Address bar works on a user account and not on the other
Hello
I searched on through so many forums to find an answer to my problem - it is perhaps quite unique.
A year ago, stopped my firefox address bar AutoComplete works not at all. I have the latest version and I tried all the stuff around dumping cache etc. Anyway, I got a new Mac yesterday and I opened Firefox and everything worked as it should - great.
However, I moved all my files/settings/applications etc in front of my ole mac via migration assistant and now firefox is not working properly on this user account. So, I have two user accounts on the same mac, both running the same software applications. The user account with all the old files etc is that I want to continue to use, but Firefox will not properly work on this subject.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, updated, deleted version cache... all I can think.
I'm sick of Chrome crashing on me.
Can anyone help?
This may be a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

Hi I have a Toshiba laptop, it's only a few months. This is the second time I had this problem the first time I had to delete the user account and to set up a new.
I was on the laptop and all of a sudden the mouse wouldn't move. I pressed the Start button of windows and door to the top of the start screen. I was able to move with the keyboard, but the mouse did not work. So I pressed CTRL + ALT + DELETE and disconnected.When I clicked on one my friends login it worked fine no problems with the mouse so I logged in my own but the mouse is still stuck.I restarted my laptop and check the updates, but my laptop is fully updated.I have not used my account for a few days and I just connected again and the mouse worked. I opened an excel file and started working on it for about ten minutes when the mouse froze again. I am now logged in on my friends account and it works fine.Any ideas? I don't really want again to delete my account!Nothing extraordinary. I do not use many standard only apps provided with the operating system. I upgraded to 8.1 after posting the question, it seems to have done the trick... for now... If all goes well!

Query works well in an environment, but not in the other environment
Hello
I have a question that I am trying to run in two different environments.
Test: - Oracle Database 11 g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit Production
Prod: - Oracle Database 11 g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit Production
Now the query runs fine in one environment and fails in the other environment.
It gives following error.
ORA-01861: literal does not match the format string
01861 00000 - "literal does not format string.
The query is too long and contains CHAR-DATE and DATE-CHAR conversions.
The same query works very well on the TEST environment and the PROD environment.
Any help related to it would be appreciated.
Thank you

MaheshThis is called a bug. One caused by the person who developed the code. They relied on an implicit conversion between strings and dates when
production quality code will always use the function to_char and to_date with a format mask. -
I'm new to Firefox, but experience a great improvement on IE. I find it heavy to have to open a new front tab - I use the search bar... I would largely prefer a similar option to 'search results appear in a new tab.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I found it.
This preference can be changed by typing about: config
(1) type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter (click the button promising to be careful and please be careful!)
(2) in the filter box, type or paste the Search and pause until the preferences are filtered
(3) double-click browser.search.openintab to change for real. You're done, you can close all: config now.

You are a person of keyboard or mouse?
Using the keyboard after you type your query, hold down the Alt key while pressing ENTER to open search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold the Alt key when you press ENTER to open this site in a new tab.
Using the mouse, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
Is there a way to always open in a new tab without having search results to use the Alt or Ctrl key? Hmmm, perhaps, I have not studied that.

User account control appears when the is not necessary.
The user account control appears everytime I open Windows Live Mail. How can I stop this, but retain control of active user account when needed on the other actions of the computer? Thank you
Hi JosephDoherty,
UAC (User Account Control) notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions.
You can try to change UAC settings and see if it helps.
Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.
Important: Turn on UAC after you complete the steps.
For more information, you can consult the following articles:
How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?

