How can I easily save files before wipe me and reload Windows XP costs?

I am currently running Windows XP SP3, but the last windows disc I have is Windows XP SP2. I was infected with a virus and spin a pretty old computer so a wipe and reload would benefit performance considerably on my PC at home.

Of course you will need an external hard drive to save your files.  You can copy the files yourself by dragging and dropping, but that sometimes limited races in the path of 256 bytes.  Another solution is to use the Microsoft NTBackup utility, and then restore the files selected after your re - install Windows.  Ensure that you do not restore infected files.

  • How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Hello!

    I got help.

    How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Intel based computers, like yours, are usually set to "RAID", which is a superset of "AHCI". Basically, if the BIOS won't let you choose between "IDE mode", "AHCI" and "RAID", leaving in the RAID led to you everything done "AHCI". In this case there is no need to activate the AHCI, as RAID will support an SSD anyway.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • How can CD users save files as read-only PDF editable PDF after completing their?

    Hello

    We have users who use CD player and none of them are able to save regular editable PDF files, PDF files read-only. The only options that appear for the option Save as others are "text' and 'word or excel." In older versions, there is a PDF option here that allow them to record read-only. When you go to save as and recording it in pdf format, it is always editable. There is no other option to save it as Save a Copy as I've seen in other articles. Can you please tell me how this can be done? Thank you.

  • How can I make the file / see / Edit bar and persistent in exploring filepath / other apps?

    Hi all

    I am a longtime XP user.  I recently took the bold step of upgrading to a modern platform of Windows - Windows 7!  But I'm struggling with its newfangledness.

    I want to do is bring that leadership / see / Edit bar that was always so useful (and understanding).  In addition, filepaths in Solution Explorer.   Take a look at the picture below:

    As you can see, the filepath and file/view/edit bar are ideally placed at the top of the window, where they belong.  Isn't wonderful?  I think so, too.

    Unfortunately, I only managed to do the bar F/V/E appear temporarily by pressing alt and filepath appear temporarily by right-clicking of the existing navigtation thing by clicking on change.  I want to make them permanent.

    Does anyone know how I might be able to do this?  Thank you very much for any help.

    Let's start with Internet Explorer. What you are looking for is called the menu bar. Right-click on an empty spot on the IE toolbar and make sure that the Menu bar. It's done.
     
    Now, restart and see what it looks like elsewhere. Your screenshot is in the control panel. To access Windows Explorer, use the Windows key + E. My Menu in Win7 bar in Explorer Windows and CP with no option to disable it. Get it in IE and go from there.

  • How can I watch a video clip without slaughter and reload the buffer

    When you try to watch a video clip... site... it will start and then stop and start again... and so on

    Looks like it can only buffer alittle at a time, plays a short song and stops, play a piece and short stop... and

    Hello

    Normally the speed depends on your internet connection, Buffering is simply the process of downloading the documents in the file and now it until it can be displayed.

    You can try to configure Windows Media Player:

    1 open Windows Media Player.
    2. right click on the title-> Tools Bar-> Options-> Performance tab.
    3. set the desired changes in the section network buffering.

    Buffering is simply storing the content before the media begins to play. Some will have noticed a short break before the multimedia readings, and it's just data backup application in the hope that small network dips will be not noticed. The ultimate solution is, of course, get more bandwidth. If you are tiring to watch an HD video on a connection by modem 56 k no degree of buffering won't help you unless you download the entire video clip before you play. Get more bandwidth means generally pay your ISP more money for a better plan.

    I hope this helps...

  • My computor would not start windows, so I got the opption to boot with the disc. But with the TI istalled a new windows 7 on my computor and all my files are gone. How can I get the file.

    second copy of windows 7 has been installed. How can I retrieve my files from the old copy of windows 7

    That depends on the options you chose when you made the installation.  If you chose to keep your old files, you can view the folder c:\windows.old .  If you opted to install on another partition, you can retrieve the files from the old partition.  Otherwise, you would have to have supported your computer before reinstalling.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?

    How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?

    Here's my favorite scenario:

    1. the user clicks on the button

    2 Save as dialog box displays

    3. the user chooses the place

    4. a set of PDF files download here OR download a single zip file

    Background:

    I want to ensure that the user sees that the files are downloaded. I'm content to users who are not Web warned.

    Concern:

    1. the user has no idea how to find the downloaded files or files have even downloaded.

    2. I would like to deliver all in the form of zip files. Not sure if the automatic opening of zip files still exist.

    FOR INFO:

    I use jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors in the response.

    Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click on a button.

    Click on a button or click on a link, either way you are technically running a script to force a download.

    I guess that's the PHP on the server.

    Yes but it is only a part of it.  Once the form runs, another script is called that opens the browser download dialog.

    Y at - it a php script to call the open/save dialog box?

    Yes.

    
    

    Name this file zip2download.php.

  • On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox

    On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    This may be considered to be solve my problem.
    I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
