How can I recover Favorites and passwords after a change of operating system and older programs are listed in a windows.old folder?
Recently, I had a fatal crash of my Windows XP Pro system. I clean installed Vista (would not allow an upgrade installation), and it offers all my settings and programs in a windows.old folder. I wish I could recover my passwords stored (even if I have to go manually) and my favorites for Firefox. I was running version 4 at the time of the accident of the o/s. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Just as I expected. Before you follow my instructions, you may need to change your folder options to show hidden files. Now go to:
C:/Windows.old/documents and Settings / < user on XP name > / Application Data
And copy the text to the Mozilla folder for
C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla
If the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it.
Now in C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings / < user name on XP > / Local Settings/Application Data
And copy the text within the Mozilla folder in
C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Local/Mozilla
Yet once, if the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it and rename it to Mozilla.
I hope this helps!

How can I recover an iMovie video after the accidental deletion of iMovie?
Hi all
I got a file from an old iPhone on my iMovie app and then accidentally deleted the application itself. How can I get the video?
He is not on any backup so I'll need to find it on my Mac.
Thank you
The file itself should always be on the hard disk.
If you know the name of the file, try to use Spotlight to find it.
Click the magnifying glass icon top right of your screen type the file name.
The basics of the Mac: Spotlight helps you find what you are looking for
If you can't find this file name, try a format iMovie such as DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV and M4V

How can I recover no. Diplay after failed Bios update BIOS?
Compaq Presario F768WM
BIOS before 30EAF05
Has been updated to 30EAF0A
I tried to make a start with HP-Tools UEFI USB recovery but not sure what to put in what folder to try to get it fixed.
Is there the detaied instructions on how to prepare your bios on the USB files? I tried Crisdisk. I tried a USB bootable to Windows 98 with a file autoexec.bat and phlash.exe with 30EAF05.wph to try to recover the BIOS that was on it. But I don't know if he does something because I do not see what show. I do the key win + B and the USB light, blinks several times then turns on or turns off according to which usb I use.
Any suggestions? I hope that this is not hopelssssss!
I finally get it! I used a floppy usb and Crisdisk and managed to do its stuff. Now have a fully functional laptop again. A big thank you to all who help out. Solved

is it possible to reformat a shooting script in more than one layout of standard script, because...
If you rewrite the dialogue, action, any part of the real-world scenario, then want to print in the layout traditional scenario, how? My 106 page script became 180 pages when I started shooting script and went from there. How can I get this back to its traditional format - no comments, shots, etc.
We understand the frustration, and I think that I have a work around for the problem. You must use a different template (attached) so that there is enough space to fit the lines of the camera.
- Save the file shootingscripttemplate.xml to your local disk
- Open a film script
- Click anywhere you want to add a
- Go to the menu of the production, and then select Production-> camera shot
- In the confirmation dialog box, choose the option "continue without saving a version". Click on continue
- Enter information about the shooting, and then click ok
- Note that the format of script has changed and your photo is displayed on the left. (see page 1 of the PDF)
- The menu view deselect the option Unit pictures (Page 2)
- Now, go into the Menu Edition and select Edit-> model
- Choose 'Film' model in the menu drop-down to return to the original, formatting of the script with the plans of camera in there but not visible. (page 3)
- Your script should now look similar to page 4 of the PDF file
- Choose Edition--> model again and now import the model attached shooting script so that you can view the same script as the shooting script.
- The imported model will be the automatic loading values in the model.
- From the view menu and select the option from the camera . Your script should now look similar to page 6 of the PDF
- Switch between templates when you want to work on the camera shots and when you do not.
You can add the shooting script template to your favorite by designs:
- Switch to the display of the projects
- By clicking the new button on the top right of the screen
- Select a movie script in the menu drop-down.
- Click the button change the model, Page 8 of the PDF file
- Now, click Import and select the model of shooting script in your player. Click OK, then ok again
- Click Cancel
- The shootingscripttemplate is now available in the drop-down menu when you go to Edition-> view creating a script model.
I hope this helps.

I have a request that I wrote and have been use and distribute for awhile. The installer I created for this application is an additional installer to install a driver for the USB connection. The USB connection is actually a virtual COM Port. The problem is that the people who drafted modified driver setup the installation program itself. They used to have an installer that would check for 32-bit or 64-bit OS and then install the appropriate driver.
Now, they have two distinct installation programs: one for the other for 32-bit and 64-bit. They let the user know their OS and install the appropriate driver. I'd rather not have to rely on my users to do. From what I've seen the creater Installer provides that an executable to be run after the application installs.
Is it possible to have the installer of the application, check the type of OS and then run the correct executable file after installing my application? I think that I could write an Installer 'wrapper' that checks the type of operating system then executes the correct Installer. But I expect a better solution.
Thank you
JoeSo, I make it work!
The trick is to find a way to determine what type of OS you are using. The method I used was, indeed, read the environment variable. A buddy of mine sent me this link:
http://StackOverflow.com/questions/2401756/how-to-find-if-the-machine-is-32bit-or-64bit One of the phrases he bibliography the Processor_Architecture environment variable.
It seemed like a reasonable idea. So I started to research how read LV it environment variables turns out, you do it by reading a registry key. There is an example of LV on how to read a registry key. But I did not know where they are in the registry. So, I searched the Processor_Architecture registry. I found it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment.
According to the article in the link, this value will already be x 86 for a 32 bit OS, or something with 64 inside. I just check the response for x 86 string. If it is, I just run the x 86 version of the driver Installer. Otherwise, I run the x 64 version.
It turned out to be as simple as that.
I hope this helps someone.

Can I put molten automotive leave after my Vista guest operating system stop?
I use a single operating system to prompt with my Fusion facility. Is Windows Vista. Usually, I use the Vista environment a few minutes each day to run Quicken. So I don't want to have Fusion it running all day or anything like that. Ideally, I would like to be able to launch the VM in Vista, do my job to Quicken for a few minutes and then stop Vista and then it automatically also have stop and exit merger entirely. By default, the virtual machine stops and let me melt which I must then also release the mouse or keystrokes. Is there a toggle to implement the merger while it automatically closes after the last VM running is stop or something like that?
A quick way to stop the virtual machine and exit the merger is:
Go to the VMware Fusion menu-> preferences... Select when a virtual machine is closed: power off the virtual machine.
Then, when you want to close the virtual machine and quit the merger, just command + Q or VMware Fusion-> quit VMware Fusion.
Your virtual computer will stop and Fusion will automatically exit.
It will be useful.

How can I recover my backup password because I forgot it on my HP laptop?
I forgot my password to my HP laptop backup. When I hit reset password and Password Wizard turns on, I struck then and plug my USB drive but it tells me to enter the password reset disk. (WHICH I DID NOT). I put a new cd - r disc and it tells me that there is not a disk valid! Help! What should I do? I need to get this going as quickly as possible to retrieve my notes for the work at the end of the week.
Jimmy,
If you are referring to login your account password, a password reset disk is something that cannot be made in advance. You can not retrieve or reset your existing password if you already have a password reset disk or written the password down somewhere unless you have an additional account on the computer that has the power to Admin-level at which case you can use it to reset the password for the account of the problem.
In this forum, no one can advise a remedy except reinstalling Windows.
