  Every night (a1) and (a2) Aurora built updated every day, so if you use such a developer version you will see an update every day (sometimes more than once a day in the case of a respin). These alpha versions are more intended to be experienced testers, because you may experience stability and regression of the questions at any time. The beta version (currently Firefox 25) can be useful for testing Web sites to see if they're going to get broken in the next Firefox release and file a bug report, if necessary.

  Note that you must always install such version of development alongside a stable version and use a separate profile for each version folder.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I don't know how to get it back. Can someone help me?

  Hello

  I would like to know the operating system you work with.

  Method 1) when you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Method 2) in case if it does not help, you must change the associated file. To change the file association for a specific file, you must first display the properties of the file.

  1. You can view the properties of a file by selecting the file and choosing 'Properties' in the file menu. Or you can simply right-click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu that appears.
  1. To change this file association, click the button change.
  1. You are given a list of recommended programs to open the file, as well as several other programs on your computer. The recommended programs are programs that Windows knows is going to be able to open the current file type. For this reason, choose a program from the list of recommended programs is a good idea. You can choose a program from the list of other programs, but the file cannot open.
  1. You can change this program opens all documents of a certain type of file, and then click the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
  1. Click OK

• Icons on the desktop are covered by some kind of a generic icon after installing updates

  Original title: updated ruined my office!

  Once the updates have been downloaded and installed to my computer Gateway DX4840-03F (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64) icons on my desktop are now covered by some sort of a generic icon applied on top of the icon who was there.  If I take the icons up to large size I can still see the edges of the original under the generic icon icon.  I'm hesitant to do a restore before the undates were applied.  I guess that when the updates have been applied, I would have the same problem.  This is the first time that I've never used this forum thing, but it seems that this isn't the hottest place of answers...

  Hi skipplummer,

  You can check in the history of Windows update and the updates recently installed.

  Step 1:

  Check the update history to see what updates have been installed. See the link for the same mentioned below.

  See the Windows updates are installed

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

  Step 2:

  Given that the problem occurred after installing Windows updates, you can try a system restore and then try to install the updates one manually and check.

  You can try a system restore to a point before installing updates.

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

  System restore

  After restoring the system, try to download and install updates one manually from the Microsoft Download Center:

• My computer deleted all my files of Documents

  When I went to sign in my computer this morning, I noticed that almost all of my files in downloads had been removed. No one touched my computer for several days, so I was wondering what had happened. I restarted my computer and when I did, everything was gone.

  All the photos, documents, music - it's all over now, and I don't know how or why. The background is over and is a black solid, and all shortcuts and documents/pictures/movies/files that were on the desktop are now also gone. Another thing I noticed, that I use the feature often enough, is that the small desktop icon in the toolbar (which minimizes everything automatically and displays only the office) has disappeared as well.

  I tried to do a system restore, but realized that my computer did not control points, so I have no recourse in this area either. It's really horrible, and I don't know who I should ask, windows or my PC manufacturer (Gateway), for help. I'm afraid that if I restart my computer once again, everything (programs, etc.) will be gone. Help, please.

  You say that your system is running for
  several days without supervision? Is it possible that
  a shot of lightning or a Brown outing may have
  has caused the hardware failure?

  If you do not want to restart... disregard of the
