* original title - did a new install of xp pro, but I have no key to turn on how can I go back to my previous version *.

Hi adamburrage,

If you want to go back, you can see the manual of the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and check if you can restore to factory on your computer.

If you have the part number of the Windows XP CD, I recommend you contact Microsoft customer support for assistance Service team. They will check the part number & check if the new product key can be issued.

For more information, please visit: how and when to contact Microsoft and support Customer Service

Hope the helps of information.

Please post back and we do know.

  • A multitude of problems with 4.0.1: how to revert to a previous version?

    Updated my Firefox, I must say that I have never been so disappointed in Mozilla in my 10 years of use. The 4.0.1 release is currently in such a small feature that I've switched back to Safari until either 1) current bugs are fixed, 2) a new version comes out, 3) I can revert to the previous version.

    I have questions include some superficial questions such as:
    -Satisfied with the new positioning of the tabs (prefer under the address bar)
    -Satisfied with the new location of the buttons update
    -Tabs rarely save after the closure of FF as they have in previous versions
    -On my Mac, can generally use the touchpad to zoom in and out of pages, which is useful with small text or when I try to view lots of photos at the same time as thumbnails. This no longer works with the new version.

    However, the problems that forced my switch on have been at a more serious level:
    -Substantially slower page load
    -Refreshing seems to "time out" as the fact click on links sometimes, so that clicking on a link or to refresh a page should be done two or three times before it to load in fact

    And the biggest problem:
    -FF now locked up my Mac very frequently while I 'force quit' it. When I say "very often" I mean that it is not uncommon for me to have to force stop two to four times in a one hour period. When I FF pulls up and it is on the page to restore the tabs, I now just create a new session. If I try to restore the tabs, it tends to lock up again immediately.

    Information to go back to the previous version enjoyed. However, I saw a few complaints that doing so may clear Favorites, & etc. I would really like to avoid rather.

    Downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first of all uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option 'remove my Firefox personal data '. If you select this option, it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox

    Then you can install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your favorite courses, passwords etc.

    I recommend, to avoid possible problems with decommissioning, accessing your profile folder and delete the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Delete these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, check their compatibility and cancel the toolbar customizations.

    For more information on how to find your profile folder, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How to revert to the previous version. Last update makes the new windows appear less of a complete new window should appear.

    I have my system tell me when a new update is available. Happened today. I downloaded the latest update. My Firefox now sits at 38.0.1.

    I use no legs. I want a new separate window for all that I opened. Since the upgrade this morning... when I open a new window, it is fine. But when I click on something in that window when a new opens up and it doesn't seem to be an entirely new window. There is no tool bar and it doesn't seem to be a way to have displayed toolbars. So I have no control over this new window except to reduce to a minimum or nearby. That's all. It does not appear as a tab either.

    It sucks! This was?

    How to return to the previous version before upgrading this morning? Otherwise I'll have to find another application to use other than Firefox, because I don't like it at all.

    Thank you

    Another solution is to modify some hidden settings related to windows dialog style. Should not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    Here are the steps:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

  • How can I remove the previous version of Windows Vista?

    I have the latest version of Firefox on the PC.  I have the 10.1.4.38 installed Player Version.  I see on my plug-ins told me that "Version 9.5.1 and less has been blocked for your protection."  Which would mean that there is a previous version of the player installed or maybe partially installed still?  How would I check this?  I can send screenshots to help you to diagnose the problem if possible.

    I suggest that you

    Before you without expenses of return, which is expected to take a few hours, you should spend a few minutes making sure that your drivers are up-to-date, especially your graphics cards.

  • Back to the previous version of Windows.

    When I install Windows Tech Preview, it will erase Windows 8 or keep it in the disk hard where I want to install Windows 8 of my hard drive.

    If you install Windows 8 a upgrade, you can use the restore feature.

    How to recover / restore your previous version of Windows by using the restore feature

    Points to remember:

    Given that Microsoft made available the first version of the preliminary version of Windows 10 in early October 2014, there was a misunderstanding that this is not a product you use to replace a facility for production of Windows such as Windows 8 or 7 or Vista. On the other hand, if you test it on one machine, the best recommendation is to create a partition or have a spare ready hard drive where you can install it. Windows 10 in its current state of the pre-release will expire, and at the same time, it's unfinished work. So if you need to evaluate it, the best way is by installing it next to your commercial installation of Windows.

    Benefits

    The benefits of testing 10 Windows on a physical partition or hard disk compared to a Virtual Machine include full access to the material, which includes memory, graphics and input/output of the local disk performance can take full advantage of all the features of the operating system that are not accessible in a virtual environment. The biggest advantage is, you do not lose your production facility in Windows and you can restart it at any time.

    Points to consider before:

    Backup your current Windows installation. Because you're going to make changes on your computer, you should always back up before doing so. It is strongly recommended! See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

  • Between tabs causes errors and move to tab into its own window. How can this be fixed or should I revert to a previous version again?

    Firefox updated on me in the later version (without my permission) which can be well except, now, whenever I have change the tabs, repeat me Javascript error, bad data and something about it being private, which lift then the tab into another window. I don't want a bunch of windows, I want as my tabs, and I don't like having to put my tabs in place whenever I have to go. It becomes extremely annoying. How can this be fixed or should I revert to a previous version again?

  • How can I get the previous version of the cc of muse

    The last update, cause once more, error messages while opening muse - would like to revert to a version of 2014 so that I could get my clients website updated, however an earlier version is not listed on the toolbar of the CC apps... any ideas how can I download previous versions Muse CC

    Back in March reported you an error "XML parser failure" during the open, and it seems that the report was never addressed. This error is caused by damage within a .muse file that will require further investigation. Go back to a previous version of Muse will not fix the problem. When you are working with an older version of Muse and do not encounter the error, it was simply because you had not yet worked the file share where the damage. When a file is updated to a newer version of Muse, the entire file is read and written. Paving in a newer version the problem immediately. (Perform a save as in your earlier version of Muse had to report an error and stop, because he would have tried to read all the objects in the file and would have met the damage.)

    Please send us the .muse file at [email protected] as well as a link to this topic. If the file is larger than 20 MB, you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (if you use a service, please include your email address in the body of the message back, given that not all services to include it in the invite sharing they send.)

    This specific error is more often reported for a file where some outside force has changed the file. More often it is faulty/defective storage media. With luck the damage is related to a small area in the file and can be repaired or removed. If the damage is very widespread in the file, save what remains may or may not be possible.

    Latest versions of Muse are available for installation via the Cloud Desktop creative application. However, they are listed only if Muse is not already installed. If you want to revert to a previous version of Muse, first uninstall Muse, and then select the version you want in the list next to Muse in the section 'PREVIOUS VERSIONS' of the desktop CC application.

  • How to return to a previous version of Firefox

    I hate the current version of Firefox and was much happier with the previous version. I fear I do not know what is the current version number and do not know what was the number of previous version, but as far as I know it was the last before this new version.

    How to return to the previous version, while keeping all of my addons and bookmarks? If I can get the previous version that I will definitely store them on my computer so I don't have to ask this question again.
