Vista and Admin

I installed Palm Desktop on my Vista Home PC using my admin account. During the installation all my data was hotsynced in the admin folder.

Now, when I run Palm Desktop I have no access to the admin folder. And curiously HotSync runs as an admin for I can 'sync' the device.

So my question is what is the appropriate means to install or use it so that "ordinary" users can access their own devices/files without becoming admins?

Manual glosses on this saying of problem just follow the instructions.

Hello pazhk and welcome to the forums of Palm.

You must add your Windows account to the Administrators group in Windows.  You will be granted the same privileges as the administrator account.  You will need to make this change, when logged in as an administrator.  When you log on as yourself, you will have the role of high security in Windows.

Now go to a head, and reinstall Palm Desktop and HotSync your Palm on your computer.  If you wish, also install some third party applications or conducted HotSync and HotSync again to make sure that everything works.

At this point, you can either the role of high safety level in place or you can revoke.  Personally, I have it reverse as more every day do not require you the level of security which ensures the role of admin computing needs.  Revoke the security role also makes your computer less vulnerable to spies, virus software, etc.

  • I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.

    I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.  I ran disk cleanup, disk defragmentation and cleaned up all the old files and still only have 793 MB free on GB total 103.  I noticed that my 6.0.6002.18005_001c11ba_blobs.bin file takes 54.9 GB of space.  In research, it seems that it is safe to delete this file--is that true?  If so, how? It seems that I need permission to do this.

    To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

    Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

    You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

    You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

    Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

  • Quality of its poor window media player with vista and windows 7

    Since I bought my first Vista PC three years ago I never liked playing my music with Windows media player. This is because the sound quality is irritating. For some reason, the volume of any song keeps rising and falling when he plays with the media player but the same player sound perfectly with any other player. Note, in this case with windows Vista and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I have always noticed the same problem. Many of my friends who use Windows vista or windows 7 also complained about this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Because I can't play my songs with windows media player on my pc windows 7 and I had to keep my old windows xp just to play my songs.

    Hello

    It could be mainly mediocre speakers. Check you drivers.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS Manager - look for HD Audio Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
    (This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.

    NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
    installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
    the fact.

    Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • WRT 310N worm. 2. cannot update Windows Vista and Norton 360 since I installed this router

    Hello world

    As the topic title says, since the installation of the router WRT 310N worm. 2 on my laptop, Windows Vista, and Norton 360 can not be changed - I continue to receive operation failed errors whenever I try to download the latest version of the software updates or antivirus. Generated error doesn't also have a HelpFile associated with it.

    I went to the admin settings, but since I'm pretty new to routers and wireless technology in general, I'm a little busy with what we have to try so I thought I'd come here and ask the experts.

    Would be very happy for any help!

    Thank you very much

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    Mick4 wrote: the problem is that I only could unzip the 3 dll files but don't know how to replace the bad dll files. Mick 4

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

    Hello!

    I'm new to the forum, so I apologize if already, this question has been asked.
    I have a Satellite A200 - 13 M (PSAE6) with windows xp. As my computer crash, I send in the recovery and I pick it up today. I've noticed that people who fix my computer Flash the bios with the 1.70v bios for Vista...

    I would like to know if they are the differences between a bios for vista and one for xp?
    As I have Xp installed, can I Flash the bios with a bios designed for xp? (5.30v)

    thx a lot.

    The difference between the BIOS is BIOS XP allows the FN XP keys and some other features, so the same does the Vista BIOS. There are other things of compatibility based intaglio the BIOS.

    In your case, please install the BIOS for WIndows XP.

  • NB100 and graphics issues in Vista and Windows 7

    Hi all.

    I have two NB100s and I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. Everything went well until what the graphics driver has been loaded. Responses of the screen were as refresh once per second 5, then also the system froze for a few seconds - impossible to work on it. The case even on the two NB100s and even with the new drivers from Windows update. I'm curious to know what is the problem, because a lot of guys have written that they are running windows 7 and everyting is ok right after installation. I tried Windows Vista and the same situation has occurred. The only way I can use it with Windows 7 is to use the XP drivers. But then the aero glass does not. I just got idea if there is no problem with the new bios 1.6. It seems that other older guys NB100 and use Windows 7. Could someone help me? Has anyone tried Windows 7 with bios 1.6? THX.

    Hello!

    I think the problem is that you are using a beta version of the operating system and not a final version and these errors are normal because nobody can say that Windows 7 beta runs perfectly and without problems on all laptops or computers.

    However, see the Intel Web site for the latest drivers. Perhaps there is a newer version than on the Windows Update Web site.

    Good bye

  • is their any difference between the appearance of firefox 5.0 in vista and xp?

    I see a picture different firfox 5.0 in the site relative to the one im using it.

    It varies a little. If you have never installed Firefox before 5, so Vista and 7 you will probably get the orange Firefox (abbreviated menus) button while in XP you get the classic menu bar. However, it is easy to switch between them.

    If you want the classic menu bar, press the Alt key to display it, then

    Menu view > toolbars > check the Menu bar

    If you would like the orange button in Firefox, then

    Menu view > toolbars > uncheck the Menu bar

    The menu toolbars is also available as a pop-up when you right to the classic menu bar, or an empty area of the bar tabs, or from various places on the other toolbars.

    Other than that, the user interface pretty much look the same, reversing the effects of weird translucent window in Vista/7.

  • Vista and Tecra S1 - need new Display Driver

    Hi all

    I hope you can help me.
    I installed Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba Tecra S1 (of control), but I have no correct video driver. Only for Windows XP Home display-ts1-xp-614106476 driver is not accepted by Vista and my Tecra with Videodriver standard but graphic short is very slow.

    Is there a solution?

    Thanks a lot for your answer

    Regards Wolfgang

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Tecra S1 was delivered with the graphics card of 32 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 graphics card.
    On the Toshiba page you will certainly find no Vista drivers for this device.

    I think 3rd websites and goggling in internet research is your last resort

  • How can I recover my Vista and remove Windows?

    Hi, my daughter send me Windows 7 since the Switzerland and said it can be installed in 3 PC, I install and now can not register because it is not the case and I need to remove the Windrow and revert to Vista 32, I download the recovery disc for my Toshiba but how I can recover my Vista and Windows delete & is not unclear to me. I was told that it is very easy to do if you know how.

    > I have download the my Toshiba Recovery disk
    I put t know what you downloaded, but you have not downloaded a Toshiba Recovery disk because the recovery disc can not be downloaded!

    > but how can I recover my Vista and Windows delete
    If you have an original Toshiba recovery disc then put it in the CD/DVD drive and the start of this drive.
    The recovery disk would start and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    Installation of recovery disk would format the whole HDD (!) which means you n t need to delete anything before starting the installation of the recovery disc! Recover disc remove everything!
