• Windows Vista does not work with modem wireless broadband

  I saw no answer to this problem.  Can anyone help?

  Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G.  The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless.  Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.

  Summary:
  Vista / Netgear wired - work
  Vista / Netgear wireless - does not work
  XP / Netgear wireless - work

  I went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop.  I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft.  I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista.  Any ideas?

• Windows 8 does not work with wtvconverter.exe

  Using Windows 7 I record radio and TV using Microsoft Media Center, right-click on the files and convert them to the ".dvr-ms", which I can then play on my WD TV Media Streamer.

  Unfortunately on Windows 8 it does not.

  Firstlt option does not exist in the context menu, so I tried from the command line:

  c:\Windows\ehome>CD /d c:\windows\ehome
  wtvconverter ' c:\WTVS\myfile.wtv ' /showUI ' G:\Ready for WDTV\myfile.dvr - ms»»»
  
  This returns the error: "WTV Converter cannot convert the .wtv file to .dvr-ms format because the content is not compatible with the dvr-ms file format."

  • I get the same error message for files saved in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
  • The files on Windows 8 can still be converted on an old machine of Windows 7.

  If it certainly seems to be a problem with Windows 8; What can I do to fix?

  Thank you

  Stewart

  I just got this work and here is how.

  If you can't find the option "convert dvr - ms" in your context menu, try the 'Windows Media Center' setting as the default program to open files .wtv, instead of 'Windows Media Player', which is the default value. After changing the program by default, you will see the option that you are familiar with.

  Now if again, it does not work and informs you of the error message "WTV converter cannot convert a .wtv file format .drv-ms because the content is not compatible with the dvr - ms file format", it is probably because you have performed an upgrade to Windows 8 rather than a clean install. To resolve this problem, open Task Scheduler and find a spot called "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" under "Task Scheduler Library/Microsoft/Windows/Media Center. Run this task by right-clicking on it and selecting 'run '. You can receive strange error messages as request to send error reports so that the task is running, but you can just ignore them all. The task will not stop by itself, so you should end it manaully when you find your hard drive, be quiet. Now open Media Center, and they will tell you that some problems have been detected and you will need to set up everything again. After setting up television signals and stuff like that, you find the right click conversion function works again. Just be aware that you will lose all your recording schedules or other parameters during the recovery process, then you might need to plan before you try this.

• Speech recognition in Windows 7 does not work with several sentences

  I use speech recognition with Windows 7 and Word 2010. In the past, it worked fine, but now it has developed several questions:

  1. When I say 'OK _', he responds with "this command is not available now.
  2. When I insert a period at the end of a sentence, it puts a space between the last word and the period.
  3. When I say "He went out", he responds with "this command is not available now.

  The only change I made is the upgrade to Office 2010, but I have Office 2010 on my laptop and it works fine there.

  Is there a way to fix the voice recognition program?

  I'm having the same problem.  Windows Speech recognition (WSR) IS NOT playing well with Office 2010.  A very disappointing setback because it appears to praise them to the improvement of the accessibility features THAT WSR will not dictate in Word 2010 without having to accept the text in the window on the other.  Very slow process is the result of the incompatibility and effectively stops to dictate.  :-(

  I have exactly the same problem, Word 2010 (32 bit on 64 bit systems) leaves me only the replacement window allows you to dictate text and many features learned during the training now work well in this mode.

  It really does not need speech recognition. However, there is no problem using the dictation in Internet Explore.

  To fix this (remove the dialog box) right-click on the translation of the speech tool, then go to options, then uncheck the "enable dictation Notepad '.

• Windows Defender does not work with Microsoft Security Essentials

  I just want to confirm I'm sure I see Windows Defender listed on the site alongside the Microsoft Security Essentials in a list of items to choose from - if we choose security while we can not run the Defender is that correct? Vista runs on this toshiba that has been in place. Windows Defender is not running but essentials runs with full daily verified updates scans and other readers of both records - the concern, it is that be enough security we should do other things regarding the last blackened on computers, we have seen happening with friends and the fake software updates We have seen with the neighbors not accepting real software, they thought were updated - but in the end a fake. They were running microsoft security databases, but didn't yet these things happen - no pleasure with the laptop still being down in a different place/city. Any info would be nice to hear, clear terms, just trying to help people close to home and at a distance from time to time thanks Jen

  I'll simplify the answer...

  1 Microsoft Security Essentials has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders only create conflicts.  MSE will stop Windows Defender.

  2. no security program is sufficient for protection. Be careful, to surfing and what to download.

  3. you can install "we demand" programs such as Spybot Search Destry and Malwarebytes. They do not run until you 'open '.
  I have Avast Home Edition for "real-time" protection, and I have Spybot Search and Destroy more Malwarebytes.

  For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• Homepage of PHP does not work in Google Chrome, but works well in Firefox

  When you type the name of my sites, mtwatersheds.org, it appears in firefox, but the background image is not displayed in chrome. When I click on the home button, the address turns to mtwatersheds.org/index.php and everything seems as it did in Firefox. Can I do something to change this, or I have to include a new file for the homepage in chrome?

  Thank you for your time.

  It in fact does not in Firefox either. I suspect that you have a different default page. If I compare the source between the default page and index.php there is differerent. The image has a.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
