Hi kimmyowl,

It could be a video driver or screen resolution problem.

Method 1: Change the resolution of the screen to the screen resolution recommended to check the issue. Check the monitor manual for information.

Microsoft Windows XP - change your screen resolution

Method 2: Log on to the video card manufacturer support site and update the latest drivers for the same.

  • Use the 'Open with' dialog of the operating system

    Whenever I have right click on a file in Xubuntu and choose "open with another application...". "the next dialog box is presented by the operating system:

    https://support.CDN.Mozilla.NET/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-36-e5da3e.PNG

    That's nice and I like Firefox/Thunderbird to the same behavior. But if these applications do not have a default application assigned the MIME type of that the following dialog box appears:

    https://support.CDN.Mozilla.NET/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-45-80c2c1.PNG

    I don't want to add MIME types to FF, I want to change the window/dialog box that appears when I want to open a file with an application 'other '.
    Is it possible to say that by default, the operating system 'Open with' dialog box should be used?

    Thank you.

  • Impossible to download and reinstall the operating system after erasing HD

    Yesterday morning, my iMac won't start.  It was fine the night before.

    The progress bar reaches about two thirds to three quarters of the way to the end when the bar of progress disappears and I find myself with a gray screen. It does this by starting too.

    I followed the advice of Linc Davis at https://discussions.apple.com/message/21333265 (hash) 21333265 (Note - I can't find the symbol of hash on my keyboard key so if you if know where he is, please replace by in the link - oh (hash) and tell me where it's too please ;-)).

    I started the Revovery volume (now here actually).  Run Disk Utility/First aid finds no problem with MacIntosh HD (my boot drive). I can't find how to repair permissions.  The option no longer seems to be there. Reset NVRAM has nothing else that makes the iMac wonder my preferred language.

    I used download and reinstall OS option.  The first time I tried to re-download El Capitan, it took 15 minutes and 45 minutes to install.  Installation failed leaving me to the grey screen again.  I think that the Setup program itself was trying to restart the iMac when he got stuck in the same place I'm stuck.  I left it there for about six hours before I tried to restart manually.

    Tried to download the operating system again. This time, it was after using the recovery volume, select MacIntosh HD, by using erasing, then the option reinstall in THE.

    I did two times now.  The first time I tried 'Erase and re - install' the download bar has got to a point about a third of the way across, and then he stopped. Time of download bar gradually got more and more long, up to what I canceled it (when the display estimated download time is six and a half).  The internet connection was problematic, or the Mac had stopped download (similar to the earier progress bar).  The second attempt to delete and download, the download bar has not yet started to progress.

    My HARD drive has several volumes.

    1. The most important. My MacIntosh HD with OS 10.11.4 - El Capitan.
    2. The second, MacIntosh HD 2, is about 50 GB, a Mavericks installed on it.
    3. The third is 10.11.4 recovery volume.
    4. The fourth is another volume of recovery for the Mavericks.
    5. There is another called eDrive bulkhead.

    Apart from MacIntosh HD, with none of these volumes I problems in starting up (with the possible exception of the Mavericks resumed, that I have not tried to access all since the update to El Capitan).

    I used first aid utility disk several times, and no problems have been reported. I used the version of El Capitan permanently.

    I can't understand why, after erasing the MacIntosh HD to do it again, I can't get the iMac to download the MacOS and reinstall.

    A couple of clues-

    • After his clear utility drive always reports what is MacIntosh HD. (When I restart, the dialog "Select Start Drive" only shows the volume of the Mavericks and eDrive)
    • Disk utility also shows "Apple Disk Image/OS X Base System."  OF THE said that it is ejection. But this button does not work.  I suspect it's what might stop download me the installer and start again.

    I used e-drive to check the iMac and, in particular, the drive HARD; even performed a surface scan.  No problems have been reported.

    Your 2007 iMac is too old to download OS X, you need to install OS X since the recovery partition directly. If this does not work then Yes, something is wrong with your HD run Apple Hardware Test Mode Extended 2 - 3 times back to back, if errors appear which confirms what I said. You will need the original DVD that came with the computer in order to run it.

  • How can I reinstall the operating system with the recurring kernel panics?

