• Pro Clean install XP with SP3 but the registry indicates SP4?

  I did a clean install with the i386 out of my original image. It came with SP3 integrated. Trying to install the drivers, I noticed registry service pack back to SP4 not SP3, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4. I have not found any performance issues, but is that what I should be concerned with, and if so, how could remedy?

• XP Home Edition, SP3. Clean install. Printer driver has not been installed. Operation could not be performed.

  I searched this problem and what I read it is that it is either due to a failed attempt to install a driver or a driver designed for an earlier version of Windows.

• I inadvertanly did a clean install of W7 without saving the existing bookmarks

  I forgot to mark a backup of bookmarks for a USB before you do a clean install of W7 to my computer.
  There is a "Windowsold" folder that has put the facility on drive C. is possible to recover bookmarks?

  If you C:\Windows.old, you can be lucky.

  First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then click in:

  Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

  A little luck?

  Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

• Can I save passwords saved just like I want to do a clean install of my MAC?

  I want to do a clean install on my MacBook, but I have a lot of information stored on Firefox, such as accounts and passwords, bookmarks, etc. You is a way to backup all this or I write tham on a paper?

  Hi daku323,

  You should take a look at backup and restore Firefox profiles information. This will give you all the information you need to get a full backup of your personal settings.

  Good luck with the pure install!

• After a fresh install of XP SP3, does not work my previously installed programs. What should do?

  Had a problem when the power is gone, just as I have to boot my system. It resulted in a corrupted system file. Tried to fix it by using the original installation of Windows XP SP3 CD, but arrived at a position where Windows wanted my password but then refused to recognize. Repeated the process twice more just to be sure, and then made a new installation instead. Well it worked for me get into Windows, but now none of my previously installed programs want to run. Well, so far I tried Office 2010, work, Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 and Adobe Reader without success. None of these or any other program on the machine come in the list of all programs and I am betting that goes into the Windows Explorer, select all the executable files of installed programs and click on run will fail for them the same as it has for the ones I've tried so far. Is there a solution that will enable Windows to recognize programs that were already installed when I ran the new XP installation?

  I am at a loss to explain how, if you were doing a re-install of XP destructor, the Program Files folder is intact. Unless maybe you left in the current file system intact before beginning installation (I've never tried this option), but even in this case, it would be wise to start with a folder Program Files new and clean install.

  Assuming that all your data is backed up and verified OK as saved, re-setup (with format) could be your best option. You could make a rod for your own back continuous you, at this time.

• Backups Time Machine missing after model clean install

  For a Mac using Time Machine to back up, is there a way to clean install OS X for a new internal SSD and keeps backups Time Machine historical which have been made using the previous internal SSD?  While as I use it to back up the new internal SSD TM, TM will show the backup history of both the previous internal SSD and the new (up to the capacity of the disc from the TimeCapsule).

  MacBookPro8, 2 I used Time Machine on a time Capsule TB 3 towards the rear for 2 years. No problems and shows 2.24 available 3 TB.

  Last night I did a clean model 10.11.5 install a new SSD, and a transfer application, the user accounts Migration Wizard, etc. Since the previous flash SSD disk internal (format / installed the new SSD, attached to the internal SSD previous via USB flash disk, then started in Recovery Mode to clean the installation model to the new internal SSD and when prompted did the previous internal SSD Migration Assistant).

  Everything no problem above went very well. But now when I "TimeMachine enter", I see that the most recent backup made (before the clean install).  The right navigation (which goes in reverse chronological order of the lower part of the screen to the top) seems to show the date on which the previous backups have been identified.  But if I click on a date, TM Finder main window does not scroll from that date. The top / arrow down buttons to the right of the main window of Finder TM also do not respond to clicks.

  So far as I can tell, I've lost all TM backups except the most recent. I have all saved data elsewhere outside time Capsule, so between that and the 1 backup, I can see in TM I have not lost anything.

  If I had done the Migration Wizard from the TimeCapsule rather than the previous internal SSD flash drive, would that have kept all historical TM backups?

  Thanks for any idea

  Time Machine, please press the shift-command-C key combination. The windshield will show the mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and search for files to restore.

  If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user library folder, first select a snapshot, and then press shift-command-G. A go to the folder dialog box opens. In this document, you enter the path to the folder. The dialog box will help you by automatically filling parts of the path when you start typing.

  The path starts with the slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts is separated by slashes.

  The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a '2', and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right arrow key to access the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next game.

  Next is the volume name (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you assigned a different name.) Start typing, then jump to the end and enter a slash.

  The next part is 'Users', followed by a slash.

  Then is your short user name. It is also the name of your home folder, which is represented by an icon of the House in the sidebar of a Finder window.

  Finally, enter "Library", and then press return. You should now be in the library folder. From there, you can move like in the Finder. You can also select another snapshot of the same folder.

