• Vista 'Open file location' has stop working after installing IE9 Beta

  My context option 'Open file location' has quit working on all the shortcut files (.lnk).  Choosing 'open file location' triggers WITHOUT ERRORS and seems to not trigger any increase in CPU activity, or I can't detect any change in process explorer, it's just nothing at all.  BUT it doesn't seem to work because he used for the FIRST time (and only the first time) I have choose it from a shortcut on the desktop after a reboot... as long as I do not first open all records.  PLEASE NOTE that this behavior only started in the morning, after I installed IE9 Beta on my computer.

  I use Vista Ultimate SP2 on a box of Dell, Intel Pentium D 3.00 Ghz with 3.5 GB of Ram.

  I rely heavily on "Open file location" to navigate through my system so that your help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks for the reply Martinez!

  1. sometimes for all the shortcuts in all folders, including the office.

  2. sometimes for shortcuts related to music files, JPGs, microsoft word files, exe files, and others.  The shortcuts are in several different directories.  It is worth noting that the target location listed in the properties files is correct exe programs will be running, and music or photo files will play/display double clicked.  Only problem is NO way to open the folder of file location of the shortcut target.

  Step 1: Permissions for all folders that I normally use are the same they have been for years, which includes the folders that contain the shortcuts and those containing targets.  They are: 1) the permissions of system-all verified.  (2) MyName (HOMEPC\MyName) - all verified permissions. (3) Directors (HOMEPC\Administrator) - checked everything except special permissions.  The exception being the 'Programmes' to root folder that has no permissions other than read, execute, and list.  Subfolders for individual programs have the same permissions as mentioned above for my usual records.

  Step 2: I uninstalled IE9 Beta and the location of the file open function has been restored as if by magic!  .Lnk file associations appear to be identical to what they were when that was the problem.  IE9 has maybe a bug or an incompatibility in this somewhere1?

  Thanks for your help... I'll check to see if it is what I do for IE9, like the speed increase!

• AERO Peek stopped working after a few adjustments with HP to get my Photosmart printer to work

  I just upgraded a fairly new computer of mine from Vista to Windows 7 Professional.  The upgarde went well however the AERO Peek stopped working after a few adjustments with HP to get my Photosmart printer to work.  I tried to make the show thumbnails of running programs to display in the taskbar with no luck.  Any suggestions?

  Hi Lisa52465,

  (Already responded to dadams26 in a separate thread and it fixed the problem beautifully).

  Have you tried to run the Aero Troubleshooter? If this is not the case, try this:

  1. open the control panel

  2. go in the system and security category

  3. go to the Center of the Action

  4. click on the link to solve common computer problems

  5. click on appearance and personalization

  6. Select Aero

  He must either correct the errors problem or the State to determine the cause.

  If the Aero Troubleshooter is not the thing, maybe it's just that the Aero feature has been disabled by the update. Try this:

  1. right click on the desktop

  2 select Customize

  3. Select an Aero theme

  4 see if previews back

  Just for the record, could you let us know if any of the suggested fixes works (and which). If you still have problems after trying the above, could you please come back with more details (if possible).

• on dv6 fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton 2012

  Fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton Internet Security 2012 on both of my notebooks from HP.

  Product name: HP Pavilion dv6

  Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

  Error message in Device Manager under biometric devices in Device Manager displays an exclamation mark beside validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018). The following message is under the general tab: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

  Driver is present and seems to be up-to-date.

  Appreciate your help.

  I have finally isolated the problem of my software lack of HP dv6 fingerprint reader. I think Norton Removal Tool, available online at www.symentec.com/nrt, was the reason. I am sure this conclusion because the exact same problem occurred after I installed Norton Internet Security 2012 on laptop HP same as my wife. I tried, in vain, to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the biometric fingerprint device provided by Validity Sensors, Inc.

  After spending a day and a half to try to "solve" the problem, I decided to restore my system and go back to the prior agreement of the point of the installation of Norton. Thank you HP to make this process quick and painless. Don't forget that if you installed anything after the restore point, it will have to be reinstalled.

  Fortunately, there's a less intrusive on CD of Norton removal tool. This utility uninstalls an older version of Norton you are requested to restart and then installs the latest NIS. It is a method of removal safer that wide brush offered by the Norton Online link, which wipes everything remotely suspect.

  After reinstalling Norton Internet Security 2012 from the CD, everything works as it should, including the fingerprint reader.

  Hi Dan MJ.

  Yes, you can go ahead and try the steps in my previous post and check if this solves the problem.

  If these steps is not enough you can follow these methods and check if it works:

  Method 1: I you recommend to turn off the computer, unplug the power, restart the computer and reconnect the USB device. See if the device is detected.

  Method 2: You can run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter and see if this fits the Bill.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

• vCenter stopped working after installing WSUS

  As I tried to connect to our testlab vCenter (vSphere 5) this morning, I found that it stopped working.

  After a little research on the Machine (64 bit Win2k8) I discovered that someone went ahead and installed WSUS on the same computer that is running vCenter.

  As ex-athletes vCenter probably stopped working due to a port conflict between IIS and vCenters Tomcat (the two default port 80), so I tried to change the Tomcat port in the server.xml file. But which seemed to have done nothing at all (maybe I have something wrong here, not much in tomcat).

