• Windows 7 won't let me change the settings to import images

  Hello
  I hope someone can help with this one!

  When I try to import images using Auto play "Import pictures and videos using windows" dialogue opens that gives me the choice of 'Mark' photos. The import settings"(in blue) shows also available to change the import settings but when I click it nothing happens? Out of curiosity I went to profiles, my partner profile has attempted to do the same thing and when I clicked on the "import setting" a new dialog box open for inviting me to make changes, I tried. So my question is:

  Why does Windows 7 let me not change my own profile import settings, and how do I reset the import settings?
  I have searched questions and knowledge base but cannot find an answer to my specific problem.
  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello

  I suggest to create a new user account and check. If it works in a new user account, then probably your user account have been damaged and would need a fix.

  Create a user profile.

  Dolphin unfortunately side-load requires an outdated version of Flash Player, which leaves you exposed to a few years worth of lack of security patches.

• I sent a song to someone in a different country and it won't let me change the recipient, even if she has not been redeemed yet.

  I sent a song to one of my friends who live in Canada, while I'm in the United States and I didn't know that it wasn't going to work. She was not able to buy since she lives outside the United States, but it won't let me change the recipient. Is it possible that I can change the recipient or even recover my $1.29? Thank you.

• iTunes will not take my Danish credit card and does not leave my country to change since I live in Spain. So I can't enter my Spanish credit card because it won't let me change the country before giving another card... I don't know what to do?

  I recently moved to Spain, but I'm not allowed to type in my Spanish credit card because it won't let me change the country. It keeps telling me that I have to put in a card that works. But as soon as I put in my Danish credit card, it will not accept it? I have to money to iTunes, then, what is the problem?

  What happens when you try to change your country on your account, you follow these instructions: change your iTunes Store country or region - Apple Support ? While in Spain, you can only use the Spanish store, and you can use a card issued by a Spanish bank (and who is registered in the same name and address you put on your account)

• My computer won't let me change the setting of region DVD in the region 1 - I get a message saying that I need admin priviledge

  Hello

  (1) I wanted to play a UK DVD on my computer so I changed the region setting in properties in the United Kingdom (region 2)

  (2) it did not work

  (3) I tried to change my setting back to the United States, so I can play other DVDs (region 1)

  (4) it will not change (the "administrative privileges" message)

  (5) my computer doesn't read DVD

  Hi jeremyjones1960,

  1. How many times to change the region settings of the DVD drive on the computer?
  2. You are logged in Windows by using the administrator account?

  Check and make sure that you logged in to the administrator account and check if it helps.

  If you have changed the settings for region of the DVD player more than 5 times then you will not be able to change more.

• SOS - updates of Windows problem - won't let me change my settings to activate the automatic updates

  It is a nagging problem.  I tried to help and change a variety of things in my preferences - changed my profile/access etc.  I need a little help from someone.

  Note: my laptop is a new HP (2 months), I have recently updated to IE 8, I'm using Vista and it is a 32-bit system.  This cell phone belongs to me and is for use personally and in a home base business (so I'm a college professor).

  P.S. The HP Chat Support has not understood this.

  Can someone help me?

  Note: I am trying to solve this problem tonight, but I am not far away for awhile.

  It is probably easier than I think - but I have not had this problem before.

  Justin,

  Clean reboot didn't help.

  Question:
  I downloaded, a couple of weeks, a registry clean program AdAware and ran it... It was probably the time that feature automatic updates Windows Update stopped working.

  This is the problem and how to correct things now?  Should I reinstall my Windows Vista operating system or something?

  Please notify.

  Thank you

• my computer won't let me change the name of my images / files

  I race 2007 on my PC with windows XP, home when I try to rename my pictures or records what happens with if you go ahead and change the name of the folder/file/photo will be, how to fix it. Thank you

  Hi horseygal,

  I think that what is happening because you also delete the file from the file extension.

  For example, you have an image file named "image.jpg" and you rename to 'image' ".jpg" is deleted which means that the file will lose its connection with the program, which is designed to open it.

  You can hide the file extensions by:

  1. Select start > my computer
  2. click on tools > Folder Options
  3. go to the view tab and check "Hide extension for known file types".
  4. click on OK

• Then... Photoshop won't let you change the form inside a mask unrelated now?

  Anyone else having the problem of scaling a form inside a mask not linked?

  Before the update I could do without the mask. After the last update, it evolves the mask even without him being related.

  You can always push the autour images without changing the mask... but scaling scales the mask.

  Not that I can't get around that problem, but WTF.

  "FOR THE LOVE...". OF... GOD, LET JUST WIDE BOY SHAPE PRETTY ON THE INSIDE OF THE MASK! »

  -Chris Farley

  I can't repro this, but there are conditions. Steps to follow:

  • Create a document of any type.
  • Create a shape of any type by using the shape tools. Add a layer mask and he break the link.
  • Here is the conditional part: select one of the other tools (like the move tool). Target tile form. Try to turn the form using Ctrl/Cmd + T. The shape and the mask of her resize. This does not happen with other types of layer (as of rasterized images).

