Migrating to Win7 desktop to laptop Win XP

I've been using TB for a few months now on Win7. Now I need to copy my file mail on WinXP on my laptop for a road trip.

On my desk, I have configured to use a profile on a TB data partition and it works fine.

I installed TB on my laptop and made it a mirror image of the desktop version. TB installed in the boot partition with the profile in the data partition.
I changed the profile.ini in the documents and settings folder to point to the the new data partition profile but every time I start TB it wants me to setup my accounts. It doesn't seem to get what in needs from the new profile. I tried several times and have read the info on moving the profile location but still does cannot make it work.

Am I missing something? I have not tried manually add each account back in but if I can't get the copied profile to work. I did work on Win7, why I can't make it work on Windows XP?

What Miss me?

  1. Copy your new profile name and delete this profile.
  2. Change the old profile name with the new profile name (copied a)
  3. Copy this profile to thunderbird.

Still get error, create a new profile and try this

  • Pilot of sharing between the computer desktop (Win 7) and laptop (Win Vista)

    I want to share a driver containing data on my desktop (Win 7) files with a laptop (Win Vista Home Basic) through a router. I did as follows: click with the right button on the driver to share > share > sharing > advanced sharing > add "everyone" in the list name. A share icon appeared then on this driver (the driver is able to share with all the world connect to my desktop). But he denied when I tried to access this driver for my laptop. I have already disabled the protection password to the "network and sharing Center" on my desktop. Is it necessary to do more installation in office and cell phones?

    Hello

    An access denied error message may occur for one or more of the following reasons:

    • The folder property can be changed
    • You do not have the appropriate permissions
    • The file can be encrypted

    Problems to work on files and folders in Windows can be caused by permissions issues, or even corrupt corrupted user accounts. These problems often occur after the upgrade to another version of Windows, connection to other computers on a network or even simply plug an external hard drive to your computer.

    Perform the steps mentioned in the article and check the results. Make sure that you have taken ownership and read the sections 'number 1' as suggested in the article.

  • Why FireFox 13 works differently on my desktop and laptops? On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer, but on my laptop, it's the new version.

    13 Firefox is the browser by default on my desktop and laptop, however, they have different menu systems. Why?

    On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer no doubt because everything is in English and easy to see and search. For example, on the menu desktop there a Tools option where I can quickly erase my history and cache.

    But on my laptop, it's the new paradigm where several menu commands are hidden and difficult to find, therefore, I do not like this new design. I don't understand why Firefox made this change, when the old system was much better and more effective.

    Is there a way I can get the old system menu back on my laptop?

    Thank you

    1. I'm not running XP, I use Win 7 on both systems.

    2. nothing happened when I pressed the ALT key, the menu bar does not show upward and I'm frustrated. However, I kept trying, hold the ALT key and finally he appeared. I then checked the menu bar, and it seems as if it worked.

    Thanks for your help.

  • try to print from my Win7 x 64 laptop over the network (homegroup or workgroup) to an enslaved Dell Photo AIO Printer 926

    I'm trying to print from my Win7 x 64 laptop over the network (homegroup or workgroup) to an enslaved Dell Photo AIO Printer 926.  When I look for the computer on the laptop, I find, it seems to be fine, but when I print a job, the print job is in the queue on the laptop and does not send the job to the desktop printer.  I had it once before but a relocation removed.  I'm not sure why I see the desktop of my laptop printer but cannot get it working again.

    Any advice?  Thank you

    You need the Windows7 x 64 drivers for the printer (and perhaps software and fimware) installed on your laptop to be able to print using the printer on another computer if he uses another operating system...  Maybe when you reinstalled you forgot to install these things.  Try this and see if you can then print.

    If this does not help, please post in the Forums Windows7; http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/category/Windows7 where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

    I hope this helps.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

    Looking for the location of your catalog in the menu help > system information. It's all the folder containing the database file catalog.pse14db.

    It's easy to synchronize your catalog...

    But...

    Even if the media folder tree has the same structure, which does not work and all your files will be displayed as "offline" in the catalog synchronized. The reason is that the catalogue in computer stores the location of the media files by the full path AND the identification of the drive (internal serial number). The synchronized catalog will not find files on computer B.

    So, what would be your choice?

    -Store your multimedia files on an external drive and plug it alternately on both computers. No need to synchronize media files; You can even save the catalog on the external drive, no need to synchronize the catalog folder either. Downside: who does not act as a backup. You can use your sync as a simple backup to restore in the drive of origin if necessary.

    -According to John R Ellis, you can assign the same serial number for both drives.

    psedbtool (database of the elements of Photoshop tool)

    I have not tested this, but it should work.

    -The good old method of backup and restore, forgetting the 'sync' is slow, but much more secure (you have two copies over a backup). The HUGE advantage is that you can easily migrate to another computer and still another version of elements, even another OS.

    -My own solution requires some fiddling with the sqlite database and a good understanding of the structure of the database. I have syncs media and catalog or via Synctoy Windows files on an external drive. I create a copy of the catalog I have change in sqlite to point to the serial number of the external drive. The catalogue of the external drive and media are available to any computer with the same version of elements. The advantage of the 'synctoy' method is that it is much easier and faster than an incremental backup in the Organizer.

    Description of the problem: same problem on the computer desktop and laptop at the same time began: cannot install Windows updates (has no status)

    No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.

    Method of connection: wireless

    Technical expertise: intermediate level

    Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

    Hello amib004,

    As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

  • HP wireless tv connect - rarely a laptop Win 8 links

    I have no trouble to connect my laptop Win 7 or Android tablet to an HDTV using the HP Wireless Connect device.

    Connection occurs very quickly.

    But I have a lot of trouble trying to get my laptop Win 8.1 link to the TV. It comes me repeat it is the link, but it is not a link. Now and then, in retarting or reconnect, I get connection but it's sporadic.

    Any suggestions?

    Ian

    Ramvoo users on the Windows 8 Forum has found a way to make the work of HP. I used his approach with my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work with either of my SAMSUNG HD TVs.

    It is clearly of a workaround but here go us:

    1. go on devices and printers in Control Panel

    2. in the unspecified section, double-click the HP icon wireless transmitter

    3. click the Hardware tab, click device defined compatible provider HID, then properties

    4. in the section of the general tab, click on change settings

    5. in the driver section, click on disable. You will receive a message of global warming. Answer Yes.

    HP will now be flagged as disabled. Fine. But it will now work.

    When you select later where the project office, use the combination of keys Fn + F8 and choose either expanded or second screen only. Duplicate does not work.

    Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.
