• To update blackBerry Smartphones or not up to date - that is the question...

  I'm really confused.  I just got a replacement Tour from Verizon.  On several occasions, when I am connected to Desktop Manager v5, a list of the updates appeared.  However, I didn't do the updates at this time. Now, when I log in, I get the message that I don't need updates.  The version on this phone is v4.7.1.40 (Platform 4.1.0.40).  Should I update?  If so, what is the best method to do so - since the Verizon site or the Blackberry site?  I'm a bit wary since the last time I did the update of the os, I almost lost everything on my phone.  So, I hope I have the last version/patch, etc...

  Also, I have internet download manager, which includes my downloads.  Is that going to be a problem - not updated must be done via the Desktop Manager software?

  Thank you.

  Bifocals,

  You have been very helpful once again.  I does not level up to what Verizon offers it or I'm having a problem making do if necessary.  Thanks for the useful JL-CMDR link - I'll upload that I do an upgrade my computer in the case.

  I am a mental health professional and that you accept that Hamlet would be much better with the Blackberry - it's better than antidepressants.

• Envy of HP dv7 - 7323CL: HP driver not available for my laptop after the WIN10, now said to use Windows updates

  I think I got this, just need confirmation, before I was going to HP.com to find udpated pilots, then site Web HP said if computers purchased after August 2013 have been tested, I think you could get the updates via the HP with WIN10 site.  My pc model was purchased in February 2013, it seems now that I have WIN10 there is no drivers for me page to go it says that I need to go to the updates of Windows.  Before I upgraded to 10, I was 8, and I had full access to the drivers download through HP.com page.  However, I think I understand now, I had a problem with the Norton Removal Tool, after using it, it makes my pilot biometric and disabled the Windows Hello to WIN10 - the reader of fingerprints for a connection.  The pilot appeared to be corrupted and I needed to just reinstall.  I finally found an old forum via HP where someone has had the same problem that I did and they are found to include a link for the driver, and it worked for my model of laptop and solved the problem.  After some tests, I uninstalled the driver and learned at that time, after the driver is uninstalled, I can go to Windows Update and it will search and find the driver that I uninstalled and offer me the download to reinstall.  That's cool.  So, I understand now that even now if the drivers are not available for my model via HP.com, I can now just do a search through Windows Update and it will fix the problem, only after that I uninstalled it through Control Panel, Device Manager, once I uninstalled, restarted the computer, then did the updates of Windows It downloaded the driver, like when I went to the Control Panel, Device Manager, I saw the biometric driver in good working condition.  This is the case now with who need driver updates / reinstall?  (Note: to update the drivers, I know too much, you can go to control panel, Manager of devices, and then click the driver and select Update driver software.)

• "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  missing volume control

  volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

  "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

  When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

  Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

  It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

  This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

  We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

  If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

  If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  Browsing from a level in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32

  Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

  Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

• When I use Windows Maovie Maker, the program keeps freezing upwards and says that it does not.

  When I use Windows Maovie Maker, the program keeps freezing upwards and says that it does not. I close and try again, but get the same question. in the past, I used this program very well without any problem. Now I do one or two things in the tyring program to create a video and it freezes. Any suggestions how I can fix this problem?

  The three main causes of problems of Movie Maker are:

  (1) incompatible or damaged source files.
  (Photos / videos / Audio clips)

  Several formats are apparently compatible with
  Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  (2) problems with video filters

  Open Movie Maker and go... Tools / Options /.
  Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

  If this does not help, try going back to the same
  location and on the left, click on the 'all the default settings.
  button. / OK.

  (3) too large or complex project

  Create small projects.
  Add less Transitions, effects, etc...

• I am YOA 70 and have used windows 2000 XP Prof. from the arch, too late to change. Not worried about support, this is the best OS ever. I have a copy of old 180-day evaluation. Can I use it or get another copy.

  What I can tell, the problem is simple... The solution cannot be more simple!

  "Can I use it or get another copy."

  After the expiry of 180 days would be illegal to continue using it without a valid license, even using worarounds or reinstalling the operating system.

  The windows 2000 and Windows XP are different products, but the answer is the same, they are abandoned products would be very difficult to buy a license. You can search the remaining stocks, would be not easy but possible to buy it.

  "best OS ever."

• Try to use Windows Update to install 2 updates, get "updates are not configured correctly. Restoration of the changes

• Hardware changes not detected using a flash drive, the missing, system restore points tried every fix that MS can offer in Windows 7

  All of a sudden, I have several problems with my computer.  I can't not computer to recognize a flash drive.  Printer works in the same usb port.  I used Device Manager, checked the drivers, made every difficulty that MS has to offer, each difficulty that Dell can offer, but the problem remains.  I don't feel uncomfortable so I don't have to play with the registry.  I uninstalled the drivers and rebooted.  The only changes that I did before this happened was to uninstall and reinstall I-tunes.  The flash drive, I use would be defective?  When I went to the system restore, my restore points have disappeared, that was the point where I uninstalled I-tunes.  I also noticed that when I tried to detect problems with the resolution of the problems of hardware and devices, it says "material changes may not have been detected.  In detail, it also shows "there is no configured windows in a way never install driver - edition".  WHAT?  I know that windows IS configured to automatically install.  (Deep breath)

  Very well.  So I am at a loss.  Any suggestions?  Thank you very much for your time and your attention...
