How can I ACTIVATE previously DISABLED startup options in Windows 7?
All options in the sequence to start my computer Windows 7 are in square brackets and the handicapped. I probably caused this somehow during the upgrade of Windows 10. When I turn on the computer, the Dell login screen appears briefly and the screen goes black. Using F12 I can see the boot sequence, but may not know how to change any element from disabled to enabled. As the DVD option is disabled, I can't use system restore/repair disk. A previous response to my post to a MS support engineer explained how to change the boot sequence - which I get - but not how to activate the option to boot from the DVD. Deactivation is ez pz - enabling, not so much.
The Menu of Boot Sequence has nothing to do with Windows, so even if you were able to use your DVD drive, the Dell repair/restore DVD system would not help.
The F12 key opens just a temporary boot menu. What you need to do is to use the F2 key to access the real BIOS configuration utility.
At least this is my understanding of the functioning of some Dell BIOS. If the above does not help, I suggest ask you in a Dell forum and be sure to include the specific model of your Dell computer-->

Nope, that didn't do it. I'm talking in the real mixer.
On the far left of the Mixer Panel, there are controls swirl down to control what is visible. Inside we need to be 'spinning' before the counters or fader become visible. So if, next to the triangle of Whirlpool, you can see the M S R and I buttons, then give it a click. Now, next to him, you should see the 'Read' buttons, and the meter and the attenuator must return.

How can I activate the installation "hide update" in Windows/Microsoft update
Last week I was constantly asked to install an update for Windows XP SP3 (security for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2418241).) It was first installed in October 2010. I installed it 8 times since March 2, but continue to receive reminders. The ability to hide updates is absent from Windows/Microsoft update. How can I fix.
I am happy to learn that they are all present.

How can I activate 802. 1 x in Windows 2000 sp4?
I want to implement 802. 1 x with Windows 2000 pro SP4 and Catalyst switches. Not wireless, but via RJ45 Connecting Cable.
How can I turn on the 802. 1 x in the W2K SP4?
Thank you
support for 802.1 x would come by default with SP4 because it contains the functionality of the SP3 fix to 802. 1 x (Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 313664). After activation or upgrade to SP4 however, you must enable the automatic wireless configuration Service.
You will notice you an Authentication tab under your Local area connection properties window after that.
I hope this helps.

How can I activate my master password option in the options/securitypassword tab?

When you go to the tab options/security/words of past, I not give me the option (dimmed) check the box of the option 'remember passwords for site' and yet there are the passwords in my list.

I checked my anti-virus program and all other settings in Firefox and I am unable to discren why he let me not to complete this process and why I can not check the box "Remember passwords for sites", although there are passwords already in my list of "saved passwords".
Any help appreciated.

Make sure that you run not Firefox in private browsing mode (permanent) (don't forget the story never).
- Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
- Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.
How the pref signon.rememberSignons does not appear on the topic: config page?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

Windows 7 Pro x 64
"Change appearance" is disabled. It has always been since I 1st turned on this game in Win 7 Pro x 64.
Just to be sure: the option "change appearance" depends on the selected layout (turtle etc.), then you should choose a layout first before you can change the displayed details (colors and patterns of the stones etc.). This option is not available on the start screen (grayed out =) where you see the layouts available but don't have selected one yet.
In your case, the option is not available on selected either page layout screen (where it shouldn't be greyed out). Is this fair?

How can I activate my disabled firefox update yahoo.toolbar?
Firefox updated today and has disabled my yahoo.toolbar. When I re - install, it is again disabled when I restart Firefox.
Replace the module signature (advanced users):
You can override this setting by changing the preference xpinstall.signatures.required to false in the Editor of Configuration of Firefox (topic: config typed in the URL bar). Support is not available for all changes made to the Configuration then editor please do so at your own risk.Note: This pref will be gone in Firefox 44 (expected release for 26 Jan 2016) for extensions currently unsigned user should contact the developers of these extensions and their prod in get their act together & get their extensions signed by Mozilla. Otherwise the users of these extensions will be GROUND come out of Firefox 44. Mozilla has already made back the version in which this new security feature should be activated from Firefox 40 to 44. I doubt if there will be a further reprieve.
