• Use the 'Open with' dialog of the operating system

  Whenever I have right click on a file in Xubuntu and choose "open with another application...". "the next dialog box is presented by the operating system:

  https://support.CDN.Mozilla.NET/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-36-e5da3e.PNG

  That's nice and I like Firefox/Thunderbird to the same behavior. But if these applications do not have a default application assigned the MIME type of that the following dialog box appears:

  https://support.CDN.Mozilla.NET/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-45-80c2c1.PNG

  I don't want to add MIME types to FF, I want to change the window/dialog box that appears when I want to open a file with an application 'other '.
  Is it possible to say that by default, the operating system 'Open with' dialog box should be used?

  Thank you.

• Laptop HP 15-af157na: new laptop - how do I back up the operating system until I use?

  You just bought a laptop and PC World told me to back up the operating system before you start to use it on a pendrive of 32 GB, but because he wanted to sell their service, he refused to give me any indication on how where to start!  Should not be difficult.  Stupid how they do not include the cs as they did.

  Someone help please?

  Thanks for the comments.

• System was originally shipped with Windows 7, I had fixed it, but the operating system has been changed to XP. Can I use the product key on the side to reinstall Windows 7?

  Reinstalling windows 7 after re-start of windows xp

  I bought my Asus computer came with windows 7 installed, earlier this year, I encountered a problem with the blue screen to come and I was unable to fix it, when I had my computer repaired they changed the operating system to windows xp, I was wondering if with registration # or whatever is on the side if I could download and reinstall Windows 7

  If the product key on the side of your machine is for Windows 7 and where-ever you guessed it "repaired" installed Windows XP - the real question becomes where they got a product key for Windows XP?

  You have the installation media for the copy of Windows 7 OEM which is preinstalled on your computer?

  If not - you will probably need to contact Asus (this laptop?) over media restore and/or check to see if the "repair" left any which restoration method should have been used intact.

• HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?

  HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?

  The printer works at all with this cable?

  The cable has recognized and installed by Windows XP when you logged on to the computer?

  If the cable has been recognized, what steps have you taken to install the printer then (be as accurate and complete as possible)?

  You get an error message?  If so, please provide, without paraphrasing.

  This printer has already been installed on this computer?  If so, with what type of connection?

  And especially, what is the brand and model of the USB to parallel cable?  Many of them do not work.  See, for example, the comments here , which suggests that 25% of the units will simply not work.  This seems to be one of these products you should buy at a local store, rather than on the Internet, then you can continue taking it back until you get a working unit.

• "Don't use this CD to reinstall the operating system on Dell count" that I had in 2004 and have more... what I want to know I can install it on a different computer now and it would be legal?

  I have an original cd of Windows XP Home Edition with the product key for it and want to use it... but when I look at the disk, according to me, he said: "Don't use this CD to reinstall the operating system on Dell count" that I had in 2004 and have more... what I want to know I can install it on a different computer now and it would be legal?

  Because Dell SLP, the restriction of similar model is not important. All that matters is the EULA and the fact that the two computers are Dells.

• Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

  OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

  Hi PAM,.

  In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

  The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

  A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

  An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

  If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

  If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• do I have to buy the new key to run the operating system on a virtual machine personal use? SOS. SOS...

  Hello

  I wanted to run vista on the same computer; but on a virtual machine. I wanted to know if I should buy a seprate key. I was perplexed because it is on the same computer at home. I wanted to use it for personal use as run the operating system on the virtual machine for programs to avoid viruses and use it kind of like a backup. I asked around only to meddle with the answers. Many people need to know the right answer to this question. Oh guys please keep this thread alive for others!

  Thank you

  Hello

  the rules of licensing are:

  One license = Installation and which includes computer

  the vista virtual machine installation will be a second installation requiring a second license of Vista

• Can I use a legitimate DVD Win7 product key to activate the operating system already installed?

  I used a DVD Windows 7 Home Premium I bought from Amazon to install on 2 computers, THEN discovered the 2nd computer would not accept the product key.  I don't want to reinstall the OS and I can't seem to find a place online legitimately sell just a product key, so if I buy another DVD on Amazon, the product key that comes with it will allow the existing installation to activate, or do I have to spend a day or more to reload the operating system, drivers, programs, settings etc, just to stinking activation?

  This information is partially incorrect. OEM System Builder licenses come with a product key.

  Yes, it does not require a clean install, but because you already have Windows 7 Home Premium installed to use your retail disk, all you have to do is to change the product key, no installation required.

• If I use the SSD to initiate the operating system and a hard disk of data what exactly will be the benefit of this end?

  Hello

  I would like to know if I use the SSD drive for the operating system boot and a hard drive for data. What will be the benefit of this effect,

  I know that SSDS starts much more quickly and reads and writes data faster.

  When I use the SSD for OS then my only wil advantage so I have faster from the OS, not more than

  but the reading and writing data wil either by the hard drive so I wil not use all the benefits of the SSD, data wil be read and written by hard drive!

  Am I right or wrong?

  Johan

  SSD benefits for most of the time of loading, and it is for all software. If you install Windows on a SSD and return to a HARD drive after a few weeks you will certainly appreciate the value of an SSD, just for the

  only the loading.

  While startup in Windows is the most obvious, the Windows advantage is usually a bit snappier

  on an SSD.

  An SSD expected to also help in many programs such as Photoshop, video editing, the processing speeds

  or CAD, due to data being created during the writing of these programs.

  I think the reads and writes more visible with large files.

  All my programs are on the SSD, but my games are on the HARD disk.

  Games to load a large number of data and will load faster on an SSD, but it's still a few seconds.

  and as games use a lot of Go, it is not really profitable to keep (150 +) on an SSD.

  -J' I keep most of my data, except the music (to save space) in my user folder, but haven't really

  noticed a difference in speed when opening a data file, such as a Word, PDF, images, or similar

  'small' files from the HARD drive.
  -I wouldn't take an SSD less 120 GB. Try to run Windows on a 60GB translate too

  stuffing autour with management of data between the SSD and HDD. In particular, as it should be

  keep 20% an SSD free to allow the two "garbage collection" and deliver a load of

  cells of extra memory to extend the life of the DSS (data gets moved to empty cells when the cells die).

  There is also a noticeable difference between the speeds of SATA2 and SATA 3 controller, so if your motherboard uses the SATA2 more the advantage of an SSD is not as great as with SATA3.

  In addition, the new SATA3 SSD controllers are faster than those of two years ago.

  SSD is a big enough topic. There are many items in the wild that may be useful.

• Stolen laptop - deactivation of the operating system to prevent future use.

  Greetings,

  I learned my father's cell phone was stolen a couple of weeks.  Us, father, sister and myself all have / had the same laptop and (update for win 7 since vista) on a license for 3 users.  Is there a process with Microsoft where they can disable the OS of the stolen laptop?  This process will not affect the other mobile OS licenses?  I ask because we wish to re - use the operating system on another laptop of replacement.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Arthur Hubbard

  Nope. Nothing can be done. Who stole the computer allows you to use it.
