    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the admin account.

  • How can I convert my friends to the Game Center on Facebook?

    With the new iOS for my iPod & iPad, I lost all my friends Game Center.  I have two games that I play as I would like.  How can I convert my friends to the Game Center for Facebook friends?

    You do not have. They have two different systems. What you need to do is to start on. For example, if your game has a forum or support page, they may have a way for people to communicate to a friend. Or if they have a facebook page, they probably have a system for "I want to make friends."

    It is now up to the games themselves to put in place the means to a friend using iMessage. You will need to wait for your game to do.

  • How can I convert a page typed into an editable text file

    How can I convert a page typed in an edible text file? I have a 50 page typed (on a typewriter ;-) document I want to convert (scan?) in a format so that I can then open the file in a text editing application (Word?) and edit.

    How is the most effective (and least expensive) way to do it?

  • How can I convert an incoming call read only an attachment so I can change it?

    How can I convert an incoming call reads only attachment so that I can change it? Save in Word does not it, and find research peut t.

    So, the problem seems to be that attachments are stored as files read-only by Thunderbird and an application it can open without editing privileges, so you cannot change the. Read-only mode was chosen because these files are kept in a temporary location. For example, if you modify and save the back, they are deleted when Thunderbird is closed, so losing your changes. The idea is to force to save you to a different location. You should be able to do it, then open it from that location with full editing capabilities.

    For a permanent change in this behavior, go in the [tools >] Options > advanced > general tab and click on Config Editor there. After you confirm the warning, copy - paste browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit into the search bar and switch false to true by double clicking on it. Now, saved attachments are created with read/write permissions, but is more removed when Thunderbird is closed (i.e., stored in % AppData%\Local\Temp).

    How can I convert profiles Configfree 5.90.07 ConfigFree 7.2.16?

    I had on my old NB (M115-S3144) 40 ConfigFree profiles...
    I intend to 'import' in my new NB (M305-S4835) but it does not recognize!

    What can I do?

    Thank you...

    Hello

    I think that this is not possible because you tried to import from another model of laptop.
    I m not very well, but maybe that's a reason why it doesn't work because the ConfigFree software is different.

    Seems you have to re-create these profiles on the laptop Satellite M305.

I already clicked on 'option' and select 'duplicate' to get the prompt "save under". However, when I do this it does not to choose another version.

    To create a document that can be opened with previous versions of Pages, open the document in Pages, and go to the menu file (in the menu bar)-> export as-> Pages ' 09. Save the file and send it to your friend, if she can open it without any problem.
