I have no idea how Yahoo has arrived on my Firefox browser, but I hate it. I deleted everything I can think of Yahoo related, but without success.

    Here's how you can reset which appear in a new tab. If this setting does not stick, one of your modules could be replacing it.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste newtab and make a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter the desired value:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

  • Cannot get rid of the BIOS password

    Bought an ACER Aspire E1 from an EBAY of ACER store about a year ago. A few weeks ago, I started it and quickly received a BIOS PASSWORD entry. Since that time, the laptop was absolutely worthless. I guess I tried the hardware, software, battery and all I could think of to fix the problem. I tried the MICROSOFT forums. ACER, ASK.COM Forums and forums Forums, forums, forrums and other forums that I could think of to try to resolve the unknown BIOS password. Thanks UEFI.

    Cannot get rid of the BIOS password.

    If I contact the ACER Support, they say that it's a hardware problem. I tried (as suggested by ACER support), bringing to STAPLES, BESTBUY, FRYS ELECTRONICS, OFFICE MAX, DATA DOCTORS, and several other 'Repair computer facilities' nothing works.

    IN a WORD, it's a PIECE OF a $400 trash...

    If anyone has any ideas on how to reslove this issue, send me an E-mail, fax, text. or post a reply...

    Thanks for letting me the WIND...

    Hello

    I googled this file pofusido.dll and it could be caused by a virus.

    I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.

    Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.

    Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.

    So delete all cookies in your internet Explorer.

    Please keep in mind that my answer is based on the information in your message. More the better I can answer, Slan go foill, Paul

    On the Google home page, there is a blue bar that reads-
    "Discover a faster way to surf the web. Install Google Chrome no thank you'.

    My previous version of Firefox, v14 something, wouldn't show this blue bar once that I didn't choose "thank you."

    the '' no thanks '' has no effect on Firefox v15.

    I recommend to use Ad-Block Plus for this purpose. When you are on Google and the blue pop up thing, click on the Ad-Block Plus logo in the bottom left of your Firefox and select 'open blockable items '. It blocks everything (or once you spot to be at the origin of the pop - up) scripts.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager "disconnected" and I cannot get rid of the error message

    I just bought a Blackberry Curve 8530, running v5 software, my computer is Windows 7. I installed the 501_b073_multilanguage software that I downloaded from the site Web of Blackberry. When I run the Desktop Manager I get this message: "Before you start, check that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer." Troubleshooting functions I've seen on this forum: many tips (ones I've tried is below). One in particular, that I can't do is "Office Manager shows"off". ".
    -Make sure that the user has entered in the Desktop Manager and select options > connection settings > detect. »

    ... because I can't get rid of the error message dialoge box, and I can't click on the menu options in the BB Desktop Manager.

    I tried the following:

    • uninstalled and reinstalled twice - 2nd uninstall was a "hard" uninstall where I deleted the registry files by hand
    • installs the cable to the USB port at the back (after having tried both ports at the front) of the computer
    • rebooted the computer several times
    • hard starts the phone by removing the battery
    • plugged in, removed and replugged in the phone.

    Also:

    • The phone is properly install when I plug it in, but the software still does not seem to see it.
    • In Device Manager, the BlackBerry appears under portable devices. Double clicking on it gives me the message "this device is working properly." of reassurring.
    • The Com1 port is working properly, according to Device Manager.
    • A double-click on the icon of the Device Manager to get the properties indicates that the Com1 port is "disconnected" - when I try to set it up, it appears just back to the disconnected state.

    If someone has an idea or something that I have not tried, I'd be happy of course!

    Thank you!

    Good, people, after a phone call from 3 1/2 hour with a (very patient) phone support person to Blackberry, here's what I learned.

    You can check your drivers USB in this way:

    1. Plug your phone into your USB key. Assuming that your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    2. Go into the Device Manager on your computer (Panel)
    3. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers at the bottom of the list item
    4. Right-click on the BlackBerry smartphone, and then select Properties
    5. Click on the driver tab
    6. Click the driver Details button
    7. You should see a driver. I saw two. The one like the BlackBerry is the RimUsb one.

    So here's what NOT to do: we threw any driver who has been the "extra". This actually made using my mouse and keyboard cannot, because they are USB and my poor husband has sent in the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and mouse) with the old fashioned type of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't, don't.

    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you - it changes the registry to a backup system with this backup and restore if you are nervous about this kind of thing):

    1. On the start menu, choose run and type regedit into the registry editor.
    2. Follow this path to the file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, computer, class
    3. Click: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    4. If there is an article called law "UpperFilters", delete it. (See photos)

    Hope this helps someone.

  • Cannot get rid of the empty Capture window

    I've been video capture from VHS tapes to a VCR by a Canopus ADVC-55 analog-to-digital converter.  I use Windows 7.  It worked OK, but at one point, first Elements 9 froze when taking and I aborted it via Task Manager.  When I reopened it PE9 a capture window empty blocking work area appeared (see Figure).  The window cannot be closed or moved, but can be resized.

    I have made several attempts to get rid of him.

    -J' started another video capture, which opened a new capture window without getting rid of it empty.

    -Starting a new project doesn't have a window.

    -J' uninstalled and reinstalled PE9.  The empty window always opens when I start the program!

    The program is still usable by resizing the window to small so large that I can access the controls, but I would appreciate any advice to get rid of the stupid thing.
