  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java
  installs and it causes more questions - have you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again.) Search

• The updates suddenly stopped working?

  I got my Photoshop of a school, a couple or a few years back. In my opinion, that they claimed that the series could run forever.

  But the updates just stopped working. They are all downloading very well in updates of Adobe applications Manager, but when it will install, I get an error message:

  "Some updates could not be installed.

  The following updates failed to install. If you want to install these updates, fix the issues below and try again:

  There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

  In Adobe Photoshop, under the Help menu, it is still possible to 'Disable', so I guess that the series is always very well. (I hope that I would be notified if my series expired.)

  I really want to update my products.

  I have updated manually using downloads on the site and it worked very well, but this still sucks, I hope I don't have to do it manually every time.

• On eBAY, I can't use the sorting feature, expand, or look at this point - I used to be able to do with firefox and all of a sudden stopped working. I think it was the last update of Mozilla Firefox. What can I do?

  eBAY has stopped working the way that it used with Firefox, my browser. Sort, enlarge the picture, look at this point - they are all no longer work.

  URL of affected sites

  http://eBay.com

  Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin - container.exe" who was using much of my CPU when I open several tabs containing Adobe Flash files and locked up Firefox.

  My solution is to use Firefox 3.5.10, which you can get on the Mozilla site at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
  I use Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the date of issue, in my opinion, it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".

  If all goes well, they will set Firefox 3.6 in the next version (for example Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use «Firefox 3.5.10»

• My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

  I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

  It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

• Satellite C650 - sound suddenly stopped working

  Hello.

  I bought this laptop the month last November.
  in any case, around a week or two ago, the noise suddenly would not work.

  He started making strange noises when I put in the headphones and speakers just made no noise at all never.
  I did a lot of weird things - like system restore, reinstall audio drivers but nothing worked until I updated the bios, then everything went well and the sound worked again.

  However, today, the sound suddenly stopped working again. I tried to re - install the current bios but InsydeFlash says: "the version of the ROM file is the same BIOS version" and just closes.

  I searched the internet for an older version of the bios, but when I try to install it, InsydeFlash said: 'the version of the ROM file is not newer than the version of the BIOS' and of course, I know that but then it closes too!

  I'm not really good at computers or anything, any help at all would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend checking some options first;
  -check if mute is not activated
  -check if all the volume controls are set to a higher value
  -check if the sound using headphones

  If this is not successful, you must reinstall the audio driver.
  First go to Device Manager and uninstall the audio driver. Restart the device
  Download the audio driver from the Toshiba page, then reinstall it. Reboot once again and test the sound.

• resolution 2560 x 1440 has suddenly stopped working. 1080 p now the max option available

  I have 2010 macbook pro (el capitan) and ASUS H257HU monitor that supports the resolution 2560 x 1440. Until yesterday, I was able to get the full resolution, but suddenly it has stopped working and the max resolution I could get was 1080 p.

  I tried to reset the smc and NVRAM, but that did not help.

  In safe mode, I followed the suggestion of apple and was able to get resolution of 2560. But it reboots the machine back to 1080 p. Hold down the option key and clicking on the option scale does not display any resolution above 1080 p.

  I've tried searching and following some recommendations, but no permits.

  Restart the computer and enter views sometimes give 2560 option, but clicking on it makes the screen turns blue and then it always comes back to 1080 p, with no options available in the dialog on the scale. The System Preferences dialog box hangs for a few seconds.

  Someone at - he fell on the same issue and found a solution. I don't know why he suddenly stops working, while still being able to work in safe mode but not in normal condition. I tried to remove the profiles as well.

  With bootcamp (win 7), the display works fine with 2560 x 1440.

  The connector I use is screen Mini DisplayPort.

  All proposals/solutions will be very well received.

  Hello there, moths.

  It seems that you are having problems to select the resolution you want on your external display from ASUS. Great job with the troubleshooting, you've done so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers strong information to look over and review, as well as links to some additional troubleshooting content:

  Get help with graphical problems on external displays connected to your Mac.

  Before you start

  You can solve many problems of display by updating the software on your Apple devices, cables and adapters. If you see an image on your screen, look for the software updates using the Mac App Store:

  1. Connect your external display and Apple video cables or cards that you use with it.
  2. In the Apple menu, click App Store.
  3. Click updates in the window of the App Store.
  4. Install OS X updates or firmware are listed.

  If you use a display, hub, extenders or adapter not made by Apple, check with the manufacturer for updates that might be available.

  If you try to connect a screen 4 K or Ultra HD TV with your Mac, make sure that your computer meets the requirements for the use of these external displays.

  If your firmware and software are up to date, or if you don't see the image on your screen, try the steps below for your specific problem.

  {...}

  Check the connections

  Check the connections on your Mac and external screens:

  • If you use an Apple laptop computer, try to connect the AC adapter.
  • Make sure that the power cable from the external display is connected correctly and that your display is enabled.
  • If you are using a Mac Pro (end of 2013), make sure that your screens are plugged into the right ports.
  • If you use a hub of display, Cabinet or "KVM", try to connect the video cable from your screen directly to your Mac instead.
  • Unplug the video cable where it plugs into your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
  • If you are using a video card, unplug the video adapter on your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
  • If you use multiple video cards to connect your screen (the cards are "chained"), testing connection of the screen by using a single adapter if possible. Some video cards may not be linked together. For example, a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter may not be connected to an adapter DVI to HDMI.
  • If your screen has more than one video connection, see if you are using another connection on the display works. If possible, check if you use a different view or a different adapter works.
  • Try using another cable that you know to be in working condition. Check with the manufacturer of the screen to make sure that you use the cable they recommend.

  Detect your display

  If you use an external monitor, sleep and wake your Mac to check for connected screens:

  1. Press the power button on your computer to standby, or choose the Apple menu > sleep.
  2. Wait a few moments, and then press a key on your keyboard or click your mouse or trackpad to wake up your Mac.

  If you use more than one screen, and you can see the image on one of the screens, you can also use the preferences monitors to check the connected screens.
  

  Adjust video settings

  If there is no image on the screen, try adjusting the brightness or contrast of the screen. If there is still no picture or image appears torn, or scrambled, try selecting a different video resolution in system preferences. Adjust brightness

  • If you use an Apple Display Monitor, press the key to increase brightness your Apple keyboard. To adjust the brightness of a secondary screen, press Control + F2.
  • If you use a view that is not made by Apple, see the documentation that came with your monitor to see if it includes built-in controls to adjust the brightness or contrast.

  Change your display resolution

  1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click the display icon.
  3. Click default for display. If you see more than one resolution listed, choose a resolution and refresh rate. If the display turns off when you change resolutions, press the ESC key to cancel the change.
     

  If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

  If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

  Search for software third display

  If your monitor only works when your Mac is started in safe mode, and related to the software display is installed, check with the developer of the software for updates, or try to uninstall temporarily.

  If you have tried these steps and your screen still does not work, contact the Apple support for more help.

  See you soon.

• Spectrum HP convertible x 360: right-click (for the context menu) has suddenly stopped working.

  In my brand new laptop right-click suddenly stopped working (for the context menu or any other use), while I was working with Excel 2010. I checked with Word 2010 and then also with Open Office: there is no right click works with any of them, whether Microsoft or not. I spent more than 5 hours looking for a solution, I did a repair of MS Office 2010, I looked for answers in cats - but nothing seems to work. I guess it has something to do with the touchpad - but what? Thank you for any suspicion.
