Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once you change the bios your hard drive will show up to install windows 7, sometimes the bios will need to be updated before the CSM option will appear.
INSTRUCTIONS:
First - Burn recovery media before you make any changes! -you may want or need to go back to windows 8 later-
Second -
Important Bios changes when changing from Windows 8 to Windows 7:
Completely shut down laptop (Shut down Windows 8 while pressing the Shift key to completely power off.) then restart computer and hold f2 when the screen goes black and wait for the bios setup utility to launch.
Select advanced, then system configuration, then boot mode
UEFI and CSM or legacy (UEFI for Windows 8 and CSM or legacy for windows 7)
For windows 7 change to CSM or Legacy mode.
Third - Also in bios setup utility select - Security, then Secure Boot, then you have to disable secure boot for windows 7.
You will need to delete all partitions before installing windows 7 this is done forth step.
Forth - Insert your windows 7 disc and select custom install, your partitions should show up - click on each one and below you will see advanced drive options, click that and you will have options to format - format each one, then delete each one. You will be left with one raw partition, select to install and windows will do the rest while installing the operating system.
Fifth - install drivers
Installation order is important:
Install chipset driver then video driver before other drivers. Then install Toshiba Value added package before other applications

Need help in formatting the Date - Date does not

Need help in formatting the Date - Date does not formats and give Not a valid month error in the below scenario.

Your syntax is wrong - look at the post above where this syntax is given:
to_char (add_months(r.formdate,12), 'MM/DD/YYYY') "formdate2"Look at the formula from a logical perspective - "inside out" to read what is happening -
take formdate, add 12 months
add_months(r.formdate, 12)then apply the to_char format mask - basic syntax
to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY')Compare to your syntax:
to_char(add_months(r.formdate, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),12) "formdate2"You will see your format string inside the call to add_months, and your 12 inside the call to to_char.
Good luck!

Need help in formating a form dealing with negative currency

Need Help!!!
Creating forms in Adobe acrobat Pro I could format a number cell to calculate additions/subtractions of currency. If the result was negative I could get the cell to show the negative result in red text and show parentheses around them. How can I do that in LiveCycle?
If i have to use formcalc - what would i type in?

In LiveCycle can be done using the Numeric Field object and some formcalc script.
Use the "Numeric Field" from the Object Library. For the Field patterns (Select the placed numeric field, On object Window Object -> Field) use "num.currency{}" to show the currency(Ex: $) and "parentheses" if its negative. Write some script to show red text/border in red .
On exit event of the Numeric Field here is the script:
if($.rawValue <0) then $.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0" endif // This will make entire text in red color if the value is negative.
if($.rawValue <0) then $.validate.nullTest = "error" endif //This will make border of the field in red color if the value is negative.
Hope this helps.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
Thanks

This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Need Help with Format/Partition.. using cmd

Okay guys.. Im kinda sick of trying to get my Recovery to work. Seems like its about to finish and everything is perfect.. then suddenly I get an error message saying that Recovery didnt work, or something like that..
I figured I might as well try starting with a fresh hard drive, then trying the recovery again..
So someone told me that if I have the HP Recovery disks, then I would be able to try them, even on a brand new hard drive, or a formatted one or whatever..
Is this true?
If so, then what I am asking you guys, is, if there is anybody that would be able to help guide me thru the steps needed, in order for me to Format my hard drive, & then partition it or whatever…
& I wanna be able to do all this, using cmd (command prompt)
So Please.. anyone.. your help would be greatly appreciated..
I have an HP Pavilion dv6653cl
Thanks!!

Hi,
There's no need to pre-format a new Hard Drive - if you perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery Discs, these will perform a quick format and also re-create all the original partitions on the new drive as part of the process.
A complete guide to using Recovery Discs can be found on the relevant link below.

Need help in formatting the report created using SSRS

I have created an image and used it as the body background. But I want that image to come at right
Set bodyRepeat as RepeatY.
Currently its showing as below I need this blue image at the right most side of the report as below
Also I need to display text on the image.
Need Help!!!
Abhinav

Hi AbhinavSultania,
According to your description, you created a report and added background image to it, you want to display the image at right side of the report and display text on the image.
According to my knowledge, we could not control position of background image, as a workaround, we can refer to the following steps:
Create an image with the blue line at right side of it using Paint.
Right-click body of the report to open Body Properties dialog box, then import the image as background image.
Drag text box from Toolbox to the blue line of the image. Right-click inside of the text box and click Expression, we can use expression to show dynamic contents at runtime.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Need help in formatting a number field with same precision for excel output

I am trying to get the same preciision for a field in RTF template when the output is in EXCEL
i.e. same number of digits after decimal. So, I would like to show 150 as 150.00 and 123.2 as 123.20 etc !! Is there a way to do it. the Built in formatting will not display 150.00 for 150 . but if i add $ symbol it will display. But i dont need $ syambol. please help.

I found this on one of the forum questions.
Excel dont preserve the trailing zeros.
try opening the xcel and type 5.0000 and tab out, it wont preserve the trailing zeros after decimal.
try finding out how to disable the option in excel. if you do that, you will see what you send out from the report.
But you can try to convert the number into a text by trying to append a space at the beginning. See if that would work.
Thanks

Need help in buying a Laptop

Hi. I am looking to buy a laptop to replace my desktop.I will be using this laptop in my home only( room to room).For surfing the web,e mail,watching you tube videos,Facebook.And one last important thing,playing on facebook poker games.I think it"s called Zanga on facebook.I remember my old laptop before i bought my desktop,it use to freeze up sometimes while i was playing on Facebook-Zanga poker games.I will not be using my laptop for any other games but poker games.My question is do i need a special graphics card or can i buy any computer for these things .I am 60 yrs. old and don"t know a lot about computers even though i have been using them for years.I can not go more then $600.00.Please help me decide.Thank you for your time in reading this.

