  Hello

  Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

  Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

  Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

  Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

• The two Firefox 12 & 13 are taking forever to load any websites. 11 Firefox works fine. What have you changed to cause this problem from 12?

  I keep having to go back to 11. Supposedly 12 should be faster. Instead, it takes minuets to load each Web site. I tried several beta versions of 13 with the same problem.

  Have you tried a new profile for version 13 of Firefox?

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  See:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  You can try the portable version of Firefox that comes with its own profile folder.

  You can install multiple versions of Firefox via a custom of different installation folders Setup.

  Do a custom installation and install each version in its own folder in program using several versions of Firefox.

  • https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows

  Make sure you do not start Firefox after installation is complete.
  Create a new profile exclusively for each version of Firefox.
  Create a shortcut on the desktop with Pei 'profile' attached to the target to launch each version of Firefox with its own profile.

• My 'C' drive is almost full to bursting. Can I transfer some of the old windows after have updated them my drive "D"?

  My computer shows that my 'C' drive is almost full and advised me to transfer some of the programs on. But going through the list, I discovered that most of the proms has in my 'C' drive are windows, most programs had been updated but with different codes. I want to transfer or delete, but I don't know which of them can be done safely without affecting my computer work?

  Hello PhilipTanams,

  You will not be able to move the files to the C: drive on another drive Windows. All Windows files must be in the C: drive.

  Method 1:

  If you have personal files or data, you can move these files to another drive that increases the size of the C: drive by adding
  Method 2:

  If you have any other partition which has an empty space in it, you can extend the C: drive by adding the empty spaces to the C: drive.

• How can I replace the mime types of server, always get the mp3, rar, sid, bin files directly in the dialog box "where do you want to save this file?"

  I used to be able to click on MP3 files, the way back when, and Firefox asks where I wanted to save. Nowadays, it opens a new tab with a flash drive.
  By clicking on the "unknown" files, like .sid, .prg, .zip, .rar is ' this is a BIN file. [Cancel] [Save] ». It does not give me a check box for "always do this".
  I would like that option to edit so that certain types of files, such as PDF, regardless of mimetype, always get opened in a new tab if you click. Also some types of files, based on the extension, always go directly to the dialog box "Where you want to save the file?", without worrying if there is a viewer or a builtin player or not. In my Firefox (41.0.1 14.04LTS 32-bit Ubuntu) I have never the choice "do this for these files always" more.
  Googling led me to delete my file mimeTypes.rdf and since file extensions can even "well known", such as .zip, are treated as BIN files and I get the box Cancel-or-Save for those too - again without the choice of "always save the BIN files.

  These files are send as Content-Type: application/octet-stream and Content-Disposition: attachment;
  To send files in this way, you cannot save an automatic action.
  You can see that in network monitor.