• After a clean install, Yosemite Mail crashes at launch

  I have re-installed Yosemite and upgrade 10.10.5 three days ago. Yesterday, I recreated 11 non-iCloud email accounts. I launched Mail and proceeded to uncheck the option "automatically detect and maintain the parameters" and to replace the port numbers incoming and outgoing according to the instructions of the ISP, I consulted in order to avoid the main Contacts and issues of mail in the course of the two months since my original Yosemite clean install - issues that have worsened to the point where I was advised in these forums to re - install. If I had known everything uncheck this option, perhaps none of these problems would be developed?

  After unchecking the option and change the port numbers for the incoming server and outgoing 11 IMAP accounts, I took all online accounts. Mail seems to be stable. I quit Mail and relaunched it five minutes later, just to be sure. He froze immediately on launch; There is not enough time to click on anything before spinning beachball appears and never goes away. I checked the Sys Prefs/Internet accounts: no problem.

  Here are the logs from Console for today attempted launch of Mail:

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

• Re: Satellite L650/0E8 - clean install with Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello.

  I recently bought a [Toshiba L650/0E8 laptop | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l650/psk1ja-0e8017] and accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

  I saved an image of "recovery" from my computer in 4 DVD-R using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I need to use Adobe Master Collection CS5, but this requires the 64-bit edition to use first Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5. I've put together by reading some articles on the net that I have to do a 'clean' install, but as I've always had a technician set up my computer and have never used a Toshiba laptop before, I'm unaware on how to backup all my files, programs, drivers, etc. before reinstall Windows 7 to a 64-bit version.

  -What do these recovery DVD? Is there anywhere I can download the software/drivers for the 64-bit version Toshiba? I apologize if these questions sound really stupid. Honestly, I'm rather confused as to what to do.

  Hey,.

  First of all I have to say it s even though you created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual. :)
  Some other users here forget it because they don t read their user's manual.

  Anyway, with this record, you can restore the pre-installed Windows version (Windows 7 64 bit) with all the drivers and tools. That means you n t need additional drivers and Toshiba, all tools will be installed automatically. You get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

  But if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk it will wipe the entire HARD drive, then you will need to make a backup of all your important files that you should always after installing Windows.
  This is why I would recommend an external HARD drive. They offer a lot of space to save all your data and with some models, you also backup software, but you can also use the built-in Windows backup tool, it s also nice and works well.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! ;)

• Windows 7 on Pavilion a6500f - Clean install freezes

  I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on the Pavilion a6500f.

  I want to install on a newly formatted drive partition.

  Everything goes well until the end, when the installer says it finishes the installation.

  Then the computer hangs / crashes.  No movement on the screen, no response from the mouse, etc.

  I guess this is a problem with the video or audio driver, etc, but don't know how.

  NVIDIA has WIN 7 drivers on their site, but how would I integrate/slipstream them in the installation?

  I just wanted to add: it's the 64 bit version of WINDOWS 7 Pro, final version paid version.

  I noticed that someone else had exact same machine and problem installing using the RC version in June 2009 with no resolution.

  Well, the installation problem is solved, but it was a struggle.

  What I did to disable integrated video in F10 Setup and set it to PCI.

  Then I installed an OLD (c 1999) Creative PCI video card that I found in the basement in the PCI slot.

  Windows 7 installation is complete and then I did install all MS Windows updates, including the 2 or 3 elements of pilot which was to monitor Samsung.

  Then removed the PCI card and put configuration CMOS integrated onboard graphics subsystem.

  So far so good, everything is clean in the Device Manager, and the dual boot with XP SP3 works.

  None of this problem stated in the MS. compatibility tool

  Maybe if I had done the upgrade instead of custom there was no video problem (drivers?).

  We'll see what happens as more software is installed.

  Thanks for the tips.

• After a clean install can I still get updates

  I came to the conclusion that I have to do a clean install and the company for the model mark I finally sent the operating system after 4 years now that I have (xp media center) came with sp2... but some how the jerk who took an illegal copy of xp pro also had put sp3 here... so when I do this may reinstall the sp3 from the ms site or I have to keep sp2 here until I can get a new copy of windows?

  And can I still get all the updates I've missed for the years spent 1 1/2?

  Hello

  Im having problem installing windows update after clean install (although it happned to me after GHOST as well)
  On my new computer, I have 2 updates of isnatll 1:

  When I try to install them by using "Windows Update" or "Microsoft update" I get the following error code: Error Code: 0 x 80246002

  someone meet souch problem?
  When google for a solution based on this error code I found nothing.

  Thank you very much for your help,
  see you soon

  What were the problems you saw that you thought a "clean install" of Windows XP could solve?

  This "clean install" included formatting the HARD drive?

  The "clean install" left you with WinXP WinXP SP1, WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3 gold (no Service Pack)?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a test free version comes preinstalled when you buy it and that would have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you did the clean install)?
