Unable To Change Desktop
Jun 16, 2012
I upgraded from Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium yesterday. Unfortunatley. I forgot to uninstall Oceanis before upgrading. I uninstalled Oceanis after and now all I can get is a black screen. I know I remember changing the regedit when I installed Oceanis but don't know how to change it back. I have a Asus EEE PC 1005HA.

I don't change my passwords often but figured it was about time to do the rounds and change them. I use the same password on all my computers and when I change one I change them all to the same p/w.Right now I am using Linux distro (Kubuntu) to ask for help here.I find that the change to the admin password on my Win7 drive is not happy with the new password. I went around and did them all at he same time. I can access every other OS on every drive with my new password but Win7 wont let me in. I have 3 of my daughters personal log ins and a guest log in as well as my own on win7 . I am the only admin user on the machine. Long story short, is there a fix for this or do I put a live Linux on the box and remove all my data, photos etc on to another drive and then re-install my win7. The Win7 disc is a genuine, legit paid for copy and other than this difficulty I don't have any problems with it.

When I first installed Windows 7 a few days back, I didnt do anything to change any permissions, but I have had several occurances where Windows 7 stops me from installing or even startring a program. I tried to install an image of the message here, but Im not sure how that is done.

My problem is I am trying to install children s educational /Games from CDs After having installed the programs, and the programs that help run them like Adobe 6, I have installed (8) eight different programs, of which some run, and some don't. The main problem here is after I have turned off the computer. Then on restarting the computer there is no educational /Games programs on the computer, Even the short cuts I used to start the programs have gone. Nothing in the All Programs and nothing in the Programs and Features window either.

I have my password on my Windows 7 laptop set as a Russian word, and my default language is English. Usually, when I am prompted for my password, there is a button I can click to choose the keyboard language, so I can type it in. However, I restarted my computer and the button has vanished. This means that I cannot choose the Russian alphabet to type my password in, and my computer has become unusable. I do not have a password reset disk. Is there any way for me to fix this problem? If you need more information.

I am unable to change my folder icons.
I right click on the FOLDER > PROPERTIES > CUSTOMIZE and CHANGE ICON but whatever picture i choose the folder icon doesn't change.
I've tried renaming the picture to .ico but that doesn't help either. I put the picture into another new folder by itself but that doesn't help either.
I get the error message : "The file contains no icons"

I have Win 7 x64 and originally set up and used one account that was an Admin account, thinking that I had all rights and priveleges as I should have, being the sole user.
Then I started noticing strange things like I was unable to change my Network Sharing to Off. I would select that option only to have it back On.
To my horror, I then realized that my computer had been hacked and a Default account had ALL rights and privileges and limited my account!
I called a computer specialist that reset my computer back to the original settings and am starting over. This time I have two accounts - an admin and regular account. I only work in the regular account now.
When I log in as an Admin to check up on things, I am am once again unable to disable network sharing even though I have a Homegroup.
How can I know if a hacker has taken over that account?

I have two network cards in my PC. A wireless and an ethernet card. The wireless connection is identified as a public network and I can change it.
My ethernet card is connected to another PC and I've got the two of them connected directly to each other...no routers or anything. I am unable to change the network type and it is stuck on Public Network. Is there anyway to fix this?

I have new emachines g525 laptop with windows 7 installed and updated (today).
The laptop has both cat5 and wifi networking and the issue I have is with the wifi although I haven't attempted it with the wired network.
My network consists of a gateway computer (not running windows) that has both an internal and external network interface, and there is a WiFi access point for the internal network.
The laptop connects to the access point and obtains an internal IP address using DHCP. The only access to the outside world is via a squid proxy on the gateway machine.
The problem is that when I connect with WiFi it sets the network as an "Unidentified network" and hence sets it as a "Public network". I can manually modify this each time to "Home network" via the "Choose home-group and sharing options" in "Network and Sharing Center". If I go to the "Set network Properties" popup it displays the Network name as "Unidentified network" and the icon as a bench. I am unable to change either of these properties even though the Network name field looks to be a text entry box. I would like to change the network name and have the laptop automatically use "Home network" for this connection.

I am unable to change my Creative Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000 from stereo to 5.1/7.1 though the configure option in Sound>Playback Devices. I want to do this so I can use X-Fi CMSS-3D with the headset (which I was using before I did a fresh install of my system), instead of having the headset on stereo and using a very basic form of X-Fi CMSS-3D
I am using the headset in a 3.0 USB port and not with a soundcard/onboard sound.
I have disabled onboard sound.
I have updated my Driver and Creative Audio Console to Creative Gaming Headsets Driver 1.01.0004 I have updated my Creative Console Launcher to Creative Console Launcher for Gaming Headsets 2.50.93
This issue has only happened after I have done a fresh install, and I did another to try and rectify this issue to no avail.

I've just had to do a factory restore on my laptop to clean it up and now I've reloaded everything I can't seem to change the desktop background. Well, I can set a different picture, but I can't change the settings for stretch, centre etc. I can access them and try but when I click on save nothing happens.

I had a virus that I got rid of a couple of weeks ago, but it seems there are some "lingering" effects. Today I tried to change the background picture on my desktop and it won't change no matter what I do. Windows 7-64, OS.

I have a user with a Windows 7 64 bit machine on our domain. A few days ago he recieved a nasty malware virus and we removed it with our virus tools. However, his desktop is not the way it use to be before the malware. The obvious problem being his desktop background is black and it does not change. When I try to change it in control panel to Architecture or Landscapes, nothing happens, just the color of the taskbar changes. Also, Ive noticed that his "Accessories" folder is missing.I tried adjusting settings in the Ease of Access section, but still does not work.

About 2 days ago I noticed that all of a sudden my scroll and progress bars, and all of the prompt windows (save, open file, etc.) changed to a Windows 98 style! I didn't think anything of it until I tried to save an image through Firefox and it wouldn't bring up the prompt to choose a location. Initially I thought it to be exclusive to Firefox, but later I had worked on an Word document and when I tried to Save As... the exact same thing, a flash indicating that it tried to open the location window and that's it. Every program does the exact same thing, no way to bring up a location menu or change directory.
