"client = badoo" continues to be part of every google search url, impossible to remove
A few weeks ago, I downloaded the badoo desktop software, but removed shortly after. I deleted most of his tracks as Firefox addons, extensions, search engine, removed all its programs on my computer, etc..
But whenever I have something with the google engine search in Firefox, a part of the url includes client = badoo, which means that it is still there. And it's very disturbing.
I'm at my wits end. How can I remove this boring piece of something? Nothing seems to work.
Some programs leave something of themselves, even after having been removed.
Favorite and use this.

This module is very simple: when installing, it backs up and

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
- Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page
http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42
Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.
Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.
A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.
Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?
Hello
If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:
- In the address bar, type Subject: config
and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:
- (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
- Menu
> Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general
Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»
Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Wuauclt.exe continually displays message to crash every few seconds
Windows XP Compaq, repeatedly gives the message that wuauclt.exe has experienced a problem and must close. I close it and it comes back in a few seconds. I stop the process, and it starts after a few seconds. I delete the file in the Windows\System32 folder, and it reappears after a few seconds. I searched on the PC and it is the only example of wuauclt.exe.
What can be done to repair this PC?
Hi WKB1380,
1. What is the full error message that you receive?
Wuauclt.exe is Windows Update AutoUpdate Client. It is a background process that verifies with the Microsoft Web site for updates to the operating system. It appears on the list of the Task Manager process when waiting for a response, as if to confirm permission to download an update.
You will receive this error message if there are updates available on the computer that you do not install.
I suggest that you check if a windows update is available for the computer and verify also there are updates failed and post back with the details.
(a) click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
(b) on the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site, click view update history. A window opens that displays the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.
(c) in the column State of this window, find the update failed to install, and then click the red X.
If there are no failures of updates or updates available on the computer, then I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if you receive the error message.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.
I hope this helps!

I have Windows vista (64-bit). I have a WD HDD connected to a linksys E4200 wireless router. I created a music network hard disk, and every time I transfer or rip music to this reader, this "desktop.ini" file appear also in the context of each case. Is this OK to delete this file?
Desktop.ini is a hidden file, use of Windows operating systems to store folder settings. For example, you have created a music library so desktop.ini will contain the settings to indicate to the user interface to display the files in the folder differently from a normal folder. It will also contain parameters of the custom icons and names.
You can delete the file if you wish; point negative only consequence will be the loss of these parameters/customization.

How can I have my client Win8 continue to be supported by Windows Home Server v1?
I've updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and now my Windows Home Server v1 cannot back up my laptop. The connector software complains about volume errors and complains about the ESM may not take a snapshot of the customer volume. Help, please!
None of the two versions of Windows Home Server can back up systems of Windows 8. The first version of WHS is no longer supported and probably will not be updated to add this support. Windows Home Server 2011 can be updated, the last word of Microsoft on this subject was "Stay Tuned!"
If you want a definitive answer, post it in the Windows Home Server support forums.

5 Lightroom continues to request a round every time he starts after activation
I have just purchsed a series for Lightroom 5 upgrade. I returned to the splash screen for try/buy, which indicates is correct (green check mark), I also provide the serial number LR4 (autofilled, as it is always installed, checked green) and click Finish. Lightroom starts successfully, but it shows the start screen to try/buy again on the next launch. And it goes on forever.
I contacted customer service, chatted with 2 officers, they were totally incompetentand waiting always after finally understand what my problem was.
So now I have a serial number purchased and only 2 days left of the trial, what should I do? Any help is appreciated.
Doug, actually your advice was very helpful!
I logged in as root, launched LR5, entered the SN and this time it worked. I am now at my normal session, and everything's fine.
If it comes down to a permission problem: for some reason, the file 'license' on my system cannot be changed by the root user.

If it like how I put my Google search and this continues. It keeps coming back on Amazon
My search engine keeps coming back to Amazon. I need to change back to Google every time I log on my computer. I deleted all the other search engines, including Amazon. However, while other search engines remain deleted, Amazon continues to get back on the list. I also applied an application posted here, that was supposed to lock changes to the search engine, but it did not work. Is it perhaps I should contact Amazon about?
BonnieCSA can cause this problem, so check its settings and see if it always happens with those who protect the features are disabled.
Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

Anyone know if you can add a page to Muse that isn't in any of the menu branches on the Web site. It seems every time you turn page it's to add to a menu.
For example: domain.com/page and need to specify this URL to access the page and not from all hyperlinks on the site
Hello
Yes, you can do it in Muse. Please try following:
- Go to the Plan view.
- Right-click on the page.
- Select Menu > exclude Page of Menus

I installed vsphere4 with a host name and then wanted to change... I've updated the host file, / etc/network and even made a "newhostname hostname" but when I go back to look at the hosts file, it just goes back to the original host name. HA adds an entry to the host file, which makes me believe that it doesn't. I restart the network service, the server and it still goes back host name of the i put when I installed the server. Strangely, when I do the hostname command, I get the correct new host name. but I can only ping the server using the original host name because that is what is in the hosts file.
any one seen this before? any help would be greatly appreciated.
