Suddenly can't erase CD - RW in Windows XP
I used CD - RW to back up my files for years. All of a sudden, I can't delete one of my CD - RW on my Windows XP machine. In My Documents, the 'Clear this CD' command no longer appears when using my various CD - RW. That's happened? How can I continue to erase the CD - RW so I can re - write them? Thank you!!
PS _ I see similar topics in this forum, but none of them were actually resolved.
My Documents do not write or erase the disk. WMP, Roxio, etc... the application would play these exploits. WMP requires content intended to be written to disk first stored on the hard drive of the computer. (Location of the My Documents folder)

Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.
These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

I a D1320 printer and I have a job in Quebec but it will not print even if it is said printing in QC I tried to remove from Quebec when he did not print and it says delete but does not remove it.
Any suggestions?
Hello
From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R. In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter. Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button. Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.
Kind regards

- Question
When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?
Hello.
I think this is a related issue of Windows, because it is the Manager to save the windows file that we are talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help with this one, I think. You expect to be able to delete entries simply by touching delete on your keyboard when they are concentrated (that is how it goes for the removal of the form entries specific autocomplete in Firefox), but I have not tried.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Windows Live Error 0x800CCC0E, socket 10013 error
I use Windows Live mail for months and suddenly can not receive or by e-mail. I'm getting Error 0x800CCC0E, socket 10013 error ID. I don't think that all the parameters have been changed recently. What motivates this error?This computer is home and cable? If so, this is the e-mail scan probably the cause. According to your AV program, you may need to reinstall.
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htmNote that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.
Also note that WLMail has its own forum.

How can I erase hard disk dive
How can I erase diving hard drive that windows will not open on
"Wiping" a hard drive can not be done from Windows, if you are referring to the drive on which Windows is installed, so that Windows will not open is not a problem.
You must use a utility that sits on its own bootable media. Two of the most popular free tools are
DBAN--> http://dban.org/download
Active KillDisk--> http://www.killdisk.com/features.htm
Although the two products have free or commercial versions, the free version of KillDisk has a few more features (for example, works on the SSD, it's not the DBAN).

Can't erase memory, office pro 8100 jet network info
I have an Officejet Pro 8100 using windows 7 and have used the printer sucessfully for months. Connected to a Netgear router. I changed my router ID and password to make them safer. Now, the printer does not recover. I used the installation software to connect again the SSID and pass phrase, but it will not accept them. If I turn on the broadcast SSID the new name will apear, but after I send the new password I get the answer that the SSID is not found, even when I picked it up in a list. I run the wireless test and it shows the old SSID and FAIL status. I put the SSID and expression of past to old values, but to get the message that the passphrase is incorrect.
How can I erase the old news of memory in the printer? Running the installation software does not change the old values.
Which can occur because of a defective cable. port or damaged software.
If it works via Ethernet, but is unable to configure the connectrion wireless to the printer, you can work around that by setting the connetion wireless through the homepage of the printer.
Once the ethernet cable is connected and configured, the HP software click on the printer (EWS) homepage and open the network tab.
From there, click Wireless Setup Wizard and reconfigure the wireless connection.
Once you are finished, unplug the ethernet cable and ensure wireless light stays on blue, this means that the wireless connection was launched... ther remove the curretn device and reconfigure the printer via the wireless network.
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

I can't burn a CD with Windows Media Player.
I can't burn a CD using Windows Media Player. I use a Sony CD - RW 700 MB and the latest version of Windows Media Player. My computer recognizes it as a blank CD, I can create the playlist to burn and when I hit the button to burn, Windows goes through the motions of burn the disc, but when I re-read the disc, there's nothing there, it's always a blank disc. The same thing happens with itunes. I tried to use a blank Memorex CD - R disc, but my computer will not even recognize it. I burned the disks before using Windows Media Player. Help?
Hello
Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

Recently, I downloaded a zip file and when I right click on it I don't have an option to extract everything. Instead, I got an option 'open with '. It was the "Windows cannot open this file:I used the utility zip several times. All of a sudden it will not work.
I went to default programs to try to re - associate the zip with the files. At the location of zip into the folder, the associated program was unknown.
