• How can I re - install firefox without losing my data. It is infested bame ad.

  Firefox is infested with "ads name.

  How can I get rid of it or how can I
  Re-install firefox without losing any data?

  There is a rash that goes around, and the solution is not yet clear 100%. I suggest try reinstalling this way:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it is not about the deletion of your settings, it comes to ensure that program files are-own and contain no alien code files. As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 37.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Any improvement?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• How can I re - install vista without the disc, because I only have the key encoded on the computer.

  How can I reinstall vista without the disc and remove windows 7 (an illegal version) also without the disc. I have only the original vista coded key stuck on the computer when the vista system installed on the purchase of the computer. My daughter was not happy with vista and had someone to install windows 7, which turned out to be an illegal version.

  Hello

  If you have a recovery partition likely has been cleared by installing Windows 7.

  You can try the recovery partition, no guarantees.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Reinstall Vista without losing data.

  Trying to fix a friends laptop that has the following error: -.

  File windows\system32\configzsystem status: 0xc000000f

  Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or damaged. Can not do a Vista repair it still comes with the above error. I managed to get into the back through recovery cd and copied data via xcopy on external hard drive, so the user data are safe. Via back managed to discover that under system32 config directory is missing and so evrything under him. As I can't get into windows then try a patch upgrade is possible to install Vista without losing data or I have to do a clean install and then copy the data from the user throughout. CD I have is Dell reintallation Vista 32 bit SP1.

  Can you remove the hard drive from the laptop, if so, connect it to a desktop computer to extract the files.

• Satellite P300 - 19 H: can I install Linux without losing the warrany?

  Hello

  I'm a french so please forgive me for my bad English.
  I just want to know if it is possible to install Linux on my system without compromising my warranty.

  My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P300 - 19H
  The current operating system is Vista Premium Home Edition (pre-installation on my laptop)
  I paid for 3 year extended warranty, that's why I want to be sure I can install Linux.

  If it is possible, I have to take certain steps before you try to install it in a Dualboot with Vista?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Hello

  You can install Linux without losing the warranty. Toshiba doesn't support Linux on this laptop, but you can install it of course.

  If you want to do a dual boot with Vista and that you are interested in a version of Ubuntu, you should take a look at the Wubi:
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It is a sure way to install Ubuntu on laptop with Vista installed.

  Check it!

• Can I upgrade to vista without deleting my xp programs and files?

  upgrade

  Can I upgrade to vista without deleting my xp programs and files? I don't want to lose my programs/files downloaded, but I don't want to argue with remove them and reinstall later

  Yes, you can perform an upgrade "On the spot" and all your personal data and software applications will be available in Vista (provided that they are compatible Vista).

  As always, you should create a backup Image in XP before you begin the upgrade, just in case. Also check that you still have your XP product key. If this isn't the case, then use one of the below product key finders.

  Note: Also check the side of your PC case or at the bottom of the laptop for the
