View 1 RepliesI have a wireless logitech headphone. The speakers work ok for the most part, but, the mic does not always work unless I manually configure it for the headphone. And after I get done talking it very often reverts back to the builtin mic. a blog but they saw it on dv9000 (I think). There was a solution given for that driver but not for my dv2700.

My main monitor is plugged in via DVI while my second computer is plugged in via HDMI. I've been on nvidia control panel and tried finding my second monitor there on the "multiple monitors" section, no second monitor there either.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was having a problem earlier with tons of BSOD's, but after getting some help here I was able to solve the problem. But lo and behold I try to install something and get this new problem. I tried going into cmd and unregistering windows installer and then re-registering it but that didnt work. Someone suggesting going into regedit and going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCURRENT CONTROL SETSERVICESMSIserverWOW64 then right click on WOW64, then select Modify Set Value Data to 0 (mine was set at 1) and Base should be Hexadecimal. However, I can't even do this because when I go to MSIserver there is no WOW64 folder so I don't even know what to change.
System restore doesn't work earlier. I really want to avoid a complete reinstall. I was able to avoid it with my BSODs but now with this new issue I cannot install anything on my computer.
After several automatic update by windows my system time has been changed (easy to change back but why did it happen) the windows installer cannot be accessed. I ran elevated sfc/sannow some repairs were made but not to installer. Would a start up repair work.

I have attempted to look up what this means, however all of the guides I find are for Windows 2000 or Server 2003! I have also had the same error message pop up when I try to manually install updates with Windows Updater.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis happened the last time I reformated and I don't really understand what's going on. I have 4 harddrives. 1 SSD and the rest are standard 7200RPM drives. This is the error I get when I try to install something.
Weird thing is I can't even play games cause I get this error too.
I did unplug the harddrives from the motherboard when I cleaned it, don't know if that could cause a problem, I don't believe they we're put in the same spots.

My main pc is using Windows 7 64 bit build 7100, my kids pc is using XP Pro. Previously we had the networking with my main pc using Vista working perfectly, the XP pc could print on the printer connected to my pc, since I put Windows 7 on this pc. I have the networking with file sharing etc working great but cannot get the XP pc to be able to print anymore. The printer is an Epson RX690.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSomehow a spammer got access to my email. Here's some stuff I use:
Windows 7 x64
Open DNS w/ all extra security options checked (phishing protection, basic malware/botnet protection, block internal ip addresses)
Wireless Router w/ a firewall MAC address filtering and WPA2 password protection
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 (currently doing a full scan was on automated scanning daily)
I haven't opened any strange looking email attachments or gone to any unknown websites. I'd like to think I'm rather computer savvy but I'm stumped on this one.
Edit: forgot to mention the spammer gained access to a Yahoo! Mail account.
Edit 2: the browser I'm using is Google Chrome.
I have norton internet security 2012 installed on my windows 7 pro hp desktop. Today when I did a crap cleaner scan, it came up with approx. 22,000 kb of files to be deleted from "remote desktop". I did not use the remote desktop. Who would use it without my permission, and how could they do that? Or are there programs that actually use it as part of their operations? I'm concerned about security, as my (fairly new) computer has slowed down considerably.

This is both left click (single and double) and right click actions. The right click will not work on the desktop image/wallpaper itself either.

Been fooling about with customizations for Windows 7 and just tried 'Classic Start Menu' from The Code Project at: Code: [URL]. The final version is actually here: Code: [URL] No trouble with the app itself, it works a treat, and delivers a classic XP-type Start Menu in Windows 7. My question concerns the very useful 'Search Programs and Files' facility that opens when the regular Start button is clicked. When Classic Start Menu is installed, this option is missing. If this search box can still be accessed when Classic Start Menu is in place? I'd ask on the Source Forge forum but I'm having trouble logging in there. BTW, one interesting tip that I've learned during this 'crusade' is that the Search Programs and Files boxmenu pops up when the Windows key is clicked.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am getting the "Windows Installer Service Could not be accessed" error. Every time I try to install a new program I get this message. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I purchased my computer about a year ago from best buy and they didn't give me a Windows 7 installation disc, so I can't do a clean install if I wanted to (though I prefer not to, of course).I have tried:1) re-registering Windows Installer with the msiexec /regserver2) running sfc /scannw3) running a system restore (though I can only restore to about 5 days ago to before(?) I did a system update) and it says it could not complete the restore (I think because of a corrupted file?)4) chkdsk5) scan with AVG & Trendmicro housecallI have been working on this for about 10 hours now..very frustrating! I feel like I am out of luck.
Most of the fixes I find online seem not to work for Windows 7I am also experiencing other problems now as well: Windows Media Player is saying "the file wmploc.dll has a version number 12.0.7601.17514 where 12.0.7600.16667 was expected"It seems like a new thing is breaking every second!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell 1525, bought in Aug 2008, with 2GB RAM. I recently upgraded from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 32-bit. I am thinking about adding 2GB RAM, for total of 4GB and upgrading to Win 7 64-bit OS.
Can I just upgrade to the 64-bit version using the 64-bit disk that came with my Win 7 upgrade package?
Will it have to be a "clean install"?
Should I add the new RAM before or after changing to the 64-bit version of Win 7?
Will I be able to buy the upgraded version of win7 if I only own full ME and just upgrade XP. When I reloaded XP fresh, it asks for ME disk before I reload XP, Whats OK by me its just hard to tell from the win7 box if upgraded XP is enough to only buy upgraded win7, I'd like to save a buck and buy other PC parts.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running a Dell Dimension machine which was purchased with Windows XP (OEM) originally installed on it and has since been upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. Even though the original installation of XP was obviously OEM, when I upgraded to Win 7 did it change to a retail licence key and therefore now allows me to install Win 7 on a new machine that I'm building?The new machine will have components out of the old machine and therefore the old one will not be able to be used, but it will be a different MB, CPU and RAM.
