• HP ENVY m6-n113dx Notebook PC: new installation of Windows 8 on HP Envy and with problems of drivers.

  I have a laptop HP Envy M6 and it came with Windows pre-installed on it 8.1. I always do a new installation of Windows, whenever I have buy a laptop that I hate all the bloatware and stuff which they pre-install on it.

  Unfortunately, when I did, I found that the drivers on the HP website do not work for some things, especially my wi - fi.

  In Device Manager there are three things that make their appearance as having a problem:

  Network controller:

  PCI\VEN_168C & DEV_0036 & SUBSYS_217F103C & REV_01

  Unknown device:

  ACPI\VEN_HPQ & DEV_6001

  Unknown device:

  ACPI\VEN_HPQ & DEV_6007

  If anyone can provide me with some drivers work, I would be incredibly grateful. I called HP and they told me all I can do is to pay $40 for a CD delivered to me so I can reinstall the version of bloatware, and I really want to do. I want to use my real version of Windows 8 and not pay for something I don't even want.

  Thank you!

  Nevermind, I fixed it myself by reading old son of Paul_Tikkanen

  I used http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php

  and found the diver that I needed, and now I don't have to pay $40 for the version of bloatware.  Yay!

  Thank you Paul!

• Can I request a new installation for Vista disk and drivers of my laptop after formatting my hard drive?

  I have a stubborn reality and impossible to get rid of the virus on my main hard drive and I think to format and to nine.  I want to know if there is a way to get a new installation of Vista for a clean install disc and a disk for the drivers of my laptop.

  Other info: number of grain of Vista is ripped but I have the model number for my laptop if that should be necessary.

  Hello

  After you have lost your product key shrinks your methods

  key finder programs won't asssit you if it is preinstalled

  Here are the different ways let you reinstall vista;

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• HP Pavilion dv6-6c02ax Windows 7 drivers

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6c02ax with a new installation of Windows 7 on it and a few devices that pilots are coming up as not found.

  They are as follows:

  BCM20702AO

  SM Bus controller

  (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

  (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

  Where can I find the drivers for these devices. USB would normally be covered by the chipset driver, but it's not on my support page products. When I used the utility to detect my drivers and update updated some said but now I have everything but I do not have.

  Can someone tell me please in the right direction?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi, Steve:

  I don't understand why HP does not include the AMD chipset drivers for AMD laptops.

  Their products all based Intel have the drivers (chipset, USB 3.0, etc.), all on the laptop support and driver page.

  They gave you a real double-blow hard.  No driver chipset and no driver Broadcom Bluetooth!

  So, here are the drivers you need...

  First, install the AMD chipset driver and restart. This will install the SMBus Controller and USB 3.0 controllers.

  You want the first file listed.

• Has made a new installation, now Dell 962 printer will work not (Win7)

  So all of the facts are:

  I got a virus on my computer of who knows where. Whatever she is, she decided to remove part of my hard drive. So I had a few antivirus and anti-malware programs, and they did too good a job - I damaged my registry.

  If I had no other choice, but do a re-install. I didn't do a new installation; This is the option where all he moved to Windows.old. If the computer is good again, except that my printer is not working correctly.

  First, I tried the drivers from the Web site. I tried R151565, which should have done the job. This configuration is behaving oddly, however. It is scheduled to end after he installed the All in One Center, and it is supposed to leave me with a printer that works. This isn't.

  Then, since it was a re - install, I had to install updates. An update of the driver from dell was one of them. So I thought that this would solve things. The update was successful, but my printer is not installed.

  It never happened to me. The printer is not compatible, or it works. This feels like the printer is in limbo. So, I tried to think about what might be wrong. I looked in devices and printers, and there that caveat to sign on my printer. Then I looked in the devices, and I noticed this strange thing

  

  Why do I have two entries for a printer? This must be an allusion to the problem, but I do not know the answer. I imagine that there must be at least one person who has encountered this kind of problems. Please, help me. Research has brought me here many times, but I could not find a solution that matches my problem

  Hi KenLJ,

  Thanks for writing on the Dell Community Forum.

