Two versions of vista on my computer laptop processor double the an on the E: drive the second on the C: drive
When you turn on the computer, you get a boot menu and must choose which version of vista to use. I want to delete a single version, does anyone know how? I had to use a vista boot disk to fix another problem with him and it worked but left me with two versions of vista on my computer. Now, I want to remove the redundant version.
Hi Shanks23,
To change startup options in Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, use BCDEdit (BCDEdit.exe), a tool included in these versions of Windows. You may not use Bootcfg or NvrBoot to change boot options on Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, even if you can continue to use them to modify the options to start on earlier versions of Windows.
To use BCDEdit, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the computer.
Edit the start menu in Windows Vista and later versions
In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, new boot loader entries are not added to the boot menu automatically. You can place the boot loader entries in any order.
You can use the displayorder option to set the order in which Boot Manager displays the boot entries in a multiboot menu. The command has the following syntax:
bcdedit displayorder {ID} {identifier}...
The ID is the GUID of the boot entry or a reserved identifier, {Current}). Separate each ID with a space. Remember to include the curly braces ({}).
For example, to add boot DebugEntry entry to the start menu after the {current} entry, use the following command:
bcdedit displayorder {current} {49916baf-0e08-11db-9af4-000bdbd316a0}
You can also use the options /addlast and/addfirst/Remove to order and to remove items from the menu. For example, the following command adds the start-up input DebugEntry as the last item in the menu:
bcdedit displayorder {49916baf-0e08-11db-9af4-000bdbd316a0} /addlast
To verify that the display order is correct, use the following command:
bcdedit
When you type bcdedit without additional parameters, BCDEdit displays the entry of Boot Manager and boot loader entries in the order in which they appear in the menu.
For more information, please see the links below.

I have two versions of Firefox on my computer, and whenever I use Firefox, I continue to be asked to help Firefox in answering a question about the product.
Not sure I understand you. You want 2 versions of firefox running on your computer? Or it happened accidentally?
I uninstall firefox, make sure that both versions have disappeared and then install again. You will not lose your settings because the profile folder is not removed by default.

Original title: HDMI sound
I know that many have had problems, but I did not mine specifically. My HDMI connection was working fine with my laptop HP and m HD tv. I didn't use it for a while, now it is just the video, no audio on the TV. My reading shows the HDMI as a default device, but the sound is yet to come of the computer laptop, even when the volume is turned off on it. Ive read all the reviews and updates of pilot who was old. I don't know what else to do!

Steven Lash change - wanted to my computer laptop processor
Hello world
My name is Steven Lash, I have Dell Inspiron 1525 Core 2 duo laptop in my collection. Now, I wanted to upgrade my processor core 2 duo for last. Is it possible I can changed my computer laptop processor or not. This what should I do. Really appreciated any suggestion.
Thank you
Steven Lash
It is possible to replace the CPU in this model, but only to a Core 2 - nothing more recent work. You probably won't win a lot of speed, do not really worth upgrading. If you still want to do the upgrade, the fastest CPU that will work on the Intel T9500, probably still available used (but not nine years).

computer laptop 17-e020us: update 17-e020us HD 4000 driver?
Y at - it was a updated driver for a computer laptop 17-e020us? The current driver is a driver Inel HD Graphics 4000 dated 06/03/2013 version 9.18.10.3055. There are newer drivers on the Intel site, but when I try to install that he says: they are not compatible.

Dell computer laptop starts but the screen does not light
Hello
I have a laptop Dell older (studio 1558) and when I used it the other day, 'static' filled monitor image and then the screen went completely black. Now when I turn it on, it seems that the computer starts well but the screen is black.
Get yourself an external monitor, easy solution, right? -bad. Unfortunately when I plugged my laptop in a separate monitor, the monitor (which works fine) showed no images.
Still, I had this laptop for a few years. I see about being 'easy' opening and closing of the laptop. This has been the case in recent years, however, so I don't know if something has finally given...
I'm not the best computer savvy so sorry if I was not more detailed... any ideas, what is wrong and how do I fix? I rather would not somewhere that make me fixed.
You will probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the laptop and mention the version of Windows, too. (This is the forum office.)
