  • Can I restore my copies of Office and other software from a Windows XP Backup?

    I did a full backup of my system Windows XP, including MS Office and other software. I upgraded the system to Windows Vista. Can I restore the backup XP MS Office and other software on Vista?  I installed backup-restore of Windows NT on Vista and open the backup file, selected the folders I wanted to restore and begun to restore. The documents have been restored correctly but SW such as the Office was not. SW files have been restored, but they are not "installed" i.e. do not work, I think it's obvious, but I don't know how to install.

    Thank you.

    original title: restore backup XP on Vista

    In this case, you must reinstall the programs, as has already advised it.

    "If you did a clean install, it's different.

    Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media (CD, DVD, etc.). »

    You can not copy programs installed from another hard drive or a backup.

    The only way that works is if it was a picture of complete backup of XP from the operating system installed and you need to reinstall the full XP Image for the program to work again in this OS XP...

    Hello

    I suggest you run an antivirus scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner to confirm that your computer is free from any infection by the virus. Please find the link below.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection.

  • How to install windows 7 Firefox without 'Ask search' and other software?

    I would like to install Firefox pure, lean without other complementary software, such as "Ask search. Please download from the home page of Mozilla. Thank you for helping.

    I moved cela Firefox Support Forum.

    You have two options.
    (1) uninstall the Ask toolbar to page addons (menu button of Firefox (upper right corner)-> Add-ons or Ctrl + Shift + A
    (2) uninstall Firefox and then re - install from Mozilla directly

    Yahoo!, Ask, and other companies to combine their toolbars and other nonsense with Firefox it is therefore preferable to get it directly from Mozilla to avoid any "bloat-ware".

  • Current running Windows Defender and other software antiviral at the same time?

    Can I run Windows Defender if I run another program of the anti-virals at the same time?

    Windows Defender is disabled to prevent computers on Vista and Windows 7 possible software conflicts when antimalware programs such as AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton are installed.

    For more information about Windows Defender on Windows 7, see http://securitygarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/understanding-microsoft-anti-malware.html

    If it still works after that you installed an antivirus program, I suggest that disable you Windows Defender.

  • Store Windows and other applications does not open

    I use Windows 8 for almost a year, but a few days ago most of the standard Windows applications, including the store, weather, music, news and other, simply won't open.  In some cases the App logo slide from the center of the screen in the upper left corner, where the graphics just circle begins to turn.  In others, the logo disappears and the screen is white white.  No action, no results.

    I made no changes to the system, outside the normal updates, and firewall and proxy configurations are as they have always been.  The standard application only who wants to open cards, which I find a bit confusing.  All applications that I installed and all program open applications (MS Office, Adobe stuff, etc.) and function without problem.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Brush (and other tools) stuck on the function "Alt"?

    Greetings,

    After the use of Photoshop CS5 for a few hours, the cursor of the Brush tool is replaced by the cursor of the pipette. I can see no longer the brush size or shape, just the pipette as if I had to hold the ' Alt ' key.

    By clicking on the (sometimes) reveals the size of the brush and started painting, but other times the eyedropper cursor remains standing. After hitting the 'control' and clicking (or secondary key), the brush Menu comes up, but when I click on the canvas to start brushing, I pick up instead of the color of the pipette.

    Switching to other tools shows their cursor 'Alt' and other random problems occur with those. None of them don't seem to exercise their "Alt" function, but always shows the cursor "Alt".

    Obvious solutions, I tried without success:

    • Restart Photoshop, and sometimes helps, but the problem came back after 1 + hours.
    • Given zero - solves the problem for a short time, but it always comes back.
    • Taped keys keyboard - not the case. All other applications to behavior as expected.
    • Unplug keyboard - there is no "reset".

    Is a kind of function that I'm inadventantly which allows, or is there something wrong here? All solutions?