  We recommend doing a clean install of the operating system. Asking you to back up data from the Windows.old folder. Please use this link http://dell.to/1sU6QJ3 to restore your Windows 7 computer to factory settings. If this option does not work, then you can manually reinstall Windows 7 using this link http://dell.to/1mN6P6v. If you want the printer don't work, please uninstall the printer driver. Unplug the printer from the computer. Download the printer driver from this link http://dell.to/1IXOCus and install it. Connect the cable from the printer to the system only when the system prompts you to connect the cable. Continue with the installation, and it would print the test page once it is installed. There are two entries in the Device Manager, one for the scanner and the other is for the printer.

  Answer please if you have any other questions.

• Need Driver for HP Pavilion DV6-6c38TX WLAN

  Hey everybody,

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion DV6-6c38TX and decided to wipe and upgrade them with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate.

  This means, of course, I need drivers for some hardware components and am fine with everything except WLAN.

  I tried the drivers (Intel and Ralink) of the support page for the laptop and yet it still won't install.

  I'm fairly certain that the WIFI adapter is an Intel one, but could someone point me in the direction of the right driver!

  As this is a new laptop which was released only recently, it is difficult to find appropriate elsewhere help so any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hello:

  You have a WLAN Atheros adapter.

  Here is the link to the latest drivers for it.

• Upgrade Windows 7 to 8 leaves too many problems - is a new installation required?

  I spent literally the last 3 weeks by train to improve our 9 PCs from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and I have an incredible number of problems.

  For example:

  1 updates fail and return to Windows 7, unless all 3rd party drivers are uninstalled (Windows Update drivers are OK) and most of the software that contains services that interact with the material are uninstalled (such as CPU - Z, PC-Wizard, etc.).  Note that the Windows Upgrade Wizard indicates that these programs and drivers are OK (latest versions at least) it becomes an effort of trial and error to figure out what needs to be uninstalled to start successfully in Windows 8.

  2. I moved (using the folder properties supported ' location' tab) download for all users folder in the shared c:\users\public\downloads folder in Windows 7.  During the update the permissions folder become corrupted with the latest user created on the PC Windows 7, ending up as the only user with the permissions to read/write to this public folder.  The structure of NTFS in Windows 8 is damaged at this point and it '' believes '' the public downloads folder inherits permissions from user created c:\users\{last} instead of c:\users\public and is unable to change them.  I had to use icalcs substitute all c:\users\public file permissions manually down to allow other users to access the public download folder.  Check the hard drive (even to force a full audit) does not correct the inconsistent file permissions.

  3. the c:\users\public folder is shared even if a public share is off, but it is shared corrupt (read-only, but no remote users can actually access it and cannot be modified or deleted).  Change the 'sharing public folders' option has no effect.  Same "net share" may not change or see even the share of existing corruption.  I'm not able to create a sharing of this folder (results in an error message), or delete the existing share.  This problem is present on every PC, I've updated so far.

  4 family Safety is damaged and unusable.  Windows Live Family Safety has been one of the applications that caused the upgrade fails, then it has been uninstalled directly before the upgrade to Windows 8.  Unfortunately, this seems to leave Windows 8 in a State of dysfunction in security for the family.  I've been using an online id to log on to my children and this seems to have enabled temporarily family safety but not totally.  Unfortunately, the only way to make changes is the local PC as the fss.live.com site is no longer synchronizes with any of my Windows 8 PC (if I pass local ID and online, it syncs once).  Also delays no longer work and my children can stay on their PC, as long as they like.  I spent hours scouring the Web for a solution and other that "refresh the PC" or http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/essentials-2012-release-notes?T1=winlivefamilysafety I have not found a solution (I've not updated the PCs).

  5 Windows 8 apps don't work for one of my children on all accounts the PC but works very well for adult administrator accounts.  I tried everything from wsreset.exe, creation of new user accounts, temporarily making kids accounts administrator, uninstall, and reinstall, all apps, switching back and forth between accounts ID base and online local, etc manually.  Sometimes, that I managed to get re-installed applications to work temporarily, but after an opening session and closing session or possibly another user by connecting on the apps again fail (in failure, I mean it seems they start and then just close without an error message).  Even the app store is messed up for some users, in what he repeats to me it can not load the store, then, after pressing 'try again', it loads only a small subset of the store.  Also when I look at the apps installed (in the store) it shows nothing is installed and nothing is bought (not same mobiles which was installed by the same user on another PC of Windows 8; well on the other PC of Windows 8, they arise).