Hope this information is useful.

account user corrupted and files in the process of disappearance
I use my second account mainly and my documents such as letters and addresses in soft micro works are endangered. Records are missing too. I do a search on the hard disk and there is no information. In microsoft works history information is there, but when you click on a file, it indicates that the file has been deleted. I use virus protection and the analyses. When I load a program from a CD-ROM program works fine on the adminstrative account but errors appear on the secondary user account. I tried to make a new user profile and I have the same problem. Could someone please recommend a solution to this problem. Do I have to reformat the hard drive? Any help will be appreciated.
It is possible that your user profile is damaged. When this happens, Windows creates a new profile for you and when you connect, it looks like an office of a new user fees. The files stored in the user (under 'My Documents') profile will be absent as well. If you start the Explorer and look in the directory "C:\Documents and Settings", you will probably see a folder with your problem with that user name and contains your old files (let's call it 'user') and maybe another folder with the same user, followed by a point and maybe the computer name (such as "user.computer") that represents the profile of recovery system. If that's what you see, the following article should help you recover:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"

ORIGINAL TITLE: File evil
When I save a file (using "Save as" in Firefox) on the Office the address bar reads: file:///C:/Users/Name/Desktop...how can I fix it?
Hi Goldie,
1. not the problem only occurs when you save the file in Firefox?
2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?I suggest you try to save the file using Internet Explorer on the desktop and see if it works.
If the problem is with the shortcut of Firefox, then I suggest you to post.

Cannot open the e-mail. I can connect on the MSN home page and when I right-click the outlook icon it shows the e-mail Inbox, but cannot access e-mail. I just get this error
"Something going wrong on a server that contains information about your user account and the mailbox is not found."
This error is on the MS and they are aware and working on a fix. Have you tried connecting mail.live.com directly using your e-mail address and the password?
For later use, you would get more (and larger) response if you posted this in the Outlook.com (e-mail) section, where are the experts.

I'm on windows 7 64 bit and when I try to save a site by double clicking on the icon star on the address bar, bookmark box flickers power on and off and then disappears. I did some research and found that the default theme is the cause. I installed a different theme and the problem goes away and that's why I don't know the root cause. Anyone with ideas on how to solve this problem? I like the default theme!
Try to uncheck the box next to 'use acceleration hardware when available' in the Options. Worked for me!

RE: Vista Home Premium 32 bit W/sp2 installed. FYI - recently got a new hard drive and a new installation of the Vista operating system.
I'll try to keep this as simple as I can, so bear with me. I have my c: drive under users 4 ads, which contain the normal operating system files. My guest account is disabled. I am the admin on the admin account, which is the only active account running at the moment. I deleted an administrator account and a user account standard and kept my 1 active admin account. I wish that were the only account on this computer as I'm the only one to use it in the future. Profiles are always on my c: drive and I would like to delete and rename my admin account to show as such. I changed my admin account name and thought I would just remove all from drive c: under users.except my account. My account name is easy to change but the profile on the disc is the former name of admin account and there is no option to change. When I open windows Explorer to my documents folder the name changed to the new name. When searching in each profile, I find that the folders and files I added are all in the old profile folder and partially in the new profile. Some are just empty and they appear in the other. Its a dam mess! How, or can I combine all my folders and files under just the profile of a user that will be used? I thought I would copy everything from the old to the new admin account, but windows will recognize even these files under a new account name? I'm also afraid to change my password to prevent implementing locked out my own computer. I read all kinds of horror stories on the web about it. How can something seemingly so simple be such a Pandora's box. I have not deleted anything yet but profiles of user accounts. Now my system is stable and works very well. No problem to speak of, but as time go on and Add / Remove programs and move things around I'll never know where to find anything. I would like to put something in its place and be there when I need it. I think that there may be problems with the standard accounts and admin / permissions or something but I do not have the ability to copy or to move things and losing important data, until I hear something concrete. I hope someone can help and thank you.As always - changing the user name does not change the name of the folder. If you want to get the name of the folder and the user name corresponds to-creating a new user with the name that you want to name the user name and the folder and copy the data you want to keep the new user. Then delete the old user and all files/folders via the user control panel.
Really - * you * is the realization of a complicated.
(1) create the * new * user account from scratch with the username you want. This will make the user name and the corresponding folder. (Of course - you may need to change the username on a current user if t ever get the one you want first.)
(2) copy the Documents, photos, etc. you want from the old account to the new.
(3) via the user control panel, remove whatever you do not want users. Don't do this manually. You have no reason to go in the C:\USERS\ yourself. If you do, * you * are causing you pain.
(4) you do really want two administrative level accounts in case you lose access to the other. It's just the wise thing to do.
