I have improved my Pavillion DV8210ca to 32-bit Windows 7
Everything seems to work except the DVD. 32-bit Vista drivers will work?
Hello
The driver for the optical drive is provided by Windows, so I suggest to try the following procedure.
First, run the fixit automated Microsoft at the link below.
Check if the drive works now.
If it still does not work, click on the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator". In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.
sfc/scannow (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)
Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.
Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager. Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives. Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall. Do not delete if requested drivers. When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar). Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.
Kind regards

I have improved my battery life of Lenovo K3 score of 50% more with Greenify!
Hi friends,
I have improved my battery life of Lenovo K3 score of 50% more with Greenify! It works really well. You can try it via the game shop. Don't forget to give your comments once you have started using it.
Greenify essentially stops (or strength stoppages) background running applications in an automatic way. Also, there is option to greenify or exclude some applications that you do not want to stop in the background. I recommend it to all android users.
Lenovo K3 note no need any permission to root for her. Go ahead & try it. Please share your experience with me.
Click below to install it directly on Play store:
https://play.Google.com/store/apps/details?ID=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en
But once your application is running in the background that he keeps automatically unless you lock the phone. I mean, on the basis of the request, can you greenify apps. Manager app does allow you even to the popup once notifications that you added list turn off background. Greenify App, you can still access them from notification, I mean that it will automatically stops all applications when they are not in use.
It is a clever way... good?

I have improved my 5 LR to LR CC 2015. I realized that the LR Catalog backup file (which accumulates during the exit process) fell 2.8 GB (LR 5) to 270 MB, probably due to compression. Can I be confident that the shrunken backup file contains everything it should?
Lightroom CC 2015 to zip the backup catalog file, it should be much smaller. So, based on what you said, I see no evidence that something has gone wrong.

Don't have improved equipment and now he doesn't accept activation
I replaced my card mother, cpu and ram. I did not reinstall Windows 7, but it wants me to reactivate and does not accept the product key. I have the windows 7 Upgrade Family Pack.
The Family Pack Upgrade is an upgrade license:
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
You can always try phone activation:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Windows XP instead of Vista.
I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.Hello
There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:
1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.
2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.
3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.
4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

Hi hope someone can help? I have acrobat pro, 6 have worked well for the past two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still won't open, ronning windows 7. Help please! Janice
Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe does most support the installation and use of Acrobat 6 because it is a very old version that is not compatible with Windows 7.
I suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat 11.0.10 is perfectly compatible with your operating system with its functions and improved functions.
You can download a free trial version of 30 days of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Professional XI
Let me know how it goes

I have 2 copies of open Firefox (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore the two sessions? I am familiar with clicking history / restoration of previous session, but do not want to reboot to let windows update to do it's thing unless I can restore the two sessions.
guigs2 said
If they run different profiles, then Yes.
Thanks, but I use only 1 profile. However, I found the answer! If I restart/turn off / down pc WITHOUT closing a firefox session, he will come with the screen 'well, it's embarrassing"and list the TWO sessions to restore. The trick is not not to close before stopping! If you close them first, then you can only restore the session first (?).

I run 10 64-bit Windows and I have used iTunes for years. iTunes installs OK, I disable Norton Firewall during installation. iTunes starts OK, but when I try to access the store down ¾ of the page turns black, the upper band has Taylor Swift and a few small icons to the bottom of the page. If I type Perry Como, in the search box, the page does not change.
lysdexic01, I know almost exactly what you describe on my screen of iTunes Store recently updated for Windows 7 64-bit. Only difference is that the icons in the black box are invisible until I move the mouse above them, their location by trial and error. Once activated, the icon remains visible. Each found icon flickers at first, but stops flashing if I pass the mouse over it.
I think that the store is now functional and useless for those of us experiencing this problem. Other users have reported that their iTunes store screen flickers since they updated iTunes to the latest version, but most did not mention the area big black screen that you and I see.
So far, Apple seems not to believe that there is a problem with the software to update iTunes. It is therefore important that users continue to report these problems to Apple that there are enough complaints for attention even during a week of office party.