  6 folder and registry permissions are changed in many places and this causes some games to stop working.  Manually uninstall and reinstall the game solves the problem by opening of also manually security on folders and registry entries.  I assumed that the process of upgrading resets all the folder permissions and registry, but some older software requires write access to the folder 'program files' specific in order to update the configuration files, etc., and the upgrade process breaks it.

  7. any user that office has been moved (using the tab "location" supported in the method properties) has no read access to their workstation after authentication and Windows Explorer will not start (when you click on "desktop").  I had to delete and recreate the users, or manually change the folder permissions.

  8. users where their documents, photos and videos have been moved to a second hard drive (again using methods officially supported in Windows 7) end up with all sorts of issues such as incorrect file permissions, Windows 8 apps do not work until the user is deleted and recreated, etc..

  8. the problems seem to continue to go on and on.  Each day we discover a new broken feature that must be manually fixed one way or another and I lose all of my time to research on the web and try to resolve these problems.

  Unfortunately I still failed to operate Family Safety, nor have I managed to get Windows 8 job applications (more there are many other minor things that are broken, such as some items in Control Panel do not work, etc.) and officials "tips from Microsoft" seem to be "cool PC".  Unfortunately this is essentially a new installation of the operating system, as far as I'm concerned, because previously all installed software must be reinstalled manually.  I tried this on a PC (after saving) and I've always found that I had delete and recreate my children's accounts to get Windows 8 applications work.

  At this point I don't know what to do and how to proceed.  As a 'Christmas gift' we 'bought' Windows 8 for the world and I had planned to take advantage of the $39.99 special and free Media Center/Bitlocker/etc. addition which is available only until January 31.  Unfortunately, the upgrade process has been nothing less than a nightmare total and at this stage, I believe the following will produce:

  1. I need to break down and perform a new installation of Windows 8 on every single PC followed by reinstall all software and reconfigure all the user accounts, family safety, etc.  Otherwise realistically me uninterrupted work on all of this for the rest of the month (something that I don't really have time for).

  2 Microsoft needs to release updates of Windows 8, which allows to improve the level of experience and greatly improves the installation of Windows 8 resulting.

  3. I have abandon on the installation of Windows 8 at the moment, but I can't justify paying $269 - $469 in the future for Windows 8, so we'll probably with Windows 7, until we buy new computers.  I guess another partial option is to buy Windows 8 for $39.99 for each PC and then to later pay another $70 for the upgrade of Media Center/Bitlocker/etc. (currently we use Media Center on every single PC with 3 of our PCs being devoted to Media Center full-time and the rest operating as 'customers').

  Is there any hope that #2 is going to happen or Microsoft 'done' with the upgrade and will continue to recommend a "refresh" after an upgrade to solve problems?

  I've tried a fresh install of Windows 8 on a different partition with 5 of the 9 PC and it went flawless and very quickly (in less than an hour, I had all 5 upwards and running Windows 8 - although without additional software installed, no user accounts configured, etc.) so I know that it will work.  With one of these installs I have experimented with Windows 8 for a few days (and that my children and wife home to test) to confirm that everything seems to work properly, including applications of Windows 8, the installation of some of our software, etc..  Based on this, I think that all the questions that we are experiencing are caused by a routine upgrade of Windows 8 very fragile, not by the base Windows 8 operating system.

  I should also mention, I have backups of the installed Windows 7 original and I tried to restore and re-upgrade several times and even if I can improve things (returning to download default folder locations, additional software uninstall, etc.). I can't get Windows 8 apps working on my children's accounts, nor good difficulty number other issues (such as security for the family, permissions of file corrupted for some software, etc.).  Whenever I try it takes at least 4 hours, so I gave up trying to figure a way to upgrade "functional" at this stage.

  Thank you

  Steve

  I realize that Microsoft recommends customers perform a 'Refresh' on their upgrades of Windows 8 to solve many problems, but it is not a path I am willing to travel. I experiment in the updating of a PC, and as you say this has resolved most of the issues (even if once again, Windows 8 apps stopped working a few days later).

