First time that I Boot XP I'm missing operating system, it starts and then fine the next test. MBR problem?
Just installed a new HD, with a fresh install of XP Pro.
Now when I start the machine says missing operating system BUT it boots OK on the retry!
Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
Looks like you have a marginal place on your hard drive.
See the following Microsoft KB article:
""Operating system not found"or"Missing operating system"error message when you start your Windows XP-based computer.

I have upgraded to Windows 10 and all is well. The next morning, it worked well, and then in the afternoon, when I would right click which would bring a window with my choice of app 'Photoshop 15 CC' is no longer on this list. Where at - it go? How can I get it back. I can still go to the bridge, find the picture, click and the photo will be opened for editing. But sometimes I want to just click on a photo quickly and change. Now I have to go to the bridge, find the photo, click on and it will be opened in Photoshop and I can change. What happened, and I would like to be able to open a single photo quickly by right-clicking and choosing Photoshop. As I said, this option is more on the list.
Another problem is that when I open Bridge I get a window said msg / asking me to clear the cache of thumbnails in the preferences. I did, but I still get the msg.everytime I open the bridge. I did this several times. So, I don't know whether or not the cache is purged. What is the problem. BTW, this happened before that I've upgraded to Windows 10 of 8.1.
Hi Jdd,
Please go to the following location on your computer C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 and rename Photoshop.exe Photoshop CC 2015.exe
Once that is done, then please go ahead and right-click on the image and select Photoshop app to browse and you should be able to do as an option.
For the bridge, I suggest you to reset the preferences of the bridge once: Troubleshooting Adobe Bridge for errors and freezes
Let me know if it helps.

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

How can I recover my pc for the first time that I bought?
Hello
How can I recover my pc for the first time that I bought? because my pc is so slow... I have a compaq laptop cq61... and I want to set up the first time... How can I? I don't have a recovery disk because when I bought it dosnt have a recovery in it disc. Please help me. Thank youHello
I'm happy to help you
Glancing at the screen shot you posted, your looks of partition fine recovery (recovery (D).
Save your files on an external hard drive or flash drive (depending on how many you have).
Once that is done, disconnect all connected to your PC, but the AC adapter.
Start the PC and the HP welcome screen, press the F11 key to start the Recovery dialog box and follow the prompts.
It should take 15 to 30 minutes and your PC needs to be restored to its factory settings.
Then just reinstall all programs and files that does not come with the PC.
You will need the files or the installation of program diskettes. You cannot back up installed programs and reinstall them using a backup.

How could a routine walk-run? Inside, Indoor walk or another run? I do this routine outdoors with Gps first so that I'm not kidding my calibration data? Help please and thank you!
Hello
Choose indoor walk or run Indoor (it does not matter which) to an indoor walk-run routine.
Even if Apple Watch does not currently offer as a workout interval training, choose one of these allows the most appropriate data sources (which are the same for market and short) to use to track your training.
If walking or running, the accelerometer is used to estimate pace and the distance (allow your arms swinging naturally) as well as the frequency heart sensor for the estimation of calories burned.
Run or walk inside will not affect your calibration data. Calibration is based on the GPS of the iPhone data and is only held during the outdoor walking training or race outdoors when the iPhone combined is taken along.

I recently bought a new camera from Sony a7 - ii. the first time I tried to import raw images taken with it (with a. Suffix ARW) the program says "Preview not available for this file" and then "files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom" I have the most updated version, I think as 5.7. What should I do to get these files imported as raw files?
Hi Bobsirkus,
The camera you have is compatible with the latest version of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 6/CC.
Please see the list of the camera supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices
You can use the DNG Converter, converts images and then import them into DNG in Lightroom.

