System Restore doesn't let me when I first installed xp. How can I make a point of initial system check?
I have not installed xp mysrelf.
This is normal. System restore points are purged after 90 days. System Restore also has a feature of space management of automatic restore point that purge older restore points to make room for the new, while allowing the user to recover from the recent destructive changes. By default, up to a maximum of 12% of the disk hard is allocated for restore points, even if it must be manually reconfigured to 1 GB.
In any case it is generally not a good idea to restore to a time more than a week or two ago, because too many events that are not controlled by the system restore will be arrived in the meantime.
In addition, the restore points are chained together, so that you cannot save a former and delete the most recent. This will break the whole system restore function and require you to serve all points and start over.
For more information about system restore, see http://bertk.mvps.org/index.html

When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK. Help
I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016. I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.
The steps that worked for me:
(1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed
(2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair
(3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions
(4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])
(5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)
(6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing
(7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com
I hope it works for you!

my audio syestem of beats went when I choose windows 8, how can I return it with the full version? I have hp pavilion dv4 5110tx
Hello
Try the following.
Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59501-60000/sp59882.exe
One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers. Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.
Then, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
After reinstalling, restart the laptop and let Windows load completely. Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. When this has completed, restart the computer again before checking if the Beats Audio is now listed in the windows control panel.
Kind regards

Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order? I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista. The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.
It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate). Can anyone help? I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).
Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened. There is no control for this function. Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse). This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer. I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately). But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created. I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added. Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).
Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a. It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change. I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it. I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).
I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that. I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.
Good luck!

Hi jsteveh,
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.
I understand that the mailbox of your Mac becomes offline at random times. I suggest the mail connection doctor to see if there is any problem with your computer to communicate with the mail running server.
Take care.
