Windows 7 change automatically the compatibility on steam

Hello

I just had a strange error output of steam, in which Windows says it has detected problems of compatibility and changed automatically in response to this. There is no option to cancel the changes, and looking at the exe of steam, no compatibility setting have been changed.

However, when I go to open steam now, it detects that it is in compatibility mode and does not open. Anyone has any idea how I would like to undo changes?

I do not understand why Windows has changed the settings in the first place, as it has been working well since the RC is released.

  • Pavilion g7 Notebook PC windows 7 - changes on the desktop when moving the mouse to the keyboard

    I have a HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC running windows 7.  When I use the mouse (wireless or wired) and then click to add text - when I go to type on the keyboard - the window becomes the office window. If I drag on the touchpad, returns the original window. This happens quite often.  Any suggestions as to what may cause this problem?

    Hey pjg316,

    I'm sorry that you run into this problem from touchpad. There are gestures multitouch built into many laptops touchpad drivers. Synaptics (the manufacturer of touchpad) did a good job of making these features very customizable gesture.

    It seems that perhaps the four fingers Flick that causes this problem. You can either

    (1) disable it so it never happens, or

    (2) you can set the sensitivity of the mouse so that it does not recognize your hand/fingers hovering / brushing in the touchpad as the flick of four fingers.

    To view these settings:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. type "mouse".

    3. click on the tab to the right. He can say "ClickPad" / "TouchPad" / "Device" / 'Synaptics' settings depending on what version you have.

    4. then click on settings for ClickPad.

    5. If you want to disable the four fingers flick, just to develop gestures MultiFinger and uncheck the box. Don't forget to click on apply to save the changes.

    If you want to change your sensitivity and keep the four fingers flick activated, expand pointing and double-click sensitivity. Adjust the slider only one notch at a time, to avoid making too big of a change that would make the touchpad is very sensitive. Don't forget to click on apply to save the changes.

    If you make any changes you want to UN - do, you can always click the default button at the bottom left. Let me know if you have any questions

    Hey Jake Root,
     
    a. using a laptop or a desktop computer? There are times that your laptop battery is low and the screen goes to the basic theme.
     
    b. your computer was pre-installed with Windows 7?
     
    c. do you have a software preinstalled on your computer?
     
    Your computer manufacturer might have installed something that is responsible for customization of the office and the change of paper painted. check what is running in a context (it may have an icon in the taskbar notification area). If this is responsible for customization change its settings, disable it or uninstall it.
     
    In the meantime, you can follow the below methods:
     
    Method 1:
     
    1. click on start, in the search box, enter %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes ------(you will find files there are two: TranscodedWallpaper.jpg and slideshow.ini)
    2. open slideshow.ini > delete its content > save changes

    3. delete TranscodedWallpaper.jpg (you can substitute your own file of this name)

    4 reboot your system

    5. try to change the desktop background (right-click on the desktop > personalize > wallpaper)
     
    Method 2:
     
    You can place your computer in a clean boot State and check.
     
    There could be a possibility that a third-party application conflicts and the problem occurs.

    My PC with Windows 8 began an automatic update about 3 days ago. I can't do anything to cause this. It took a long time to complete.

When I change to the Start Page, it's completely different. She added 8 new applications, and the bottom of the page is different.

  • Windows 7 changes the language automatically in another language

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop. I chose traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) as the default language for Windows. But somehow the windows changed to another language (probably Portuguese) after system reboot later. I applied all available Windows Update, so I don't know if it updates is causing this issue.
    When I restart windows, it will update my customization... and 30% higher (at the moment it's still traditional Chinese)... then the system will reboot and restart Windows and also continue to update customization of 30% (but at the moment, it has changed in an another language-Portuguese).

    This I make no choice since I use no ultimate or higher version, I can't download the MUI language pack and go back to my traditional Chinese. I need to recover the windows and cause all my files/document deleted.

    Are there ways to fix the language of the interface of Windows 7 Home Premium? Thank you

    1. what operating system is installed on your computer?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    Method 1:

    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    Note: All data that are infected must be cleaned only by deleting all of the data, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Windows XP: desktop icons changed to the same names, but retained their original functions

    Hello

    I know that put at the point before, but the problem was never properly solved. I have Windows XP. While I was changing the name of one of my Office Word Document files yesterday, all of a sudden all my desktop icons changed under the same name. I can't tell you how it happened. 'My computer', 'My Documents', 'Trash' 'Internet Explorer', 'Adobe Reader', 'Corel Photo House', "MS Paint", "HP Solution Center" and eight other program launch icons, as well as 12 document records and 25 files of Word document on my desk, all had the same name change that I'd just been undertaken with one Word on my desktop files. Each icon has yet launched the successful operation or properly open to its original content.

    I called my friends in the Geek Squad to two different Best Buys and they had never heard of him. I called Microsoft Corp. in Washington State and spoke to someone there. He had never heard of this before but found a couple of reports, one in 2006 and one in 2009. He said that he asked around the House Microsoft and if he could find an answer, post it on the forum.

    No one was able to tell me how it could happen and no one could tell me how to fix it.

    I then, on my own, done a restore of the system in two days. He restored the original names on all the items that I have listed above and it restored the original names on all 12 desktop file folders. But it does not restore the names under the 25 Word document files. Those that I had to open individually to see what they were and then rename them manually the original name. Would enjoy to hear your opinion on this.

    Pete Speth

    Hi Pete,.

    I tried what you wrote... Select all the files, rename one file and all the files are renamed automatically - as I thought - but for a change of my computer, my network places and My Document obtained renamed the sting that it represents in the registry! I tried CTRL + Z file names seem to be restored, but not for the default icons!... Seems interesting...
