    Hi, Rumail
    Windows Vista system icons are stored in 'C:\Windows\system32\imageres.dll '. HOWEVER, because these are stored in a .dll file you can access them except through the programs, they have been made. (in other words, you cannot copy them)

  • Windows XP crashes intermittently when stopping. Stuck on the screen with the default windows background color and the mouse pointer.

    We are an OEM that systems of electronic Assembly is based, in our machine is a PC running Windows XP Professional that provides the interface for the operator. Some of our systems have begun to crash intermittently when stopping.  Up to now we have seen it on three machines.  There has been no change to hardware or drivers that we put on these machines.

    The PC is supposed to stop at the point were he said "It is now turn off your computer", but it hangs when the only thing on the screen is the default windows background and the mouse pointer. The mouse moves, but that's all. He is unresponsive to ctrl-alt-delete, or any other entry.

    This was reported 5 times, and in any case there's nothing in any log file which would tend to indicate where the problem is maybe.

    I guess we have a bad driver or device, but the problem only happens once all stops of 5-10, and only after the machine is turned on for a while.

    I just turned on the detailed status messages, but they did not stop the machine since.

    What I asked is: is it possible to get windows to connect to all events stop? I really want to know what he was doing when he stopped.  Can someone else think something I can look at, or a better way to debug this?

    Re: a suggestion on this new monitor to 'prove' is the source of the problem
    Disconnect it, connect a type non-ecran touch "ordinary".
    stop/restart in safe MODE, make sure that the old monitor is not appear in the Device Manager [what we used to call a ghost]
    If it IS, delete it & uninstall the sw provided with touch screen
    Reboot in normal mode
    Try a stop
    If you get the old orange it'S now SAFE, tell the seller about IT.

  • Your power plan information isn't available - and default Windows 7 missing power management

    I recently installed Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my laptop HP Pavilion DM1-4027sa (ships with the 32-bit version, but I wanted to install more than 4 GB of memory where the change in 64-bit).  Initially, all default power plans were presented and Windows Experience Index has worked.  Then somewhere along the line of the installation of a large number of windows updates (including SP1) and install the latest HP Power Manager (the root of the problem, in my opinion), the default power disappeared and it stopped the test Windows Experience Index working (details below).  I searched these forums and the internet more widely for a solution and have already tried the following:

    1 uninstalled HP Power Manager (the first thing I did).
    2 run cmd as administrator and run the powercfg line - RESTOREDEFAULTSCHEMES.  Run powercfg-LIST before and after just lists the GUID feeding "381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e '.»»  The fact that he has only this one is my reason to suspect HP Power Manager software deleted my system ('High Performance' etc.) windows default patterns

    As well, the default settings have been removed (probably by HP Power Manager) is it possible to re - install the Win 7 default power management without making a long system repair?  (I have installed since many things that literally took days.  So I really hated to have to all downwind just to fix this power scheme)
    Thank you in advance to anyone who can answer this question.

    I think I have solved this problem.  The information in the links below I created .pow files for all default windows using plans/plans (energy saving, high performance and balance) on an another Windows 7 laptop (a Lenovo N200 with a power management which had not been ruined by the program of management of power supply by the manufacturer).  I then imported these power schema files into my HP laptop and, fingers crossed, everything works as it should again.  I hope it will help someone else who has the same problem after installing the HP Power Manager (it is no doubt HP Power Manager that caused the problem in the first place).

  • Where's my Windows 7 upgrade Kit?

    Hello

    I ordered my Kit to upgrade to Windows 7 in February
    and still can not get it

    I tried to e-mail sent to [email protected]

    but no more of this service is not available

    Web site: www.toshibawin7upgrade.com does not work.

    So I have a few questions:

    Where is my Windows 7 upgrade Kit and why they get my money back and is unable to make a delivery to my home in the Ukraine?

    Hi Buff

    I'm sorry to hear you are still waiting for order upgrade kit.
    You will not be happy with my comment, but I must say that it is user forum and no one here will be able to offer you help or answer your question.

    Try to contact Toshiba s hotline in your country and ask for help. Maybe they can help you with that.
    If you have received a confirmation e-mail from Toshiba try also to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider. They have good contacts to Toshiba and I hope they can help you about this.

    In any case, I hope it will be get classified as update kit soon.

  • Context change default window

    A user of my application complains that the default context window makes no sense for him. I agree that it does not sese to a user of an application. Is there a way to change this?

    I opened the window context when the application opens.

    Default window is below.

    Well, what I ended up doing was creating a case of event that will open the context menu of the first (and only the first) times a user will fly over a control on the façade - instead of open the context menu on the application startup. Given that the mouse is on a default context window control is avoided. Still a bit klunky in code, but it works. I'm not real happy with it, so if anyone has a more elegant solution.

    Here is a snippit of code on the block diagram.
