Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?
Hi Silas Martin,
I have not used Britannica for many years now, but I suppose there is a program of "installation"? If so, try compatibility mode.
1 / locate the setup.exe (or install file) for the program of Britannica
2 / right click on the file setup.exe or install.exe, and in the drop-down menu, select Properties.
3 / in the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab
4 / on the Compatibility tab place a 'TICK' in the box beside the box "run this program in compatibility mode for", then select the operating system Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This should automatically appear in the box under the run this program in compatibility mode for option. If Windows XP is not visible, then click on the arrow down to see a selection of the available operating system options.
5 / click OK
6 / the installation program will now begin to install the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP
7 / once done, you should be able to run the program as if you were using Windows XP

Can I create a button that the copy is a certain test for my Clipboard?
Can I create a button that the copy is a certain test for my Clipboard?
For example, when I click the button on the site, then the next time to paste it somewhere, a specific text appears?
If possible, could someone please explain to me how? =(
Hi Travis,
There is no native function to Muse to achieve this goal. However, you can use custom code to achieve this. Please see the following link for the code example: How to copy to the Clipboard in JavaScript?-stack overflow

When I try to open CompuServe, which I used for several years on Firefox, a screen appears saying: this isn't a trusted site and it wont let me.
Here's what's on the screen that appears when I try to open CompuServe and AOL CompuServe of owner:
___________________________________________________________
This connection is Untrusted
You asked Firefox to connect safely to my.screenname.aol.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
_____________________________________________________________There was a security of Firefox auto update on Friday, August 7, 2015 after which this problem started to occur. On my other computer, I use very often and on which I also use Firefox, I can easily open CompuServe.

I tried to post a question to the assistance of apple for the last 30 minutes, but every time I do it says "you are not allowed to create or update this content.
but here's my question:
ipad1, glitched since the update update, died days later for no reason. tried to reboot, nothing worked. What can I do?
I'm sure it wasn't the update, but since I've updated the ios system with my ipad, it started with seeds, then just died.
appreciate for all the ideas/help.
Thank you and Bravo.

When you say that "nothing worked", what do you mean? Do you mean that the iPad does not at all? "That means" it seeds "means? What exactly you see it do? Have you tried a forced reboot (hold home and power buttons until the Apple appears, then let go and leave to complete commissioning). If it lights, try to restore from a backup using iTunes.

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I tried various things - the ease of importing is not perceived as being good help - I copied the folder of favorites on but he is not seen
Help appreciated.
Roger
It depends on the version of Firefox you have on Windows 98, the latest version which took place officially on Windows 98 was Firefox 2. In Firefox 2 favorites are stored in a file called bookmarks.html in the profile folder. The normal location to find the profile folder in Windows 98 is inside this folder - C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
The name of the profile folder is normally a string of random characters followed by .default, if you open this folder, you should find the file bookmarks.html. You can import this file into your current computer by following the procedure described in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Importing+Bookmarks+from+an+HTML+File
If you had Firefox 3 on Windows 98, the Favorites are stored in a file called places.sqlite. If you have this file, you can copy it from your old profile folder and place it in your profile folder on the Windows XP computer to replace one that is already there. For more information on how to find the Windows XP profile folder, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
