CAN I CHANGE MY FIRST BOOT DEVICE WHILE WINDOWS IS OPEN?

Hi all my computer screen laptop don't work. so I use it with another screen (you know monitor etc.) but I have format my computer and my first boot device's hard drive so I have to change, but in the start screen, I see nothing because the screen of the monitors comes after the Welcome screen. can I change while windows is open?

If you get no video on an external monitor, some laptops have a combination of keys that you press to switch the video output display only / sometimes both / built video screen shows only - of the manual for the model of the user or owner.

You can try the following key combinations when you start the computer:

Fn + F4 or Fn + F5 or Fn + F6

  • I can't change "sounds and audio devices" in the Panel

    original title: I can't change "sounds and audio devices" in the control panel after the update my card NVIDIA vidio driver and Microsoft DirectX in my Windows XP SP3 update.  How can I fix it?

    I recently updated my card (NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT) video driver and Microsoft DirectX after you have experienced a problem with a casual game.  That fixed the problem, but then I noticed that my sound 'e-mail notification' had failed in its original supplied with Windows.  I changed "Sounds and Audio devices", registered, registered as a new regime, etc., and still plays the old default Windows sound.  It was the only noise I had on Windows.  When I check "Sounds and Audio devices", the sound, I have chosen is the one listed, and it does not play when I check, but when the mail arrives, I hear the old Windows by default.  I don't know if the updates, to happen or not, caused only that it took place at the same time.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Thank you for your suggestions.  It turns out that my e-mail client, "Eudora", had somehow reset the default mode in the Windows sounds.  I forgot that there is a choice to "Be careful" in Eudora Tools.  After I changed it back, it worked perfectly.  Once again, thank you to answer me.

    How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    Here is an article on how to change this folder opens when you click on an icon in Windows Explorer:http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-windows-explorer-icon-to-open-a-diffierent-folder-in-windows-xp-and-vista.html.  I think this will do the trick.

This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.  Keep in mind that it works, just a generic and holistic - it will not work for individual folders by folder.  That cannot be done in Vista.  But you can create shortcuts to the folders that you want and add to the desktop or right-click

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item.

  • system crashed, I need to select the first boot device in the boot menu...

    my computer crashed and has a black screen I have reboot by pressing F8 and then to the start menu

    What now?  Press and hold f8 at startup takes me the blue screen with 3 options 1) esc = boot menu 2) f10 = set up 3) f11 = system restore.  I don't have a disk to restore the system or boot disk.  What should I do

    +

    Hello, thank you for using the Microsoft forums!

    What happened when you "press f8 and went into the start menu. ?  You should have seen the inscription as:

    'safe mode', "safe mode with networking", "last known good", etc. etc.  In these situations, it depends on what the computer or the user was doing when the computer crashed, what the line of resolution would result. Just from the top, select Safe mode and try to start.  If windows starts, there are probably a problem with drivers not loaded through a secure boot which only loads the windows drivers of base needed for windows open and run in a limited mode. While in safe mode, we will offer you the choice to use the SYSTEM RESTORE to restore your computer to an earlier point in time where everything worked well. In unknown situations, when I'm in front of a computer when you know not what caused the accident, I take a point of restoring older and not the most recent one, preferably a machine made on its own schedule, not a constraint by a device or driver installation. Note that a SafeMode restore is not generally reversible, i.e. canoe must be cancelled at the point before the restoration (in this case, the condition has crashed), yet other points before and after can be subsequently used.

    Once you have done this, or even before, if you would not rather try this again, you can use Event Viewer to try to find out what happened before the crash. Check the system and application logs, for the latest entries and repost here about this if you need help with the content of the newspapers, and we will try to help you. Alternatively, if you get it running, then you can visit this site to help you with additional questions. This is the new, free and fully automated from MICROSOFT support portal, and it can help you with most of the problems windows with a few mouse clicks.

  • How can I change the folder under Folders options browse to open each folder in its own window?

    No matter how many times I select "Open each folder in the same window", the files still open in a separate window. So I then several windows open in order to view the other subfolders. Also when I select "File Types" tab and I see that the extension of the file types: (folder) and (folder), they both show (none), which I guess is OK.  So when I click on the "Advanced" tab area 'Actions' watch [find] and [open] with Open being the DEFAULT action. But for Edit or delete buttons are greyed out! So anything that can be changed is the default action is open or find it.

    I just want to be able to open and view the folders in the same window! Do you think I have to reinstall XP Home Edition, running around SP3?
