Hair pine, slurs musing from Palette
The above facility have been missing in time, Musescore 1.2 for quit some time now, I had set it up on a different computer from the very same download and it has worked o.k. Now the second computer is no longer available to me.
Both computers are a Windows XP. Now I am back to the one that has no slurs.
I did find a place on the forum that suggest a way of resenting the computer but I couldn't work out that system.
I have uninstalled MuseScore, download a fresh copy and that hasn't worked. I know that I can get the hair pin from the menu but not the slurs and I cant do without them.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

The Windows key is on your keyboard at the bottom left between the CTRL and ALT and usually has a picture of the Windows logo on it and may also be labelled Start.
Press it and while holding it down press the regular R key. The run window will open for you to enter the remaining information.

And if you don't have a Windows key on your computer for some reason, just use the regular Windows "Start" menu and type the command into the little box at the bottom.

Thanks ---- I got the logo
There is no “Brower” (instruction 3) there, I suspect that the instructions means to brows through the Programs. So I did – I navigated to “Accessories” from there down to programmes then found the Musscore and as you can see in the screen shot I go into the “bin”. But what now? I understand the “Run” system, but this is now where it gets complicated again.

There is no Browse button right there in the Run dialog that popped up when you pressed Windows-R? I guess maybe that got added with Vista.
Since you've found where mscore.exe is, the easiest thing would probably to to just copy and paste - or type in manually - what it says in step 5: "C:\Program Files..." Etc. with the quotes - that's part of what you need to type. Or, you might be able to copy and paste mscore.exe directly from the explorer window where you found it - I don't kmow if that works on Windows or not.
If tyou have trouble getting past this step, my next best suggestion is to find someone who has a little more computer experience to help. They don't have to know anything about MuseScore; they just have to be comfortable with Windows.

It only works from MuseScore or you can run from Windows?
Figure 1;
For the layman (me first), alternative:
Save your work (all *.mscz) in a new folder;
Uninstall all (old MuseScore);
Figure 2.
After:
Open C :/ Choose Folder Options, View. Select Show hidden files.
browse the hard disk, if they still exist:
C :/ Users / name / AppData / Roaming / Muse. Delete the folder (Muse).
C :/ Users / name / AppData / Local / Muse. Delete the folder (Muse).
After:
Download and install (last: 1.2) MuseScore.
As a precaution: if in doubt abstain ;-)

These paths are vor Windows 7 (and possibly Vista, I've never used that) but not Windows XP like Wena is using...
@ Wena
As says Marc, Windows key + R does not work?
Try
Control Panel -> Taskbar and Start Menu -> Start Menu -> Customize ... -> Advanced
at this point to check that the flag in the pop-down menu. "Run command" is selected.
In reply to Run missing by Shoichi
As you can see in the screen shot I have done all in an attempt to get this matter resolved. You will see by the screen shot that I have gone into the "Run" system and pasted in the commands that have been suggested with no results, except that the run dos not know this system.
I have also deleted the MuseScore program and reinstall and that has not worked. It suggests to me that there is a hidden file some where that holds the data that holds the settings. Any idea where they could be? or how I could find them.
Is there some developer on this forum that might know the answer.
OR IS THIS SOME SORT OF A BUG??

The reference in the second posting regarding the Factory Reset shows you where these extra user data files are held. Be sure that MuseScore is not running when you remove them.
In reply to Hair pine, slurs musing from Palette by Wena D Parry
See:
http://musescore.org/en/node/19156
Sure you have deleted the old folders?
C :/ Users / name / AppData / Roaming / Muse. Delete the folder (Muse)
C :/ Users / name / AppData / Local / Muse. Delete the folder (Muse)
Have you made visible?

I don't understand the error message from windows when you tried to run mscore.exe -F. The error says the location C:\Program Files\MuseScore\bin does not exist, yet the other picture you posted sure make it look like it does.
I'm afraid as I said before the best thing will be find someone with a little more Windows experience to help. Running that revert procedure is not supposed to be comlicated at all - normally takes a matter of seconds - but since apparently XP is just different enough to need slightly different steps, finding someone to help you figure out what you need to do differently is the best course of action. But the monet you successfully run that mscore.exe -F, the palette will be resrt.
Yes, you can also recover it by findi the correct folders to delete, but this too might be difficult to walk you through given how old XP is and how little familiarity most of us have with its quirks. Again, someone woth more Wndows experience would probably be able to solve this for you on a minute or less.

Hi Wena -
First, find the "Start" menu button in the lower left of your screen. It will look something like this (on XP). I'm sorry for the funny colors.
![start_menu.jpg]( "start_menu.jpg")
When you click on it, the menu comes up, which looks like this:
![start_menu2.jpg]( "start_menu2.jpg")
You want to click on the "Run" item, which is highlighted here:
![start_menu3.JPG]( "start_menu3.JPG")
This brings up the "Run" box, that looks like this. You may have something different showing in the white box.
![run_window.jpg]( "run_window.jpg")
Click on the "Browse" button in the lower right of the "Run" box. This brings up a window that looks like this:
![browse-mycomp.jpg]( "browse-mycomp.jpg")
If it doesn't look like that, click on "My Computer" on the left of the Browse window.
Now click on "Local disk", which is highlighted above. The window should now look like this:
![browse-localdisk.jpg]( "browse-localdisk.jpg")
Now you want to click on "Program files":
![browse-pgmfiles.jpg]( "browse-pgmfiles.jpg")
And then "MuseScore":
![browse-musescore.jpg]( "browse-musescore.jpg")
And finally on "bin":
![browse-bin.jpg]( "browse-bin.jpg")
Find mscore.exe and click on it. Now click on the "Open" button in the lower right of the browse window. Look back at your "Run" window. It should now look like this:
![run_window2.jpg]( "run_window2.jpg")
In the box that says ""C:\Program Files\MuseScore\bin\mscore.exe", type -F at the end, then click on "OK".
That should do it!
I hope your hymn project is coming along well.

I've said it before when I first started MuseScore, but there should be a better, simpler mechanism included in the base MS distribution for doing a "factory reset". Even just the inclusion of a batch script in the Musescore app folder would help as users would just have to execute it rather than all this fumbling about with command lines.
In reply to I've said it before when I by schepers
Thats not a bad idea. But realistically, you'd still have to find the batch file in order to run it, and that still requires some level of familiarity with the OS. Finding the batch files woild be no easier than finding the mscore.exe file within the Run dialog. Except in XP, which apparently lakcs a browse brose button in the Run dialog and hene requires a copy/pase as well.
In reply to Thats not a bad idea. But by Marc Sabatella
I'm a script guy, so making the process simpler in any way for all users is a good thing. Having a script in the MS app folder would simplify things somewhat as you don't have to do the hard command-line stuff.
I've attached a script I whipped up just now to perform a factory reset. It really only works on the 1.x versions but if you put it in the MuseScore BIN folder and put a shortcut to it on the desktop then it will work anywhere. It will attempt to find MS in one of three locations:
1. the present path (put it in the MS apps folder for this)
2. the standard app path "C:\Program Files"
3. the 64-bit app path "C:\Program Files (X86)"

Where Wena?
You should add in the "download" page, or add a page called "toolbox", Franz.

Thank you all, Fifist finally did the trick with his photo by photo tutorial - - but even then there was some problems having used the "Run" system it still didn't recognizes the path so I had to back tract more than ones. I can now return to work of the old collection of the Welsh Salvation Army hymns. Some 500 of them.

Hi Wena -
I'm glad you finally got it. I think the hymn project sounds like a lot of fun.
