OK is the default.

If your on a Pre-Vista Version of windows, you can also use Alt+O to "CLICK" the OK button.Thank you much for the information, I will try to REMEMBER that one. Thank you much for your time. That game also took away the cursor and took me to a page to get an up date. I could not use it because of no cursor and the arrow keys didn't work. Is there a work AROUND to get the up date?

6102.	Solve : Can't See CD/DVD Drives?
Answer» I just upgraded to W7. It all WENT well but now I noticed I can't see my disk drives when I go into "COMPUTER". It lists all my hard drives/partitions but not disk drives. Is there some where else I should be looking for them?Open device manager. Any errors? Look in Disk Management - are the drives there?One thing I just noticed, I had Windows Explorer open when I put a CD in and the drive appeared. I GUESS it doesn't show up until in USE. But that makes it hard to burn a CD unless I put the blank CD in first then drag the files to it. I'll have to check that out.Yep that worked. I put a blank CD in the drive to save some W7 updates and the drive appeared and I burned the files with no problems.

6103.	Solve : Vist 7/Acrobat reader 9.3?
Answer» Hi, On my laptop, i have v7. I have been TRYING to download acrobat reader 9.3, but the download STOPS at 7/12% with the message network connection failed. What do I have to do? thanks airEither try to download it from another site or try again another time. It has NOTHING to do with the OS.What is "VIST 7"? There's no such thing as "acrobat reader 9.3". There is Acrobat 9.3, and Adobe Reader 9.3. Reference: Adobe Releases 9.3 for Adobe Reader and Acrobat thanks Allan. Download Adobe Reader 9.3 (includes Acrobat.com on Adobe AIR). Another option is to download the full installer: http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_reader/ http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Adobe-Reader-Download-2572.htmlTry Foxit...smaller...and FREE.That, too. However, I've had issue with Foxit opening up certain PDFs (particularly PDFs of Visio drawings)...thanks. air

6106.	Solve : Lost H/drive space....?
Answer» Hi folks I have just lost about 4Gb of hard-drive space and I don't know why! Just prior to this I had burned a DVD using Nero 7 Startsmart. The FILE copied where AVI & Nero recode files. I'd burned them as Data files as nero wouldn't let me copy them 'as they were' 5 onto one 4.7G DVDR. Being new to Nero (and computing generally) I am still finding out what it Will do. I realised from this that nero apparently recodes AVI files to normal dvd file to copy to a 4.7G disc. I started to copy one of these movies to a disc for a friend but wanted to WATCH another movie that was on my H/drive. The system crashed and I ABORTED the burn process. It was after watching my movie that I noticed I was about 4G down on free space. This is annoying as there is now only about 2G left on my D drive. I've tried to find the offending data files but without success. Can ANYONE give me any LEADS to regain my lost 4G of free space? No need to double Post... Someone will be along shortly See your other Thread for replies. Topic Closed.

6109.	Solve : HDD with Vista installed??
Answer» To UPDATE you all, I decided to put it in my ext.USB HDD case to explore it. First it was not recognised then Win asked if I wanted to 'Check disc & repair any bad sectors' so I did. This could not be carried out,after waiting 2 hours, then the result 'Too many bad sectors' I then d/loaded WDs diagnostic tool, with the same result. In for a penny etc, I decided to 'Write '0's to it..... Now nothing at all 'Dead!' So it is now consigned to the bin! You LIVE & learn... especially by your mistakes ie, 'Don't buy used HDDS'. Just an observation here, I have noticed new IDE/Pata, HDDs are much more EXPENSIVE now than they were, up to double the price of SATA drives, anyone know why? Anyway, thanks for all the help, Guys. BEST Wishes AlexmaWhen I tried to buy some after a power supply failure destroyed 3 of mine, the store said they are not the current technology and not stocked anymore. They had to call a few of their other locations to find them for me. And, yes, I did have to pay more for them than the price of a SATA drive. You can still find bargains on them at places like http://www.surpluscomputers.com

