View 2 Replies View RelatedWin 7 Pro x64. I've used a little app that you might know called 'IP Messenger for Win' (Open Source LAN Messenger / Chat application). It works well but with the latest version I'm getting a strange sequence of numbers appended to my Username (as per screenshot). It's not easy to get support on the product so thought I'd try here to see if someone recognises the issue and, no, it seems to have nothing to do with the 'machine name / description' - I've changed those (and back) to test. My Windows username is 'Jem' (which I've also tried changing). The rest is self explanatory - the other two users in the shot are Vista and XP.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe microphone jack on the front panel of my computer is having detection problems. I have tried the "disable front panel detection" option and then my mic works perfectly after that. However, whenever I hit the mute switch on my microphone, whatever is playing on my computer gets broadcasted from my mic for everyone to hear even though my microphone is switched off. I've tried this with multiple microphones and the result is the same with each of them. I've been looking around for solutions and haven't found any solution to this articular problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.
How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?
Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.
Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?
I am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some reason I can't view anything that is under the control panel as well as the control panel itself. I can open everything else fine such as pics, music, games, videos. But anything that has to with the control panel I can't see. The task bar says the folder is open but I see nothing.I have tried the following: ran sfc, it says nothing is wrong, tried to create a new user account, but I can't since it falls under the control panel. I tried to create a new user account through the guest account (I was able to make it an administrator) but it says I can't create a new account with special characters such as $=- etc... I didn't use any special characters at all so I don't know why it's saying that. It seems to me that this is a registry problem, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the registry and don't like to mess with it at all. Worse comes to worse I'm going to try to reinstall windows

Photoviewer started giving a message with this line,C:Program FilesWindows Photo ViewerPhotoViewer.dll is not a valid win32 application.Searched on google, first thing it said was to check if there's any viruses. I scanned it with super-antispyware and had one virus. Did the sfc /scannow and it says it couldn't repair some files (CBS logs are over 3mb ). Cleared the virus and after two days, most of the items in control panel doesn't do anything when I try to click on it (i.e Power Options, Backup & Restore, Firewall) or it gives the line,Windows cannot find '::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371,Paint and opening other things through Start Menu gives this fine,C:Windowssystem32ODBC32.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've tried this twice now (on the same machine) and each time Control Panel won't work; it doesn't open. If I change the start menu to show links to Control Panel applets only some of them work; User Accounts, Display, Power Settings, Windows Update and others just do nothing. This means I can't adjust my display properties to get the correct alignment of my dual monitors, among other things, so I've given up on it meantime.
Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions on how to overcome it?
