Hey guys, First of all I'm going to start by saying that I'm not really a Windows related man so please explain everything step by step. The problem I had today was that I couldn't rotate some of my photo's. This was 'solved' because I went searching on the mighty Google and I found a forum on...

In the latest Windows 10 preview release, we added support for media capture APIs in Microsoft Edge for the first time. This feature is based on the Media Capture and Streams specification, developed jointly at the W3C by the Web Real-Time Communications Working Group and the Device APIs Working...

Just to be clear, it's not one of those usual things. I got Win 7 Home Premium. CMD, Task Manager, all exe files and GPEdit works fine. Everything works fine actually - exept regedit just does not respond. I have Nod32 and my PC is virus / malware free. All I want is just access to registry...

This problem appeared on my brother's computer, I'm not sure when. On his Child account he can not access certain secure connections, however, on the Admin account I have set up, I can. There is obviously either a problem with the account or a problem with the Family Safety settings, though...

Hey guys, I got a problem with my laptop. My old laptop crashed some weeks ago. It doesn't work anymore if I press the power button. So I took the hdd and connected it with desktop-pc to rescue the data. I had to get the rights for the user folder and windows got it automatically for me. But now...

I have a desktop system that had WinXP on it. I bought a copy of Win7, put the install CD in the drive, and booted. After waiting a long time(*), it finally booted and offered me a choice: Upgrade Complete install I'd swear I chose fresh install, but when it finished installing all my user...

Well, my nephew dropped his laptop with win 7 (Dell) and their software/recovery stuff is cr*p (you don't get an actual windows disk when you buy the product - thanks Dell!) and it won't boot so I tried to help him recover gigs of music etc from the "bad disk". Using win 8.1 I was able to buy...

When i change the 'max usage' setting in 'System Protection' to 5% from 50% then press 'Apply' and 'OK', and when i come back later i see that it has changed itself back to 50% again. Why wont it save the settings?

Made an account just for this. I randomly got a BSOD while my computer was on, but I was not using. I restarted the computer (as prompted) and attempted to access the dmp file; however, upon doing so, I am told that access is denied and I do not have permission to retrieve the file. I went into...

I have a laptop running Vista and my husband's pc runs Windows 7. We can access the files on the laptop from the pc but get 'access denied' if we try to access files on the pc from the laptop. We appear to have all the same network and sharing settings so what do we need to do?

Is there any common way to lock the key bindings for a program? The trouble is, I have a PC game which I use often and my younger brother constantly changes the Key Bindings and doesn't revert them back when he's finished playing. So is there any possible way to lock these Keybindings so that...

My proxy settings are blocked and i cant change them, im using the administrator account in that computer. This fix is often recommended: If this issue is for all users go here: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel DWORD: Proxy (Change from 1 --> 0) DWORD...

Hi everyone, wanted to ask the windows guru here on how to perform something.. I remember in the windows XP days, you can use regedit to prevent access to the network properties for your local network adapters (say for example, to prevent users from messing with the ip addresses and so forth)...

Even though I am a member of the Administrators group, when I try to create a symbolic link I get the message: "You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation." In Windows7 I am also a member of Administrators and have no problem creating symbolic links. Does anybody have any...

Hi, Newbie to the forum, here. I write small programs for myself and friends. One of them I have just completed - which works fine on several computers - installs itself in the 'Program Files (x86)' folder. However, on my friend's computer (Win7), when it tries to access and/or create a...

Hey guys, My windows had crashed pretty bad and since it was cluttered anyway, I decided to make a clean start. since I just bought a new harddrive it seemed like the perfect moment anyway. So I installed Windows 7 to the new harddrive, leaving the old one with windows and everything, and after...

Hi, Sys: Windows 8.1 Pro clients attached to MS 2003 server domain. (yes I know its best to have a higher win server version with 8.1, but i do not have that currently) Ok, so the problem is that roaming profiles and folder redirection work but on only SOME of the windows 8.1 clients!!!! How...

I had a look at all my files and folders on my data partition (not win7 system partition!) and found a lot of different file and folder owners e.g. Administrators Peter S-1-5-21-1078081533-1326574676-725345543-1005 .... I am not sure why one *.pdf file has a different owner than its neigbourgh...
