Hi,
Can you find MSPaint.exe in C:\WIndows\System32 folder?
If you can, please right click it and select “create shortcut”. Then paste the shortcut in  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories folder.
Regarding the volume control, do you mean you cannot see it in the notification area?
Try restarting the computer, if the icon still not appear, you can access it through deleting two subkeys
IconStreams and PastIconsStream from registry.
For more information, please see:
System icons do not appear in the notification area in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 until you restart the computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945011
And you can run SFC to fix missing system files run system restore to the point when everything works fine.
SFC:
Start>type CMD in the search box>right click CMD and
Run as administrator>type the command: sfc /scannow.
System restore:
Start>type System Restore in the search box>click
System Restore>Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your computer.
Hope this helps,

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.

  • How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro 13" in January 2012. Unfortunately, I did not purchase Apple Care. My trackpad seems to have taken on a life of it's own. I'm guessing this is due to a swollen battery. How can I find out what kind of battery my computer uses in order to buy a replacement?

    Hello all,
    I cannot find (see) the Data Control Accordion, I just installed the Jdeveloper 11g (Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.2.0) - November 2009) from this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft11.html
    I started a new ADF BC application, but I cannot find the data control accordion to drag and drop the components I created in the application model. Is there anything I must do after installation (post installation), is there any libraries need to be installed? Please, I need a help to create my application, I’m totally stuck, many thanks for any help.
    Kind regards,

  • Creative Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX: How can I find a new remote control & spare satellite(s)?

    Hi all,
    For years, we have owned and used one remarkable speaker set from Creative:
    The Creative Megaworks (Cambridge Soundworks) 250D 2.1 THX-certified speakers!
    I have no complaints. The sound this small 2.1 set produces is amazing! The 300 watts (RMS) power can shake the whole house - x50W + 2x75W are more than enough! Movies, music, games, everything sounds great - bass is deep and clear, mid-range is good, high frequences are clear! There's no noise and no distortion (I have connected the system to an SPDIF digital connector on my sound card), the Signal-to-Noise ratio is 99 dB, and the frequency response of the set is extremely good, too!
    But I have a problem, now. We have broken, by accident, one of the satellites. Now I have only one satellite, and the bass/amplifier with the remote control... Looks like a . system... ;-)
    This system was a present for us. Maybe we were lucky, but I am very happy with the build quality of this Creative spaker set. Until we have broken one of the satellites ourselves, yesterday, everything was OK, and the sound it produced was amazing all these years...
    I tried to contact a Creative representative, asking if we can maybe order one (or two) spare satellites fot this set, but the only reply (up to now) was:
    "You are out of warranty period. Buy a new speaker set."
    Well, we could, I guess...
    But:
    First: Creative does not have (at present) a similar model, 2.1, THX certified, with digital (SPDIF input), 300W+ RMS, 99 dB Signal-to-Noise.
    Second, to throw away such an amazing set just because there's one satellite broken? That would be such pity! :-(
    I'd like to buy one (or two) new 250D satellites. I was thinking even that, in the worst case, I can maybe try to order 2 satellites from a Creative Gigaworks S750 set. They have very similar characteristics, 70W rms power, 8 ohms, so maybe this'll work. I was trying to check today if two satellites can be ordered, but with no luck up to now... :-(
    Does anyone have any similar experience? What do you do if you accidentally have broken up one satellite from a 2./5./7. expensi've speaker set? Should you throw away the whole set? Try to find similar satellites?
    I hope Creative support will help, but I don't have much hope, at present...
    Does anyone have experience connecting an S750 satellite to a 250D system? Can I expect any problems? Or it'll work?
    Finally, just one more question:
    The remote control.
    Currently, the remote control unit on our 250D model works OK. But I am a bit worried, if anything happens, that the speaker set can become useless. So I'd like to order one spare new remote control for this model, just in case. Can someone help?
    Maybe, even if this speaker set is not produced anymore, a new remote control can be ordered from Creative?
    I'd really like to make these 250D speakers produce great sound again!? I am a big Creative fan and Creative 250D 2.1 THX is one of the best sound systems I have ever owned (or heard) and I'd like to do everyting to fix things up...
    Thanks for all the help!
    Cheers! :-)
    PS The satellites of the 250D look very much like these. But these Cambridge Soundworks satellites are more powerful (20W RMS); I was even thinking to order a pair of them, but not sure if they'll fit well. Maybe a pair of S750 satellites (70W RMS) is a better idea? But in any case, if I can find a new pair of satellites, what to do with the remote control?... Please, help!

