• Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

  Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

  Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
  Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

  Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
  What Miss me?

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

• Accidentally assigned with the link to all the program shortcuts

  How can I reset each the program shortcut on my desktop and quick launch of their respective programs?

  Hello Buttone,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  You can reset the default programs related to extensions by clicking on start, Control Panel, programs, default programs, and then click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.  Find the file extension that you want to reassign and click on it to make it appear highlighted and then click on change program button. This will allow you to change the default program assigned to this file extension.  I hope this information is useful.

  Thank you

• Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

  I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

  Windows Startup Repair fixed my problem, but now my desktop icons not properly opens with double-click

• "Cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. "

  When you attempt to change the priority of a process in the Task Manager (no matter what process, I've tried a few) I get the error message: cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. It is while being logged on as an administrator. Would appreciate a solution.

  Since Windows Vista and Windows 7, a logon administrator account always uses a standard or limited account for certain purposes. To access these properties, you can run a program using the "Run as administrator". To run as an administrator, you right-click on a program and select "Run as Administrator" in the right click menu.

  Some processes of the system, such as services, you cannot change even as an administrator.  Come on in "show processes from the user all the" which will ask for permission. Then reopen the task Administrator Manager and then see if you can change the priority.

• Cannot change the name of the file in the file properties.

  Original title: Cannot change the file properties

  Some downloaded files have a value in the box "title" under the details (after clicking Properties)
  I can't remove this 'title' and it appears so when I share the file on my network.
  The file is located on a portable hard drive, but I tried to move some files from problem to my office to see if I could solve these problems there, but nothing has worked.

  I already have
  -taking possession of the object
  -allows full control for all users
  -tried to use the "attrib - r + s' function
  -among other...

  I just want to know if there is a way to change the details of the file. On another windows help page it says something along the lines of "some attributes cannot be changed" I hope this isn't the case.

  Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
  Thank you

  This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

• is it possible to change the programically application icon?

  Hello

  Is it possible to change an icon from the app itself, IE on the writing of the file of the icon or the change of the. Bar, etc. I know that I don't have write access to the assets ect but is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you

  Hello-

  You cannot change the descriptor of bar or resource assets in bars signed and sealed, except through an update/version of the software.

  An alternative, could by removing & recreate application on the homescreen shortcuts but this is not possible using the current SDK. This may be available on upcoming kits.

  Why do you want to change the icon of the application programmatically?

  Thank you

• In Illustrator, I've created a text box and cannot change the font color of black.

  In Illustrator, I've created a text box and cannot change the font color of black. I tried changing each CMYK percentage individually, but it stays black. I have not had this before. What is going on?

  [Left the forum Cloud/Installer generic for program specific forum... MOD]

  akayshay,

  If I (put) understand, you can simply create a region Type, and then select with the normal (black) selection tool, then set the fill color to none in the Toolbox, and then click Add a new fill in the appearance palette and with the selected fill (yet) set your colour (ing) desired.

• Display screen when changing the programs problem

  I have a C670 - 17L and just recently I started having problems when switching between programs on the taskbar. Already when I used to click to change the programs screen of the selected program would open quickly. Now, it's much slower - it shows behavior similar to discoloration in transition on a Powerpoint presentation. Instead of a good quick change, it takes a few seconds.

  The only changes I did install Mozilla Thunderbird and Norton Internet Security, but I don't see why that should make a difference.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated - it's starting to drive me crazy!

  >.. .and Norton Internet Security...
  Remove Norton from the system and check if there is a difference. As far as I know that Norton is well known for slow performance s notebook due to his activity in the background.
