new HP6240 with 7

I don't know if I'm asking this correctly, I set up the new computer, (love it, windows7) follow-up inst to make recovery disks. System image backup, was this something that I should have done. (sys image, it shows on the D drive as uses Factory Image and it's a lot of GB) I have it on cd should I leave it on the D drive. If this is confusing I'm sorry, I know just enough (or I think) to get me in trouble. This is not an upgrade, it is a new computer with 7 installed - thank you JK

Ayse,

If you created the recovery disks, then you need not the partition recovery hard disk more.  That being said, if you need to run a recovery, part of the hard drive is much faster than disk.  If you don't mind the extra time, you can go ahead and remove the hard disk from the recovery partition.

If you still have access to the Recovery Manager, you can remove the recovery partition by following these steps:

Keep in mind, it is strongly recommended that you create your recovery discs before you delete the recovery partition.

  1. Click Start
  2. Type "Recovery" in the start search field - select recovery manager
  3. Click on advanced options
  4. Select Delete the recovery partition on your hard disk to increase available disk space
  5. Click next

    Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one in a few months.

    You may lose everything.  iMessage, like most e-mail services, don't keep permanently undeliverable messages.  They only keep in the short period send queue (I don't know exactly how much time but some Apple tech sites indicate no more than 10 days to two weeks) until they are purged.  That's pretty standard as otherwise, large volume, messaging services would be sitting on tera-bytes of messages not delivered each month.

    You actually have to change my phone number?  If not, let alone sign and only in iMessage when you have the new phone with this set of numbers upward to the service.

  • Shortcut for the new window with several tabs

    Is it possible to have a shortcut on the desktop to launch a new window with several tabs? For example - home page is set to "www.google.com", but the shortcut opens new window with tabs "www.cnn.com" and "www.youtube.com".

    Then far,.../firefox.exe-nouveau-fenetre followed by the two URL in quotes will open two new windows. Entry - new-window "www.cnn.com" - new-tab 'www.youtube.com' will open two new windows if no instance of firefox is open, but if another window is already open, youtube will add a tab to the already open window, rather than the new window with cnn.com

    In reply to myself... withdrawal-order new window (and-new-tab), now it works.

    Looks like I'm too complicated it.

    shortened final was "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla ' 'url1'"url2.

  • If FF 39.0 on a new PC with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits - in the sidebar search results bBookmarks are slow - is new facility there a solution for this?

    Recently I've just set up a new PC with Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) as the operating system. I just imported bookmarks from my PC in one. HTML file, I created from my old PC. Now whenever I type a search term in the search box to refine my search for one of my favorites of many, sometimes even by typing in the term search begins to lag while I'm typing more letters. Search term/terms once entered, it seems to take 15-20 seconds before the results list appears. This used to be almost instantaneous in this same version of FF (39.0) on my old PC 64 bit of Windows 7 (Home Premium) to bring up the results. I already tried to install the add-on called "signed 1.3.1 - 0 maintenance of the premises and this time there really doesn't make any difference that it helped when I got FF 38.0.5 on my old PC to Win 7 64-bit." Can it still be addressed. Please update as soon as POSSIBLE with the solution.

  • Cannot start a new conversation with relay of sms on the Mac or iPad.

    Very strange problem and I have tried seemingly everything. SMS relay works fine on all my Apple devices. I can send and receive messages either SMS or iMessage. However, I can't start a NEW conversation with relay. I can only answer to the conversations that are already started. (does not matter if I started or the other party)

    When I want to send texts to my boyfriend who doesn't have an active conversation in the list of messages I have to text him to my main iPhone (that the relay is activated on) and after that the convo appears right in messages on mac, the other my iPhone and my iPad, and I can continue to send messages from any device.

    I tried to close off the coast of relay and allows once again. Restart the phone. Restart the mac. Disabling iMessage on the iPhone. Ensure that all devices are on the same wifi network. A lot of things that shouldn't matter...

    A few tips here after a reset of the iPhone?

    Also note that my iPhone is running iOS 10 beta 2 now, BUT I had this problem for some time. Long before I had the beta version.

