Firefox 28 tries automatically to download a file when it starts
I just upgraded to Firefox v28 and noticed new behaviors.
Whenever I run firefox, it now automatically tries to download a file of help from hp from the following link.
How can I stop firefox from doing this?
I want to thank all the people who offered a solution to this problem, I appreciate the time that other friends have made to offer suggestions.
I only noticed the problem after the upgrade to v28, but I don't think that it is linked to that.
I downloaded MalwareBytes AntiMalware and it ran. It found 2 problems. I deleted them and recharged v28 and now everything seems to be fine.
I could have some kind of infection, but it would be the first for years, since I run several firewalls and the latest Kaspersky and no one caught anything.
In any case, the problem seems to have disappeared (permanently I hope).
Thank you all.

Chances are th eemail link is a download option once. After that, you probably need to go to your Adobe account online and look for an option to download it.

' INVALID BOOT. Message from INI file when you start Windows XP
I get the error message "INVALID BOOT. INI file"when I start the computer, but then, it goes into XP. Could someone tell me please how to fix this? I don't have the Windows XP CD because my friends brother died and they gave me the computer, and it was already installed. I could get the CD if necessary, but I was wondering if there is a way to fix this without it? Thank you in advance for your help!
If you see a message like this:
Invalid BOOT. INI file
Booting from C:\windows\This usually means that the c:\boot.ini file is missing, but you can replace it.
Miss the file would require a little extra work, since it is normally a hidden system, read-only file, but I can think of many things that is happy to remove it for you.
If the system is working properly, what do you think happened to the system since the last time, he did not work properly?
You now, or have you had the "Ask Toolbar" installed on your system?
Do you now or nave already used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:
cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. guaranteed or all that has an icon that looks like a key, the key or the screwdriver?
In a facility only XP partition has not even need a c:\boot.ini file starts - he's going to complain, but this threshold always begin.
You must create a new file c:\boot.ini. It's just a text file, so you can use any text editor such as Notepad or WordPad to create a new file.
Here is an example of a simple c:\boot.ini file you can copy and paste the text to a new file. :
[boot loader]
Timeout = 5
default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
[operating systems]
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetectWhen you get this text into your text editor, do a save as, and save the file as:
c:\Boot.ini
Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.
Then restart your system.
If the file is missing once again, we need to understand why and fix it.

Hello
Windows displays a temporary storage area where files are held before they are copied to the CD. Files or folders located in the temporary storage area are listed under files ready to be written on the CD.
Try the steps and check them off below if it helps:
a. double-click my computer and then double-click the CD burner.
b. under CD writing tasks, click on delete temporary files.
When you delete the contents of the temporary storage area, you can set this field to another set of files and folders that you want to copy to the CD. The files are not deleted from their location on your computer or on the CD.

I use to be able to view local PHP files normally in Firefox with parts PHP not rendered, HTML elements are. Now he's asking if I want to open or save.
I tried FF editing options so that it presents a preview in FF, but it does not accept the changes. I cleared my cache and everything. I tried to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file thing, but I can not find the folder, in that it is. I tried deactivating/activating "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" in subject: config then restarting FF.
All are prohibited.
Web PHP pages load correctly, this problem only when I am trying to load local PHP files. I don't want to install XAMPP or PHP on my computer just to view the files them that I've never had this problem before.
In the meantime, I installed Chrome and it loads a local simple PHP file very well while FF asks me to save/download when you open the SAME file. Thanks in advance for any help.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file
Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.

HP Photosmart B209: unwanted automatic printer for old printer - when I start my laptop
I recently had problems with my HP Photosmart B209 printer so all related uninstalled and reinstalled.
It worked OK for a while, but for several reasons, I have decided that it better to buy a new printer.
Yet once I uninstalled (I think) everything to do with this and installed my new printer (HP ENVY 5540)
However, whenever I start my laptop now a window appears automatically, try to download or install the HP Photosmart B209.
How can I get rid of this please? I would like some suggestions please.
Thank you :-)
You must go back and uninstall all HP.
Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php . Use a powerful scanner at the end and remove all registry entries.
Now reinstall your new printer.

I have done this for years, but I don't know the answer to this question.
I don't know how it's done on windows, but on * nix install, it's oracle that does almost everything, it is the executable that is behind most, if not all background processes. It simply works with functions and different identities.
In doing so:
/export/home/oracle> export ORACLE_SID=nothere /export/home/oracle> sqlplus /nolog SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Thu Dec 13 10:49:23 2012 Copyright (c) 1982, 2006, Oracle. All Rights Reserved. SQL> connect / as sysdba Connected to an idle instance. SQL> startup nomount; ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/initnothere.ora'
led me to the error message file $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/mesg/lrmus.msg which is said in the header:
"/ NAME".
/ lrmus.msg - message file for setting Manager (LRM) basic error
/ DESCRIPTION
"/ List of all of the LRM database error messages.So, I think that this is part of the "bootstrap" code in the oracle itself executable that runs before the spawning of himself in all other versions of himself.

Basically, I was downloading a game play Agent and I accidentally leave Firefox. This stopped the download and I had no right to take it back, forcing me to spend $30 to buy the NEW game even to get a new file transfer. Is it possible to add a warning box to Firefox that says something like: "are you sure you want to exit Firefox? Download the file"when I try to quit smoking?
Not tested, but according to http://www.phil.im/2011/04/27/how-to-enable-firefox-download-warning-on-quit/ set browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 in the: config

Save the waveform output to a text file when VI runs continuously?
How can I save waveform output to a text file when I start my VI permanently?
I do power profiling and you want to save voltage drop measures continuely.
Oh... I see. I wasn't aware of this.
This is my first time using LabVIEW, so I used one of the example files. There, I just added "Write file to measure" with total input current... and because I used using buttom "continuous run", I added the Activate button to control when I write of the measurement files.
However, ideally, I want to run x seconds or x minutes and then stop without turn off the device that is connected to the battery Simulator of NOR. At present, its reset whenever I hit the 'run' button, which makes me put in place the special test device I want to measure again.

I tried several times using IE, Chrome and Firefox browsers (win) to download the files for Indesign CS6 - all of these attempts have failed to extract the files. Other parts of the plant extract successfully, so I don't think that's my machine or OS (Win 7 Pro). I have been fighting for three days and am losing patience fast. Advice or assistance will be appreciated.
I finally got it to work using a different machine and copy the files on a USB stick for transfer to the machine I need installed on!
