Navigate to the here windows Compatibility Center

  • Why in the world a laptop would not come with a dvd player? This is the most stupid thing ever

    I do not buy laptops often, it's only my second laptop computer purchase after having spent five years with an HP laptop. Was not the greatest, but it helped me to get through school and work. Now, I buy an acer because I heard a lot of people it's a great brand, but I'm quickly doubt that. Why? It is not a cd/dvd drive. Why in the world a laptop never would come without one? I'll come back this and am greatly disappointed with this brand. I did not and will not encourage anyone to buy an acer laptop.

  • My computer toshiba laptop has a webcam that doesn't work. Less than 6 months

    I've only used the unit about 6 times and has always worked well until one day it didn't work.  my system is windows vista Home premium 32-bit.  I tried the update of drivers, reinstalling the software assistant camera and with the included disks system recovery.  He said drfiver open fail restart camera or computer.

    Hi hollywood1973,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    First of all, I would say that you install the latest drivers for the integrated webcam site of laptop manufacturers and are looking for the latest drivers for the installation of the webcam it restarts the computer and check if it works.

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you repair the software assistant camera on the control panel.

    Click on camera Assistant in the Panel control/programs/uninstall a program.  Click on the Camera Assistant Software. Then choose repair.

    If the steps above does not resolve the question suggests that you contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

  • Why none of my internet browsers work on a laptop?

    original title: why none of my internet browsers work on a laptop but they work fine on another laptop?
     
    OK, my laptop used to run all my browsers just find (chrome, IE, Firefox, etc), but for some reason some they just decided to stop working. I have a perfect internet connection on the laptop and everything. I know that's not the router because I have another laptop (Mac) and it works my browsers just find. Im sure it is the computer because I can not even play on multiplayer Minecraft, which requires internet. All browsers say error and all this other gibberish. I've already rewritten the hosts file typing a lot many times to know that I was not missing.

  • HP WEBCAM 101 WILL NOT WORK WITH CYBERLINK OR MANYCAM. HELP PLEASE! :( (UNSOLVED)

    Name of product: notebook PC HP Pavilion g7

    Product number: A6R73UA #ABA

    The problem is my webcam. My 101 webcam works via Skype, Tinychat when nothing is open.

    My Youcam which has been uninstalled and reinstalled to try to solve the problem... is not recognized by Skype or TinyChat.

    The problem is that it tells me that my cameras are all used although they closed.

    I used to be able to cam using Youcam who went though my webcam 101 but nothing works when I want to use it for social stuff.

    It shows me in the YouCam when it is opened by itself.

    Long story short, I can't use YouCam to cam with friends via Skype or Tinychat.

    I used to use Tinychat and see me on this site with the box of YouCam also show me on the side. He said now all my cams are used even if they are not.

    Device Manager says my Webcam driver is up to date.

    Triple display

    I miss the Cyberlink YouCam Splitter, I installed the latest version that has been here, but there is no separator option, compared to when I bought it?

    I think that's my main problem, can someone help me?

  • I want to synchronize my outlook account to work with my laptop.

    I don't seem to be able to completely synchronize my work with my laptop computer. I receive all incoming messages on my cell phone, but messages sent from my laptop are not displayed on my work computer. I would also like to sync contacts. I'm not very computer savy, but have a good knowledge of labour or computers. Help!

    Looks like you are using a POP email account  This type of email is not well suited for use on multiple computers.   Some e-mail providers has also supported IMAP mail that allows to synchronize completely.  Another option is to use the webmail via a browser that support most.  You need to find what are the options with your provider.

  • I have problem with Muse files when you work at home with my laptop and when I open the files again in my work with my IMac.

    I have problem with Muse files when you work at home with my laptop and when I open the files again in my work with my IMac.

    I do: when I am uncomfortable with the laptop I save the files on the laptop, then on my external hard drive. Then, when I'm at work, I opened the drive, but the Muse says every time, that so many links in the 'active' is missing. And it takes a lot of time to get all the missing link. Like today I had to open a file of Muse from the external hard drive, and there are about 100 links that are missing.

    How can I solve this problem

    the best thing if you are a user of creative cloud is to store the files in a folder in your account of cloud instead of transferring the files from one computer to another.

    If you are not a Subscriber cc then Dropbox or iCloud will work as well.
