  Hello

  My family bought mobile workstation Precision M4600 with Next Business Day Support guarantee expire in 2 years and more. HE bought about 9 months of work and there are very very slow, so I decided to reinstall Win7 and I want to do a CLEAN INSTALLATION, however, he has not discs, not even bluish sticker with serial number OEM, just back to the partition.

  How is question, possible to set request OEM or OEM WIn7 version with serial number, or something similar? I will, anyway to reinstall Win7 Microsoft version, but need same OEM serial for this. I have nothing against Dell support programs, but his laptop computer is slower than my XPS GEN3, which is 8.5 years.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite L550 PSLW8A can only get OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to 64-bit?

  Hi all

  I am writing from Australia.

  Two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Toshiba ([http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq]) with the following characteristics:

  Model: Satellite L550
  Reference number: PSLW8A-01101F
  BIOS: V1.60
  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB
  HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
  OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (OEM preinstalled)

  My question:
  How can I switch to Win7 Pro * 32 - bit * for Win7 Pro * 64 - bit *?

  If I use the recovery disk (the hidden recovery partition) utility to do a clean reinstallation of Win7 Pro, I will give the choice during the process of resettlement of the installation either the 32-bit version or 64-bit?

  Or I have + not + get the choice at all and simply be limited to the OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit that came pre-installed version?

  All advice or information about how to pass OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to Win7 Pro 64-bit would be appreciated.

  Nick

  Hello

  AFAIK almost all new laptops are available with 32 and 64-bit OS and two recovery images are saved on the HARD drive.
  When you start installation HARD drive you should see the option to choose which version must be installed.

  Simply start the installation of HARD drive and you will see what menu you will see at the beginning. Not be afraid to do so. Nothing will happen.
  Real OS installation starts two steps later. If you can not damage preinstalled OS.

• Upgrade Windows 7 Pro version no middleman to middleman

  Of all the research I've done and the lack of results, that I found, I was led to believe that it is impossible to upgrade a no intermediate version to an intermediate version. I managed to install a checked build / debugging of Win7 Pro and ignore constant validation errors the OS up for awhile now. Earlier, I know it's because I checked / debug OS. I tried the every time Windows upgrade that says "upgrade key you have entered is for an edition of windows that does not work with windows anytime" when I try to upgrade the operating system staged this way. When I try to do the upgrade on the spot, the installer launches "can not upgrade an no intermediate version to an intermediate version. At this point, I have a fairly large amount of files that I need to move in order to safeguard the so I would not do a clean install, unless absolutely necessary. If anyone has a way to go from a no intermediate to an operating system staged in a way that would preserve staff and program files, I'm sure that I wouldn't be the only one who would find that knowledge useful :).

  Unfortunately, you will need to do a custom installation.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• should I remove imovie9 before upgrading to the latest version

  I need to upgrade to the latest version of iMovie as 9 does not respond with El Capitan.

  I completely remove 9B before doing this?

  Hello

  No, you don't need to delete iM9 before moving on to iMovie 10.1.2 (latest version).   Both versions may remain on your computer.   iM10.1.2 allows you to update your projects iM9 and events so that they will play on the new version.   So that's why you would leave iM9 on your computer, so that you can make the update.

  Best,

• upgrade to a different version

  I replaced my Iphone 5s (damaged, does not start) with a new 6-plus. Your last backup on 5s has IOS version 9.2.1 and it will not restore because the 6 - more starts on IOS version 9.0, but the only option of update is 9.3.4. Can I update to 9.2.1 somehow to restore the backup and then upgrade to 9.3.4?

  Matt

  You will need to upgrade to the latest version of iOS (9.3.4 currently) and then restore. It will render correctly from an earlier version. See below for more details: restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup when a later version of the iOS is required - Apple Support

• When I upgraded to the latest version of Thunderbird, I find that I can not move messages from one folder to another, or it literally takes hours to do.

  When I drag messages in the Inbox to another folder for archiving, they do not move. This problem occurred only since I've upgraded to the latest version of Thunderbird.

