  2. I am running Windows 7 Pro. On my last machine, I was able to right click on a file or folder, go down to &quotSend to&quot, and among the options was &quotSend to folder&quot. Now this option is not available. Is there any way I can get that option back in the options for places I can send a file or folder, or is it just not an option in this version of Windows? I am pretty sure that I still had that option when I upgraded my old laptop to Windows 7 Pro. View the thread

  12. I tried to update my Nokia Lumia 900 using the latest version of Zuno. It goes through the entire installation, and at the end I am informed that 'Update Failed, error code 801812C0'. sometime in the update (step 7), the arrow signifying download mode is in a red circle and crossed over. I tried restoring my phone to a previous version. Sometime during the restoration the red circle appears again. If the phone is disconnected from the computer it shows, on the screen of the phone, a laptop and a phone connected by a cable, but without the arrow (Download mode?). Resetting the phone does not work. Restoring again does not work. View this thread

  15. I was trying to fix the windvd.exe from crashing than I find out that I can not continue downloading the windows xp updates, the explorer could not open the web. I got error 0x80240036. When I try to turn off the computer the option, turn off without loading is not avilable, or better , it will not allow updating the windows XP. So: 1. I can not download the updates for Windows XP. 2. The windvd.exe VER 5.0 crashes. 3. May be that is why the InterVideo DVD does not recognise some DVD's. 4. The CD drive no matter how many CD' I try, it prompts me " Insert a CD". I an older Sony Vaio desktop, and I just installed the manufacturers software. I created all these problems. I purcesed the PowerSuite 2012 Golden Edition by Spotmau to fix the Registery. After I run the software all the SystemRestore points where gone, and the Recicle bin was empty. The DVD RW and CD RW drivers where gone but the report was perfect. I think that this softwre is a time bomb for an ignorant like me. Please help. Thank you, Best regards Val View this thread

  18. After i reset my laptop for a windows system update i noticed that a white non-interactive rectangular area appeared on my desktop background, top left of the screen near my program shortcuts. The white area is only there on the desktop, when i have a browser window, video, program or game open (anything really), the white area isn't there. The area can't be right clicked and no shortcuts can be dragged over it or placed where the rectangle is. I may not be explaining this very well and this may not be the best place to ask this, but does anybody know why? It isn't the display or the screen as far as i can tell since it is only present on the desktop, it isn't a real problem, just a strange bug i have never seen or heard of before. I am using a samsung series 7 gamer laptop with windows 7 (64-bit), the problem has only been present since today. I have tried changing the desktop background image (incase it was just something to do with that) and that did nothing, the white area didn't move or change at all. I tried to google this, but all of the searches came up as problems with the monitor or display, which doesn't apply to this as far as i can tell. Any help would be appreciated, i'd also to be curious to know why this happened if anybody knows. Thanks :) View this thread
  19. The security update KB2686509 will not install and the Microsoft &quotFix it&quot program does not work for it. I don't understand all of this faulty keyboard jargon. Do I need to contact someone in tech support and will they charge me? Is there a way to simply ignore this update and tell Microsoft to stop trying to install it? Thank you for very much for any help you can provide to this non expert computer user. View this thread

  22. When I try to search for an application installed on my PC, (by pressing the search charm on the start screen or pressing Windows+Q on the desktop), on the top of the search box appears a message indicating that &quotsearch is not possible in this application&quot. If I write some text in the search box (like 'calc', for example), no application is found. Also, if on the desktop I press Windows+X and select &quotSearch&quot, nothing happens. (Update -- Actually, someting happens, a new Windows explorer process is launched each time I select the &quotsearch&quot option. I end up with many of those processes in the task manager list, apparently doing nothing) But if I use the search feature inside the Windows Store, it seems to work correctly. Only fails when I try to search programs in my PC. I don´t know if this is happening recently or days ago. Any tips? View the full article
  23. Hi, good day! The link to mini dump and memory dump is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp3e1egtojksa6p/memory%20dmp%20and%20minidump.rar Below is additional info: I upgraded my old GPU, MB and PSU about 6 months ago but since then I keep getting occasional crashes and bsod (usually while playing games and watching videos). crashes usually end with the buzzing sound while the screen shows some plain basic colour screen or sometimes even distorted lines, but sometimes gets normal bsod. when it manage to show normal bsod, the message i see most is &quotIRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL&quot These two events may or may not be related to crashes but it may help u to troubleshoot: 1) (happen twice) as soon as it crash with buzzing sound, I hard-reset PC and while waiting, i grab my ipad to play around. But I notice that my iPAD doesn't automatically connect to my WIFI. (normally it does). when I try manually, it fail for a few times before it can connect. doesn't happen other times. 2) (once, today) i was chatting in game (dota 2) and as soon as i press &quotenter&quot it crashes. System spec: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional 64-bit Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. G41M-Combo AMD Radeon HD 7850 4GB RAM1920 x 1080 HP2309m monitor Thanks for your time. I really appreciate it. This crashes have been troubling me for a long time. razefast1 View the full article
