    Hello

    I managed to recreate the error entry "Fastboot didn't work (disable)" and here are the steps to make it work:

    1. update the OneKey optimizer at v1.2.24.07 (previously 1.0.49.16)

    2 disable the quick start and then go to the files tab optimized and restore all entries related to the hard drive optimized and inputs of optimized Boot Partition then reboot (you should see that the fastboot.log is no longer produces an error).

    3 re-enable all the entries you disabled in step 3 then restart (you should see the error "Fastboot didn't work (disable)")

    4 restart 3 times more, and you should now see "Fastboot worked (enable)" (it seems that it takes a few reboots to fully optimize the system).

    I tried the steps above on a Y510p with OneKey optimizer v1.2.24.07. I can't tell if it's going to be the case even on a Z50-80, there are currently no here sampling unit in the laboratory.

  • Can someone explain please how to get autodial to function properly in a book?

    We cannot get the automatic numbering to work. We put the first page of each document/chapter for the automatic numbering of the pages, but the book begins each chapter with page number 1 instead of the whole book of sequential numbering.

    I read this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/1319110#1319110 , which indicates that we need to replace our preferences. It refers to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d 21a.html for the replacement of the preferences, but once on this page, what should we do?

    Peter said 'you must be VERY fast by pressing the keys after clicking on the shortcut. "It might work for them and hold and click a shortcut on the desktop while they are in hurry. What shortcut and what keys?

    Peter said ' try just rename the two files, InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData.» How can we find our user profile to find these files?

    He has also advised, "the simplest method will be a search, including hidden files."   Do a search where and for what?

    Thank you.

    Both the individual documents and the numbering of the pages of book options must be defined. Make sure you open the numbering options in the book panel menu e.

    Adobe InDesign CS4 * setting preferencesis the same page referenced in the other thread. If you scroll down you will see directions for repalcing the keyboard preferences. You must close InDesign and press the combination of keys for your platform after the restart of ID (the shortcut is a shortcut that lanuches the program).

    If you want to delete or rename the files manually instead, use the operating system file search to find them. Default InDesingn must be:

    Windows XP
    The documents and Settings\ [username] \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\ [Version]-[language]
    Windows Vista
    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\ directory Users\ [user_name] [version]-[language]
    Mac OS
    [user name] / Library/Preferences/Adobe/InDesign / [version] / [language]

    InDesign SavedData wiil be in another (Settings\Application data\) branch of the XP user profile, but I am not sure of the paths for Vista or Mac, that's why I recommend to leave the computer to find. Do a file search is pretty basic stuff. You say you don't know how to do this? Tell us about the OS and maybe we can help you.

  • Can someone explain please the NEW, process RECENTLY CHANGED to "bookmark all tabs" in Firefox 40.0?

    The process of "bookmark all tabs" apparently has recently changed. The window "New bookmark" that opens after choosing ' bookmark all tabs "does not make clear what needs to be done now to save all open tabs. It was a simple matter of just to name the folder. Now, it's not not clear to me that parts of the pop-up window must be filled to actually get the tabs open bookmarks instead of just get an empty folder called [name of folder].

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    I am currently using Photoshop Cs3 Extended.

    Thank you!

    One way would be to create a mask of pixels in a layer that got the white glyphs on a gray background.  Then the background would be partially transparent, while the glyphs for text would be completely opaque.

    Another way, which would leave the layer that defines the 'live' (editable) text would be to duplicate the image and fade in the background, and then create a clipping with the full-contrast layer mask and the text, as shown here:

    A Variant can be to make the data of the duplicate image partially transparent, then you could put it on any background color you like...

  • Can someone help me get my printer to print? The State indicates printer ready, but it will not be printed.

    I have a wireless Dell V515W printer. Currently it is USB connected because the wireless isn't good in my area. I tried to print from yesterday. I can make copies but can not print anything from my message or incoming mail at all.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged.  Re-install a new copy should help

  • Can someone explain to me why XP sometimes creates a double XP profile.

    Can someone explain to me why XP sometimes creates a double XP profile. For example Neo (domain)?

    Hello

    1. is the computer connected to the domain?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    This behavior can occur if the user profile was deleted manually using the command prompt or by using Windows Explorer. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) of the list of profiles in the registry.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1 delete the profile by using the computer properties dialog box. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Start, right click my computerand then click Properties.

    b. click on change settings.

    c. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

    d. under user profiles, click settings.

    e. in the user profiles dialog box, select the profile that you want to remove, click Remove, and then click OK.

    2. click on Start, type regedit in the box Start Search and press ENTER.

    3. Locate, and then expand the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    4 right-click the SID that you want to remove and then click Remove.

    5 log on to the computer and create a new profile.
