    Please enlighten us on this issue.

    Thank you.

    a factory restore is not identical to a windows system restore.

    While a restore of windows re - interrupts the previous versions of the system and program files

    a factory restore is the original state of the computer at the same time that he has left the factory.

    so a factory restore will wipe the hard drive and then re-install all software provided with the computer original.

    to this end, if a faulty the system restore windows to make the system functional again, then the restoration of the factory is the ultimate option to make the system work again.

    the only way to solve a software problem is sometimes with the method above.  However, the method above can not solve the problem below.

    in return is that a windows system restore or a factory restore can overcome problems related to defective hardware.

    in any case, keep in mind that, before executing a factory restore, the user must copy their personal files and email boxes and internet Favorites before performing this procedure.

  • NI Service Update: updates and Service Packs: LabVIEW FPGA Module Xilinx Tools 10.1 2012

    Hello

    I downloaded / installed the latest 2012 LV - everythin fine so far (his grand )

    OR-Update Service proposed the installation of a service pack - download and installation worked too.

    NOR-US also suggested to update the tools for FPGA from Xilinx module, but the download does not work. It looks that the download link is broken?

    Any suggestions?

    Another interesting question: I live in Austria (German), but we use Windows & LV entirely in English in our society. NOR-United States however is highly localized - even the description of the object is in German. While it is OK for me, I still wonder if I could change it to English too.

    I am running WIndows 7 Ultimate and my Explorer window displays more info at the bottom pane in the files list. Is there any component at all. It does not matter what library or folder that I discovered in the Details view, there is no pane. When I browse the same libraries through residential group however, sharing on my laptop computer that is also running windows 7 ultimate, the pane is there.

    I just installed Service pack 1 and still no detail pane.  Can I change the details of the view to everything I want to display in the list of file in detail, but there is nothing else than the status at the bottom toolbar.  I tried turning this toolbar on and outside, but no difference.

    I can't seem to find information on how to activate the details, on and outside pane, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    In Windows Explorer, it should just be a case of clicking organize , then layout , then click on the details pane. You say that this does not work for you?
