Hi, Ive just changed my router (as I moved to fibre broadband), and since then my Epson BX630FW does not appear to work on my daughters Windows 7 Laptop. The printer and the Laptop are connected to the same router. Ive even uninstalled the printer and tried to re-install, whereupon the Epson software fails to find a printer. The printer however works just fine on my own iMac, and iPad, no reconfiguration was needed so I know its visible on the LAN. Ive even fully disabled the Windows firewall on the Laptop. There are no other firewalls running that I can find. View the thread

I am trying to install through Windows Update "Update for Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 KB2769166 which shown as an important update but it keeps failing and is driving me mad. I have been researching this, and have run the System Update Readiness Tool which shows that all is OK. I have also run the Windows Update Troubleshooter but still no help. All I can think of doing is to hide the update, but this is wrong as it is an important update. Why does it keep failing and how do I resolve the problem. I am using Windows 8 and all other updates are just fine. Keith View this thread

I am unable to open Photos that are supposedly included in e-mails I receive. The word Photos is shown to the right of the sender's name and e-mail address at the top of the page. When I click the word, an area opens that shows several file areas with the file Photos checked. Other files are documents, pictures and music. In the body of the e-mail, sometimes there are boxes with an X in the top left corner that do nothing when clicked. There are no download boxes to be clicked. Sometimes, as well , when the word Photos is clicked, a paper clip shape appears that does nothing when clicked as well. Thank you for any help. Gotta know. View the thread

I have a Toolbar that I wrote years ago. The toolbat is activated as I logon by the registry, however under Windows eight, the taskmgr is not activated, when I request it. I am told the requested operation needs elevation. I presume the error is referring to privileges. When I run the toolbar with privileges everything is ok. What I an asking for is a place in the registry that will run the toolbar, when I login - with privileges. Alternately, does anyone know how to turn on privileges in code?

I have searched no one has asked yet. I have read the large threads on the subject. My key supplier (major name in UK) are saying less and less models are left that come with Win7. Also that I can not downgrade Win8 EOM therefore my only option is to buy Win8 volume licencing! I know I could buy a fix tempted to ask them to pay for it. There is the open source fix but do I want a 1000 PCs that one day stop because MS send out a patch combating the fixes. Thanks Gary No one needs the headaches this has brought to business users.

I was wondering if there was any way to create a desktop shortcut to emulate the Windows Key on a keyboard? I am running Windows 8 and there are times I am in the Desktop mode and want to go to the Start screen, without the use of the keyboard and the pop up does not appear. I wanted something Solid that I could Pin to the task bar, making it easier to switch screens. I think this would make my life on Windows8 easier. Let me know if you have any answers.

I have had more than one call recently where the caller says he is ringing from Windows to address a problem. I have not reported a problem so I have either said I will await a communication by email or post from Windows, or that there is no problem. I find this unnerving I am on TPS, have caller display [no number is ever left] and do not wish to be approached like this. I would like to know if these calls are genuine and if not how did they get my details? S Gillian Watson {Mrs} View the thread

We recently purchased a computer (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E430) with Windows 7 through NewEgg. When I have tried to perform Windows Updates, it always comes up with around 54 failures. The errors found lists: Code 643 Windows Update encountered an unknown error. -Windows can't update important files and services while the system is using them. Save any open files, and then restart the computer. Is there any way to see what files/services they are so that I can try to stop them from running and perform the updates? Or do we think this computer is messed up and that I should send back? View this thread
