  Re-install firefox without losing any data?

  There is a rash that goes around, and the solution is not yet clear 100%. I suggest try reinstalling this way:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it is not about the deletion of your settings, it comes to ensure that program files are-own and contain no alien code files. As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 37.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Any improvement?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• How can I copy properties related without losing the connection to the control?

  I have dealt with a problem that is boring when copying / pasting properties. If the properties are bound to a control when copy them, they lose this link in the pasted version.

  Basically, the paste does not really the expected behavior of 'copy', 'paste' that results is different from the copied item. Is there a way to get around this in addition to having to go to each of them and re - link manually?

  Here are the excerpts to demonstrate the problem:

  Before pasting

  

  After pasting:

  

  So the solution then, as I found from reading the post of the wish list, is to CTRL-click and drag.

  You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

  Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

• How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

  Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

  I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

  Hi Zling,

  It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

• How can I install Windows 8 of my 1.5 TB external harddrive without formatting?

  Well I finally decided to move to Windows 8 (starting from Windows 7 x 64), but I'm stuck in a weird situation here...  I image .iso Windows 8 with me but I will not be burn on a DVD, the only option would be either use a USB key or an external HARD disk... Unfortunately my 16 GB USB DRIVE no longer works (and the .iso image file does not in my other USB drives I had remaining)... So I decided to use my drive external HARD on the contrary - but there's another problem... about 750 GB on my HARD drive is full (there are all my files, movies, music, games, etc) and the rest is 'empty '...

  So, how can I install Windows 8 of this external HARD drive without formatting? Since I don't have any other "spare" hard drives or USB keys with a lot more storage capacity...  And I can't keep them in my laptop because it has only 500 GB...

  Can I partition my external HARD drive and secure all my files in one partition, and format the other partition to use it to install Windows 8 on my laptop somehow...?

  You can create a partition on your HARD drive and install Windows inside with Universal USB Installer
  Here's how you create a new Partition

  • Open disk management
  • Right click on the partition that you want to split > Shrink > select size > Ok
  • Unallocated space will appear
  • Right-click on > Format give a letter

  OR you can install windows on a different partition from your internal HARD drive

  You can create a partition in the internal drive and extract files inside Windows and make it bootable with EasyBCD (3rd party free program to change startup options and other things)
  • Create a new partition using disk management
  • Extract the files to install Windows inside
  • Open EasyBCD > add new item > WinPE > search for X:\Sources\boot.wim > add
  • Reboot and choose the new element added to the startup in

  I used this method once and it worked

  If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

  Your product key for Windows 7 Professional should have been sent to your email address if you bought it on the Microsoft Store.

  Find your key product if your purchase of Microsoft Store:
  http://store.Microsoft.com/Help/FAQ?Err=T2#AT2

  If you have Windows 7 Professional installed, you can retrieve the key now:

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

  (He did a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

  Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
  and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
  and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features.

  There is no Express of Home Basic Upgrade to the professional, so you have bought a license for sale at retail.

  Because it has been previously installed, you may need to reactivate by phone:

  Activate Windows 7 manually:
  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.