  This resulted in the continuation of the process of upgrading for our family PCs (steps 9 to 33 are the steps in upgrade of base):

  1. Restore our latest backup of Windows 7 (before the upgrade to Windows 8). If still running Windows 7, perform a full backup.
  2. Make sure that the latest virus signatures are installed for the installed Antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials in our case currently) software and run a full scan of the system.
  3. Download Windows 8 drivers for the hardware.
  4. Possibly find enough disk space to create a partition to restore the existing installation of Windows 7 (which just saved) to. This can be on a second drive or disk manager can be used to reduce an existing partition to create a new partition large enough to restore Windows 7. Restore Windows 7 for the new partition, and then name the new volume with a unique name (for example, TempWin7). EasyBCD to add partition newly restored to the Windows boot loader. Starting system test and make sure that the drive root (usually C:\) uses the new volume (check the drive c. name (this way if Windows 8 does not work you can return to Windows 7 easily.)) Finally, when you do know that Windows 8 is not working properly you can delete this volume). Note on my ~ 8th update attempt on the 2nd PC I was upgrade the upgrade has failed and left the system with a MBR corrupted with no way to start it. The MBR has been so badly damaged that the process of repair of Windows 7 and Windows 8 could not solve the problem. Same bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot, bcdboot c:\windows, bootsec all/force/MBR bootrec, etc. were not able to get a bootable system. I ended up performing a new installation of Windows 8 on another hard drive and then I added step 5 below to my list of upgrade tasks to ensure that I didn't not get stuck like this again).
  5. If the PC contains more than 1 hard drive and they are not all used in a hardware RAID, use EasyBCD to install the bootloader of Windows on the second/third hard disk and configure the boot loader to boot from the hard drive with all the bootable partitions configured (this provides a work around to get the operating system if the Windows 8 upgrade process fails and translates by a unbootable system).
  6. Download and run the tool TDSSKiller Rootkit, GMER Rootkit detection tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and Anti-Malware Malwarebytes to make sure there are no hidden rootkits or malware installed. Uninstall all the installed utilities.
  7. Uninstall all software known to cause trouble (both reported using the upgrade wizard, search on the web and attempts to upgrade Windows-based 8 prior who does not).
  8. Once complete scanning, starting test the computer while forcing the BIOS to boot from the disk hard other to make you that there is an available alternative starting method.
  9. Uninstall Live Essentials 2011.
  10. Installing Live Essentials 2012 (this is because they have seen many cases where Windows 8 fails to migrate settings of Live Essentials 2011 properly and leaves you with a dysfunctional state that requires an update of the system for safety of work; Live Essentials 2012 is apparently able to migrate settings from 2011 and 8 Windows upgrade can apparently works with Live Essentials 2012 settings).
  11. Start Live parental controls and run through the configuration steps (without necessarily making changes) to ensure that the settings are migrated from the Live Essentials 2011.
  12. Sign in using each account monitored by parental control and after that the drive stop loading of applications, log off.
  13. Log on with an administrator account and uninstall Live Essentials 2012.
  14. Uninstall all anti-malware and anti-virus software and unplug the network cable
  . If security software Norton has been used, download Norton Removal Tool before uninstalling it and after using the program manager to uninstall, run the removal tool (note that Norton fails to remove certain services when you use the program to uninstall Manager that caused the Windows upgrade process 8 fail on one of our PCs other AV software may have similar problems).
• Activate Microsoft Defender and Windows Firewall.
• Uninstall everything about software and software which includes services that interact with the hardware or virtual hardware.
• Uninstall all 3rd third-party drivers that are specifically designed to interact with the user and if possible only to install the drivers for "Windows Update". If not available, install just the naked driver for the device or leave the unit without a driver during the upgrade process, if it is not critical manually.
• Uninstall the video driver ATI, including the Catalyst Control Center software (even if the driver is listed as support Windows 7 and Windows 8, CCC upgrade breaks and leaves the system with the dysfunctional video settings in Windows 8)
. Allow Windows Update to install the basic video driver only or install manually only the video base by using the device manager driver.
• If all user folders have been moved in Windows 7, move them back to the default locations. For example we moved the documents, photos, videos and office on a secondary hard drive on some PC and these user accounts is damaged because of this sequel to the upgrade of Windows 8. We also move all folders download user to c:\user\public\downloads and this too must be moved to the location of the individual user (c:\user\{user}\downloads) before the upgrade because it causes corruption of NTFS security after the upgrade to Windows 8.
• Perform an upgrade on-site (repair) of Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 7 SP1 to upgrade the operating system in a known and stable state. Note that this must be done with a DVD of Windows 7 SP1 RTM and slipstream not updated media, nor can it be done with a DVD of Windows 7 without SP1.
• If necessary, connect the network cable and install all updates using Windows Update critical update (note, officially, it is recommended that the system is fully updated before you attempt to upgrade to Windows 8, but technical support suggests why a clean Windows 7 SP1 install with a few critical updates which should install automatically if updates to the installer of Windows 8 are enabled during the process) at level).
• Optionally, install the latest Microsoft System (KB947821) tool. If an upgrade on the spot did not it is a critical step, but with the upgrade on the spot, it should be redundant and not required (this tool checks the status of the update of the operating system and makes sure that every file that is supposed to be updated through any installed update is updated. He then sets up Windows Update to install or reinstall incompatible updates may not be correct).
• Installing Live Essentials 2012 (it is not clear if this step is necessary, but apparently the upgrade in-place to Windows 7 can potentially cause of parental control settings enter an inconsistent state).
• Connect the network cable and using an administrator account set up parental controls.
• Log in using accounts controlled by parental control
. Once the disk activity subsides, sign out.
• By using an administrator account uninstall Live Essentials 2012.
• Run a chkdsk /f on the drive system and start-up and restart.
• Connect the network cable (if it is disconnected) and perform an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on-site, ensuring that the post-installation updates are enabled during the process and that there is an Internet connection.
• Activate and install the Media Center add-on by using the same key used in the previous attempt to upgrade to Windows 8.
• "Turn Windows Features on / off" enables the Hyper-V instead of Virtual PC and XP Mode (even if Virtual PC and XP Mode have been installed and being used in Windows 7, the upgrade process uninstalls them and does not allow for Hyper-V, which is the replacement of Windows 8).
• Updates by using Windows Update, select all the recommended and the optional updates (deselect everything, you don't want such as Bing Office; right click and hide updates you don't want), click 'Install' to start the download. Allow the download and install updates before proceeding to the next step.
• Install Windows 8 3rd part drivers If Windows 8 specific drivers are available and desired. This includes installing the latest video driver for Windows 8.
• Connect with each user and pass to a Microsoft Account to activate parental control. Open a session out and back in.
• The Bank of Windows startup, click on in the upper right corner and update all installed applications which have updates available.
• Restart the Windows store, right click and select the installed applications. Install all of the applications associated with the Microsoft Account, you already have installed (and want to install). Do this for each user.
• Configure Hyper-V to replace Virtual PC to virtual operating systems.
• Install a previously uninstalled like cell phone software, CPU - Z, EasyBCD software, etc. (as long as it supports Windows 8).
• EasyBCD allows to set up the dual boot or triple (most of our PC have MCE2005 (XP), Vista and Windows 7 on separate partitions or units).

