(1) Back-Ups (.bak) recovered & (2) Scrolling

[Gina Stevenson]

OK, the first question is this: After this thing not working quite right the last while again, I did get some things to DVD (3 of them) in back-up fashion (.bak extension). NOW, having had to forego "restore" after trying it countless times, and doing yet another "recovery," I'd like to get those back off the DVDs. However, I can't seem to get to the actual files (the contraption that was used to back them up ... the program is on one of those DVDs!).

~~~~~~~~

Then, having a reinstall of Firefox, I'm back to that jumping 6 lines or so each time I touch the mouse wheel. Read here about how to change it, and tried it, but it has not worked (had it scrolling in smaller increments before "recovery," so ... ??):

Was wondering if (1) it didn't work at all, or (2) if it works, but does not register/show up as working until the browser is shut down and reopened. This page that tells how to correct it does not tell us.

Thanks! (yeah, too lazy to close browser down/reopen as, if it's not going to work, why ... ?? takes too long to get back up!) :praying:

OK, re back-ups ... one thing I did learn trying to get it back via the CD program that came w/the CD/DVD drive ... you have to undo it with the same program you made a back-up with, or it doesn't want to open it for you. So, after loading the NERO program, and trying it, and its asking for .nbi files, and I realized it wasn't going to work, I then remembered:

The aShampoo burning program I used to back things up said it keeps your license #'s on their website. So, I did find that! So, it's now DL'ing, and we'll hope that it will undo all my back-ups to DVD! ;) [shall return w/the results]

As for the scrolling, don't know yet. Thank you.

OK, so the computer was restarted, even, b/c the Win Updates kept popping up with that "Restart Now/Restart Later" thing. Even yet, the doggone thing will jump 6 or more lines with one little mouse wheel touch. That thing above didn't, or doesn't, work! Needs something else. I know there's something somewhere, b/c before this latest crash I had it going just a line or two at a time, not 6+.

Thank you.
