Hallo, ich habe folgendes Problem. Ich möchte gerne per Policy bzw. per Registry vorgeben, wo neue OneNotes erstellt werden. Dies möchte ich gerne auf einem vorhandenen Netzlaufwerk erstellen lassen. Weiterhin wäre es super, wenn die Größe des einzubindenden Files beschränkt werden könnte, auf 1 MB. Ist dies möglich ? Danke Markus View this thread

I have been using a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop v2.0 for two years without a hitch. This morning, neither keyboard nor mouse would respond. When I plugged the wireless receiver into a different USB port, I got the message that the driver failed to install. Also, ever since, Windows Update keeps nagging me about an update to "Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 v2.0", but when I try to install it, the installation fails with an error "WindowsUpdate_800F020B" "WindowsUpdate_dt000", which as I understand, says that a newer driver is installed already. Anyone have any clue what to do here? View the thread

My home laptop, which was running Windows 7 Home Premium, had some hard disk problems. I resolved these but I had to do a clean install of Windows. I used a setup disk I had from work, but this was for Windows 7 Enterprise. Now I'm stuck because I can't activate Windows. I have the licence key for the original Windows installation but this won't work with the upgraded install. The online activation wizard can't connect me to a store to buy a new licence key, which I don't really want to do anyway. What I want to do is either downgrade back to Home Premium somehow or maybe buy an upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (if this would allow me to activate Windows 7 Enterprise). Help please.

When I boot, I get a black screen with white text asking me to pick a system to start - and a timer counting down. I've got two identical choices (worded identically - Microsoft Windows XP .. to that effect). Selecting the first loads my Windows XP. The second appears to load an older version and prompts to select Admin or (other)User. Selecting either is as far as it will let me go. There is no program or OS backing this up. All I want to know is, how can I eliminate the second choice. It's not causing problems, just want to tidy it up a bit. View this thread

Old XP laptop crashed - got new hard-drive, installed XP from recovery discs. Tried to update XP. Windows Update said I needed to get IE8 as IE6 was reinstalled in recovery process. 16.1MB file downloads but nothing happens after? Update says I cannot install service packs from IE6? I had SP2 installed before the laptop crashed. I had not used this computer for a long time, no SP3? Not sure if SP1a was also installed? View this thread

When I try to play the songs, WMP tells me that they aren't there. When I try to delete them, nothing happens. Something seems to have gotten corrupted, but I haven't any idea how to fix it.

I have contacted the "answer desk" and tried every suggested fix I have found but Outlook will not go out to the server to get messages unless I do a manual send /receive. The answer desk rep told me I had too many accounts which has no connection with Outlook actually trying to send or download messages. I spend more than an hour with that rep. Anyone solved this yet?

The video in my old Win 7 machine is broken. I am particularly interested in transferring all the settings to my new Win 8 machine. The old machine has an external hard drive for back-up purposes, but I don't know if that includes settings or just files. Can I use Easy Transfer to access the internal hard drive even though that machine has no video? If there is no way to do that, should my external back-up drive have the settings I'm looking for and is it accessible with Easy Transfer? Any other options? View this thread

05/01/13-My Recycle Bin seems to be emptying on its own. How do I remedy this? Also how do I restore the default setting (under the Recycle Bin General tab -Custom Size) for the Maximum Size? If the Maximum size number is too small would that explain why there are very few items listed in the Recycle Bin? What would be an acceptable larger number? Jerrie K. Rosenfeld View the thread
