• The best words can't be removed permanently. He must have installed a hidden file that creates the add on every time the computer is started.

  I inadvertently allowed the best words to add to install for Firefox. It's annoying adds and sometimes links to malware. It can be disabled or removed from a session and become non-functional after you restart Firefox, but whenever the computer is started, it reappears. I guess it must be a file hidden somewhere that re - installs the add-in on each time the computer is started. Does anyone know how to permanently delete it?

• erasure of the computer to start again

  I received a computer from a member of the family with the installation cd (microsoft windows xp home edition with the cd of use) I want to erase all data currently on the computer and start new, how do I do this?  The former owner has save and recovered all the data they want, I would like to erase and start again,

  I agree with the post of Jeeped formatting the drive will be enough for what you want.

  Make sure you have the 25 character product key to activate before the start. If the machine is an office look at the back of the COA that will have the product key; the COA on a laptop is usually on the bottom. The product key may be also in the case of CDs, the installation discs are in or in any documentation you received. If you are not able to find, Jeeped of Belarc or Magical Jelly Bean suggestion will help.

• Cannot install Windows 7 "Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." to install Windows, restart the application.

  Original title: Installation of Windows 7.

  I tried to install Windows 7 (clean install from XP and reveived the following message is displayed:)

  Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation.  to install Windows, restart the application.

  I restarted my PC, anti anti-virus disabled (as advised) and still get the error message.

  According to the Upgrade Advisor Windows 7 my PC is compatible.

  Any ideas?

  If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Pavilion dv7: no internet after resetting the computer

  I don't know if I am posting this in the right advice.  I had to do a reset on my Pavilion dv7 laptop, kept my personal files, but now I can't access the Internet.  It shows that I am connected to my wireless network, but I can't go to all the websites that I go into my browser.  I went to Device Manager and went to network adapters.  I can say that the driver works fine and I don't see the warnings or errors on other drivers in Device Manager.  I am at a loss of what to so any help would be appreciated.

  Hey @Esoxdiver,

  I understand that you are experiencing you encounter some difficulties to connect your laptop in WiFi and I want to help.

  Here is a list of steps that solve common problems with wireless connectivity.

  First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
  Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Network power cycle:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.
  
  Turn off the power to the adapter:
  1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
  2. expand the network adapters.
  3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
  4. click on the power management tab.
  5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  6. click on OK.
  7 test cycle.
  
  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.
  
  Test an Ethernet connection:
  Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.
  
  Test another connection:
  Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.
  
  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the document.

  The above steps are presented by @Great-Christine-Tree

• I tried several times to set up an email account with Thunderbird, but the next time I start the computer and start Thunderbird, no account is displayed.

  I bought a new desktop PC with Win 8.1 and installed Firefox and Thunderbird.

As I was not happy with it, I deleted the server of incoming POP3 mail (and lost the e-mails received, of course...) and retried a manual installation. In doing so, I got an e-mail account IMAP incoming more two outgoing SMTP server (comparing them, I also understand the configuration error that I had done the first time). I then deleted the manual as SMTP server the automatically the installation server worked correctly.
  In this context, accepting them and sending E-mail worked OK. However, the next time I started the computer, the e-mail account disappeared and Thunderbird was asked to set up a new account again. I have successfully set up manually once more, but the same problem resurfaced at the next startup, the e-mail account was gone...!
