can you just delete windows 8?

Nothing I have is compatible with windows 8.  I lost $500 + on a new computer for my business and none of my old microsoft programs are compatible.  Can I go back to windows 7?  I HATE windows 8!

Hello

You can get a better answer, but in the meantime...

I read that in some cases there is the "downgrade rights" for Win 7 when they concern the pre-installed Win 8.

Check with the manufacturer of the computer to the site and see what your options are... or a Bing\Google looking to "earning 8 Downgrade rights."

  • local files from a deleted account IMAP still take place, can I just delete them?

    I ran a use of disk Analyzer on my c:\ drive which was full. Although not a major contributor, I've always found that an old account of work, where I am no longer employed, still has his record in C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\rd4y3dca.default\ImapMail\ and takes about 1.5 GB.

    I deleted the account in Thunderbird when I left and discover that now these local files. Can - I just delete them without further ADO, or am I obliged to take certain actions of Thunderbird to avoid screwing up too?

    Thanks for your time, Niles

    the reason why the imap e-mail account is still in the profile is - some people accidentally remove and then e-mail accounts must restore the account, so he is always kept as a just in case you need to restore.

    If you are sure that you don't need any emails stored in imap e-mail account can access the e-mail account folder and delete the account manually.

    you will need make folders and hidden files visible:

    You probably always use the same profile, is that the 'account name 'mail you must remove.
    To go directly to:
    Close Thunderbird.

    C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\rd4y3dca.default\ImapMail\ mail account name
    

    OR through Thunderbird:
    Help > troubleshooting information
    Click on the view file"" button.
    a new window opens to display your content profile folder name.

    Close Thunderbird now - this is important.

    Click the folder «ImapMail»
    You should see all your imap e-mail accounts.
    Delete the account that you don't need.

    Restart Thunderbird.

  • Can you put mosaic windows from Javascript in CS3?

    I have a javascript that opens 2 images in Photoshop in different directories, based on a unique file name, so that users can view them side by side. They need this to be able to compare the color correction of a process automated against the original image.

    The problem is that even if I can open the pictures, I can't invoke the "window/arrange/tile vertically' menu item, I can with InDesign.

    Does anyone know a trick to work around the tile missing command vertically in Javascript for Photoshop CS3.

    (I searched the web and found that most of the responses are for windows 4 or more, where the images are pasted into a doc.) "But here, I need to keep the separate windows).

    One way to do this in CS3 is an action. A new action, and then stop recording. There should be no steps in the action. Choose the Insert menu in the Panel popup menu action. Then choose the "window/arrange/tile vertically' menu item. You now have an action that you can call from a scipt to place the two images.

    Another way is to use the doMenuItem Xbytor

    // adatped from Xbytor's xtools stdlib.jx
    doMenuItem = function(item, interactive) {
       var ref = new ActionReference();
       ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Mn  "), charIDToTypeID("MnIt"), item);
       var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
       desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
       try {
         var mode = (interactive != true ? DialogModes.NO : DialogModes.ALL);
         executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), desc, mode);
       } catch (e) {
         if (!e.message.match("User cancelled")) {
           throw e;
         } else {
           return false;
         }
       }
       return true;
    };
    doMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('tileVertically'));
    

    Note more recent version of Photoshop have a method of application named runMenuItem that can be used instead of a custom function.

  • Why can't I delete Windows Live Family Safety?

    I used Windows Live Essentials 2011 Setup to remove Windows Live Family Safety, since it doesn't seem to work in Win8. However, if I type 'Family' on the start screen, it appears here. If I choose that, I get a dialog box indicating that there are compatibility problems. If I right-click and choose uninstall, need me "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and features" and it is not listed there. If I open the parental controls control panel, it still appears as one of the suppliers.

    What should I do to get rid of him?

    Hi Rick,

    Since you have problems uninstalling Windows Live Family Safety using the Control Panel, I suggest you uninstall the Windows Live Essentials together via the CMD line parameter and reinstall only applications required, please follow the steps in the link below:

    Download and reinstall through this link. This installer allows you to choose which programs you want to install, select the Windows Live programs wanted to and proceed with the installation.

    Click Yes.

    On the file menu, click Close.

    Step 2.

    Installation of the printer.

    Make sure that the USB cable is connected to your computer and your printer. Peripheral USB work differently than older devices and generally need to have
    drivers installed before you connect the appliance.

    1. If you have a Setup disk, insert it into the drive. There is an installer provided, whether to run or run here. Follow his instructions, and it should take care of the installation of your printer in a few moments.

    2. If you don't have an installer, plug the USB cable into your computer and your printer. This should trigger the Add New Hardware Wizard.

    3. click Next and select search for the best driver for your device. Click Next.

    4 uncheck all options except specific location. Click Browse. Navigate to the disk, CD or the directory where your printer drivers. Click OK, and then click Next twice.

    Note: You can download some drivers on the web. Visit the web site of the manufacturer of your printer or see where to find the driver updates for my

    Windows computer?

    5. After all the files are copied, click Finish.

    6. turn on your printer. Windows should detect the presence of the printer and complete the installation. If the option to print a test page is available, do. This will

    confirm the installation. Click Finish.

  • Can I safely delete "Windows.old" after a successful relocation?

    I caught a virus and had to reinstall Windows.  The repair disk intalled a new version clean and left in a folder on my hard drive.  I moved all of the things I've wanted on an external drive, so I have nothing of it.  Can I remove it to clear disk space?

    Boost

    Windows.Old contains all your old files of program, Windows, and personal spaces (C:\Users\your name\etc).

    You can delete it (you need to maybe take possession of this first and reassign your rights to him). But like I said that it contains your old personal folders and office, you still have stuff in there you want.

    Kind regards

  • Can you upgrade to Windows 7 as a stand-alone full disk?

    OK here is my delima ive got Windows 7 upgrade version and version XP, with win 98se complete, is it possible that I can buy another drive for win 7 on a full installation disc? or am I screwd and I need but all this?

    the thots or suggestions, I had to do a complete version of the system after that Zeus got mad at my apartment to say... new everything's insurance doesn't cover home build PC.

    You do not even need to buy a new drive, you can just buy a new product key for a full version license license and use it with your existing drive. This is the product key that determines whether it is an updated version or full.
