We are running XP and have 3 different user desktop accounts. We are very excited about the features of Firefox4, but one user a lot less comfortable with changes and does not want to lose the comfort of navigation in 3 until it had a chance to get used to using 4. May take a while...
Is it possible to download Firefox 4, perhaps to a new location. Or a new user account. And use that as a "teaching tool" while maintaining the 3?
Or can we move on 4, re-download a version 3 and import previous bookmarks for this user to new 3 download, until we him uncomfortable.
The answer is probably not. But if there is a creative way to do that, without another available computer, that would be great. Otherwise, improve us and deal with the frustration and whining here... 4 is too good to pass up.
Ideas?
LindaWhen you install Firefox 4, choose the custom installation option and change the install location of Firefox. You'll then 2 versions of Firefox are installed.
As you have different user accounts, each user will have its own Firefox profile (location where are stored bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You should not pass between the different versions of Firefox with the same user profile. For those who want to use Firefox 4, make sure that you use a Firefox shortcut that opens Firefox 4, even for one who wants to stay with Firefox 3, just keep their shortened origin of Firefox and it should open the old version.

CS6 inDesign crashing on the opening, works on the different user account, help?
Hello!
I use InDesign everyday, had my Macbook since September and have had no problems with the opening of the program at all until about 2 weeks ago. It appears with the graphics of opening with all the license information, and 5 seconds later, a window opens saying "InDesign quit unexpectedly", as well as loads of text on the threads, frames and the rest. (A copy of the text is available to InDesign Crash Info - Pastebin.com , in case where anyone can somehow choose something from that!)
I tried to reset all my preferences and reinstall all of the CS6. I also had a problem with the fonts in the past, so I have deleted all my additional fonts and just now the default fonts library. The only way I could make it work is by setting up a different user account, and now it opens properly, but only when using this account. It's just a pain the * having to keep switching between user accounts all the time! I didn't know if there would be a quick solution to this, rather than having to transfer all my files, preferences etc. from one account to another and basically a new account from scratch.
Any help would be great appreciated.
Thank you
According to the accident report, you must always update InDesign to the latest patch (8.0.2 for a perpetual license, 8.1 for the subscription).
If that alone is not enough, delete or rename the files of two preference from your old account (see replace your preferences for where to find them) and copy the same folders on the new account.

UAC is not running on the machine. The user account with the problem and that to which it points now have administrator privileges. Windows Update is active. The 2 latest updates prior to the issuance have been updated to Windows defender.
How to restore this user account to the way it was?
Hey Super,
It is possible that the location of each of the user data folder are changed to the other user account.
First check if the user account folders do not exist in the C:\drive\users and then continue with the steps below.
You will need to each user account folder redirected to its original location and check if it works.
1 right click on the folder that you want to restore to its original location, and then click Properties.
2. click on the location tab, click restore default, and then click OK.You will need to do this for each individual user account folder that points to the other user account folders.

How to: same excel file, same computer, different user accounts.
I'm trying to access a single Excel file from the accounts of different users on the same computer. I tried to share the Excel file, no luck. I studied with a group residential, but which seems to be for different computers on a network home. It comes from the same computer, the same Excel file with multiple user access. Help
Thanks for your help. I tried to implement your suggestion, and most of the time, it worked.
I followed the path OS (C> users > Public > Public Documents and was able to copy the document it.)
I have it pinned to the taskbar and managed to get it back and make & save changes.
When I copied it initially the path mentioned previously it had an identical copy in the following path: > libraries > Documents > Public Documents.
Unfortunately, when I used the button "Save" it would save the file to the location of a second, but the pinned file would go to the original OS (C... way, then recover the original unedited version.) It took me a while to understand this.
If I do something wrong and you have any other advice, I'd appreciate it. But, for now, this issue has been resolved and I will so indicate.
Thank you once again

Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Had an individual with the user ID account [email protected] (example)
Converted to an account of the team because we need now of 2 users.
Team has always has [email protected] as admin ID
Under admin, sent guest 2 users. One was the person who initially used under [email protected], but he sent a new email account for them.
When he clicks the "ACCEPT INVITE" in the e-mail, he is prompted for credentials - auto the new adobe ID with the new email (which is good) but wants a password (which is bad because it has not yet been established).
Eventual goal is to have an admin account Adobe ID [email protected] 2 user accounts and [email protected] and [email protected]
It turns out that the e-mail address is already existed as an Adobe ID old back when he tried once a free trial. We have all understood, thank you!
