  • How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

    Hi champs,
    Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
    If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
    If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

  • Satellite A300D-205 How to change 32-bit to 64 bit

    Hi!
    I have Satellite A300D-205, with a Windows 7 32-bit on it. I upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows Vista 32-bit by an upgrade DVD from Toshiba
    I need Windows 7 as 64-bit. I have been searching on the net about this, and the only thing I understood, that I should have 64-bit version of Vista. But I bought my laptop with 32-bit Windows Vista and have only Windows Vista RECOVERY DVDs, and the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD.
    How can I change 32-bit to 64 bit
    Thanks for attention

    Hi,
    To be honest, i don't know how you can do it... I don't think, it's possible to get it from Toshiba. I can only recommend you to get Win 7 64 bit to install. For all win7 drivers have a look:

  • How to change Default Finder Windows Size?

    Hi all:
    New Finder windows show Macintosh HD and there is no problem in keeping the size or view options every time I open a new window (command + N).
    I can change "New Finder windows show" to another folder and works just as well.
    But when I open a folder in a new window (double click on an icon folder) the size of the window is very small and different from the window displayed by using command + N.
    Finder saves and applies default view options to all windows without a problem, but not the default size or in other words: 
    default windows size is different from new finder windows size.
    In Snow Leopard I could change default size of all windows holding down the Shift key while dragging and changing the size but in Mountain Lion it does not work.
    I have also deleted all files .DS_Store but neither works.
    I searched a lot but can not find a solution to this problem.
    Thanks.

    As far as New Finder Windows (command+N) are concerned, there's no problem.
    All other folder's Finder Windows I have not modified manually are displayed with the default size shown in the attached image. That is the window size that I want to modify.
    Thanks.

  • HOW TO CHANGE SETTINGS IN WINDOWS 7 TO IMPORT CD'S INTO I-TUNES?

    Please tell me how to configure my Windows 7 settings so that when I play a CD it automatically starts up in I-Tunes.

    I need to know the settings and the code to change
    the password in windows 2000 server.Egads, kind of makes one wonder what in the world you might be up to, doesn't it? I mean, this is your first post on this forum, and you don't ask for help with specific code, just request that someone hand you off some code that may or may be seen as needed to break into a secure system (well, as secure as Windows can be, anyway).
    Anyhoo, if you look at some of the documentation out there, it seems that you need the old password to change an existing password, and a different password to set an existing password. So if you're looking for a way to hack into your sweetie's PC, you're probably out of luck. But if you have a valid reason for doing so, you may be able to use this info to your advantage.

  • How to change gateway in windows 7 from ethernet to usb 4g modem?

    We have a Windows 7 machine that is connected to internet by satelite through ethernet. This workstation also has a USB 4G modem that should be used by a software application. We would like to have all network functionality to go through normal ethernet
    traffic and just 1 software application to use the USB 4G modem. How can we set this so we don't have to disconnect everytime from ethernet when we would like to use the 4G connection by the USB Dongle/Modem??

    Hi GadgetServer,
    If my understanding is right, you want to use USB 4G modem for one software and other network traffic goes by normal Ethernet.
    I think we could add route table if you know the detonation address that the application will visit.
    For more information about adding route table, please refer to the following article.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490991.aspx
    Additionally, we could contact the software publisher to see if there are options to choose the USB 4G modem.

  • How to change used WD windows for BPM process instance?

    Hello SDN!
    We have two BPM processes (A and B) and two WD DC (A and B). Process A uses window from WD DC A, process B uses window from WD DC B.
    We deactivate process A since we need process B to be used and since A and B use the same WebService. But existing instances of process A still using window from WD A. Is it possible to switch instances of process A from using WD window A to using WD window B? And how we can do this?
    Regards,
    Lev.

    Hi Lev,
    Try this:
    Use an exclusive choice in your process. Create 2 Human Tasks after the Choice with these 2 WD Screens (A & B).
    Based on some condition, you can execute either one of the Human Task. Once this branch of the Exclusive choice executes, place an Uncontrolled merge so that the process execution does not wait for the other branch to execute.
    In this way, based on some condition, you can either execute either WD Screen A or WD Screen B without affecting each other.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sid.

