I can't update my laptop due to a password that I don't know.

PC my son-in-law that he now has a laptop and set me up. I can't upgrade with his password, but it is of military service. All I want is to send an email, but still put uo on hhpt.

Try to send an e-mail, but the outdated windows will not work. Cannot complete the update because I don't have my password of his sons-in-law. Now I was the only user for more than a year there must be a way to update.

Write to your son-in-law for his password.

That's the only suggestion I can offer, other than to reinstall Vista.

MS Answers never leave anyone helping others to bypass the password protection. Regardless of the reasons.

Skip this question, I've now solved.

When I downloan anything, I can't find it when I'll get it, because I don't know where to look.

Whenever I have download anything, I don't know where to look for it. I tried my downloads and documents and they were not there. How can I find them?

Did you download and save this file on your computer or have you clicked on an "Add to Firefox" button to install the extension?

In the case of the latter, you have to confirm this through two steps.
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/customize-Firefox-with-Add-ons-plugins-and-extensions
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/extensions-add-features-to-Firefox
If you saved the extension and see the downloads on the subject: then you can use the context menu to open the folder that contains the page downloads.

Hi is it's Gillian I went on your site and updated my Mozilla Firefox Tuesday and u told me that I have subscribed to that I don't know and need to cancellgillia

Hi I need to know what I signed up for u could tell me that I don't want to charge I thought Mozilla firefox free

Can clarify you what link you downloaded Firefox?

New version of Outlook Express is installed by the computer expert. Ask me now a password for POP3I don.t know the password so can't receive emails

New version of Outlook Express asks for the password. I do not know what is the password and can't access POP3 for incoming e-mail

Ask the expert of the computer what he or she did. If the password for your e-mail account, you must ask your supplier of postal services of the POP3 represent what is the password, that nobody here knows.

I never put a password on my bluetooth settings and when I try to connect my laptop to my computer it asks an authentication key that I don't know.

is there a predefined access key and how do I know. I use never only 1 password and it does not work, but since my computer is new, maybe there is a predefined access key?

Hi arood511,

Most devices allow you to choose your own password, or you can use a password that is generated by Windows. To make Windows generate a passkey for you, run theAdd Bluetooth device Wizard; otherwise, contact the manufacturer of the device. Note that some devices use "0000" or "0001" as a password.

For more information, see , solving problems with Bluetooth devices compatible

HELP PLEASE! I lost about 400 GB of MP4 (film and audio book) using Chkdsk files. He repaired broken sectors/files regardless, but it changed the extentions. How can I find new extensions? they are there, but I don't know how to find them.

I have Vista Home Premium. I have a huge media collection for my ipod. I save all my video files and files on an external hard drive (my book 500 GB) audiobook while they clutter up my internal drive and so I can store them where my internal drive has failed somehow... Well I got the opposite happens. I started to get my video files would not open in their records. I ran Chkdsk utility to "fix" the files. When the program has finished running he had a Msg: something has changed the names of files and everything I was supposed to go to the files and the rear switch (as far as I can remember... I don't wear SPECIAL attention for the MSG that I thought it was normal and the program would take me to the files when it was done... ERROR. All desktop shortcuts no longer find files directly by going to my computer, then by looking at the HD I cannot find the files. I used the program REcuva file hippo and it restores the few files that have been deleted out of the dirve and allowed to see some of the video files and audio books (but no tag info remained on the recovered files. I had to so I would like to know what they rename them). Other than these few files... less than 20 I t help either. Records that they are still there, but it asks me to open files with a program from a list of choices and not of the program draw files. (the choice to choose this high program open this type of file is also blacked out). Also when I run the cursor over the records of the size of the files do not match wat I know should be in the files. But if I just look at the my computer screen and run the cursor over the icon of the letter itself it show that there is 435 + GB hard disk info and 50 + GB of space left on it.
A few questions:
1. is it possible to see all the possible msg that the command chkdsk can generate so I can find that he gave me when he fixed my files?
2 - How can I find these files if I don't know the extensions I'm looking for? they were for quicktime mp4 files, but I don't know now.
3 - If the drive to my drive internal and try to list the backup files is located on the drive where I'd start trying to open the files?
4 do I just need to cut my losses and reformat the hard disk, crying over 2 years, he took me to build the library and start over again >? (at least I kept some of my files from itunes library since itune on DVD about 1.5 years ago (about 300 GB of data there))
And by the way the reader is set up to the FAT 32 format, that I did not know until this all happened.

Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. You should also check the box to see the system and hidden files while you're there. This should show you the extensions of all files if that is the problem. You can then rename the files for extensions are associated with a program that will open and read the files (you may need to experiment first with some programs to find one that works and an extension that works if they have been changed). I don't know any way to do this for all files at once - they will have to be renamed individually (yes - I realize counts the number of files involved, but I know of no program in Vista or even a 3rd party program that will change the extensions for a group of files at a time - you can check for yourself on www.tucows.com and www.download.com).

Desktop Shortcuts no longer work because either the file type of the source file has changed and the shortcut does not open the file, or because the file has been moved and the shortcut can not find the path. You should be able to check the path by finding files (whatever they are now called) and see if they are in the same directories in path as they were before this happened. I think it's because the source file works more correctly because of the extension (or corruption).

Recuva to recover lost or deleted files - not the files that are on the system (and you won't not solve your problem by deleting them and then use Recuva to recover because it sounds like the problem is with the extensions and Recuva is not going to be able to correct it (it is not part of his program)).

There's no list of ALL possible messages that might be generated by chkdsk I know. Here is an article on the chkdsk command works in XP and some messages it generates - but far from everything and nothing look like the one you receive (and it works essentially the same under Vista): http://www.isd518.net/District/TechDir/Help/Chkdsk.htm.

The backup on your internal hard disk drive will not solve the problem - just move it. The 'damage' to the files are already done a backup now will not solve anything. The fact that the drive is set up in format FAT32 is not the question (and probably not the question in the first place is) and change to NTFS now is not going to solve the problem (although you can do that after all this has been resolved).

I won't tell you to cut your losses - this is a pretty drastic step and there may still be other options (although I don't know myself). You can take the reader to a recovery expert data (NOT Geek Squad or one of these other major centres to store) which may be able to recover some, most, or all files. It will be expensive and only you can decide if it's worth the cost. These people usually the game fee and do not offer a guarantee of recovery - even if they don't recover anything you always pay. The decision is yours.

If none of this works, transfer your question in images and videos Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where people who specialize in issues related to the video may be able to help with your problem, since it's video files.

I hope this helps.
