    I know that my internet is often slow and explains that some of my problems.  However, some applications seem to take a lot of time too, when they use INTERNET.  One such application is a database called genomematepro.  It seems to take up to one minute to change screens.  I questioned my problem in the Group of users of GMP, most seem to slow performance report during the import, but not not using real data.  My import seems fast enough compared to others, but when actually using the program is quite slow.

    If you have a problem with a slow machine and use Google Docs, then check if the Google Docs page shows the top sites in your browser. Once he enters the Top Sites, you get a Safari Web Content process that slows down the whole machine, but you do not even get a window for it. This is the key point. The problem will be definitively resolved until you remove the Google Docs of Top Sites page.

  • I'm upgrading to Adobe CC. Currently, I use Dreamweaver CS5 to my Web site. Should what steps I take to ensure that I can edit my site in Dreamweaver cc?

    I'm upgrading to Adobe CC. Currently, I use Dreamweaver CS5 to my Web site. Should what steps I take to ensure that I can edit my site in Dreamweaver cc?

    You can go to Site > Manage Sites > export to create files .ste with your settings to be imported into the new version of the site. This way your info ftp and other site specific parameters will meet instantly, rather than having to create new definitions of site by hand.

    Other that that, there really nothing that needs to be done for CC to understand your old files.

    When installing CC, make sure you click on the advanced settings in the Installer link and disable "Remove older Versions". You can easily have CS5 and installed CC at the same time to make the transition less sharp. There are some pretty big changes between CS5 and CC can take you awhile to get under your belt. Have the old version will allow you to continue to work with something that you know while you do the adjustment with the new software.

    CC has more Spry example, if whatever it is done using the framework Spry will no longer offer that you dialogue windows when you want to change. You will need to either open the old program or switch to the jQuery version (if it is available in the DW interface). It won't 'break' your Spry effects, it just will not allow you to change from the windowed interface (adjustments should be coded manually or in the old software).

  • How can I increase the recovery of Windows system restore drive 7?

    I have windows 7 ultimate and I read someone's question on the increase in the recovery of the system and I was wondering how to find it on my laptop and desktop? Because if I can and have better if restore points I ever need to go back which would help in the right now with my laptop, that my restore points back only 7 days. Which is weird, this laptop has been used longer than 7 days and I for 2 days.

    And it is the same for windows 7 Home premium? So I could show my father and my brother as well :)
    Thanks Cortana :)

    System Restore saves as many restore points as he shared.  When the allocated space fills, more older restore points are deleted to make room for the new.

    Although SR in Windows 7 is much better than XP, I would always go back much more than a week.  Windows 7 warn you: on the first screen of the system restore, you will notice a link that says "search for affected programs.  Click here to get an idea of what problems might arise if you go ahead with the restoration.

    Also, the list of restore points that shows initially cannot be completed.  Check the box "Show more restore points" to see the rest of them.

    Here's how to adjust the space allocated to the restoration of the system (all Win 7 versions): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/how-much-disk-space-does-system-restore-require

    Here are answers to some common questions about the system restore.

    Remember, the system restore saves its restore points on the same drive that is "protection". If this disc fails, both your system AND your backup disappeared.  Best practice would be to save the backups on an external support.

    If you want to stay with built-in tools, see, for example:
