c: overwritten with the new xp pro operating system. Need to retrieve the d: partition.

My brother installed Windows XP Pro installation disc from my other computer on my desktop HP Pavilion 754n without my permission and I can not access the system restore to perform a non-destructive recovery with the recovery d: partition.  How can I manually start the recovery partition to restore original factory programs?

Thanks CheryG! I did a non-destructive control cover just to test and it worked.  I have had a few glitches and discovered that I had forgotten to delete the files from my brother of the recovery d: partition.  I have since removed them and am moving forward with the full destructive recovery.  You are a life saver.  Thanks for the help and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

  • How can I synchronize my catalog and photos stored on my PC with my new MacBook Pro?

    How can I synchronize my catalog and photos created on my PC with my new MacBook Pro?  I can't find a tutorial on how to do it.  I have the CC of photographers and Lightroom loaded on my MacBook.

    The easiest way to configure things so that you can use the same catalog on both systems is to put the catalog and the files of photos on a single external drive, which then you exchange between systems as needed. If you configure things properly, you can even avoid having to "link" the picture whenever you pass. You do only through pictures stored in the same folder as the catalog and at the same level, for example say you have "yourname Catalog.lrcat" located at the root of a folder called "Lightroom Sync", then you would need to have all your photos in the same folder "Lightroom Sync", once again to the root, so that the photos to sit at the same level as the catalog (paste all files under a single parent at the level folder of) catalog is easier). Installation like this, Lightroom can use the relative path of the catalog of photos and avoid any need to worry about the convention of naming/lettering of the operating system. Obviously, the hard drive must be formatted such as Windows and OSX have permissions of read/write on the disc, for example FAT32.

    There are other more complex methods, (for example using something like Dropbox), but the method 'all on one disc"is by far the simplest (and probably).

  • I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system.  Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.

    I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system.  Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.

    One of the possibilities for your deliverance is a questionable feature on by default in Windows 10, changing your default printer to be everything you've printed on last.

    Go to the Windows 10 Settings of the PC and from there, select Printers & Scanners. Note the option to Let Windows manage my default printer. Make sure that this option is set to Off which is not the default. Once you set this option to Off, then set the driver Adobe PDF as a default. Windows hide more with her!

    Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.

    I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.

    to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.

    Hi Keith,

    You won't be able to re - install using the discs and the number of series that you used initially, but we have a solution.

    The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software.  For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:

    Activation server stops for Creative Suite 2 and Acrobat 7 product Macromedia

    Instead of your old serial number, use the one shown next to the download link: download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • Incompatibility of printer Epson LQ-680 with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system

    Incompatibility of the printer Epson LQ-680

    I got a new machine (with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system).

    Earlier I had been using an Epson LQ-680 with a serial cable.

    The new machine has a USB port, so I have to use a USB to PS/2 port.

    I installed the Energon USB but still cannot print.

    Incompatibility of the printer Epson LQ-680

    I got a new machine (with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system).

    Earlier I had been using an Epson LQ-680 with a serial cable.

    The new machine has a USB port, so I have to use a USB to PS/2 port.

    I installed the Energon USB but still cannot print.

    I read your post with a lot of attention. There seems to be some confusion on your part. I want to arrempt in order to clarify the information so that a good solution might be found for your needs.

    The Epson LQ-680 is a matrix printer with a print head 24 pins. It is designed to use a parallel port. This means that its computer interface conforms to the IEEE 1284 specification. This is often referred to as a Centronics parallel port. Series No.

    http://www.Epson.com/cgi-bin/store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&OID=14331&infoType=overview

    Thus, because your computer does not have a port for a direct connection, you must use a parallel to USB device.

    Not all of these devices are supported printers. Please check the specifications of the device that you use to connect your USB printer and confirm that it supports the printers. It is preferable that it supports bidirectional printing through the device. If it is not the case, getting the arrangements put in place for this printer could be a problem.

    Driver for printer:

    =================

    You did not mention whether your machine is a laptop or computer desk/workstration. If the latter, and if she will allow to install PCI cards or PCI-E, install a parallel port card would work more simply.

    If you want other help, please let us know the make and model of the parallel to USB device.