6110.	Solve : Re. Lost H/drive space.......C drive Not D drive!?
Answer» Hi folks I have just lost about 4Gb of hard-drive space and I don't know why! Just prior to this I had burned a DVD using Nero 7 Startsmart. The file copied where AVI & Nero recode files. I'd burned them as DATA files as nero wouldn't let me copy them 'as they were' 5 onto one 4.7G DVDR. Being new to Nero (and computing generally) I am still finding out what it Will do. I realised from this that nero apparently recodes AVI files to normal dvd file to copy to a 4.7G disc. I started to copy one of these movies to a disc for a friend but wanted to watch another movie that was on my H/drive. The system crashed and I aborted the burn process. It was after watching my movie that I noticed I was about 4G down on free space. This is annoying as there is now only about 2G left on my C drive. I've TRIED to find the offending data files but WITHOUT success. Can anyone give me any leads to regain my lost 4G of free space? I think you answered your own question. Nero copies to the HDD before burning the DVD. Since your COMPUTER crashed before the burn operation was complete, Nero did not have a chance to delete the intermediate files or ask you if you wanted to delete them.

6115.	Solve : Microsoft... Anti Virus...?
Answer» MICROSOFT is OFFERING a free downloadable anti-virus program. Ok, has anybody here tried it yet? Any good?? How EFFECTIVE??? good or bad points?? If you mean microsoft SECURITY essentials,its a FIRST rate program,Thank you

6116.	Solve : Every time I open any web page I get "preparing to install" popup?
Answer» Any webpage I open, a window appears for a SECOND, telling me "preparing to install". It doesn't seem to be a problem, but this never happened in the past. I'm using internet explorer, and windows 7. I'm wondering why this is happening now, and how I can make it STOP. Any information greatly appreciated. You're probably INFECTED with a virus. Read through this and post the LOGS in the 'Computer Viruses and Spyware' board. Did you install any programs recently or follow any unknown links (particularly from MSN/Windows Live Messenger)? Good LUCK. - Dairyman

6117.	Solve : multiple monitor screens?
Answer» Is there a way to have 2 monitors displaying a DIFFERENT screen background at the same time on Windows 7 64bit o/sYes, but you need 3rd party program, like UltraMon.Quote from: Broni on February 10, 2010, 10:37:01 PM Yes, but you need 3rd party program, like UltraMon. Not necessarily. I have two monitors on my Win XP COMPUTER and I have different DESKTOP backgrounds on the two monitors. This is DONE using nVidia's software; of course, I have a nVidia video card. I BELIEVE this can be done with ATI video cards, also.

6119.	Solve : Do I have a problem with Superantispyware??
Answer» Hi - I run Superanti spyware every week or two. The last couple of times I ran it, it seemed strange. Thus - Memory items - scanned 595 - Detected 0 Registry items - scanned 5879 - Detected 0 File items - scanned 170257 - Detected 330 At this point the program has ran for 2 hours and it seems to be stuck in a loop. It is running but no more items are scanned because the number never changes. I let it run for 2 more hours but nothing else changed. The 330 threats found were adware tracking cookies. My question is: Is this normal OPERATION or is something wrong? I am running vista Home Basic 32 bit Thanks BobI was having similar problems. Note the name of the file that is being scanned when it hangs for a clue as to what is causing the problem. Also check your Process Manager CPU usage and see if another process is contending against SAS. Once I saw something that was rising and falling in COMPARISON to SAS, i.e., CPU usage was always 100%, so whenever SAS dropped some percentage points, the other process rose to pick up the slack so that CPU usage never dropped before 100%. I was able to use a Quick Scan to get the scan to complete. One item was detected and cleaned with this method. Then try a Complete Scan. You might try limiting it to Drive C: to start with. I was also able to get it past the sticking point with a Safe Mode scan. You can also try scanning with another product like MalwareBytes Anti-Malware first.jkolak - Thanks for the information. The next time I run my security I will try your suggestions. I'm also glad to know that I had a problem and it was not just my imagination. Thanks BobYou're welcome. Let us know how it works out.jkolak - Thanks to you I think everything is OK. I ran a quick scan. It ran for about an hour and found and removed 180 adware tracking cookies and said the scan was complete. Once in a while when I turn the computer on it COMES up very slow. Before the word "welcome" comes up I get a black screen with the pointer showing. It takes 1 minute and 20 seconds for the screen to go to "welcome". I have found that if I run Superantispyware it does away with the black screen and works normanly. I assume that one of the adware tracking cookies is causing the black screen. I saved a print of all your suggestions and will use them if necessary. Thanks Bob jkolak - After I ran a quick scan, the black screen after the "welcome" sign came back. So I ran the SAS in safe mode. This time it ran to completion and it apparently eliminated the problem with the black screen. I thank you for your help. Bob Good. I'm glad it worked out!

