• Cannot find forefox 11 on my computer even after download

  On many video pages of the site asks me to download the latest version of firefox. When I go through the process, and follow the steps, it says download is successful. But when I go back to the web pages it gives the same message that I need to download the latest version. When I look for the latest version on my computer, it also shows an earlier version.

  Did you post with your current version of Firefox? Firefox 26 is the last, so there is no need to update.

  However, your plugin list does not display the plugin Flash Player, technically known as Shockwave Flash.

  You can check your add-ons page to see if it has been disabled? Older versions may be disabled after a while. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a

• Finder keep it open the file even after I change the default folder

  I have the problem with the default folder in the finder.

  A few months ago, I changed the default folder from the finder to a specific folder. Now, I want to change to the new folder. I already go to finder > Preferences > General > new poster finder window and change the folder, but whenever I click on the finder on the dock for the first time, keep the change back to the old folder. What should I do with this?

  Thank you for the help

  HI there Alia80,

  Looks like you set your Finder preferences to open a specific folder when you open a new window, but it seems to keep coming back to what it was previously set to. I would first start safe mode and if some system-level caches can be erased, and a check disk and repair is done automatically:

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  Once you log in safe mode, let him by making a normal restart and test the issue again.

  If it persists after this test this point in a new admin on your computerand user let me know what is happening there:

  OS X El Capitan: set up users on your Mac.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• The CCleaner registry cleaner reports "invalid or empty the file class."

  Original title: when using CCleaner (cleaning the registry), the only problem that arises is; 'Class file invalid or empty', how can I solve this problem?

  After using CCleaner, registry cleaner, CCleaner is displayed the following problem;

  I have the 32-bit version of Windows XP service pack 3 and Windows Explorer 8, is installed on this desktop computer.

  Please, help me to solve this problem.

  Thank you for any help you can give me!

  The problem with registry cleaners in general is that they often report "of the problems' when there is no problem.  If the user actually deletes an entry from the registry in response to such a notice, then it could well be a problem.

  Just because you have not known - again - a problem with the Ccleaner registry cleaning tool does not mean that you won't.  Because the 'cleansing' of the registry has not been shown to have an effect on the performance of the system, the risk of deleting something important makes use of stupid registry cleaners.  Read the two links in my previous post.

  As I wrote originally, the 'problem' reported by Ccleaner is probably due to his inability to properly manage the data type "REG_NONE" in the registry key.

  The way to fix this is to ignore and stop using Ccleaner registry that tells you that there is a 'problem '.

• What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?

  I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me.  I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all.  Instead, they say, to do x, y and z.  I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable.  It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left.  Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:

  1. my PC has not always been this slow!  It is getting worse.

  2. all my Windows software is up to date.  I have automatic updates on.

  3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.

  4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans.  I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.

  5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.

  6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

  7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons".  No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).

  8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.

  9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.

  However, I still have a slow ever-more computer.  Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors.  When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.

  So, what's the problem?  If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be?  I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims.  Thank you.  :)

  I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.

  I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.

  Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.

  The PC care program/process you described is above average.  I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.

  'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.

  Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places.  If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.

  If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.

  You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read.  It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.

  Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications.  Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.

  Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).

  Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.

  Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months!  I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.

  Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
  Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
  Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
  After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.

  In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.

  On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out.  The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.

I put the disc - extract files-(he says they have been unpacked) was a new step for me to do after that? Help, please!
  Thank you!

  Hello
   
  We recommend that you install the router (see its manual) and the pilot of NIC once more and check the difference. In the first post, you mentioned that you decompressed or extracted files. Once the files are extracted, you will be asked to install the driver. However if you do not receive any prompts for the driver, then you will need to locate the destination folder where the files are checked to find the configuration file.
  
  Open the destination folder where the files are extracted and run the Setup file to complete the installation.
   
  To download and install the latest network card driver, visit the site Web of the manufacturer of the device or system.

• How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

  Product key for reinstallation question

  I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

  PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

  If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

• What happened to Windows Live Clean Up scan (registry cleaner)? It was very useful (for me at least)

  This registry cleaner from Microsoft has been the only tool that I could trust because most of the time (unlike other cleaning products), he finds entries that were truly wrong. And although many say that registry cleaning is not really effective, this isn't what I've lived with this cleaner. I see that now Windows Live Safety Center and Windows Live OneCare were dropped, and only a virus scan is now supported with Microsoft Security Essentials. But what about the Clean Up scanner? If it was not supported in any other form it is a real mistake in my humble OPINION.

• "All programs" is empty after running Registry Cleaner

  After running registry cleaning software, I lost the ability to see all my programs when I click on "All programs"... property is (empty)... same problem when I click on "Favorites"... resulting (blank)... suggestions?

  It would be good to know how the system restore has failed.

  Any registry cleaner worthy of the name should back up the registry or at least to save the made changes so that you could "undo" them.  Try to run to the top and look for an option "Cancel".

  Another possible option would be to create a new user on your system.  When a new user is created, the default desktop items are regenerated and this could be a way to get back them.

  Other than that, you may have to re-create your icons to find programs in the folder c:\Program Files\ and recreate the shortcuts on your desktop and start menu.

  The register is an essential part of Windows and should not be messed with except if you know enough to back up the registry before you do anything about him, and restore the registry when things go wrong.

• is a registry cleaner program a good investment for a slow computer?

  Hello.

  My computer is slow and late, most of the time when I go on facebook the freez the computer for 10-15 seconds, then the page comes on. The more problems I have on facebook is when I go to the games (the game will load completely and before it begins, it closes and recharge again.) Sometimes it's just the game freez and I click on "Home" to leave the game and I have to return the game to continue playing). Now, the problem is not only on Facebook, I use it as an example. I searched on google and I want to know if a registry cleaner might help. Some websites you says it's good, some sites say it's a scam most registers are useless. I'm running on Windows Vista business and I have Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2013, and I have my computer, run a defrag every week. If I need a registry, I saw a couple of sites for this and the other says it's best 'RegClean Pro' and another said 'RegZooka.  Also is there a Web site that is 'kosher' and reliable software. There are SO many scams.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  Yves.

  Absolutely not. Most are scams.

  In any case, those who are not is dangerous. There is no central reference to the registry. Each program or driver, including Windows, it uses as it sees fit. Recommended by microsoft parts are specified by a particular product with no coordination team. Noone has knowledge of a deep understanding of the tens of thousands of programs.

  The unused parts of the registry do not affect the registry.
