After installing Linux my laptop can not initialize properly
OK so I installed Linux ubunto and I dual boot with my standard version of Win, when me and my friend tried to simply go back to Windows, we have restored to the original with the backup disc only problem is that now the program (GRUB) that loads when you choose your operating system is still on the computer.
It gives me an error message 22 every time... I was told that I have to reset the master boot record or something like that, but I don't know how if someone could please help me?
Which would be greatly appreciated!
Your MBR (Master Boot Record) contains the GRUB loader. You must recover its original content.
For win95/98/me, you are using 'fdisk /mbr' with a boot disk.
With win2000/xp you start the recovery by using the installation CD console and type fixmbrAlbert

MMC cannot open the file C:\windows\system32\devmgmt.mmc. It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. Perhaps it is also because you don't have sufficient access to the file.

Hi everyone, this is my first post, also help on the post would be appreciated.
I bought ipad air 1 after that 2013 but can not get the pages for free. Numbers and imovie I can. IOS9 running at the moment. I have pages when I connect on icloud on my pc. Can I transfer iPad app, because it is not in the ILO purchased in itunes.
Thanks in advance
Newbie
The only way to install an ipad app is through the app store. PC or Mac software does not run on the ipad. Search in the contacts link at the bottom right of this page. Give apple a call.
I guess is the icon for pages in icloud for storing documents pages. At the same time, apple had a cloud based pages. Not sure what happened to her.

Can not get audio driver working under WXP SP3 on the Satellite A200 - 1 P 8
Hi all
I have WXP Pro with SP3 and I do not get the sound drivers work.
If I try the packages, I get the error:
The version of windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to installSO HOW TO GET AUDIO DRIVERS WORK? :(:)?
Thx a lot
By other devices are up to? PCI devices.
I think that the key is installed SP3.
It seems that your audio driver does not work or does not fully support SP3.In my opinion you have 2 options;
Either you would update the audio driver and would hole that the new update is available and will work with Win XP SP3 or you simply need to remove the installed SP3.I had to remove the SP3 from my laptop because the MS Outlook couldn t receive e-mails from the server.
See you soon
