  • Not all programs/Windows utilities are available for some reason any

    original title: data backup

    I have an old Windows XP home pc.  Not all programs/Windows utilities are available for some reason any.  Where can I find the Windows backup feature?  I want to save my data files.

    Windows backup is not installed by default on XP Home.  You can install it if you have a genuine Windows XP CD or if you download the full network for SP2 installation file: http://www.ntbackup.us/Articles/install-ntbackup-xp-home.htm

    I suggest, however, that you not install NTBackup, but rather get a cloning/disk imaging application.  What follows is not free, but you get what you pay for.  NTBackup has some limitations (on the one hand, you cannot use NTBackup to backup to the optical media).  NTBackup also is not used in Vista or Windows 7, but after much kicking and screaming, Microsoft made a utility to restore NTBackup for Vista and Win 7 for computers with these operating systems could at least read BKF files created by NTBackup.

    Acronis True Image Home
    Paragon Backup & Recovery Home
    Casper
    Norton Ghost
    O & O

    Ghost was the gold standard for imaging software, then became much less desirable, as well as with many Symantec products.  I understand that the current version is significantly improved.  Of the foregoing do not all have the same feature sets, but all should do a good job of backup and restore.  Some managers hard drive, such as Western Digital, do a version of one of these applications available for free if you use their readers.

  • Word and the calculator do not remember last window position when opening

    I have a problem with the position of the window for Word and calculator.  They don't remember the last position when open.  I tried numerous strategies online such a ctr + close, etc..  What happens is that they will remember the position of the next 2 times they open and then, when opened for the third time, they pass to the left corner of the upper screen.  Excel, Explorer, etc., seem to remember the last screen position and size.  Why not the word and the calculator?  Running Windows 7, 64 bit, Dell 24 inch monitor.  I would like to than the calculator to always open in the lower right corner.  All the patches?

    Thanks for these suggestions.  The problem occurred at any time in the past.  Surprisingly, before me, start to implement your suggestions, there was a series of 15 + / Windows updates.  After these updates, problem solved.

    Don't know why it happened to Word and Excel or Outlook, as they are all of the same suite of Office 2010.  Before post me my question, I did re install Office, and he did control the problem, but only briefly.  I'll see if these new Windows Update solves the problem for a longer period of time.  Hope so.

    It may not seem like much, but I like 40 open and they are all important to me.

    No, you shouldn't. But the safe thing to do before any update is to ensure that you have a time machine current backup.

    Hello

    Several users have reported similar problems during the installation of the add-on from Yahoo. You can try to disable this in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons, if necessary.

    If this isn't the case, you can also check if this happens in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensionsand themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to check if an extension, theme, option or a hardware acceleration is causing issues. Deactivation/activation of hardware acceleration and some types of modules in normal mode may require a restart of Firefox.

    OR
    Drivers of HW can I vista can be used also for windows 7... ?

    Hello

    Satellite A300-20V belongs to the PSAGCE series and so already a lot of drivers for Windows 7 is released and also for 32-bit and 64-bit.

    What drivers need you exactly?

    And Yes, you can use the Vista on Windows 7 drivers. Many of them also work.
    On my Satellite A300 Windows 7 works really well. I got all the drivers for it and it works better then Vista in my opinion.

  • I didn't want tabs at all, just windows. I have vs 39.0

    I want my firefox works as before. I don't want the tabs. The way it works now, is of all Web pages seem to go into an icon at the bottom. If I try to minimize a window, it does not return to the previous window, it goes to my desktop. VERY FRUSTRATING. I want to see all the Windows I have open, distributed along my bar tasks. If there is no solution for this, I'll Safari as I saw suggested elsewhere. Or another solution would be to go to an older version of Firefox that always worked normally.
    Thank you

    As test, could you open two new windows, a regular (Ctrl + n) one private (Ctrl + Shift + p) and describe how the taskbar display changes? Do you get the additional graphics next to the Firefox button simulating a "stack" of buttons? That's what I think that you normally get.

    If the problem is that you want different buttons rather than a stack, the Windows taskbar has a setting for it. Right-click the taskbar, click Properties, and then change buttons setting to never combine. (Screen attached)

    Firefox can also show each tab in the taskbar, but if you try to avoid using tabs, which is probably not relevant. For future reference, it's the setting here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general

    Downstairs, 'Show previews tab in the Windows task bar.

  • Do all the windows display diagonally across the office at the same time.

    Yesterday, I was messing around with my computer. And using the mouse pad, I think that I don't know really, but I did somehow to where he showed all the Windows I had open at the time. It was such a cool feature, and they were all diagonals. and I could move my mouse over them and select a window. Once I have selected the window, I didn't know how to get back up? Nobody knows how to get to where all programs will display diagonal as different pages both on the desktop? Or is it as a feature that only comes with Asus?

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

  • You want to open links in a new tab, not a new window.

    When using a mouse, I know I can middle-click (wheel) and I'm clicking on the link will open in a new tab. I also know that I can drag this link to the sign on the tabs bar + and it will open. But when you use the keyboard only, when I want to open a Web page link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?

    I noticed when looking at the support of Mozilla that hit any box opens in a new tab (this is the effect I want) why is it not the case on other Web pages?

    I can answer my own question here, but would it be the site of "NewsNow" one which is causing my problem?

    As I wrote above, that the tabs setting only applies to links that have a specified target window.
    You can click on the link and the code in the Inspector.

    If there is a button 'ev' Annex then, it means that JavaScript events are related to the link.

  • How to prevent the FF31 opening new window? I want to open all links in a new tab at the top of page.

    I think the following quote, below, for help on the page is my problem.

    I have a site that I use when I click on a link in the Web site it opens a new window with the tab down. In addition, when this happens, I lose the orange rectangle FireFox, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I define FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab, and I keep all my options? I use Classic theme restaurateur 1.2.3. I also note that, in the new window, I lose the ability to use some of the addons.

    I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them works perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both defined by the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.

    I noticed that when I'm going under: config that the version of FF that does not work unless options compared to the version that works. An example would be that the working version has 'browser.tabs.onTop' where, on the other computer laptop is missing.

    > > > open new windows in a new tab instead: this option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in a new window opens in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
    Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and opens a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window must have a specific size, because some pages cannot be displayed correctly to a specific size. < < <

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Yeto

    You can override how the links are opened through the browser.link.open_newwindow.override preference.

    Use it for links opened via JavaScript.