  Because I don't want the whole machine setup and I had some problems in the past with WSUS running on non-standard ports, I'm looking for some guidance on how to fix the vCenter instead.

  Any suggestion on what/where exactly, I do need to change?

  Thanks in advance

  First of all, you can check the vpxd.log on the vCenter server to ensure that it is indeed a problem of port conflict

  There are several services that might be running on port 80. Outside of IIS, SQL server reporting services is quite common in conflict with vCenter server.

  You can use netstat-nab | / findstr/i 80 to check what service using the port. If it turns out to be SSRS, you should be able to disable the service safely.

  I did find an official documentation to change the port for vCenter after installation. But a solution would be to stop the WSUS service and start the service of vCenter server. Connecting to vCenter and go to Administration--> VirtualCenter Management Servcer--> Web Service Configuration and change the http port.

  Let us know how it goes...

• All-in-One L7550: all-in-One printer L7550 stop working after a Win 10 update

  In the last two days my printer has stopped working after many updates to Win 10.  Functions in fact any printing has stopped (swirling points) to include my PDF SW.  I downloaded the last SW all-in-One and tried to install it.  The first thing that happened is that he tried to remove the previous SW.  Hooked to halfway through it.  Then, it was a nightmare.  I can't get the rest of the SW uninstalled nor can I install the latest SW.  I even tried to install the previous SW in Win 7 compatibility, but after extraction it just stops.  Tried to install the current version in Win 8 conpatibility, but it also wrong on.

  Any ideas wher can I start?

  Welcome to the Forums of HP, @CharlieCC,.

  I hope to help you with installation and uninstallation issues you are having with your Officejet L7550 on Windows 10.

  1. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
  2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
  3. Download the software and choose to save money, save it on the desktop: all-in-one printer, HP Officejet Pro L7550
  4. After downloading software and extracts, reopen the temp folder, use the instructions in step 1.
  5. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356)
  6. Open the folder Util
     
  7. The CCC folder
  8. If you have a computer HP run the L3uninstall.exe (or .bat).
  9. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer

• Updated Windows rebooted my computer and installed the updates last night and now my login password is different and I can not connect. Help?

  I put my computer to sleep last night and when I woke up this morning it has restarted and was sitting on the login screen.  This occurs when windows update itself - and I absolutely hate it by the way.

  When I entered my password, it says that it was incorrect.  I had the same password for a long time, so the only thing I can think is that the update of windows somehow changed my password.  I have Vista Ultimate 64 b.

• OfficeJet 8600 N911a MAC wireless stopped working after installing Win 7 Hello

  Since my original installation of this printer in August 2013, I had a simple and flawless printing installation wireless for Macbook Pro (10,9), Macbook Air (10.7.5), iMac (10.6.8) (7.1.1) iPads and iPhones (7.1.1).  Last night, I tried to connect Win 7 laptop to HP via Bonjour.

  All devices except the iMac are now impossible to print.  10.6.8 OS seems to be ok.

  All devices to recognize the 8600, but nothing prints. iphones and ipads acknowledge the 8600, but nothing happens when I click on print.

  I tried to reset the default printer, download the drivers, reboot the wireless network, etc.

  HP printer utility opens fine on the Mac, and I can see the power levels and other information related to the printer.

  Help!

  Einstein said to do the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is insanity.

  After reading the other posts on this forum, I have "reset" my mac printers, deleted my printers, reinstalled my printer, downloaded and installed the printer drivers, unplugged my router, power off my printer at least 3 times each, and that's all working again now.

  I believe in putting in place this laptop Windows POS on my print caused network failure.  I was no problem since I stopped using windows about 5 years, and then this.  Lesson learned.

• My device audio stop working after the installation of update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2286198)

  Hi, since Windows Update automatically installed this patch my audio device stop working. It does not appear in Device Manager. I've restored the system to a previous point and works now. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows, but I really appreciate if Microsoft Support could check this because at some point, I will need to continue the update of Windows (because of several security mistakes!).

  Thank you!

  I restore my system to an earlier point and did not work! After several hours of searching for a solution in the web I realized that (fortunately!) I had a copy of the registration precedent and do a comparison, I noticed that some missing case book lines:

  In

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_02 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0002\

  The 'Control' key with a string value 'ActiveService "=' Modem' was absent.

  Also in

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0001

  I added a 'Control' button with a string value "ActiveService" is"ksthunk".

  Finally, I restart my system and Windows again recognizes my camera and the driver installed!

  Of course this solution depends on the machine you have. I have a HP Pavilion dv2000 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221.

  I hope this helps someone!

• Satellite U300-130 - TosBtMng has stopped working after installing Nokia PC Suite

  I have the same problem too... with Toshiba Satellite U300-130.

  Bluetooth worked well enough before I installed the Nokia PC Suite for my mobile on my PC (new version 7.1.26.0 Web site).

  To be correct, as a first step, I even managed to maintain a connection between the PC and the Nokia Bluetooth and ran the synchronization of the contacts. I tried several times, but each time synchronization run ended with the message "PC couldn't get response from your Nokia.

  After the reboot, my PC went crazy and started broadcasting the message "TosBtMng has stopped working" and it restarted every time that I ask him to close.

  Installation of the new version of BT Stack (6.40) does not resolve this error.

  Help, please

  I also use Toshiba Satellite, I use this [suite Nokia pc | http://www.softsea.com/review/Nokia-PC-Suite.html] version
