How can I reformat without starting?
I can't start my computer, just get a black screen with a small line of flashing at the top left of the screen. I'm sure I need to reformat, but I don't know how to do this without having to start! What should I do?
It's a Toshiba laptop with Windows XP Home Edition. I don't think that there are service packs or w/e.
Hello
- What were the changes made before the issue occur?
- How long have you been faced with this problem?
Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222
b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.
You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

Please advise and thank you for any help you can give me.
Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...
After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup
How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup
You can by placing a shortcut in the startup folder of windows, just like any other windows program.
However if you do, you are likely to encounter problems such as downloading email while still load the antivirus and the network is busy, announcing the arrival of machines on the network (which can be a network a) and any other program of a dozen are loading is heavy risk of timeouts and disconnections of the server as well as error messages that make little sense because they are something that still load.
The bottom line is so safe that you can, but if there are any questions bring her out of there first.

my module of Fox reminder disappeared after updating firefox. I can install this add-on again, but then I lose all the data that existed before the update. How can I reinstall without losing any data?
Back up your ReminderFox data before reinstalling. This is stored in a separate file in the folder of the parameters active Firefox (also known as your Firefox profile folder). You can find this file by using a button on the page of troubleshooting information. Either:
- Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click on "view file". Look for a folder named reminderfox and copy it somewhere safe.

Is to reinstall windows and reformatting the same windows? How can I reformat windows? TQ.
There are essentially two different methods to "install Windows":
1. a clean install (which is basically all wipes) imply the shape of the disk (or partition).
2. a repair install (which is supposed to leave all your programs and data intact) does not imply the formatting.
Here are some useful guides:

I was backing up my computer for the first time, it took many many records. I think I want to just save photos, documents and contacts. How can I reformat the RW disks so I can reuse them and how to back up only the files?
A little off topic...
I strongly suggest that you buy an external hard drive and do you backup files on it.
With an external hard drive, you can set up a schedule of backup files. All you need to do is turn on the computer > plug the drive Ext. hard and let the computer do the backup when the calendar.
You can leave the computer unattended and want you want to do.Nowadays, an external hard drive of 1 TB of capacity can be had for less than $100, and I quote in Canadian dollars. And I use one.
Imagine that you have to go through the computer for HOURS, feeding the machine with DVD whenever he asks.
I remember he had time, I could not complete backup of files because the computer kept asking for disk #3 while I was on the disk #5 etc.Personally, using DVD for backup of files, it of a waste of your time, childcare of the computer and the loss of your money to buy the DVD.

I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?
Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.
