The product key on the money side of my laptop is striped, and I can't distinguish between two numbers. Help, please.
Hello. I would like to reinstall Windows Vista on my laptop. Previously, I formatted the HARD drive to install another OS. But now, I would like to go back to Windows. The problem is that two of the 25 numbers on the sticker of the product keys have become illegible due to wear. I know I could install Vista and try different numbers to see if I understand correctly, but there could be many combinations. And with each installation OS taking over 45 minutes, this could be a long process. Is there something I can do? I have the other 23 numbers!
Thank you
David Wren
Hello
All you can do now is to ask the manufacturer of the laptop to send you a set of recovery disc for your model computer reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.
Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.
And also how to access the recovery Partition.
None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.
For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.
To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:
Menu help > about Firefox
To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/
I know it's tedious, but don't let slip too long or you might get up to have to rebuild everything (the curse of your lack of backups, and if you do regular backups).

Hello:
IE 6 on HP laptop/XP Media Edition.
'Search' on the left side of IE is absent, although 'Search' in the address bar is OK active and functional.
The opening of 'Research' by clicking on 'Search' icon at the top of IE, 'Google' popping up and saying "upgrade to IE 8 optimization for Google."
I love 'bing' and trying to customalize to access the "categories". Even several trials a day, 'Search' on the left side of IE not to come and further 'Google' popping up instead. So, I can't the 'research' by using the 'search' on the left side of the IE.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Have you considered upgrading to IE8? IE6 is considered to be a very precarious today browser. IE8 is better and faster and more secure.
Have you looked at alternatives (Firefox, Chrome, etc.)?

I use LR on a mac. By developing her photographs, the sliders on the right side - exposure, contrast, shading has disappeared and I am not able to bring them back. That I switch to get them back?
Control-click on one of the other section in the develop Panel headers (curve tone, Split Toning, retail etc.). This opens a menu that allow you to re - select this option to display the base Panel you've lost.

Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

I work on a laptop running XP and I can't find how to adjust the brightness of the screen
original title: screen brightnessI work on a laptop running XP and I can't find how to adjust the brightness of the screen. He is not bright enough for the environment, in that I am currently working.Any help?Look in the BIOS (nothing to do with the operating system) and change first there - so it's also brilliant to (on battery vs. connected to power - these settings, you determine thus.)
In Windows - you should be able to control the brightness * if * you have everything installed the appropriate drivers for your laptop * and * they chose to give you these controls (the true drivers/software from the video card manufacturer is usually done).
Also - if the brightness is not sufficient because of the light of the Sun - then by adjusting it can't helped. Not many mobile consumers have a screen that can be read in the light of the Sun. There are laptops with special screens for this type of environment. Crank your brightness might help - but if you do not have an anti-glare screen, etc...
