Hi Lstudio1,

Thanks for posting to answers.microsoft.com.

He heard the hesitation that we all experience when it comes to any machine, we begin to maintain.  It's good to be specific.  Sometimes there are people who may be relatives or friends who are the ones you would be able to use in the when it comes there knowledge and abilities with computers.  If you have a friend that you are aware of their ability to maintain a computer, it can be a source for you to enquire about the situation you encounter.

There are some suggestions that may be useful for you.

1 disk Cleanup - click Start / Double click on computer / right click on the C: and select Properties / tool tab / in error checking field select the check now.  Check if there are errors on the disc, as coherent Computer Solutions suggested in a post at first.

Also, try to find out exactly which files are more and can ask questions.  It may be that you might want your friend to trust to help to find these files, or it may require a third-party software download that helps to visualize these files in order of size from the smallest to the largest.  Research online for a 'directory tree file size' can lead to solutions that you would like to review involving something that could help you visualize this information. You can even the friend that you choose to be the source of confidence for the maintenance of your computer, to help in the search and the solutions.

Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Most of my themes will disappear if I switch to FF4? I use 3.6.17

    I used both of the themes and Personas. I want to talk about issues. My current version of FireFox is 3.6.17. I am very happy with some four years of use now! But I would be really frustrated if most of my themes disappeared!

    I did a backup using MozBackup, so if FF4 is driving me crazy as some reviews I've read. I hope that the backup would work... I am always reluctant to upgrade. I can deal with the new features of FF4 well enough, but don't want to lose my themes... I love to decorate!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can send an email to my email address

    Thank you!

    None of the themes for Firefox 3.6 will not work in Firefox 4, except if they have been updated for Firefox 4 specifically. See the AMO Web site and check whether or not the themes you are using have been updated for Firefox 4. Then, look for themes of replacement suitable for those who have not been updated.

  • changes made to the Bundle.js file will disappear after the restart of the AAU

    Nice day

    I add javascript code in the file bundle.js in the following path: domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources\bundle.js .
    the changes are reflected on the University Complutense of MADRID fine, but once the server of the University Complutense of MADRID has reformulated the changes disappeared and the file back to back such; without my changes.

    the code that I want to add is:

    If ((typeof gamme! == 'undefined') & &!) Range.prototype.createContextualFragment) {}
    Range.prototype.createContextualFragment = {function (html)}
    Frag var = document.createDocumentFragment ();
    div var = document.createElement ('div');
    frag.appendChild (div);
    div.outerHTML = html;
    return of frag;
    };
    }

    I want to add because I have a javascript like this error: object does not support property or method 'createContextualFragment', this erro has occurred when the version of Internet Explorer is V.9. ; no javascript errors appear on the Version 8. When I add this piece of javascript in the bundle.js file, it the error disappeared and everything's fine, but as I said earlier after restart of the AAU extra javascript code is over and disappear from the file bundle.js.

    For this reason, I wanted to ask, is there a way so that my code and will remain even after reboot? Or is the file downloaded on the restart of a different path?

    Any Suggestions?

    It's actually quite simple to explain:

    - domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources is a directory that contains the version of the runtime resources
    -If you want to persist your changes, you will need to do it in a source directory. 11 g, there are two directories source; one of the standard components and the other for those custom. You must use the latter
    -in fact, if you create a custom component wizard, make your changes it and activate the component, you should be done. The only other thing that you should pay attention is the loadOrder of your resource setting - it should be higher applies.

  • iPhone 7 - dyed yellow, it will disappear?

    My iPhone 7 on just below, has a yellow tint.  I'd come back or it will go away and be as brilliant as the iPhone 6 s.

    Go in settings / display and brightness. Check the setting of the night shift (feel it) and check to see if program is running. Check it then of: and to: times. Night shift will tint yellow screen if the time of day has been in the interval of time specified when you took your screenshot. If you are not within the expected time, check your setting manually activate until tomorrow and make sure it is OFF.

    You can turn off scheduled and manually activate until tomorrow to return the screen to the glossy appearance.

  • MyMSN will disappear so how can I build an equivalent in Firefox?

    Looks like the changes MSN get rid to be able to customize and have an opening page with your interests and desires. In addition, it seems that their "Favorites" will go away (I have hundreds of sites out there). It's the ttime to reassess. I would like to have a logon page that provides topics of interest. The MyMSN has allowed me to have an opening page with weather (my chosen stations), Stock Quotes (my actions and interest Fund), FoxBusiness.com, FoxNews.com, Reuters Business News, list of movie and play time (local theatres), AP Business News, etc. Is it possible using Firefox to build a logon page that displays these?

    There is no built-in feature to do this, but some choices include:

    • Yahoo or another complete portal. If you are looking for replacement iGoogle you can find many articles to look at these sites.
    • An add-on continues with such services. Because there is a lot of boring speed dial extensions, if you follow this path, please check comments carefully to ensure that you can control and are not stuck with unwanted advertising.

  • 3rd party Cookies will disappear with IE9 and Firefox 4? Impact on Marketing Automation?

    People, was curious to know how other people are considering (or have thoughts) all about losing third-party tracking with more recent browsers cookie?


    Looks like this could be very disruptive for all providers of marketing automation, or at least some sort of a switch to a party cookie should be first tracking system. If I read correctly, those systems it will be progressive, profiling, some stats CTR and certainly notification Web site visitor would be affected.

    More info here: http://paidcontent.org/article/419-mozilla-ceo-do-not-track-option-will-be-in-firefox-4/

    Thoughts?

    With the Firefox solution, we do nothing, since it requires their header and sites to work together. The challenge with Firefox and their solution is that the addition as a header-not-track, is that it requires browsers and sites to implement it to be fully effective. In other words, you can set the-no-track disengage all you like to feature in your Firefox browser, but if Web sites that track chooses to ignore the header-no-trail of Mozilla it will not do anything good. We are not ignoring the issue of Firefox, but believe that their solution is not one that will provide the appropriate consumer control.

    Regarding IE, they will be using a local list that the user must fill with sites that they do not want to be tracked on. There is not much we can do about that the consumer has the choice already today to block ALL cookies regardless of the type of part. This feature gives just more detailed control to the consumer at the level of the web address vs just block all third party cookies.

    We tested 'keep my Op-out Google' and it does not affect email and web click followed. It is only monitoring online ads.

    Finally, we are looking at or not stay with third-party cookie tracking or move to the first party. You can imagine my choice but there will be a huge change in how customers work must pass if we choose one over the other. More to come as soon as this.

  • My site will disappear after the end of the trial of Muse?

    I downloaded a demo of Adobe Muse and bound to catalyst for business for a Web site, so it is now out there but my trial runs, so my question is, if during my trial run out, will be the site to stop working? Or he will always continue to work?

    In the case trial exhausted Muse so you don't power update the site of Muse or sync save all changes through browser Edition.

    The site will still work as you said trial BC does not end, but once again update synchronization of return of BC to Muse and Muse site will be a problem after the end of the trial of Muse.