  The only way I could not repro is to date if I have a selected shape tool; so I'm able to transform as usual.

• CS6 Fireworks won't let me change the type of

  Long story short: until a few weeks ago, Fireworks CS6 worked fine on my iMac, with the rest of the CS6 (ID, PS, DW). The computer started having problems, and I discovered a bad RAM Board which was replaced. So I decided to wipe the drive and do a fresh reinstall of the OS and all software. No problems.

  Except this one major: CS6 Fireworks no longer allows me to use the text tool. Try to select an area of existing text, or try to create a new text box results in a spinning beachball.

  I use Linotype FontExplorer X. Thinking that it might be a problem with a glitch somewhere in the libraries of fonts (which I had copied on the disc clone I did before erasing), I served them ALL and spent two hours to recreate them from scratch. Then in FW expecting it to work. No change: spinning beachball.

  I deleted and re-installed FW completely. No change: spinning beachball.

  I went to use FW CS5.1 and it let me not again change the text. Hooray, a temporary solution at least stay productive. However the second time, I went to FW CS5.1, exactly the same problem that manifests itself. Spinning beachball.

  I deleted my files preferably of the fireworks at the root level. No change: spinning beachball.

  I'm at my wits end. I have work to do! How can I fix it?

  iMac (mid-2011) 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM, OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8

  I solved the problem.

  It cost me money, but I've updated my FontExplorerX software to the current version. Now the Fireworks text tool works reliably again.

  I don't know why it was necessary, because the previous version of FontExplorerX did the job well enough, and Fireworks has never had a problem with it before. But after the download, the question which is stopped, so I guess that the upgrade process must be tweaked in the right place in my system to get the FW to replay nice.

  Hi Fabrax,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Be you please perform a clean boot on your system to see if that helps to clarify the freezing issue that you are experiencing?

  Here are the steps on how to perform a clean boot on your system:

  First step: perform a clean boot

  1. sign your computer with an administrator account.

  2. click on start.

  3. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  4. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  5. in the general tab, click Selective startup, and then click to clear the check box load startup items.

  6. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

  * NOTE: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  7. click OK and then click on restart.

  Second step: enable half the services

  1. start the System Configuration utility. Refer to the steps above if you need to see how to do this.

  2. click on the Services tab and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.

  3 click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  4. click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 3: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In the second step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to sixth step. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: enable half of the startup items

  Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  Click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 5: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In the fourth step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to sixth step.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat the first stage and the second stage without selecting the skin all the box Microsoft services at every step.

  Step 6: resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: solve the problem

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start

  2. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  3. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  4. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  5. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Here is the KB article that came as follows:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  After running the clean boot please post back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem or not, so that we can help you if necessary. After you run the startup clean please try and change automatic updating settings again and see if you are still having the same problem. Robyn

• I have a file corrupted XP and it won't let me change the virtual memory settings. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Gary

  There is a light at the end of the tunnel...

  If you search your system for the file, maybe you find because as your AV software may be quarantined / deleted the file, but given that the AV software was not sure about the startup item, she let alone... pointing to a file that does not exist, where the error.  These things you have trouble hand.

  Have you looked on the "all" tab?  There is also a search option in the toolbar.

  I have to find something in the registry that appear in Autoruns at one time or another or I would not have said in my notes.

  There are no cancellations or exit without save in the registry so editor before making any changes to your registry, save it with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  To perform a search in the registry, matches my computer upstairs, change it, find.  If that can't find, drill down and find the offending entry in the Local computer or the sections of the current user:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

  Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run

  Right click and you can choose to export this key to record off somewhere, then delete it.

  If you don't know what to do, ask.

  Here are a few popular backup and imaging software (with the permission of the user PML) who might be attractive (use Google to find them):

  Acronis
  Macrium Reflect
  Paragon backup and restore
  DriveImageXML

  Some disk cloning ideas of software for you to Google (some new hard drives come with software cloning):

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper

• I can't delete a folder because I do not have the permission, but I am the administrator. It doesn't let me change the permissions. Help?

  First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I had no idea what section to post this in.
  Today, I was using a program for the 'Minecraft' game called MultiMC and removing files that it created I don't have anymore, I came across a folder, I could not open, delete, or do something with. When I try to open it it says ' (place) is not accessible. Access is denied. " When I try to remove it, he said ' you must be authorized to perform this action. You need computer administrator permissions to change this folder ' (though, I'm the administrator - only account on the computer). It also gives me 'Retry' and the options to cancel, nor necessary. On properties it says "Unable to display current owner" and won't let me change the owner, even to the administrator. The file is 0 bytes in size, but I want to get rid of because I might want to remove the folder that it is in the future, besides I don't know if it's a virus or whatever it is. Please can someone help.