    After exchanging several messages with official Creative Support, I feel a bit disappointed... For years, I have believed that Creative is a company that makes amazing audio products. They probably still do, but now that I am a customer who owns an expensive product of theirs, but with expired warranty, they don't want even to suggest a solution that can work for both parties!
    Why is Creative Support so un-supportive? :-( I am still a Creative customer, after all, right?
    My communication with Support went nowhere. After it was established that our 250D system is out of warranty period (it is only 2 years, btw), they refused to sell me a replacement satellite (even if they still may have some left in stock, for such cases)!
    Finally, I found S700 satellites on ebay and I hope that 2 of them will fit well with the 250D system. Impedance of 250D satellites is 8 ohms (S700 satellites are 8 ohms, too), power is almost the same (250D satellites are 75W rms, and S700 are 70W rms), Signal-to-Noise of both systems is 99 dB, and frequency response is similar, too (250D satellites should be around 50Hz - 8 kHz, I think, and S700 should be around 50Hz - 20 kHz).
    Well, my final 'point of worry' was that if anything happens with the remote control, we won't be able to switch on/off the system, even if the sub/amplifier works. So, I tried to ask Support just to sell me one new remote control, if they can. To sell, not to give for free, mind this! ;-)
    They refused!
    My e-mails are either left un-answered, or the only kind of reply I get is 'We can offer you 10% off our new products'. Well, I don't want to buy a whole new expensi've system, if I can just get 1-2 replacement parts for my old one, and have it working for years! :-)
    (Imagine you buy an expensive DSLR camera, you break the LCD screen, and imagine how Canon or Nikon refuse to sell you a replacement LCD, because you're out of warranty! I can't imagine that!)
    Well, with Creative it looks like this works only this way: Buy a new system. While speaker system is within its warranty period, Creative may replace defecti've and/or broken parts. Once system is out of warranty period, you can simply throw the system away, as Creative will not sell you replacement parts, no matter how politely you ask (and no matter if such parts are available at Creative or not)!
    I hope I will be able to use our 250D system for some more time (after the satellites arrive). I don't know how I can find a new remote control, just to be on the safe side.
    And I am not sure I will buy Creative product next time. I will carefully look around and maybe will pick up a product from a company which will offer me not only warranty support, but out-of-warranty support, too. That would be wise.
    I like how the high-end Creative speaker systems sound. I simply cannot understand how this company can be successful, if they make such great products, but then refuse to help its customers, when they have problems... :-(

  • Where can I find more information on Control and Simulation Software?

    Where can I find out more information on Control and Simulation Software for G (GSIM)?
    I am currently programming a PID controller using a Siemens PLC. I have installed LabVIEW DataLogging and Supervisory Control Module which allows LabVIEW to interface with my PLC.
    Would appreciate if you could offer me some advice on whether it would be possible for the PLC PID controller to control a first order process model created using GSIM? Please email me at [email protected] if you could offer me any advice or assistance.
    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
    Best regards

    I see that you posted to the DSC forum, but you did not get GSIM information. Below is the link for the user manual for the Control and Simulation Toolkit. It is the single best source for info on the toolkit.

  • My iphone 4S doesn't show the volume controls when playing videos and the speakers don't sound. But if I plug in the earphones then I can hear fine and the volume controls appear on screen. Please someone help.

    After a week or so of installing IOS 7 now I having this problem, the speakers don't work for videos, music or apps sounds, but they work fine for using the speaker phone. It's definitely some software issue as the volume control appears when i plug in the earphones, but disappears when unplugging them, same happens with the volume buttons on the side, they don't work when trying to use the speakers, but the work when using the earphones. Please help if you have a workaround for this. I don't want to carry my earphones all the time to listen to videos and music.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • Can't find photoshop free trial download on mac computer

    Hello! My Photoshop Free Trial appears as "downloaded" but I can't find it on my Mac computer, I also downloaded the Free Trial for Lightroom and I had no problem with that, please help!!

    I do not have any familiarity with Macs, but is there anything in the way of a downloads folder?  That would normally be a default location.

  • I can't find purchase add-ons file in my computer so I can't import it to Lr. I try using Adobe Extension but it still not working.

    it shows in creative cloud that it has been installed but I can't find the file in download folder or anywhere else. What should I do to install this in my Lr.
    I try Adobe Extension but didn't work too.

    We have identified a lag in obtaining products on Windows machines whereby a reboot is necessary to kick-start the product installation. We are investigating this. For Lightroom products, it is best to use only the CC Desktop App - available from http://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud, rather than Extension Manager.
