Why is a compressed folder, the only choice when trying to make a new folder?

The help section tells me to right click and when the window opens, go to 'new' and click. A drop down menu only zipped files available.  There is no regular folder.

Does it happen regardless of what program you are in? Including the Office? If you are running Vista or Win7, the difficulty lies in the links below.

  • At the signing, get popup on unencrypted connection and asking if I want to move forward. The only choice is to continue. Any help on problem solving.

    When signing up, I get a security popup alert that says, "this page is encrypted, the information you entered are to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. "Are you sure you want to continue sending this information." Two blocks, one entitled 'Continue' and a label "Cancel." The only choice that allows me to access provides is "continue". No info is given on what action is recommended to solve the "Security Alert" and I can't cancel the "security alert".

  • I teach a cardio dance class on the inside and I can't give them a many exact calories when class ends.  The only choice is on the Apple Watch is the 'other' and I know that the class Burns 600 calories in an hour, but my watch shows only 250-350 burned. 

    I use my Apple Watch throughout the day and when I teach a cardio dance class, the number of calories is MUCH lower than other materials.  Why is the Watch not count my calories accurately?  The ladies like to know the calories to burn when the class is over and I can't give them using my Apple Watch.  Others in this class that wear the watch tells you how many is not too accurate.  We burn usually about 600 + calories and I'll be happy if my registers 350.  What could be wrong? Thank you!

    Hello

    Do not forget that Apple Watch uses Active calories (those who are burned by orders or travel) as the main measure for the app to training and activity app.

    Many other applications of fitness / devices report total calories, which consists of active calories + calories at rest (that your body is still burning even when you're not active).

  • HP 6600: why can I not print with only black when I have only black cartridge in hp 6600 as hp 4500'?

    and he always says that color cartridges are leaking so I had to make one more only accepts black and I can not print with only black.

    How can I print with only black when I have the only black in the printer.

    Why only black does not work with the color cartridges.

    What is the error message you see with the color cartridges installed?

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

      • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. 5665 envy is an example.
      • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8610.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
      • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6600 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

    If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

  • Why Windows Media Player plays the song wrong when I click it in a playlist?

    I did a huge selection automatically (with 145 songs) with five-star is Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on my Dell XPS L702X.

    So, let's say that I want to hear "Everybody Hurts [edit]" r.e.m. I click on n, it starts WMP play "Slips through my fingers" by Agneta Fältskog!
    He plays another song which is 24 positions above!
    At first, it used only for touch me when I was sorting the songs in the playlist by Genre, Album, year, etc... But now, even with the contributing artist, he played another song!
    The only way for her to play the song I want is with some navigation arrow keys or when I clicked on the playlist and I'd get a unsorted list. With the unsorted list, I find the song.
    It's a difficult problem, but I have a temporary solution. But please try to find an answer!
    EDIT: now at random. Unsorted perspective will give me wrong songs and the artist's view contributing sort will give me good music! What a mix! Say that it is a "re - Mix"!

    The modem uses a virtual com port. It s not a real port.
    I wonder why it usually happens after the installation of the new operating system, you must install drivers Toshiba together in the right order
    Installing the chipset utility is important

    The modem driver should do the work and you n t need to activate com ports
    Please choose the right side of the page of the Toshiba driver modem driver after installing the OS correctly. I think that's the key

  • Get the 1097 error when trying to call a Labview DLL

    I had to write a wrapper DLL to use some functions in the DLL to a third party, and I'm having a few problems. I created an executable to test my code and it works fine, but when I try to execute the same function in the DLL that I created in Labview, I get error 1097. I read through most of the posts on this forum about this issue, but none of the proposed solutions are working for me. I'm sure this isn't a question of transfer settings to COLD LAKE because I changed the function so it only accepts a single entry (a number he obtains from a Subvi, which came from the third-party DLL, this entry is working with a bunch of other functions, so I don't think that is the question).

    I have attached the C code that creates the wrapper, but I don't know how it is useful without familiarity with the functions of the original DLL. I hope that someone can spot something basic I am out of my code, but please let me know if I need to call something else.

    I use a Labview 32 bit version 2012 on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You should read the documentation on LoadLibrary() and understand. Essentially if you provide a full path to LoadLibrary() the DLL MUST be present at this place so that LoadLibrary() will succeed. If you pass only the name Windows DLL will ONLY search in these places:

    (1) if the module (the DLL) is already loaded it will return a handle to the loaded module and increment its reference count

    (2) if the referencing module contains a manifest (either incorporated into the image module or in a separate manifest file in the same directory as the executablemodule) specyfying a version number for this DLL will load this DLL with this version of the SxS (side by side) location and failure if it is not present

    (3) if the executable load contains a manifest (either incorporated in the executable file or in a separate manifest file in the same directory as the executable file) number specyfying a version for this DLL, it will load this DLL with this version of the location of SxS (side by side) and fail if it is not present

    (4) it will search for the DLL in the same directory as the directory where the current image of the process is loaded. It is NOT the directory of the DLL loading the DLL, BUT the directory where the EXE file from which the process was created.

    (5) in the system directory

    (6) in the Windows directory

    (7) any directory in the PATH environment variable

    (8) the path of current directory which is a location managed by windows by process and changed the two explicitedly when the application calls the API SetCurrentDirectory() but also implicitedly by things like the file selection dialog whenever it is rejected by other means than the undo operation.

    Essentially putting your dependend DLL in the same directory as the wrapper DLL does NOT work when you use the name of the DLL only UNLESS you place the two DLLs in the same directory as your executable file. If you don't want this restriction and want to be able to move these modules together in different directories, you don't have to create the correct path in your wrapper to LoadLibrary(). Basically, you must have the code to determine the location of your DLL wrapper path and then strip her own name and add the DLL name wrapped in it and then move to the LoadLibrary().

    There are several ways to determine the path of the current module. The simplest if you don't mind having the name hard-coded in your code DLL would be to ask GetModuleFileName (GetModuleHandle ("yourDLLname"), buffer, size).
