  Hello

  If the original HP recovery partition is intact then you should be able to create the recovery media.

  Before attempting to improve once again, use a hard drive of commerical known reliable product imaging in the image of your hard drive to external media.  This will save you a lot of time and effort, if you never experience questions requiring to return to a fresh factory restore and then have to go through the whole update process again. The image will also save you if your hard drive fails.  If the HP recovery media is the plain W8 then take the shot.  Then after all the updates are applied and your with set success to date to W8.1 and then take another picture.

• I am trying to configure my pc to factory default, how do I do this?

  How can I configure my pc back to factory default

  Your computer came with a Windows installation disc? If so, you can use it.

  Otherwise, here are two possibilities. Check the manual for your computer brand and model to see if they are available:

  • Some computers come with a built-in program that allows you to create a set of recovery DVD.
  • Some computer manufacturers put a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

  * Original title: password

  HI I HAVE A LAPTOP ACER 5612 AND RECENTLY RETURNED TO FACTORY DEFAULT. THAT WAS LIKE VISTA, I UPGRADE TO HOME PREMIUM WINDOWS 7 I INSTALLED IT. IT WORKS FINE UNTIL YESTERDAY I TURNED IT ON AND IT ME ASKING A PASSWORD HE HAS MY CORRECT NAME, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS THE PASSWORD, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER USED ONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I TRIED TO RESET THE PASSWORD BUT NOTHING NO SE WHEN I CLICK TOP. I DON'T HAVE THE COMPUTER ATTACHED TO A TV KNOW IF WHAT IS IMPORTANT? AS IT WAS WORKING BEFORE.

  Here you go:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your system repair CD. If you do not have one, ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore. It takes less than five minutes.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the CD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• «Go back to the factory default» deletes all documents and data personal?

  I'm selling my laptop, so return to the factory default. Someone can always retrieve driver information? Thank you.

  Original title: Is 'back to factory default' totally Virgin pilot?

  Sorry I misread your message. As says factory setting puts your computer in the State in which it was when it left the factory. However, a person determined using equipment may be able to retrieve the information you make refers to.  There is a software that allows to avoid this.  For example, CCleaner has a facility that erase the drive.  But again this is not a 100% solution. The only 100% is to destroy the hard drive.  Having said all that I don't worry about this unless you have sensitive information on your computer, or there is very incriminating information stored on your computer.

  PS: If you think about it, you will understand that when you delete something on your computer you are not really delete, everything you do delete the index.  The information remains until it is crushed and even in this case, certain information may be recoverable.

• Bacup/restore to factory default

  Hi all

  My HP laptop has arrived an hour ago and it looks amazing much thinner I was ecpecting for a laptop 17.3. I ordered Windows Pro 8.1 from my suppliers who will be here tomorrow. Although I need to back up the partition by default factory because I install my own OS instead.

  I think the best thing to do would be. Pass through the initial installation of the pre-installation and then back up the partition which by the way should not be more 16 GB maximum for a clean install. This back up to an inch or the USB and install Windows Pro 8.1. I think I'll come against is only pre-installed software that comes with the notebook. As I have not yet looked, one would imagine that HP has a list of drivers and software available on the Web site of your support for my product. Hesitate but this third preinstalled software would not attend because of doftware comes with this laptop.

  HP has backup software so at least I can save the settings to factory default to a thumb bootable or pendrive so I need to restore the laptop at all times.

  Footnote:

  I just had a thought, once Windows 8.1 Pro x 64 was installed. And before you ask, but e thanks all the same, I created a PID file and ready to install Windows Pro 8.1 from a USB 3.0 to alrwady cfg. Once installed all I really need to do is install HP Support Assistant and download all the drivers who also records all drivers which is not pain but a lot of time.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Sybinx,

  Yes, use HP Recovery Manager (before the upgrade to 8.1 Win) to create a set of complete recovery (3 or 4 DVDs) discs or a 32 GB flash drive recovery. You will then be able to restore your system out of the box experience.

  You can also create a recovery flash disk by using the recovery located in Control Panel after the installation of Win Pro 8.1, (A 16 GB flash drive is required). An excellent tool for the call of advanced restore options when Win 8.1 will not start.

  In addition, please refer to this article which explains how to create a custom image refresh once you have your fully configured system. The instructions apply as well to Win 8.1.

