  • Copy and paste are all messed up

    The basic function of copying and pasting in Firefox seems to have changed on me and I need to the way it was.

    He used to work as it does in other Windows programs. I could use Ctrl-C or right click and select 'Copy' in the popup for copy, Ctrl + V or right-click-and-select Paste. But now that the of all messed up because it seems that simply * SELECTION * text enough to copy. I can see how for some people who would be a productivity gain, but a lot of things it messes up I have to be able to do.

    For example, I often need to select text and REPLACE it with something stuck in fact. I can do it no longer. I need to remove the text manually then to separately copy/paste, add an unnecessary extra step. Another must-be-dirt-simple operation that this bug turns into an exercise in frustration becomes the text I wrote previously (in, say, a blog entry) in a link; This no longer works. Workarounds exist, but they are slower with more steps in the way I'm used to doing things, otherwise they only work in the narrow specific scenarios that do not always apply.

    In short, for the way I work this is an * ABSOLUTE, NON NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENT * selection and the copy to be TWO SEPARATE THINGS.

    When and why it has changed, and more importantly, how do I change it back?

    Sorry for the expression of 'mystery windows', I should have changed that after pasting from another thread.

    The only extension that looks as if she would care to any selected text is 'count-Word-professional '. Hmm... research on...

    Very bad. You have been scammed.

    This is a scam and that is becoming more and more common lately. But even worse, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what confidential information they stole.

    So, I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

    2. change all your passwords, especially all of banks or other financial sites.

  • How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?

    Original title: find firewalls

    How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?  I have used norton, mcafree, avg in the past.  All have been removed through programs removal program.  I turned off my windows firewall and Security Center says I still have firewalls.  I can't access itunes store or download programs (such as the overdrive media).  I don't have a router, but have tried that disconnect and connect the computer directly to the modem.  Still have the problem.

    Security applications - especially those of McAfee and Norton - cannot be completely removed using the control panel > Add / Remove programs.

    For McAfee, see http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS100507 which explains how to use the McAfee Consumer Products Removal (that you can get the link in this article).

    For Norton, see https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

    For AVG, see http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

    If for some reason you want to reinstall everything before (that I do not recommend), don't forget to make a record of your license key before uninstalling.  The links above should explain how to do this.

    Some motherboards with nVidia chipsets include a hardware firewall (nVidia ActiveArmor).  I'm not positive on how to determine if you have this or not, but I suggest starting with a glance at the "network adapter" section of the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).

    PS: even if you're experienced, do not use your router.  It provides a layer of protection between you and the Internet, if you connect with all firewalls disabled.

  • computer started to randomly restart. What to do with the tools I have to try to find what is wrong?

    I am running Windows XP sp3, out of nowhere, my computer started to randomly restart. What to do with the tools I have to try to find what is wrong?

    Hello ccsmudge,

    Often, we see crashes as a result of a program from loading at startup.
    To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.
    The following describes this process:
     
    In addition, if you can zip the contents of the c:\Windows\minidump folder and put it on a public folder to http://skydrive.live.com , then we can take a peek to see if and why we are bluescreening and restart all of a sudden.
     
    Best regards

  • How can I find what I need at startup of the computer programs, I went to the System Configuration, but do not know what to uncheck to stop running when the computer is started

    I ran a report on my computer, in case of problems.  It detected that I needed to verify in the Configuration of the system on the programs that were running at the start of the computer.  I have several here I will list who is here, and maybe someone can tell me that I don't need at start-up.

    8 AVG Tray-unknown

    I hope someone can help me with this takes 15 min for a loading site approx. 30 to load the game after I finally get it, then the game is frozen and won't do anything.  Even for all other sites, I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do.  I have dial up and Windows 7.  Just started having problems after getting this new service provider.

    Hello Wanda.

    One command, but lets see what we can do to whittle the list down. First, dial-up internet connection is slow, so keep that in mind that we work here.

    Second, almost all your startup programs are valid and advised to load at startup of Windows. Some possible changes:

    (1) If you need not a specific to Java, such as might have the game that you are trying to play, so you don't need to have it is launched at startup.

