  BuggyG,
  I saw that error and even if it says access denied it will actually save your changes.  After you disable all move forward and apply then restart and see if it kept the changes.  If it's not then I hope that you are able to borrow a disc it would in time look for resettlement.

• System Restore to fix the problem with new version Download Firefox addon

  I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and many of my programs (addons) were not compatible, so Firefox off them.  I need this back. Some have been paid, as a form of Robo, who has all my passwords to programs.   Can I do a system restore?  If I do this yesterday, I won't lose anything, since it was the first thing I did as I am connected to my computer, now, right?  I don't want to start a series of new problems by doing a system restore, if it doesn't come back all these the way they were before I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.  In the future, when I get a notice of dowload new versions of Firefox, is there a way to predict that something like that will happen?  Should I just avoid the newer versions?    I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

  System Restore will not solve the problem.

  See if anything here helps: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Add-ons%20are%20disabled%20after%20updating%20Firefox

  If all else fails, it contains a link to reinstall Firefox 3.6.

• Error: "the system restore is disabled by group policy" when he tried to use the system restore

  Original title: group policy

  When I try to use the system restore, I get "system restore is disabled by group policy. How can I fix this problem?

  Hi bluelilly,

  1. is your computer connected to a domain?
  2. don't you make changes before the show?

  This occurs if the Configuration policy to disable is enabled on your system, either by using Group Policy or through the registry editor. For stand-alone systems Windows Vista, follow these steps:
  Step 1: Using the Group Policy Editor. If your edition of Windows Vista includes the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) snap-in, follow these steps:
  a. Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER.
  b. go to the following branch: Computer Configuration | Administrative templates | System | System restore
  c. double click on disable the Configuration and set it to not configured.
  Note: If the above setting is already set to not configured, set it to "Enabled" and click on apply. Return back the setting to not configured, then click on apply, OK.
  d. Quit Group Policy Editor.
  e. restart the computer and check the difference.

  Step 2: Using the registry editor
  a. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
  b. navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-policies-Microsoft-Windows NT------SystemRestore
  (c) in the right pane, delete the value named DisableConfig.
  d. Quit Registry Editor.
  e. restart the computer and check the difference.

  Very important: Modifying the registry incorrectly will cause serious damage to the computer. Back up the registry until you make changes.
  See Registry backup

  If your computer is connected to a domain, then we recommend that you post your query toTechnet Forums Windows Vista to improve the assistance.

• How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp?

  How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp? They were installed when I tried to reload xp before and there is always a sp1 on the pc version now.

  This CD should work and it should be bootable.  It seems that if you always boot from the hard drive and then you look at the content of the CD-ROM in Windows Explorer.

  If the BIOS is set to boot from the CD, you should not get a menu asking which device to boot from.  At most, you will get something like "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM."

  You have an another bootable CD that you know works or do you have another computer you can try this CD to see if it works correctly?

• Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

  When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

  «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

  There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

  You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

  But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

  If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

  Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

  You can either make the step remove first:

  delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

  Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

  Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

  1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

  2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

  3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

  I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

  If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

  If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

• Cannot set new points or points

  Just installed the first Elements 9.  These controls are missing in my preview pane, in the timeline. I have an inpoint and outpoint 1 by sequence cannot add new ones. I also tried to set up keyboard shortcuts for these functions, no effect. What can I do?

  Welcome to the forum.

  While PrE 9 could make additions to the process, normally it would have Dbl-Click on the item in the project Panel to open it in the Source monitor. There, they can set the Points of In & Out, as is desired. On a Clip, can be defined in and out of different Points and use these Instances of this "master Clip", each with different in and out Points.

  Once the Points In & Out put in the Source monitor, just drag this Clip adjusted to the timeline.

  Hope that helps and good luck,

• HP Pavilion running Vista system crashes then it said 'cannot find Windows.

  I have a HP Pavilion otherwise very satisfied with Vista and installed Service Pack 2. Lately, unfortunately, the machine often accidents / crashes. Sometimes, the problem is resolved after you restart Windows. But more often, when I try to reboot normally, or via Ctrl/AltDel or removal of complete power, an error message appears back, indicating "cannot find Windows. I think I have a problem of HARD drive and/or a little defective internal power connections. But since I still have a lot of free space on the HARD disk, I prefer not to scrap it. However, if it 's the drive itself that has a problem, I would consider that replace it with a new one. Anyone out there with some thoughts on this?