6121.	Solve : unable to play the songs?
Answer» I purchased a new Compaque Pressario CQ3120IX Desktop PC with a Window 7 Starter OPERATING system. I downloaded some songs from the internet free download sites. After two three DAYS the songs are not playing on the computer. On clicking the songs file a message comes "Server execution failed" How can I fix the problem. Is it a virus problem? Do other MUSIC FILES play properly?Try to play the songs in vlc player or download k LITE codec from apphit.com

6122.	Solve : Netbook: upgrade or downgrade??
Answer» HI guys, I RECENTLY purchased an acer aspire 751 netbook, with 2GB RAM, 250GB HD . It came with vista preinstalled. I'm not sure what the processor is, but I think it's a bog-standard netbook processor, nothing special. Anyway, the thing is an absolute nightmare because it is SO VERY SLOW. I suspect vista to be the main problem (and maybe some of the preinstalled virus software etc, but mostly vista...). Some people have told me to upgrade to Win 7, others have said that going to XP is a better idea. I could really do with some advice! Aside from deciding whether to upgrade or downgrade-- I'm not sure how to APPROACH an OS installation on a machine with no disk drive! So details of how to do that would also be very much appreciated. Thanks very much, EllenContrary to what "some people" have told you, the OS makes very little difference. What, in particular, is slow?The computer is slow to respond to whatever I do, but particularly stuff like launching a browser (IE etc.) or opening DOCUMENTS. Sometimes it can't keep up when I'm typing and the text takes somewhere between 5-10 seconds to appear.Okay, two things. First, you should make sure you are malware free. Please do a full scan with BOTH your anti virus utility AND MalwareBytes. Then we can try a CLEAN boot and see what happens.

6127.	Solve : vista picture file?
Answer» Would like Google's PICASA 3 picture FILE to be my default. Seems when downloading from camera files go directly to windows picture file first. If we DELETE picture from windows vista it deletes automatically from picasa as WELL.

6128.	Solve : hidden file cannot be shown!!!pls help!!!!?
Answer» i had use command prompt, bt some file also cannot be shown my file name is Movie &AMP; Video, i had wrote (exp1) C:\users\users\ATTRIB -a -h D:\Movie & Video (result)'Video' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file :-[what can i do to OPEN this file??

In your case: attrib -a -h D:\Movie&~1You must use quotes around a file name with spaces like this attrib -h "Cats and dogs.txt"

Did you upgraded from windows VISTA to win 7 or you did a clean INSTALLATION?Who is your computer manufacturer

6126.	Solve : I've been Con'ed!!!?
Answer» Well today my brother comes to me and tells me about his problem with his new laptop... i found out he recently had it serviced ( i dont know why because i usually solve most computer problems) He tell's me he had a hard drive replaced and files relocated... but UPON inspection, (i was curious), i find that the hardrive appears to be the manufactures default one...(UNLIKE the seagate one the reciept claims it to be... Anyone know if windows keeps a list of files that tell you when drivers are updated etc... and do hardrives CARRY specific serials that bind themselves to the laptop themselves? anyone able to shed light on this mystery?i have also noticed.. the files are dated back before the hardrive was "changed"... all signs point to the same hardrive.. which must of fell out.. and all he did was put it back in.. and charged for a new hardrive1) There's no reason he could not have gotten the exact same model drive. 2) The file dates would not change if the drive was cloned 3) Bind themselves to the laptop? I don't understand that.Allan..... #3.. I think he means like a cars VIN or something.. any way to tell from the HD's # if it was OEM or a "replacement".... Like dating a rifle by it's serial number? I'd be willing to guess no.. but some you guys know more so........A good practice is to return defective parts to the owner. Except when the old item has some "recycle" value. The FACT that they kept the drive is very speciousness. Contact your local district ATTORNEY. Do not confront the repair shop, unless the DA tells you to do that. You should go to the manufacturers web site and see if you can find specific details about that model. With a serial number you may find what the machine had originally.

