Desktop themes don't work in Windows 7

Just loaded Windows 7 under Bootcamp. Desktop themes don't work. The choices offered in the Control Panel just don't take when I click on them. I'm stuck with a plain black desktop. What gives? Graphics seem ok but maybe I'm missing something.

  • Does Palm Desktop 4.1.1 work on Windows 8.1/64 bit?

    Have never posted on a forum before so a bit nervous - but desperation needs must!
    Have followed closely replies to other queries on this Palm forum (and the wonderful work which Wyrenut, SMKranz and many others do - well done chaps!). However can't quite locate the answers that I'm looking for. So please help if you can! Here goes:
    Current situation: running PD 4.1.1 on Windows XP/32 bit. Handset is TungstenT which is limping badly and only rarely synced with. So it is the Desktop which is most important.
    Migrating to Windows 8.1/64 bit and would like to continue using 4.1.1. Will it work? Any major downsides if it does? Will it sync with the handset if it is ever required - by bluetooth or usb (with the hep of those Acerca drivers)?
    If 6.2. is the only option for  8.1 which format should I export Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and memos in?   PD 4.1 offers, in addition to the default, several other possibility(csv, text, tab, vcard). Confused about which one is best
    Any help you can give would be most gratefully received. Thanks

    xenssa,
     Palm Desktop 4.1 does work on Windows 8/64 bit.
    I have not updated to 8.1
    If I was to buy a new PC with Win 8.1 I would try Palm Desktop 4.1
    I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I have a Zire 72.
    I do a USB HotSync using the Aceeca driver.
    When you install the Palm Desktop software skip check the internet for updates step.
    I have my Windows UAC (User account Control) set to Never Notify.
    I set the Palm Desktop/ Properties/Compatibility to  Run this program as administrator.
    To make Palm Desktop "Run as Administrator" every time in Windows 8/8.1:
     Close Palm Desktop, if open. (This is a very important thing to always do when using Palm Desktop, it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
     Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location".  You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
     Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties.  Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
     At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox:  "Run this Program as Administrator".  Put a check in the box, then click OK  to close the window.
    I use the Import Export feature in Palm Desktop to Backup my Calendar and Contacts and save in my Dropbox.
    I use .dba (Calendar) and .aba (Contacts) formats.
    I use PD 4.1 with Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.
    I can create a PD Backup on any of these PCs and import it into another PC.
    Make sure to select all Contacts before you backup, only the highlighted contacts will be exported.
    I use the vCard format to move Palm contacts to my Gmail contacts

  • ITunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit

    iTunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit. I tried to uninstall and install the package according to Apple support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) but still the same problem. I even tried to stop the Bonjour, it didn't help either. When I try to run either iTunes or Quicktime I get a Windows error message "iTunes has stopped working", with details like this:

    Taken as a whole, the symptoms suggest that another application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • HP CM1312MPF drivers don't work via Windows 7 but works fine via Linux dual booting

    HP CM1312MPF drivers don't seem work using Windows 7 (64-bit) .  Original HP drivers CD now lost. Current drivers were downloaded from HP's website. (This webpage has a number of drivers and most 64-bit ones have been tried. Prior to my Windows re-install, the machine printed and scanned satifactoralily in Windows 7. One day this O/S refused to boot and had to be fully re-installed. The reinstall has been tried on both a SSD and on a HDD. (I have 3 x HDDs and 1 x SSD in this Desktop system. and I dual boot Windows7 and Linux Mint with data on its own HDD.) No attempt has yet been made to scan after this Windows re-install, as I have a separate photo scanner.  I mainly wish on the to print on CM1312MPF, however it did scan perfectly well prior to the reinstall of Windows. THE CM1312MPF PRINTS FINE VIA THE SAME USB OUTPUT LEAD (AND POWERED HUB) AS VIA LINUX MINT 17 (PETRA)  when I dual boot and without any PHYSICAL CHANGES between changing O/Ss. It must be a driver problem, surely, mustn't it? I look forward to your help. John_of_Penrith

    You can also disable that windows wireless "Critter" from device manager and it shouldn't ever again show-up in your adapter list. Thanks for the lesson. I too have wondered about the windows virtual adapter and what it's for. I never had it show-up in my adapters though in the network and sharing center. That was strange that it happened to you. I also occasionally just go to device manager and reload the adapter that came with laptop-not the windows one. It
    seems to keep it running fairly well since there have been no new drivers for it. I think it was an experiment or something called the DW1501 Wireless half-mini n that came with my Dell Inspiron N7010 laptop. I don't particularly like it as compared to the other wireless adapters in my home, this thing is slow on downloads, but I don't want to bother to get a new adapter.
    Anyhow thanks for the interesting lesson.

