You jumped with both feet before looking down.

Gather all your installation media (CD & DVD & download installers for stuff) and all your product key/serial number (proof of purchase and use rights) and install the applications.  Then use your last backup (this is something that you did, right?  -you have backed up your documents, photos, music, videos, favorite internet, emails, contacts, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, etc. so that if the computer was lost to you somehow, you had your stuff...?) and restore your personal affairs.

If you do not have installers for your applications, product keys and the serial numbers for the products purchased and the backups of your files - then you are out of luck.  You have erased the hard drive of your computer and installed a clean operating system.  * Poof *.

  • FireFox is no longer crash recovery of open tabs. Management of tab has changed. How can I get the old behavior?

    All my old tabs are missing after a crash. I chose "view my tabs, windows and last time ', like the start option. Many unwanted changes in tab management happened recently. For example when I close a tab in a window of the two tab, I see a blank screen (see picture). Preview display seems to be broken (see attachment). How can I get the old behaviour back?

    After researching the issue, it seems that the problem was a problem of NoScript configuration. After restoring NoScript to the default values, the tab number disappeared.

    Thanks for your help.

    How can I get rid of the program: Win32 / Torpump virus/malware microsft security only partially deleted scannner?

    Hello

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • How can I get the old search wizard on windows vista/windows 7?

  • How can I get my old firefox back?

    I don't like this new blue one and has not asked for it, this is all of a sudden. In addition, it has a really strange behavior. For example, just now I have 5 tabs open firefox. The first is a question on your forum. When I clicked on the link "ask a question" at the top of the page, it opens the next page in a new tab. And when I clicked on the find on this page button, it opens another tab again. This tab was asked what product I want support with and open another tab with the next page. And yet 10 minutes ago it worked fine. He retains it, doing suddenly change his mind about how he opens new pages.
    In addition, I can be through a page using the scroll on my mouse wheel, then suddenly it stops scrolling and starts to do the top page or less instead. Why he keep changing his mind on what he does?
    Really don't like this new browser and would appreciate that I could get my old one back that worked perfectly well and really no need to upgrade.

    It is possible that some of the keys to the State and possible other keys have the bad state and consider Firefox as always in a hurry.

    Try pressing all the keys (shift, Ctrl, Alt) state several times to see if that helps to recover from this.
    Is it didn't help and then close and restart Firefox or restart the computer.

    You can watch the classic extension theme restaurateur restore some features that has been lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

    • You can check the settings of the extension of the CTR through the Options/preferences button on the page "Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions.
    • You can find additional toolbar buttons and additional toolbar settings in customize (Firefox 3-bar menu button > customize)

  • How can I get my old iMac Mavericks on my new computer El Capitan iPhoto?

    I'm an amateur photo with literally thousands of photos of scenic and nature, all labeled with keywords and manually marked locations (since my DSLR is not an internal GPS and therefore cannot automatically geotag photos) in iPhoto on our old computer that runs on the Mavericks. Recently, we bought a new iMac that runs on El Capitan, and when we moved my data from the old computer, all of my iPhoto library moved into Photos. Unfortunately, because the pictures does not support the manual tagging locations, all hours of work I put in dropping the pins on maps to show the exact location where all my photos have been taken has disappeared. Enter Photos and keywords to adapt to all of the States, cities and specific locations where these pictures were taken just is not practical; my list of keywords would get horribly difficult to handle, and a good number of these photos were taken in "one-of-a-kind" tasks because they were taken on the fly from a moving vehicle. And that is not even taking into consideration all overtime work that would result. There must be someone out there who is dealing with the frustration of having to deal with a system that was designed for the casual snapshot-takers rather than serious photo enthusiasts! I still have the old computer with iPhoto installed on it and all the photos that I put in it until we bought the new computer. Is it possible that I can get the old computer to the new iPhoto? Can I put it on an external drive or DVD and copy it to the El Cap computer as iPhoto, or will it simply push all in Photos or choke and gag on that? I continue to work with my photos in iPhoto on your old computer, and I hope that he does not die in the near future? (And while we're at it, has any outside me informed Apple photos how bad works for those who need features in iPhoto that does not get incorporated in the Photos? I left a note on the comments, but I have no way of knowing if someone is on my suggestion.)

    Click here and try following the instructions; you will only be able to do if you got before where associated with iPhoto on the Mac App store.

    A version of aged more than 9.6 iPhoto does not open in Yosemite and newer.

  • I used email TB. My Windows 10 has crashed and had to be reimagee. I reinstalled TB. How can I get my old emails in my new installation of tuberculosis?

    I used TB on system W10, very well. MS has pushed an upgrade for W10 and it totally screwed my system. I had to reimage my system with W10. That worked well, was supposed to keep my data but amazed my programs. This turned out to be true that I reinstalled my programs and data for them were always there. I reinstalled TB, has functioned well, currently able to download all new emails, but I can't find my old emails or my old profile name. Can someone tell me where to look my old data, if by chance its still there? I guess that's all my data was still there, but you never know people with MS.

    OK, think about it. Old profile is located in the Windows.old folder. You can move your old profile from the windows.old folder and place it in the current profile folder, and then go and change your profiles.ini and remove your new profile name and enter in your old profile name, then restart TB. Worked like a champ.

  • How can I get the old behavior back to switching tab?

    I have installed Firefox 8 today to give him another chance after a pretty bad experience of the passage of the FF 3.6 to the FF 4.0.
    Right now, I am dealing with most of the disadvantages of the switch, but it is something I don't understand.

    What happened to the behavior of the tab navigation? I mean, I used to be able to switch from left to right tabs with Ctrl + Tab and from right to left with Ctrl + Shift + Tab. And it was perfect for me.
    CTRL + Tab now opens a kind of a window to preview, and Ctrl + Shift + Tab opens a list of all the tabs.

    How could I get the behavior previous return? I'm too used to change myself, everything just because someone came up with a new way that he thought would be better.

    Thank you.

    Found the answer by myself, thanks to the other post here . Looks like that control Preview tab had itself turned on for some reason any...
