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.
Concerning
Tim
you could be wrong here - that points to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129873 , that will be fixed in firefox 41 (I have not read all the details it y still)

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.

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!

What is the pc suitabel for me?
The current Windows operating system is Windows 7. All new computers (except for netbooks that are yet to come with XP) will come with it. Most of the new computers will be able to do what you want without any problem. For the video-conference, consider buying a laptop with a built-in webcam. If you are looking for a desktop computer, make sure that any webcam that you buy is supported in Windows 7.
Windows XP is an operating system very well, but it's two operating systems behind now. Was there a particular reason you want to use XP? MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

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.

I want to activate the operating system 64-bit on a new construction
I activated the operating system 32-bit on my laptop. My laptop is dead. I want to activate the operating system 64-bit on new construction. I've never used the operating system 64-bit before.
Original title: new generation system in a few days
As long as it is the key to detail (store bought) that was used to activate the license on your laptop, you can transfer to a new machine and reactivate over the telephone.
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7
Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.
Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

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.
