  • Tecra S1: Step by step how to reformat HARD drive by using the product recovery CD

    OK guys, I'm about to return my lease (Toshiba Tecra S1); because the video card is 'us' and I would like to reformat the drive and return the system to its original state by using the "product recovery cd-rom provided Toshiba."

    My problem is that the video card is on the right track and using windows is a challenge quite like its like watching a patchwork blanket. So, when you try to use the recovery of product cd-rom, I can just not read the screen "its comparable to the matrix.

    I really need a tutorial step by step with screenshots at each step 'a map of the fool '. Can anyone help.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Robsta

    Believe you did not need the step by step tutorials or shoots screen. The recovery procedure is very simply.

    Put the recovery CD in the CD/DVD drive
    Turn on the laptop and keep C button for a few seconds
    Follow the menu on the screen
    Choose option 1 for installation in Standard mode and just follow what is happening on the screen

    I bought a bunch of desktop computers that came with XP Professional with IBM. I ordered the reinstallation disc, but it worked on one of my computers. Can I get a professional XP disk and install the OS on each individually (they have all their key codes), or do I have to find another way?

    As long as the disc you are using is the exact same OEM disc that would be provided by IBM that would work on these computers. It cannot be a copy in the Windows retail.

    How to create a document and insert the words and/or art on both sides of the page

    How to create a document and insert the words and/or art on both sides of the page

    You create a document by using an application of word processor like Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect or OpenOffice Writer.  Think of it as a broad a page roll.

    When you print the document, you can print all pages of the document on one sheet of paper (the normal default value), or you can print on both sides of a sheet of paper.

    Some printers are capable of automatic double-sided printing.  With others, you print all the odd pages and then take the stack of paper, turn upside down and put it back into the printer to print all pages.  You need either to read your printer manual, or experiment a bit to determine if you need to re - organize the first last pages before printing the second side.

  • Once an unapproved site is added as an exception, how can I go back and delete the exception later?

    Once an unapproved site is added as an exception, how can I go back and delete the exception later?

    Thank you, Jefferson. You addressed the issue beautifully and delightfully complete.

    I found and deleted the server where I got the exception.

    "In the future, I suggest, by making an Exception, uncheck the box that adds a permanent exception. In this way, when you exit Firefox, the exception is removed automatically. »

    AHA. It's very good to know. I missed it when granting the exception today.

    The exception I gave (and now deleted) today wasn't really a risky site. I know the owner. Just a little problem in their relationship.

    Thanks again. And thanks Toddy... I did not say clearly what type of exception.

    I use Illustrator CC and sent a file to a colleague who uses CS6 where all the layers become a great layer.  How can I send it and preserve the layers?

    coledang,

    Save a copy, and in the following options choose CS6.

    In this way, it should open correctly in CS6, and the original document is unscathed.

    You may find that some (new CC) features will not survive the downsaving.

    How can I return it and get the right size stock photo that actually works to post 20 x 30

    Hi Debbie,.

    Once that the photos were allowed, they cannot be removed or not allowed.

    Thus, you must make sure that the image you need for your projects. You can also check the size of the images before their approval.

    Hope that answers your question.

  • How to find and install the audio driver for HP A5HOOEA

    Hi all, have a HP Pavilion g6-1210ea 15.6 "laptop. Can't find an audio driver to install

    Operating system Windows7, error message keeps coming up no audio device installed

    Thank you, Sue

    Hi Sue,

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55026.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you are finished, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

    Chipset Driver - Windows 7.

    After reinstalling, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

    Hello

    You have a set of recovery DVDs, you should be able to start the reinstallation of the operating system by inserting Disc1 into the CD/DVD drive (close a window that can be opened when you do this), then by restarting the laptop to boot from the disc.  As long as the process progresses, you will be asked to insert Disc2 and then later, Disc3.

    Kind regards
