address bar disappeared on my gateway with windows xp

We had a bad Thunder and lighting storm that struck the power works a few times, my computer makes a noise of popin and went. After the storm I restarted up without problems, except without the address bar, and some files are missing.  What should I do

It sounds like the hard drive has been damaged.

You are perhaps lucky that your computer was not more badly damaged.
Whenever there is a thunderstorm in the vicinity, you should always power off
and unplug the computer everything--electricity and internet
connection. If you do not, you run the risk of destroying the whole of the
computer.

Do not expect a surge protector to help you. Most of them are really
no more than extensions of fantasy and even the best of them is
insufficient to protect against thousands of volts that a neighbor
Lightning can cause.

  • My address bar disappeared but not the navigation bar?

    I use the classic theme restaurateur and spin the current version. My address bar disappeared as well as the buttons next and previous.

    I know it will be jarring, but you can try the "Restore defaults" button in Firefox Safe Mode? In Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily disables extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features to help you determine if they are at the origin of the problem.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    The customization panel works in Mode safe?

    And if so and you use Restore Defaults, Firefox looks better when you go out and start again normally?

  • I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

    I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

    A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

    Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

    You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
    If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
    Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

  • How can I prevent the address bar disappear until I scroll on the top of the screen

    I don't like how the address bar disappears when I'm on a Web site. Then I have to scroll on it so he can come back. It's boring. How can I change this to have just the address bar still show?

    If it operate 'slide' down when you move your cursor to the top of the screen of the monitor, you can be in full screen. The F11 key mode full screen or not.

    Error code 37. I have a model CM5688 E gateway with Windows Vista Home Premium.  My Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7203 has left a couple of weeks of work.  Anyone have an idea how I can get it working again?

    Hi Sunday47,

    There are many causes of Code 39 errors:

    ·         A required device driver is missing.

    ·         A required binary file is corrupted.

    ·         There is a problem with the file I/O process.

    ·         A driver that refers to an entry point in another binary file cannot load.

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Run the fixit available in the link below

     

    Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    If the problem persists,


    Step 2: Uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

     

    1. click on start and then click Control Panel.

    2. click on system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

    Note If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System and then click on Device Manager.

    3. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    4. in Device Manager, expand CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, right click on the device CD and DVD and then click on uninstall.

    5. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.

    6. restart the computer.

    After the computer restarts, the drivers will be installed automatically.

  • My address bar disappeared. I don't have an arrow towards the front or the rear. I tried to update, but it did not help. Anyone know where he went? (I have Version 7 and Windows Vista, I think.)

    I see more details, but I used to have normal Firefox with an address bar, and now I don't have. At the top of my page, I 'most visited' and a tab bar. Basically, I have "safe search". I'll have to do all of the URLS looking for them.

    Press F10, or press the Alt key to bring up the 'Menu Bar' temporarily if the menu bar is hidden.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

    • Is he missing elements then open the window customize via "view > toolbars > customize" or "Firefox > Options > toolbars»
    • If a missing element is located in the toolbar palette and then bring her back in the window customize the toolbar
    • If you don't see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette, then click on the "Restore default" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
  • How to restore the address bar at the top of my window of firefox on mac?

    My kids were playing with my computer and must have pushed something and everything disappeared. I need to know how to put an address bar ("back" button, refresh, ect) upwards at the top of my window. Part of the problem is that my computer screen is cracked and I see nothing in my menu easily. Would contribute to a command that would restore the address bar. Thank you.

    Have you tried to open the view menu, assuming you still have the menu bar (should be visible on Mac all the time) and looked in the menu of the toolbar to check that the Navigation bar is enabled to make are displayed?

    • View > toolbars > Navigation toolbar
  • Menu bar and address bar disappeared

    I plead for a friend, but this also happened to me a while back. The menu bar (File, Edit etc), the address bar and the tab section have all disappeared. When it happened to me, I managed to get them all back by resetting Firefox somehow, but it's around a year previously (possibly after the update to Firefox?) so I don't remember exactly how I managed. Before ask you, we are not full-screen mode, and not, by clicking Alt or f10 or f11 or something like that does not work. We cannot obtain troubleshooting information to reset Firefox as there is no help button, no address bar type about: support and no section of the tab click with the right button on the toolbars get back etc. Help, please?

    Hello headfulladreads, please try pressing the shift key while launching firefox to put in safe mode and try resetting firefox it.

  • My address bar doesn't have AutoComplete. Windows XP and it worked but not now. How to start the AutoComplete?

    My computer crashed and it was restored. I am running Windows XP and I do not re - install Firefox Aurora after the computer has been restored with the new motherboard and HDs. All my software works, but the AutoComplete is not the case. Firefox remembers my username for login and my password. It's just the AutoComplete. I have to tap completely in the name of the site. When I opened the window of the history and bookmarks, there is no entry. The yellow star in the address bar does not work. When I click it, nothing happens.

    You can temporarily rename the file to places.sqlite.sav as a test.

  • Tabs above the address bar doesn't work well with the QuickLaunch Dock - do I have to return to FF3.6 for tabs on top?

    Although there are other minor problems with FF4.0, I guess a lot of people are going to get worked in the future updates (I'm confident Mozilla will be as great as they were in the past with these problems).

    The main problem I have (I don't think that will look) is to have the tabs at the top of the window. I have a quick launch Dock that is displayed when the cursor is at the top of the screen for ~1.5 seconds more, and if I hesitate on a tab, it appears and I have to click here to dismiss my QuickLaunch Dock.

    Under the address bar tabs were not distracting - the address bar is much more annoying. At least the legs have a description text of the page, rather than a drawn URL...

    I don't want to go back to FF3.6, as other changes of FF4 - doesn't bother me, but if the tabs should stay at the top, I'll have to switch to Chrome or Safari.

    Right-click on a toolbar, and then click the entry "Tabs" at the top to deselect the it.
