Enabling the setting that Hide protected files (recommended) operating system Options files hidden in two Desktop.ini files, as well. To access the Folder Options, open Windows Explorer, click on organize, click on the folder and Search Options , and select the view tab.

  • Recent Places icon appearing on the desktop when ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites

    When ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites page to clean my memory this recent locations icon appears on the desktop WITHOUT option to right click and delete OR drag it to the trash

    I found a tutorial on the web that provides a way to remove the icon
    1.right - click recent locations in the field of Favorites tab in Explorer.
    2. click on "send to", and then select Desktop
    This will automatically replace the existing icon and replace it with a DESKTOP SHORTCUT
    3. simply delete the shortcut
     
    But this issue should be fixed in next update, or maybe it is set in point 8.1 of Windows because it's REALLY BORING to this procedure whenever you clear recent locations

    Thank you very much! To solve my problem... As you have said, I hope there will be an update so that we do not have to constantly...

    Much appreciated, Cheers

  • I installed on a desktop Windows 7 (64-bit). I installed the relevant (hence HP inform me) driver for a HP 1022 printer.

    I installed on a desktop Windows 7 (64-bit) and a HP1022 laserjet connected via USB.

    The motherboard is A S Rock 760GM-GS3

    I installed the good Win 7 64 bit driver (according to HP - IE lj1018-1020-1022-HB-pnp-win64-en.exe).

    I tried to print a jpeg file, but no printing occurred, however if I create a simple message test in WordPad it prints some time later.

    The print queue seems to form OK (visible through the Panel, devices and printers), but the printer does not print.

    I need to know what I should be looking at in Windows (or other) to correct problems - any offers on plausible solutions?

    Thanks a lot of impatience.

    This Xvid CODEC will probably never import and edit properly.

    Go to the source material, before the Xvid compression, or convert to DV - AVI (if SD material) and that importation.

    Take a look at this ARTICLE on AVI (and other formats) as a 'wrapper '.

  • RESOLVED: External Volume RAID 5 TPG "split into two" once connected to the new Windows 7 64 bit install

    I have an AMS Venus T5J external drive enclosure (DS-2350J); It is filled with disks Western Digital 1 terabyte Caviar Green 5, model WD10EADS.  The device of Venus using a control panel with a JMicron JMB393 chipset, which is able to create RAID volumes to a connected host system transparently.  I used it to create a volume of 4 terabyte RAID 5 covering all five disks.  I've been accessing using a laptop Toshiba P105-S9337 with a card PCMCIA Vantec eSATA interface, which worked, but was not very effective.  Of course, it was necessary to structure the volume as TPG due to its size.  That has been a challenge.

    My primary system was Windows XP 32-bit installed, which does not support GPT disks.  I experimented with Ubuntu and another distribution of Linux, which supports the GPT, but ran into problems to mount the RAID 5 volume transparently (it may have partially been my inexperience, but it * should * have been easier).

    So I decided I have to install Windows 7 on this system, so that I could get access to this RAID her volume.  The system is based on an Asus M2N SLI Deluxe motherboard, which has an eSATA port integrated driven by a JMicron JMB363 chipset (NOT capable port multiplier).

    Windows 7 installation, installation of the JMicron driver for the motherboard and log box RAID, Windows little wanted to assign the 'disc' a new disk ID in order to to use.  I met regularly this process in the past without problems, when the new disks are presented on a Windows system, so I thought that anything that allows him to do.  However, has as expected making accessible existing volume.  After investigation, I discovered that Disk Manager believes that there is a space UNALLOCATED 1.67 TB and nothing more!

    At this point, I was naturally anxious, because I had data on the volume.  I checked the volume by connecting it to the laptop Windows 7 (32-bit) with whom he had previously worked and found a slightly different and more revealing image in disk management: there were TWO regions illustrated for the disk, an exactly 2 TB and the other TB to a 1.67, this last occupant clearly space greater than 2 TB.  These two regions, yet once, were listed as unallocated.  In both systems, Windows 7 was also clearly assumed the volume she TPMS, since the two I saw the option convert to GPT... which is already!

    That's happened?  Simply allowing Windows write a disc ID to this volume somehow corrupt?  How can I recover the previous volume of 3.67 unique TB who was present?  Should I just order in disk management to convert it to a GPT disk?  Is a non-destructive operation?

    I solved this problem with a perfect result...

    In short, I could use TestDisk to recover completely with all data intact original partition table.  It took several tries, several hours waiting for the paint to peel (scanning) and finally a brief dialogue with the proponent (Christophe Grenier).
