Returning to Win 7 using the settings menu
I have an old machine with 10 Windows installed that I want to convert to Windows 7, so I can run some software open source (Hadoop etc) and use it as a training machine. I have MS Win 7 Ultimate license - but I don't see otherwise than to use the option "recovery" as described in a post on the MS community. It's a little scary - if you go to settings > Update & security > Recovery > reset this PC > Get Started, then it asks if you want everything clear, or, keep personal files.
It does not say right here that it will restore the original operating system which I believe has Win 7 (but may even have been something before - I don't remember). I ran thinking maybe I would see a choice of OS to come back, but it starts just the treatment as he was going to erase everything.
Question is: what happens to that > starting point. You will get some choice of OS to come back until your existing operating system image is deleted?
We spent the 30 days grace period?
If so the old windows folder has been deleted if it does not restore win - 7.
You will need to clean install if you did not bother to create a system image on a hard drive completely separated before the upgrade.
It is expected by M$, we must now jump through hoops to clean install.

Cannot access the settings menu in creative cloud app.
I recently received an automatic update to CC2015. Once it is installed, I see the CC app at first pitch up (before the update he reduced) with wheel constantly spinning. I tried several solutions I found online, including the removal of the content from the OOBE folder. After that, the creative application Cloud seemed to load and work as is should (I could update my applications), and there was no turning endless wheel.
However, I did not want it appears whenever I restart windows. I soon discovered that, when I try to open the settings menu, there is no response. No matter how much I click in the area of the gear icon bit, nothing happens. Ideas on how to proceed?

Can this be achieved using the Spry Menu?
Hello
I saw this model and I understand that this has been done in Flash; However, I was wondering if it could be done using the Spry Menu in Dreamweaver CS5. Here's my opinion on the matter. Use the Spry Menu to make the framework and then use jQuery to animate the text inside. I just want to know if it is possible, or should I just go ahead and try to build it in Flash. Thus, a total nube you will appreciate any help or a nudge in the right direction.
Here is the link:
http://static.livedemo00.template-help.com/wt_40709/#! / page_splashThis is not done using Flash. They used jQuery and Javascript written in addition to achieve.
Here is the script, they used: http://static.livedemo00.template-help.com/wt_40709/js/scripts.js
They used jQuery easing for transitions.

Actions - using the file menu command
I use Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7
I create an action that resize a scanned image and sets the mode, then I insert a command to save
When I run the action, I get the window SAVE but the file type is set to PSD
If I execute the action and just do orders manually, the file type appears as TIFF, which is what I want.
Question: Why is he coming PSD and is it possible to make it default to what I want?
Thanks - Mark
Instead of using the Insert menu item to save in tif, save a step
in the action to save a file as a tif file. That way if you want to save it dialog box
It seems failing in tif. Make sure that the enable dialog box if
you want to save it as dialog appears.

Hello
Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?
Method 1:
I suggest to start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem occurs. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode with networking and then you try to perform the clean boot to find what startup item or service is causing the problem.
Step 1: To restart in Mode safe mode with networking enabled:
(a) reboot your computer.
(b) when you see the logo of the manufacturer of the computer, press on and hold the F8 key.
(c) on the screen Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to Select Safe Mode with networkand press enter.
account d) log your computer with a user who has of administrator rights.Reference: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

Step 2: Perform the clean boot.
By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

I don't want any suggestions! I put the control via the Options of a lot of time for nothing, but it's always with a new session. Please can I stop it altogether!
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
Windows hides certain default file extensions.
Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer. -
When I open Firefox, it requires a loading time of pages. When I go into networking, activate "No. Proxy" to "Use system settings", and every time that I open it again, the system settings is back and slow page loading.

Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
