  5 pages is located in your Applications folder.

  Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.

  If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.

  You will probably regret upgrading to 5 Pages which Apple has made extremely inconsistent and keeps changing its file format.

• Windows Firewall is not using the recommended settings and I have no control

  Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate
  All classes Microsoft offers updates installed from 19/09/12 @ 19:00
  _______________________________________________________________________________________

  I recently discovered that I have seem to be 'locked' on my firewall settings.  I discovered it not because I had problems with my firewall or internet but because I went to control panel to change some settings of firewall and found this:

  http://oi49.Tinypic.com/2r3h387.jpg

  So I press "Use recommended settings" and think computer for a few seconds and then nothing changes or happens.
  My firewall seems to work very well, but why I can't access its settings?

  The first thing I did was a scan of my computer with Microsoft Security Essentials and Spy-bot Search and Destroy.  Microsoft Security Essentials found a virus, but after I removed and restarted my computer the problem remains.

  I did a lot of research on this problem before posting here then here are the following things, I've tried.  Every possible solution is fixed at 1 photo:

  _______________________________________________________________________________________

  Possible solution 1: http://oi48.tinypic.com/2ng55hi.jpg

  When I type in "netsh firewall reset" this happens: http://oi46.tinypic.com/i2ouc1.jpg

  The rest of the commands seem to work, but after that I restarted my computer it had no effect.

  _______________________________________________________________________________________

  Possible solution 2: http://oi46.tinypic.com/2vmeh6p.jpg

  I do not have the other firewall on my computer.  I don't have Norton or McAfee that apparently caused this problem with other people.  There is no error message.

  When I right click on windows firewall "restart" is greyed out, but I can press start.
  Empty the column next to it with the State.  When I press start, it happens: http://oi48.tinypic.com/33cc4et.jpg

  _______________________________________________________________________________________

  Possible solution 3: http://oi47.tinypic.com/33nhu80.jpg

  Method 1: Windows event controller does not exist.  The base filtering engine is started and also shows as running in the Task Manager.  Authorization of firewall Windows Driver is already set on request.

  Method 2: SFC/SCANNOW not detected any problems: http://oi45.tinypic.com/11gj7fn.jpg

  _______________________________________________________________________________________

  Possible solution 4: http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lu30ut.jpg

  Method 1: Even as a solution as Possible 3.

  Method 2: I made a boot minimum and restarted my computer with ONLY Microsoft services (I disabled all startup unique programs and service not microsoft).  The problem persisted.

  Method 3: even as Possible 3.

  Method 4: Not applicable for me.

  Method 5: I downloaded the antivirus and used today at about 18:30.  No viruses were found.

  According to Task Manager Firewall is not running and when I try to start it, this happens: http://oi45.tinypic.com/5vdddy.jpg

  I suggest you to run a scan using Windows Defender Offline offline just to make sure that the computer is clean, you have to download it from another computer if possible.

• Satellite A300-1IK - installation after Windows I can't use the multimedia keys

  I tried to clean my laptop, so I installed Windows7 64-bit using my code, but now that I also donwloaded all drivers, I still can't use easy media keys (as for Windows Media Player, or those who must play/stop music, ect..)

  No one knows how to fix this?

  Hi dilettafornasiero,

  I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

  You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

• Equium - after installing Windows, I can't use the touchpad

  I think the TouchPad should work after Windows instalation. I can't use TouchPad although I 'Synaptics' mounting in versions: 9.1.14.0 and 14.0.3.

  Vista show me the message when I install the driver (thws-20070919162134): "bad serial number" so that's the reason. If it wants to tell Windows activation number - it's OK.

  What satellite notebook do you have?

  You have installed Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally, if you use this disk you have the same condition that you have started the laptop, the first time (factory settings). This means that everything should work fine on your laptop.

• Nine computer running Windows 8-2 accidents in the first day

  Hello world

  Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated :)
  Yesterday, I bought a new computer running Windows 8. I use the computer mainly for photo editing, so this morning, I installed my copy of Photoshop CS4 on the computer and needed to install an update to the ACR, I downloaded Adobe.
  The first accident occurred that I tried to download the update (Camera Raw 5.7). It is this crash .dmp file - https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=B50D32B2D4102B3F! 187 & authkey =! AHogu8RLIx59Nt4&ithint=file%2c.dmp
  After the reboot, I finished the download of the update, installed and made sure Photoshop was working properly, that it was.
  The second incident took place tonight (Photoshop is not running, no download in progress etc..) It is this crash .dmp file - https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=B50D32B2D4102B3F! 188 & authkey =! AJ97jn-_skkL03Y&ithint=file%2c.dmp
  Of course, since this is a brand new computer, I don't expect to be planted at this rate. I assume that the installation of Photoshop or the ACR update caused a few problems (even though nothing I've read has suggested that it should).
  Can someone get any light it? Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  You are going through the exact same thing a user treats here - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/windows-8-crashes-after-entering-sleep-mode/b140bccd-29ae-414b-840c-ed5269c26ea0

  The attached files of the DMP are bug check ACPI_BIOS_ERROR (a5) .

  This bug check indicates that the BIOS Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) computer is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification.

  Error checking A5, {1000, 0, 80001000, 25}

  1000 = ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY.

  ACPI has been a fatal error during the processing of a region of memory operation. The region of operation memory tried memory card which has been attributed to the use of the OS.

  This bug check usually appears in these 2 scenarios:

  1 BIOS bug / damaged and must be resolved with an update or go back to the manufacturer.

  2 Rootkit (not very common).

  Given that you have exactly the same problem and the same HP model, etc... It is a big problem on the part of HP. Contact them and let them know that you want to replace as soon as POSSIBLE, preferably if possible a working model.

  Kind regards

• Compatibility Mode and the XP Mode in Windows 7

  I got a little confused on the Compatibility Mode with XP Mode in Windows 7. Both allow you to legacy Windows run in Windows 7. As far as I know, the former just request that you go to your legacy application that is already installed in Windows 7, get his property and check the box Compatibility Mode and select your old Windows OS (Windows XP, SP2) - that seems without any requirement of additional beyond your Windows 7 operating system HW/SW; But this last request additional 1 GB of RAM and also installation PC Virture Mode before you can run XP Mode. Are the two modes of the same thing or different? It seems that Compatibility Mode is to each legacy Windows application, so no additional HW/SW and XP Mode is environmental BONES together. Is this fair? Appreciate if anyone can clerify this.

  Hello

  No, they are not the same.

  Compatibility mode allows you to run software simply, as say you, selecting Properties and then compare the compatibility mode and select the appropriate operating system to run this application. As you say 'no additional SW/HW prescription.'

  XP Mode is, of all intent and purpose, a virtual machine mode. You must first install Virtual PC software and then, after you have created a machine virtual, you install your software and it works as if it is running on a separate computer - hence the need for a 1 GB of additional RAM. The 1 GB of RAM is allocated to the virtual machine. If you say 4 GB of RAM then your PC would use / 3GB and your 'virtual' PC would use the other 1 GB.

  It is also interesting to note that your PC has also therefore support XP Mode, if it isn't then XP Mode cannot be installed.  John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Expert associated with: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;
