• Windows 7 has lost all my settings and started looking for XP

  I have a new laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit). I'm about to install the software, I need for work and customize the settings. Everything worked up to now, when happened the following.

  -J' installed software (nothing special, for example (from a reliable source) existing communication software)

  -J' restarted the computer

  -All my settings for the taskbar and toolbar are lost (they disappear). The button (which is instead of the XP Start button) effectively changed to start button (looks like the XP Start button). The translucent window headers changed to those not translucent (as I'm used to XP). The bar of tasks/toolbar settings won't save any more (even if I register, they go back to an earlier version)

  How can I go back to 'Windows 7' and get my settings? What could have caused this strange behavior?

  I did this before on my own just see if I liked better. I did not so I went back to the Windows 7 look. In your case, there are a few different scenarios that can cause this.

  1. your theme has changed without your consent. -You can fix this with a right-click on your desktop and go to personalize . Change your theme to one that you have registered or by using the Windows 7 default labeled "Windows 7" theme. From there, you can simply add your images to customize your wallpaper.

  2. your Visual effect have been replaced by 'adjust for best results' .

  Open the menu 'Start' and right-click on computer . Go to Properties .

  Near the top-right corner of this window, you should see "advanced system settings" , click on it.

  Click the Advanced tab. Under performance , click settings .

  From here (depending on your graphics card), choose either ' let Windows choose what is best for my computer ' or ' Adjust to improve the appearance '.»» Click OK .

  3. Finally your graphics card driver.<->

  Is not as likely to happen by simply installing a program, but it's not of the unheard. Windows 7 will come back to that look older if somewhat your driver is corrupted and windows is still trying to allow you to use your computer. If you uninstall or damage your driver (ex installed a new graphics card) your computer can use graphics embedded gives you the possibility to use some of the nicer features of Windows 7 like the transparency and Aero Peek.

  Again, this is not as often, but if the other 2 suggestions above do not alleviate your problems try to reinstall your graphics card driver.

  http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/pages/index.aspx-> for ATI Radeon

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us-> for Nvidia

  If you are not sure of this graphic card you have click on your Start Menu , go to the search box and press Device Manager type enter. Click the arrow next to display adapters .

  A drop down menu should appear showing you graphics card. Go to one of the sites above to update or restore your drivers.

  I had to my computer and went to properties and automatic restart disabled. I deleted a program and it started to happen. At least, I think that's when it happened.

  What program do you have "delete"?  How did you "remove" this program?  Programs must be "uninstalled" not "deleted."  You can use system restore and roll back the machine to a point just prior to when the problem started?

• Firefox is acting as it comes to install every morning when I wake up. He loses the privacy settings, home page and shows the start-up firfox and firefox home.

  He also loses the addons, like personas. I tried to reset firefox and deleting the prefs.js. There is none of the other files mentioned in the article on how fix firefox does not save the settings. Every day that it starts with the Welcome to Firefox and Mozilla Firefox Start Page my homepage EVEN instead after I created my homepage and he remembers.

  Once I saved the settings they are stored for the rest of the day, but when I wake up in the next day, POOF!, firefox forget what I did. I remember stuff like my bookmarks, history and tabs pinned, but he doesn't remember my privacy settings for him is not to suggest stuff on the address of my history and bookmarks toolbar.

  As of the time of this message, I did not my settings for troubleshooting information are the status of firefox is in when I open it first from a morning. What the hell is happening?

  What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

  Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that can cause problems to protect and restore files in the Firefox profile folder.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

• With the help of the button reduce screen loses all tabs and normal settings.

  Using Firefox on Windows 7 64 b 32.0.3

  If I click on the button cut (top-right) when I click on the Firefox button in the taskbar of all tabs that were there disappear and cannot be brought back. Also, I have 2 sites, I set to start when Firefox is open: it is my homepage (using protopage) and the other is my e-mail address for Google mail. Two tabs are defined as locked and protected and also the Google tab is set to "pin". All these parameters have disappeared and Google mail is still missing after starting Firefox again. This does not happen if Firefox is closed and started again as everything that was on the browser tabs is the as if it was when he was arrested. It is a fairly recent passing (last month) I don't remember having this problem before. All this is done using the Firefox button in the taskbar.

  No idea why Firefox does to reduce and not to close down?

  When you stop doing that you clear all data when you exit selected in the Firefox menu > Options > privacy > to the title of the story?

  Do they keep tabs of latest start time upward or your homepage?

  If you leave the session is removed and will display the home page, but if you just leave, Firefox displays the previous session? (just to clarify)

• Can you perform a destructive restore using a disc to upgrade to windows 7 when you run windows xp pro?

  Hello! I want to perform a destructive restore, but I lost my WIindows XP pro installation CD. At the same time, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I can just buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk and took the opportunity to do a full restore, I want to erase everything from my computer and put everything to factory settings, as if she was completely new.

