No Control Panel? Windows 8.1

Hey,
I just upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64bit but i don't get the option to install the control panel.
Sound card: PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series
I installed these drivers:
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium stuurprogramma (for windows 8.1)
Creative ALchemy 1.45.01
On windows 7 64bit i didn't have this problem.
I just had to install this driver:
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium stuurprogramma 2.17.0008
And during the installation i got the option to install like 8 different programs to install for my soundcard including the Control Panel wich i pretty much only care about
For the windows 8.1 driver i got the option to only install 3 programs in installed them all but no control panel.

Hi dylan1990,
You may want to reinstall the drivers again. From the details section, it did mention that the driver includes Creative Audio Control Panel in Win 8.1.
Hope the suggestion works for you.

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

Why do I have 2 versions 15.0.0 and 15.0.1 of FireFox in my control Panel Window Vista x86?

I noticed that I have 2 different versions of Firefox 15.0.0 and 15.0.1 in my Control Panel in Window Vista. Before I do anything, I need to know why do I have 2 Firefox in my system and how did it happened. Is it safe for me to uninstall the old versions? If so, how? I am a beginner, not expert on computer.
Thank you,
Sue

Just to let you know when I reinstalled the program no information was lost. all of my settings are the same including the home page.

Undoing iCloud Control Panel Windows XP Workaround

At least 3 sites discuss the same procedure to to make iCloud Control Panel for WIndows run under Windows XP.
I followed the directions and discovered that the resulting code didn't work for wireless printing from iPad to my Brother HL5370DW printer. It crashes the printer, which must be shut down and restarted.
How can I back track and remove the changes made to iCloud.msi making it a modified iCloud?
Changes made: VersionNT>=600 changed to VersionNT>=200.
Rerunning iCloud.msi did not produce table with VersionNT and its value 200. Instead it shows VersionNT and in the next column 'VersionNT not supported'.
Help appreciated

Icloud control panel Windows XP

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to connect my iPhone 4s to iCloud through my Windows XP computer? What I find at Apple is a control panel for Windows Vista or Windows 7, which I do NOT have. I want to download/upload pictures using PhotoStream.

Uniquer2, Just want to give you a huge thanks as people like you make communities slay alive. You made it possible to run it on win xp. thanks!! I did you last suggestion but only downloaded the 32 bit versions of the files, ran the icloud.msi and everything is working! THANKS!!
DOOOHHHHH!!!! I didn't realize it only syncs with Outlook 2007. I am still on 2003, I am poor. Wonder what I can find out there from FOSS which is like Microsoft Outlook. Thunderbird? Maybe there is a way to sync it somehow with my Gmail online? Who knows, just want to make sure I have my 2,000+ contacts backup'd up in multiple places as a fail safe. Been collecting em since I got a Palm Pilot back in 1997!! Everything is still with me, LOL. (It was a biiiatt**** going from Palm Sync to Outlook let me tell you, then into iPhone BUT well worth it.)

WoW Control Panel Windows 8

Im not able to start the control panel for my WoW headset. I have Windows 8.1. I have tried starting it in compatible mode, doesnt work. I have restarted my computer more than 800 times since I installed the software. The headset works, but the control panel doesnt. This is the EXACT error message im getting:
I have no other choices other than clicking OK or the X. That closes the control panel in the background. I can't install a new firmwire version because "it doesnt detect any headsets". This is ridiculous.

HoverCatz:
If you have WinRAR, WinZip, or the 100% free 7-zip, try this: download the WOW headset drivers latest version. Right click it and extract the files to a folder on your system and give that folder an easy to remember name.
Uninstall everything related to the WoW Headset completely. Reboot.
Install the headset again exactly as the documentation states, except when windows sees the USB device, let it install its built in drivers (if it has built in drivers, which windows 8 probably does). Reboot, and dont touch anything else before rebooting.
After reboot, go to device manager, find the WoW headset entry. Choose to update driver and Browse my computer option:
Browse to the driver sub folder in the folder that you extracted the Creative files to. It should install the Creative driver (look for an .inf to be sure this is a driver folder). Reboot. Try running the Creative installer again and it should now see the WoW headset as a compatible device. The Creative driver and the WoW software suite should now install fine.

Icloud control panel (windows PC) won't log in

Hi,
I am trying to log into the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC. I always get an error that says "You can't sign in because of a sever error". How do I find out what that error is and why it won't log in?
(BTW, I am going to the control panel so I can figure out how to change the photostream, which appears to be interfering with Windows Live Photo Gallery. My PC always shows an "I" drive under Computer>Other, which is labelled the Photostream System Folder).
Thanks,
Mike

Here we are in 2014 and they still havent resolved the issue .. not impressing at all ... **** poor deisgn ... think these geeks wouild have figured it out by now

Photostream checkbox not available in iCloud control panel: Windows 7 PC, 64 bit

Photostream checkbox in iCloud control panel is not available to be checked. I've uninstalled & reinstalled maybe 4-5x now. Also tried switching from Chrome to Explorer 9 for downloading to see if that might help. Also have deleted everything Apple on my PC, & started from scratch. The very odd thing is, it used to work just fine. At some point within the last 2-3 months, there must have been an update that was installed, and I can no longer access the checkbox on photostream.Tech help could not figure out a solution either.

