Basics of microsoft, as installed on vista, still works after that I have switch to firefox?

I am moving from Vista to Firefox and want to know if Microsoft Essentials will continue to run after I made the change. MSE has preformed well for many years and I would like to avoid having to change to another anti-virus program.

Actually, you will still have Windows Vista, even if you use Firefox rather than the browser Internet Explorer (IE) that comes with Windows.

Another browser of your choice requires no modification of your security software. Also, it does not replace your security software. Unlike some programs that require special configuration steps, Firefox and Microsoft Essentials should get along very well.

  • Satellite L350D-118 Vista stops working after the error to install Windows XP

    I have a L350D - 118 (PSLE8E) bought 2 weeks ago and is installed in Dutch.
    My plan was to make it dual boot with Windows XP Professional.

    I resized C: partition using the Vista Disk Manager to make more room for the XP partition.
    I then tried to create a new primary partition, but I only could make an extended partition (so I did not).

    Then I put in my teacher XP + SP2 installation CD in the disc drive to see if I could install XP on a new partition to be created using the installation program itself. But the XP installation program fails before the installation starts with a message that an error has occurred and not further so that he could cause damage (the bottom line: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).)

    When I rebooted, Vista has not loaded, but there is only a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. X (there is that no message as not found operating system, or something like that.
    When I press on and/or press and hold F8 while loading the Bios, the same thing.
    The laptop is also transformed the immediately after pressing the power on button, instead of having to wait 4 seconds.

    Then I inserted the DVD of Vista Premium x 32 I have from my PC. This displays a message, press any key to boot from the CD/DVD... If I press a key, there is a bar "loading files" style back and after a loading bar Vista-style. After that, it still displays a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.
    When I retried with pressing F8 and select last known good configuration, it blocks the same way.
    When I retried with safe mode, the screen freezes after Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys

    I also tried the Windows XP edition family, and Windows XP Edition - family + SP2, but all abandoned and gave the same error message.

    I tried to start with the prompt with a CD of Windows 98 SE. It works, but it can not find the drivers for the DVD-disc drive and since W98 doesn't support NTFS I don't see what is on the C: partition. :-(

    I did a recovery DVD because it is already on the D: partition and I do not plan on using Vista.
    There was also a non dos partition of 1.5 GB at the beginning of your hard drive. This is mentioned in the guide of the 3-8 regarding the system recovery options.

    Is there another way to take a look at the C:-partiton or get HARD drive recovery tool work?

    If you say that the [http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu] Toshiba Recovery DVD, how did you it will work. ?:|

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello

    I must say that your ad is very interesting and dual boot is a topic where people can write about experiences.
    Last month, I did my own experiences and want to share with you.
    At first, I must say that your ad is a little confusing. Let's start with General things.

    Dual boot (installation of two BONES) is without any doubt, and I see no problem here.
    It is just important to have two partitions on the HARD disk. If you have preinstalled in C that you want to use in the future or create one with disk manager or just start the installation of the OS and the Windows installation to create the second partition.

    If your laptop has two hard disks, you can also install the second partition on the first partition, which belongs to the second HARD drive.

    With short words, all options are open and it's just important to know what you want to do exactly. If I understand you right, you cannot boot OS preinstalled.

    The problem is that after having playing with partitions, you will not be able to use the saved on the HARD drive recovery image. This score from GB 1.5 has nothing to do with the recovery image, and it is characteristic of Vista. If everything is OK, you can enter if you F * to start and choose the first option called fix my computer.

    You can see this option after using F8 at startup?

    I really don't understand why you have this error message when you start installation of WXP. What you can do is to set the default BIOS settings and try again.

    If you order the Toshiba Recovery DVD, you will be able to reinstall the OS and have once again the factory settings. Maybe you should buy it. OK, it costs about 40 Euros, but this isn't a bad idea to have the original recovery DVD. Perhaps one day you want to use Vista or you want to sell your laptop. It's good if you can also offer original recovery with her media.

    Sorry if I forgot to comment on something in your ad. If you have any questions please let me know.

    Good luck!

  • I paid for a month to inspect the Adobe and the Chrome plugin is still telling me that I have to upgrade

    @AdobeSupport

    I paid for a month to inspect the Adobe and the Chrome plugin is still telling me that I have to upgrade.  I need this job.

    Thank you.

    SOLUTION:

    In my case I had to uninstall the Adobe Edge inspect exe (Windows) of the control panel. Uninstall the Plugin Chrome and quit the installer of creative cloud.

    I then restarted the CC Setup program, then I'm went to the Adobe download page inspect, clicked on the download button, THEN installed the Plugin Chrome.

    I guess that when in doubt, reinstall everything.

    That fall down, and the serial number you provide must identify the previous version that you upgraded because CS6 is an upgraded version in your case.

    Hi Kenton,

    Adding to what James said, this is true for Lightroom and Photoshop. In other words, do not necessarily install previous versions, but all by installing the latest versions, in this case 5 Lightroom and PS CS6, you key in series for previous versions as well with the current criteria.

  • In Illustrator CC GPU acceleration still works after disabling "GPU Preview" and activation "Preview CPU" (on a workstation gpu)?

    I use a workstation graphics card which allows the GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.

    By selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of "CPU overview" under the "View" toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a rougher experience.

    Which brings me to wonder:

    1. In Illustrator CC GPU acceleration still works after disabling "GPU Preview" and activation "Preview CPU" (on a workstation gpu)?
    2. Acceleration for my gpu GPU actually improves the performance for my work?

    Nope. You must have sighted GPU in order to get the boost GPU.

    The Quadro K series is on the supported list, so it is strange that having the preview turned on GPU cause lag. It should be the opposite where the CPU preview is jerky.

  • Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

    Genuine Windows clean install

    Hello

    I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

    In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.
    Kind regards
    Lewis

    I have a family vista premium 32-bit install windows vista Home premium. now I have no sound

    I have a family vista premium 32-bit install windows vista Home premium. now I have no sound

    Huh?

    Try to understand, taking the repeated mention, I guess you're saying that you have Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and you do not have any audio.

    Have you spent at the web page of the manufacturer of your computer support and their section downloads & drivers and got the last audio/HiFi drivers for your specific hardware?  They are those who produced and load of the equipment.

    Updates that took place after the restore point have been removed, if these programs need to be updated again (it is the restoration of the operating system - in fact, that's why it works).  It works simply on the updates of Windows, but on the updates or installations of any kind (except changes to the data).  This is not a problem and should completely (and was mentioned in my post above).  Reinstall the updates and you'll be fine here.

    System Restore may take a long time.  L ' turn off in the Middle can cause problems - problems, different problems and even serious problems.  If updates are still there (and you encounter other problems which essentially the same that you started with most of the time), then the system restore did not work or was not correctly filled (but it make some changes if some of your edits are no longer working at least partially and perhaps even completely) (, but just was not given enough time).  I suggest you try again and this time give him more time to finish - say a few hours at least, or maybe more, given the current circumstances.  To do this before you perform any relocation above because they will be lost again.

    I don't understand the issue of e-mail messages.  What do you mean by 'coded '?  What email program are you using?  I suspect that this may be the result of turning off the system before restoring it finished (or the problem with the system restore if it worked actually).  A successful restoration will solve I hope that whatever it is as well - but if we cannot get this to work, we need to abandon this effort at least for the moment.

    If this does not work, then I suggest you follow the advice of Malke (assuming that you have not already) and explain your efforts with the restoration of the system and the results that occurred as well so that they fully understand the situation.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
