    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!

    Hello

    Check this location of registry for Upper and Lower filters...

    They will appear on the right after clicking on the location of Reg...

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

    Remove all entries found perhaps restore your disk, but can also cause something to stop working...

    Maybe you can identify the program causing the problem with the name of the filter and update...

    An example of this is iTunes... It uses a "GEAR" driver that can cause problems...

    Install the most recent usually solves the problem...

    I followed instructions tp uninstall IE 10 and internet now will not work.  How to return to IE 9?

    Hello
    What I summarize your question is: you have installed IE 10 and you want to restore to IE 9.
    Since you are using IE 9 and 10 of IE, I can assume that you use Windows Vista or Windows 7.
    To restore IE 9 return, you must follow these steps:
    1 - click Start  
    2 - Goto Control Panel
    3 - find Windows Update, click
    4 in the lower left corner you can see the updates installed, click
    5 - search for Windows Internet Explorer 10
    6. right-click on it and select Uninstall
    7. you're done here,  a system reboot may be necessary.
    Hope this helps, let me know if the problem persists.

    FN F6 and F7 for less bright and shiny LCD will not work with XP on A305-S6845

    C2D t8100, chipset intel, no normal fn keys FN + F5 doesn't seem to operate 'naturally', as do some others that I don't use, but the idea that I spent 8 hours to find all the xp drivers for this thing and can NOT dim my lcd...! ******ed...!!!

    The Toshiba REAL will raise your hand... Please?

    you KNOW millions are without downgrading from vista to xp, GIVE US THE DRIVERS...!

    I had to just to get the rest, scout intel boooted to viata while just to get the wifi, then start on xp, install the wifi, then had to get drivermax (amazing) to find all the drivers

    but no one knows where the FN drivers (no pun intended...)!

    None of the drivers Vista FN will get them to work with XP

    XP drivers for other models will not be installed on this model

    It comes from * ed

    1200 for a machine that cannot dim the lcd...!

    It is unlinke toshiba, how long could possibly take something for xp on to the A305 recompile!

    If someone has an A305 with c2d, get drivermax, they have now all other drivers of my job of paving 99.999% perfect...

    I will also publish on 4shared.com in a massive zip...

    Ok

    Send me a fix...!

    (too late for a refund...!)

    TOSHIBA! everything I own is TOSHIBA... !!! three laptops from toshiba... just give my xp for my A305 drivers...!

    If you come from the United States, I'm afraid, you're on the wrong place. Try to post the same thing on http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1 it's US forum.

    Here are mostly from Europe and Toshiba Europe has nothing to do with Toshiba WE. The company, but may be different marketing strategy and support.
    Maybe you'll find people with the same opinion.

    > 1200 for a machine that cannot dim the lcd...!
    I take you seriously with your opinion, but after reading this, I think that this comment has nothing to do with reality. Recovery of installation image and you'll have the complete functionality for laptop. You have the stick of Windows Vista on your laptop?

    My Roxio VHS TO DVD movie editing program has worked on my laptop Toshiba Windows 7 system before I reformatted.  Now when I open Roxio it changes the screen resolution of 256 colors at a very low resolution b and the program will not work.  When I close the program Roxio the resolution of the screen reverts back to 256 colors.  Control of program compatibility tells that it's incompatible, but the program worked on my system before I reformatted.

  • "Heroes of Might and Magic V" will not work

    Hello, I have recently updated to Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7 and now my game "Heroes of Might and Magic V" (by Ubisoft) will not work. It worked fine in Windows XP, but now when I try to start the game, I get an error message saying that the program has encountered a problem and needs to close. Why does not the game works? I tried to run in Compatibility Mode, but nothing helped. Nothing about what Windows 7 tent will not work. I ran the program compatibility problems and may not solve my problem. Please help me.

    Necropaxx,
    For any software that you plan to install with Windows 7, you can check the compatibility here: Windows 7 Compatibility Center

    It seems that Heroes of Might and Magic V is always tested with the proponent to ensure compatibility.  You can try running it in compatibility mode.  This link will give instructions about this:make programs run on Windows 7

  • Upcoming games with Windows 7 will not work on Presario SR1020NX. Upgrade Advisor said that W7 would work with the exception of the Aero

    W7 Upgrade Advisor said it would work with the exception of Windows Aero.  When the games to try to come with W7 get window 'game running in software rendering... '. Hardware acceleration disabled or not supported by the video card driver"games will not work. A check says last drivers are installed.  Tried to reinstall WXP in separeat partition to see if would work like that but will not because most recent W7.

    I suggest that you use XP personally gave a computer which is so old.

    If you have a computer with XP (3 + years) and have not changed at least two of these things (CPU, RAM, video card), you should probably stick with XP. Not worth the headache of praying that things work with a material more old which probably is no longer supported on the new OS.
    Usually, people that the computer was shipped with Vista 1, 2 or less it several years ago can be upgraded to 7 without too much trouble if it was a mid-range machine.

    In addition, it seems that Windows is not recognizing your graphics card. It looks like (http://www99.shopping.com/xPO-Hewlett-Packard-SR1020NX-CEL2-8-512-80-COM-XPH) you have an Intel Extreme graphics card. However, nothing about it is extreme. Since it is an extreme Intel card I guess Windows Update should find the drivers for you, but it is not then maybe the video card is just too outdated for 7? I'm not sure.

    Moreover, I wouldn't worry much about the lack of updates for XP right now. If ever you encounter more money then get the new computer with 7 on it, but at this time I suggest you stay on XP if your hardware and software actually works and that is more important than a few features of 7.

  • Microsoft Update will not work

    Microsoft Update will not run through Internet Explorer.

    I seem to encounter two different errors and there seems to be no trend about which error appears where or when or why.

    One is 0x800A138F: the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.

    I don't remember exactly what it was or said, but it was similar.

    I tried the solutions so far:

    -restart the computer, internet, etc.

    -added the Windows Update and Microsoft Update for Trusted Sites (I did years ago)

    -reset of Trusted Sites as the Internet zone settings

    -connected Microsoft Fix - It here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/en-us

    -a attempted to run the windowsupdate.diagcab from here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/windows-update-issues?wa=wsignin1.0

    As with many other users of this forum, I can't run this .diagcab file. Looking at the many messages on this file, no one has yet solved anything. It seems that Microsoft has yet to recognize or acknowledge that they're providing a tool that is unusable. I hope I've provided enough information to lead to a resolution. I also sent a report through the Fix - It tool when it has not changed anything.

    Hello

    Please go to the Microsoft Community Forums.
     
    You did changes to the computer before the show?
     
    I suggest to refer to the links and follow the steps in the articles:
    Error message when you search for updates on the Windows Update site: "0X800A138F: there are no updates available at this time."
    WARNING: Reset Internet Explorer settings can reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings.
    Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.
     
    I hope this helps.