Hey RuiEVG,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.

Icloud control panel windows 2.0 - selective sync?

Does anybody know if it's possible to only sync iCloud Contacts into Outlook, and not contact, calendar and mail. I specifically only want to sync contacts wiht Outlook, this way my contacts are all stored in the cloud, but available in Outlook and my iPhone. I don't want mail and calendar syncing to my work laptop. This used to be possible with icloud control panel 1.x but now with 2.0 it's all or nothing sync. Really *****!

I was also disappointed by the "all or nothing" approach, but there is a sort-of workaround: when you install ICP 2.0, it asks whether you want to merge "all things" or "some things" to the cloud. You choose "some" and then you get a list of contacts/calendar/tasks. Uncheck the calendar box. Then the iCloud calendar appears empty in Outlook, and your contacts will still sync.
But beware there is a bug in ICP 2.0 which makes it difficult to send mail. See this other thread about that:

Bootcamp error in control panel windows 7

After installing parallels 7 I couldn't boot into bootcamp anymore, why?

I'm still playing with my Parallels on 10.6 so it I remember right you have to "log out" completely out of Parallels. I can't remember the name but it sounds like you are using the "Desktop" emulator. It let's you stay in the Mac desktop and are able to just use the Windows applications in the background just like the Apple ones. The other way is to completely emulate Windows and have the Mac separate. You have to be able see the Windows hard drive (via Boot Camp) in or on the desktop in order to boot into Windows. You should be able to see both the "Mac HD" (or whatever you named it) and the "BOOTCAMP" hard drive icons.
Take a look at the manual and it should give you more information or go to the Parallels web site and they would have a better answer.
Hope that helped..

HT201317 I am unable to check photo stream for the icloud control panel. windows 7

Does anyone know what causes this and how can I fix it? I have been driving myself crazy. It has worked before, but suddenly it is not.

If you're trying to add photos to photo stream on your PC, you drag them to your photo stream uploads folder (normally My Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads).

Installed HP Officejet 4100 All-in-one does not appear in Control Panel printer selection window.

My HP Officejet 4100 Series 'All-in One' DOES NOT APPEAR in the Control Panel window even after several re-installs. The diagnostics indicate that the 4100 is not connected and dos NOT point to any path for a solution.
Attempts to download a current Driver, ( or re-load the 4100 "software" ), WILL NOT work because the 'help' page states the driver already comes with the 4100 software and therefore does not provide for any download update, (driver or software) for the 4100 printer.
I have reinstalled from the original Disk for the 4100 and also attemped install with Windows Update requested driver. Nothing works.

Hi there @Past77
Welcome to the forums
I read your message about your Officejet 4100 not showing that it's connected, and that you have attempted to run the Windows Update to see if that would help get the printer working again. You are correct that this model does not have a downloadable driver for Windows Vista, so your best bet would be to try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, to see if it can kick the printer into gear and have it functioning again.
If the tool does not work, I would then recommend looking in to a printer upgrade. Consider giving us a call to see what your options are with HP.

Windows Update is not available in Control Panel

Hi.
I upgraded Windows 10 ETP 9926 to 10041 and Windows Update disappeared from the Control Panel.
How to add it back? I made a lot fo restarts, but nothing has changed.

Hi Lukas,
In 9926, if you changed the regedit value you could display the windows update in the old control panel.
See these steps:
Enable Windows Update in Control Panel - Windows 10 Build 9926
In 10041, this will also show the windows update in the old control panel but I have had problems checking for windows update. When I disabled the windows update from the old control panel, my windows update started running normally. So I guess, they have
finally blocked checking updates the old way.
Hope this helps..

Lenovo Miix 2 8 Control panel freezes

Santa recently brought me a fresh Lenovo Miix 2 8 (64 GB). It's been just fine until I realized I can't execute windows update at all. When I go to control panel and try to access windows update, it changes the topic in the control panel window, but doesn't open any windows update settings. The control panel window then freezes and cannot be closed in any way, can't be moved either. The same thing happens when I try to access language settings in control panel. So basically I can't update windows nor tweak language settings, because the window freezes if I try to do so. When I try to access windows update via the new win 8 UI, it won't freeze or crash as far as I remember, but just won't load anything.
Help me out please! I'm not sure if it's lenovo or windows that's to blame but I don't think I'm keeping the device if this can't be fixed. Couldn't find others having similar problems either. This problem occurred basically straight out of the box, which is strange.

Hi,
I had the same error.
After i deinstall the latest drivers (comes with Windows-Update) of 'Intel(R) Imaging Signal Processor 2400' the camera works fine.
You can deinstall the latest drivers in the DeviceManager under ImagingDevice (known so in english?), then properties for driver and 'install previous driver'.
Please tell us when it works again.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
Matt