  • How  to change default window size?

    I'm using MX 6.0 on Mac... For some reason I can't figure out
    how to change the default window size in the work windows. Every
    time I open a new file to work on it opens to a smaller size than
    the actual page is. When opening pages dozens of times a day, it
    gets annoying to have to resize each time. I'm sure it wasn't
    always like this, but I can't figure out how to change it so the
    default size that it opens to each time is larger.
    Thanks for any help,

    Make sure your entering language and orginal language of the script is same or not.
    utilities -> convert orginal language..
    Procedure if you are using English as entering language:
    Enter script name -> Enter language as DE -> change -> utiliteis -> convert orginal language -> change it DE to EN -> now back and re-enter into script...

  • How to change INSTANCE profile parameter?

    HI,
    How to change INSTANCE PROFILE PARAMETER for permanent???
    any step by step or note?
    Thanks,

    Alf,
    Its is recommended to do parameter changes through RZ10. Check the parameter in RZ11 and if you see a check mark against DynamicallySwitchable, you dont have to reboot else it requires a reboot. All the changes you made through RZ10 is permanent. You can do it through OS level but its not a good practice. If you do it through RZ10 it is logged.
    Thanks

  • Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)

    Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)
    Why use a Virtual Machine: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program.  A VM lets you do that without rebooting your machine. 
    How is it different from Mac Boot Camp: Boot camp allows you to run windows but you must reboot your machine. It is faster and smoother than a VM (and with fullscreen details below), but you have to reboot for each use. 
    Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp
    How do I get Windows in Boot Camp: how-to here:

    Install Win 7 OS:
    Open Virtual Box

    Version: Windows 7 64-bit

    “Create a Virtual Drive Now” option
    File Size: 25 GB should be the minimum selected, I used 25GB because I expect to use the drive to store very little. 
    HD type: VirtualBox Disk Image

    Locate your new VM and click Start (again you will not be able to quit once you start, if you make a mistake continue until the red quit icon appears then remove the VM)
    It will ask you to select the files for the OS.  Select the ISO file, for example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
    Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
    Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
    Note: Screen resolution may be very limited on the virtual machine.  I use resolution 800 X 600 so that all of the desktop is visible. 
    I suggest using a windows gadget to view the CPU and Memory usage > On desktop mac-right-click i.e. separate fingers and click both > Gadgets > CPU Meter
    Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

    I have found a solution to the screen being smaller in the windows 7 virtual machine.  First right-click in the desktop region and select screen resolution.  It is probably set to 800 X 600 by default which is much less than the screensize you are using.  To determine your native screensize, go to your mac and finder > applications > utilities > hardware > graphics displays.  Mine is 1440 X 900 for macbook air.  Then go back into the virtual machine and sceen resolution settings.  Choose a screen resolution which is slightly less in all dimensions so that there is no clipping and you do not have to scroll when viewing.  For me this was 1152 X 864.  Then exit saving changes and with the VM in view press command - F (or at the menu bar View > Switch to full screen), which puts you in full screen mode.  Now you should have a screen with minimal gray empty space filling the majority of your screen

    My problem is that my registry only shows one ORACLE_HOME--the 64-bit full install whereas Cognos reqs to point to 32-bit client. The env/reg variables probably do exist/show, only in the right place. In Win 64-bit, there's a separate branch of reg entries for 32-bit (look for WoW6432Node).

    In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 toOn Windows platform, ORACLE_HOME should not be set by user (it is already set by installer, in the Registry).
    To pick up proper settings, PATH need to be set or used.

    Multiple homes on Windows is often a source of problems, since extra consideration and setup is needed more than just installing the software.
    If "Cognos" relies on system PATH, then one way to go might be:
    - put path to 32-bit Client bin folder first in PATH
    - set up a shortcut to command window with only 64-bit in PATH, for times when you need to administer the database via command line.