  What do you mean exactly by "destructive recovery? I take from your post, it means that you want to format the system drive and perform a new installation of Windows 7. In other words, start with a clean hard drive.

  If this is correct, then YES; Indeed, during the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 there is no actual "upgrade path" as the upgrade requires a custom (clean) installation of Windows 7.

  (see: I am running Windows XP on my PC.) Buy Windows 7 upgrade version?)
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/upgrading-to-Windows-7-frequently-asked-questions

  Before the upgrade, if you haven't already done so, it is highly recommended to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure that your computer is capable of running Windows 7. Windows 7 was designed to use the latest technology and equipment and many older machines are not able to run the new operating system.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  You should also visit the windows Compatibility Center 7 to determine if all of the devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and the programs on your computer are compatible with Windows 7. For printers and other devices, you will need the name of the manufacturer and exact model number.

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center
   http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  The upgrade to Windows 7 will also require that you will find and install the Windows 7 drivers (32-bit or 64-bit based on what you are upgrading to) for all you hardware and devices. This includes the BIOS (if any), the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN, mouse and keyboard, printers, scanners, cameras, etc. In the case of printers, scanners and devices, you also need the software associated with your version of Windows 7 in addition to new drivers.

  Creation of new drivers is the manufacturer of the device; in other words the computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of material or actual device. If your computer is a great brand (Dell, HP, etc) visit of the machine to support the site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific computer model. In the case of printers and others, visit the support from their manufacturer, still looking for new Windows 7 drivers for your specific camera model. Google is your friend.

  How to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 without losing all your settings
   http://maketecheasier.com/upgrade-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7/2009/08/26

  Before you begin the upgrade process, you must back up all your files and data, including pictures, movies, music, contact lists and anything else that you do not want to lose; Yet once, this upgrade requires the disk formatted as either hard erase everything on the drive. Ideally, this backup should be on external media such as an external hard drive or a (of a sufficient diameter) flash drive.

• Crash, blackBerry Smartphones "BOLD", now, all my settings are gone!

  So I'm cruising along the, using my browser in any way unusual as I do every day... when the screen goes white and freezes.  After waiting a few minutes, I turned off it.  When I bring it to the top, all my settings are gone.  My two email accounts still appear under the menu "setup", but not to my folder 'Message' as they did before.  All of my pictures and downloads are gone, as well as several of my icons of the application (including the things in browser, Media Mall, that are the norm).  My camera and video have completely disappeared.  Yet, the alarm is still defined...

  WTF?

  Do this...

  1 remove the battery from the device

  2 remove the card from the camera support. Leave it for now.

  3. replace the battery and restart. Something new?

  4. If you have a memory card adapter or the drive from your PC, place the card support in there and watch from the PC.

  Hello

  The messages are really a database and compaction it just removes the white space

  Thank you

  Hi Mark,

  You've already tried this, but if not, it's definitely worth it.

  On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

  You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

  Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

  Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

  Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

  When finished, restart the laptop.

  If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

• Search tool crashes Windows Explorer when I stop the search

  My XP search tool (the one with the little dog) goes on and during the search, and if I found what I need I stop searching and getting back to work.  I could do in W2K, but in XP - SP3 when I stop the search, Windows Explorer crashes.  So, I have to restart my XP.  Y at - it a fix for this, or do I have to use another search tool?

  My XP search tool (the one with the little dog) goes on and during the search, and if I found what I need I stop searching and getting back to work.  I could do in W2K, but in XP - SP3 when I stop the search, Windows Explorer crashes.  So, I have to restart my XP.  Y at - it a fix for this, or do I have to use another search tool?

  I have this problem on my own XP machines and have seen several times on client computers. I think it's one that Microsoft will have to work, because I can not find a solution.  It seems to be the installation of third party software that does this, because a stock installation of XP with all updates to this day doesn't seem to have this problem.

  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RESTART WINDOWS TO RECOVER FROM THIS.

  If Explorer crashes and your icons and the taskbar disappear, the solution is simply to wait for Explorer itself to begin again, or issue a ctrl-alt-delete, start Task Manager, click on file-> new task (run)-> and then enter "Explorer" (without the quotes) and click 'OK '. The icons and the taskbar will be back and XP will then operate normally.

  If some of the icons in the system tray are missing after Explorer restarts, you can quickly sign out and then sign back in to fix this problem, after you saved all work and close programs. The programs represented by missing icons are, in this case, which is still running, so it's only a cosmetic problem.

  Until Microsoft or someone else found a real solution, you may need to reinstall XP to resolve this problem. Not knowing the real cause, this problem could happen again. Not all facilities have this problem, or is it all the time.
