How can I get my copy saved Windows XP with the return to lose all current data?

I had my PC worked on so I could play better. This tech guy did some work was right but put windows xp pro service pack 3. on this subject. He said it was legal and he went from checking. He did it for about 6 months. I lost my power in a storm and when I succeeded him and pulled upward it did not check my copy of 'registered '.

Hi Maddmaatt,

Thanks for posting. A few hardware changes may report a reactivation of your OS. To activate XP as he asks and take the phone option. The helpline can provide you with the new activation keys.

I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

    Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

    Hi NickieA,

    It seems that your Windows XP is preinstalled on your computer.  If this is the case, you should be able to return to the manufacturer of the computer for request restore media/install disk.  They may charge you a fee according to the manufacturer.

    I hope this helps!

  • How can I get my Firefox persona to work with the new version of Firefox?

    It worked fine, then my computer automatically updated Firefox and my persona background disappeared. It is listed as active on the backgrounds of modules in the modules Manager. I Foxkeh tail stir. I went and reinstalled but it still does not come. I went to the personas firefox page and tried to install a different character. NONE of them work now. How can I get my background persona back?

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in (permanent) private browsing mode.

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
    • Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.

    When you're in private browsing mode then the character is disabled and you get the default theme and a purple icon of PB in the menu button on the side of the right end of the menu bar (bar of tabs on Linux) or Firefox and "(navigation privée)" added to the title bar. "

  • How can I save a copy of a form with the ipad?

    I use a pdf form that was created with Acrobat DC on a PC I want to be a "master form.

    I have the mobile ipad acrobat form and send it to me. (Customer1)

    When I view the file, the information is correct.

    I then try to modify the form a second time record and send to myself. (Customer2)

    I discovered the second file and the information is correct, however when I discovered the first file the first information of file is overwritten by the second. I guess it's because that is the that I am editing the same file.

    Is there a way using mobile Acrobat on ipad for "save under" that would change the current file name so the master pdf is not replaced?

    Hi brennang90831446,

    That's right, that information will be overwritten that you work on the same file. There is no save option slot in the mobile application.  all changes automatically get saved in the existing file and the same results seen next time.

    Kind regards

    See the response of Mike Hall, but also, note the following:

  • How can I get a copy of the file < windows > \system32\hal.dll.

    How can I get a copy of the file \system32\hal.dll.   ?

    There are 7 possibilities for the hal.dll file and the installation of XP takes the right one to match your hardware during the installation of XP.

    That's why replace a bit difficult because you need to know which of the 7 on the XP installation CD you need.  You can guess and try things and you might get lucky, or you can try them all.  That would take some time and probably be frustrating and you would need a CD bootable XP installation genuine to start the trials and errors.

    Replace the hal.dll file becomes even more difficult, because most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, even if they wanted to replace the hal.dll file.  If you really want just a copy, you can understand that one you need or just copy the one you already have.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers don't ask for enough information when a new question is asked to provide you with a good idea for your problem not specified.  For all that is your problem not specified, you will need to provide additional information.

    If you see the message that your hal.dll file is missing or damaged, the chances are that the file is not really missing or damaged... Windows XP just can not find the file.

    Fix hal.dll "missing or corrupted" message is usually not too demanding and has nothing to do with the replacement of the file.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What you see you don't think you need to see?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Hello

    If Vista is preinstalled contact the Manufacter computer and ask them to send recovery discs; what they should do for a small fee.

    And ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    If you have not deleted this partition (you tell how wipe you the hard drive!) you press F10 or F11, etc at startup to start the process of relocation.

    Ask the manufacturer for their combination of button to do this, if it is always an option for you.
