Hello

In your other thread, you said that your XP CD is damaged.

The manufacturer normally gives you one way or the other to reinstall; not both.

If you had a recovery partition, this is the information:

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?CC=au&LC=en&docName=bph07145#N296

  1. Turn on the computer.
  2. Just after the first screen display (the display of the logo), press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears.
  3. etc.

See you soon.

    Hello raulganau, welcome.

    I suggest to try the system restore to restore the system to a date before the problem started. Try this...
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the instructions on the screen to restore the system to a date before the problem started
    Although the system restore does not target the personal data, I recommend always backup your personal data, just in case something happens.
    For reference, I have included a link that provides more specific information about the restoration of the system and how to use it:
    Let us know if it works,
    Thank you!

  • Help! No one knows what to do when you get the "error Code 2" when you save a document?

    I worked for HOURS and in the end saved some pages of my book as a pdf document, BUT, for some reason, this time above the pdf never showed up! I checked background tasks and he said 'save pdf - 32% '. Because it was taking so long, I left it all night in the hope that it would end on its own. This morning, he said the same thing.

    The problem is now, Indesign is frozen (not answer) and my task manager it will not make it appear. I copied the file, so there is a backup, but the file last saved at 22:45 last nite - so probably this is the file corrupted.

    I have read other forums & troubleshooting pages on this subject, but there is no suggestion on what to do when your program is unresponsive. So I thought I would ask here!

    Any suggestions on what to do next without losing all my work?

    THANK YOU :-|

    You might not like, but try a force quit on ID, or shuts down the computer, assuming that you have not already closed ID.

    Re-booting, then restart ID and I hope that the file will be reopened automatically the data recovery.  Try immediately save money for a new file name, and then export to .idml (you have not told us your OS or the ID version, that we really need to know, but says bottom CS5 or most recent task and the Task Manager indicates a version of Windows). This does not work very well. Error code 2 is generally not recoverable, in my view, directly in the code.

    You should certainly also try to open the saved copy and do the same steps. If you can get a .idml one, which open and save it as another .indd file and I hope it will be good to go. You can also clean the file by exporting InDesign tag text stories and import it into a new document.

    If all else fails and you absolutely positively need to recover rather than rebuild it, you can try the recovery of Markzware service: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery submission form

  • How can I make a button that presses that the object appears and the second press the object disappear

    Hello

    I'm quite new to flash programming, and I don't know how I can make a button that will make the object appear and disappear. Up to now, I have this code for calling:

    (press)

    {

    _root.top1.gotoAndStop (2);

    _root. Topp.gotoAndStop (2);

    _root. MM1.gotoAndStop (2);

    _root. M1.gotoAndStop (2);

    }

    but where I'm stuck.

    Thank you for your help

    What you can do, it's the object _visible property allows you to appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the _visible property opoosite.  You should not put the code 'on' objects, keep it in the timeline.

    If the 'object' is the name of the instance of the object you want to fail over, and then in the code to the timeline you can use...

    Object._visible = false;  First, the object is invisible

    yourButtonName.onRelease = function() {}

    Object._visible =! object._visible;

    }

    Only one line in the function sets _visible to be opposite of what it currently is.

  • How do I know what error codes a particular VI can give?

    Hello

    I tried to write a good error handler (and not one that sends just errors through the application), but I was not able to find information about error codes specific VI can lift. I searched the forum and google but have not found anything on this subject.

    I want something similar to the documentation of .NET is exceptions.

    For example, looking in the documentation for StreamReader.Read.ReadAsync () I tradingtextile.com know what exceptions the method throws and then I can manipulate directly when I get the error. In LabVIEW I do with trial and error; see what mistakes I get during testing and then take care of them. Surely, there must be a better way to deal with this problem?

    I know there are pages with error strings and others, but I want to know what specific mistakes VI to throw. These documents exist for the LabVIEW VI?

    Best regards

    Anders

    The short answer is no. See discussion related http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-show-all-possible-errors-generated-by-a-given-VI/td-p/2159524

    Is anyone here know what DPI?  How can I increase the resolution of a TIFF image at 300 DPI for shipment to a Publisher?

    If the resolution is already less than 300, may not increase to make it higher. You can only do low.

    Yes, you can increase the DPI value.