    (2) regarding the Adobe programs, why do you have Acrobat on your computer? Do you need to create PDF files? Adobe Reader which has many freeware alternatives that are faster, used to read PDF files. So if you need only to read PDF files, you can stop Acrobat from loading at startup.

    (3) other startup programs are all legitimate. And remember, just because you do not start a program at startup, does not mean that you cannot start later if you find that you don't need it.

    (4) the problems you encounter to "all sites that you visit" could be a function of malware. You don't have AVG Antivirus running on your computer just? I recommend do you a scan in depth and then put in quarantine and remove any infections it finds.

    (5) after you run the virus scan, I suggest that you try to download and run these two scanners. First MalwareBytes' Antimalware, here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.  Secondly, SUPERAntiSpyware, here: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html. Quarantine and remove all infections they find.

    (6) after doing this, restart your computer and see how it works. Please post your results here, and if you have any questions during this process, post here and I'll help you. Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • How can I find what I downloaded

    I can't find what I downloaded after I downloaded it?

    Hey Ethan,

    You have provided little information for someone to help you.

    If you downloaded Premiere Pro (since this is the Premiere Pro forum) you can find it in the computer in the following manner:

    Windows:

    1. search in Start Windows search

    2. find in all programs

    3. go in C:\Program Files\Adobe

    Mac:

    1. go in Applications > Adobe Premiere Pro

    2 search in Spotlight search

    I hope this helps...

  • Need help to find what is REALLY to my advantage?

    I bought what I said was a ThinkPad Edge 530, with a processor i5, 6 GB of memory, a numeric keypad and running @ 7 200 RPM. When he arrived, he had not the numeric keypad. The seller told me that the keypads were not available at the edge. (Strange, the same one @ Costco was one in the picture... Then he told me it is available in a month after I purcahsed mine as well as all the brochures Lenovo just had the edge. s in the picture like that! Oh MY!)

    I have problems with the load. The battery icon at the bottom left shows 95% available, hip; no charging in progress". The seller sent to the manufacturer for me (at the same time charge me over $ 100!) and when I came back, nothing has been fixed.

    I called IBM on the problem and inquired about the keyboard... The pavement WAS available when I bought my pc! So, I thought-lied to me once... I asked what was the 'courage' of my pc. It has 4 GB of memory and is running @ 5 400 rpm.

    IBM said it was even not an E530, but an edge of 15...

    Lenovo said they have never heard of an edge of 15, that it IS an E530 (this is what is on my invoice)

    I asked Lenovo where I can find what is in my SPECIFIC laptop, and they tell me that they cannot help me. I know that I can (and have) entered my pc in 'Computer' and click right, etc... But, I need a print out of the company itself; take either the seller or the Court.

    Can someone please give me a link? My ThinkPad type 0319. Of course, I am a computer novice, or I wouldn't have gotten into this situation! It won't happen again. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you very much!

    Note of the moderator; s/n, edited for the protection of its own

    Edge 15 is not an edge E530. Edge 15 has been replaced by Edge E520, then edge E530. But it is still sold in the market of NA, a spec like you shouldn't cost more than $ 500 (closer to 300 or 400 is better like that) at most.

    Only 15 flight attendants had not the keypad, the Edge E520 and E530 times had on the numeric keypad.

    You can download a software called HWinfo32 from the web, and it will tell you the exact specification of your machine, i.e. CPU.

    The seller is you ripped off as a crook, and the support of IBM technology has no idea what he said.

    http://www.laptopreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IMG_0470-001.jpg  <--- edge="">

    Here is the official list of specifications of the laptop Edge series:

    http://www.Lenovo.com/PSREF/PDF/edgebook.PDF

    Note that the edge 15 would have the first generation I core CPU:

    I guess you have to be the next CPU:

    1 i3-380 2.53 ghz
     
    or

    2 i5-540 2.53 ghz.

    Two of these CPUS were used in the on-board computer 15 (they are called Arrandale CPU), Edge E530 use Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge CPU.

    I can't Live Update my Max Total Security that I get the message "DB update failed download!» Max Support also did not help at all. Disappointing. What should do?

    Do yourself a favor and remove the application.  Mac do not need AV applications and at best, they will be not hard (but not good either) and at worst will corrupt your system / OSX's built in protection.  Your concerns are malicious software that requires the cooperation of the user to install, not the virus.
