Worst mistake ever - how to re - activate all devices in hardward?
I messed up really bad.
I was using DevCon (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272) to disable a USB device and accidentally entered "devcon disable!" Each unique device on my computer has been turned off instantly. Now I can't even start on a restore disk.
Is there something I can do? Can anyone help?
JoshuaWright,
Are you able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt? You can access the Safe Mode options by pressing the F8 key when the computer is just turn, before Windows starts to load. If you are able to get to the command prompt, then you can try "devcon enable *" and see if that corrects the problem.
If you are not able to get safe mode, then make sure that your BIOS is set to boot from the CD first. Then, if you have an XP CD, you can boot to the Recovery Console and try the command. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Do you understand what is the print screen key? It takes a screenshot of your screen and put it in your Clipboard - is not, despite its name, print screen a printer directly.
Try this:
1) Press PRINT SCREEN
(2) open Microsoft Word or Microsoft Paint
(3) in the main body of the new document/image - click and press CTRL + V to paste the image into the Clipboard. -
How can I force all devices to use a desktop version
I created a site in CC Muse, which you can see at www.bdm2015.businesscatalyst.com
I have only created a desktop version of this site, but seen on an iOS device, residential and commercial pages do not show the lower bar of the information and have a little black endless scroll down. I can't stop this by using the functionality of Safari to request funds site, so I get of course which think that the unit is a mobile version of the site by mistake.
Any ideas?
Site will display the version by default, if any, in the case where you don't have one version other than the desktop version all devices will display the desktop only version.
The site link you provided does not work on my end, I believe that you deleted the site.
Thank you

I hate windows 8. It is the worst program ever - how do 7 - which I never used.
I have a desktop at home and at work with xp, that I love. This new hp laptop is great, except for this lousy windows 8, which I hate. It is difficult to use and did not get more easy with the time. I would like to go back to xp, but not because of microsoft. I've never used windows 7, but it happened to be better than this pig. help (wish I had bought a macbook air)
If it's Pro 8 then there are downgrade rights associated with the supplied license, this does not apply to the base license Windows 8.
Microsoft however do not help in this process that you can not the software from them you will need to source it yourself, but when you come to authenticate you must call the authentication service to get a key.
About Windows 8... No comment.

How to move photos all photos and remove iPhoto and Aperture libraries?
How can I move all the my iPhoto and Aperture photos to Photos and remove iPhoto and Aperture libraries? Photos automatically links to the old library on migration to save space with two libraries.
As a related issue, there don't seem to be anyway to determine if a picture is stored when viewing Photos. Incredibly frustrating when there are duplicates because how do you know who I should delete?
No - nothing is connected - once you migrate a library it is independent and did no link to the original library - you can remove it if yo want
However the removal of the original library will save the little space and is not repeated because it uses hard links to the original and previews so the new library uses little extra space
As duplicates - what difference does make? They are duplicates so delete an and smells like another - even - you do not have any what visibility of the underlying files (and do not need to do this) in pictures
Pictures is a new program and this is a learning curve - and is not a professional software like Aperture, so it is not expected at all what Aperture is - is better than iPhoto and get closer to the opening, but I doubt it will ever open

Satellite A500-19W: How can I activate button light button mute?
Anyone know how I can activate the switch Illumination in a mute button?
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19W, with win 7 installed.I have 8 keys as usual (eco, CD/DVD, play, previous, next, illumination and sound - and +)
The light switch controls all the LEDs on the laptop and I find it useless. Is there a way I can turn into button mute?I found a way to control through toshiba Deputy-> optimize-> support button, but I do not know what data to enter.
When I choose the illumination button under the name of power button, I have to fill the description, option and target path field for the mute button. Any idea which must be entered in these areas?Thanks in advance
To be honest, I think that it is a very useful option, because in a certain situation you can toggle light very quickly and do not start multiple tools to achieve this.
Please note that you can use the mute box very quickly by using the FN + ESC key combination.In any case, I ve experienced follow:
After the installation of own added value package I pressed the button to light for the first time and I had small window with the Toshiba button assignment tool message you pressed the button has not been configured.
I ve set my preferred option and got the following with window
+ Are you sure that you want to set the button for this function? Once you set the button, you can not change this default unless you reinstall Button Toshiba Support. +So I think you know what you need to do now and try to change it.
