Thank you,

Hi
You can start the control panel using the command: +panel+
Type this is the search box and presses enter.
But it seems that there is something wrong with the OS and maybe you should try to repair the OS.
Power up the unit and press F8.
Then choose Repair my Computer and in new window choose the repair option.

OffficeJet 6500A. Unable to access control panel in Windows8

I have a new laptop and have downloaded the full feature HP software. The test print and scan appeared to work correctly. However I cant find how to access the control panel on my desktop. It hasnt created an icon in my windows8 start pages.
I have a button that says HP Printer Control that allowsme to purchase ink and says my printer is off-line. There are no scanning options.
How do I access the full print/scan control panel or, better still, link it to the Printer Control button.
Thanks
This question was solved.

Hi SaraLK,
I can help you find the scanning program. From the Start screen or Tile screen, without clicking on anything, start typing HP. You should see the Officejet 6500a, if not click on Files and it should appear. When you click on the Officejet 6500a the Printer Assistance will open, you could also right click on the icon and pin it to the taskbar so that it is always available right form the desktop.
Here is another way you can Create Windows 8 Taskbar Shortcuts for Your Favorite Programs. Please take no offense to the referenced site, it helps make everything easier! I use it all the time.
Hope this helps.

Bug Indesign : unable to access control panels icons

Hello,
I bought 4 years ago Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard. I just changed the PC. So I disabled the version installed on my old PC and install and enabled more on my new pc release. Now, I meet two problems:
- In InDesign, most tools located on the left panels, right and top of his reach. The boxes are not clickable. FYI, my screen at a resolution of 3200 x 1800.
- I wanted to install the updates hoping that it would correct the bug. But every time I try, it crashes before the end of the installation with the following message:
"The installation of the following updates failed. If you want to install, correct the problems below, then try again.
Adobe update InDesign CS5 7.0.4
An error occurred while downloading the update. Quit and try again later. "
The problem recurs every time when I get to the download.
What do you do? Thank you for your help.

thank you so much! It works.
And the second problem? You see what it can come: I can not install updates. Every time I try, it crashes before the end of the installation with the following message:
"The installation of the following updates failed. If you want to install, correct the problems below, then try again.
Adobe update InDesign CS5 7.0.4
An error occurred while downloading the update. Quit and try again later. "
The problem recurs every time when I get to the download.

I cant access control panel of wap4410n

just i purchase cisco access point and I tried to access control panel to setup wireless security but the page i issued not display 192.168.1.245, there is any wayes to connet device web base ??

To help answer your question the device only has the ip address of: 192.168.1.245 if it is unable to get an address DHCP. If you connect your device to a router or switch and power the device on if there is a DHCP server on the network it will assign the wap4410n an IP Address. The easiest way to configure the device is to power the device on connect to nothing. After the device has power on change you laptop or PC to an IP Address on the same subnet so for example 192.168.1.11. and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and you do not need to put a gateway.
After this is done connect the wap4410 directly to your pc or laptop with an ethernet cable. Next got to Internet explorer or Firefox and pull in the address bar put in the ip address of the wap4410n 192.168.1.245 and hit enter. This will allow you access to the device and you can change it to a static ip address that is on your network. After changing it to an IP address on your network you can now go back and plug the device in to your network and it will stay on the ip address that you set for the device.
Change your laptop or pc back to dhcp after changing it back plug it back into your network and you will be able to access and setup the wireless and security setting on the wap4410n. Just by going to the ip address that you setup static for the device. The other way if you just plug it directly to your network some router have the option so you are able to see the dhcp client address. If your router has this function you can look there and will be able to see what ip address the wap4410n has if you choose not to connect directly to the device and set a static ip address. Hopefully this has been helpful for you.
Thanks

Windows server 2008 can't access control panel and can't choose "properties" under "my computer"

Hello everyone!
Today after a schedule restart on the night I thought everything was normal with my server. But When i go to "start -> control panel" it show me "empty". And if I try to lunch "change/remove software" via search window in
"start" then nothing happen.
I know also that I can't right click on "computer" and choose "properties" in the start-menu.
Also another problem. I did install Fbackup to make schedule file backups on the night. The software worked well to launch when I had installed it, but after the night, this morning it just crash on launch.
I can also tell that I did add from 4 CPU core to 6 CPU cores.

Hi,
Have you tried to see if the issue persists when you boot into Safe Mode? Since you it shows blank when accessing Control Panel, please check if the policy setting below has been
configured.
Please choose Start – Run - type (gpedit.msc) - click on (Administrative Templates) - (control Panel) -
Prohibit access to Control Panel and Show only specified Control Panel applets. If they were configured, please disable them to see if it could resolve the issue.
In addition, the issue may also be caused by the virus, please run a system scan to see if there is any virus. At this time, you can also launch Control Panel apps from the command
line, and here's a list of .cpl files for your reference that you can print out:

Can't disable voiceover even it's deactivated in Accessibility Control Panel

Hi,
I've recently purchased a headphones, so every time an error message appears in Yosemite this female voice is punishing my ears. I've tried to disable VoiceOver in Accessibility Control Panel, but this voice keeps speaking. So I guess that configuration is in another place. How can I disable this?
Googled it (sorry, search it in internet finder) but every body says the same about this tick in Accessibility Panel.
Kind Regards, and thanks for your time. Manel.

