I installed windows 8 preview version, how to get back my pre installed windows XP
I installed this thing! I am at a loss how to get XP back.
Hello
Save your data and do a clean install of XP.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm
If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a XP disc.
They should do this for a small fee.
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

Install Windows 8 could destroy this option of relocation:
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
It may be Ctrl + F11, F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
See you soon.

Opening 3.6: in some way something changed: in the browser, I see now several versions of each image (master & version), how to get back to showing only latest version? (Note: I don't want close chimneys, just not to show them)
You have recently allowed the preference of the opening > advanced: create new versions adjustments?
The opening will create a new version whenever you adjust your image. With this preference is disabled, all changes will be stacked on the current version without creating new versions.
You can stack the new versions automatically if you use "opening > General > stacking new versions automatically.
But there is no option to avoid the multiple versions of a photo in the browser, as far as I know, so the battery version is open. You can stack several version and keep the closed stack or refrain from creating new versions for each change.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and one that appears on my screen is new tab with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go. Also, when I click on a link, the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab I have to click to get to. It's actually quite boring and inconvenient. How to get back to the way it was, so that when I run Firefox it opens on my homepage, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link I clicked on? This new and improved IMO is really new and worse.
A further extension could have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you may have installed recently.
Try turning off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so completely junk, delete).
Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
That get rid of the extra tab?
Note: I also suggest to visit the Control Panel, uninstall a program and by clicking on the column heading "installed on". This should bring the most recent additions at the top and group by install date so that you can examine the software may have unexpected how have been installed.

I can't use Roboform with 4.0 beta 10, so I can't use Firefox. How to get back to the beta version 9?
I think that there is a little more for it, but here's a solution that seems to work. After the installation of Roboform 7.1.7, go to: http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox and scroll down to a table listing the three browsers identifying the XPI file to load if it was not loaded automatically. Click the http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3-4-frozen.xpilink. Firefox will ask you if you want to allow this should be installed. Let him. Finish installation, restart Firefox 4.0b10, and you'll see a Roboform 7.1.7 toolbar works. I did it on two computers, and everything seems to work.

just downloaded firefox 8 and disabled mcafee site Advisor how to get back to version 7
just downloaded firefox 8 and it disabled the Advisor site on my mcafee security suite. How to get back to version 7 until the site Advisor is compatible with version 8?
Although I gave up on it for now, if you don't have a lot of extension, you can run it in Version 8, actually if you ran it 7, you're probably doing something else that activate. As their website says you a version number you suggest to reinstall and restart Firefox twice, see
I have reactivated it as I had turned it off and it works, guess I'll try it for a few days now that I'm on 8.0. While the difference between what I ran on 7.0.1 this is I have reactivated earlier "McAfee Site Advisor" but then the main reason that I have no problems is that I avoid bad extensions.
I see that it is not marked as compatible with 8.0 but many of my extensions are not anyway. I have
- extensions.checkCompatibility.8.0 set to false
and my McAfee Site Advisor is 3.4.0
The extensions that I use are listed hereand I actually have links with the compatibility reports it for each extension, but were not check things there for several months.

I have more endurance, remove or insert the option pages after upgrade to Adobe DC. How to get back these functions?
Looks like you may have updated to misapplication. Probably, you have Adobe Acrobat (the full version) and installed Adobe Acrobat Reader instead. If you had "improved" Adobe Acrobat, it would have cost you money. Acrobat Reader is free.

Att/yahoo updated my email, which suggests to select Firefox as the browser, but how to get back the taskbar?
Hi, you are missing the taskbar Windows, which usually appears at the bottom of the screen? Firefox normally does not block the taskbar if you do not use the mode full-screen. To check if you are using full-screen, you can use the F11 key that toggles between full screen and normal mode.
Or if you meant the menu bar (File, Edit, View), you have two options:
(1) display on request: press the ALT key to press F10 to display bar temporarily
(2) time full display: you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select menu bar it:
- Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
- Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
- in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)
Success?