• Upgrade to a recent version of Thunderbird, I can't filter my search by date more.

  Upgrade to a recent version of Thunderbird, I can't filter my search by date more. The date format lost slashes (' 31/12/2014'-> '31122014') and date filtering doesn't work anymore, the filter seems to be non-existent.
  I right click on the Inbox folder and the search window opens as an attachment. No date filter whatsoever is applied.
  It is used properly before work.
  I also checked the settings/options of date format, but they seem to be properly defined exactly as before (according to the Italian standard DD/MM/YYYY).
  We run windows 7 and the Italian localization of tuberculosis, the most recent version.
  It's the same thing to my colleagues (we use Thunderbird in our office), and I checked that this change took place only who has auto-update function on. Once you update, you lose the ability to search by date criteria.
  Hope you can have a few clues about this problem, this proves to be quite annoying because it takes a lot of previous messages in search by date.
  Thanks in advance,
  Walter

  You will open everything: config and check that mailnews.search_date_format has.
  Mine is the default = 0 and that gives 2015-04-30 (for me)
  (Tools / Option / advanced/general / config editor and search for this entry)

  Edit
  I tried a few variations. Take a peek inside

• What is the path of the CT 3.1.20 upgrade to the current version?

  Just installed TB 3.1.20 import Netscape 7.2 emails and address book, which worked well. Component software plug-in "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" was able to load the "Imported addresses" address book backup. Now, I need to bring current TB. How to upgrade to the current version 31.4.0 version 3.1.20 TB? Is it possible in one step, or I have to install interim versions?

  I think that you can just update directly from 3 TB to TB 31.

  To be on the safe side, you could make a backup of your profile beforehand.

  I have a vague memory of some important changes to 5 TB, but I don't think they've hit the profile.

• OpenPGP error; Encryption/signing failed; Send an unencrypted message? I get this after the upgrade to the latest version of last night. Can you help me?

  Last night, I've upgraded to the new version of Thunderbird 31. When I try to send a signed message, I get the error written in the subject line and my message arrives without the electronic signature.
  Can you help me with this problem that I didn't have before the upgrade?
  Thank you
  Cecilia

  I can not even sign my emails.

  So do you mean that you try just to send a signed message, not so much, encrypted and signed?

  You are prompted to enter the password for your private key when sending a signed message. You get the password prompt at all?

  What is your version of Enigmail?

  The version available on AMO is still 1.6, but the latest version of Enigmail is 1.7, still waiting for review on AMO. Version 1.6 does not work with TB 31, so if you have not 1.7 yet, you can try this.

• Just upgraded to the new version and now adjust no longer works, what is the solution?

  After the upgrade to a newer version the shrink to fix the width of the screen no longer works. What is the solution?

  Code changes for the HiDPI landed in Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

  You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

  • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
  • You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce the size of the elements or use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).

  If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

• Upgrade to the latest version - help / about window of Firefox does not display 'upgrade' as in instructions.

  I want to upgrade to the latest version but - Firefox Help/About - window does not display 'upgrade' as in the instructions. I can't find a function 'upgrade' anywhere else. How to pass? The version I have is - 18.0.1 - it came with this computer.

  In my view, that this computer has been hacked. Word began to do very strange things. We erased the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I'm now get hacked online.

  Initially, they got in one of my credit cards last fall. That's when all this started. They had my AOL e-mail address. He also got your credit card balance, the minimum payment, the due date and even then the amount of the payment. They got in my Barnes & Noble account and now order does not. Now I believe that they got on my AOL account - one thing after another began to go wrong. I can't change this AOL user id/e-mail address since it's the captain and I would like to lose about 15 years of "stuff."

  The people who sold me this computer told me to use a free version of the antivirus. I'm very unhappy with him. I never had NO problem when I used fresh products of TrendMicro. These people also told me to use Firefox, because AOL uses Internet Explorer - what I already knew is like Swiss cheese.

  Now, I can't get an update of Firefox. Is this also a hack?

  Please help sort you can. Thank you for your time.

  It's probably just the Firefox update problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1