6131.	Solve : Proxy settings conflict..?
Answer» VISTA 32 had been OK with firefox and AVG downloads using Google Chrome. No connectivity issues in general. Have been studying web development and recently got into IIS and other server/web functions. Server has been set to off. Related or not, I am unable to open Firefox or AVG download. Big ol' hairy deal because AVG has always been good to me and recently got steered to McAfee by Comcast ISP. Specifically, I do not know how to find/modify proxy settings. Any help big fun! Thanks Brainiacs HammerWhy WOULD you think a proxy setting would affect a DLoaded file ? ?Thanks for the reply Patio. The reason I think a proxy setting would cause the problem is that in order for me to complete the INSTALL of AVG or to access Firefox I need to get to the IP address, as you know. When I attempt to connect, I get an error message like "the proxy server is refusing connections to ..., check your proxy settings to correct the problem". I am paraphrasing for expediency. Error code OxEOO1CO4E When I go to proxy settings port assignments are needed and this is beyond my understanding. I went through the A+ manual ten years ago and built a Pentium based PC, the rest has been on LINE and self study with W3schools and OTHERS. Perhaps you could recommend some tools that might be useful in getting through my weaknesses. You were a big help last time. Thanks again. http://free.avg.com/download-file-ins-afg-free try downloading AVG again but don't use downloaded manager.

6134.	Solve : Computer crashes all the time. I have tried a lot?
Answer» Hi my story I have had my computer for about 3 years now, it's not a work of art, but it has never given any problems. I assembled it myself, so I know it pretty well. I switched to windows 7's evaluation build about a year ago and it worked fine until recently. About three months ago my computer started restarting and freezing. It happens in ANY and all applications. It can take 5seconds or an hour. When I play games it normally FREEZES or restarts within 10minutes. It happens when I open IE, while I'm watching a dvd, while I'm playing a game or even when i'm just opening my documents. By freeze I mean: The screen blurrs and then doesn't change, whatever music or sound is playing sounds as if it's stuck, the numpad and caps keys don't change the lights on the keyboard, and the cursor doesn't move. Sometimes after my computer has frozen or restarted it will freeze again in the middle of start-up. NOTE: My computer never restarts or freezes when it is idle. I've tried these things in the order below: 1)I updated all the drivers on the motherboard, sound and graphics card. 2)I downloaded speedfan so I can monitor all the temperatures 3)I replaced the old thermal paste on my CPU 4)I did numerous virus scans 5) I tried running the computer on the onboard graphics 6) I've reinstalled windows and tried to run my computer on all the default drivers. 7)I installed latest drivers again. 8)I opened my computer up and cleaned everything thoroughly. 9)I bought a new power supply after the voltages seemed to be the problem Specs: CPU: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200. (Dual core 2.2Ghz) RAM: 2GB of Transcend 800Mgz DDR2 RAM GfxCARD: MSI Nvidia Geforce 9500GT 512mb PSU: Gigabyte Odin 370Watt PSU M-board: Biostar GF7100P-M7S Motherboard DVD: Asus X multi DVD writer HDD: Seagate 160GB Software: Bios: phoenic technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 2007/11/7 SMBIOS: 2.5 OS: Windows 7 ultimate 6.1.7100 build 7100. 32bit Audio: Realtek drivers Graphics: Nvidia drivers 196.21 Temperatures: GPU : 44C core0:30 core1:25 HD0:40 system TEMP: 25 Temp1: 25 temp2:34 temp3:32 Voltages Core1: 1.12v Vcore2: 1.47v +3.3V: 3.30V +5V: 4.89V +12V: 12.03V -12V: -6.93V -5V: -4.96V +5V: 4.84V Vbat: 3.15V CPU Usage: 1% Memore: 767MB Thanks for the help!1) Go to System PROPERTIES - Advanced - STARTUP & Recovery Settings and uncheck "Automatically Restart". Next time there's an error your system should display a blue screen instead of rebooting. Post the ENTIRE contents of that screen here. If, however, the system still reboots, the problem is almost certain hardware related. 2) Open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. Double-click on the "cpu" title at the top of that column to sort with highest usage at the top. Next time the system freezes, see if the top task was hogging the cpu and if so tell us what it is. 3) What happens in safe mode? What happens with a clean boot?I allready had the setting to auto-restart disabled. The CPU was acting normally while the computer froze. SAFE MODE DIDN"T STOP THE PROBLEM! My computer just froze now You also asked me about what my computer does during a clean boot.... It just boots normally. There are no problems. It only gives problems on startup straight after a crash. new::::: Could the problem be cause by malfunctioning RAM? I could try a different RAM module in the computer and see if it still gives the same problem.It doesn't hurt to try a different RAM module if you have one available. Eliminating possibilities never hurts. If your computer never crashes after a clean boot, then you have something in startup or services that is crashing your computer. Allan meant for you to watch the process manager and see if a process was at a high CPU percentage when the computer freezes.I hve been working on it this morning. I put a different RAM module in and the computer seems to be working fine. Just on your previous post. My computer did crash after a clean boot, but only while I was using it. It never crashed while it was idle. And when I opened task manager to view processes the application that I was busy using would be the one at the top. There was nothing strange to report. I am going to try and clean my RAM chip quickly and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise I'll just have to order a new one. It might still be under warranty. Thanks for your help, though!I hope that solves your problem. I recently had to clean both RAM and video card edge connectors to get a computer working right.

