Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and Thunderbird will not work. SOLVED was not logged as an administrator

On my laptop, conversion of Windows 8 to 10 was fine and Thunderbird has worked without any problems. On the computer of my wife who was on Windows 7, Thunderbird does not work. Thanks to this forum I could check that all emails and addresses etc. have been copied across, but Thunderbird asks me to put in place the new account because it does not acknowledge my previous POP and other parameters. Bloody Microsoft. Can anyone help?

I have found the answer - default (why?) I was connected as administrator and therefore was not seeking the e-mail account of my wife in the same way as it would. The search in all the files and directories of profile TB, I found a test directory, where TB was given to me. Do not know what other tricks that I solved the problem, but it is all working now. And people spend their entire lives on such things?

    I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005, I also ran fix and it tells me that it is fixed but it is not getting the same error code when I try to update after running it help please?

    Hello

     
     

    1. which Microsoft Fixit did you?

    2 have you installed new hardware or software before the show?

    3. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    4 update you are trying to install?

    5. are you logged on as administrator on the computer?


    If this isn't the case, I suggest you to log on as an administrator and check for the issue.
     
    Method 1:
    One of the other reason for the 80070005 error is caused by software running on your computer security.
    Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.
    Disable the anti-virus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Method 2:
    I suggest you perform the steps described in the article:

    This problem may occur if access is denied when accessing or copying files during the process of Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

  • my laptop won't go to the starting window to type my password so I am trying to install windows 7 and it will not be installed.

    You are doing a Windows 7 upgrade starting in a race and activation of Vista operating system.

    Try to repair Vista:

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • I installed a new video card GeForce 8400 RS in windows 7 and it will not update driver

    It will not allow the pilot to upgrade and also sometimes it disappears on the desktop with the exception of the wallpaper... It will allow you to do something. If I hit Ctrl/Alt/Del nothing appears I can also do a right-click and extract options but nothing happens when I click on one of them... Cannot disable CPU with the power button on dell xps 410.le turning to close and were all back in order through the surge protector or taken, any ideas?

    With some DELL machines, to use the drivers provided by DELL so if you did not
    typo with - GeForce 8400 RS, then you may need to try DELL support drivers for your card.

    If the graphics card is a Geforce 8400 GS, you can use the drivers from Nvidia.
    Select the Geforce 8 Series and select the appropriate version of Windows - 32 or 64 bit
    for your machine.
    I think it best not to go newer than the driver WHQL 296.10 with your card.

    NVIDIA Driver Downloads - advanced search

    Do not leave Windows Update update graphics drivers (in the "optional" updates)
    Installation of the Windows updates for only you inform of updates and not install automatically.
    It is also more secure with respect to the potential for corruption updates as you do is much smaller.

    You have activated Windows yet? Don't no activation will keep you from being able to save a

  • Windows Help and Support will not start.

    My brother is running windows Vista, and the application help and Support Windows will not start.  The exact wording is:

    "Help and Support could not start.  For more information, contact your system administrator or visit http://windowshelp.microsoft.com"

    Clicked on the link but no help at all.  A system restore would work, and if yes, what are the other effects there - he will have to reinstall all windows updates, service packs, etc.. ?

    I could restore just the request of assistance?  If so, what files can I restore and where are they located?

    I stick with XP.  Vista makes no sense to me and I can't find anything!

    #2 with the exception of a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a web technology dead.  It is not taken care of by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc...  I don't recommend to use Flash for anything these days.  Better to use HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS level 3.
