How can restore files & apps after a PC Refresh (without having to buy anything)?

After that my daughter was using my PC, I discovered that she had accidentally made an update of the complete system (apparently distracted by her little brother). She was just looking around and clicking on things randomly, trying to learn more about the PC, but now all my files & apps disappeared and nothing has yet been saved. Help, please! I have the list of deleted files & apps but no idea how to get back them. I found a site that says it can do anything but I have to buy their product and I'd rather not.

Things you tile store... Just go to the store... and then right-click on the graphics and a top bar opens... says something about the installed applications...  Look there and you can reinstall your purchased applications or all the other apps you had installed.

If the documents and pictures are gone... they are very likely gone forever if you don't have the file history or did not have any backups.      Same thing with your Desktop installed programs, so no system image or no restore disc - theyre gone manufacturer.   You will need to send an email and get your registration key product and new downloads if you do not have the cd/dvd to reinstall these paid programs.

    Assuming that you are dealing with a PDF file provided by the IRS, you will not be able to e-sign. but you can fill the fields using Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The version of form W-9 that I have does not include a date field, but you can use the feedback tool add text to add a date. You can also digitally sign or use the annotation of pencil tool to draw a signature.

  • How can I get my mouse to grab things without having to click on the buttons, if I have the touch mouse on my laptop?

    How can I get my mouse to grab things without having to click on the buttons, if I have the touch mouse on my laptop?

    You will need to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse and see if the settings for the mouse pad have a function called "Tap-to-click" or something similar in the description.  The exact name of this feature differs depending on the manufacturer of the software for the mouse.

    If you do not see this option to be available, you will have to probably go to the support site for the manufacturer of your PC and download the latest drivers for your model computer mouse pad and install.  Once installed, go back to the mouse settings in the Control Panel, where you will most likely available additional settings after the driver installed.  I hope that the "Tap-to-click" function will be available to turn on or off.

  • Is there anything I can do to find my original product key without having to buy a whole new?

    Original title: my product key is passed out to

    My my laptop product key is missing so I can see it only slightly, and I don't have the CD or anything else. Now my lap top doesn't let me access my desktop. Is there anything I can do to find my original product key without having to buy a whole new?

    ... my lap top won't let me access my desktop...

    If your laptop is you allowing access to your office and you can run a program, download the Belarc Advisor and run it on the computer. Among a large amount of hardware and software information will be the original product code for your Windows Vista and any desktop software you have loaded.

    If need be, download it from another computer and transfer the file of configuration via USB stick, CD or network.

  • How can I close all the tabs at once without having to restart Firefox

    At a time, how can another closing a tab I close all my tabs without having to restart Firefox

    On a Mac, you can close the window and open a new window to achieve this. Which does not close the Firefox application. You can also a right tab and choose "Close other tabs" from the context menu.

    Set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab pref false on the topic: page config to prevent closing the last tab to close the browser and display a close button if only one tab is open.

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    • Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
    • Preferences that have changed see the bold (user set).
    • Preferences you can restore the default value or change via the context menu.

    How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?

    Hello

    There are several potential issues at stake here.

    First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.

    Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side.  If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."

    Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key.  You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.

    Hope that helps.

  • How can I select all the stamps to PDF without having to click on each individual?

    I use stamps and the text box feature to tag engineering drawings in abobe acrobat 10. Revisions sometimes come to ever work on drawings, so I need to transfer my job through. Usually I just hold down control and click on each stamp and box text, and then press CTRL + C to copy all of them. However, sometimes there are 200 + stamps on a single PDF file and click on each without letting go of CONTROL is much more difficult than it looks.

    Any ideas on how to make a function "select all"? (the real select all does not work in this case, it searches for the words).

    Thank you

    Stamps are essentially comments. Therefore, they appear in the list of comments,

    where you can easily select them by clicking inside the list, then

    by pressing Ctrl + A.

  • How can I view or load a flash drive without having to download all the content.

    Previously, with assistant, there was an option to do NOTHING to DO when you plug in a device (USB, CD key or camera), but I don't see this option now?  The program automatically downloads all of the volume that makes multiple copies if you keep a few pictures on your device.  Often, I want only the low load one or two images to work with photoshop.

    It won't automatically download/run except in the AutoPlay window origonal you had selected an option and then clicked allways this.

    Reset the auto run settings

  • How can I navigate through a series of images without having to create slides for each image?

    Hello

    I'm working on a project, where I want the user to navigate through a series of photo. Insofar as I have solved the problem by creating a slide for each image and assigning the next and back button to go to previous slide / next. The problem here, it's that sometimes there is a slight lag during the passage of the blade to slide. Is there an elegant way to solve this problem?

    Thank you

  • How to make a loop that records data block without having to navigate to it

    I have a form with 2 tabs. Tab_1 displays the information of the monitor and tab_2 raw_data (that the user attempts to insert/update or delete) for the monitor. The two tabs have a button 'Post production', which messages the raw_data (in tab_2) to the database. If it is an update operation, I have to check if a column_value_1 has changed from what is present in the comic book. If so, then the user should be given a warning. The warning would be appropriate if the column_value_1 for any 1 record is changed. Therefore, the comparison can be stopped after first difference. The code in the when_button_pressed trigger looks like

    go_block (raw_data());
    first record;
    loop
    If value_changed then
    v_alert: = true;
    "exit";
    end if;
    IF: SYSTEM. LAST_RECORD = "TRUE" THEN
    EXIT;
    ON THE OTHER
    NEXT_RECORD;
    END IF;
    end loop;

    If v_alert then
    display_alert;
    end if;

    This should work fine if I'm in tab_2 (which displays the block of raw_data). But if I hit the 'Post production' button tab_1, go_block (raw_data()) would go to tab_2, I do not want to make. So, how can I browse the raw_Data in tab_2 block without having to navigate to this tab?

    Prosper,

    I don't have what it is possible to loop in a block without having to navigate to it. Instead, you can navigate to the control you are calling by GO_ITEM integrated.

    Kind regards

    Manu.
