actonblue, Welcome to the forum.
I dont use Thunderbird myself, but a search found this:-
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird#Files_and_folders_in_the_profile
Hopefully it contains the info you require.
If not, I’m sure a thunderbird user will ‘chip-in’ with more details. Or post back.
Hope it helps.
Also, this may help – http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=25720 I think?
Sally, not sure I follow 100%, but:
it sounds like your keyboard & location are not set correctly. Are you on windows 7? If so its control panel, Region and Language, and set it for your location i.e. English (UK) as opposed to English (USA) for example. Double check in the first three tabs at least.
for the mouse pad/track pad settings look in control panel – mouse – device settings – settings, to adjust how the track pad works. Look at ‘pinch zoom’.
Hope I understood OK and it helps, if not post back.
I have an N220 running W7(starter), the driver I use is 8.14.10.2108 for the PCs GMA 3150 GPU, and brightness works OK.
As far as I know there are four options:
1. reinstall a working driver. (assuming you can find it)
2. restore to a restore point. (which you say you dont want to do)
3. Roll-back the driver via device manager (assumes you have installed one of the newer non-working drivers but beforehand it was all OK).
4. restore to day 1 and start again.You may find drivers here – http://www.samsung.com/download/Model_Select.aspx?type=Computer&typecode=11&subtype=Notebook&subtypecode=1102&model=NP-N315&filetype=SW&language=
The following are for my N220, but assuming its a similar spec machine (I don’t know this, you’d need to check at the samsung site) the working 2108 driver appears to be here – http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/pc-peripherals/notebook-computers/netbooks/NP-N220-JA01UK/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
I guess you could make a restore point ‘as is’ and if the spec is similar CPU/GPU wise (it probably is, but best check), then install these drivers and see what happens. If it makes it worse then rollback the driver or restore to your new restore point. I’d advise backing up your data first, probably wont be required but its best to play safe.
Hope it helps.
Epipychidion, re –

above, all I get is:

That don’t seem right to me, I guess the error above maybe vital? Needless to say, I would assume all is well but I haven’t installed anything.
I’m Pretty new to Ubuntu linux – lots to learn.
I’m looking at this now – http://www.voria.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=296&hilit=repo Investigating.
Any ideas?
Thanks for searching, but Ive tried that and I couldn’t get it to work. My friend has the same 10.4 version of Ub on his desktop and he couldn’t get it working either. Maybe its for an UB earlier version, not sure (or I’m doing something daft – not unheard of 😉 ).
I know its non-essential but I like the look of it. It worked on KDE no problem.
But thanks for taking the time to look.
dubL,
There is a problem with some of the Intel GPU drivers that causes this. Have a search on the forum for details.
Have you recently upgraded any drivers even by Windows update?
You need to reinstall a version that works OK ( the search should reveal good version numbers I think ) my version is “Intel GPU 3150 – 8.14.10.2108” and it works OK.
OR
You may be able to roll the driver back via the device manager tab for the graphics card (something like ‘ control panel – device manager – select the device – right click – properties – driver –Hope it helps.
PCs are funny beasts ain’t they. Do something on one and it works, do it on another similar PC and it don’t (or it has ‘issues’).
My USB Linux’s that had the problem were ‘hand built’ versions. Once I used the above USB tool all was well.
I notice that there were other installers on the site, have you tried – http://www.pendrivelinux.com/using-unetbootin-to-create-a-live-usb-linux/ for example? But at the moment it doesn’t allow persistence. But if it works then (I think) you may be able to add persistance with this – http://www.pendrivelinux.com/casper-rw-creator-make-a-persistent-file-from-windows/ ?? I’ve not tried either.
Good luck.
Jackie78,
I’ve not heard that, so cant confirm or deny. But in my case (N220) I never get over 52M at best on N. I suspect something is wrong somewhere, but don’t know where. Its almost as good speed wise on ‘g’ as it is on ‘n’ for me. At home (BT HH2 router) N gives me top notch 52M which according to the status sometimes drops to 26M. G gives me a relatively stable 48M.
PCs, don’t you just luv ’em 😉
JW3,
Have you tried this – http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ ?
After having a similar problem to you regarding problems with Windows booting after the linux has run, I stumbled on the above program. I tried Puppy 5.0.1 from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/puppy-5.0/ installed onto an 8G stick, and so far (I’ve only run it twice so far) it hasn’t had the problem (fingers crossed).
Not sure how functional puppy is on the PC, only really tested the booting and a quick fiddle on the desktop.
There are loads of distros the tool claims to be able to use, and you can point it to an unlisted ISO to try it if it isn’t listed.
If you haven’t tried it, it may be worth a bash. I’m running on an N220.
EDIT – Also seems OK with Kubuntu 10.4.1 (Network build), though for both Puppy and Kubuntu, I’m having issues setting up a wireless connection with my RTL card. Probably my lack of knowledge on these builds or the RTL drivers I’m guessing. Still investigating. But it seems to have got over that annoying Windows re-boot problem for me.
EDIT 2 – Gave up with Puppy (it must be me), but got Kubuntu connected now OK. And still no Windows reboot problem 🙂
I’m confused by it all.
“Atom implements the x86 (IA-32) instruction set; x86-64 is so far only activated for the desktop Diamondville and desktop and mobile Pineview cores. The Atom N2xx and Z5xx series Atom models cannot run x86-64 code” from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Atom
I’ll stick with 2G on 32bit, its easier 🙂

Yer, as Max say’s, I’d be interested to know as well.
I think from this – http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42503 – The CPU claims to be 64bit but says the max memory is 2G.
Seems odd having a 64bit CPU limited to 2GOr have I misunderstood something (not unknown 🙂 ).
marra33,
If you are on W7 starter then the easiest way to upgrade is probably:-
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/products/windows-anytime-upgrade
Typical UK cost – http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/microsoft-windows-anytime-upgrade-windows-7-home-starter-to-home-premium-03760658-pdt.html
May vary a little I guess shop to shop (maybe).
There are other ways, i.e. format and install a new W7 HP (once purchased) but its more work, and the anytime upgrade should (I believe) keep your PC looking and loaded as it was under starter.
Hope it helps.