    MacBook 1.1, white, plastic, 2.0/2x1GB/80GB/SD/USB.

    It used a lot, but want to keep going for special purposes.  Get kernel panic/black screen when I try to reinstall the operating system on a blank disc;  deleted before trying to reinstall Lion 10.7.3.  Tried other earlier versions of operating system.  Reinstall the memory chips and ordered new ones as a bet.  Made a "Lion" partition the Middle clone backup FW for my MacBook Pro, but there now El Capitan; window said I have bad installer in MB Pro; Cannot install on this new FW partition, but I don't know if this will help anyway.  Must be HW problem; nothing on the MacBook drive.   Diagnosis I could not complete either.  Impossible to wipe FW with the MB Pro, Lion and other stuff loading to attack the problem of HW?   Don't know how to do in this regard.  A new Disk Warrior 5 and old Tech Tool Pro.  Apple HW Test on the original disc from MacBook will not appear either?   Difficult OB!    Challenge yourself, please!   New mem circuits can do. ??

    So I'll try to attack it from the external hard drive, of course, I have to.   But how to find and eliminate the block HW?   Finally, go ask Apple support.

    It doesn't let me finish any operation!

  • Satellite U400-124: is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD

    I have a U400-124 I want to do a system restore.
    I created the Toshiba Recovery DVD but I don't have it with me (I'm in Italy and it is in the United Kingdom).

    I have three left:

    1 Vista (c :))
    2 WinRE (d :))
    3 data (e :))

    Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?

    Also, what exactly are leaving them? I'm not wrong!
    1 Vista (c) - for the operating system
    2 WinRE (d) - is a hidden partition and it is necessary for the backup files in Vista
    3. data (E :) - contains the record of recovery

    Sorry for my lack of knowledge! Thanks for all your help in advance!

    > Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?
    This is possible only if the second partition and HARD disk recovery file has not changed

    Start the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure by pressing the F8 key.
    A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then it should open a new window with an option called Toshiba recovery.
    Choose that and usually drive HARD recovery must begin.

    Hello everyone.

    Today I turned on my laptop A300 and does not load the operating system. In other words, Toshiba logo appears, the message "Press F2 to enter SETUP", but not in continuity with the boot. Yesterday it worked and did not update the BIOS or something else.

  • If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files?

    If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files? drive C whereas the partition that has the operating system and drive D is the lenovo drive that has all the drivers lenovo and all those. Did I lose my files?

    Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

  • Kaspersky sign appears after the full system restore

    After that I did a restore of the entire system on my computer, I have a sign indicating "kaspersky is not lit." What does that mean? This means that my computer came pre-installed with a free trial of kaspersky?

    Hello

    Computers are normally with a free trial of an Antivirus for many days.

    It is normally Norton or McAfee.

    You must configure the free trial. A system recovery reinstalls the operating system to exactly how you bought your computer.

    If the trial was initially, it will appear again after doing a restore to factory settings

    Consult the manual of your computer as to what had been bought...

    See you soon.

  • How can I put in a new hard drive to replace the main HD that crashed and that contains the operating system

    My HD C: broke down and needs to be replaced.  It contained the operating system (XP).  My other drive is OK.  I have all the original cdroms, including the operating system.
    I need to know if I should be careful what it is.

    Hello Nigel

    Each hard drive is different with their adjustment as far as riders go unless you have purchased the same exact model. Make sure that you set the jumpers on the correct setting for the new hard drive with the manual that came with the hard drive. You can also reconnect the cables of data and power supply for the reader who does not appear because they can be loosened.

  • Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

    I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

    I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

    I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

    Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

    I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

    I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

    Hi James,

    Ø are you using the correct version of the Vista disc to run Startup Repair?

    I suggest to run the diagnostic tool memory WINRE mode and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

    Follow the steps below to start the computer using the WINRE and run the memory diagnostic tool.

    A. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.

    B. restart your computer.

    C. Si you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    D. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    E. click on repair your computer.

    F. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    G. in the menu system, SelectMemory diagnostic tool Recovery Options.

    Once scanning is complete, check to see if the problem is resolved.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-know-if-my-computer-has-a-memory-problem

    If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

    Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

    You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.
