Audio head set - computer will not allow me to access it

My laptop recognises the head set when I plug it in - it correctly identifies it. The head set has a USB connection. Why can I not use the head set to listen to music CDs? The speakers in the laptop are working however I do not seem to be able to override the speakers to use the headset. Only had the laptop a month, first HP computer I hve used, what am I doing wrong? Not a problem I have experienced with other brands. Any information appreciated - for info the laptop is Pavilion dv7, WIndows 7 64 bit.
Thank you

"Set Associations" will not allow Office 2013 Programs / executables to be Associated to a file type

Have Office 2010 and 2013 installed (installing 2010 first, then 2013) and after Windows Update applied Office 2010 SP2 later on, all of my Office file associations (except for Outlook, it points to 2013 as
expected) open up Office 2010 programs. And I'm happy that some programs (Access for example) continue to default to Access 2010.
Ok, so the problem is that for those Office programs that I want to associate to 2013 versions (Excel, PowerPoint & Word as the biggest examples), when I go into "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default
Programs\Set Associations" and pick .doc as an example (I've also tried .xls, .xlsx, .docx) and click on "Change Program", then "More Options", "Look for another app on this PC", and finally navigate to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office 15\root\office15" to double click on excel.exe or winword.exe as appropriate, the selection is ignored (i.e. the icon doesn't change to the Office 2013 style and double clicking on .doc file opens it up in Word 2010).
I do understand there is a "Fix" by either repairing the Office 2013 install or I believe to have seen a Microsoft downloadable fix program, though I do not want to run these as I'm told they will reset
all file associations to Office 2013, and there are still a couple of programs I want to open up in Office 2010, till I get a comfort level with Office 2013. Also realize that once Office 2013 SP1 comes out, it will do the same thing that Office 2010
SP2 did and change the file associations to 2013, whether I want it to or not, hopefully by then I won't have much need for Office 2010.
Also, I find it troubling that the "Set Associations" will not allow me to select specific programs, and I wonder which other File Associations has Microsoft felt appropriate to restrict access.
Look forward to the feedback as it pertains to the above (which I realize is unique to my IT Testing needs).
Thank you,

Hi,
We can try to change the file associate in Registry key:
For all users on this computer, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes.
For current user account, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. If there is no such extension, please create new keys for it.
Hope these could be helpful.

When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Applyand test.
If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

I have a cd of New Yorker magazine cartoons which I got in 2004. It requires adobe 6.0.1 but my computer will not allow me to install that version as it is outdated. I have windows 7. -Bob

I have a cd of New Yorker magazine cartoons which I got in 2004. It requires adobe 6.0.1 but my computer will not allow me to install that version as it is outdated. I have windows 7. How to I get this CD to open? -Bob

If the CD absolutely requires that old version, then it is basically obsolete. However, it might work with the current version ... have you installed the current version of Adobe Reader, and if so what does it say when you try to use the CD?

Computer will not allow me to save/copy images any longer

I've recently switched from a PC to Mac. I am trying to figure out why my computer will not allow me to drag a pic from Safari into a document or folder for me to save. It worked fine for hours today and now whatever I try will not work. I've even switched websites and programs (first tried saving directly to folder and then tried dragging into Word). Could I have possible turned that fuction off? Please help! Thanks

Thanks...that worked! However, can you think of a reason the drag function won't work any longer?

== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrted

Hi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

Input Text will not allow me to access the correct answer!

Hi All
i am trying to create a simple quiz in school. I have one test question which requires the answer to be -1.
I have created Input text and assigned the variable answer for this question.
I have a button with the following AS2 script:
on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
    if(answer eq "-1" or answer eq "minus 1"
       or answer eq "Minus 1" or answer eq "Minus one" or answer eq "minus one")
    {_root.gotoAndStop(2)
    } else
    {_root.gotoAndStop(3)
Firstly whatever you type the numerical keys are immobilised on the keyboard when the .SWF file is built
Secondly I cannot enter the correct answer!! If I type in Minus 1 etc it goes to frame 3.
I have tried flags rather than frame numbers - same problem.
i have tried remaking the quiz as a separate file.
using CS4 and CS5 flash - windows 7 PC.
Please help!!

A: Input Text will not allow me to access the correct answer!

Ned
Thanks for the reply. I had instances for all elements but had code on teh but (Instance Enter). I have tried your code with my instance names. The button is Q1 (I was going to add more if it worked). The vaiable name for the Insert text box is ans1 so I used the code below. I added the code to frame 1 in teh timeline. I think this is what you meant so a frame script as opposed to a buton script. i have always scriped buttons (very simple). I have played around with the trace(); function but i am not sure where to run it from. I have added it to the script below. I tried Q1 which is the button and ans1 (variable). It must be wrong as I cannot see any output. Last thing. Is it not right ot use eq and or?? I am using Actionscript 2.
The disabled keys is the same running the code on my mac and pc!
Q1.onRelease = function() {
    if(ans1.text == "-1" || ans1.text == "minus 1" || ans1.text == "Minus 1" || ans1.text == "Minus one" || ans1.text == "minus one") {
         _root.gotoAndStop(2)
     } else {
         _root.gotoAndStop(3)
trace(Q1);

Having a problem with noises and mouse jumping, tried to reinstall and computer will not allow me to select the correct install icon. Sends me to xcode install

my kids computer began acting up this spring...so I shut it down.
Would not stay turned off, various noises almost continually, jumping highlights, etc.
Decided to reinstall os x snow leopard. insert disc and icon appears. then 3 icons with x in a column.
automatically highlights middle icon and will not allow me to select one above. Says install xcode.
not what i want to do.
any help?

What model iMac do you have?
What version of Mac OS is it running? If you don't know, try to give approximations on when it was set up and whether it was ever updated so we can take our best guess.
How are you trying to boot from the install disc? Your description of 3 icons with x in a column' leads me to believe that you aren't booting from the install disc, but rather you are inserting the disc after booting from the OS that is installed on the hard drive. If that is what is happening you'll see something like this, although it will vary depending on the actual version of the Install Disc that you have and how you've chosen to view the files (icon, list, column, etc).
What happens if you restart the system with the Install Disc inserted, then quickly hold down the 'c' key so that the system attempts to boot from the Install Disc. Do you still experience the same issue?

I can not open anything with out the DEP message coming on. My computer will not allow me to run Adobe Reader.

It's impossible to open any Adobe message without the program shutting down. I've tried to change the DEP but Adobe will not allow it. I can't open anything.

Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Wifi/Internet Connects, but Will not allow me to access certain websites

I have sudden-link 3G/5G wifi personal network at home. It has 50 mbps and I have access to many websites. Now here is the problem, whenever I try to use a search engine, it will not allow me to use it. I have tried using google.com, yahoo search engine, and bing. It will not even allow me to use Facebook. My girlfriend has a lenovo and all of her websites work just fine, even the search engines. So that tells me it is not a network issue, it is a macbook issue. I have looked at many other troubleshoots, tried changing ip addresses and dns server problems and even proxy servers. If anyone has any other troubleshooting tips or any kind of answer to this, then please let me know. It is quite annoying when I try to use a search engine and it won't work.
