I am wondering if it is possible to turn off the MDI on the Windoes 7 task bar? When I have an application like Photoshop open and loads of documents open they all appear in the TOC. If you want to jump between apps quickly via alt-tab you can't because you have to tab through all the documents. Anyone know where the setting is to turn it off? Ideally I'd like to have some button on the desktop perhaps that will turn it on and off depending on the user and there preference.
The tower of my computer has a Media Control Center at the top, it's kind of like a mini touchscreen, i think it's called Media Navigation Interface. heres a link to the PC This thing has been bothering me for the past couple of years i've owned this PC, when accidently pressed with my knee it sometimes goes nuts and repeatedly goes back to previous pages on firefox, 80% of the buttons don't work so i never use i
So yesterday in the early AM's I was browsing my internet and all the sudden, bam.i lost my internet.No reason at all, it just happened. This is only my computer, everything else works fine (If internet is out, our TV's don't work)When I go to my little internet icon in the taskbar, it says Unidentified Network and I have no internet access what so ever.When I run CMD and use ipconfig /release I get this:"An error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : The system cannot find the file specified."I also got this error before:"An error occurred while releasing interface Local Area Connection : An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint." Tech support kept telling me to use ipconfig /flushdns but whenever I entered it into CMD it gave me an error saying something along the lines of "command unrecognized" I cannot give you guys the full text of what CMD says since it's on a different computer.I am using a direct ethernet cord, not wireless.
* ipconfig /release and /renew and /flushdns * Turn off firewall * Update and Reinstall Driver * Restarting my modem/router * Restarting my computer * Unplugging my ethernet cord and replugging it (also leaving it unplugged over-night) * Manually assigning the 12 code I'm assuming IP
Installation copiers Multi Boot OS with Multi software?
I have just just purchased some new PC with different configration AMD Phenom II X4 965, Gigabyte 890GLX Motherboard, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD and 2nd AMD Athalon 635 with Gigbyte 875 Mothboard -4 GB RAM, 500GB HDD.I want to use these machines for Gaming as well as for teaching and for Internet browsing and web site development
What i Did i had Installed Multiple OS Windows XP SP3 32Bit, Windows XP SP2 64 Bit, Windows 2003 server 32 and 64 bit, Windows Vista 32 & 64 Bit, Windows 2008 server 32 and 64 bit , Windows 7 32 and 64 bit.
Now i want to install general softwares like Office, Adobe Master collection cs5 , Autocad, Coral , Visual studio Java, C, SQl Server, Oracle and the list caries on
I want that i dont have to install these software again and again on every software so that the space is not occupied and i can use same program files folder for each and every OS and time is also saved from installing the software.
For that i have seen some installation copiers (backups) which remain in memory before installation and records the information of registry and system files being copied and records and the can again be copied to the different OS.
Is there any ways to do these which installation copier backup is good for doing this . finding such softwares which can copy or backup installation files registries and i can just use the same installers.
With my Windows 7 Pro 32bit laptop(fully updated) I have issues with copy and paste. When I copy text from a file/document and then paste it into another file/document I have one of three things happen. One it will copy the text correctly, though if I press enter to go to a new line its as if the clipboard was emptied because I cannot paste again, two it will not paste anything as if I didn't copy before, or three it will paste a screenshot of what is currently on my screen into the document.If it does copy and paste correctly then when I open a new file or folder, the clipboard will empty so I can't paste the same thing into two different documents unless both documents were open when I fist copied the text.This issue also occurs whe trying to copy/cut files and move them to a new/different directory(if the paste location is not already open then the clipboard appears to empty).
After my computer was infected with virus but i got it removed with my anti virus. However after that incident some of my files won't open such as internet explorer, fire fox and some other files. when I try to click on these files it either gave me the message " no such interface supported" or nothing happen at all.
I have an ASUS laptop which used to have a recovery partition. I used a function to make recovery DVDs and proceeded to format the partition.Well now Windows won't boot. I attempted to use my recovery DVDs but after taking 10-15 minutes to boot it loads to a screen with a graphic (wallpaper) and stays there.It doesn't tell me to load the next disk, it doesn't give me any kind of menu, does not accept any kind of input (including ctrl-alt-del).
Very slow operations like Start button, start an application, switch between windows. Sometimes stalls completely. Sometimes freezes so I have to go with power button. When inside an application - not so bad. I am having this PC second hand for about a year, getting worse gradually. AVG antivirus and tuneup say all is fine.
I will be the first to admit that when it comes to drivers etc, I'm not an authority or really a person with a great deal of knowledge etc.
I have a Lexmark x342n All in One printer (print/copy/fax) and have not used it for quite some time as I just use the university printers. However with university being on holidays I was hoping to use the scanner however, now that I have Windows 7 (I used to use Windows XP) everything but the Scanner Interface has a driver for it when I plugged it in.
