OpenVPN On Windows 7 Pro X64 - Connect / Disconnect (Grayed Out)
May 15, 2012
I've run into problems installing OpenVPN in the past on Windows 7, but my normal fixes don't seem to work on this box. I have other Windows 7 nodes up and running OpenVPN, but none specifically on a Pro x64 box (if that even matters,) so I hope it's possible. My problem is once OpenVPN is installed, it's GUI doesn't give me an option to 'Connect' when I right-click the tray icon. Normally, there are options to Connect, Disconnect (grayed), Edit Password, View Log, etc.
Normally, I can take ownership of the OpenVPN program folder and that takes care of this precise problem, but not this time. In other versions, the GUI can be run in Vista compatability, or just run as administrator. But, this one still doesn't work. There's at least one event that manifests when the GUI launches.
Event ID: 1001
Fault bucket , type 0
Event Name: PCA2
Response: Not available
Cab ID: 0
OpenVPN does install a TAP Win32 Adapter whose drivers sometimes produce the 'are you sure you want to install this driver?' dialog.

I want to defragment my hard drive but it wont let me due to the task scheduler being disabled. I go to open up the task scheduler and it says "The remote computer was not found" and it opens the scheduler and all the options are greyed out. I tried going into the registry and changing start from 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 and rebooting but still doesn't work! [URL]
my OS is Windows 7 home premium 64bit

I'm on my work VPN and trying to remote into my computer at work using Windows Remote desktop. I enter my computer name and user name in the Remote Desktop Connection window. I am then prompted to enter my password. I enter my password and that dialog goes away, but then nothing happens. All that is left is the first Remote Desktop Connection dialog with some fields grayed out. Even if I enter in the wrong password, I don't get an error message.

I use Windows 7 Pro on our company LAN. I had to connect temporarily to another computer on the LAN to access some file shares there. Now I would like to disconnect. I haven't found any way to do this.

I have a PC I assembled last June. After I loaded it up with my applications and connected my devices I began getting device disconnect sounds as well as a few device connect sounds. I've been troubleshooting by disconnecting all devices then adding devices back one at a time to try to find the culprit. I'm not getting consistent or convincing results so far, but will keep working on that approach.
A Web search on the subject returns lots of results where users are experiencing these sounds. Answers are sparse. And antagonizing! I have not found any hints as to how to extract from the system what is actually happening. What I am looking for is if anybody knows where in the system I can find a log that records device connect/disconnect events associated with these sounds.

I recently upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate and Win Live Mail, and this is where the problem lays. How can I get back the File:Edit:View:Tools etc. back to the top of the page? As part of the same problem, I also want to have access to the text facilities of, Bold:Underlined:Italics:Bold Underline etc., functions. I managed to find the latter when I click "New"(mail) and then the "Message" tab, but when the drop down tool bar appears all the functions that appear on the right side of this panel are grayed out and access is denied.

Is it a viewer program problem when certain web site pages begin to gray out so they are not visible? Or is it a browser setting that is not working?

In device manager to disable mouse pad is grayed out. To uninstall it doesn't work because it just comes back when I reboot. (On another computer before this)This is a new 64 bit Lenovo win 7 home premium. I need to get rid of it because I accidentally use it when typing or something with the palm of my hand.

When I press "Connect or Disconnect", it pops up an infobox saying "You are currently connected to: xnetwork"
However, there is no option to disconnect from the network. This is extremely frustrating; apparently I'm blind, but I've tried disabling and re-enabling the adapter to no avail.
Windows 7 x32, btw. (desktop, in my profile)

have researched this problem and found the remedy to make the browser and mail programs the defaults in the Control Panel>Default Programs.I have Windows 7 Professional and Windows Live Mail. I also went to the Options windows of Windows Live Mail to insure that it was set as the default. I then went to the Internet Explorer Internet Options window and found that "Internet Explorer (64-bit) cannot be the default browser."I know about using IE 32-bit - I have had to use it for some websitesWhat is the point of have 64-bit if it isn't usable in all situations?? I haven't noticed any difference between the 64-bit version and the 32-bit version. What is it??I guess I need to figure out how to have my internet connection icon open the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version.

