Hello @eagle481,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you are using an adapter to attach to your DVI output on your HP Pavilion 500-054 Desktop PC and connecting it to and HDMI cable which you then connect to your projector and the result is the projector flashes on and off, yet when you connect the DVI to a monitor it works fine. I suspect that the issue is not with the computer or its DVI port as it works fine on your monitor. I suspect your issue resides in either the adapter, HDMI cable or the projector. I recommend you try replacing the adapter, then the HDMI cable and try the projector connected to another computer.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Cannot use Remote Desktop host on Windows 8.1 Pro, termsrv corrupted?

Hello,
Few days ago I upgraded my home desktop machine from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Professional so I can use the Remote Desktop feature.
I enabled everything needed, checked "Allow computers to connect to this computer" from the Remote Settings, forwarded the port 3389 in my rounter and allowed it in my firewall etc...
But I still can't connect to this computer from outside my home network or inside it. The error I get trying to connect is this:
(For some reason i still can't post images in this forum...) So I posted a link below to my original thread with the images
I'm trying to connect using a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
After searching around I found out that the service responsible for the RDP is called "TermService", I found it on my services but was unable to start it:
(For some reason i still can't post images in this forum...) So I posted a link below to my original thread with the images
Also, notice the description of the service. So I tried to run a System File Checker on the service's DLL (sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\system32\termsrv.dll) and got this log:

Since it's the first time I use this tool I'm not familiar with this log file, but what I managed to figure out from it is that termsrv.dll is corrupted and windows cannot repair it for some reason.
My question is:
How can I repair this file? Is this even the problem preventing me from connecting to this computer via Remote Desktop?
Here's a link to my original question which contatining the images.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-system/cannot-use-remote-desktop-host-on-windows-81-pro/e4776239-4d9e-4934-ae2d-b87cc09f7ade

managed to figure out from it is that termsrv.dll is corrupted and windows cannot repair it for some reason.
So, the next step supposedly is
using DISM.
Coincidentally I reached that page last night from
this one, which I thought gave me a better awareness of how much manual repair might be possible. E.g. maybe the WinSxS isn't quite as fragile as we are being led to believe? (It's making me feel sort of like how I used to feel about the
registry when seeing all the caveats about using RegEdit before I got used to that tool.)
Advanced guidelines for diagnosing and fixing servicing corruption
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619779(v=WS.10).aspx
Something else that I became aware of yesterday serendipitously is SxStrace.exe. I have never seen it used but it sounds useful. E.g. perhaps easier to interpret for supplemental clues than the ProcMon trace that I usually advocate.
Or perhaps use both and see in ProcMon when the SxStrace is writing. E.g. filter with Operation Is WriteFile.
However, what I would do first is find out what the state of your system is regarding that module. E.g. try this Powershell pipeline to list what you have.
PS C:\windows> dir -R -Fil "termsrv.dll" | sort-object FullName | ft Length, FullName -AutoSize
Note that I am giving you the whole command line, including prompt to show where the command should be started from.
C.f. another thread where doing the same diagnostic procedure seems to be finding more a problem with the Windows Update software than with the user's WinSxS cache.

I have tried and failed to copy my iTunes library and playlists from my Windows 8 desktop to my Windows 7 laptop using an external hard drive. Can it be done? Help would be appreciated. I have followed instructions found online but the library of music doesn't pull in. Thanks!

Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
Debbie

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

My desktop pc runs windows xp which is shortly to be discontinued. my laptop is macpro retina can i get a virus to my mac vis my desktop?

i have a desktop pc running windows xp, shortly i will be losing any future updates including security protection. i am going to purchase a mac pro retina. can my laptop get infected if connected wirelessly to my desktop?

Make sure your router is also up to date. The number of people with out of date routers and firmware isn't as bad as XP users hanging on but does pose problems.
It does not cost much to put together a current Haswell motherboard + cpu + new RAM + SSD for the system (and copy of Windows 8.1+) to be up and running and current - and supported.
Even so, you should be using some 3rd party security product already.

If you want to know the size requirements of .mdf abd .ldf files, since they are parts of SQL database, I suggest you refer to SQL forums below to get more professional support:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlgetstarted
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home
In addition, here are some articles regarding RDS deployment for you:

Desktop Themes on Windows 7 Starter Edition

Can somebody tell me where i can select or change desktop themes for windows 7 starter edition. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Right click on your Wallpaper and go to Personalize. It's pretty straightforward from there.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

When are retirement dates for certification MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7 and MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7?

