    If it works in Firefox Safe mode and then disable all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and then try to find out who is causing by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

    Alternatively, you can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • WRT160N works, but not with the internet

    Heya!

    We have the WRT160N for a little while now and until a few days ago, it worked very well!

    A few days ago, the internet on our homenetwork started have really very slow and even 1 pc cannot connect at all.

    So we decided to give the router a hard reset.

    After that we did it, the network is back (our wireless network is not protected, but we'll fix that soon after we had it working again).

    Only, we do not have operating... We returned our network so we can use the maps shared on all computers, but internet has disappeared!

    We got 1 pc near the Modem, so we connected the pc to the modem and it got internet right away!

    Then we plugged the modem to the router again once and then beautiful blue light on the logo 'internet' on the router and everything was going on well again.

    Unfortunately, it was not. The internet still wasn't back! local network available on all PCs!

    So in short:

    After resetting the WRT160N, we could only use the LAN, so is not the internet. While the router itself says it has internet (it is connected to the moedem correctly).

    Things you should know:

    -We do not have internet on our modem, PCs that are connected directly to the modem have no internet

    -the cable between the modem and the router is not broken, we have tried other cables but same problem

    -We also made the modem, then turned the router, that rekindled the modem and then the router back, still nothing happened

    -Now we plugged our selector of ould (Wireless-G) back on, and it immediately starts to work OK!

    So please...! What is the problem with the WRT160N? We have forgotten something after the reset? We need to define a configuration somewhere? Maybe its broken?

    TNX for the answers already!

    Your router lost its configuration after you have reset it... You need to reconfigure your router now...

    If your Internet Service is cable follow this
    If your Internet Service is DSL follow this

    SE if you can connect to the internet now...

  • Fees on Palm Desktop, but not on the Palm Centro

    I just changed a Tungsten E2 to a Centro 685. Tungsten has Palm OS v5.40; the Centro has v5.49. Palm Desktop (running Windows XP Home SP3) uses v6.2 for awhile. The Office's expenditure as well as the Date, address, Memo, etc., and I had no trouble to enter things in charge on the tungsten and sync'ing them on the desktop. The transfer went well except that the Centro is not fresh. The HotSync log claims Sync load properly, but as I can't find the app on the Centro, I don't see the expense records.

    What Miss me? Costs not included in the v5.49 or on Centros? I saw the notes saying that recent versions of Office do not include fees; If he pulled in the v6.2 on the desktop when I updated from a previous version, but is not really supposed to be there after v5.40? Is there a way to get the app on the Centro? I can keep records of expense in the notes if I have or can install a manager of third-party charges, but I'm curious to know why I can use application on the desktop but not on the Centro Palm expenses.

    Thank you. Suggestions gratefully appreciated-

    Your proposal is correct - Palm eliminated the application of fees there is Palm Desktop and Palm OS versions.

    It may seem an older version of Palm Desktop on your computer because of its old facility.

    Hi Janie,

    The executable file for IE is called iexplore.exe.  You can click Start and then type iexplore in the search field.

    Microsoft has a tool to resolve this that should return the IE icon on the desktop - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945402. Under the fix for me article, there is a button, you must click called Microsoft Fix it.  Click run in the file download dialog box. Follow the steps in the Wizard icon on the desktop to display Internet Explorer to create an Internet Explorer desktop icon.

    Answer him back if you try this method and let us know if it is your problem.  It is a relatively new tool and it would be nice to receive feedback on how it works.  There are several other applets fix it available for further questions.  More information can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/fixit#tab0.

  • Unable to access the photo viewer; and also cannot access the desktop icons because they are changed to the photo viewer icon.

    Original title: I tried to apply the photo viewer to open a file and the photo viewer icon replaced each icon on my desktop. Now I can't open anything on my desktop. What is going on?

    The name is below the icon, but the correct icon has been replaced by windows Photo Viewer icon. When I click to open it, it says: windows Photo Viewer cannot open this photo because Photo Viewer does not support this file format, or you do not have the latest updates...

  • Computer shows as connected... but we can not access the internet.

    Original title: but alas... internet no.

    Recently, we had this problem where our shows as connected pc... but we can not access the internet.  What I've been able to solve, is that somehow my IP settings change.

    I'm going to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically", but of course... when the problem occurs again I find that my "Obtain DNS server automatically an address" has been changed to "use the following DNS server address".

    What is causing my computer to change my settings?

    I think you're DIY too.  Normally, your computer and your wireless router assign dynamic IP addresses, and they change periodically - that is part of the security design.

    In your case, the DNS server is the router.

    Most of the time what you describe is your computer is able to find a wireless router but the router doesn't send an IP (its normal function).

    This is usually:

    1. Your Internet service provider is down or your connection to it is broken.  If this is the case there is nothing you can do about it.
    2. Your computer network security key does not match the one in the router.

    1 reset the modem & router.  Follow these instructions precisely: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=136

    2. If that does not resolve the problem, you must remove this network from your list of networks to manage Windows 7.  Then try to connect again using the network key, you know.

    3. If this does not work, you will need to do a factory reset on the router and re - install the router according to the router set up instructions.

    4. If after all the above does not correct the problem, you must replace your router.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-277. We have wireless internet access in our House and it was workin fine, but since a few days I can not access the internet. My laptop is certainly recognizing internet connection wireless, but through IE or Firefox it just does not connect.

  • When a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet until the restart network card

    Hello! I found a problem with my system: when a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet, until restarted network card. Reinstall NIC driver did not help. Problem appears on a built-in adapter, in the motherboard and a separate PCI card too.  Same router via its web interface is not accessible. Windows cannot automatically fix this problem after trying to diagnose a problem with his problem Diagnostic tool. After the diagnosis in the DETAILS window, MORE tests, it displays a message like this "computer remote can not receive a connection via the Internet (HTTP) Service Port". "Unplugging" a corresponding Local network connection and then reconnect solves the problem immediately. Switching between users, when two of them are connected do not cause this problem. Important: the problem occurs in the account of the user who was logged on the system FIRST after the PC was on, when the user disconnected on newspapers of a SECOND. If the SECOND user is logged in and the FIRST user disconnects, SECOND can still access the internet. It depends only on the sequence of the user's record, not on the particular user name. And one more interesting fact: after each user registered on and outside just for once, the problem seems to disappear until the PC is turned off and turn it back on!

    System details:

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K
    RAM: 8 GB
    OS: Windows 7 x 64

    Hi, Mahesh,

    and thank you very much for your help! Update firmware driver and router LAN did not help me get rid of my problem, but greatly improved my experience of networking in general. Anti-virus software was not guilty, also, but! I found the "iControl" network software, installed as part of Sogiciel 'AI Suite II' (that came on the CD of motherboard ASUS driverssoftware), runnning and causing not only the problem mentioned above, but would also decrease upload speed up to 0.3 MB/s, when download passes to nearly 100 Mbps! Moreover, searching the Internet, I have found a lot of complaints about the behavior of this software, so that people watch you the occasional installation of this piece... sweet ;) As "iControl network" has been uninstalled (not only turned off in the settings of 'Ai Suite II'!), I'm totally happy with my system performance.

    Best regards