Please choose which operating system to start: (timer on)
When I start it, I get a black screen with white text, asking me to choose a system to start - and a countdown timer.
I have two identical choices (identical wording - Microsoft Windows XP... for this purpose). By selecting the first load my Windows XP. The second seems to load an earlier version and invite you to select Admin or (other) user. Selection of a user for the second version is not let me go. There is no program or OS this backup. I want to know is, how can all I eliminate the second choice. It causes no problems, I just want it tidy.I added this to the previous answer;
If you're on sp3 follow these steps:
1. go to start, my computer, local disk, right-click on the boot.ini file, click Properties, ensure the read only checkbox is disabled, if necessary press on apply, ok, ok
2. now, double-click it to open the boot.ini file (should open in Notepad)
3. first of all, go to file, select Save, save it somewhere you can find it as your desktop or in your documents,
then revert to the original and edit it by removing the line:
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ fastdetect / noexecute = OptInSave and close.Open the file and check to see if it says this:A simple example of type
[boot loader]
timeout = 30
default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
[operating systems]
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ fastdetect3. If so close and restart, you should have no possibility to choose that starts now. -

ProdID:V0Q01UA #ABA
Hello, so I performed a reset that restore my computer to factory settings, I have chosen to erase all files. I've done this before, and everything went well. What was going on, it was my disc useage was at 100% a lot and that something was wrong with my computer then I factory reset it. While the factory reset is 44% in "resetting your computer" and the next thing I knew I had 2 options, stop or start with advanced options. Well, I chose to stop it, 5 minutes later, I turned it back on and I ran a SMART check has no that was the ID # 9367LW-86J89N-MFPX7G-60BR3 followed by the product id that is shown above. He said that when I start to Boot Device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. Followed by the hard drive (3FO), I can only click f2 and it gives me the link to visit the Help Center. The computer saying that it did not have an operating system was not the first alert, that I had, it was something else saying there was an error of hard disk which then became not having not not an operting system. I tried to go to f11 and go in this way, but regardless of what it always comes back to the screen that shows the found boot device, please install an operating system. Help, please! Thank you. in advance.
He was sent to HP they will solve this problem, my warrienty coverd.

Hello
· What happens if you use another application to preview before printing?
· You are able to print the document correctly, or you receive no error message when printing?
You try to use Microsoft Word or Notepad to check if you face the same problem.
First of all, I would like to check to see if print preview is working on a new empty document with only a word in it.
If Yes, then the problem is the document.
You may need to clear any formatting, that depends on where you copied from.

My iPhone6 has convinced himself that he has a helmet connected - how can I convince otherwise and return to the normal setting? I tried turning it off and back on after awhile, but did not.
Double check with a magnifying glass and a good lighting that nothing has been slain. Then, try insertion and withdrawal of your headphones a couple of times. If this does not work, it may be while the shooting went wrong. In this case, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store for the assessment.

My playlists on apple music continues to repeat the first progress song and custom to the next song
My playlists on apple music continues to repeat the first progress song and custom to the next song
Hi, tabby1008!
Thanks a lot for the use of Community Support from Apple! After reading your post, I understand that when you listen to music from Apple, one song keeps repeating instead of skip to the next track, when it finishes. I wouldn't listen to the same song over and over again when Apple's music catalog is so big, so I'm happy to help you!
First of all, check that the "repeat" feature is not enabled. The following article gives some information about the feature 'repeat' and what to look for.
Use of music music Apple in the app
The "Shuffle and repeat your music" section provides this information:
Shuffle or repeat your music
Press on at the bottom of the playback screen to mix songs in a playlist or album. Alternatively, you can ask Siri to scramble your music.
Type once to play entire playlist or album looped or twice to repeat a song.
When activated, the icon for a repetition will be "BOLD". If this is the case, type just the icon to activate the recurrence at the wide. The next page of this article will show you where these buttons:
If the repeat function is turned off, try closing the music app using the steps described in the article below.
Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
Once the music app is closed, press the icon to open it again and then try to play your songs. If one is always repeat, restart the device. Instructions on the way can be found in the following article.
