How to pause / stop the backup of Windows 7
I'm 250 GB of mainly files mp3 and jpeg on a 500 G USB backup hard drive. The backup has been ongoing for 48 hours now and is (according to the progress bar) 5% full. The option to display details do not display anything. I want to cancel the backup and reduce the scope of the directories backed up, but the Setup option is grayed out and I can't figure out how to cancel the backup. Can anyone help?
in the bar of windows startup, "backup" in the search box, open "Backup and Restore" and in the new window, you will have a button that will allow you to cancel the backup, but also where you can adjust the backup options

On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backupThis may be considered to be solve my problem.
I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
Thank you for all your help and advice. -

How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock
How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock... I am new to windows 8 and I do not... I much prefer to have windows 7 return... any suggestions?
I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function. The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".
This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.hope this helps -
I have questions about the backup of Windows 8.
Original title: backup of Windows 8
Hello, I have two questions regarding windows 8 backup (office). I just bought a new laptop hard drive WD to use for the backup of my computer. Until I plug it to my computer, are there recommendations on what to do for any software that could be on this drive. In previous portable drives that I used, when I plug in they usually form any software that is used for the default backup. According to me, a mark was memeo. I would avoid any conflict with the windows backup software that is part of windows-8, so I ask for advice before I plug this new drive.
The second issue is that I probably backup my computer so that I can do a clean install of my OS of windows 8. What is the best way to prepare my hard drives so that I get the best possible instillation? The instillation of my previous is considered to be defective and I don't want to wear one of these errors in the new instillation. It would be appreciated also all the tips on how to deal with the backup for this project and transfer my files on the computer. Uses the best utility to backup windows to do this, or is there another type of software I should use? Thank you.
Salvation of the brain,
Thank you for the update.
