Win 7: can I start Win 7 from USB after having upgraded to Win 8?
Hello
I am currently facing up my Win 7 OS using a USB hard drive.
Say if I upgrade Win 7 to win 8 to my main OS C drive, can I have a dual operating system by choosing to start sometimes since my last Win 7 on the USB drive?
Thank you

Unfortunately, no, you can do that. Windows 7 must be installed on a device of storage attached internally.
You could do a dual boot:

I can't start Windows when my USB hard drive is connected
My Book Essential
I just took a WD My Book Essential. I learned sooner go into the BIOS and tell the "USB Boot" as well as the Legacy USB option capable. But I can't get my system to boot to the desktop. I have to disconnect the drive "K" and once I'm on windows I can plug the hard 'K' and have no problem. WD isn't too big to provide assistance.
This is a replacement. I formatted my new book and disabled the USB boot. It was only yesterday evening that I discovered the Legacy USB and disabled as well, but I had no luck.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the help.
I run Windows XP Pro, and it's a WD My Book Essential 1 Tarabyte
Hello

Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update
Hello
I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?
See you soon
MBAnd before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?
To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

Can I start the animation from the Middle?
Hello
I want to use the same animation in two different places and the 2nd place, it should start from 15 seconds, not from the beginning. Is this possible? There are too many items and events inside and would be painful to do it again because of it, but would be great if I could just start playing 15 seconds.
Hi, Mandi-
You can create a variable, the first time that said "I'm not the first game! Here's a sample of what you will put in your trigger to 0s.
var hasPlayed = sym.getVariable ("hasPlayed");
If she has not played before, start 15 sec. Otherwise, keep on going.
If (hasPlayed == undefined) {}
first set the variable so that the next time I hit this trigger, I'll ignore this statement
sym.setVariable ("hasPlayed", true);
SYM. Play (15000);
}
Hope that helps,

How can I start firefox automatically from startup under xp
How can used Firefox to start at boot time and now just goes to my desktop, I change this
A typical method is to copy your Firefox shortcut in the start-up folder for your Windows account.
I found an article for Windows 7, and I suspect that XP is very similar (differences in Start menu minor): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/run-a-program-automatically-when-windows-starts

Can I start lightroom 6 from the desktop?
Hi, I bought LR6 as a one-time purchase rather than the CC version.
However, it is a little heavy to start LR6 as I now open the 'creative' red cloud icon, wait a little while, so that it can connect to the internet, go to the applications tab and then select LR6.
With LR5 that I just had a desktop for LR5 icon I could click directly and would start immediately. Can I add an icon for the LR6 on my desk?
Yes. On windows, go to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom
Select lightroom (the application) and right-click and choose send to desktop.
On Mac OSX launch Finder and go to:
Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Lightroom > Adobe Lightroom.app
After launching the application, right-click (Ctrl-click) on the dock icon and choose:

I have updated to Windows 8, but can not get Windows 7 games to run on this new program. How can I do this?

Instead, there are a few free games available on the Windows Store product Microsoft applications (in your Start Menu). Card by Microsoft games are called Microsoft Solitaire Collection, there are also Microsoft Mahjong and Minesweeper from Microsoft.