    Well, that's disappointing...

  • I have a new laptop with Windows 7. The navigation (?) bar comes and goes, depending on the position of the cursor. I wish it were still visible. What should do?

    I just downloaded and configured FireFox for my new computer with Windows 7. I've included restaurateur Classic theme in my Add ons. I have only 1 bar (Navigation (?)) at the top of the screen, under the tabs. It has everything I need in there, but I want it to be stationary, rather than appearing when I move the cursor towards it & if I move the cursor away in endangered. I would like to be able to see the bar without having to stop what I'm doing to make it reappear. This seems to be a novelty. My old version of several weeks, do not. Help, please. Thank you...

    I can't think of anyway to make the Navigation bar appear/disappear based on the direction in which you move your mouse.

    Well, there is the view full screen, where the area of entire toolbar including the tabs slide bar up out of the screen and reappears if you drag the pointer of the mouse completely to the top. (You can use the F11 key to activate the full screen on and outside).

    Is it possible, that there is an option of one of your extensions?

  • I don't want the new tab with apps opening when I open Firefox, how to fix this?

    I want to just the home page to open without the new tab with a search bar on this issue.

    Sometimes the home page changes are caused by a new extension or external software change your Firefox settings. These can sneak in when you install other software, as many free programs include a set of less useful things.

    Could check you your extensions for the actions essential or unrecognized? Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. Or if it's obviously nonsense, delete.

    If the button Delete is absent for an extension, you can usually find a way to remove it using the Control Panel, uninstall a program (or all what is it called now to the point Windows 8.1). By clicking on the column heading to sort by date, "installed on" is useful to find and remove unknown elements not trustworthy bundle or other additions.

    Once your system is clean, your preferred homepage appears, either immediately or after the update the setting in Options?

  • Every time Firefox opens, I get new tab, with my desired as a tab page I click on get to. How to get back to how it was in previous versions?

    After updating to the latest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and one that appears on my screen is new tab with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go. Also, when I click on a link, the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab I have to click to get to. It's actually quite boring and inconvenient. How to get back to the way it was, so that when I run Firefox it opens on my homepage, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link I clicked on? This new and improved IMO is really new and worse.

    A further extension could have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you may have installed recently.

    Try turning off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so completely junk, delete).

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    That get rid of the extra tab?

    Note: I also suggest to visit the Control Panel, uninstall a program and by clicking on the column heading "installed on". This should bring the most recent additions at the top and group by install date so that you can examine the software may have unexpected how have been installed.

  • We can not get firefox installed on our new laptop with windows 8, what should we do?

    I have a 8.1 of Windows on a new computer platform. When we try to download firefox button returns to push in execution. After that, Norton scan and says that it is safe, but a new program with very few people to use. I click on the spot by saying that it is safe and it goes, but the program does not work. I also tried to download and then run. It will download but when I try to run Norton rises and happens the same thing as above.
    I also tried to disable Norton for an hour and tried 2 same things as above with the same results.

    In the case where Norton opposes the "stub" Installer (the download has the word "stub" in the name) try using the full installer. You can download from the following page, just scroll your preferred language:

  • I can't download to work - it does not copy the mp3 files to my location (as defined in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

    I am running windows xp sp2 and I put my site to dowload under (Tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my location of choice on my HD - instead, it opens a new window with a 'player' of fortune and starts to load the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system, firefox has copied this file, so, I can't leave and come back later and read this MP3 file using winamp. I need to hear right then or lose - if I close this new window (with this puny little ' player'), then I lose the download, there where to put firefox on my PC (I have no idea where it is). It's all under firefox 25.0

    I also use FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file, I want to, and downloads of firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) to my location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over break and resume , and, when it's done, the download window offers me the option 'open containing folder' so I can make sure that where I wanted. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox on winxp sp2 25.0! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and everything looks good, but firefox 25.0 don't know just my chosen and always default place to give me fortune player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 files on my hard drive - it's firerox almost unusable 25.0 since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my use firexfox - please help. I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I do not understand what has happened to firefox?

    Hello littleberry, you can click on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...
