  Hi @pritamkabiraj_1,.

  Thank you for your inquiry, I am happy to help you!

  I understand that your laptop came with Free back and that you have installed Windows 8 pro yesterday.  You cannot change your account picture, the background or the screen saver.  You can't customize your windows. Also, you cannot install the software of the Windows store.

  Can you download from the store Windows and install simply not?

  Have you activated your Windows 8, if not, you will need to do this first.

• Suddenly, Firefox keeps logging me when I left and try again even if I have haevn can't change settings

  I have no problems with the browser until today. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.7.5 using Firefox 19.0.2.

  Yesterday, I used PrivacyScan as I do usually once a week and today I logged in all of my regular sites. Then I ran MacScan as I always do. Suddenly, every time I leave Firefox and reopen it, I lose all my connections to the sites.

  I have no "Passwords to Remember sites" checked because I use 1Password. In private life, I have 'accept cookies' and 'Accept third-party cookies' checked.

  I ran PrivacyScan and MacScan many times in the past without problem and I didn't modify parameters, then it is a real conundrum.

  Is there a file cookies.sqlite?

  This is the only file that really matters.
  
  You can try to copy the cookies.sqlite.bak and rename the file cookies.sqlite.
  
  Don't forget to delete all the other files in cookies.sqlite (shm and wal files are temp files used by SQLite and should not be restored).

  I can enter the BIOS very well, I just can't change settings in the BIOS settings screens because it says that I must be in 'admin' mode I entered the BIOS by pressing the button "Access IBM" blue, F1 or F12 and I encounter the same problem without worrying. It was previously the laptop from my brother and he put a BIOS password that I know and he told me one of the F - keys you will get in admin mode, but he forgets that one.

  Thanks for any help.

• I can't change the read only files on my NAS unit.

  I have a promise SmartStore MS4300n Network Attached Storage system that I have used for more than two years. I can access it from my Windows Xp and my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. Yesterday, I tried to move some files from my Win 7 to the NAS and I find that I can't copy on it. I can move my Win 7 7 NAS files. When I look at the properties of the files on the NAS, they all are now READ ONLY. When I try to change it tells me I don't have permission. I am the only user and I am logged in as admin. Yet once it has started here yesterday.
  If I access the NAS since my XP I can copy data to the NAS even if properties files are READ only.

  The problem is clearly with WINDOWS 7, how to fix it, it work well before and I need to use this device to check my belongings.

  Thank you
  Dennis

  OK, looks like I fixed it. I found that even though I have my computer set up to run all updates automatically I checked windows update and found five that had not been installed. After that I ran the update now can I copy files to my SIN again.

  I change the settings of firefox and accidentally closed on the display tab, which displays the files, settings, and tools. I can't see how to reset it back to default where I can see those?

  You can hide the menu bar in Firefox 3.6 on Windows, on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
  Press in and hold the Alt key to display the menu bar.
  Go to "view > toolbars", right click on the menu bar, or press Alt + V T to select the toolbars to show or hide.

  Hi Fabrax,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Be you please perform a clean boot on your system to see if that helps to clarify the freezing issue that you are experiencing?

  Here are the steps on how to perform a clean boot on your system:

  First step: perform a clean boot

  1. sign your computer with an administrator account.

  2. click on start.

  3. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  4. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  5. in the general tab, click Selective startup, and then click to clear the check box load startup items.

  6. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

  * NOTE: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  7. click OK and then click on restart.

  Second step: enable half the services

  1. start the System Configuration utility. Refer to the steps above if you need to see how to do this.

  2. click on the Services tab and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.

  3 click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  4. click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 3: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In the second step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to sixth step. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: enable half of the startup items

  Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  Click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 5: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In the fourth step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to sixth step.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat the first stage and the second stage without selecting the skin all the box Microsoft services at every step.

  Step 6: resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: solve the problem

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start

  2. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  3. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  4. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  5. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Here is the KB article that came as follows:

  After running the clean boot please post back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem or not, so that we can help you if necessary. After you run the startup clean please try and change automatic updating settings again and see if you are still having the same problem. Robyn

• How can I change the locations of Windows Update to the default settings of Windows?

  Windows backup does not complete successfully, and I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Windows error procedures have not found the answer.  Solving the problems of files MS Fixit found that where Windows Update stores data has changed and that it should be repaired by changing places of WU to the default settings of Windows.  Please can someone explain how to do this?

  Hi Derek,.

  Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.

  You cannot perform backup and get error the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).

  The problem may occur if there is some disk errors hard or due to the interruption by third-party programs.

  What fixit have you tried?

  To check if the problem is due to hard drive errors or due to the interruption by third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:

  After each step, if the problem persists, go to the other.

  Method 1: Check the hard disk for errors

   

  See the site:

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Note:  When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.

   

  Method 2: Clean boot

   

  When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

  See the mentioned site:

  How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

  Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

   

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

   

   

• I can't change some settings in Windows Update

  My Windows 7 PC is part of a workgroup, not domain, but still I can't change some settings for Windows Update. I have the menu drop-down gray and set to download updates but let me choose whether to install them. I checked gpedit.msc > user configuration > administrative templates > windows components > windows update. All 3 setting there are not configured and irrelevant. How can I activate this setting?

  Please note that I have no problem receiving updates, but I just want to be able to change the settings, and also I don't have answers about the probability of my system compromised by any means.

  Thanks for you valuable feedback.

• I've updated to Lightroom cc and now I have problems with permissions... How do I rectify this? I followed the instructions online, but I can't change the preferences folder permission to read and write.

  Help, please! I updated Lightroom CC through the creative cloud and now lightroom will not organize the citing on 3 files permissions issues. I tried to follow the instructions to manually fix the issue but I can't change my permissions on required files. IM using an iMac with OS El Capitan.

  Salvation without flinching,

  Did you apply permissions to all items included for these files to Adobe?

  Apply permissions to all items in a folder or disk

  1. Select a folder or disk, and then choose file > read

  2. click on the lock icon to unlock, then enter an administrator name and password.

  3. click on the pop-up menu Action , then choose "apply to the included items.

  and you also have to give all the permissions to the Adobe User Library folder (~ / library) as defined by miguana in the initial post.