I have tried on the Lexmark site and used the drivers there however these all create a new printer in my control panel -> printers area that does not print at all, yet the printer that appears in the same area when Windows 7 automatically installed drivers upon plugin will print but not scan. When I try and find a driver for the Scanner Interface it just says that "device driver did not install properly"
Can you really speed up Windows by simplifying the Windows7 / Vista Interface? If so what would you need to do make the entire windows have a bland, Windows95 look ?
dell has informed me that my problem with my PC Is that windows 7 can't reconize the local network interface driver and told me that it's a software issue. I reinstalled the local network interface driver from the original cd that came with the PC and 2x's restored the computer to another time and then restored it back to the factory settings-with a Dell tech on the phone- nothing helped. This problem started one morning when lighting was felt/heard very close to our home and in fact burned out our verizon moden/box that Verizon replaced. From this point I wasn't able to go on line because there was no local network avail for verizon to connect to is how I understand it.
I am planning on buying a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) so I can run DX 10 and 11 and install more memory in my computer.
I currently have two hard drives installed on my computer,
(1) a 160 GB (split into 3 partitions) with Windows XP (32-bit) installed on one of those partitions
(2) a new 640 GB with only a few files on it that can be deleted.
I want to be able to have the option of starting up in either XP or 7.
My question is this: if I install 7 on the new HD, will I still be able to see that Hard Drive's space in XP (and vice versa with 7)? Will I still be able to install and run programs from both drives in both OS's? Will installing an OS in the second drive restrict the use of the space on that drive by other OS's?
I would assume that it should work fine, but I wanted to find out if anybody has had problems with this before I go and spend $100.
Installed Home Premium on an HP workstation which has 2 physical CPU's. Only recognising a single CPU in task manager but there are 2 listed in device manager?
I'm setting up my system drive with 3 operating systems:
1) Windows 7 64 bit (for home use) 2) Win XP (for legacy programs) 3) Windows 7 64 bit (for work use)
...in that order on the hard drive. Rather than using Windows own boot manager, I'm using the open source GAG boot manager (which, like lots of third party boot managers, runs before any OS loads so you can pick which OS to run - and then hides the other OS's and their entire partitions until you reboot.) I've done this sort of thing with multiple WinXP loads before, no issues. In fact, this very hard disk used to have three WinXp loads on it (in position 1 and 3 above). I formatted those partitions and replaced them with the Win7 loads, which is when the problem started.Everything worked fine until I added the SECOND load of Win 7 (third on the hard drive, as above). It installs properly, but when I try to run it, it hangs on the "Starting Windows..." screen (and the spinning windows logo just stays spinning infinitely).if I then immediately reboot and run the FIRST load of Windows 7 (which was hidden, worked fine before, and lives on its own separate partition), I get a screen right away saying a problem happened last time I ran it! Which isn't true - the problem happened when I just ran the SECOND load of Windows 7, not the first! Remember, these Win7 loads are totally separate. But for some reason, it thinks there was a problem. It even asks me if I want to enter repair mode. Spooky...Anyway, I do NOT choose to repair and instead just say "run normally". And everything then boots fine. (Of course!) And sure enough, if I shut down and simply choose to run that same first load of Win7 a second time, it again works with no problems reported. BUT... if I then proceed to run the SECOND load of Windows 7, it again hangs on the "Starting Windows..." screen, and - you guessed it - if then try to run the FIRST copy of Win7, it will again report it had a problem last time it was loaded. Which starts the whole thing over again....
i bought a multi card reader and tried using it on Winodws 64-bit sony vaio laptop but it does not work.which provided the driver software for windows 7 64-bit. It worked for me.
I have been using accronis 2011 for a long while, cloning the c drive to a d drive every Saturday. For the first time I had cause to restore the clone on d to c driveI believed that acroniss clone made an exact copy of a drive to another. Since I did this I can't get into windows explore, my computer or any of the right hand sde of the start screen, programs are no problem.. When I try to get in I get the meassage " No such interace supported"
I plugged in my HDMI cable to my laptop. I get only video, without sound. I discovered that i have to select the S/PDIF settings. BUT, i only see the "speaker" settings. I have selected and deselected the "show disabled devices", to no avail. What am i doing wrong? I am trying to get the sound to play through my HDMI cable. I have googled this problem and found solutions with all of them being that i have to select the S/PDIF...and i don't even have it listed as an option and no way of knowing how i can get it to show up.
I just turned on my sony vaio laptop that runs windows 7 home premium and when I try to run any type of application, it shows an error saying "No such interface supported" I've tried everything in the forum and nothings working. I can't get into regedit.exe to fix the registry and the error pops up when i try to do a recovery, and also I don't have a back up. The weird thing is that it can run programs through other ways. I was able to open itunes by manually clicking a song, and I had to manually turn on my wireless hardware to get internet connection.