I stressed step 20 above, because the technical support said they find that this step can make a significant improvement in the final Windows 8 upgrade results. Without the Windows 7 upgrade (repair) inplace before the upgrade to Windows 8, he said that they have poor results that require an update of the system to get things to work. By adding this step, step Live Essentials 2012 associated, by ensuring more 3rd third-party drivers are uninstalled, uninstalled all the 3rd party software that interacts with the hardware and all records are found in their locations by default, the upgrade process is apparently much more likely to result in a closing fully functional install Windows 8. Unfortunately, told me that they always have problems with some PCs, even after all the above, and that is why a new installation is always the best approach. They also said that until that antivirus makers improve their compatibility Windows 8 it is better to stick with the software antivirus from Microsoft that is built into Windows 8 and not install any AV 3rd party software.

Anyone have any additional suggestions or disagree with the installation steps above? Although it is a lot of work, if it is, it will be much easier than a new installation and I already spent 100's of hours trying to get Windows 8 to upgrade properly and 100's of hours trying to clean upgrades corrupt I end up with (with only partial success).

I have a total of 11 PC, I tried to upgrade to Windows 8 and so far I have 2 semi-functional updated of (with control parental does not not work and Windows 8 Apps doesn't work is not for non-administrator accounts). For the moment, I restored Windows 7 (reconfigured the Boot Manager to start Windows 7 instead of Windows 8) with the 4 other PCs ended up broke after trying to upgrade to Windows 8.

IT WORKED!

Finally, I updated 2 PCs from Windows 7 to Windows 8 with parental control and applications of Windows 8 works for all users and I didn't have to mess with security of folder or the registry, difficulty missing junctions or mess around with anything to get this working.  In addition, for the first time, I didn't need to perform a refresh and reinstall all software (programs and features shows 187 programs installed to a PC and the other has more than 200).  So far, looks absolutely everything works (even if I did have enough time to ensure that the reports of parental control and all safety features are 100% still works but it doesn't look like it will).

