  • My hosts file has been damaged. I can't change the corrupted file

    My system hosts file has been corrupted by some types of malware. I'm stuck to go on sites like google and youtube.

    I have windows xp family

    I know what I need to change in the hosts file, but I can't change the attributes. I tried to use Notepad, but it does not record.  I guess that's because it is readonly and a file system. I tried to use the cmd commands and attribute... does not work.  Don't know how to change the hosts file.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • I opened Firefox iDIVI seems to have succeeded as my homepage, how can I change this? My computer has been corrupted?

    When I open Firefox, it opens to the iDIVI homepage. As far as I know, I have never agreed to this amendment. Why what happened? My computer has been corrupted? How can I remove this and continue to have firefox as my homepage?

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

    I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

    Hello:

    There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

    What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

    This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

    That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

    Here's how...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

    The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

    Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.

  • Add or remove programs? Uninstall it says invalid or data has been corrupted, will not continue.

    Add or remove programs. The program I want to uninstall it is Printmaster 150.00 MB. I tried to uninstall it but uninstall it says invalid or data has been corrupted,

    will not continue. How to get out he computer?

    If you have the original installation media, a method that often works when an uninstall program is corrupt is to reinstall the app and then uninstall it.

    Otherwise, you could try free Revo Uninstaller or see http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/comphelp/msg081415488395.html (unfortunately, the link to the manual uninstall instructions doesn't work; support for Broderbund software has been adopted by Encore.com, the search engine it leaves something to be desired; however, you can ask for help in a forum yet http://forums.encoreusa.com/).

    How to contact Technical Support (it is not clear if all Printmaster versions are still supported; I would try telephone assistance rather than on the web):
    http://forums.encoreusa.com/TM.asp?m=24071&mpage=1&key=%E5%B8%87

    The following (below the line *) comes from a post on the support forums forum moderator yet.  I have not linked to it because earlier in the post, it is suggested to use a registry cleaner in the manual uninstall.  Certainly, I do NOT recommend to use any registry cleaner.

    *************************************************************************************************************
    NOTE:
    this message does not apply to PrintMaster 2.0 or Print Shop 2.0.

    Broderbund programs, including (but not limited to) print shop, PrintMaster, designer of Scrapbook memories of creation and creator of calendar, are installed in the Program Files folder where most of the software are installed. However, many Broderbund programs will install also files and folders in other places on the hard drive.

    When one of these programs of Broderbund is uninstalled because it is suspected that the installation is corrupt, it's always a good idea to make sure to manually delete all the files and folders stored on the hard drive that are not deleted automatically during an uninstall normal - to ensure that all corruption is removed before the program, is reinstalled.

    Here are the paths of the additional folders where Broderbund software is commonly installed:

    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

    and

    C:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Local Settings\Application Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

    WinVista/Win 7: C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund logiciels\Print

    and

    C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund logiciels\Print.

    and

    C:\ProgramData\Broderbund logiciels\Print

    **********

    PrintMaster address books can be accessed from and saved to the BOOKS folder that is a subfolder of the folder prints shown below (PrintMaster address books may be accessed from or saved to the Documents folder)

    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

    WinVista/Win 7:Print and C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund logiciels\Print logiciels\ C:\ProgramData\Broderbund

    (As you can see, when PrintMaster address books are registered under WinVista and Windows 7, they are saved in two files).

    For example, the address for PrintMaster 18 books would be saved in these folders on WinVista or Windows7 computer

    C:\ProgramData\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\Books

    C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\Books

    To make sure that saved the address books are not deleted during the uninstall process, they must be saved prior to PrintMaster is uninstalled. When these address books are restored, it will be necessary to restore these in the same two folders address books - because an address book will not appear in the file. Open list, if not in the two files.

    Address books print shop can easily be stored in the Documents folder. So, if you have registered your address books in the Documents folder, it is not necessary to save the address book before you uninstall the print shop.

    **********

    Files that control the Project Gallery and the Art Gallery are stored in the folders of ART PROJECTS & which are subfolders of this folder to print

    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\ [your username] \Local Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

    WinVista/Win 7: C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund logiciels\Print.

    For example, ART & for PrintMaster 18 PROJECT files would be in this folder on WinVista or Windows7 computer

    C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\PROJECTS

    Because these files can easily become corrupt if the video card driver is out of date or corrupted, the program folder that has been uninstalled (in this case, the folder 18.0) must be removed before the program is re-installed. It is completely safe to delete the folder PrintMaster - because a new facility this 18.0 folder will be performed when PrintMaster is uninstalled.

    If there is only one version of PrintMaster installed on the computer, the PrintMaster folder in this example could also be deleted safely.

    **********

    It is not absolutely necessary to remove the Adbook.exe file that controls the program PrintMaster addressbook. But it's always a good idea to know that this file is installed in this folder

    C:\Program Files\Fichiers Files\Broderbund\UMM

    Dell provides only an operating system reinstallation disk, not a disc of "valorisation".

    If you reside in the United States or to the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with a guarantee of active, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

    Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

    If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

    Hello Vishal,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.
