After the system restore, the icons do not show on the desktop. How can I fix it?

I uninstalled Google Chrome on computer Dell 1100 from my husband.  Shortcuts on the desktop then didn't work.  It seemed to me don't forget you must redo shortcuts after a restored system so I tried and the shortcut has not yet opened.  Then I did a system restore using 10/07/12 for the date of restoration.  After that there is now NOTHING on the screen/desktop other than her photo screen saver.  We followed the instructions found online to use the f8, keys, etc., and he has changed nothing.  Any other ideas?

  • When I hit 'send' she refuses, saying that the email I just wrote is "spam." It is NOT, I need to send, how can I fix this problem?

    Not always, but often, the program thinks my own email, that I just wrote, is spam. Often, it is a response to an email sent to me and sometimes, if they have an image in the signature line, and I remove their image of my answer, it will send very well (I can leave the rest of what they wrote, and remove only the image of the signature line). Or sometimes, if I finish the first attempt and try a new message or a new response, then it works...

    But sometimes, nothing I will not convince the program that my OWN email that I want to send is NOT spam! The person I send to is EXPECTING and he waits! Why he won't send? Why he thinks I'm send spam?

    I looked at my server settings, but I have no idea what it would be under.

    How can I fix it? I NEVER send spam, I need this problem is solved so that it DOESN'T happen. Thanks for any help.

    The mail server responded:

    As indicated in the error message, it's from the server. Thunderbird has nothing to do with it. You will need to talk to your email provider why they mark your message as spam.

When you have finished adding a new keyboard, move it to the top of the list using the buttons on the dialog box.

  • I can't get Firefox to load my comcast e-mail. I can browse the web using firefox, but it does not load my emails. How can I fix it?

    I have a Mac, and I use Firefox for years. Recently, I started having problems loading my emails from Comcast when I use Firefox. I am able to load my mail using yahoo and safari... but not on Firefox. Can I do to solve this problem? I tried to reset firefox several times... at first, it seemed to solve the problem, and then after the first 5 minutes, it was back to my emails does not. So I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled... but no luck in fixing the problem. Any ideas?

    try to clear your cache and cookies to see if that solves the problem. Incase it doesn't work, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

    Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookie present as cookies.sqlite - journal in the Firefox profile folder where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Since I upgraded to FF 41 X, my "page current bookmark" in firefox does not work... How can I fix it

    No detail... it has just stopped working

    You blew the 40 Firefox? This could be a problem with your add-on IE Tab - details of your Question > more system Details shows a plugin IE Tab then, probably, you have an IE Tab extension. Try to disable them.

    Recent discussions on this problem of Firefox 40 days:

    If you are not familiar with the page modules, you can open it using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins and configure the plugin IE Tab 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then disable (or remove) any extension IE Tab and nothing else not essential or unrecognized.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled/removed to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  • one photobucket click does not work in firefox. How can I fix this?

    When I click on the photo in the album to make it full size that I can not use the click function to copy the links when I use Firefox. Click present works in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox. Is there any kind of fix for this? I would rather use Firefox than IE.

    I am slapping my forehead for not checking your plugin list. Yes, Shockwave Flash is either disabled (value "never activate" on the addons page) or completely missing.

    You can already have run it now, but just in case.

    You can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. If the Flash is set to off, it will be at the bottom. If you don't set it always turn on, it may be too old.

    To install a recent version, you can visit: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer (be sure to uncheck all the unwanted extras).

    I hope it works!

  • MY MOUSEPAD MOUSE/TRACKPAD NOT WORKING DO NOT. MAYBE DISABLED. HOW CAN I FIX IT?

    is there a way to fix this

    Hi Kimberly,

    The best place to start is to contact technical support for your computer manufacturer or the mouse/trackpad carpet if it is separate.  They will probably ask you update the drivers/firmware/software applicable to the unit at first (which is what you need to do if you decide not to get their support - but they are the ones who can help you better and the fix can be much easier).

    I'm moving this to the hardware subforum generic because I don't know your OS, or anything on the device or computer - but experts, should be even more fun to help you if the above does not work (but it should and is the best first choice).

    Good luck!

  • My copy of Firefox (currently 15.0.1) is updated automatically but did not, so since August 2012, how can I fix?

    The "Restart to update" button shows and did a restart, but there is no update.
    I checked under 'OPTIONS': in the section "Advanced" tab Update 'automatically install"is selected. "Warn me if this turns off modules" & "Use a background service to install updates" is both checked.
    I can download and install the latest version of Firefox, but how can I automatically keep it up-to-date?

    Hello
    Thank you. That would explain it.
    When I migrated to Windows 7 was also when I first set up a separate account with a regular account for use "on a daily basis.
    Which is when the automatic update has stopped!
    Thanks again.
