Hi: I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I downloaded and created the Windows 10 Pro iso and ran it. It keeps coming back with an incompatible program issue telling me to uninstall Norton Ghost 9. I do not have Norton Ghost 9 installed - I removed that a long time ago. I downloaded the Norton Removal Tool that removes all Symantec products, and even went in to the registry to delete any references to Norton Ghost 9 there. I ran the upgrade installer again with the same error results. The autorun.inf file contains the setting open=Sources\SetupError.exe x64 Is there another switch setting to run this setuperror.exe program or the normal setup.exe file I see in the Sources directory that will ignore program compatibility checks so I can get the free upgrade to Windows 10 working? Much thanks in advance.

Hi: My 7 year old HP finally bit the dust, and I wad given a new custom system. Now I am trying to get used to whee everything goes (I was using X befoe). I just reloaded MS Frontpage 2003, and I figured out how to have all of the menus display fully, but I need to figure out how to change the interface color from the default blue to something else. Can anyone assist me with this? I am not sure if this post goes in this area or not. Much thanks, Hag

Hi: Kelsenellenelvian was so very gracious in helping me upgrade my Hp Win7 ultimate s86 and x64 discs to include sp1, and many updates. He is not able to assist me at this point so I am asking for assistance from anyone. I don't know if you use nlite or rvmi for slipstreaming win7 or another utility. Because of my blindness I need some assistance. 1. I also would like to know if there is a way to update the discs he created for me, because I do not any longer have my originals. I do have my serial number. 1. I need to be able to include .net 1.1 through 4.5 Kel had just .net 4.5 added. 1. I also wanted to have my serial number slipstreamed into the install because the screen resolution get so small that my aide cannot really read it to insert my serian number when asked. 2. I need the options in the partition selection area of the installer to have all options enabled (format, delete, etc.). Question: After installing win7 ultimate (HP) x86, my aide noticed that the Document and Setings folder had an exclamation point next to it, and it was not accessible. I did have administrator rights, and because I was an xp pro user was also wondering if this directory was not needed anymore, and left thre. I needed to get to the area to replace the new favorites folder (IE10) with my saved favorites folder from xp pro IE8. I replaced my image of xp pro on my system until I can resolve a few of these items. If anyone can assist me, I would be very appreciative. Thanks, hag672

Hi: I am using Dreamweaver CS6 to create a website. I have a membership application in Adobe PDF format. In frontpage 2003, , in preview in browser, the file will download correctly. In Dreamweaver, in preview in browser, the file opens in Acrobat instead of downloading. Here is the code that I am using: <a href="MLCmemberApp.pdf" title="click here to download Membership Application in PDF format"><u><font color="#0000FF" size="3" face="Verdana">DOWNLOAD</font></u></a></h5> Is there something I am doing wrong in Dreamweaver? Much thanks in advance, Hag672

Hi: I am running xp pro (32-bit) I have had problems with windows properly shutting down.. It just seems to hang with the "Windows is shutting down" message. I created a shortcut to shutdown windows which includes the following parameters: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\KILLAPPS.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.SHUTDOWN.EXE -r -f -t 2 I also manually closed all programs that had processes in the system tray. Is there a program or utility that will kill all active processes, and then use the shutdown.exe parameters as above so windows xp will shutdown normally? Much Thanks

I just followed these exact steps and got the correct result which is the old Windows 95 appearance with white text on dark blue background, this does appear correctly when right-click on the desktop (*and* in the flyout submenu with 'New'). We should full stop right here because getting something other than white on blue is a key symptom of something that needs to be fixed. Tinkering with Advanced Appearance will only mask it. Ideas ... [1] Accessibility feature or add-in of some kind? [2] 3rd party Theme Manager? [3] Some crazy policy setting or TweakUI adjustment? (Come to think of it, if you have TweakUI running and it has the 'persistent' startup thing where it loads on every boot, you could try to disable this and see if the Classic returns to normal. Just an idea). [4] Any chance that you overwrote the official Luna theme with another? Certainly this could cause something like this because I believe that 'Classic' is contained within Luna (luna.msstyles ... size=4,190,352 ... date=2008-04-13) Yes, Selected Items is the correct object to change colors for the menus, including the desktop context (right-click) popup. After you altered the Selected Items (NOTE: the upper font/size/color is for the background, the lower one is for the foreground), are you absolutely positive you clicked 'OK' to dismiss the Advanced Appearance dialog, *and* the clicked 'APPLY' in the still open Display Properties parent window, and then finally 'OK' to dismiss that window? Again, the problem should not have to be fixed this way, applying the default 'Classic' should have a known expected result here. NOTE: After this is fixed you may want to hunt around the WinXP themes sites for a custom VisualStyle that caters to your particular eyesight. I expect there are many special hi-contrast Accessibility versions around. Also note that this will require you to patch the UxTheme.dll first. EDIT: shuffled the quote around and fixed up the reply. Yes, I do have ToggleKeys set to ON in the Assessability options. I went into Display Properties, and reset the Windows color scheme to Windows Classic, and applied the change. I then changed the desktop color back to a plain black background. That seems to have done the trick!!! Much Thanks

Thanks, This would not be practical for me to do because I have an extreme visual impairment. I would never play with the registry myself

Hi: I am using Windows XP Pro 32-bit. Under Display Properties > Appearance, I have windows configured for: Windows and Buttons - Windows Classic Style, Color Scheme: Windows Standard, Font Size: Large. I When I right-click on a blank space on the desktop the menu that contains: New, Properties, Refresh... appears with white on dark blue (normal for windows standard color scheme). If I select New, a menu appears containing: Text Document and more appears. for some reason THAT menu appears with black letters on dark blue (very hard to see). I would like to change this to the normal white on dark blue as in the other menus. I went into Display Properties > Appearance, and selected Advanced to see where I could change these colors. I tried: Menu, Selected Item, and others, but with no luck. How can I change the black on dark blue to the normal white on dark blue for all menu colors? Much thanks, hag672

Hi: Being a blind computer user I might have missed something. I'm still running XP Pro with SP3. For some reason my right-click menu opeion of 'New Text Document' that would be associated with notepad disappeared. What can I do to add this item back to the right-click menu once again? Much thanks, hag672