  • In app purchases don't work on windows app

    Hi,
    I've just put my app online in the Windows Store. (Invader Magazine)
    Everything works great, exept one thing. My in app purchases don't work. I think i've done everything right.
    I followed exectly these steps:
    - Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store
    - In my Dev windows account I've made an in app purchase for each folio
    - I published my folio's wat the same product ID as V31 en set the status on public, retail.
    I have done all these steps, but my app is empty, I see no folio.
    I can only see the folio's when I publish them en set the status on public, free.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi,
    In-app purchases on Windows work differently than on iOS. You shouldn't be making in-app purchase entries for each folio in your Windows Store listing.
    See Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store for complete details on how in-app purchasing is different on Windows, and how to set it up correctly in the store. Once you have your consumable in-app purchase entry created for your store listing you'll need to request an updated custom viewer that incorporates that Windows Store product ID, then resubmit the app to Windows for approval.

  • Latest Toshiba 3G drivers & Wireless Manager don't work in Windows 7?

    Hi all,
    I've installed, uninstalled, and re-installed the latest Toshiba 3G drivers and Toshiba Wireless Manager software for my NB200-123 netbook, and they don't appear to work in Windows 7.
    When I start the Toshiba Wireless Manager software now (version 6.3.1.101), it starts for a split second, then Windows 7 immediately pops up a dialog box saying:
    "Wireless Manager has stopped working"
    (I used to have the older XP drivers partly working, though they had the problem that if you hibernated the netbook, the next time you opened the Toshiba Wireless Manager software, it would freeze at the point where it said, "opening driver", and it would never come back)
    I've currently got the following versions:
    Toshiba F3507g Mobile Broadband Device - (from Toshiba) version 4.54.7103.1, dated 26/6/2009
    Toshiba F3507g Mobile Broadband Network Adapter - (from Ericsson) version 1.0.0.52, dated 29/7/2009
    Has anyone else managed to get this working on their NB200-123 with Windows 7? I'm wondering if I have a bad driver version somewhere?
    I can't imagine that Toshiba would have rolled this out without testing it, so I must have something misconfigured somewhere.
    Best
    Rob

    Ok, this does appear to be related to some kind of failed access to a .NET library. Whenever I try to launch any of the Toshiba applications, it fails immediately, and I get the following Application Event error in the event log. Note that the reference is to CLR20r3, which has to do with .NET I understand. mscorlib, referenced below, is definitely a .NET library.
    Now, I know that this is supposed to be running on .NET 3.5 sp1, but I'm on Windows 7, and that includes .NET 3.5 sp1, and furthermore I've run tests on the OS to determine the .NET version(s) installed, and I've definitely got .NET 3.5 sp1 installed. So why am I getting this error?

  • F11 Recovery don`t work - error Windows failed to start

    After downloading MS updates don`t work administrator password. I try F11 Recovery and see black screen: windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause ...
    File: \windows\system32\winload.efi
    status: 0x0000001
    Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required is missing or contains errors.
    ?Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    1) Maybe I misunderstood something, but I thought that the function f11 restores preinstalled Windows from the hidden partition on the disk.
    2) I created a boot disk with Windows 8 Pro on USB and tried to boot from it through Boot manager. Beyond the first installation screen did not go.
    3) As for your advice to contact the dealer, so I did yesterday. The tablet was taken away for examination by 20 days...
    It's very sad, it was a gift to my father for Christmas.
    I work for a long time as the system administrator and am dealing with HP servers. It is a pity that such a reputable company can not provide the quality of their tablets. 
    I advised my daughter Windows tablet, but she wished to have iPad. Now I see that she was right - a year she has no problems with it. Windows tablet - this is not the best choice for a child or an old man.

