  • Why can't I rename a certain user folder?

    I bought this computer by a previous owner.  And his name still be on this folder of the user.  When I right click on the file to rename, Rename option is not displayed.  (Content in this folder are all my personal files). I am registered as an administrator and the single user account is the only one with my name.  Also, my computer name is listed under my name. Can someone please help me understand why Windows Vista won't let me not rename this user folder?  Thank you.

    Hello

    You cannot rename the user folder because you have already connected (only administrator account) and the account is currently in use.

    This is normal.

  • Why can't I combine files movie maker?

    I can't cut out of the song and played it on a video clip where the song was actually shortened. I want to do I don't want to hear the audience in the video that's why I want to create my own version of the song that was cut short. However I'm unable to do so. So what I did is to break down the song and the video into pieces and put them together one, so when you play, it will sound like the song lacked real, without hearing the audio from the video (song and the public). When I try to combine, it says the format is not supported. How is it? Your Movie Maker are files can't stand each other? Say, we want to create a film and of course we have different scenes, add score score / music on each, but we will not be able to do because the files in windows movie maker does not support its own format. How can he be the best movie maker so far? It was version 2011 for this kind of thing should never be a problem at all? I can't do what I want with this movie maker, or otherwise, there is another way to have done, and where there is, would you mind to teach me how. ? Please, this is one of my dreams and I do it myself, I want to explore what this software could do for me and I know I can do a lot of it. Thank you!

  • Why can't I rename a folder?

    When I try to rename a folder newly created - after saving a file pdf (attachment Outlook inside) - I get this error message: unable to perform action because the folder or file is open in another program. I can't do seem to change it.  The file is not open in Word; Nothing in Word is open.  Nothing is open in Adobe Acrobat.  The folder I want to rename IS open. but I can't understand how to rename a file without opening it.  Other independent Win Explorer files are open.  This so-called open the folder does not appear in the Win Task Manager.  And the only file in the devinitely folder is not opened.  Should I give up and learn to love the name I tried to change?  Or is there another step I should try?  Of course, restarting the computer will certainly solve the problem.  But I wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

    Thank you.  I solved the problem of the low tech medium.  The name of the original file was pretty close to what I had so I've ignored the problem, went and did something else in Word for a while and then tried to rename the folder again.  It worked!  Explains exactly the problem, of course, but who has time to deal with weird things in Windows?

  • Why can't I rename a sequence?

    OK, so I'm in the Panel project, not true?  Keep my own buiz and what I do.  I want to rename a sequence that I named instinctively "fat chick" because, well, uh, it was a bit heavy (and in a bikini).  Well, now I need to show the chick 'fat' that pays me what looks like its sequence.  So, I want to change 'Fat chick' to 'pretty lady' so she's happy.  But guess what?  I can with the button right and hit rename, but I never go further than that.  I can't rename it.  I therefore had to show him the sequence and hope that she would see only the video, not the name of the sequence.

    What's weird, is that I can rename a whole bunch of other sequences, but the other half of the time that I can't.  Oh, I can rename it if it is sitting in the timeline to another sequence... but it doesn't change that in the timeline panel.  (I posted on this before I realize it is a limitation in the first).  But it's different.  I have to rename the sequences in the project Panel, but cannot.

    Now she is all mad at me and threatening to sue becaue I hurt his feelings, blah, blah blah.  It's a disaster... all this because I couldn't change the name of the sequence.

    OK, so history is formed, but the problem of name change is true.  Is this a bug?  How can I rename the sequences when they do not want to be renamed and are perfect with the name, I gave them?

    I thought about it. You cannot change the name in the Panel of the sequence, you can change it in the project Panel that contains all your files. Go to the sequence name in the project Panel that you want to change, and then right-click and change the name. I tried to rename the sequence control panel.

  • Why can't I rename my project?

    Hi all
    We have recently upgraded to RH6 and its version control. (I guess that version control is the reason why I can't rename my project).
    However, the technology installed RH6 put the side Server and local project on my PC and he asks questions. One is that the name of the project server matches the local copy is no longer and it seems to be confusing for other people in the office. And the second, is that I can't rename my project at all. I need to be able to rename the project at the end of each month with the current month in the name.
    UH... does make sense? If so, is - anyone can suggest a solution?

    Sounds like 'the tech installed RH6' needs to rectify this point; It does seem like an HR issue.

    In addition, if you're going to be rename project every month, why even bother with the source code control? I think you would be better served simply copy your source for folders separated for each month and get back up daily or weekly.

    Good luck

    Hello

    What security software you have on the laptop?

    Open windows control panel, open Internet Options, click the Advanced tab, click the "Reset" button, then click apply and then click OK.  Restart the computer and see if that helped.

    If it is not, on another PC, download the FirefoxInstaller, this transfer to your laptop and install it. -you still have the same problems to download using this browser?

    Another option to try is the following.

    Judgment of the laptop. Tap here to f8 start you toward the top access to the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode with network" and press ENTER.  Let windows fully load in this mode and see if you can now access the internet and download - only choosing a site known 'safe' such as Microsoft and HP that your security software will not work in this mode.  To exit Safe Mode, just restart the laptop in the usual way and Windows does not start normally.

    Let me know the result.

    Kind regards

  • Why can I not move file .dat to the recycling bin?

    When I try to delete a .dat file that he asks to delete permanently, however I don't want to do this. I want to just move it to the recycling bin in case I need it, I can restore from there. However whenever I delete the .dat (from Desktop on my C:\ folder) it not move not the .dat file instead he said: he can't move it and it can delete it only permanently. I have a SSD hard drive in a laptop.

    I already checked Recycle Bin properties (those configured correctly) and it is not on a flash drive, this drive has a recycling bin.

    I wonder what it could be?

    What is so special about a .dat file?

    Wrong question: nothing special about of a .dat file.

    Good question: what is so special about your Windows installation?

    I suspect malware, a virus, or a third-party application that has its own ideas on the .dat files. It certainly isn't a property of Windows. You can easily check this by running a test on any Windows 7 computer.

  • Why can not download/sync files market CC?

    I encountered a problem with the sub-tab 'Market' in the 'Assets' of the Cloud creative control Panel tab. I can't download or synchronize any piece of it. If I select a template file, image, etc. and click on the button 'Download' nothing happens. Nothing appears in my creative cloud folder.

    I tried signing off CC and signature, hoping a update can fix, but the problem persists.

    I'm under CC 2015 on Win 10 Pro.

    I found the problem. My libraries CC thing went on the fritz and preventing market downloads. I closed all Adobe applications and leave the creative cloud Panel. Then I opened the Windows Task Manager, ended the process of CC libraries (or "task" as says Win10). I restarted the table CC and Adobe Illustrator (which made me re - login to my CC account). Once this has been done the components panel market worked.

    I had this problem since the new update of Adobe is out. Does anyone know how to remove PDFs with an error like this? I disabled the preview pane, the files of the drugs in the trash and cursed on my PC. Nothing has worked so far.

    Thanks for the quick response. After Googling a bit I found this: Windows 8 Tip: how to delete a PDF file without throw your computer Out The Window. NEW YORK. It looks like a problem of Windows 8. Following the instructions of this link solved the problem. If all goes well, it can help others facing the same problem.