The bad news is that it took 8 hours to upgrade each PC because of the number of steps (compared to the hundreds of hours lost trying to get the previous corrupt Windows 8 updates work properly, it was easy).  In the future, I'll work on several computers at the same time to speed things up.  Upgrading Windows 7 on Windows 7 on-site took several hours alone, but I think that this step is crucial to get an upgrade of Windows 8 fully functional (Technical Support of Microsoft agent I talked to strongly recommended this step and said that it was necessary to upgrade his personal computer Windows 7 to Windows 8 also).

Now I have 9 PCs to go.  For PCs with a minimum software installed and with a rootkit, I will perform a new installation but the rest I'm going to use this procedure.

The next challenge is to get enough key to install Media Center on each of them.

• Symbol ban after new installation on new SSD

  Hello

  A few months ago, my original HD failed (MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012)).

  I decided to replace it myself with a SSD instead.

  the thing is, every time you start, I get the symbol ban for a few seconds until sometimes for hours, but once the start is done - everything works perfectly.

  tried to replace the disc SSD 3 times now - the same result after each new installation of recovery of the internet.

  Currently, using SanDisk Ultra II 240 GB.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  The symbol you see means that the computer did not find a bootable system disk and sometimes occurs when you have not set up a default startup disk. Go to System Preferences, and then select Startup disk. You should see your SSD in the window. Select it after you unlock the preferences.

  The strange thing is that, if this is your problem, it must be solved in seconds - certainly not hours. This would suggest there is something more complex. You say that you tried to replace the SSD 3 times. Different drives? Different manufacturers?

  Laptop bought in July 2007, the Windows Vista Business operating system.
  Vista windows update immediately so don't know not if the following problem was there before I updated.

  When put in a slideshow for all images almost immediately a blue screen appears and the problem message I receive is "problem caused by the ATI graphics card.
  Have never been able to sort out as when I contacted ATI they told me to contact Toshiba.

  Can anyone help? Where can I get the proper drivers and how to find them on the laptop which is my current driver?

  Hello

  You can download all the drivers and tools for your laptop on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Before installing the new version, you must delete the old class first, and then restart the laptop.

  If you go to the graph properties, you can check what display driver you have right now.

  Moreover, you have what Service Pack installed for Vista?

• Any way to change Firefox 4 UI upgrade to resemble a new installation of the user of Firefox 4 interface?

  I upgraded from 3.6.x to 4.0.x and the UI has not moved and 4.0.x. This has happened on Windows XP and Windows 7 computers. I would like to have the interface 4.0.x. I got a new installation of 4.0.x and the user interface is much better for me.

  The new interface is the default on Windows Vista and Windows 7 only. You also get the old user interface if you have customized the menu bar. To get the new user interface, you must hide the menu bar. Do, in the view menu, select Toolbars, then click on the entrance to the "Menu bar".

  If you need to access the menus, you can press Alt or F10 to display temporarily.

• With the help of files from a Linux saved / home folder hierarchy, how can I get these bookmarks in new installation?

  Prior to this announcement, I read the information available on import-export-backup but unfortunately, I became very confused.

  Location:

  On my PC at home, I backed up my Ubuntu + Mint/home folder [dual-booting to installation] trees on a flash drive. In the two Ubuntu + Mint, I used Firefox 3.6.3

  Now, I installed Mint with Firefox 3.6.3 on a new hard drive.

  In my new installation of mint + Firefox, how to use the files in my backup folder trees / home to give my new Firefox these same bookmarks?

  I have never "exported" or "supported" My Favorites; I just copied my trees set/home folder on a flash drive, assuming that the files would be there when I need them. I see a bookmarks.html file in my new installation, but it seems only toolbar links and not a few bookmarks, I created in the past days. And I don't know what to do with the file "places.sqlite".

  Should I find "places.sqlite" files in the backup folder tree / home and copy / paste them somewhere on the new hard drive?

  I didn't want to risk experimenting this - could hurt!

  Thank you very much.

  Firefox 3 and later no longer use bookmarks.html to store bookmarks.
  