  • Standard Domain Accounts don't work with Windows 8.1 Pro

    I have AD running on Server 2012 with Windows 7 systems. I recently purchased a few Windows 8.1 laptops that I connected to the domain. They are fully updated to the latest windows 8.1 version, and all security updates are installed. 
    When I log in as an domain administrator user, then I can log in. No problems.
    However, when I log in as a standard domain user, it signs me off immediately. It says 'Welcome' .... 2 seconds pass... 'Signing Out' and I'm back to the login page. I tried this with Windows 8 systems, and it works but as soon as it is updated
    to Windows 8.1, I start having this problem. 
    Event Viewer does show some errors when a standard domain user logs in. 
    9009 - Desktop Window Manager - The desktop window manager has exited with code 0xd00002fe
    Then,
    4006 - WinLogin - The Windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name: . Command line parameters: C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe
    1542 - User Profile Service - Windows cannot load classes registry file. Detail - The system cannot find the file specified.
    I installed Windows 8 Pro using the Dell CD that came with the laptop. I updated to Windows 8.1 using windows store, and then windows update for the latest windows 8.1 update.
    I have searched these forums, and made sure that winlogon executable is correct. I have recreated the user profile. I have tried multiple accounts and while they work on Windows 7, and windows 8, they fail on all windows 8.1 laptops. 
    Please assist. Thank you

  • Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) - Fingerprint and webcam don't work on Windows 7

    I am using a Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) and have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
    However the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility and Chicony Web Camera Assistant Software both don't work. I have checked and there are no new updates on the Australian website.
    Can you please help me out with these two issues?

    Hi Boarder
    Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried the Vista drivers and the US Toshiba page, unfortunatley neither work.
    I went to the Upek website for the bio finger print software which is two fold over the latest version supported by Toshiba for Vista. I'll wait to see if Toshiba bring out a version for Win7 as the one I downloaded is limited, otherwise I am happy to pay approx $15 for the full version.
    I really need the webcam to function though. I think the driver is ok, just need the sofware to run the inbuilt camera.
    Cheers

  • 2 Questions - Vertical Menus don't work on Windows but work on Mac

    I have made a horizontal menu with vertical drop downs. Then drop down menus work properly in all "mac" browsers, (Google Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Safari) but they don't work at (drop down) all on my pc laptop using the same browsers. (Google Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Safari)
    Why would they work on one platform and not another? Is there something I can add to my source to fix this?
    Also the menu is located above a flash image and on the PC the menus go behind the flash animation instead of on top. It drops down over the flash animation in the mac browsers but not the pc browsers. The Z Index is set to 1000 so that should be correct. Any ideas what's up?
    Also, what would be an inexpensive or free menu creator tool to replace Menu Machine? Does Dreamweaver CS4 have a simple menu creator?

    So why does the menu appear above the flash animation in all mac browsers and not in Windows browsers?
    It's caused by different browsers on various platforms giving a higher priority to flash objects.  Also different among update levels within same browsers.  For example,  Firefox.3.0, Firefox.3.6... Safari 3.0, 3.1, 4.0...
    What is "jQuery Cycle" and how do I use this instead of flash?
    jQuery is a common JavaScript library.  Cycle is a plug-in for making images fade in/out, etc...  See the demos.

  • [Solved]Desktop-Terminals don't works

    Hi
    I use often desktop-terminals like gnome-terminal or konsole. Since friday no one works. if I start a desktop-terminal, the cursor appears, but I can't type anything and the prompt don't appears. I use the zsh with the configfiles from the grml-project(http://grml.org http://www.laber-land.de/2008/11/13/kur … att-bash/), but it don't work with the bash, too.

    Another idea: maybe they can't spawn their own pseudo-ttys? This would explain why you can log in after boot and run x and at the same time can't run terminal emulator. Is there some hint in your logs? A simple test also would be to log in console with x still running with some terminal emulator and issuing "w" command to see if somebody is logged-in on some "pts/0" or something terminal. If it's not then we have our suspect. If it is—maybe then it's authorization problem.

  • Satellite A500 - Flash Cards don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E. Recently I did an upgrade from Vista to Win 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then did the upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade assistant.
    I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to enable/disable features..
    I have tried downloading the VAP and running it. I have also tried the Start->Toshiba->Utilities->Restart Flash Cards. Neither of these have worked even after a restart...
    Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do next?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value Added Package, you should also (re)install Flash Cards Support Utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is necessary to get them working.
    You can download it on official Toshiba website:
