  If the scan comes back clean, so I recommend doing a System File Checker too l to analyze your OS system files.

  To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
  2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

  Hope this information helped!

• Gadgets for Windows Sidebar does not display correctly

  Hello
  I just installed a new antivirus-Sophos which automatically uninstalled my previous installation of McAfee that came with my Dell laptop.
  Am running Vista SP2 32 bit, Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, @2 GHz T6400.
  After installing antivirus and subsequent reboot, my sidebar is displayed and so do the gadgets, but they are all "corrupt" and not displaying correctly. For example, the clock is dark, and change the opacity does not allow me to see the time. Calendar, notes, and UC only appear as a vertical white line. None of them appears correctly.
  Help, please.

• Windows Live Mail desktop is not displayed correctly

  When I use the Windows Live Mail program on my computer, it does not display clear fonts.

  It is connect to my outlook account.

  The icons of menu items at the top and the reading Committee are crystal clear and sharp; but the Panel of the Inbox, calendar Panel and any other Panel I open it police washes out and falling out after I go over it. I can't read at all.

  

  It looks like a map display to work setting. If you have a graphics ATI/AMD with CCC, disable morphological filtering or morphological anti-aliasing - probably in the games of the CCC section.

• Windows XP does not display the available wireless connections

  I formatted my hard drive and created two partitions. Then I installed Windows XP in one of them and Vista in the other. Then only under Vista the network card works and I see all kinds of connections available. Where, in Win XP it will not display the available wireless connections. I have tried everything to try to activate my net work card but can't find a way to do it. Maybe Win XP a clean installation driver missing. Does anyone have any ideas? I have studied all the forums and that you can't find the answer.

  Thanks for all the ideas that I could research.

  Thanks, missing the driver for the Dell Wireless card. He wasn't on resettlement drive.

• Windows 8 does not display Chinese file / folder names correctly

  I just bought a Lenono IdeaPad Yoga 13, with Windows 8 installed.

  I added Chinese (Simplified) language and also downloaded the Chinese fonts. I can view and write Chinese in e-mails and word files, etc.
  However, the folder names and file names, if in Chinese, do not display correctly. (only display boxes of square / rectangular). I have read some threads in the forum, but could not find answers that seem to work for me.
  Help!?

  Hi Manu:

  Thanks for your quick response.
  But before I could try your suggestions, last night when I turned on my laptop, the computer setting has changed in Chinese. Any control selections, e.g. under the charms, such as settings, Control Panel,... everything is displayed in Chinese.
  While this works for me, since I can read Chinese and English, it feels weird, because I'm in the United States, and my everyday language is English.
  I don't know how it happened and how to revert to English. I change not all parameters before (except Chinese addition as 2nd choice of language).
  When I check the language and region settings, my position is still US showing (as current residence). English is always my first choice of language.
  The language of choice of the non-unicode program was "English". I changed it in Chinese (Simplified) as you suggest.
  Help?

• I am trying to add my Linux netbook to my sync account, but both my windows computers will not display the "Add Device" button in one of the sync management screens

  I'm trying a new version of Linux on a net book I use to play with non windows OS. In the process of setting up the new OS install I wanted to make my Firefox account set up so that I didn't have to spend a lot of time working on something. I'm no stranger to sync of browser and several of my computers and tablets with a number of different OS tied to the account with little difficulty in including the Firefox of the previous generation of Linux that has been on the net accountant. The problem is now that on both my computers in the main, a windows 7 and a desktop tablet windows 8.1, both running the latest Firefox, I am unable to find the 'Add a device' button in the synchronization of the management screens. This includes browsers built in display options as well as the Firefox manage account page. The first gives me options to disconnect the account, go to the maintenance screen, several checkboxes that you can synchronize to the device name. The management, after the login screen, don't give me options for the disconnect, change password and delete the account. Any help to understand why the add device button seems to be missing from these two devices would be greatly appreciated.

  Please check the version of your Installation of Firefox. (can be found by clicking on the main menu, or by clicking or hovering the cursor over the help button, and then click about firefox in the submenu). According to since how long you configured synchronization you can still use the old version of sync. Firefox 29 has introduced a new (and I would add a lot less tedious) version of sync. See this Mozilla support article for more information on the upgrade of your sync to the new version.
