Want to m6: HP Envy M6 recently install - I deleted all readers - now no partition
Hello
I deleted all the partitions of my because they were out of order and I was trying a really clean install.
Now hard drive only shows no disc computer does no boot device.
I lost my MBR? I win 10 on USB and could run partdisk, but do not know how and if my key of the OS also went. IS your key WIn 8 (or 10) saved to drive hard or in the material?
Hi @Quikstix,
Thank you for posting. I read your post, and I understand that you were trying to do a clean install of Windows 10.
If you delete the operating system on your hard drive, you must use the support/recovery disks to restore the system first. Then you can upgrade the system to Windows 10 and perform a clean installation.

How can I delete my folder "recently changed" without deleting all my files?
Hi I just want to have a clear "recently changed record" so no one can snoop on me? I have curious people around me. Is there a way to clear the record without losing everything? should I highlight all and delete? Thank you.
I'd say just delete the entire contents of the C:\Users\
\searches folder (where the recently modified record is kept). That will NOT delete your files. The above method is better than becaese the list to delete the shortcuts (which has everything in recent xxxxx files) will never updated again.
Delete the contents of the recently modified files will not remove files that their link. -
I recently installed the trial Adobe XI and end of the trial period, so I wanted to revert to the version that I already had. I didn't know any uninstall feature and my old version is apparently replaced by the trial version. I can not re - install a version previous b/c I need a product Id (God alone knows where it is now) and a way to uninstall the trial. Any ideas?
When you installed the trial, it should have been an option for ignoring your current installation and let. Apparently you skipped this case. To uninstall the trial (in Windows) go to control panel > programs and features and select XI Acrobat and choose uninstall. After uninstallation, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to clean your system. HOWEVER, if you see your old Acrobat in this window, do not run the vacuum cleaner, but do a repair on the old version.
You did not mention the old version you had. You could try http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. With respect to S/N, you should have the registry and if so you can get it from Adobe. The instructions are at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html#adobeproductdownload.
Be sure to save any download of the old Installer and the S/N for CD or HD backup for future use. They will likely not be available.

I recently installed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11 - 11.4.402.265 and when I open my Mozilla Firefox browser I get this message flashing on my screen: "Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution"
It flashes several times then stops usually but not always.
It happens every time I try to open a new page.
I solved this problem by uninstalling Adobe Flash Player 11 and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3. However, now my IE browser again wants me to install Adobe Flash Player 11. Although I do not often use my IE browser, I DON'T have to use sometimes. Is there a Firefox 15.0 update to fix this problem?
First of all, the Flash of the IE is totally different than the flash used in Firefox. You can update one without affecting the other.
Now, there is a problem right now with Flash 11.3 and 11.4 in Firefox. Downgraded to 10.3 is an acceptable solution for the moment. Adobe publishes the updates (slowly) that solve the problems, but it is not a matter of time before they are all fixed.
Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen
11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox

I recently installed Firefox 10 but it is not compatible with a client app, that I have to work. I need to get back to 9 Firefox. Where can I find to download?
I'm working on a laptop Packard Bell with XP.
Thank you.Hey wordsontime,
There are many benefits to the latest version of Firefox. You may want to consider the old version running on a USB key with PortableApps. This way you will always be able to run the latest version for your daily activities.
If you want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a glance section of the Knowledge Base install an older version of Firefox.
Hope this helps!

Upgrade XP to Windows 7
I'm struggling on upgrading my software from Windows XP to Windows 7. I recently installed Access 2007 on the pc, I'm curious to know regarding if I upgrade will I lose this software? I am required to install Office on my computer and think that it may be better to update before I do, but I don't want free access.
Back up all your data files to external media, round all your multimedia installation and key products, as all compatible applications will need to be reinstalled (this applies to Access 2007).

I recently installed camera raw plugin (9_1_1_7) for sony camera rx 111. When I try to open photoshop CS4, I get the following message, "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this file type" How can get cs4 to read the raw file?
Hi diggoman,
Greetings.
- Camera raw 9.1 is not compatible with 4 CS of PS.
- This camera is too recent for your PS CS 4
Your options if you want to open raw files-
- Purchase PS CS 6
- Or go to subscription with PS CC 2015, where you will also have access to the PS CS 6

I'm unable to access my LR5.7 of my recent holiday catalog. I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) and recently installed and then uninstalled DxO Optics Pro. The error message says it "cannot open another application already has its opening.» Leave the other copy of Lightroom before trying to launch' the problem is, that I can see a copy of the open LR5 and cannot locate the "." lrcat.lock"the specific catalog I want to open the file. I tried to re-boot my computer, but it did not work.
Thanks Geoff. I was finally able to locate the "." lrcat.lock' of the relevant folder to the catalog I want to open. Once I deleted it, LR5 was able to access my images. Problem solved. Thank you

Recently installed SSD, the left hand (the back of the screen) HOT
So I recently installed an SSD in the iMac.But that I do not have a temperature sensor to be installed on the SSD.
Spec as follow
Ive been doing some research online and people said to avoid this direction fan / running on Full constantly to install SSD Fan Control, which i have and the fan became silent again.
How ever look at the screen, if I put my hand up to left (rear panel) it seems to be real hot where the inverter card is I think?
-What is normal?
I've included some photos of SSD Fan Control temperature readings (SSD temp must be SATA as there is no sensor on it)
I can't give you a reading temp of the left rear of the screen.
Any information that would be great.
Very simple, you must contact OWC (www.macsales.com) by phone and ask about their temperature sensor cable. You need to then open up and install the cable. Otherwise, your computer may overheat and cook something.

To avoid some of the problems related to the shutdown for Windows XP support, I recently installed Firefox, which works well. I have Internet Explorer on my computer, however. I am a patient in a facility with a line chart where you can go to get the results of tests, messages, etc. When I'm on Firefox and you try to access this table by entering my username and password, I am denied access and get a message that my session has expired. When I try the same with Internet Explorer, I prefer not to use, I get access. It seems to me that I should add Firefox to the system from my computer somehow (and remove IE) so that it works. Can someone tell me how, please?
P.S. Do not remove IE. Some parts of Windows and other programs may still need it from time to time. In addition, you can find some sites created using older Microsoft technologies who do not work in other browsers.

HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.
Hello
First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!
Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.
Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...
I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step
In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?
Thank you very much for your kind attention,
Best regards
Francisco
To answer your questions:
(1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media. Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.
(2) lose the built-in recovery. IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes. That no longer works after upgrade Win10.
(3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.
(4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail. The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation. You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate. If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate. MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.
