  How can I download and replace the fonts directory in the folder Windows for Vista?

  I think I have a corrupted font file, but I don't know which.

  Thank you

  George Criffield

  Oh sorry, you will need to obtain from another computer Windows Vista or your install disc (if you have one, these instructions are here).  I have just the zip and give you a complete file of fonts, but it's against the license (and technically to the United States law) for them to be distributed.

• Gateway DX4300 - how to restore the drivers to the folder window.old.

  Hi, I just reformatted my PC. lost all my drivers and ask you how to restore the drivers to the folder window.old. My PC is a gateway dx4300 built in maps Ethernet and video. Unfortunately the gateway doesn't have these drivers.__Thanks.

  Oh, how it would help if truly comprehensive published Gateway of material form for a machine... :(

  I only am not surprised you found the driver for the modem didn't work - the only one I found was a Vista driver in proportion; Server 2 k 8 x 64 probably don't like that too much.  ;)
  But, a little research on Google (and, looking at the list of Vista drivers for this machine) does not give something useful: your card network (the thing you need more) seems to be a Marvell Yukon 88E8075 (possibly 88E8071) Gigabit NIC.  These drivers are available directly from Marvell: http://www.marvell.com/support.html
  Just select "88E8075" in the menu dropdown part number, then take the package Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x 64).  Install it, get the machine online, run Windows Update.  I am betting that WU will be able, at a minimum, give you work pilots 'real' (rather than the generic or non-existent drivers you have) so that you can sort.
  Honestly, I'm surprised that there is no drivers for this NETWORK adapter - it's a fairly common piece.

• Is it possible to recover files deleted from your Recycle Bin, after the failure of the computer after the backup hard drive contained in the folder windows.old, including system files?

  Very well. My computer is messed up awhile back and my friend saved my whole hard drive, the files system and everything, then wiped and restored, then ALL put in a folder called "windows.old" that I can access my hard drive. So since he has saved the files system and everything, I'll be able to recover my old files I had deleted before it was erased, if (hopefully) they is not replaced? If so, what filepath can I go in?

  Hi thatonehxckid,

  The content in the trash is not saved in the folder windows.old during a custom installation.

  You can simply DELETE THE WINDOWS. O file if your computer is running norml:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933212
  This will give you more space.

  If your computer does not correctly him follow these steps:

  The single was is to back up all you produce, programs, data, but does not back up the WINDOWS. O file. You can delete the folder before making the back-up. Back to the top of your files before you begin reinstalling Windows, even if you're reinstalling Windows on a hard disk partition. A clean installation replaces the current version of Windows and all personal files

  On start-up MODE MINIMAL step #7 you want to make sure that DELETE you PARTITIONS
  It will give you an option and a list for delete you old partitions

• File $NtUninstall in the folder Windows on Windows XP

  Original title: Questions after installing windows explorer 8 with the XP operating system

  My computer has XP windors as operating system.  I downloaded IE 8 a week ago.  Works pretty well, but I was looking around

  in my file of windows and I noticed a large number of files to uninstall.  At least 50 files or more.  These part of the internet explorer 8?  The folders are named $NtUninstallKB9 and more digits following that.  All records are with the police in blue color just internet explorer 8 is now.  This part of the program and why so much of?

  Thank you

  Cheryl H.

  Hello

  The folder $NtUninstallKB9 and similar files you are talking about are the Windows Update files.

  They are installed when you install an update to the computer.

  You can ignore these files because they have no effect on the safety or performance of the computer.

  These uninstaller folders will help to uninstall updates.

• How to reduce the firefox window border

  I'm trying to get rid of the "border" above the line of tabs in Firefox 36.0 in white.
  I wish that each tab to extend completely to the top of the screen so that when I push my mouse upwards and the screen limits the cursor to move more, he places the cursor on one of the tabs. For now, this puts the cursor over this border, so I then slightly down the mouse to click on the tab. Who is?
  I guess an easy css line that I can add to my Chrome folder exists, but I'm not smart enough to know what it is.
  I'm guessing that this border is a part of the line of tabs, otherwise, it can be the window border.

  Basically, I would like to get the line of tabs in Firefox to be more like Chrome, it's the height of the button red X Windows (minimum space).

  You can try to use a negative top-margin for the #TabsToolbar value in the userChrome.css file
  I'm not on Windows, so it is impossible to check what value works.

  userChrome.css:

  @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
  
  #TabsToolbar { margin-top: -2px !important; }
  

  The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

• Deleting the folder Windows.old in Windows 7 to 8 afterupgrading

  I've recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and then again to 8.1. A copy of my old windows has been kept on the C drive as old windows, then again in the form of old windows 001. When I tried to delete the first, I made a mistake and changed the permissions of the user: Pauls PC in the folder 'properties '. But then I made a mistake again when I got bored with waiting so that he finishes and you press "Cancel". Yet once, I stuffed up - when I was warned by the pop-up that I can cause some serious trouble if I do not change the permissions back immediately, I ignored it, and now I have 15 GB hard drive that I can't access. The other windows 001 old that I got rid of listening on online forums and creating an administrator account. Can you help me with advice, or I always this hard disk space?

  The built-in system cleaning app allows to safely remove the files, rather than delete directly from the file Explorer.  Here's how:

  1. Press +R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK
  2. Select all types of cleanups to perform, and then click OK to clean the drive.  If you care only cleaning of the update, go to step 4 instead.
  3. When you are finished, press on +R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK once more.
  4. This time, choose "clean up system files" at the bottom of the box first and then recheck all types of cleaning.  He is one who will have the opportunity to "Cleaning Windows Update". The first pass (step 2 above) won't do.

• Successfully installed XP Mode, but is not "Windows XP Mode" in the folder "Windows Virtual PC"...

  Successfully, I installed XP Mode and the VPC and ran the first time very well. I installed a few programs and quit smoking. Now, I have a Windows Virtual PC folder in my Start menu. It has shortcuts to launch the programs that I have already installed and they work fine, but there is no way to start XP Mode in its own window that it was when I ran, so I can not install anything else.

  All the info I've found say to select Start-> all programs-> Windows Virtual PC-> Windows XP Mode. However, in the installation of this entry is not. The only thing there is another folder containing the apps I had installed the first time.

  Please offer suggestions for the restoration of the facility.

  Thank you.

• Why don't the FOLDER WINDOWS remember their size and position when last closed windows program how do.

  All files should be able to recall it size and position ANY TIME THEY ARE OPEN.

  The hot - fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979560 (however caused heart attack when the computer would not start after the installation) is a nice step in the right direction but not a complete solution.  Windows foldershould open in the State they were when closed last.  Already, they remember the way their information is displayed, then why not their size and their position.

  Windows has always been very weak in the area of memory of the Office Organization.  God forbid your icon layout should be messed up.

  Bravo on the labelling of the things in the taskbar, but why not the desktop computer?
