I don't sound stupid, but I'm going to lose all my files, games or whatever it is, with the upgrade?

By 'upgrade', what you're speaking of?

Windows 8 for Windows 8.1?

Windows 8.1 for Windows 10?

In any case, you * don't *-however, something can and probably will happen not doing a full image backup just before changing throughout the operating system would be, at best, careless.

Also - if you mean Windows 8.1 for Windows 10: do not trust a single scan or test to tell you whether or not the upgrade will be successful.  You should check with the manufacturer of each product (hardware and software) to ensure that support them (the real manufacturers of real products in question) is in place for the newer operating system.

    Hello

    I realize has the inconvenience that you are having with your speakers that you get an error message while playing the songs. I will certainly help you to question.

    I would like to know some information:

    1. Have you tried to plug any other speakers or headphones?

    2. You did changes to the hardware/software before this problem?

    3. Have you tried using these speakers with another PC?

  • HI all I would like to ask if you help me, I want to draw paths, but when I use options to mark with a pen or brush settings I lose quality when I Zoom, can someone help me with the settings for the pen?

    HI all I would like to ask if you help me, I want to draw paths, but when I use options to mark with a pen or brush settings I lose quality when I Zoom, can someone help me with the settings for the pen?

    The work path is a vector and infinitely scalable, but when caress you, Photoshop sets the pixels on a layer following the path.  These pixels are rasterized and based and cannot be resized without loss of quality.  You have options.  If you want to enlarge the raster layer, transform the work path and stroking again.  Or work at a resolution higher, in the first place.

    Either incidentally, you can't trace a path with the pen, because it's a vector tool, and caressing is a matrix function based.

  • OK it's going to sound stupid, but I'm unable to the simple task of copying the files to a cd

    I've always used Windows Xp, but now Windows 7, sometimes I hold that I did not have it.

    Under XP it ask me to updated program files I just used and I inderted the cd and it prompted me to update/overright the files on this cd, it was so simple.

    I automatically save after using this program (my money), but I'm never invited to back up on the cd of windows 7

    I looked in the Control Panel then hardware and autoplay to try to define the prompt, but the only choice is for a blank cd, do not update existing files on the used cd.

    If I insert the cd it gives me just once the choice to open the folder in windows Explorer that I will do so.

    There is no option in this area to copy or update the files.

    Why is windows 7 so complicated when Xp was so easy to use?

    As you can guess, I'm totally frustrated and annoyed.

    When I use the help and support of research and research for copy files to a cd and I followed the instructions, it says the choice box should appear does not work!

    Can someone please help me because I get to this point where I want to throw the thing out of my 3rd floor window dam.

    Thank you

    When you insert a cd or dvd in the dvd/rw drive, disc

    All you really need to do is select all the files, right click on one of the highlighted files and select copy,

    Right-click on the DVD/RW drive on the Navigation pane below the entry of the computer and select Paste,

    When you right click dvd/rw again and select eject.

    Automatic backup of Windows isn't reliable the manual method, flash player are your best option because they hold more files. the disks are limited so it is not worth all the time and trouble.

    You can get pretty cheap flash drives these days.

  • Embedded audio player doesn't work with Firefox in a laptop computer, but works fine on a PC. How can I fix? It started with the new design of Firefox.

    This problem apparently only occurs with the audio player built into http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ . I tried other embedded audio players from other websites and they work fine. In the Firefox installed in my laptop, no matter what I do it does not play the SGU podcast. When I try to click on the download option it says "Video cannot be read because the file is corrupted. However, I can play and download the podcast without any problem with Firefox installed in my PC, which is the exact same version that is in my laptop, so I don't really know what could be the cause.

    I remember that this was not the case before the new design of Firefox. I tried the solutions proposed on this problem before asking this question. I checked that the plugins are up-to-date. I removed all the addons and plugins, and this did not help either. Firefox reset with no luck. Also tried a fresh install of Firefox and it didn't work. I used the laptop without synchronization first, and then synchronize with no difference. Flash is up to date and there is no apparent problems there.

    Maybe it's a codec missing or damaged? I wouldn't trust codecs from sources other than Microsoft for this purpose, since Firefox tries to use Windows to read the file.

    If you decide to give up and around the native player for a plugin, these changes of settings usually work for this:

    (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 filter box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) [except XP], double-click on media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to change its value from true to false.

    (4) double click on media.directshow.enabled to change its value from true to false.

  • I have windows7 64 bit on a computer acer laptop, but I want to change my OS to 32-bit. Is it possible with the same product key?

    Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

    I have windows7 64-bit with the computer acer laptop, but I want to change to 32 bit can it is possible with the same product key?

    If you have a retail version of Windows 7, then it is more than likely came with discs both 64-bit and 32-bit. In this case, boot from the 32-bit disk and do a clean install.

    If the 64-bit version has been pre-installed, then you need to contact Acer to see if they have a 32-bit recovery disc.

