Everything worked great (all same hardware) until I changed from win 7 32bit to 64bit. In normal windows everything is fine, but in Java and Silverlight/WPF programs (including VS2010 and logmein) "sometimes" typing letters will enter numbers in sequence. That is, I type "hello" and "01234" go into the file. But not all the time.I installed latest drivers and tried another keyboard. Same result
ive got several printers and computers, which give different results. Win Live Mail displays Russian and Chinese correctly, but when sent to printer, most of them garble the characters. i dont want to delve into each printer hardware, so am hoping this is a problem with Win 7 encoding somewhere ? ive seen options in Live Mail itself, but changing them there anywhere else in Win 7 itself that can be experimented with

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1.Have 7 standard users created in the User Accounts. Only 5 user icons displaying on welcome screen. All 7 users are required to and do have passwords set.Creating a new user does not add that new user to the welcome screen.Deleting a user does not move one of the other users onto the welcome screen..it reduced the number of user icons to 4.All users have valid User directories and if I force the login prompt instead of icons, they can login successfully.This happened about a week ago and may be the result of some software my son installed. Not sure.There is not an "Other User.." icon...just 5 valid user icons with 2 missing.

My sony vaio ( Windows 7 home premium 64bit) has internet connection issues lately. Heres what happens: My signal strength is 100% but when i open any program(Ex: Yahoo Messenger) or any internet browser it simply says that the webpage cannot be displayed or its not available. However, i am able to connect online with IE 64bit. SO a friend of mine checked the computer and clearly confirmed that the startup settings, services and registry settings related to the same are corrupted. So since i dont know ANYTHING AT ALL about computers :3 , i was wondering if you guys could help me out by telling me how to fix these *little* problems.
I have a problem with my Windows Services.Each time when I launch Windows Services window, I get a warning:One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either:
1. your current security settings prohibit running activex controls on this page, or
2. you have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.as a result, the page may not display correctly.
The warning pop-up opens only when I click on Extended tab.The problem has nothing to do with IE security, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.I have installed Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled it.I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem. But I presume it is.
When I'm installing programs, such as Adobe Reader or Flash, the text being displayed by the installer is in Chinese, but not all of it. Also, i noticed that after installing MS Office, the default font is set to a Chinese font
Just upgraded to Windows 7 today and have been totally loving it! Its so much faster than Vista.
I just have one major problem that has been bothering me. I dont know whether its a bug or just a noob mistake on my part but I am unable to see any drives whatsoever in the "computer" folder. I have tried disabling/enabling the "Show empty drives" thing but to no avail.
It would be great if someone could help me out with this issue.
I really didn't know the best title for this problem. I have a problem with my girlfriends laptop, where she can't install any MSI files, due to a "The file cannot be opened" error, or something to that effect. After looking in the Permissions settings for the MSI file in question, I noticed something in the Security tab, under User Names. Where it's supposed to say Miss Ghoul (STEPHANIE-PCMiss Ghoul), it actually says... Miss Ghoul (STEPHANIE-PC"). There are " where Miss Ghoul should be. I tried for ages to find out how to change this, but because she's running Windows 7 Home Premium, I have no Group Policy editor (if it even helps to have it). Is there any way to force change the " to say what it's supposed to say? And could this have an efect on her ability to install MSI files?
I recently bought a new Samsung 23" LED monitor and connected it using HDMI. Just now when I was trying to play a video file in Windows media player, only the first frame is displayed. If I keep resizing the window, the video plays normally and stops when I let go of the mouse. This issue happens with Media Player classic too. Strangely, Media Center has no issues playing whatever I throw at it and VLC is not affected at all. I uninstalled the K-lite Mega Codec Pack, downloaded the latest version of it and reinstalled it to no availnity can provide[CODE]
I m in trouble since a year,, I m using windows 7 on my laptop and webcam is built in but I m not finding webcam icon on desktop/menu bar. Although it is working in skype, yahoo etc.I have clicked everywhere on my desktop to find whether it is unlighted somewhere as it was when first time i use this laptop with windows vista orignal. now I have windows7.
When I click on tools in menu bar the drop down menu is displayed as a awful grey colour this happens when I click on other items also, ie favorites, view, edit ect(reminds me of the first computer I got about 12 years ago) Also when I play cards on POGO the graphic window is shown bigger than it should be and the game is displayed in the corner of the window instead of covering all of the window. Tried Firefox and the card game was displayed correctly but the first mentioned was still the same. Also the colours seem to garish.
I have Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate (Italian language) and I'm experiencing a strange bug since a few days. My recently opened .txt files list is not displayed any more.
This used to work before, but now when my mouse pointer is over the little triangle (see 1st pic, where "Blocco note" is "Notepad") nothing happens, and cannot understand why. Other apps are fine (e.g. Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Beyond Compare 3, see 2nd pic) What can I try?
when I wake up my computer from sleep, it will turn on (all of the fans and lights start running) but there is nothing displayed on either of my monitors.I have my hard drive set to "never turn off" and this hasn't helped the problem.
So I recently bought GTA IV, the minimum graphic memory to run it is around 256MB so as I have 353 MB I decided to give it a try. The entire installation process went on smoothly and when I run the game everything works ok but after the loading process when the cutscene starts the graphics become very horrible. When I checked out the graphics tab it showed me that I was using 256/60 MB. As far as I know my graphic memory is 383 and another surprising fact is that when you over-ride the memory in this game it actually turns the color of the font red 256/60 MB text. When normal green in color) but the color was green. I even tried increasing the setting but it didn't allow me to increase it.
Here are my graphic specification: Name: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family Manufacturer: Intel Corporation DAC Type: Internal Approx Total Memory: 353 MB Current Display Mode: 1280x800 (32bit) (60Hz) Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor
When I try to install XP, with 7 already installed, no partition is displayed. The only thing displayed is my external hard disk (though not when I unplug it) , when it lists a bunch of unnamed, empty disks.I have a 10gb partition listed as O and named XP Disk that shows up in win 7,but not when isntalling XP
I successfully installed Windows 7 RC 7100 as a second OS in addition to XP Pro. I never had Vista, so this system is totally new to me. My questions:
- I have a problem with a correct codepage for non-unicode characters in russian language. In XP there was a special setting that allowed to select the proper language to show non-unicode characters under Regional settings. Will russian LIP or MUI solve this ? BTW, whats the difference between them? If I prefer to have english menus, what do I need to get?
- I installed Windows 7 to the separate drive. During installation I had some known problems with my bad memory sticks and had a BSOD. I changed them and Windows 7 was installed successfully. Now I have to change boot sequence in BIOS to switch between XP and Windows 7. Is it a way to edit boot.ini on XP to include Windows 7?
I recently reformatted my primary HD and have come back to realize than my PC is not longer able to detect my Ethernet cable. I've tried to sort this problem out from device manager but network adapter no longer shows up.
Whenever I try to boot my computer the "welcome" message on the start up does not appear. The graphics appear to be changed a little, but can successfully login to my account . The desktop icons are displayed without the corresponding descriptive text for example I can see computer icon but not the "My computer" tag same with all icons. Right clicking on anything pops up a menu without text just a white box. Clicking activity never works and the system just crashes with a blue screen or a blank screen in few seconds.The issue started after I ran sfc/scanow command through command promt. I got several errors in system files which it fixed but not for the good(apparently the tool suppose to help users got me in trouble). Subsequent attempts yielded no errors. safe mode just displays windows icon , nothing else.Some history: I have previously used several theme softwares which tweak the system files but uninstalled it later. I tried to repair the installation using the DVD but it couldn't find any problems. Also the DVD is without servive pack 1 and I have Windows 7 SP1. couldn't uninstall SP1 through command line it just pops a blank white screen I have lots of engineering software tools I use for my college work so cannot afford a disk clean up as I don't have installation dvd's and cannot afford another student's licence.
Can I hide a specific filetype from being displayed in Explorer?For instance, I have an application that makes many .ecx files. I need the files, or more specifically the program needs the files, but I don't need to see them.