  For more, but not all the software installed at the factory, you can find by browsing until C:\SWSETUP. Copy this folder to a disk external for use, if necessary, after installing Win 8.1 Pro.

  Have fun.

• How to set a default calendar for new events in the calendar on Macbook Pro

  Although I have studied this issue in forums, I'm still without resolution. New default event for the calendar of 'Calendar' in the game on my Mac of calendars even when it is initially unchecked and hidden in the calendars list.

  I don't see a place in the calendar preferences or in system preferences > iCloud to make changes. I would like new events, write in the default calendar for "Calendar" calendar in my iCloud.com account.

  Any thoughts?

  Well, here's the scoop:

  To set the default calendar, open the calendar, choose calendar > Preferences, and then click general.

  The calendar where new events are added by default. If you choose "Selected calendar", then the calendar highlight in the calendar list is the default calendar.

  

• How to set the default zoom according to the screen in Linux level?

  Starting from the same account, I can use different types of screens: low and high DPI. I would like to have the font size (and more generally, the zoom level) right of each screen.

  To set the default zoom level, you can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, but we can't define it it fixed-value, which is not OK, because I would like that the value depends on the environment (as for the font size in the menu which is always OK, because it depends on the resource Xft.dpi X 11).

  Note: I have several profiles, while it is not even possible to write a wrapper that could modify the prefs.js file, because I don't know in advance which file would I need to change.

  What can I do?

  One possibility would be to use the mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder.
  This file can contain JavaScript that runs with full chrome privileges and it it not difficult game of the pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to a correct value for the screen currently attached.
  You will need to know how to calculate the dimensions of the screen.

• How to set the default browser after update 35.0

  I've just updated to version 35.0 today. Now, every time I restart my browser that asks me to make Firefox the default browser. I've always said yes and check the box to remember. It does not work. Research help and did what was told to go into Control Panel, then programs and by setting the default value for it. That no longer works. I've never had this problem before. I'm at a loss to know what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  You can check for problems with preferences.

  Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

• How to edit about: config to set by default on the desktop

  I use the Sony Xperia Z and Firefox for Android tablet. On a screen 10 "I'd rather see the desktop version of websites (always hated the web version, even on a small phone screen). I set the preference on the desktop by checking the box in the menu > Office of the application. But firefox always unticks this box every time the page is refreshed, a new page opens, opens a new tab or a new session begins. When shopping on eBay, for example, I check the box, connect on the desktop page, are sent to the mobile version, click on the box, refresh, back to the mobile version, manually enter the url for ebay desktop, get the mobile version. This happens on all websites. I might ask to office but I have mobile site each time. Makes me crazy! I need to set default values by typing about: config. Can someone tell me what the Protocol allows to set the default value AND ensure that it is recalled whenever I use firefox.

  As a matter of general interest, someone knows what is the cause? Whatever it is, it does not to my other customizations. For example, I deleted all the provided search engines and don't use StartPage and DuckDuckGo. And I added the ghostery and bluhell modules that work very well also. Thanks for your help.

• In "set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are altered.

  "Set your default programs" in the control panel of Windows 7, Firefox appears in the list of "Programs" on the left. But its icon is that of Windows Media Player.

  After I click on the name of the program (Firefox) to see the details on the right, I noticed that Firefox icon becomes that of Windows Media Player, also. And "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation".

  If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, no Firefox:
  htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.

  So I must manually associate these file types Firefox to "associate a type of file or Protocol with a specific program.

  To resolve this problem, should what registry entries I change?

  You can try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, perhaps as an administrator.

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

• Setting the default size of the popup window

  I need a way to set the default size of the popup window on a specific area or all areas (whichever is easier). There is a particular site that pulls up a PDF in a pop-up window, and always default to a small window, but I need full screen. Apart from the obvious 'simply click on the button full screen every time ", can someone offer me some suggestions? If it were me, I'd just hit the button fullscreen, but I'm trying to set it up for some end-users rather capricious. The device in question (if important) is a Tablet from Dell XPS 18, and the version of Firefox is 24.0, just installed about twenty minutes ago. Forums for research, the only thing I found remotely close to what I'm looking for is to force the popup to allow resizing; This isn't what I need; the pop-up window already allows resizing. I need a way to automatically open it full screen. Thanks in advance for your help.
