Arabic keyboard issues

0

Hi, we're building some Dell laptops with Arabic keyboards.

They work fine ONCE you've logged into Windows, but typing a "\" at the logon screen is proving "challenging".

Certain users need to log in to xxxxx\username and they can't...

Any ideas how to get a backslash at the logon prompt?

Ta in advance.

[SOLVED] Don't Stick It Here!

Dell Optiplex 745 SFF - Vista Premium SP2

I have a flac file with 18 audio tracks on it. I'm trying to cut them into 18 individual files. I put the entire file into Audacity and copied one track to 'New'.

I tried to export the new single track into the Music folder. I couldn't save the file to the 'Music' folder. I have run into this problem before. Some things I cannot save to the desktop. I am not given a reason. But, I have always been able to save to another location.

This time, I have tried several different locations, and each time I am told I cannot save to that location. I cannot save it to User, Computer, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos, Favorites or Temporary files.

What's going on? I've never not been able to save an audio file somewhere.

How to use your computer as an adapter ?

0
0
Hi,
I have the issue that I'd like to use my mouse on my one plus one (touchcreen isn't responding anymore), but the mouse I have has a simple USB output. Would it be possible to plug the mouse onto the computer and on the other side plug my phone on the computer and combine the two so that I can control my phone with the mouse ?
If you need more information don't hesitate to contact me :)
Thanks !
PS : I can't buy an adapter on amazon or else because I am travelling right now.

Missing "signed device drivers"

0
0
Hi,

For the purpose of being as concise as possible, I will go through my situation in builet points. If you want more details or specifications, simply ask and I will provide.

- I have a Lenovo laptop which came with Windows 8.1

- For various reasons, I recently had to do a hard drive erasure, erasing everything - including the recovery partition.

- I then installed Linux.

- Now I am trying to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 using a bootable USB.

- I get stuck on the installation setup. The error message is "Load Driver: No signed drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."

- I have spent many hours googling and have tried..
* to add the supposed needed drivers as suggested here: boot - Windows 7 install "Load Driver" error, Lenovo laptop - Super User but I am unsure which specific files are meant by "Intel Chipset Driver" and "Intel Management Driver", where specifically to find them, and how specifically to put them in "the root of the bootable USB-device".
* to add USB 3.0 drivers to the USB as suggested here: No Device Drivers were found -Windows 7 Install (from USB) - [Solved] - Windows 7

- The problem still persists however.

I will very much appreciate any help I can get.

Cheers,
Hjörleif

I'm not sure what the actual term for this is but when I alt tab between windows part of the image from the previous window will stick onto the new window for a few seconds and its super annoying because I alt tab like a madman. I'm not sure what the actual term for this is called, I tried googling it but to no avail. I will post an example.

Hi, Let me start by letting you know, I am basically in Pre-K when it comes to computers. :cry: I don't know the lingo or anything about them, so I hope someone with patience can help me.
......Last night, I was playing one of my hidden object games on Big Fish, just like I always do, but this time the screen turned blue, said something about crashing, and then went to the black screen that said safe mode, etc. Today, I have been doing some of my paperwork in Word and I haven't had any issues, but I'm scared to play any games because I'm afraid I'm going to really screw this computer up. Can someone please help me figure out why it's starting to crash when I play games? Thank you bunches!

My computer: HP Intel Core i5-2410 M CPU @ 2.30GHz; RAM 4.00GB; 64 bit operating system; Windows 7 Professional; Service Pack

Dirty Bit Present on C: Drive

0
0
Hello, I am running a Windows 7 machine and am looking to partition my C:.
I went to perform this partition (and the defragmenting prior to it) and am unable to do so as my C: is marked as dirty. I have tried many different variations of fixes involving "chkdsk" in the Command Prompt, but none seem to actually run the chkdsk utility on start up.

Based on what I have read chkdsk only can run if the drive is not locked (in use) but since my laptop boots from the C: that seems impossible to me. I looked into creating a bootable Wondows 7 from an iso file, but that would require me to have another activation key for the OS if I am not mistaken.

For reference this appears when I run chkdsk on my C: drive



I have set chkdsk to run on start up using chkdsk/f and selecting yes, but it never seems to run on start up and the C: is always still makred as dirty.

Thank you for any help.

ships bell sound

0
0
All of a sudden our Windows 7 computer is making a ships bell sound on the hour and on the half hour during the day. How do we stop this? I've gone into the Control Panel and have tested all the sounds - no ships bell is there. This happens whether the computer is plugged in and charging or not, or whether there are other usb ports connected or not.

Outlook 2007 problem

A few days ago I found that I can't now delete emails any more. The only thing that happens is a line is drawn through (as previously, but used to disappear on restarting Outlook 2007). The account is type IMap; another account of type POP is behaving normally. I don't know of anything that has happened to cause this.:cry:

Accessibility functions turn themselves on

I was playing a game, and pressed arrow down to brake (racing game). Suddenly, out of nowhere, the game minimizes. From that moment onward, most of my keyboard keys do stuff they normally don't do. Backspace, delete and enter are disabled. If I try backspacing (to correct a typo for example), a message appears "Press Alt+Left Arrow to go back". It DOES work when naming a file... Arrow down minimizes, and arrow up maximizes active windows. There's even a letter, one I can't mention here for obvious reasons, which shuts down the computer... At some point, a window opened called "ease of access... it had functions for narrating text on screen, which it suddenly started doing... I am desperate, as my computer is not working at all like this and I have no way of disabling these unwanted functions. This has happened to me before, and no one managed to help me then... the problem vanished by itself after two weeks. I cannot afford to wait this long. Oh, and in Control Panel, ALL options for easy of access are already disabled.

How to Auto-Match Language Bar Based on Website Visited?

0
0
Hello,

I have multi-lingual keyboard in Windows 7. I am looking for a way to have OS typing language switched depending on what website is being visited or even what software is being run.

For example, when surfing websites, if website is in Russian, the language bar switches from English to Russian. Ditto for English website, should I surf website in English after I have surfed Russian. This functionality should work even when switching tabs too.

Does anyone know if there's something that accomplishes this or can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Side by Side error while starting game

Hey Guys,

I have been trying to start an online game, but everytime i run it i get an error.
In the error it states that: the program cannot start because the side by side configuration is unvalid..

things i've tried and did not work:
- Reinstalling all microsoft visual ++
- Contact microsoft --> In the end they told me to install a program called reimage (cost me 25 bucks..?). Then i had to read on this forum that the software is actually installing malware on your PC? Still not sure if its true o rnot, but it was stuck on 80% in the end and it didnt finish even after 4 hours.

More important information: The PC is just new. Bought it off amazon a few days ago and it arrived today!

Is there anyone who can help me out? I cannot find a solution for this Side by Side error..


Thanks in advance!
