If someone have a solution to this part of problem please.

  • No access to the store or change PC settings

    Hi Microsoft supports,

    My laptop (Lenovo Y500 - without SSD) comes with pre-installed Windows 8.0 and I managed to reset my computer to factory settings twice with no problems until now.

    Recently, I bought a new SSD Samsung 840 250 GB that I put in an ultrabay slot (removed the dvd player and connected my SSD drive instead). I used the Samsung migration software to clone my hard drive and to migrate all my data to the SSD. After you configure the boot sequence starting with SSD, everything went well and the windows started from the SSD instead of hard drive. The current situation is that there are the exactly the same data on my SSD and HDD.

    That is the problem. I can't access the Windows store or change PC settings article I wanted to reinstall (reset my computer to factory settings using the new SSD for my OS Win 8.) Once properly reinstalled, I would delete all the data on my HARD drive. I'm afraid to delete all my data, including Windows 8, on the HARD drive so that I wouldn't lose my Windows capable of re-installation 8.

    When I try to access change PC settings or store to Win, nothing happens and it brings me to the homescreen instead of navigate here. There is no error notification or anything. After clicking on the button change PC settings, I can see the screen for a few seconds, and then it jumps to the home screen. Here is a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/kRKYZxjk57ES

    If this may have something to do with Windows 8 security settings that prevent me from cloning my OS and move on to someone else?

    As soon as I put back boot from my HARD drive and let it boot, I can get to the Bank and the settings. As far as I know, I can't choose a car that I would like to put my Windows 8 during its installation (reset to factory settings), so I can't start an installation when booted from the hard disk. Or am I missing something? Is it possible to do?

    I scoured the forums and the Internet for the last few days and I could not find a solution to my problem, that's why, I'd appreciate it if you could help me with this question.

    Thank you very much.

    This problem may occur because of file system corrupted or because of the conflict between certain third-party applications.

    You did any hardware or software changes on the computer before this problem?

    Method 1:

    a. open Windows Explorer.
    b. press Windows + X key , and then click command prompt (Admin).
    c. type the command: sfc/scannow , and then press enter.

    Windows Photo Gallery.  How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

    Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.

    On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record.  How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?

    I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

    Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.

  • Windows 7 "do not have permission" - Internet Time - > change the settings

    I have Windows 7 Pro 32 bit installed on my laptop. I have only one configuration of account which I am the administrator of the computer.

    When you try to access the control ' Change settings ' to 'Date and time'-> 'Internet time' I'm stuck with the following message:

    "UNABLE TO CONTINUE - you are not authorized to perform this task." Please contact the administrator of the computer to help. »

    What is happening and how to fix this? It seems a little silly that I as the administrator have blocked access to this.

    Your thoughts and your advice on this would be appreciated gratefully.

    Thank you

    Matell

    Matell salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

    Step 1:

    First of all, I suggest that you enable the default administrator on the computer and check.

    To activate the default Administrator account, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type CMD in the start search box

    2. right click on CMD in the list and click "Run as Administrator"

    3. type the following command: net user administrator / Active: Yes

    If it works then it could be a problem with the damaged user profile, go to step 3.

    Step 2:

    I suggest that you turn off user account temporary on the computer and check if you are able to change the time settings on the computer Internet or not.

    1. click on start.

    2. click on Control Panel.

    3. click on user accounts.

    4. click on change user account settings.

    5. drag the slider to never notify.

    6. click on OK.

    Now check if you are able to change the settings, if the issue is resolved, I suggest you turn back to normal user account settings.

    Step 3:

    If the problem persists, I recommend that you temporarily disable the security software and firewall in the security software on the computer and check.

    Make sure that you enable the security software on the computer.

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you create a new user profile on the computer and check because this could be a problem with the profile of the user.

    Check out the link to correct the corrupted profile: difficulty a user profile is corrupted:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-XM/windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

  • My screen keeps dimming every few seconds, even if I changed the settings and saved!

    Hi I have Windows 7 and I have passed to the control panel and changed the settings for power. I got my high-performance switch mode, changed the settings so that it only fades every 10 minutes and saved. However, my computer keeps dimming of the screen at very low about every 7 seconds! I have to make it brighter, but it fades again! Sometimes it fades it right after she cheer up! I even tried to make a personalized plan, but it did not work. What can I do to make the screen stop all seconds dimming! I've tried everything!

    You are using a laptop computer monitor or a desktop monitor / external?  This is much like a monitor that has its own management food or, as with many TVs, the ability to change the brightness in response to changes in ambient light levels.

  • Why my laptop Windows 7 same dim so I changed the settings?

