I have windows xp and need to make a boot disk for my cd how do I do it?
Trying to clean up old computer which has windows xp now it does not start at the top. Is there a way I can download a recovery disc to reboot the system, then reinstall windows? I have another computer with windows xp can I use it to create the disks?
To reinstall Windows, you need a Windows XP installation disc. There is a CD bootable you can create that will allow you to make repairs or backup your data to an external hard disk such as BartPE , UBCD4Win, Hirens Boot Diskand some "Live Linux" free of the such as Knoppix and Ubuntuboot floppies.
However, most of the OEMs have a recovery partition which will restore your machine on the condition that bought. When you first start, look for a message on the screen telling you to press a key to retrieve. It passes quickly, then you should look for and press this button quickly. I hope this will solve your problems of re - install.

I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards. How can I fix it?
Hello FrankHeinsohn,
Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.
Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.

I have several versions of InDesign 6 on different MACs and need to get the serial numbers for them. How can I get them?
If they were recorded at Adobe.com, sign in under the adobe ID, a number will be there.
If they were purchased in the box and unregistered, you need to find the number in the box (usually on the sleeve)

When I go to a different web server, there is a toolbar at the top ' file and with other functions. " I don't have this toolbar with Firefox. I bought a new printer, I need to conect to Firefox to be able to print.
How do the bar and conect the printer
Hi pastore27.
You should be able to print documents from Web pages using Firefox. The "print" button should display by default. However, it is possible, it has been removed during an upgrade or because of personal preferences. The way to fix:
- Firefox > view > toolbars > customize
- Select the printer icon and drag it to your browser window
I also found a Support article on the restoration of the toolbars, as you say it lacked the toolbar:
The back, home, bookmarks navigation buttons and recharge are missing
I hope that helps!

I have windows 7 and the computer will not open in safe mode. How can I fix this?
I tried to use the configurations of systems, but this does not solve my problem. I use the F8 key and F10 keys but it always opens in safe mode.

Run the SFC/scannow command. This will check and repair if necessary all of the critical Windows system files.
Click on start / all programs/accessories then
Right-click on the command prompt option and select "Run as Administrator".
(or "Safe Mode" open a command prompt)
At the command prompt, enter: SFC/scannowWindows 7 - order SCANNOW SFC - System File Checker

The Partition that contained my restore system windows 7 has disappeared. I don't know how, but now I need a startup disk. Online all I have saturated adware etc... I also try to restore the partition that I need to know how to re - install windows on it. I did not receive a disk when I bought my computer. Thank you
These days it is rare for sellers to include DVDs with their laptops. Those who make their own PC maintenance create their Boot CD so that Windows is running. It takes less than five minutes through Control Panel / backup and restore. If you skipped this step you will need to ask a friend to burn you.
To re - install Windows, you have three options:
- Perform a factory restore using the hidden restore partition. See the HP web page for detailed instructions.
- Restore the windows of an image that you created some time ago.
- Order a DVD of restoration of factory at HP.

I have Windows xp and Vista on the same computer, my fligth Simulator is on xp. How do I play for vista or I need to install Island all on vista
Hi, CPC,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.

I have Windows 7 and for some reason, I can't install Adobe Type Manager on my computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but I'm having no luck what so ever. I can see the police DIN in my Dropbox, but it appears like this: - ._DIN-"BOLD", no file extension. what I am doing wrong? What is Mac?
(1) Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32 bit only). Try to install ATM on any newer version of Windows can actually disable the ability of the rendering of Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts window, requiring a reinstall of Windows.
(2) there is no need to use the ATM to install fonts on Windows.
(3) the name of the file ._DIN-bold is indicative of a police of MacOS. These fonts may not be installed on Windows systems.

Original title: registry exe problem
I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.
Microsoft has suggestions and offerings to
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-a-computer-virus
Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to
If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