6135.	Solve : mporting files?
Answer» Please Help How do you import a file from Windows Task launcher WORD processor program into Yahoo E-Mail....This wasn't exactly worded properly... What Word app..why from task launcher...why Yahoo ? ?I am a relatively new computer user---I only use Yahoo E-Mail---The only word processor program I use is the one that was installed on my computer when I got it--Microsoft's Task Launcher word processor program---I wanted to import a document I created into my Yahoo E-mail. Note I tried to use the E-Mail in the word processor program but it requested info I COULD not provide. I was able to import the file into Yahoo E-Mail but I could not open it up Any help would be appreciated.Ok, I see what you're talking about. You're USING the Microsoft Works Task Launcher to access the Works Word Processor. It might be that you are saving the file as the wrong file type. When you're in Yahoo Mail, and you try to import a file, there should be a list of acceptable file TYPES that yahoo will allow for import. Go into Yahoo Mail and see if this list has a file type that you can save the file as in Works Word Processor. Also, if Works Word Processor won't allow you to save the file as the file type you need, then try downloading OpenOffice.org. I believe I had this problem before and was able to overcome it by using OpenOffice.org. Here is the link... www.openoffice.org Just click on, "I want to download".It does sound like you are using MS Works word processor. By default it saves files as .wps documents. When you go to save a file you can change it to a .DOC file which is the most common word processor format and shouldn't be a problem with Yahoo. Also, unless the person your sending the file to has Works, they won't be able to open the file.

Answer» hi sir how to make copy one dvd to another dvd in window 7. To use of nero easy to make a copy of one dvd to another dvd but WINDOE 7 has not support to the nero.

6141.	Solve : dos, win98,win xp based plc programm runnuing on vista?
Answer» hello everyone i need help to run the cnc- plc developing programme on vista operating system.pl. note that these cnc prog are on dos, win98 and win xp based. i thing to run these program on Vista some setting is required in setver, config.sys and ansi.sys files. [emailprotected] email addy REMOVED to prevent SPAM.Vista still has these 3 files for backwards compatibility. Is there any reason why you have not been able to just install the program normally like you would under XP? If it doesn't work, you can right click the program for the Properties box and set the compatibility mode for XP or 98. If neither of those work, then you would have to try SOMETHING like VIRTUALBOX to run XP or 98 under Vista.No NT OS supports the Autoexec.bat, config.sys. Only 32-bit EDITIONS have the 16-bit "setver" program. it does however have autoexec.nt and config.nt for DOS-based applications. The SETUP program probably created a autoexec.bat and config.sys file in the root of the system drive; simply copy or cut the contents of these files into your autoexec.nt and config.nt files. (or if there are no .nt files simply rename them)

