I saved a file on a 3.5 diskette in 1996. Now when I try to open it I tells me that the disc needs formatting, which would eliminate can data. Is it possible to recover the data?
Test entered using MS Word.
Your problem is almost certainly that the disk contains not one
the media descriptor byte. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=140060
To resolve this issue, format a different diskette on your current computer,
then find a place where a computer that is running Windows 95 or 98. Take the
diskette, you can read as well as you just formatted than 95
or 98 computer and copy the first of these.
You will be able to read the diskette copied to your power source
machine.

Have two old CD/DVD with the old movies of family 8mm on them. When I try toopen them I get a statement that ' cannot they in format Samsung "suggestions?
that is a difficult question. Try VLC to see if it will open to them. Usually when the disc appears on the desktop, if you click on it and let go, then press the clover sheet and I (get info command), you should be able to choose which application/program can open them. I have not already heard talk of the "samsung" format, I know there is a stranger there (lie format MTS from Sony). Regarding the conversion of them, maybe MPEG streamclip or hand brake? worst case scenario, you may need to spend some money to buy a video conversion app/program
Sorry I can't help you more

Transfer of license with a twist
So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.
If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone. Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315
If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows. Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

What have you tried so far?
Can you try reinstalling Firefox? Uninstall it from your control panel > programs and features/add / remove programs (if you want to keep your bookmarks and other information, not deletion of personal information). After uninstallation, delete the Mozilla Firefox folder to remove the remnants of files damaged uninstallation (your profile is in a different location, so will not be affected by the present):
- (installation of 32-bit) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- (installation of 64-bit) C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
Download and reinstall the latest version:

When I try to uninstall creative cloud he says that the application is busy.
I downloaded a trial version of indesign. I am a novice user and do not understand the relationship of the creative cloud in indesign. I just bought a team license and felt that I must get rid of the files indesign and existing creative cloud before you download the new (since this is now a team license). But when I try to uninstall, it won't let me because it says I have an application that depends on the creative cloud of the function. When I try to open the creative cloud, it will not be open. I assume that the request is indesign, but I am confused where to find them and open or delete indesign - I have no icon for indesign.
As you can see, I am completely confused and need advice. I am running Windows 7.
In this case I would advice you to Contact Customer Services where the agent can remotely on your machine and help you solve the problem.

Hi Chris.Plucker,
Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum
I would like to ask you a few questions to better understand:
(a) you try to open the file from Internet Explorer?
(b) if so, have you tried with other browsers?
(c) from which site did you download Windows 7?
(d) what is the name of the file you want to download?To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.
Follow the steps below to put your computer in a clean boot state:
Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
2. click on the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Startup items load check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)
4. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then all disable.
Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
5. click on OK, then restarting.
Check the link to learn more about the clean boot below:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
1. click the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
2 in the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click on OK.
3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.
Waiting to hear from you
Thanks and greetings
