I am using Microsoft Outlook and I want to reduce the size of a photo and email it but when i right clic on a photo file to email there is no email selection for me to select therefore i cannot reduce the picture size.
Have new computer running windows 7 with Office Outlook 2003 as my email server. I cannot send a webpage or pic to my email, it wants me to use windows live. Had no problem doing this wind windows xp.
I used to have folders with a display of pictures on the front. Now I have plain folders, when opened, they have an icon to click and the a large picture shows up. I would like to open the folder and see the thumbprints immediately. Toshiba Satellite running Win 7.
As a personal preference, I run with the taskbar positioned on the left side of the screen with autohide set. In all previous versions of Windows, when I set the width of the taskbar (usually about 1 inch, so I can see more than just the icon for each task and the quick launch area is three or four icons wide) it stays that way, whether the taskbar is locked or unlocked. With Windows 7, after I set the width, any time the system restarts, whether from Hibernation, reboot, initial startup, what-ever - the taskbar is back to the narrowest setting.
I have windows 7 home premium running on my compaq (HP) presario laptop. When i select a photo for the wallpaper it stretches it out even if the photo is a potrait one, which means it cuts off heads of people and so on. I have tried going into control panel> appearance and personalisation> personalisation> desktop background> and tried to change the picture position to fit or centre or anything other then stretch but it wont change anything, the wallpaper stays the same. Anyone have any ideas? i have a feeling it may be a problem with windows or something. My dad is running windows 7 home premium on his home pc and i can change the wallpaper settings on it no problem.
I've 4 primary partitions on my drive. I've resized the system partition (win 7) and the second one with gparted. No problem with the first but the second is gone. Disk management shows it but no way to format or change the drive letter.
I have upgraded my PC from Windows XP on an intel Q6600 to WIndows 7 on an AMD 1090t processor. I have my new Hard drive (C) with windows 7 and my old hard drive (D) has Windows XP with all of my files.I would like to image the old drive and store it as a "just in case" measure. The old drive has a 500GB capacity with only about 150GB used. When I image the drive the image file is ~500GB.
1. If I resize the old hard drive using "Windows 7 Disk Management" will I still be able to put that drive in my old computer and have it boot up?
2. Will the image file be only the size of the new partition?
when I resize windows I get a considerable CPU hit, anywhere from 35% to 70%. My processor and GPU are decent so I'm not sure why this would happen, but it sometimes causes audio crackles and other glitches. I am on the Nvidia 260.99 drivers.
I have just purchased a new computer which came with Windows 7 home premium 64bit preinstalled with a 1T hard drive. I want to partition the available 931g hard drive into two partitions. I followed the instructions in Disk Management and shrunk the 931g partition by creating a 459.04g partition (blue line at top) and another simple partition of 451.38g which says it is unallocated and has a black line at the top.
HOW do I make the unallocated partition active (I have followed the new partition wizard but end up with a message box which eventually tells me no.) I have repartitioned hard drives in the distant past but used a program for that purpose which I no longer have.
I have a System partition which is running out of space. Using GParted I took 1GB from the Data partition and made it unallocated. Now, how do I add that to the System partition?
I have two monitors, each with a large screen. I often move a window from one to the other. If I place it near the top of the screen, Windows happily expands it to fill the whole screen, something I'd rather not have happen.How do I disable this function?
I want to shrink my C partition with Windows 7 installed, but Windows 7 partition manager wont shrink it past 200GB because of unmovable files. I dont know what files those are though.
If I use Partition Wizard to shrink the size to 100GB, is it safe to resize when there are unmovable files? Will this damage my system?
Why can a third party program shrink the partition, but Windows cant?
I installed windows seven beta a few weeks ago. I made the partition too small at the time and just recently used a live ubuntu cd's partition editor to add more space to the windows seven partition.
When I booted into vista it automatically check the drive and restarted with no problems.
When I attempted to boot into seven it gave me an error screen saying I need to reinstall my O.S.
I have lost my cd for the beta build. Is their anyway I could get a copy of the iso from Microsoft again? Or would it be easier to upgrade to the release candidate? Or can I posiblely repair without the cd (when I try to acess the extra features of f8 on the boot screen I get the same error as trying to load the os)?
I'm running Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit Every time I bootup my icons have changed size to medium and are shifted to the left of my screen. The auto arrange in un checked so i'm really stuck
during a clean install, after expanding and updating and it says "completing..." it resized the screen and then it freezes forever.
I have tried dozens of different ways to install windows7, from reinstall a clean install of vista and then just trying to upgrade, to many clean installs on windows 7.
Not only i cant load Windows7, but when i installed vista again, I cant get the media center to recognize my internal tv tuner.
I had an empty 70 GB partition on the left of my computer and a 230 GB on the right side but I wanted to combine them. Windows was on the 230 GB partition. I booted GParted and combined them, it copied everything from the 230 GB partition over and resized it, it took a few hours.I assumed after it wouldn't boot and all I would have to do is pop in my Windows 7 install disc and go through the repair setup. At first I ran startup repair and it would say it found a problem, and I rebooted and still nothing.. After the bios loads and it lists my DVD drives I just get a cursor _ blinking, nothing else.. No BOOTMGR missing.Odd I thought, so I ran repair again, and again it found another problem. I did this several times before it said it could not detect a problem but it still would do the same thing.I opened the cmd prompt and issued the following commands
I tried installing a second copy of Windows 7 on a 10 GB partition on the end, it went successfully but still blinking cursor. Theres a 54 MB partition at the beginning of type Primary, the main windows one is System and the test windows 7 partition is Primary as well. I thought the first one was usually 100 MB but maybe I am wrong.Still I am stuck with a blinking cursor?
I was going to partition my hdd it had 72gb free and it has 160gb so i partitioning the hard drive (i used partition wizard) i always use that program.After it finished it reboot then it got stuck at bios it would not load any cd or dvd it will just hang there.There it says two options "Press F1 to run setup" i press it and says "Entering Setup..." and nothing happens and "Press ESC for BBS POPUP menu i press it and says "Boot selection popup menu has been selected"This is what the screen says:

I was trying to resize my partition but it just stopped and got stuck at "Ultra DMA Mode-5, S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status OK". As i mentioned above I tried to boot of a cd/dvd but it wouldnt work i have 2 other hard drives and the work perfect.
I'm wanting to install Windows 7 as a dual boot alongside my existing XP set up and have been trying to follow the excellent guide at Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP
But I'm stuck at resizing the existing partition as described at Partition or Volume - Shrink
I get as far as the command prompt and selecting the drive, but as soon as I type "shrink querymax" or "shrink desired=15360" or even just "shrink" I get the message
"Diskpart has encountered an error: This service cannot be started in safe mode"
Now I can't see any way of getting a command prompt WITHOUT starting in safe mode.
There was originally just one HDD and I wanted all my "Media" to be in one partition and then Programme Files etc. in another (being C). This was just so that I could copy the entire 'Drive' I had created making moving videos and photos around easier.So I used the built in disk partition manager and created some unallocated space, then called that space Drive (A) - But now that (A) drive is full and I want to add an additional 40Gb to it from the original C, but I the "Extend Volume" option is greyed out on the (A) drive even with the 40Gb as Unallocated.
After I used "Acronis Disk Director" in a HirenBoot CD to cut some space from my D drive to my C drive (boot drive), I've got this "Windows is checking the D drive" then "Corrupted master file table. Checkdisk is aborted" on my D drive. After doing some homework, I've tried corrected it by using testdisk's Fix MFT function but "Both of the MFT files are corrupted. Can't fix". I did not back up the whole partition. I do not really want to buy $60 + commercial software that TestDisk recommends just to fix this possibly once-in-a-lifetime issue. However, if recovery softwares is the only option left, then I have to use them.
Ok well i just bought this computer and i was resizing the partion and i turned off mycomputer, i restarted my computer and got the same error.I put in the windows vista restore disc and nothing at all happend even whe i ran with cdrom.
I realize that it takes 8-10 seconds to open up a picture when i want to click on it to view it. I do not have such problem with Vista and Window XP. Is this a new problem??
I often want to send an email attachment from my desktop or other directory. When I right click on the file, and click send to email recipient, i get an error telling me no email program is associated to perform this action.I don't have any stand alone email program s installed. I strictly use web based email (gmail & hotmail) as my mail programs. I do not wish to install a stand alone program such as outlook or Thunderbird. How can I associate my request to email to a recipient to automatically go to my web based email platform (gmail or hotmail) and send the mail?I cant seem to find a hack or a small program to install to tell Windows 7 to use my web based email as my program!
I've been running XP for some years and recently set up Win 7 on a new SSD. In XP and using Opera browser, if I clicked on an web page's email link, my email client (Sylpheed) would open with the address inserted. With Win 7 and the email defaults set, it won't. Instead, it always returns an "Internal communication error" page (example link: Contact Us | PCWorld). Below are screenshots of my Win 7 email defaults and Opera preferences setting. One thing I'm not sure about, if it's at all relevant, is where Opera is picking up the default application from. In XP, it picked up Opera email as the default. The Other Application file location shown is exactly the same in both, except for the drive letter.
I have Windows 7 64-bit pro with Outlook 2010 installed on a Dell laptop. Is there a way to configure Outlook email to sync with my work email? Activesync works perfectly on my phone so that portion of the network is open at my work. I have been doing some reaserch and in order to get Outlook to sync with Exchange Server without VPN, RPC over HTTP or Outlook Anywhere must be enabled on the network. I know for a fact that our IT department have that portion disabled.
can use a network router to network two desktops (windows 8) and two laptops (windows 7, xp) using wired and wireless connection, so that i can share files, printers and use remote desktop and host a basic email sever between the four computer without an internet connection if i can how would host the email sever over the router so that email can be sent between the computer i plan to use mercury mail server and have not got a router yet.