On this network there are three Windows 7 machines and two Windows XP machines. One of the Windows 7 machines is acting as a server providing all the other computers with shared folders that they network to via the "map network drive feature". The two Windows 7 machines connect to this central Windows 7 machine no problem. But the XP machines will sometimes lose connection to the network drives when accessed. They cannot see the network drives until the central Windows 7 computer is restarted. The other two Windows 7 machines have no problem connecting, even when the XP machines are having problems.
I found this article and wanted to check here to make sure it was applicable to my situation before I go ahead and muck around in the registry: Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost Problem is, the article says this: Quote: On a computer that runs one of the versions of Windows that is listed at the beginning of this article... There aren't any versions of Windows listed anywhere in the article, or none that I can find. In addition to that, it doesn't specify whether I'm supposed to be doing this on the server end or the client end. I would assume the client end but it's just another thing I want to make sure of before I go ahead and do it.

Since doing a clean install of Windows 7 my internet keeps timing out. The icon in the task bar shows that it's normal, but I'll be online and after a couple minutes the internet just stops. When I click on the icon it says "connected" and "internet access."I have tried on both a Netgear and Apple router, so it's not a router issue. I reset the modem and routers a dozen times. I called my ISP and they said everything looks normal. My Droid phone works fine and so does a Macbook in the house.I have rolled back my Atheros5007 wireless card driver, which did nothing. And then tried upgrading the latest version, which did nothing. Uninstalled the driver then reinstalled, still with no luck.I was running Windows 7 fine all year and did the clean install as something I do every year to keep my computer running well.

Why is it that so many Western Digital products suck at what they do? Every time I tried using a storage device by WD it's been acting up. One time a drive wasn't even being detected by a computer (or other computers I've tried it on) and now this new 1 TB external drive is not wanting to disconnect safely from my laptop. I did a ton of searching online and apparently, despite it not actually saving anything it's still running processes as if the person who made it assumed you don't ever want to disconnect it from your computer (which is stupid for the fact one shuts off his computer eventually at one poine) and instead want to constantly back up weekly. I made one backup and that's all I want to do at the moment. I also want to shut off my computer, but if I do that while I still get the error message "can't disconnect external drive since it's still in use", wouldn't shutting the computer down then be equivalent to unplugging the drive before it's "safe" to remove? I literally waited a full day to get my 350 GB info on this drive, and I don't want it to get corrupted through unplugging or even shutting down the computer when the drive is "still in use".By the way, it says it's "in use" but I am NOT seeing it download or backup anything (because I already finished this hours ago). Could it be that it's saving something that I'm not aware of? Or is it simply "connected" to my computer and that is one of WD's definitions of "currently in use"? If the latter is true, I guess logging off/shutting down won't do anything then, but I'd still like to be sure.

Internet disconnects after using for sometime on my computer . The network icon on the task bar shows no Internet access.When I disabled the network adapter, but when I tried to enable it, windows just shows me the enabling window but nothing happens. So I had to restart the system but it also got stuck at he shutting down screen.So when I booted the system after a force shutdown, the network adapter was enabled but the same problem happened after some time. My modem auto connects to the Internet service so I do not dial for connecting to the Internet. I use the same modem to browse Internet from my iPad and the Internet works on the device.Recently installed a driver for a USB data card.

I'm trying to partition my 500 GB hard drive into 3 drives total. Right now, there is only a C Drive, but I want to divide that.
When I go into the Windows 7 installation, this is what I see:
Extend and new are grayed out, and even in disk management, there is no unallocated space.
Can somebody please guide me into partitioning this hard drive. I've searched and the only answers I find are for dual boot setups. Partition Magic is not supported by Vista (.: 7 as well).

Running Windows 7 Ultimate. I wanted to connect my laptop to an external monitor so I pressed "Windows key + X", then clicked "connect display", then "extend."
On most computers, doing this will allow you to output the display to another monitor.
When I did it on my laptop, the screen started flickering and became garbled. It's too garbled to see, and I can't find the mouse and undo what I've done. I tried restarting but it's still like this.

I'm trying to transfer between my Desktop computer (XP) and laptop (Windows 7). When I do it wifi it only transfers at speeds between 1MBs to 3MBs. When I physically connect to my router I get better speeds at 10-11Mbs. However in both cases on large files it loses connection.It says that connection lost/failed and gives me option of retry/skip. When I hit retry it still doesn't work. When I disconnect and retry that method it starts up again from scratch however rarely does it fully transfer a file. These files are anywhere from 2GIGs to 4GIGS.I don't have anti-security on either computer. I'm using new Netgear router.