    Hello. I use a laptop ASUS Eee PC with Windows 7 and I noticed a problem that I can't solve. I decided to change my settings to allow my laptop ever less bright and put into hibernation. However, it fades little matter what I try. I went to power settings to set all the parameters brightness and all say 'never '. I already searched the Internet for alternatives and found that it could be the Adaptive brightness. However, when I went to the power settings advanced and looked into the display list where the Adaptive brightness setting should be, he was not there. No option to disable the Adaptive brightness. Even if all my settings are confirmed NEVER to cloud my screen it still happens. I found another way to disable this feature and it is through services.msc. I have disabled the function of Adaptive brightness, but without success. Then I found yet another way to open the Intel Graphics Control Panel. I put the settings to use the high performance and never dim. Once again, without success. My screen turns off every 30 seconds that it is not in use. Can you please tell me what could be the cause of the problem? I have searched with the search terms different and no success. I really want my screen to stay alive, no matter what. What else could be the problem?

    Paquito,

    1, 2 of these results, I don't think that your computer screen has Adaptive brightness.  The subject is a Kipper.

    3 I used a path of the folder of the example.  I don't know the path to your own office.  "Type in this [but substitute a folder path of your own to a convenient location], and then press enter powercfg - qh > D:\Desktop\ThisPowerPlan.txt"replace D:\Desktop with something like C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Desktop or practice any other path to any folder on your computer. "  (You can show that it was the only problem involved by entering just powercfg - qh as this will show you the long results lists [too fast to read] so that you know the basic command works.})

    3 I think that when you look at the results text file, you will have the same values that my computer, therefore demonstrate more that your computer screen did not display adaptive capabilities.

    4 it is possible that you will get the same results for the Dim display settings than me or you could get zero who indicates that there is always a delay of graduation [this seems to indicate that the system is somehow not getting the power plan settings that you have entered in the Control Panel, power management].  If so, copy & post back the same vein I posted in my para 4 above.

  • How to change the settings for the taskbar in Windows 7.

    Anyone know if its possible to change the settings for the taskbar for the other windows or games can cover or be on top of the taskbar. I have my taskbar set to the top of the screen and when I start Flight Simulator Microsoft in full-screen or 1920 x 1080, he fills the entire screen except the upper part which is the bar of tasks, and because of this the windows sim who loses more space and shows its own menu with windows that... yet once loses more than space. The vertical extent of real world it takes away 1 inch of space on the screen that I find pretty ridiculous. These two programs are both manufactured by Microsoft, in my opinion, that they must work with each other, so I hope that im missing something in 2015?

    Thank you all

    Win 7 64

    AMD 955

    NVIDIA 460se

    Edit: Auto Hide on the top is not a solution but a miserable boring frustration.

    (Taskbar + tabs/url/search/minimize/output = someone must die)

    Thank you program is in windowed mode full-screen because of the taskbar.

    * See below screenshot of restoration

    for everyone who has this problem, I found a solution!

    Download rammichael.com/7-bar of tasks-tweaker

    Right click on the bar tasks once run-> advanced-> click disable_topmost options->, icon 7TT

    Enter 2 (starting from 0)-> click on apply and ok

    * Note that the program must execute to the difficulty of working so defined to run at startup during installation

    This program does a lot of things, but this will allow your taskbar to stay in place and allow it to be covered by windows.

    I get this error: "firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424"when I try to turn on the Windows Firewall (Windows 7).  I am also unable to start my computer in safe mode.  My computer has been infected by the virus 'Win 7 Security 2012', which is what caused this damage to my system.  The virus also seems to have removed all the system restore points before the infection!  I believe that I have the virus completely deleted.  I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Kapersky Virus Removal Tool, antivirus Ati Avira (anti-virus program I was running when my computer has been infected by the virus) & Microsoft Security Essentials.  I ran the Scan SFC, a tool for emergency response Microsoft Support, Microsoft FixIt, ComboFix, & Tweaking.com Windows Repair all-in-One.  Repair Windows Tweaking.com seems to be turned Action Center back, where I now get a message that: "Windows Defender is turned off" & it does not seem to recognize MSE as my anti-virus program.  I need to know how to get Windows Firewall works again & get Action Center working properly again.  My computer has a partition with my Windows Recovery on it, but since I can't start in safe mode, I can not also start the restore partition to do a "repair" install, or even restore to factory settings!  Can anyone help?

    Also, when I use a search engine on internet, I get re-directed to a site that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the result of the research, and I click on... I am not that so that is proof that the virus is not COMPLETELY gone or not.