  • This may sound stupid, but for some reason, I can no longer use the back button, after you type in a url to access this site. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    It stopped, for some reason any functional on firefox, a week or two it y a. I tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox but the problem persists. I've tried chrome and Explorer, and they don't seem to have this problem.

    I would not stop using firefox but it so annoying that at least i can fix it, I have to change my browser!

    Try to disable the AVG Safe Search add-on or the safe browsing.

  • This may sound stupid, but how do you enable 32-bit 64-bit Mac browsing?

    I need to run a 32-bit program but a 64.

    1. Closing of Firefox
    2. Launch the Finder and open the Applications folder
    3. Make a right click or Ctrl-click the icon of Firefox.app
    4. Select "Get Info."
    5. Select or deselect the option "open in 32-bit mode".
    6. Close window "Firefox Info"
    7. Restart Firefox

  • I don't know how or when I get a new phone with the upgrade program! Help!

    I have the iPhone Upgrade Program. I signed up last year and I have a 6 s more. I want a 7 (I have later), but it wouldn't kill me if it does not work.

    This is my experience:

    0) I went to 2 stores in the last three days and called APPLE 1-800-MY - I wanted to make SURE I had all my ducks in a row - and EVERYONE told me that if I wanted to keep my (AT & T) unlimited data plan and get a new phone as quickly as possible, I should go online at midnight.

    (1) online at midnight. Update to hit her until the page appeared at 12:09.

    (2) I went through the certification process of my current iPhone with my series 4 and the last of IMEI.

    (3) selected model, ability and color

    (4) congratulations! You are eligible for an upgrade! Click here to get your phone! (WOOHOO!)

    (5) I got this page. http://i.imgur.com/6oc1Cgl.PNG

    (6) WHAT THE @# REAL! & *?

    (7) I tried the same on iPhone and iPad using Apple store, same result.

    (8) went to bed.

    (9) stood at 07:00 (Pacific) and tried again. Has gone through the same process...

    (10) this time I got THIS SCREEN (http://i.imgur.com/a9y3b5q.jpg). Am I able to order now? What has changed and why I don't have to wait for the 17th? 10A) I tried all stores in California, Nevada and Oregon. There are no. 7 anywhere more available on AT & T phones. Period.

    (11) seriously?

    (12) using the cat online rejects me on straight away - the chat window closes when I select I want to talk about ordering process. The button actually closes the chat window? No warning or message which chats are full/no cat hours/too busy? It closed just the window?

    (13) I called 1-800-MY-APPLE and he literally told me the importance, I am to Apple and then hangs up on me.

    (14) coffee.

    I honestly don't know what else I could have done and how could I possibly be more thorough. I'm still without an upgrade, and there is no direct path to a phone now except the purchase of a pure and simple. But I have another year on my existing phone because I was stupid enough to give Apple upgrade program!

    What are my options? I can't find documentation on this process anywhere!

  • When you use Windows Explorer to view the files and folders, the thumbnails of image files appear briefly then are replaced with the default icon of the image file. I tried the answers to similar problems, but none worked.

    Browse the folders with image files, I cannot see the thumbnail icons for images correctly.  I know, it should be possible, but I can't do it.

    When I first open a folder in Explorer, I see the correct images for a fraction of a second, then all images are replaced by the thumbnail of the image file (which looks like part of a digital SLR).
    I put all folders to display picture to display the preview and the filter, and the "always show icons never thumbnails" is not checked.  Display file icon "on the photos' is unchecked (I tried checking, too, without change).  I also deleted the thumbnails using disk cleanup as suggested on another question, but which did not allow them.
    The result is that, if I want to open an image for editing or downloading, I have to use a third-party application (for example, Pentax Photo Browser) to preview images, and then return to the Explorer window to select the correct file by name. Don't try to difficulty of these things that are not broken.

    izzlecrate,
    You might want to try it and I just did this procedure myself a moment ago and surprising, it worked!  First of all I must tell you that I have Windows Vista, but the information I got was for Windows 7 and it worked.

    First: You must create a NEW FOLDER and put it on your desktop.
    Second: Move or copy the contents of the original file in the NEW FOLDER on the desktop. I copied the content, just in case something went wrong.
    Third: After that is finished and all the contents are inside you.
    Fourth: On the desktop right click on the folder and click Properties at the bottom of the box.
    Fifth: Click Customize tab at the top and then the Middle click on DEFAULT settings for the folder.  Click on apply to, click OK and your done

    NOW! You can move the folder wherever you want by drag-and - drop the folder and when it's done and that's the best part, you should see the thumbnails of the folder on the EDGE of the folder that you just created.  It worked for me and I hope it works for you.
    I have 10 years of experience with my computer and have troubleshooted my friends for viruses and other computer problems successfully.  I'm advanced computer user.

    That this is done, it restores the folder its original settings.  Good luck! Rick