Hi,
So what's the current situation with the MCIPT certifications in Windows 7?
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7
The certifications had previously been scheduled to retire in July 31, 2013.
Then that deadline was extended and they were due to retire in January 31, 2014
Presently, the certifications are listed on the ever unhelpful Microsoft Learning website
MCITP page and the
windows certifications
page.
In typical Microsoft Learning unhelpfulness there is a bland, confusing and uninformative statement saying
"Most MCITP certifications will be retired by July 31, 2014. Please check the
retired certifications and
retired exams pages for specific retirement dates."
Naturally, Microsoft aren't being specific about which MCITP certifications are being retired.
To be more obstructive and confusing, us poor learners are invited to check the retired certifications page, which only lists certifications that have already retired, for information about when a certification
will retire in the future. I have seen this done repeatedly in this forum and on borntolearn.mslearn.net in reply to questions about future certificate retirement, which is totally useless and perhaps deliberately deceptive, as the exam aren't
being discontinued and there's no info about future certification retirement.
There has previously been actual helpful information on the Microsoft learning webpages with statements explaining that whilst in a transistion between the older style MCITP and newer MCSA certification for Windows 7, that both certification titles will
be awarded until x date, when the MCITP will be retired and the MCSA will be awarded only. I can't see anything like that on the site at the moment.
I'd be most grateful if
anyone can link me to a Microsoft press release / blog / webpage that announced the scrapping of the January 31, 2014 deadline (as I must of missed this announcement)
anyone can give an update on the current Microsoft thinking about when this certificate will retire? Especially any links to announcements.
are both MCSA and MCITP certifications still being awarded?
advise what's the best way of staying up to date with multiple changes to exam and certification retirement announcement? (apart from borntolearn, which is awful and again, just directs back to the retired exams/certifications pages)
Many thanks everybody!

Why choose a near retiring credential ?
* Have ever you applied for a job with keyword requirements ? Employers can be (and have been) insanely specific. (Then again that sort of gatekeeping for employment usually guarantees a fresh batch of pathological liars are your applicants, but I digress.)
* Also could be on a time deadline, e.g. contract bid requires x number of people to be certified, CompTIA requirement deadline could be arriving, and so on.
* Taking 2K08 exams when working in a 2K08 environment is probably easier than jumping into the next version without any access to it (other than building your own virtual servers or labs).
My current employer uses 2K08 not 2K12. There are also 2K03 servers still in production (eventually being phased out).
I don't know what the stats are today but (in 2012) 2K08 was leading over 2k12 in market share.
I thought that's what truly drives these exams' and certification's availability.

Why does Digital Edition not work in desktop mode for WIndows 8?

I have installed the most recent version of JAVA and then downloaded and installed Digital Editions. I can open Digital Editions in desktop mode but when I select a book I cannot turn the page or move to a new page by any means. The only thing that seems to work is to select a new page and then toggle between full screen and partial.

I don't think ADE uses Java at all.
I run it in desktop mode in WIndows 8 and it reads books and turns pages fine: either using the left-right arrow keys,
or clicking on the forward/back buttons each side of the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0, and even though that isn't a bug for me it may be for you.
Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

Did you download it from Adobe or a pop up? If it was a pop up do not open it. Make sure you only get it directly from Adobe here:

There is some malware that poses as Flash, in pop ups.
Then do as macbig explained double click on the file,
After you open and install the .dmg reboot your computer to complete the installation

Desktop Project Warnings window not the best help tool

The Desktop Project Warnings window is saying that I need to provide an audio clip but not showing where. Is there a better way to see what's needed?
So is there a log file window or something like that where I can trace the problem?
Thanks,
Claes

In looking over the help, you are correct that the description of ad types fails to specify that Desktop means iTunes Radio. The inverse, however, is well-documented:
Create an ad for iTunes Radio on the desktop
I would strongly recommend you click the "Send feedback" link on the help page to let Apple know that the help text should be clarified.
Regarding the learning curve, have you watched the iAd Producer presentations from WWDC 2013? They were very helpful to me:

Cisco Desktop Agent\Supervisor & Windows 7 Compatibility

We are on Customer Response Solutions V 5.0(2). In order to install the Desktop Agent on Windows 7 we need to install DA v 7.5(8). We have been told by our VAR that we need to upgrade not only our CRA but also our CallManager to verison 8. This is going to be a big expense especially since we just upgraded four Cisco Servers less than two years ago.
Does anyone have any experience with the Desktop Agent on Windows 7? If so what version works?
Thanks

Hi Sandy,
Here is the page which has the compatibilities listed for Windows 7.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6789/ps7046/ps7282/product_bulletin_c25-563280_ps427_Products_Bulletin.html
Here is the snippet that concerns UCCX. Which is what I think you are running, but you haven't actually stated that.
Version 7.0(2), Q4CY10
Version 8.0(1), FCS Q1CY10
If you upgraded to UCCX 8, you could still keep your CallManager at 7, provided it's on a supported version.
To know that, you need to look at the compatibility guide for UCCX:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
I hope this helps.
