• MSN displays two icons in the taskbar

  Hello and sorry if my English is not so good. Upgrading to windows 7 yesterday and had just this one problem for now. When I connect to my msn he opens two windows in the taskbar. We have the msn as before and the other just my msn pic. As a result, I can't minimize it by clicking on the task bar, when I click on the window already open. And of course I constantly get confused which icon to click to view my msn. How can I make the second window disappear?

• Two of the application window are enabled at the same time when I click on an icon in the taskbar of an application.

  When I open a window of the application in Windows 7, and then press the keyboard windows, if I click on an icon in the taskbar to another window, I find that each of the two windows is activated. I use Spy ++ to monitor both windows messages in this scenario and esteem that both windows obtained the WM_ACTIVATE message. If I right click on an icon in the task bar of the window of the second just after press the windows key, I find that the first window will activate everything first and soon to be switched off.  What is a feature of the taskbar of Windows 7 or a bug in Windows 7?

• Use two assistants for the acquisition of data at the same time

  Hello

  I want to read multiple data channels of analog inputs on my DAQ hardware. However, when I try to create two separate data acquisition assistants for each entry, it gives an error saying "is reserved for the specified resource. The operation could not be performed as indicated "." Can't use two assistants for the acquisition of data at the same time?

  I have to add different channels in the same assistant DAQ? I tried, but I couldn't separate the data in different graphs.

  How does this work?

  Kind regards

  Allard

  You can't have multiple tasks of the same type (in this case inputs analog) on the same device.  Just so having 1 DAQ Assistant read all your channels and separate your channels for individual transformation.

• Firefox creates the new icon from the taskbar when already pins. How to return to activate the pinned icon?

  After the 4.0.1 update, Windows now creates a new icon in the taskbar instead of activate one who is already pinned there. This does not happen on other computers I've used.

  Hi, a bit of googling solved the problem, this article eplains,
  http://www.gHacks.NET/2010/10/12/fix-pinned-items-opening-as-new-icons-in-Windows-7-taskbar/
  It worked for me, so I hope it'll work for you too.

• Unity Mode - icons in the taskbar on the host do not work as expected for some applications

  In Unity mode, the icons in the taskbar on the host computer do not work as expected for some applications. The following problems may occur:

  1. several icons for a single application.

  2 aero Peek does not work if the application is reduced.

  3 icon moves to the end of the task bar after restoration of the collapsed state.

  These problems make it difficult to work in Unity mode. Here are some details about my setup:

  VMware Workstations Version: 7.0.1 build 227600

  Host: Windows 7 64-bit (all updates applied)

  Client: Windows XP (all updates applied)

  Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 1:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3. minimize and optimize Visual Studio 2003. Finally, you should see several icons, each with a different air look.

  When this happens, you can maximize is more than a simple click (as there are a stacked icons). Sometimes, only one of the icons to display Visual Studio 2003 (when testing this now, the other icon displays a portion of the Office of comments). If multiple copies of Visual Studio 2003 are launched, it is difficult to know who is who.

  Procedure reproduce problem 2:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3 minimize Visual Studio 2003.

  4. place the cursor on the icon. You should see the icon in Aero Peek (similar to the Aero Peek look when you use Microsoft Windows XP Mode).

  Aero Peek works great for other applications reduced, such as Windows Explorer.

  Steps on how to reproduce the issue n ° 3:

  1. start the mode of the unit for Windows XP clients.

  2. launch Visual Studio 2003 on the start menu of the unit.

  3. start Windows Explorer in the start menu of the unit.

  4 to minimize Visual Studio 2003.

  5 optimize Visual Studio 2003. The icon disappears briefly and then displayed in a different location (to the right of the icon in Windows Explorer).

  I guess that these issues will eventually with the similar Microsoft products such as SQL Server Management Studio, newer versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Office (I guess just--I have not tried other programs).

