Favorites synchronization of laptop Dell which uses Windows Vista for my HP Envy that uses Windows 8.1

Somehow when I installed my HP Envy, I was able to get the Favorites of my Dell laptop which uses Windows Vista in Favorites on my desire that has Windows 8.1. Now, they are not there and I don't know how to recover. Tried the system restore, but no luck.

Hello:

If you are referring to the favorite links to Internet Explorer, it's what I do...

Get a USB and navigate to your Vista username account and copy the Favorites folder on the flash drive.

Plug the USB on your new PC W8.1, go in your user name folder and copy the Favorites folder in this window and let it overwrite the existing Favorites folder, as you see here.

After the Vista Favorites folder replaces the empty Favorites W8.1 folder, you should be all set when you open Internet Explorer on your new PC.

  • laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc.

    I heard that after a few years of use, Windows-based computers lose their ability to function. This happened to me before and I bought a new laptop. Now, I think that it happens again. The laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc... He is also declining my VPN connection occasionally, but also my direct connection is very slow. Latency shows speedtest software provided by the ISP in addition of 250 ms, download speed of 1 MB/s (compared with 8 planned) and 0.05Mbps download. The ISP has corrected this once, but I'm wondering now if it is the computer which is slow rather than on the network because my laptop works well on the same network/router. Is there one solution to this other than another new laptop?

    Jonathan,

    You say that your computer is slow, but all of the examples you give are rather than slow computer operations slow network communications.  To avoid any unnecessary work, check how fast the computer is on the tasks that don't use any network.

    If it works fine for tasks not network then you can concentrate on the problems of network as being the only concern.

    It has also become very slow for no network tasks you should study other causes.  Just as an example: If, like me, you sleep / turn off the computer when you are not using it then defrag will never work, so you can run it manually to make sure that doesn't cause problems.   Describe your symptoms in this thread so that someone can advise on the best course of action.

  • Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

    I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

  • How can I transfer stuff that are installed on my laptop Windows XP to my new PC which has Windows 8 Professional about it?

    I bought a laptop Dell XPS with Windows 8 Professional pre-installed. I need to migrate things that are on my laptop Sony Vio - who has Windows XP Professional - for the new laptop. Transfer cable that Dell sold me for employment does NOT in Windows 8... Then, how should I proceed?

    Use the Windows Easy Transfer tool included in Windows 8.  You should be able to create a USB key that you can take your XP computer, collect files and settings and then bring them to the new computer.  See here:

  • audio interruptions every 30 seconds on WAV recording AND playback - computer laptop Dell 1545, Windows 7

    Recently (the last couple of weeks), my laptop Dell 1545 with Windows 7 started having a problem: when I record or reading any WAV file (or a file MPG or WMV video too by the way) with any application (I tried several), there is a stuttering or interruption every 30 seconds like clockwork.  I have tried everything and can't seem to fix it.  During playback, it causes a split second buzz or silent, on the record, missing just a fraction of a second of audio, leaving a 'leap' in the best stuff WAV audio recording.  The only changes that I made in the system in the past month have been a few updates to Windows 7.  It ruins any recording or playback, I try to do, and is very frustrating.  It does the same thing on the files that are years old and new files (reading).  If I burn these files to a CD or DVD, they play very well in the CD drive or DVD, is not a problem in the files (except those currently record during breaks).

    What I tried:

    Much, restart several times.

    Reinstall the driver for my audio interface, even if she did the same on the native sound card too.

    Download the new driver from the audio interface and install it.

    Back to the old driver, then again to the new.

    Tried to record from multiple sources, ditto.

    I tried recording through the native as well as audio interface sound card.

    Deleted 40 GB from my hard drive.

    Defragged my hard drive

    Off my anti-virus program

    Close all other programs other than playback of the file.

    All USB disconnected elements.

    Tried to plugged the charger and entirely on batteries.

    RAM tested.

    Tested CPU.

    Nothing has worked so far.

    Any ideas?

    DWasnich: I had the same problem as you yesterday after restoring my Dell Inspiron 1545 to factory image. Through process of elimination (as mentioned Gokul T) I was able to determine that one of the services was originally the audio and video to jump to 30-second intervals. I disabled the 'Intel Matrix Storage Monitor' service and solved the problem. Why this service was installed and running after the factory reload is confusing. This is one portable hard drive without needing a RAID System. I hope this has solved your problem too! Joe
