The factory restore is usually made using a combination of keys, usually Ctrl + F11 when the computer is turned on. However, this depends on the still existing recovery partition. Verify the existence of the recovery partition in disk management.

  • I restored Firefox to its default settings, but the slowness, crashing and nonresponse are not resolved

    Hello colleagues-Firefox users.

    I followed the Commission indicated in the Support article on the slow, crash, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems go away. The remains of the slow browser and still gives me error messages on a non-compliant script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu on the top tool bar items, I was so used to using, such as file, editing, display, etc.. I very often used the display menu to zoom on texts that are too small for me to read. Now I can not do. I tried to drag icons in the menu on the upper right of the page on the top tool bar above the address bar, but it is not the same thing as what I used to use before, and there is no File, Edit, View, tools in the menu icons. So now I see my g-mail Inbox in tiny little characters. I tried to use the Magnifier suggested in the troubleshooting of support page, but it's too heavy so I gave up.

    Would someone kindly please help me with these questions? Thank you much in advance.

    Kind regards

    If the zoom is your problem so just try to use the keyboard.
    Hold down the control (Ctrl) key + "+" to zoom in any window.
    Otherwise if the crash occurs suddenly so just try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox with the update. You brought a lot of changes manually, it might create problem. So reinstall once and check whether it is at your service.

  • Restore the default settings doesn't work is not because of the sweetpack.

    Somehow, a toolbar called sweetpack was installed on firefox. I tried to remove the addon via the windows uninstaller, but it still appears in the addon of firefox even handler after restarting windows. the addon is blocked on firefox, but there is no way to turn it off. Then, I tried to restore the default settings, but firefox get toward the top of the box to "restore the data from the old" who comes chugged away in an infinite loop.

  • Satellite A210-17R: power management automatically changes to the default settings

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A210-17R with Win XP SP2. Works pretty well, except for the power management settings (they might call energy Mgmt., I don't know, cause Im using a German language version, so all the terms I use are translated from German).

    I am connected with my user name with administrator rights, then this isn't the common thing, where you cannot change the power mgmt based on your user status. I can actually change any settings (when disable hard drive and screen and so on, knowing what to do when the lid is closed), but somehow she maintains herself reset default settings. I tried to remove all the profiles of power except one, but still... keeps resetting. Ive tried to save the changes, eteinde, save the settings and the mashine completely but anyway even if not instantly (and I did not understand a pattern yet) it maintains the default reset.

    Its very annoying cause, I would leave on my laptop at night to download stuff, but I want to close the lid during the night and when I open the lid again in the morning, the day before on.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    As much as I know Satellite A210 isn't always supported WXP. What GST version you have installed on your A210?

    Until that Toshiba does not offer tested WXP tools and utilities, you can face more similar questions. In any case, you can try to use Windows XP Home edition power options and check the functionality. Maybe it will work well.

  • How to reset to factory default settings, as if it was brand new?

    I have a laptop Toshiba L300. I want to reset the laptop to factory default settings.

    The reason is that whenever I use the browser firefox internet and explore when I do a search using the search engine, and when all the search results are listed and I click on a particular site, it takes me to a page at random. Once in a while, it may take me to the page I'm supposed to be after clicking on the site, but most of the time it takes to a crazy page irrelevant.

    So I downloaded another web browser (google chrome) and there is no problem at all. I hope that if I restore the default settings, the problem can be solved.
    Can anyone help?

    Hey,.

    Yes, I think reset factory settings would be best choice for this issue. You can use the recovery disk or recovery disk Toshiba feature.

    Where is the difference?

    -The procedure of recovery of HARD drive, you need to start using the advanced boot menu (F8) and repair my computer option. Follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will be resettled in the files on the HARD drive second. Only the first partition will be erased

    -The Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you should back up files on the second partition as well. In addition you must boot from that disk.

    Good luck! :)

  • Uninstallation of MySQL or reset the default settings (advanced question)

    I am trying to install an application that is based on the MySQL server. I've been installing other programs and for security reasons, I changed the password for the server parameter access to MySQL. It worked well for other applications I installed but prevents me from installing the application provided by the ReadyNAS, it seems, they rely on the default settings to install correctly. After some reflection, I just decided to stay with the application provided through Netgear, but I need to reset everything in MySQL. I tried to uninstall the program, but the removal process leaves the databases behind, which means when I reinstall MySQL, he concludes that even stored setting user as before. I need to know if anyone knows how to do a clean install of MySQL or can help me identify all the extra files I need to delete through SSH to complete uninstallation by OS6?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: Problem with two-sided printing by default settings Officejet Pro 8620.

    On my MAC, I opened the preferences system - print & Scan - Options & supplies, the pop up window only contains two tabs: Gerneral and power levels. The other tabs such as the default settings are not displayed. So I can't set default 2 Facer of printing. In such a case, I find that I can always print both ways in the face of some software where I can change the settings for print specifically in this software. But I can't change the settings of the printer in Adobe Acrobat format, because change is always through the same interface as I mention above. How I solve the problem? I am connected to my printer via wifi. Thank you.

    Hello

    In Adobe Acrobat, open the print dialog box, and then click on the "Printer" button... "to access the print dialog box standard operating system.

    There should not be a default on a Mac tab, the settings can be saved as default recording these as a preset in the print dialog box, then a used preset will be default.

  • Auto 7 d back to the default settings

    Here's an interesting problem:

    I have a 1 year old factor refurbished EOS 7 d, I use exclusively for that I generally shoot at 24 fps video recording...

    Recently (ON ALL MODES of shooting), it automatically returns to stop a minute and 30 frames per second. (he may return other default settings, but nothing that effects my shooting or that I noticed.)

    Whenever I turn it on, I have to reset the fps and the downtime (OFF or 30 minutes, or other) - but then the next time that I turn it on, it has reverted to stop a minute and 30 frames per second.

    Also, sometimes even without turning the camera off, it will be automatically for 1 minute cut and turned off automatically.

    Note once again, that it does on EACH mode, the same photography and custom modes.

    A friend told me to try to DELETE all custom... functions but when I try it, I get a message that says:

    "cannot delete custom functions.

    Select a different shooting mode from C1, C2 or C3.

    The strange thing is that I get the same message in MANUAL mode or any other mode.

    I also tried to remove the battery from the clock, but the only effect that had, is that I had to return the date and time.

    Note: Firmware is the 2.0.5

    Help!

    Given you've done everything right and this continuous thing to lose his mind... the only thing I can think is that your clock battery is dead.   If you haven't already done so, try to replace a new battery and see if the problem persists.

  • Default settings for Acer 5733z DVD - RW DVRTD10RS

    Acer Aspire 5733z

    SNIDS: 12421079616

    Operating system: Windows 7 32 bit

    I recently updated my dirvers and everything works fine but my PIONEER DVD - RW DVRTD10RS region settings has been modified by ignorance.

    It works very well. Windows recognizes this when it is started. The drawer opens when ejected.

    The major problem:

    It cannot read the DVD or CDs when the discs are inserted.

    Please can someone help me set the area to its default settings?

    Currently I have a chance, even if for change.

    Thank you for your cooperation

    Unfortunately I can't tell you for sure 100% which is the default setting.  I can only assume.  I guess that it was created in the United Kingdom.  Or maybe you set it to the United Kingdom when you bought the computer.

    Some DVDs are multi-region... and perhaps that is the reason why you were able to play.  Some DVDs are not multi-region.  It probably depends on the film studio and a base of DVD by DVD.

    To be honest, I live in the United States and lived only United States... and just bought the DVD of the United States... so maybe someone else can give you a better answer (most common).
