• Choice of the desktop image doesn't "stick".

  I would like to change my desktop image every few months. I do not use the option "change images". A photo is great at the time.

  I was not able to get my choice for 'stick' after either restarting, log - you (and back), or stopping and restarting. I don't know if any of my login items could interfere - it seems unlikely, and I could not verify that.

  My Login include Android File Transfer Agent (hidden), join.me Launcher (hidden), (hidden) TotalFinder AdobeResourceSynchronizer and EpsonLowInkReminderAgent (hidden).

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  May be a corrupt .plist.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.  Move the .plists on your desktop.

  Relaunch the Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works fine, delete the plists from the desktop.

  If the same, return the .plists to where you obtained since, by crushing the latest.

• Windows 7 - files in the Desktop folder do not appear on real office

  I had Windows 7 installed a few months, have not had a single problem with it until the last round of updates. After the reboot, everything on my desk has disappeared, including trash. However, if I go to my home, all my files, links directory, folders and trash are always there. If I copy or drag something on the desktop, it immediately disappears, but again it is in my Desktop folder.

  I tried everything I can think and found fixes for similar problems in Vista, but they do not work with Windows 7.

  Maybe try right-click on desktop, display and uncheck the box next to show the desktop icons; then repeat and re-check the box. I had that happen before and it worked for me...

• License transfer of Ultimate Windows 7 laptop on the desktop (laptop is dead)

  Initially, I had a HP laptop comes with windows Vista.  When it came out, I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade for her.  This laptop is now dead and won't start.

• How to have two copies of the same program to install on WIndows 7 and on the desktop

  «"" "Dear help forum:»»"»

  I am new to WIndows 7, but just have not found the right research
  How to get my answer from Microsoft/Windows 7 basic knowledge.

  I have two programs. There are two versions of the same program
  ('LACE') One is the version 4.0.1, and the other is Version 4.0.6.

  I wish I had one old continue to run (using a purchased
  Product key which I own and have for years).

  BUT there is a problem. The old and new programs are the
  same 'setup.exe '? Download 124 MB each. There are small but
  many corrections and changes in the new program, I am told, but
  they do not have add up to change the size in MB of the program.

  SO I'm in trouble when I'm trying to download the program, as
  It seems to be in WIndows 7, a small program that removes the
  size of the incoming download and informed me that I can not download
  a new that I have already one of this program is installed in the
  computer!

  He asks me if I want to "Uninstall" the previous version and then replace
  It is with a new one. I can't cancel the old version because she had a
  Product key that was told to me in the instructions that he could
  only be used 'once', to uninstall the program won't help
  me as I won't be able to continue to use this program once again, as the
  registration code could only be used once.

  I have a purchased code new, different program version 4.0.6.

  Is this a problem with WIndows 7? I already called/sent the
  company and they have no help and no solution for how these two programs
  are to run on the same computer at the same time.

  Can you please help me and provide instructions on how I load
  This program of "LACE" most recent second size 124 MB and even download
  name in the computer (replacing the automated duplicate program
  prevention installer routine), so I can have and use two copies of
  This program on the computer at the same time?

  During the creation of this issue, I had an idea of what will happen if I created a
  second Downloaded Programs folder to contain the program setup.exe inside
  and try the operation or the opening of this place. He did not like
  the program checked the computer for the first copies of the
  LACE and identified, he was always present in the computer and asked
  Once again if I wanted to remove it.

  Thank you very much!

  If this program is not designed for the execution of the two copies on a single installation of Windows, then you simply can't do.  No ifs, ANDS or goals.  You have never been able to do with any version of Windows, and apparently the creators of this program thinks there is no reason to do so, then you'll just have to choose one version or another.  I'm not familiar with the lace, but more recent versions programs usually include most of the older features while adding the most recent.  They sometimes make us learn new ways of doing things that make us less happy, but I'm afraid that's life in the world of computing.

  That said, I must mention that there may be alternatives that you might continue even if they are less obvious than what you suggested.  If you have the professional version or full edition of Windows, you can get XP mode free you can start Windows 7.  It normally happens in 15 to 30 seconds and you could install and run another version of your program under that.  If you do not either of these versions, you can invest in the Anytime Upgrade and do it available.  Upgrade Home Premium to professional is $ 90.

  The other alternative would be a dual-boot configuration where you could have two versions of Windows in separate partitions, so when you start your computer, you can select the one with the version of your program you want.  I think that the choice of the XP mode would be preferable because it would be so much easier to use, but these two options are available, if you want to continue.

  Good luck.

• Windows goes directly to the desktop and not the boot screen.

  . My computer just updated windows 8 and now it goes directly to the office when an application instead of tiles to apps closing.  How to stop

  It's an easy fix, once you know what to look for.

