I just updated my computer on windows 7 and I can't find my old favorites from before the update help?
k so I just updated my computer and I can't find my favorites yet ive tried it before google search and the entire solution did nothing, I even tried the tasks of file that didn't work because I don't know what they would be under. Please help a lot of important things lost...
First of all the set Windows 7 to show hidden files and folders, for details of how to proceed, see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial151.html
Now set your computer look for a file called places.sqlite, you will find at least one copy in your current profile folder (the location where user data is stored). For more information on how to access your profile folder, see the article of profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data .
If there is a second copy of this file also can contain your old favorites. With Firefox closed, rename the version in your current profile in places.sqlite.old folder, and then copy the other file in your profile folder. Restart Firefox to see if your old favorites are back.

How can I activate windows Defender, and where can I find?
I tried finding the Windows Defender application, but can not. Any ideas how I can find and put in operation? I stopped using another product of virus protection, and now I need to get this sort that I do not know if windows 8 is as safe as it should be. It is said that MS W8 malware is quite effective, but is it?
Is there step by step procedures to help with this?

Hello
You will need to uninstall Norton... You'd better go to their website for their removal tool. Simply uninstalling was reported to leave artifacts that still block Windows Defender.
In fact, Norton can offer better protection, but of how much better, you could try a search for comments and/or a comparison... Norton will probably slow down your machine more than the Defender, but I have not tried lately to say how much.
Most likely the Office 365 is a trial provided by the manufacturer of the computer for which you will have to pay for eventually... just a guess but.

my old computer is running vista and I had hundreds of bookmarks on many issues, but I can't find these during the exploration of the old drive. I guess that I can't use the ease of import that I would not be able to access the browser firefox itself on the old drive, but I was hoping that the bookmarks would be stored somewhere accessible
Please follow the instructions on this webpage http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files to show hidden files. Then click Start-> computer-> your old player-> users-> your username-> APPDATA\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\, and follow the remaining instructions in the support article. Let me know if it helps.

Every time I open Firefox V5 (same thing happens in V4) the screen comes up with about 1.5 inches of free space on both sides of the screen (left and right).
I can't find anyway to HELP or any where else in Firefox for adjustments to correct this.
In IE9 (you must have IE on your computer t run WINDOWS because it is part of the operating system) and MS allows you a multitude of options to the scale of the page.
I really prefer the speed and elegance of Firefox, however, I get very tired of the struggle against the small page when I open it.
Any help would be much appreciated...

Hi all
I just bought a new computer and want to use my CS5 Creative Suite of, but when I wen to save it, the site said that I could not. Is it possible that I can use it again?
You can only register a product - it's simply your way of recording with Adobe that you have bought and started to use one of their products. You can activate several times during the life whole but - it happens whenever you reinstall the software, but there are limited to two at any time.
What you need to do, is get your serial number and use it to activate the new installation.
Find the serial number of your Adobe product quickly

Hello
I have used Firefox for a long time and had a good part of the files of bookmarks and always had my account logged in the browser. But then formatted my computer driver problems cause random I had, but didn't think to make a backup file, or something of the sort on the browser history and bookmarks. I thought when you are connected again in Firefox I wish my things back again, like Chrome. But now, after spending some time in the support page, trying to figure out how to get my favorites is closest to my problem that I get when you refresh the browser you reimport bookmarks of an already existing folder, if well I don't have that at all. I'm here now to ask if it is possible to get my favorites yet somehow.
Thank you
Do not reset the password synchronization! That will delete all the data of the account.

I have just re-installed Windows Vista and I can't find all the files he supposedly saved.
I recently reinstalled vista (yes I know I should have bought mac) in any case I can't find all the files I've supposedly saved. any ideas? Thank you
original title: Reinstall vistaHello
You don't say how you have reinstalled or how or where or by which program or process, you saved your data...
A relocation normally will wipe away the old operating system and all data during the resettlement process.
You can try this free program to see if it can recover your data:
