Tether Stripper?

Cyanogen nightly less than a month old. USB Tethering won't work on my Work Laptop because "Android Phone" is showing up under "other devices" in Device manager. Win 7 is supposed to have this driver built in, but it's quite possible that my work stripped out these features when they prepped the computer.
Tried using XP driver, to no avail. plz help.

Did you try reinstalling the latest version of HTC sync?

The subject of this post is definately not what I was hoping I was getting from the title :-(
I second the "HTC sync" install prior to trying anything else.

Windows 8 metro closes app without user

I have been using the windows 8 release preview and in the metro mode, apps close on their own. This seems to worry me because I do not like that behavior especially for a desktop os. Is there anybody else that is facing this problem?

As I understand it's this behaviour is by design, the os closes apps when you have not used them for a while.

do you know if their is any setting that you can change for this?

I think there is no such settings,still searching though.

Finding a setting of this sort would do wonders, maybe there is something in the registry that can be changed.

Metro Stuff Gone

Hi! I've got Windows 8 Pro via one of the hospitals here in Norway, and it almost works like a charm ... Some of my important tiles like the Desktop-tile and Windows Store-tile is gone. Even the Metro PC Settings is gone. When I try to open it via the Charms Bar, nothing happens. I've had a look in the Start-Menu folder under Programs, and the shortcuts are there. So I tried to find the Shortcuts in the Windows Folder, which I succeded with, but I can't copy them in there. I get a message who says that The Operation can't be done, because the file I was trying to replace is in use by another application. I've also tried to open the Shortcuts from the original folder, without success, except the PC Settings shortcut, which only opens the normal Control Panel. So it's kinda frustrating. I've made myself a shortcut to the desktop which I placed on the Metro Page, but I really want the store and settings to work. So, does anybody know how to replace those .lnk file, or have another fix that' not resetting/refreshing Windows (that would be my very last option, as I lose my settings)
Hope someone can give me some help

I'm assuming it's a work computer. If so, it's based on how the computer was set up by your IT department. I would contact whatever people within your organization are in charge, but they have probably set the computer up that way on purpose.

Actually, no, it isn't a work computer. I know a guy at the hospital who work with IT, and I knew he had earlier tried the previews, so when I was at RTM, I asked him which version he had, and then, he sendt the .iso file for both 32 & 64bit versions... So it is my private computer...

That's pretty strange then. Is this a fresh install, or have you been using it for a bit?

This may be a simple answer but its worth asking in case you didn't think of it. Have you just unpinned them from the start menu? ie if you can launch the start screen can you type desktop or store and they come up? If so you can right click and pin to desktop.

I upgraded from Win7, but I've only kept data. I've refreshed it one time. I've not unpinned the tiles, and they won't come up as an search result when I search for them

to be clear, when you searched for them you just tapped the win key to bring up the tiles then typed desktop?
you don't need to click or do anything other than win key and type

Yup! The only thing that comes up is my self-made shortcut for showing the desktop. Very strange, I think...

My tablet appears on the device manager, but no more...

Hi everybody,
I just bought a nexus 7 2012 yesterday and I encounter many difficulties to plug it to my computer.
I have rooted the tablet, it runs under Android 4.3 with the firmware JWR66Y.
When I plug it, my computer running with Windows 7 makes appear the tablet in the device manager and it is noticed that this device works correctly.
But I think that there is a problem because I have no idea of the way to transfer files ! The tablet doesn't appear somewhere else !
Thanks for the help you can give me,
Florent.

Try this out, it worked great for me. If nothing else it will clean up any outdated USB entries. It worked great for me

RunDLL Error 0017.dll

When ever I start my windows 8 this error pops up and I cant find the solution to it. It does slow down my HP Envys Finger Print Sensor and the sensor works later on on its own. I did search only and they show uo this application developer, Araxis, but thats not it at all. I tried to cure it but still nothing.
What I guessed was that it might be because of the Simple Pass or Authentec since it was creating an issue for me with the finger print sensor. I reinstalled the drivers and applications but still nothing.
This started showing up when my cousin installed HotSpot Shield on the laptop but I have permanently removed its settings and the app it self.
There was a way I could stop the pop up and well I did by going to the Task Manager and choosing disable 0017.dll on the start up which helped but its still bugging me because of that error.
I did disable it but I want to know what is it and how to cure it? I like my PCs clean.
