Appearance settings somehow changed automatically to windows classic and all the vista and aero options are there, but seen as a black screen and when applied, nothing changes. I would appreciate if someone could tell me what is happening and how to fix it. Thank you.

  • Cannot print through USB on Windows 8 router, but can through windows 7 and Vista

    Problem:

    I have a printer that works for both computers windows 7 and vista.  I have two computers windows 8 that do not work.
    Material:
    laptop Toshiba P50 brand new.
    Router Asus RT - N16 rooted with the TomatoUSB firmware.
    Printer/scanner color Samsung CLX-3180.
    Symptoms:
    I can get the printer to operate if connected directly via USB.  The new Samsung universal of the generic drivers work.
    Even the driver connected via TCP/IP causes the printer to beep and the power wheels to run but nothing comes out.  It looks like windows and the printer think print things.
    What I've tried so far:
    Uninstalled all printer drivers and ports.  Then reinstalled with fresh downloaded drivers.  I had to erase the registry because pilots and port were considered to be in use.
    I have disabled the firewall without result.

    I fixed it finally I think.

    Here's what I did.
    -Deleted all drivers in the system.  (1) remove the 2 devices) remove the driver through "(propriétés dele de serveur d'impression 3) delete all created ports through"the print server properties""
    -Download the new drivers. type 64-bit
    -printer installed using Samsung universal driver 2 and player USB connection as required by the manufacture.
    -installed the TCP/IP port using the TomatoUSB facility and former driver of windows 7.  (wrong system to not check to see if the printer is online)  The pilot was CLX-3180
    -Changed the driver properties Advanced printer to "Sansung Universal Driver 2" tab
    -Change of printer model for Samsung CLX-3180 in the printer - Options tab of the device properties.
    -L' printer select clicked the button when changing the port.  Don't know what it does.

    Hi, CPC,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
     
    You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
     
    You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.

  • Windows 7 and vista limit the number of files to select and print or open to 15. Need a work around to push this limit.

    Windows 7 (and Vista) when you select more than 15 files in Explorer, the 'Print' and 'Open' selections under the 'File' menu disappear.  This is very annoying, because I work with a lot of text files and selecting them 15 at once is heavy and prone to errors.  I need a work around to raise this limit to about 60.  I never had no problem to do under XP or previous editions of windows.  I have a fast computer or memory but windows 7 won't let me use it: it of like buying a ferrari and the merchant sends a padlock on the accelerator and said "...". you will son... This is for your own safety! "It's very frustrating.

    Maybe, it's a limitation of the program that you use to open the files. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery, and even if I select more than 500 files at the same time, the open and print commands can be used.

    By the way: the number of places of a Ferrari is very limited. ;-)

  • Windows XP and Vista does support Multi processors

    Hello

    Could someone tell me if material motherboards today multiprocessor support Windows XP and the same for Windows Vista?  If yes would someone also indicate which version of Windows XP and Vista no it support and even for 32/64-bit options? I read that you need Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today? Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance

    Victor

    If the material is supported on a given operating system is determined by the manufacturer equipment.  If they support a given operating system, then you are good to go.  If they do not, things will be less a lot rougher.

    However, as a general rule, the professional level of the Windows operating systems support multiple processors if that is your only concern.  I hope you understand the difference between multiple processors and multiple cores.  :-)

    Answers to your, "you must have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today?  Is this correct? "query is, 'no, No '.

    For Windows Vista (I want to jump, if I thought to upgrade):
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-hardware/multi-core-processor-and-multiprocessor-limit-for/d00780f8-76e8-4AF6-AA49-e64a7007c17f

    In regard to the 64-bit or 32 - bit - still once it comes down to the support of manufacturer of material for a given operating system * and * the said OS architecture.

    It of for homework, isn't it?

  • Sharable desktop to any number (say up to 50) of users in Windows XP and Vista when all are connected to a wireless ad-hoc network? Or is there a limit on the number of users that can be shared? ___Thanks

    Need to have this configuration in a classroom environment.

    I don't know what you mean when you ask a desktop or sharing users.

    A network computer can share files and printers with other computers, but there are limits that might make it unusable for you.  Windows XP and Vista allow 5 or 10 concurrent connections by other computers, depending on the version.

    You need an operating system of Windows Server or Linux server to allow for more concurrent connections to shared files and printers.

    I also fear that an ad - hoc network does not work well with 50 computers.

  • 10 free of charge during the first year Windows update - include Windows XP and Vista?

    Hello

    I read in the press last week that Microsoft will offer a free upgrade of Windows 10 for users of Windows 7 and 8 for a period of one year after its initial launch.  My question is Microsoft will expand the offering to users of Windows XP and Vista?

    As long as the material can cope with the new operating system - and it seems to be able to scale up to a certain extent - surely, it would be more beneficial to all parties that as many possible Windows users get the new standard rather than race systems not supported / dangerous or ineffective.

    I know several users who are quite happy with their existing equipment, but are showing more concern with the lack of support from their systems and they cannot afford to upgrade their hardware right now.  There are also many companies who do not want the additional costs of purchasing new computers if its computers are fit - for-purpose (except for the lack of OS support...).

    If the grand design is to get Windows facilities as 10 in the first year, then it would seem preferable to offer either to these users:

    (a) a free upgrade like any other Windows user

    (b) a small fee upgrade - say £10 - get to 10 Windows

    Right now, this offer is only available for Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 users, but if you migrate your installation of Windows XP now to preview Windows 10, you will receive the promotion.

    Connect the USB microphone (to aft port on a desktop computer, any port for laptop). Then right click on speaker icon lower right task bar. Click recording devices. Highlight the USB microphone. Speak into the microphone. Green bars should move up and down like you're talking about. If they do not, click Properties and then the levels tab level slider move to 100%, click OK and test speaking into the microphone again to see if green bars go up and down. If they don't, try a different USB port.

    For the analog microphone test the same way. Use a Mic back in port, not one alone on the front or on a monitor.

    Microphone work, go into Control Panel, speech recognition, and microphone Set prior to the formation of WSR (Windows speech recognition).

When I install after installing graphics driver card it says "Error code: 0 x 000000103 ' a few days it worked fine without any errors. But since yesterday, I am facing the problem. I tried to install it on safe mode and uninstalled the driver of HD by default. Then it installs perfectly but I can't hear any sound and when I start my PC the default driver installs automatically. Help, please! What can I do? This problem does not persist in windows xp.

    3. in the run window, type devmgmt.msc

    4. in the search for a Device Manager window for sound and display
