• Cannot search web sites unless I have reset firefox whenever I want to use firefox

  Whenever I open firefox and try and perform a search on any web site, Firefox stops working unless I have reset firefox. I don't want to do every time, it does specify that when firefox upgraded to 20.0.1

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• I had Google as search engine by default, when I used the address bar to search for, but Yahoo has hijacked this function and I can't get default Google.

  It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?

  And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?

  Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.

  Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.

  Hello

  When I hold Alt and Tab close, it will bring up a menu for me to choose some programs.  But the problem is now this menu will not stay longer than 2 seconds, I release the key for sure.   And at the same time, my other program has the similar problem, when I left click it used to bring up a temporary menu and I would move and choose, since I have this program Alt - Tab, I have this problem on the program (Ninjatrader).

  I tried to disable all services in windows and the boot menu, nothing works.

  I remember the laptop starting up during midnight, and the next day he has this problem.

  It's very strange and interesting.    Would be - this hacker or some sort of glitch in windows vista?

  Thank you.

  Hi MoreYummy,

  1. what desktop theme you are using?

  First try this step below and check if the program selection menu will appear.

  Method 1

  Try pressing the keys CTRL + Windows + TAB. You can then press TAB to cycle through the windows. (You can also press RIGHT ARROW or ARROW down to navigate forward one window, or press LEFT ARROW or UP ARROW to navigate to the back office.) Press ESC to close Flip 3D.

  Using Windows Flip 3D

  Method 2

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode.
  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  Method 3

  If the problem persists in safe mode, then it is possible that the system files are corrupted on the computer where the origin of the problem.
  I suggest that you run a SFC scan, which would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:
  1. click on the Start button
  2. in the Start Menu, click all programs Accessories followed
  3. in the Accessories menu, right click on the command line option
  4. in the menu that appears, click on the option "Run as Administrator"
  5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
  11 after the scan finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.
  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

• Firefox continues to try to replace by Ask as my search engine. I want to use Google, but FF keeps changing it back to Ask, even when I remove Ask in the function "manage search engine."

  See the question. That's all what it!

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Uninstall ask
  Several free programs will install Ask 'Special Edition '. Foxit Reader, you have installed, is one of these. You must not choose on these items or to download the free program or during the installation of the free program. Foxit Reader, the opt-out is during the installation of Foxit Reader. See the image attached to the opt-out Foxit Reader.

  First try to disable or uninstall the Ask.com toolbar in Firefox via "tools-> Add-ons-> Extensions". See: disable or remove modules.

  In some cases, you may need to uninstall the Ask toolbar, using the Windows Control Panel. See cannot uninstall an add-on - uninstall of Windows Add/Remove Programs.

  You may also need to reset preferences related to Ask.com via subject: config, specifically the key word. URL preference-
  -Open a new tab or window.
  -Type Subject: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  -If you see a cautionary, accept it (promise to be careful)
  -Filter = keyword.url
  -Right-click on the preference under the filter and click Reset
  -Restart Firefox (file > restart Firefox)

• I can't log out of windows xp pro unless I have use Bishop task to do. What should I do about it?

  I have two accounts set up on win xp pro user.  Sometimes I can disconnect one but not the other, and it seems to flip flop that connects first.  It will change user but will not register.  Most recent he won't close the session.  I use task mgr to close the session and he still hesitates to do.

  Shutdown problems (or logoff) are usually caused by a program or process that won't come out gracefully. The program or process may be against malware, or may be legitimate (for example a pervasive like Norton or McAfee antivirus). If you use Norton or McAfee product, uninstall it and replace it with a better program like NOD32, Kasperksy or Avast (free). The Windows Firewall is enough for most people. Shutdown problems can also be caused by old/badly written drivers so make sure that all drivers are updated, especially on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  A.the first step should always ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware.

  B. If the computer is free of viruses/malware, the drivers are current, and no program Norton or McAfee is installed, then do boot minimum troubleshooting to see what program/process is the culprit:

• Siri does not work unless I have use earphones... I really need to go get the replaced NAND?

  I have an iPhone 6, March 2016, and it is from this forum that this problem on iPhones. Do I really get to an iPhone store to replace the NAND? Because I live abroad, that is not quite practical. I've done all the tips to reboot, reset, etc.

  Sorry, but options warranty and service are only valid within the country of purchase.

• Can not hear the person calling, unless I have use speaker/speaker

  Phone worked perfectly up until a day or 2 ago now I can't hear people when they call. I change all the parameters with the phone at the same time. T-mobile told me to take it in a t-mobile store to find out what the problem. I suspect that it is broken. I did a reset, pulled out the battery and even got a cup of tea, but nothing not helped... it still does not work properly. If send it back us for repair? I'd be more inclined to return permanently. There is a phone on a 2 year contract with only a 12 month warranty. To go so bad after only a week or 2 of property has put me off a bit.

  I had sony ericsson to the only reason why I have not so far is that my only final was ruined in a rain storm while I was on my bike, where a "lifeproof" defies torrential.

  I will post what happens at the shop in the morning, if anyone is interested.