If I understand you correctly, you ought to reinstall. At this point, even if you're able to resurrect this installation, it might be severely unstable. Mostly because of my proclivity for messing around with settings until I screw something up, I have a tremendous amount of experience with the recovery console, and my success rate is not inspiring. If you have data you need on the drive, your best course of action is to reinstall to a different boot drive, and once you’re able to boot, archive the files you want from the corrupted installation. Then you can wax both drives, restore the data and get everything back the way you want it. Getting your data back from the recovery console is basically a lost cause since it doesn't support wildcards (as in, you'd have to copy every freaking file one at a time).
I re-read the above paragraph, and it's not the clearest thing I've ever written, so if you need clarification on anything, let me know.

Unspecified error when trying to access Control Panel

I am currently setting up Remote Desktop Services on Server 2012 and I have enabled the policy
"Prohibit access to Control Panel and PC settings".
When a user clicks on the Control Panel icon, or anything else that points to Control Panel (Screen Resolution, Personalize) they get the normal error of
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrcitions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator" which is fine and is expected, but they then get the error,
"Unspecified error".
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Tom,
Have you enabled the option to display "Personalization" in Group Policy?
This is because "Personalization" option is linked to Control Panel, so if you prohibit access to control panel, and right click on the desktop select "Personalize", it results in the "Unspecified Error".

Can't access control panel

When I open garage band the control panel with record, rewind, play etc is hidden below the menu. How do I adjust garage band window to access the panel?

Do you mean it's hidden behind the dock?
Is dock hiding on or off?
You should be able to resize garageband by grabbing the lower right conner.
Make sure you have the correct screen resolution.

IPhone 4 ios 7 unable to use control panel

Hi I am using iphone 4 and was updated to ios 7 yesterday
I have tried all the possible ways to slide up from the bottom of the screen (outside and inside the screen)
But still nothing happens at all
Now I couldn't lock the screen rotation or do whatever everyone else is doing to the new ios 7
Because I cant even get to the control panel at all and I couldn't find any useful things to help with it in the general option
Please if anyone can help me with it
Ios 7 has bought me to ****!!!

Hi,
do you have an "Control Center" option in your settings app?
I've an iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.2), too.
For me (almost) everything is working fine, so no general bug at this point.

Unable to start control panel for root

Is there a command line to get the control panel back for root? It seems that I have either removed it (inadvertently) or one of the security updates did it for me. I realize that it is risky, but adding users, disk, etc... is much easier with this tool. Any ideas?

Thanks. For whatever it is worth, I need to use this to set up users, network settings, etc.... It is much easier this way. I can then take the time to learn the commands as I need them.

I can't remove Firefox 8 from control panel?

I update Firefox8 to 9.1, but upon looking in control panel still said I had Firefox 8. Also, I had automatic update enabled and it never updated, so I therefore put it to manual. I was having Java issues that weren't resolved with Firefox and have decided to uninstall! I am unable to from control panel or uninstaller? When I click remove it does nothing but go bk to original state like I never clicked remove. All other programs are removable from this feature! I don't understand why I am being refused the option to remove, in the meantime I have blocked access. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

Version 9.1 auto loaded on my computer and I had problems. If 8 is working, don't go to 9.1. I spent hours trying to find an earlier version and the best I could do is find 6.0. I downloaded it and my problems were corrected. I recommend you keep 8.

What is better for security? WPA2 or Access control

I have a Airport express and 2 computers; a Mac and a PC.
When it come to securing your wi-fi connection so you don't get unauthorized clients on your network.
What is better
A- Just using encryption like WPA2 or some other password based system or
B- Just entering the "Airport ID" (MAC) of the computers I want to authorize in my network on the Access control panel.
Seems to me like the later is easier on the clients since they don't need a password or anything, It's completely transparent for the client. And I believe encryption slows down the connection a bit and create overhead for the computer. But maybe I don't have the full picture of the situation.
Is there anybody who can illuminated this subject for me?
thanks
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

WPA2 is virtually uncrackable only really vulnerable if you use a real word as a password.
When using access control, MAC addresses are sent unecrypted can be read and spoofed and therefore do not add any security.
Unfortunately "Closed" networks, MAC access control lists, and reduction in transmission power are all more "feel good" security rather than real security. All these various approaches are dated and mistakenly lead to overconfidence.
WPA is your friend if you value wireless security.

Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!