  Go to the desktop and right click on the taskbar. Click Properties,

  On the first tab, there is an option to "See the Windows Store apps on the taskbar" uncheck the box.

  Then go to the Navigation tab uncheck "Boot to the desktop."

  That should do it. If it is not, please let me know.

• Stuck on blue HP Invent screen and not loading Windows not items on the desktop after you done a system recovery

  Hello, this is my first time posting here, because I'm in desperate mode!  I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5304y using Windows 7, desktop pc that I bought in February 2010.

  After getting a virus on my computer, I ordered system of HP recovery disks, and made to factory settings recovery process (twice!), however, during the Windows install process, it never cross the blue HP Invent screen that says:

  -Do not turn off your PC during this unique installation process

  -Your PC will restart several times during the installation process

  -Messages may appear on your screen. Ignore these messages until you are prompted to restart or shut down your PC

  To the bottom of the screen, it keeps saying "Please wait...". "with a green scroll bar. What I see is the buttom to start at the bottom left corner but I am not able to access anything whatsoever and I never get my desktop screen or the desktop icons. I restarted and closed several times, and as soon as I log on windows, I just get the same blue screen.

  The 2nd time I did the recovery process, I let him continue overnight (just in case I was not waiting long enough) and my computer never stop as it was supposed to when the installation is complete.  In addition, the whole process, I looked the first time around and my computer never restarted as he said he was supposed to; It seems to just be stuck for the rest of the installation procedure for windows.  There finally comes to switch to "standby" mode.

  I have nothing plugged on the other except the power cord, monitor, and keyboard/mouse.  I have not installed new hardware since I bought the computer.

  I did a test of diagnosis and everything going on.

  I tried to get help from HP Support, but because I am out of the warranty period, they cannot help me and want to charge me $99!

  I don't know what else to do at this point. Can someone please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Assuming that maybe that's a problem with the recovery discs, it is a simple work-around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your PC comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the exact retail version that you would need.

  If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the sticker COST on your PC on demand, and when the installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

• Can't install or uninstall non-Windows and related Windows-related programs on the desktop of Windows 7 64 bit

  Hi all, on Windows 7 64-bit PC brother Dell, tried to install programs such as AVG Anti Virus, Remote desktop connection update.

  Every time we try what is installation hangs and nothing happens, to use the Task Manager to complete not only the program, if it is not there at all, but the actual process.

  Same thing happens if we try to uninstall a program.

  Can uninstall in safe mode,

  Have tried restore system to a time of ealrier, but the system does not want to do same.

  At work after a few weeks, but since then without success.

  I ran SFC/scanow.

  No Anti Virus is installed at present. that, like the program, I was able to uninstall in safe mode and using the Norton Uninstall tool.

  Tried Mr FixIt, but nothing helped.

  What else can I try before I go to the extreme of a new facility? Looks like a problem with the Windows Me installation program.

  Thanks in advance

• Computer laptop Windows 7 can see the desktop of Windows XP, but cannot ping or you connect

  I've seen hundreds of threads describing problems similar to mine, but none of the suggested fixes worked in my case so I'm starting a new thread.  I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Edition.  My setup before the new laptop was as follows:

  Cable modem router NetGear WGT624v3---> desktop Windows XP Home Edition SP3--->

  I have set up portable Win 7 with the same name of the Office XP Workgroup.  The username and password are the same on both.  File and printer sharing is enabled on both.  The XP desktop laptop Win 7 in the workgroup in my network places.  It can successfully ping the laptop Win 7.  It can access shared folders on the Win 7 machine with no problems.

  My problem is that the connection seems one-sided.  Laptop Win 7 will usually display the XP desktop in the network when Windows Explorer opens.  It still display the XP desktop in the network map in network and sharing Center.  However, I can't map a network drive on the XP desktop by using the name of computer or IP address.  I can't even ping the XP desktop.  But if I start the Office XP in Safe Mode with networking, the Win 7 laptop can ping and access shared folders on the XP desktop computer.

  I tried to disable the firewall on both machines.  I confirmed that the appropriate ports are open for sharing files on both machines.  Safe mode they suggest the problem lies with Windows XP, but I'm running out of things to try.  And the various solutions I've seen in the Strait of similar positions as urban legends.

  Hi Meghmala,

  Thanks for the great tips.  You got me in the right direction.  After configuring my XP machine for a clean boot I have to ping, see and access shared files on desktop XP from Win 7 laptop.  Then, I have considered the services and startup programs that has been disabled for the clean boot.  I found a Cisco VPN service which I had previously used to fix on my office intranet.  I disabled this service and the corresponding to my next selective startup startup file.  I was still able to connect to the computer to Office XP.  I think that the VPN service was the cause of the problem even though I had no open an active VPN session.  Thanks again for this problem.  I tried to solve this problem for weeks.
