Firefox does not open a new tab page, when I click on the small + firefox does not respanw, but if I use right mouse botton -> tab double as it opens a new tab how can I solve this?
Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.
There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:
- Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
- Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Replacement of Firefox 3.6.16 containing my history, bookmarks etc to version 4.0, I find that it does not open on my Mac Power PC G4 OS 10.4.11. Is there is a compatibility issue and how to retrieve version 3.6 with my favorites etc.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third part of Firefox 4 version that works under OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details, see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
When you install one of the above it will use your existing bookmarks, etc.

- You have problems with programs

- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Review the information from the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=software&s=Grand%20theft%20autoHe says that version 2 is not compatible.
If Aero is the problem, disable it before installing the game and then turn back on.
I would say as you right-click on Setup and select "Run as Administrator".I hope this helps.

defective disc - drawer does not open
I could only download a disc because the door to the drawer does not open. When I try to open I can hear sounds as it tries to open but nothing happens.
Do you know anyway I can open it through the computer or I'll have to go back to the door fixed?
Hello bethbradley,
This problem may occur if the CD/DVD drive is gone bad. I suggest that you try to eject the disk using by resetting the drive. You will find a small hole in the drawer of the DVD, you can insert a PIN to reset the player. This allows you to eject the disc. If it does not, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your computer to check if the disc is damaged.
Thank you

Cd-writer/DVD disc tray does not open when you press the Open button, or when you use the buttons to control the media on the keyboard. How can I restore it to its operating state?
Hi John,.
Please let me know exactly what happened when you tried my suggestions of first and second.
Of your most recent post, looks like you're watching the wrong part of the Device Manager. Optical drive is listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM". The info you gave appear under "drives". If the drive is not listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" or there is no such section in Device Manager, then Windows do not see. If windows can't see it then this means that there is no power or that the drive is broken.
When you pushed the drive back in, the player no longer has much of the book or did you have to push all the way. If the latter, it means that the drive has no power or is broken.
With respect to the opening of the case, I guess I should ask first if it's a laptop or desktop?

My computer has been infected by the virus Happili and I would like to run Windows Defender to drink, that it does not open. I get the above error message. How can I trouble Defender or get rid of the virus. No scanning seems to be virus.
Hello
Read the information that you do not say what Antivirus you use, which can also be the cause of the problem with Windows defender.
And also the scan with Malwarebytes AntiMalware; link to information and download here:
Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually activate new Windows (do not take into account information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

See you soon.