  • QF402EA: u make my pc with my new windows pro 8.1

    Hello:

    I AM sorry that I have not good English:

    I bought the HP Windows 7 Prememom system for computer laptop of Jarir bookstore or EXTRA (I don't know exactly) for the year 2011 and then I bought windows pro 8.1 one month prior to today (from the Online Store g2a site) after the conversion of Windows 7 to 8.1 I noticed that I no longer get the support of HP for my laptop the definitions and maintenance programs as in the past under Windows 7 , and I feel very sad because I lost the effectiveness of Windows 7 (it's very compatible with my pc) I lost my mony in windows pro 8.1 because it lags behind in most of the games and its poor sound quality. Windows 7 was better in every thing. (I think I need your programs to my new windows.  could you help me to make my windows 8.1 compatible with my pc ))?

    BY the way Microsoft had sent to me to improve my windows 8.1 pro for windows 10 do you think that its good for me or bad?

    Your laptop is 2008.

    Lol we cannot make your compatible laptop, but we can try to find the drivers needed to run the Windows 8.1 operating system.  There is no guarantee that it will work.

    Before you install another operating system:

    Identify the chipset, the graphics card installed, the wifi adapter, and the network (LAN) adapter. You can use Device Manager to do this or one of the utilities PC information. The HP Support Assistant also has this information. View installed devices here in your thread.

  • Problems with my new Macbook Pro

    So today, I got my first Macbook. It's the Macbook Pro 15 "retina.

    After completing the configuration, I tried to connect to the Wi - Fi. He said that I was connected to the WiFi but I couldn't load google.com in Safari. Since im used to Windows I tried a reboot to see if that could help. This is where the problem begins: whenever I start the macbook, I see a black screen with the white apple logo and a progress bar. It takes at least 5 minutes to boot every time. I think it's a little weird with an SSD.

    When the progress bar is made I finally get to connect, but now the Mac is a little "Lag" + I can't always connect to Google.com.

    Is it a manufacturing error and do achieve this Macbook back or is there any patches, I could try?

    You can return a new Mac within 14 days of the purchase.

  • Can I use a LED Cinema Display of pre-2009 with a new MacBook Pro retina?

    Hello

    I am currently using a pre-2009 LED Cinema Display with a MacBook Air from mid-2011.

    Now, I want to replace my old MacBook Air with a brand new MacBook Pro 13 "retina.

    This combination works always and, above all, the Cinema Display Monitor will be able to manage the resolution of the retina?

    I have never seen anything in the resolution of the retina on the screen of cinema in 7 years, so I wonder if he can really handle.

    Thanks for any help.

    The Cinema Display isn't a Retina display, so it will not show HiDPI resolutions. But it will work fine with your new machine.

  • No software DVD player with my new Satellite Pro P200

    Just bought a new Satellite Pro P200 and, to my surprise and dismay, it has software player DVD No. inside? I downloaded the DVD drive on the official download here, but Vista abandoned the facility saying that I can not install the application. Have you tried to configure it as a Admin, but the same message is given running.

    Suggestions as to how I can get the software to run movies DVD on the new laptop computer would be most appreciated.

    The laptop is model is PSPB7E, it has Vista Business installed and has a HD-DVD drive installed.

    Would apprecate a response early to what I already plan to return this item, demanding a full refund since it seems that it does NOT use a software which SHOULD run (IE. Compatible versions of some software XP will simply not installed because Vista blocks!).

    Kamshot - discouraged by the new culture of 'Vista '!

    Hi Kam

    As far as I know every Toshiba laptop comes with pre-installed software allows you to watch DVD movies. It is a part of the standard installation and the application is called WinDVD.

    According to the specifications of the laptop, your laptop has no HD DVD player, just DVD-Super Multi (+ r DL). Because of this there is no HD DVD player.

  • How do I adapt bridge CC2015 settings, so it does not work with my new MacBook Pro (10.11.1) at 500% CPU?

    Bridge CC2015 to run my new MacBook Pro (10.11.1) extremely hot. Fans are crazy and there are 500 + % CPU use.

    Is there something I can adjust back to normal levels? I can't use it otherwise, it's going to melt my computer. Any suggestions?

    Hello!

    I disagree, Photoshop was running the CPU very high, constantly above 100% (but not as bad as the bridge, which was greater than 500%) - especially when using healing and cloning brushes in quick succession, not to mention tool of transformation, which was even worse. The only way I could use it would normally operate in low resolution. I do a lot of pro work of retouching in Photoshop, so it is very demand a lot of work.

    With PS 15.0.1 put a few days previously, it seems to work normally, however! Except the transformation tool, who infiltrates the fan works, but not as bad as before.

    A strange thing happened, Bridge seems to work ok now. Don't know what happened. I am connected to an external monitor, but I don't see how it would matter. Maybe Photoshop upgrade had something to do with it?

    I guess my problem is solved even if I have not changed anything.

    Thanks for your help!
