Question

A teenager used my laptop and, when I got it back, I could not use Firefox and found that it was made compatible with XP when it had been Windows 7. I'd like to find what the history of use was at the time the other person used my computer. What can I do?

Community Answer

There is a reset point. Find that option, save all the other stuff that you a added, or made after that data and then let your PC/laptop apply the earlier data for you. Then download Firefox and update it till you get the version that suits your needs and is for you the best option.

Question

Where could I find a video file that was recording from Microsoft Lifecam that was interrupted?

Mobile Sensei

Community Answer

It would depend on where you set Lifecam to save videos. By default, videos are saved in the LifeCam folder under "My Pictures" on the C: drive.

Question

How can I prevent someone who knows my PC password from viewing or restoring my history?

Community Answer

Change your password. Changing passwords will cause conflict and a lot of questions being asked followed by an argument, so take extreme caution.

Question

After I completed step two of Method 1, I see a message thats says "The default is to display on the IP address, subnet madk and default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP." What should I do next?

Community Answer

Configuring your TCP/IP networking just for this simple task would be a waste of time and energy. I recommend following Method 2 or 3 for the best, most efficient results.
