  • Firefox would not be updated. Then I uninstalled and installed the most recent version. But it never opened and I can't find any. Now, using Google Chrome!

    Can someone tell me what is happening and how I can go back to using Firefox?

    Firefox works if download you it here?

    Before installing it again, I would like to uninstall it (but do not check Disable checkboxes), then delete the Firefox program directory. Save your profile just in case before you start.

  • I tried to open firefox this morning that she would not let me do, instead, I got an error message saying: error-platform version 10.0.1 is not compatible with minversion > = 10.0, maxversion < = 10.0 "I'm not sure what I can do. Thank you

    I noticed that firefox updated last night before I shut down my computer, and then when I turned it on this morning I received the error message that I described above. It doesn't let me Open firefox.

    I don't know what you see or what generates error messages.

    Firefox 10.0.1 should run on Windows XP, I have it running on an XP. I guess that the error message comes from a site/file Firefox tries to open or some plugin that you normally use with Firefox. You can try to confirm exactly what is the full message and it generates.

    Maybe if you attach a screenshot of the message it would be useful to clarify what's happening...

  • I'm trying to print using my own profile and no color management.   I have found a lead to the Adobe Color Print Utility but reached a point where he declared that she would not work with future versions of the Mac operating system.   I have Mac OS 10,11,

    I have been printing PSD images with my own profiles and color management using an Epson R2880.

    I've now changed to a Mac with OO 10.11.3 and unable to replace the color management.   I found a lead on the Adobe Color printer utility but failed and got a message saying that the utility has only worked with an earlier version of the OS 10.   Is there a way to turn this problem?

    GHK

    You don't want or need to use the old setting 'No Color Management'. Is no longer the right way to print with a custom printer profile, in the current versions of Photoshop and OS X.

    To use a custom profile to print, use the attached picture settings:

    • In the print dialog box, set the Photoshop color management menu manages colors.
    • Select your profile to the printer in the printer profile menu.
    • In the settings of printer driver Epson (under Printer Setup button) make sure that the Epson printer driver is set to the color - off management.

    I don't know why Adobe Color Printer Utility works in 10.11.3, because I can throw on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because you don't want to use it for this purpose Adobe Color Printer Utility is only to print a profiling target, no images. And it won't let you print using your custom printer profile, because the whole point of the utility is to print with no discoloration whatsoever.

  • Adobe Muse would not be updated. So I uninstalled and then re-installed. Now, I've lost all the sites I've created with it. Please tell me they're on the cloud somewhere?

    Whenever I opened my Muse he told me there's an update. So, every time I click on the installation and then he told me it was already installed, but it wasn't. Read other forums and people with similar problems, it says to uninstall muse, and then reinstall it. So that's what I did and it worked really. My Muse is updated. The only problem is ALL MY previously created WEBSITES GONE! Please tell me they're on the cloud SOMEWHERE!

    Nevermind, I found them. Sorry for the quick panic.

  • I need to do a restore on my laptop but I upgraded from premium to ultimate on the line, the restoration will cost the factory how to re - install my upgrade printed only email to purchase

    I have a Sony Vaio VGN series laptop PC that is corrupted and requires a complete restoration of the factory. Recovery discs when it's upgrade in place, but I'm not sure that it will be part of the recovery. I have the original e-mail printed purchase for online upgrade, including the key I will be able to use it again on the same laptop, it was installed on?

    The first thing you need to do is to get your Windows 7 Ultimate Anytime Upgrade key:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
     
     
     
    or

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

    The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate.
     
    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
     
    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
     
     
     
    -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
     
    -HP use F9 on most of its systems
     
    -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
     
    -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

    -Dell uses F12
     
     
     
    In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
     
     
     
    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • Need to backup data before restoring my computer with the dell factory restore?

    I experienced some problems with windows so I thought to use the system to dell factory restore.
    I have actually three drives 1 is for the n other operating system is for my personal data n the last of them is the recovery partition. And now if I want to restore what should I back up my data on the drive that is not involved with the operating system?
    Would there be any deletion of my D drive (not used in the operating system)?
    Should I have to backup the personal drive (drive D)?
    Or should I just format my C drive (with operating system) and data must be assigned on drive D (personal car)?

    You should always back up data.

    Dell, ask questions about their recovery process.
    Their recovery process will be how you bought, with two only the main road and the recovery partition; but not your data partition

    Read the info here on how to use the Dell recovery options:

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

  • Try to restore Satellite U400 with external ODD

    Hi, I'm fighting with my laptop trying to restore it to factory settings, my cd player died some time ago and I have been using an external.

    I tried to restart using the recovery disks in the external drive, it starts the process and wants the recovery disk set in the default cd player (one broken), also tried to restart the recovery of HARD drive and receive the same message to put the disc into the cd player?

    I also have a copy of windows THAT XP pro disk so I downloaded a program called wintousb and tried to boot and load a new copy of windows by the usb port, got an error about a missing file.

    I'm about to give up then if someone could help me that would be great.

    Thank you

    Hello

    One of my friends owns a Satellite U400 and I tried to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive, but this was not possible. I guess that there is no support on the side of the BIOS.

    However, the installation using the USB it works...
    I recommend you the Win - USB forum of possible solutions.

    In addition, you must make sure that the driver SATA is included because Win XP would not see the HARD drive without driver

    You can see if just the commands regsvr32 will get your SR calendar will, but I would still recommend the scans MBAM and SAS...
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.
    Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).
    Re-record the dll is correct, even if they do not need re-registration.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.
    Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command:
    regsvr32 jscript
    regsvr32 vbscript
    regsvr32 /i mshtml
    The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.
    Check your system restore calendar now.
