The Volume control icon is not displayed in the Notification area of the taskbar. The settings in the property window button has grayed out Volume option.

This has happened several times randomly.  Also, it is the case for setting power and network options. Several times the parameters
become operational, to restart windows.  But this time the Volume adjustment control screen remains dimmed out and correlatively
the icon is not, either.
Mine is windows Vista Home Premium edition.
Would be very grateful if anyone help out me.

  • In the dialog "Manage the list of search engine", the "Restore Defautls" button is grayed out!

    Hello

    I use Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows 7.

    I installed software player Free Desktop Clock 2.37 and then Firefox was hi-jacked, so I chose carefully the custom displays.

    Edit: Free Desktop Clock itself does not hi-jack Firefox. This is another program (forget the name) comes with Free Desktop Clock that made him, adding a toolbar, change the home page, change the default search engine, etc. In fact, these forced alterations can be changed easily, return as a reset of the "keyword.url" pref For example, "hi-jack" can be a description which is too strong.

    In any case, I managed to clean - toolbar requested, forced homepage, forced the default search engine, etc.

    But there is still a problem.

    In the dialog, to manage the search engine, listthat appears when you click the arrow to the left of the search bar and then click on manage search engines, the default button is disabled (grayed out).

    How can we reactivated this button?

    Thank you.

    Finally, I realize that the 'Restore Defaults' button is enabled only when the default search engine is removed. The purpose of this button is to add all the missing default search providers. She, as I misunderstood, does not serve to remove search providers added by the user.

    So, I was wrong to blame Free Desktop Clock, no matter how bad it is.

  • How can I make sure my internet cable works even if the icon is not displayed by the clock

    I see the wireless connection icon, but I used to see one for the wired connection also. So where is it?

    How can I make sure my internet cable works even if the icon is not displayed by the clock?

    Click Start > Control Panel > network and Internet > network connections.

    Click with the right button on your Local network, and select Properties. In the window properties of LAN make you that these boxes are checked.

    [] Display the icon in the Notification area when connected

    [] Notify me when this connection is limited or no connectivity.

    Click [OK] and get out of here!

    Right-click on start and select Properties. On the taskbar and Start Menu click the taskbar tab, and then click the Customize in front of the Hide icon button inactive and it make sure that the option 'always show' for the local network is selected.

  • Most of the property windows and workspaces do not appear

    Just installed Captivate 5 on Mac 10.6.4, but most of the property windows and workspaces do not appear.

    With only the skin editor and view of connection, I was able to properly record a demo of very simple software. After watching a few tutorials, I realized that there is more to this product that I see. Nothing appears when I try to choose a workspace, display the Filmstrip window, etc. Help?

    Hi Katherine,

    It seems that the preferences of the Captivate has been corrupted. Can you try to delete the preferences for the following location?

    Location of preferences: /Users/ [username] / Library/Preferences

    In this folder, a folder named Adobe Captivate 5 must be present. You can go ahead and delete it.

    Try launching Captivate after deleting this file. Hope it works!

  • Icon "Are the selected markers to separate the export audio files" is grayed out outside in the markers window. The titles show starts but no end of times, and yet time is calculated.

    I have a large wav file to finish securities as a mixer and inserted the CD markers where I want the marked pistes. Icon "Are the selected markers to separate the export audio files" is grayed out outside in the markers window. The titles show starts but no end of times, and yet time is calculated. Why can't I export those items marked as separate files?

    You must make the markers of track in regions for the Export of work function. Make sure that you have placed a marker at the end of the file, as well as at the beginning of each track. Then select all the markers in the marker list by left clicking the first then shift left click on the last. You can then merge markers in the channels using the comb as icon (3rd from left) at the top of the list of markers. You will then be able to export the lines marked as separate files.

  • Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

    Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

    IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

    4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  • Why the Build button is grayed out?

    CS 5.5 MC, S & T ed. Yet 5.1. Win7Pro64.

    My first attempt using again. Try to burn a project Premiere Pro 30 minutes of a / v clips and photos on a DVD SD without creating a directory. Want just the movie DVD + RW burned to play instantly.
    Follow the instructions in step 6 that is to click Build, but it is grayed out. I registered this sequel in 2012. What I don't understand?
    It might have something to do with settings in the properties panel? I'm not sure they should be, because they are not addressed in 5 steps. In any case, I clicked project check and got 2 errors, so I put the first Stop, play the same as the title button. Chronology of the hand is not defined. Operations: No permit. Had no error when I clicked on project to check again.
    Also, as suggested in another post, I tried to change out of build Panel to record DVD and Image, but generate button is still gray.
    I accepted all settings by default when the release was made on a DVD disc.

    The panels menus and timelines are empty. Not transcoded first Pro Sequence.prproj 1920 x 1080, 59,94 frames per second is on the project Panel. The miniature film plays normally on the project Panel. Flowchart panel shows a DVD icon.

    In addition, in the project settings dialog box, the name: Unitilted.ncor is grayed out. I don't know how to change this name.

    Thank you

    What are the instructions you follow?

    If your editing panel is empty, you have no chronology of l. And some of what you set (for example 'first reading' 'Stop') is incorrect. When you want a DVD with no menu and play the video at the start, you set the first play on your Timeline.

    Once you create the project again, you can no longer change its name. You can do a save as and change it.

    In the project Panel, select the order of Professor go in the menu timeline, and then create the timeline. Set the action to the end of the new timeline 'Stop' if that's what you want, or to himself if you want to keep repeating.

    Hello Terry,

    I would recommend from your computer in safe mode to see if the problem persists. If you do not experience the problem in safe mode, it's probably caused by a startup item. To isolate the problem, please perform a clean boot. I also recommend scanning for infections and update your drivers.