I uninstalled a couple of toolbars for Firefox the other day using the Uninstaller in Advanced System Care 5. I think it was the Power Clean utility which has caused the problem. Now I cant access any of my folders or shortcuts on my desktop or in the Start Menu (Control Panel, My Computer, Documents etc.) the msg 'no such interface supported' pops up. The USB connections are not working either. All non windows programs are working fine such as Mozilla, Bit Torrent, Picasa and Wifi. Do I need to reinstall Windows 7to fix the problem and will reinstalling Windows wipe all my data of my hard drives? I returned the computer to the previous restore point but it had no effect
I recently upgraded to IE9 and I am absolutely appaled at the interface. The changes in it remind me of why I usually hate upgrading my software in the first place.To get to the point: Is there any way to restore some or all of the interface of IE7/8? Items of note that I'd like to alter include:Restoring the Favorites menu to the left side of the page.Having the convienent small Google search bar on the right side, as opposed to the full on Google toolbar which requires its own row.Ensuring tabs are on the bottom of any and all toolbars, instead of forced to be right under the address bar.My biggest problem is that the only way to get a convienent search bar is to have it BELOW the tabs. I tried unlocking the toolbars and trying to move them (as has been possible in the past), but it was impossible to move them. They simply refused to change location.
im experiencing lots of problems with my current windows 7 installation (7229 64 bit) ,what i havent experienced in previous 7 builds
the issues im having are
when i right click desktop and press resoloution or personlize im getting error message ___no such interface is supported___
when i add a dock (rocket dock or nexus) im getting similar error when i add links to dock
im unable to custimize taskbar in bottom right and thus not being able to remove unwanted icons on view
the system properties link isnt working on link when i open my computer
and windows experience isnt working either for the last three problems i click the link but nothing happens
ive trying doing a repair install but get error message saying icant do it on this operating system..i suspect this happens because i installed 7 first then xp and it was booting straight into xp so i used easy bcd to give me an option to boot into either operating systems. ..but ive recently deleted xp but my computer could still think its xp but thats only i guess, i could be wrong
is there anyway to fix these errors im experiencing. also if there no soloution to these errors ,if i reinstalled using upgrade would i keep all my games and folders.
My samsung 830 120GB SSD arrived today. I plugged it into my thinkpad as an external drive using the provided adaptor, and used Norton Ghost to copy the entire drive onto the SSD. I then installed my SSD into the laptop and booted.Firstly, I get the "Preparing your desktop" screen which hangs for about 3 mins. Then I have nothing but a blue screen with the build number in the corner and a message saying Windows is not genuine. I started explorer.exe from task manager and got a start menu, but when I try to open control panel, my computer etc I get the error message "No such interface supported".
I thought I would give windows 7 a go about a week ago on my Home system and loved it so much I've decided to install on my "carpc" that's fitted in my Toyota Hilux
The install seemed to go well just like it did on my Home system, with even the touch screen being found, only problem I could not get it to Calibrate very precise.
One thing I noticed right away was Windows 7 seems to have a built in Touch Screen interface that only shows the options to when it knows a Touch screen is present, for example you can scroll about in word docs, or internet explorer just by placing your finger anywhere on the screen rather than the little bar on the right you normally have to use which can be hard on a 7" touch screen.
There is a better on screen keyboard that pops out when needed if using the touch screen, also the cursor changes to a small dot rather than a mouse cursor, but changes back as soon as you move the mouse. I'm sure there are other features I not had chance to find yet.
My only problem now is due to me not being able to calibrate the screen as good as normal I decided to install the Software/drivers from the screen manufacture, I used the Vista version which worked well, and now the screen is calibrated perfectly.
The problem is now windows 7 has taken away all the touch screen options in the control panel, plus all the above features I said no longer happen
Any idea how I can get them back while still maintaining my manufactures driver/software?
I have a dell inspiron notebook less then one year old. Every time I attempt to start up it suggest start-up repair or start normally. If I choose start normally it begins to load with the microsoft symbol when all of the sudden a multi-colored streak runs across the top half inch of the screen and it freezes for good. I have used startup repair and the computer is unable to automatically repair it, I have tried to reboot from an image of the computer and the same error happens at start-up. I have even gone as far as restoring the factory settings but there is nothing that will prevent that little streak from showing up and freezing my computer mid start up.
I have one HDD C: with Windows 7 64bit and another HDD from my previous dual boot PC with two partitions C: and E:, both winX pro.How is it possible to combine both HDDs, creating a multi boot system having as C: my Windows 7 drive?
I have defined BootMenuPolicy for Windows 7 loader as standard(1) in a multi boot system with Windows 8 and Windows 7 (and other OSs) and set Windows 7 as default loader. System boots directly to Windows 7 - no boot menu is displayed.So what is prohibiting boot manager to display boot menu ?(If bootmenupolicy for Win 7 is set to legacy(0) boot menu is displayed.)
