Restore the previous display settings

I am new to Windows 8 and borrowed the laptop from a friend. I changed the theme several times and several colors on the display in Control Panel. Now, it is completely messed up and you can hardly even see what to click on.  I want to get back to the way it was before I borrowed it a few days ago. If it is running Windows 7, I would just restore to yesterday's date. I don't want to take any chance of losing one of its files, etc.. Can someone please?

You can run the restoration of the system exactly as you did in 7, it still works 100% identically the same way.

Or you could open the window customize settings and choose a default theme setting.

  • Home page search is not working / not Possible to restore the previous Session

    After the last update (version 29), the home page of default Firefox search bar has been completely non-functional. If I hit enter or press search, nothing happens. Another (possibly related) problem is that the button 'Restore previous Session' is never present. I can also restore the previous session by clicking on the option of history (it is always grayed out).

    When you look to the top How to start safe mode, I discovered how to reset Firefox to its default value of the plant. I did it and Voila! Problem solved.

  • How to stop Firefox 18 to restore the previous Session after a Crash

    Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7

    When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I don't want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How can I stop Firefox restore the previous session after an accident?

    Please note:
    1 - my homepage is set to 'white page '.
    2. I configured Firefox does NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields, and passwords.
    3 - even in Safe Mode (with all disabled add-ons), Firefox ALWAYS restores the previous session after a crash.

    Thanks a lot for your help. I hope that my vote immerses you in the category "TOP 9".

  • restore the default permission settings in vista

    How to restore the default permission settings in Vista

    I had problems sharing files and went to different media pages, mainly integrated ones. I changed the user permissions and tried to add the user on the Security tab, but I must have done something wrong. 128-bit encryption seems to be lost. Maybe it's that everything that triggers this file was transformed into a "read only" file (which has happened to another file, I've tried to share). Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello

    To reset security settings back to default, take a look at the following article:

    • Click the ball to Start .
    • Under Search, type cmdand press ENTER.
    • Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

  • Effects of tools: restore the predefined default settings

    All of the presets for Tools retain the last setting as far as I can see... and 'restore the predefined default settings' has no effect on the predefined settings.

    Then, what is the function of the option 'restore the preset default settings' in the menu effects?

    It restores what?

    Thank you.

    When you look at the drop-down list of the effects for the adjustment brush, you will notice that there is a top section and a lower section to this list, separated by a dividing line. You will notice that if you have one of these below items selected, two new commands appear at the bottom of the list with "Save current settings as a new Preset" and "restore the default Presets. This is because the lower part is the actual presets. Presets can be deleted and renamed. These options are not available for the top of the list.

    The upper part is not presets, that's why they keep last settings used. So what is this upper part? Well, they solo the sliders. This means that the cursor for the effect selected can be changed. Note that this top list is an exact one-to-one match for each of the sliders in the adjustment (except the sliders that control the brush itself) brush. Let's take a glance at one of these sliders for an example: the exhibition. It's starts with the default value of 1.0, but if you change it while this effect is selected, it will be recalled that value and it option 'restore the predefined default settings' has no effect. Then, you change the exposure to +.5 and if leave you and return to this effect, the value is preserved. But if you selected as an effect of exposure and change the slider contrast, the selection of the drop-down effect will immediately change Custom. If you change the exposure, the contrast slider will be cancelled. It is the actual use of the upper part of the list of the drop-down list of effects, is put to zero all the other sliders except one selected (solo effect).

  • after update to adobe flash and restart firefox for mac, as requested, cannot restore the previous session

    using macbook pro with os 10.7.5, was recommended to update adobe flash in firefox (22.0). did, which required closing and restarting firefox during the flash update. When you're done, firefox will automatically open to the adobe flash window and restore previous session was grayed out. can not know how to find and restore the tabs that I had used. responses and related issues is not a solution. my settings are all normal and do not seem to report any with the problem. on the contrary, it seems to be the closing and reopening of firefox associated with the flash update that nuked all memory of my last session. is there a solution?

    I found my own solution to my problem! first of all, don't QUIT FIREFOX - to ensure this unwanted session does not become "last session". Instead, open a new window (command-N). in my case, he opened my usual default URL and, while in this window (whether before or after the closing of the first window browser that opened automatically after the update of adobe flash), the option 'restore previous session' in the menu historical reappeared! clicked on it and, therefore, the things everything worked normally.

  • How to restore the previous tabs while keeping a blank home page?

    Firefox updated itself randomly today and some settings changed. I always restore the tabs that I've used, and whenever I open a new tab it would show a blank page. I don't know how I did it, but now I still have the options "show my windows and tabs from last time" or "show a blank page. So now when I open a new tab, it shows me little pictures of Web sites I visit frequently, but I don't want that.

  • Firefox 34 does not restore the previous when tabs restart

    Hello

    After that I updated to 34.0 FF, whenever I restart my FF, it does not restore the Forelegs. Instead, he opened all my home pages.

    I went to look in the history and all the following features are grayed out: tabs to other devices; Restore previous Session; Recently closed tabs and windows recently closed.

    I went to my profile folder and found the "sessionstore-backups" folder and in it, there are two files: recovery.bak and recovery.js, both showed the latest date and time. And there is no file "sessionstore" anywhere in the profile folder.

    My question is: why are all the options under history is grayed out? I used the "Undo Close Tab" modules, but it does not work. When I click on the shortcut menu, nothing happens.

    I searched on this forum about this issue, but none of the solutions worked for me.

    Suggestions or comments are much appreciated. Thank you.

    OK, here's my latest:

    I created a new profile, copy ALL the folders and files from my old profile into it. So I delete all the files except the last one pref.js. Start FF with the new profile, guess what, everything is back to what is supposed to be.

    1 restore previous Session and recently closed tabs both work now on the history tab.
    2. I can connect to all my accounts from Chase, without using IE Tab.
    3 file and release working again.

    So, it seems that all the old files pref.js were the culprits here.

    Thanks to FredMcD and cor - el for all of your kind cooperation.

  • How to restore the previous download UI Toolbox in FF26?

    Updated to FF26 earlier today. Earlier, I noticed that the Download Manager is different, it is rather the new version which is available for some time. I've been using the older Toolbox that was available in previous versions through everything: configuration and activation of the option of the Toolbox. This option is always checked as true, but the Toolbox is the same (most recent version).

    How can I go back to the older download Toolbox without restoring a previous version?

    Related bugs:
