I got this error working on clients machine. The fix was pretty easy. I used a YouTube video to get started. It took me to the Registry and had me change the permissions on a folder to “full control”, and this fixed the issue.

The issue was I was unable to remove or set a printer to be the default. The video was a good start. Made the registry change and rebooted and everything was working great. I saw the next YouTube video for the same issue; however, after this guy set the permissions to “full control” and fixed the printer issue he set the permissions back on the folder to where they were before. I am thinking this is a better way to do it.

Had a customer who got a new laptop and needed Office 2016 installed. I logged in under his account and hit the install software button. When I got the the  next page my only choices were phone or tablet. The laptop was running in desktop mode, so it should detect which mode I was in.

We were getting the following error:

“Your admin has turned off Office install. Contact your admin for more information on how to get Office in your organization”

The issue turned out to be he only had a E1 plan which doesn’t include Office. This customer had a disk with Office 2007 that we needed to use.

Changing time on a Windows machine isn’t tough at all unless the machine is hooked to a Domain. In this case you may need to set the time on the server and then have the individual computer resync their time.

Here is the command line for setting the time to pull from a external source.

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:time-a.nist.gov /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

Then restart the Time services

net stop w32time
net start w32time

Lastly resync the time.
w32tm /resync

Enable What You Hear Driver Windows 7 To Record Sound

I wanted to record a sound using my work computer which is a Dell Precision T3500 refurbished machine. I knew I was going to need to enable the “stereo mix” driver to do this. Often this driver is disabled and you have to go into the Sound >> Recording, right-click in the blank area and check “show disabled devices” and it shows up. Mine did not.

I solved this issue by going to Dell, putting in my service tag number, and downloaded the basic driver. The driver turned out to be the SoundMax driver. That solved the whole issue.
