  If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can refer to the following steps:

  Before you can back up important information on your computer, you must install the backup utility. The backup utility is included on the Windows XP Home Edition CD.

  Note If you do not have the original CD of Windows XP Home Edition of Windows XP was preinstalled on your computer, contact the computer manufacturer or visit the Web site of the manufacturer for more information. You can also use the backup software that you purchase separately.

  2. Click exit.
  3. Locate the: \ValueAdd\Msft\Ntbackup folder on the CD.
  4. Double-click ntbackup.msi to install the backup utility.
  5. When the backup or Restore Wizard prompts you, click Finish.
  6. Remove the Windows XP CD.

  Now that you have installed the backup utility, you are ready to back up your important information.

  If you use Windows XP Professional, to back up your files and folders, follow these steps:

• Difficulty in importing the sample photos in Lightroom 5.5

  Hello

  I'm on my free trial version and started the video tutorials.

  I unzipped the sample of files in a folder on the desktop named "start lightroom take pictures" and have tried to add them to a catalog. When I press "Import" appears in a different box to the tutorial - I put it as ' drive local c:\ - Add - to My catalogue "-under a box asking you"preset metadata"(set to zero) and below (empty) application"key words ". I clicked on 'desktop' as location and typed in the file asking to 'Add' to 'my catalog' but nothing happens.

  Have tried different ways without result, any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Bob

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for your reply - it was a dialog box requesting the path to write to find import, rather than selecting them in 'the tree' on the left hand side.

  I got tired of nowhere so I deleted Lightroom and tried a few alternative software options, made Lightroom was the best, re-installed and presto! Totally different and works very well. Must have been a problem with the original download.

  Bought my copy today and very happy with it.

  Thanks again,

• Reset the default settings of the desktop folder

  I wanted to change the location of my personal (user) of the C: drive to another. By mistake, I gave the location of the desktop as D:\ folder. The result was not to my liking (instead of the desktop folder, I saw the folder on the drive (same icon and the bar blue % used).) I tried to change the settings in the registry, which was advised by another site. They told me to make the following changes:

  "

  To do this, go to start > run, type "regedit" and get the keys listed below. You can create a string value extensible "Desktop" in the "User Shell Folders" key, if this value does not exist.

  Now, double-click the name of the "Desktop" under "Shell Folders" and "User Shell Folders" respectively, to set a new path in their fields in the value data for your 'Office' folder

  Registry entries:

  • 1 registry entry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER dossiers\]
    Key type: the current user
    Value name: Desktop
    Data type: REG_SZ (String Value)
    Value Enabled:
    Disabled value:
    Another value: set the new path to the desktop folder.
  • 2 registry entry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\]
    Key type: the current user
    Value name: Desktop
    Data type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (expandable string value)
    Value Enabled:
    Disabled value:
    Another value: set the new path to the desktop folder.

  "

  I did, and she is back to normal. However, the desktop in the user directory folder is hidden , even if I put the path by default (the check box for the hidden option is grayed out). Also, the default icon for the Office changed default folder icon.

  I want the desktop folder as it is. How can I do this?

  Note: This was done in the administrator account.

  I solved the problem of "hidden folder" by changing the attributes of the desktop folder. He was set to RHSD, I changed it to RD, remove hidden and system attributes, by using the command "attrib".

  However, there is NO "desktop.ini" file in the desktop folder, or it is hidden so that I can't see it in the 7-Zip file manager. Does that create a problem? How can I do this? As far as I know, is that it is [.] ShellClassInfo] wrote the top of the page and there are two other elements, namely LocalizedResourceName and IconResource. What should I write in these two?

  Do help.

• Cannot import the Clipboard because the file is not a TIFF file.

  I'm not a frequent user of Photoshop, but for some time I still get the error message "Cannot import the Clipboard because the file is not a TIFF file."

  Extremely annoying actually.   Is there something that can be done?

  Another application place a TIFF file in the Clipboard, or at least advanced he was TIFF.