  These questions, it is very difficult to use Visual Studio 2003 in Unity Mode, which is the main application, I need to use the virtual machine. I would love to see these issue fixed.

  Kind regards

  Tim

  Hi Tim, this behavior all boils down to the fact that when you reduce the VS, is not to minimize as windows normally do. VS hides the main window, and then returns to the window in the reduced state.  When the host sees the window becomes hidden, she removes the button from the taskbar to the window of the unit; There is no way of knowing that the window will be re-shown again later.  The thumbnail Aero does not work for the reduced window because the host never saw this window in its normal state, so that the host knows not what are the contents of the window.

  The good news is that you can work around the button behavior of taskbar in Workstation 7.1 by pinning the window VS. In this way, the taskbar button will always be there no matter how many times the window of the unit is shown/hidden. It will not solve the problem of thumb nail, however.

• How to download the program Volume control for the taskbar

  Where can I get the installer of the volume control for my taskbar. I've triedControl Panel >sounds and Audio devices > check "Place Volume in the taskbar icon .

  When I check the box for "place volume icon in the taskbar" it gives me an error and 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.

  Where can I get the program from?

  You mention that your netbook is HP. Most of the HP products have a recovery partition. If this is the case:

  -Click Start-> Run

  -Type in cmd

  -Type in the following, substitute the C:\ and D:\ readers with your partition recovery and partition system respectively:

  Expand c:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ d:\windows\system32\dllcache\sndvol32.exe

  -Press enter, and then type:

  Expand c:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ d:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe

  -Type exit and press ENTER.

  Your Volume control should now be restored. You can check this by opening the sound and Audio Control Panel devices and by checking the box to the volume icon to Place in the taskbar.

  If your problem is not solved or there is no such thing as a recovery partition after the return

  Hope this helps

• When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified. I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.

  Original title: Internet wireless connection

  I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

• How to add sounds to the light icons in the taskbar when events happening?

  Well, my question is maybe very simple, I hope I can get help here, I ve been wondering how to make the icons on the taskbar sound when something happens for example when you receive a message 'Skype', the light of the task bar, but in my case they do not all sound the answer to that might be in the Skype settings, but, I want is doing the actual windows to make a sound to tell me something that is happening there, and of course I can chose the sound of that.

  the example of "Skype" might not be the best here, lets say another software, when is reduced and something happens, call your attention to the icon in the taskbar with start to glow, but sometimes I'm in another place, or looking for another way I could not miss this event in this software need my immediately attention with sound, I could turn on my loud speakers so I will be heard.

  Thank you

  Hello Derwyn,

  Thank you for your response.

  I appreciate your time and your concern.

  Unfortunately, the desired Windows sound is not included in the Windows sound scheme.

  However, in the article in the previous post on changing the sounds of the computer, you can see under the heading 'Windows Explorer' under the window 'events of the program'inside'sound'. You can find the other sounds of Windows Explorer as blocked pop-up navigation block, empty, trash, move menu items and so on.

  Thank you

  3. These computers are connected to the domain network, the working group or to a group of House?

  If it appears that both computers on other computers that are connected to the network, then it means that the problem is also with the computer which first appeared only two. If it does not appear that the two computers on other computers, then it means the problem is with the connection between your computer and the other computer which emerged only two.

  If it appears that both computers on other computers connected to the network and then try the turn off network discovery, and then turn on the computer, which looks like two computers on the network. For this you can check the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

• How can I pin the desktop icon in the taskbar

  Before I bought my new computer with windows 8, I used to have the desktop icon in my taskbar (very useful for when I have a lot of windows open at the same time and need to access the icons on my desktop).  I would click on the desktop icon in the taskbar and hey presto all other open windows minimize all without the need to reduce to a minimum to each of them individually. Ideal for quick hide all open files!  However, I can't figure out how to get the desktop icon in my taskbar in windows 8.  Can anyone help?

  Windows key + M does the same thing. Also move the mouse to the lower right of the task bar is also.