Sounds pretty average user requirements. As long as you don't plan on running any graphic intensive software or doing anything like mixing audio professionally you can probably grab whatever you want. Sorry I don't have any other advice for ya. Go see what the blue shirts say, that's what they're there for and they can get a better sense of your needs in the store and actually show you different products. It will also give you an idea of screen size, you'll find a keyboard that you can deal with, sound quality (for what it's worth at least).
$600 is a nice chunk of change to put into a computer now-a-days so I doubt you'll have trouble find anything.
I understand some people in your age range like to bring in family members, but I would urge against it since what happens your relative although they come with good intensions tend to look for stuff that they want, not you.
Example- you may want to end up looking into a tablet, like an iPad or Microsoft Surface tablet, with an attachable keyboard (look up a commercial on youtube if you need to see an example), but your son-in-law might tell you to get a 17 inch laptop that ends up needing plugged in all the time.. Have you ever sat at a Starbucks comfortably with a huge and heavy laptop and close to an outlet.... I haven't.

I need help in formating in Pages

I need formating help in Pages: I need two columns for text, but other text not in the columns. How do I do both?

Hi Mandy,
I'm not sure if I've understood what you want to do, but here's an example, based on what you've said. These instructions apply to a word processing document.
The Columns control button toward the right end of the format bar is used to set the number of columns. It's the dark one (indicating it's been selected) just above the top left corner of its menu in the image:
The 'other' text (I've called it 'extra text' in the image) can be placed in a text box. Click the T in the toolbar to insert a text box, resize to fit your 'other' text, and position as desired.
One recommendation I'd make to everyone learning to use Pages is to download and read through the first few chapters of the Pages '09 User Guide. Then check in the other chapters when you want to learn how to use specific features of Pags.
You'l find a download link in the Help menu in Pages.

Barry

Need help - Date format in es Tag / LoadedData

I got the resulted string as "Mon Jul 07 00:00:00 EDT 2003" , which can be converted
to 'Date' type
using <% Date exp_date = new Date(strDate); %> which solves my problem.
But , when I executed same code to UNIX ,
I got the resulted string as "2009-02-01 00:00:00.0" , which is not convertible

Need Help restoring 1805-S274 Laptop

I'm trying to help someone at work re-image their Toshiba 1805-S274 laptop, that got hit with scareware and various other virus problems.
At this point, we have no othe option but to recover the hard drive to the out of box state, or buy Windowx XP Home edition and load that.
This person has the original recovery CDs (they are CDs, not DVDs) that came with the laptop, though it appears they bought the laptop used. There are 3, each marked 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc.
Here is the problem I'm having. I put the the first disk in, and it begins to erase and format the HD, and seems to be progressing all right, but after 20 minutes or so, the display turns off, and nothing appears to be happening. For a little while after the display shuts off, the CD Drive is still showing activity. But, after that few minutes, it stops showing activity, and there's no activity showing on the hard drive light, and like I mentioned before, no display. It sat like this for couple of hours, but the display never came back on, and there seemed to be no activity, and it never asked for the 2nd disk. I've tried this several times, and get the same result each time.
Also, the recovery disks look like new and look like they are the original, correct, recovery disks that came with the laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do about this?
A second problem I'm having ever since I started working with this laptop is that I hit F12 when he first gave it to me, to look at the boot options. And, ever since I did that, there is no display on the laptop. I can find no brightness controls, and I've tried toggling the Function, F5 buttons which toggle the display to the laptop, external monitor or both, but can not get the display to come back. We've been having to use an external monitor to view the laptop.
Does anyone have any insight on that too? Thank you so much for any info you can give me!!! I appreciate it!

Need help applying formatting in GREP search

I'm trying to work out how I can apply character formatting to a specific character within a pattern rather than applying the character style to the whole pattern.
I can create a search which returns the text string that contains the particular character I want to format, but I want to apply a character style to a single character within that string. For instance:
The text I am searching for might be 7b9. I want to be able to apply a character style to just the "b" and not the 7 or 9. Obviously I can't apply the formatting to all instances of "b"...
Is that possible?
Thanks for any help. I'm on v5.5.

Sure
(?<=\d)b(?=\d)
Should do it.
If you need it to be any letter inbetween then try
(?<=\d)\w+?(?=\d)
If you have any other complex examples let me know

I need help choosing a new laptop computer

Hello
I currently have a lenovo 16in laptop and it craps out on me--I'm ready for a new comptuer.
I need it to be able to do research, write multiple documents and most importantly it needs to be portable and durable.
I am interested in the google chromebook but very hesistant.
Please help!!

Hey Taryn,
I understand you want a new laptop to do research, write documents, and browse the internet. Thank you for such great info to start out!! I have a couple questions.
Do you have any brands already in mind? What is your idea price range? And when you say portable, are you talking about a netbook or just a small laptop? I'm looking at laptops that Best Buy sells but answering these questions will really help me start to narrow it down for you!
Also, are you going to need your laptop for anything else other than the basic tasks you already listed??
Thanks!