  When Photoshop or the desired BONE scan TIFF, there (because it cannot really be given TIFF).

  You need to understand what other application puts bad data on the system Clipboard.

• Cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation...

  Hi all

  Of the very basic knowledge on Adobe products please bare with me! We have deployed v8 Adobe Captivate our users to test and when they try to take a PPTX file and turn it into an interactive e-learning courses, it fails with the message:

  "Cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation to ensure that you have installed the correct version of microsoft office.

  We have the SP2 of Microsoft Office 2010 (x 86) installed Adobe Captivate 8 before us. We tested and this works if the user uses a PPT file (2003 / 2007 Compatible file) which is a workaround but isn't ideal because they then lose the functionality of 2010!

  Anyone can confirm that Captivate 8 supports Office 2010, or this is exactly why we have this problem?

  V9 does support Office 2010 if this is the case, as if a patch is not solve this problem, then we recommend the customer to go to the product V9. One thing is that we use 32-bit with 64-bit Captivate Office but the fact that it works with legacy PPT I doubt it is the origin of the problem.

  Thank you!

  ChrisW

  As far as I saw, 9 Captivate does not handle this better than 8 Captivate.  But you can check it out yourself by downloading and installing the Cp9 trial version and see if that will import your PPTX.

  A few other suggestions for you:

  • Make sure you run Captivate (regardless of version) using the command run as administrator.
  • Also set PowerPoint to be launched using run as administrator.
  • Don't try to import a huge PPT or PPTX.  Do your tests on something small, say 10 or 20 slides.  This will alleviate the question if you really do turn into is a matter of PC resources.
  • Test with PPTs very sober.  Captivate imports can stumble on some objects incorporated into the PPT Slides.  So just having pictures, text, and anything else in your PPT test.

  If some how changed the order sorted, you can go back sorting to 'Added A order' in the toolbar.

  or, choose all the photos and click the view menu and sort to choose the sort order.

• FTP - cannot create the remote folder

  Help, please!
  
  I use DW 8 on iMac. When you download my site (using sync or put), all two used to work properly, I now meet the following error message and then I hunted:
  
  "error - cannot create the remote folder / folder name and the path--canceled by the user.
  
  I thought that the file may be corrupted somehow and removed completely from the site. On my next attempt, another file has triggered the same message, and so on...
  
  So I am unable to download my site and the bits and pieces that are on the web are truncated because the site is incomplete!
  
  What can I do?

  You may find it useful to stick with the DW FTP. Having the ability to
  Download up/dependent files is nice, as are the other (select features
  more recent, select recently modified, etc.).

• Fewer steps to move has already imported pictures to the desktop folder in the LR catalog.

  I'm sure this has been asked and I just use a terminology inappropriate then forgive me.  I'm trying to get a group of imported pictures that currently link to a folder on the desktop in my LR catalog instead.

  I use a Mac.

  Thank you for your help.

  Dan

  Sure.  Yes, I imported the photos in lightroom, but they were not copied to the LR making catalog. I can not use the term 'catalogue' correctly. I am referring to the designated folder system where LR stores all of my original images.  I have used inadvertently the function 'Add' during their import?

  Photos imported into Lightroom are indeed in the Lightroom Catalog. There's no other way.

  If you used the option Add instead of the COPY option, you would have to do one of the following values (only one, not both of them or all three):

  1. Move photos to the desired inside Lightroom (select all the pictures, then drag them to the desired folder, everything is done entirely in Lightroom). OR
  2. Move the pictures in your operating system to the folder desired; Then, you will find that each photo in Lightroom has an exclamation point icon; Click on the exclamation point icon, and then select the new folder (see these instructions: How to find missing pictures in Photoshop Lightroom ). OR
  3. remove photos from Lightroom (this will remove also publishes, metadata, collections, etc.) and then import them using COPY

  I prefer option 2, but option 3 is actually easiest if you have not yet completed all the work on photos.