Answer» I have 3 or 4 anti virus programs on my laptop and every one of them wants me to pay for them to work. How do I get a 100% free anti virus program and how do I delete the ones that dont work???every few minutes i have something pop up that tells me i have viruses but EVERYTHING wants me to pay for an upgrade.. thats not what i want to do can someone help me figure out how to get rid of all these viruses!!!!!You are infected with what is known as "rogue" programs that only want to seperate you from your hard earned money and are worthless... Clik Here... and FOLLOW the instructions...ok ive checked that out but i dont have windows xp nor do i have that sp whatever that is lol i must be slow because those directions CONFUSED the heck out of meThey are not as confusing as you think///try taking them 1 STEP at a time...how do i uninstall all the existing anitvirus programseverything i am seeing is about windows xp i have windows vista am i missing something here?The instructions are the same for Vista...there should actually be very little difference at all.ok so how do i remove all the existing anitvirus programsThe instructions on that page are very detailed and complete.

Answer» Hi - I am running Vista Home Basic 32 bit. I have ran a backup using Macrium Reflect and it came out on 5 disks. Now I want to run a restore but I am having trouble following the directions. I call the program and have the number 1 disk in the computer. I GET a page that is headed "Macrium Reflect - Free Edition". There is a place that is headed "Restore tasks" and when I click on it I get 3 choices. The first on is "Restore a Partition from an image file". If I click on this I get A page . that asks for a FOLDER that contains the image, but gives me no choices to click on. With this description can you give me any help about I am doing wrong or what I should be doing to run a restore? Thanks BobCreate a bootable disc with Macrium, boot to it and do the restore.Allen - You can't know how DUMB I am. Maybe you can because you have helped me before. You say to "create a bootable disc with Macrium". Can you tell me how to do it in simple enough language that I can do it? I am 88 years old and this is pretty foreign to me but I think I am LEARNING. Thanks BobHere are some video turorials that will WALK you through everything: http://www.google.com/search?q=create+bootable+disc+with+macrium&hl=en&sa=X&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS304US305&tbs=vid:1&tbo=u&ei=hf24S9y1M4v-9ATG1cg0&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCoQqwQwAwALLEN - thanks for the infro.

6148.	Solve : Upper Case and Lower Case?
Answer» I am running Windows ULT 7 on a Sony All-in-one. I am doing some Web developemnt(Javascript) and I am fit to be tied. If I have a file, ex: country.html. I OPEN it and then save as Country, then I go to the Folder and the file is still named country.html. Same if I try renaming it. And, yes I am in the same Folder. ? while NTFS is case sensitive, Windows Explorer is not. You can rename the file in command prompt if you NEED specific cases. http://www.sharewareconnection.com/change-case-of-file-names-software.htmI think the culprut was Prog Notepad 2. It automatically makes a BACKUP of each file I open in it. Won't let me change the name while a backup exsists of the old file. I turned off "Make a BU file in Prog Notepad II. All is good. Thanks.

6150.	Solve : two operation systems?
Answer» i had a VIRUS that rendered my computer useless. i re-installed windows,reformatting the hard drive and loosing all the data. i'm OK with that. now the RECOVERY drive has two operating SYSTEMS and its memory is full to 90% capacity. i don't know how this happened. i thought the first ( infected ) operating system would disappear with the reformatting of the hard drive. I NEED TO DELETE THE FIRST O/S. CAN ANYONE HELP?1) You did not format or the drive would have been completely erased. 2) I suggest you start again. Boot to the OS CD or DVD, CHOOSE the format option, format the drive, then install the new OS. If you WANT to be 100% certain you can also delete and then recreate the system partition prior to formatting. 3) Just a terminology correction if I may: Memory is ram. I believe you don't mean the "memory" is full to 90% but rather the hard drive is almost full.thanks for the info and i stand corrected on the terminology
