    Hello

    Thank you.

    This suggests a lot more things to load in normal mode.

    I use the tools from Piriform and Ccleaner may very well help, as would Dfraggler.

    Can I get a more adventurous and use Sysinternals, which has many proggies that you don't need, but overall is low and will not be a burden.  AND you can delete it when you are done with it.

    CCleaner can look for duplicates, clear the cache and trash, uninstall stuff and (accept the backup for the registry entries) store your registry database.

    Sysinternals; Autoruns and then load order and Pagedfrg are the primaries.

    If in doubt please ask.

    Hi there @Kwatra_ps

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I understand that you are looking for a way to transfer data from your old laptop to another. I'm happy to help you.

    Take a look at the following pages for some methods that you can try.

    How to transfer data between two hard drives - weecast.fr

    How to recover data from the hard drive to a laptop Dead - weecast.fr

    Assuming that your hard drive is readable, you must find a compatible external drive bay for your laptop hard drive. Remove the disc and install it in the Bay, then you can use it as an external drive and then copy data to it at your leisure.

    Another question, you will probably encounter is file permissions if the old drive is attached to another windows device. See the following, the same principles also apply to Windows XP.

  • I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

    Use of AL1511b laptop computer screen 5820 T-6401 in Italy. Simple adapter or converter needed? AC adapter / CC seems to be internal. Can I just attach an adapter at the end of the wall to the monitor cord to fit Italian DC connector configuration or do I need a converter between the end of the US AC 3 earth-pin male connector and the Italian DC Jack? Some external adapters have a switch to change from AC to DC and some are just automatic. What is the story here? Any help would be appreciated.

    The power adapter in your laptop will automatically convert between 110 V to 240 V automatically. You must just the adapter to connect it to the outlet in Italy. Your monitor should also automatically convert the voltage as well, you need just the adapter to connect it to a power outlet Italian.

    Hi NickManchisi

     

    1. for how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. what happens when you try to print?
    3. do you receive any error messages?

    Method 1 :
    Please refer to the below mentioned article and check if the given steps help.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308028


    Method 2:

    You can even perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time when you have not experienced the problem.

     

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

    Original title: windows 8.

    Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!

    My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?

    I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?

    If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.

    No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.

    The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