  You can restore latest JSON bookmarks in the folder bookmarkbackups or copy places.sqlite on current Firefox profile. Both methods will replace the current bookmarks with the new bookmarks, so I you must preserve existing bookmarks and then export them to a HTML file and import this file later.

• I'd appreciate it really any assitance on this, I can't save my favorites due to a failure of the system. I can access the drive crashed trhe data. Do my resident Favorites in a file that I can copy and then replace in a new installation, if so, where is

  Windows broke down and I need to reinstall Vista. So I can make a backup of my favorites, but I guess that there is a file somewhere on my crashed disk that bears this detail. If so, can I copy this file and replace in my new installation of firefox. If this file exists, I would like to know the name of the file that I need to copy and that I could find it in the directory.

  The anonymous gives path is for Vista not XP.

  The "places.sqlite" file is the file that contains your bookmarks and history. It is located in your profile folder.

  See:
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/profiles#How_to_find_your_profile
  Display the hidden files and folders

  In XP, the path is usually:
  C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
  ("xxxxxxxx" is a unique alphanumeric identifier)

  When you copy data from your OLD profile to your NEW profile, copy individual FILES (some require more than 1 FILE). DO NOT copy the entire OLD PROFILE folder; It will not work.

• New installation OS on Equium A100

  Hello world

  I'm new to this forum, so I'll appreciate all the help I can get.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 02L, model PSAAQE-00P00KAV, with operating system Vista Home Premium 32 bit since July 2007. In October 2007, I performed an upgrade to Adobe Reader and things started to go wrong.
  I did a reinstall of my recovery DVDs, and things are almost back to normal. The pc stopped recognizing my web cam and I had to buy a new, but above all it worked well. The mistake I made when you reinstall - I changed 2 partitions-2 physical hard drives into one. However, over time that my laptop has started to hurt behave again, especially after what he installed vista pack 2, including not having the audio drivers or see a multimedia disk of a sony-ericsson phone, I bought a few weeks ago.

  So, I decided to reinstall once again, hoping to fix all the wrongs. I've done this procedure a couple of times, although I'm not a very technical person. I started the pc with the drive, I pressed F12 and select reboot from cd/dvd, but he didn't perform the clean installation, I expected, just something a repair, I think. The screen where you choose the partitions came not upward, and one where you put your Vista key and it took about 45 minutes to do all that.

  So I tried again, hoping that this time it will work. Cannot do and after the third time he went into ms - back like screen, telling me that windows has not to load, a step which gave unfortunately I did not write down and said there is a corrupted core. I was very upset, as you can imagine, so I left it alone for a few hours, then I tried to restart the computer again. Fortunately, this time he started windows, but there are always pieces that does not meet the standards. So, I was hoping that maybe someone can give me some advice on how to do a clean install and repartition my HARD drive.

  I tried to look on the Web site for support, but I can't find my model, there is only an A100-027, even when I tried the model No, it was not me with the auto detect software.

  I know this is a very long story, but I hope that the details will help. Really looking forward for your help.
  Micky.

  You mean on the Toshiba Recovery DVD or disk Microsoft Vista and the new installation?

  Using the Toshiba recovery disc will not ask you to choose the partition, nor to put keys series! The image of Toshiba which is placed on the Toshiba Recovery disk is already enabled and the serial number; key is not required!

  Generally, the use of the recovery disk should format the HARD drive and you could reinstall the whole OS again maybe there is something wrong with the HARD drive may be
  I think this should be verified

• Qosmio F60 - when we get new display drivers?

  Hi guys,.

  I'm basically looking for some information when or if we will have a new driver for our Nividia Geforce GT330M. I see in the download section there is a little bit down after all other pilots links (factory installled ones) that says "new version of the drivers/software since the image factory preinstalled was built.

  That means there is something in the pipeline? I saw it here for the last two months tho? I need answers! Help, please! Oh, and don't tell me to download a new driver from Nividia because they work that toshiba has blocked them from working to protect our laptops.

  [http://www.MyToshiba.co.nz/support/notebooks/Qosmio/F60/pqf65a-00y002/download?OS=25] here is the page that I do not speak

  Bravo guys

  Will be.

  Hello

  I think that it of difficult to say what Toshiba released a new display driver. I think that no one here can answer this question because it s a user only forum. I think Toshiba only knows this.

  But I m wondering you ask new display drivers. You have a problem with the current version?
  If so, maybe this problem can be solved otherwise
