the first time. I received this message:

    the Registry Editor cannot rename the new value #1. The specified value name already exists. Type another name and try again

    I was puzzled for a while, until I saw someone in the forum with a similar problem mentioned that they had found a fix for this problem by granting permissions subkey. This led me to Google search for registry permissions.

    After that here, that's what I had to do, and although it seems that a lot of steps, it's really very simple:

    Once I had reached the drivers32 registry entry I pointed out the entry in the right pane. Mine said (default) REG_SZ (value not set). I then clicked on change on the Bar Menu and clicked on permissions on the menu drop down.

    This opens the permissions for Drivers32. I highlighted at the entrance of the Administration and click the Advanced button.

    This opens the "Advanced Drivers32 security settings. I made sure that I was under the permissions tab in this window. I noticed that the box called "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here"was checked. Yet once, I did ensure that the entrance of the Administration has been highlighted and then I clicked on the button change.

    This opens the "permission for Drivers32 entry. I chose "this key and subkeys" apply to: falling to the bottom of this window. Then, I checked the full control checkbox. I clicked on OK.

    I clicked on apply advanced Drivers32 window security settings.

    I clicked on apply permissions for Drivers32 window.

    Once that I had done it all a lot more entries appeared in the right pane for Drivers32 including my wavemapper entry. This is where all along; Quite simply, there is not all the permissions to do anything, including being in the registry pane.

    I left the registry and now all my sounds are back and the volume icon is once again in my system tray. Who would have thought?

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Sound recording play hum and then no audio

    Recently, my computer had a problem where it sometimes, for no reason that I can understand, will emit a noise for a second or two and then all the sound elements will be gone. In Device Manager, it will say that the sound card works fine. It is not a question of volume: if I turn up to 100 in the mixer, there's still nothing. If I run the troubleshooter, it will say that there is no problem. If I try if the sound recorder, it is said that a device is not found. Also, if I try to play music in Foobar, he responds with "error unrecoverable read: unknown error code (0 x 88890010). I can restart the computer and everything will be fine, but it happened with a frequency of more recent times. It is very annoying because it is quite unpredictable when it will happen.

  • Lack of volume control and Greyed out in the taskbar properties

    Until recently (past two months) it was never a problem.  When I bought this computer there nearly two years, I created my taskbar which included my volume control.  He has been there since then.  I have Vista, Service Pack 2.

    I have not changed hardware.  But in the last two months my volume control dissappers of the taskbar every once in a while and when I go into the taskbar properties, the control volume is grayed.  It's VERY frustrating because I can't find another way to implement volume control.  Fortunately I have a volume control key on my keyboard and use it when necessary.

    I did a search about this problem and see that a lot of people have the same problem.  WHY?  If this happens due to Windows updates, why didn't this problem been taken care of.  Some of the complaints I've seen in my research were two years old.

    Frustrated.  Please do stop.

  • Performance of Time Capsule and "device not found".

    I am now on my 2nd TC average weeks because I thought the first was broken-, but I get the same questions on the second >

    1. A Wi - fi connection is very intermittent.  Seat 3 feet of the TC, I can get 450Mbps on my iPhone 6 and 5 minutes later her stockings to 2Mbps or less (measured on the Wi - Fi Sweetspot app).  Similarly, the speed of connection internet test ranging from 20-30Mbps until 0.3Mbps not it depending on the strength of the wifi.
    2. Air utility sometimes connection works and see the TC.  But often it is not.  First he asks the password, maybe 2 or 3 times.  Can I get a yellow triangle showing on utility AP with "Device not found" and the only option is to Forget.  The TC IS still there, but since I use it for ethernet and wifi internet access still works because I am always online.

    So, what speeds SHOULD I get the Wi - Fi, 3 feet of the TC - I would have thought higher?

    Why WiFi speed decreases considerably, sometimes in the same place?

    Why the Airport utility is not the device, when it is still there?

    Is this a general problem with TCs?  Is this another duff, one back?

    Thank you

    Update you the firmware to 7.7.7 in the TC?

    If all tests performed 7.7.7 then downgrade the firmware to 7.7.3 as he could work much better.

    If it still fails I just return it.

    You should check how wireless is around you and the intensity of the signal of all devices.

    I also need to know the exact of the TC configuration and your network if you want to find the problem. Although problems with the Wi - Fi in the TC would be not at all unusual.
