• Windows Explorer search feature does not work on a PDF file

  I've upgraded to WINDOWS 7 this month. As in the past I am still investigating several cases filled with PDF files for specific strings in the PDF file. The new feature of windows search is not finding files. I have all the indexed folders and have put the 'Options records' both 'in indexed locations... ". "and"always search file names... ". ». Niether option seems to work. I find that the search for a set of folers containing docx files work so I suspect something in the way the new alogrithm of WIN 7 search interacts with the type of PDF file: maybe something to with the recording of the PDF file to the operating system time?

  In this very basic problem any help is appreciated,

  Fitz

  I am also unable to search the contents of .pdf with Windows 7 files.  Check indexing according to the instructions of Ronnie above Options I have noted that, while the .pdf file has already been fixed for the indexing of content Description filter column shows "Registerd IFilter not found."  I did a bit of research and it seems that Adobe is including the iFilter in its Adobe Reader, but not for 64 bit systems which is what I am running.  A 64-bit filter is available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025, but I have not tried.

• Windows 7 Disk Defragmenter does not work

  All of a sudden, I get the following error message when you try to run Defrag

  "Disk Defragmenter cannot start the Task Scheduler service is not running. Start the Task Scheduler service and try again.',

  that does not work.

  Assuming that task scheduler was enabled and the Defragmenter tool still does not work, here is a routine that I have compiled over time which proved to be effective to solve the problems of Defragmenter:

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  0. it is malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

  1. the disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  2. the disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  3. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:

  a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
  b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
  c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").

  4. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:
  a. close all running programs.
  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.
  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and
  d. Select "start Task Manager".
  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  5. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

  6. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with her and stalking interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

  7 Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

  There are several ways to re - install the built-in Defragmenter:

  A:
  a. open the menu 'start '.
  b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
  c. in the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf.
  d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

  B:
  a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
  b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
  3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

  C:
  a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
  b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
  c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing Defragmenter files.

  8. most of the problems will be solved by #6 above, but if not, and if your windows installation is otherwise working well, you should consider to download a free trial of a Defrag tool commercial rather than drastic measures to restore the functionality built-s. Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.

  Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...

  Here's a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:

  http://Disk-Defragmenter-software-review.TopTenReviews.com/
  Place it at the top of the page is the only defrag program that also prevents the fragmentation (see comment).

  Why is it good to prevent fragmentation?

  Basically, it significantly increases life expectancy of your hard drive (especially since you don't have to leave the system on all night - a much 'greener' agricultural practice), not to mention it also increases the performance of the system.

  Find out what the review has to say on this.

  Good luck to you!

• Search bar does not work.

  I am running FF25.0.1 on Windows 7, but I had this problem for several versions, do not remember when he started. The search bar does not work with any engine, I can type and the cursor flashes but it does not research when I hit enter or use the search button.

  I tried:
  -clean the uninstall/reinstall firefox
  -create a profile
  -in the course of running as an administrator
  -test in safe mode
  -suppression of research and searchmetadata.json, formhistory.sqlite, etc..
  -removal of the plugins to search then by reinstalling ff to generate news
  -use the searchreset addon

  After some of them, the search bar will work only once to help enter or the button before returning to the uselessness.

  I'm more or less certain that I don't have a malicious software. I do not use the address bar to search because it is a little more complicated to use terms, including the slashes or openings of the diaphragm, and put except that I do not have the functions which do not hang out.

  Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

• Satellite L500-126, (Fn Hotkeys) Flash card still does not work

  I use windows 7 ultimate x 64 on L500-126, the new win7 x 64 drivers are available since yesterday...

  However, maps (Fn Hotkeys) Flash still does not work after the installation of the new VAP. Flash cards can appear at the top of my screen, I can click on them with the mouse, but the Fn combinations work not at all!

  I noticed that there is a downloadable driver called "support Flash Cards", even, I installed this app, the problem still remains.

  Then I uninstalled VAP and kept "Support Flash Cards", to my surprise, the combination Fn + F6 and F7 (brightness adjustment) worked! However, without VAP I couldn't use other combinations.

  Are there still problems with the new VAP for win 7 x 64?

  P.S. The new "hardware configuration" seems to be a problem as well, I tried to change some configurations in this application but after re-boot, all options are returned.
