• Network globe icon missing

  Hello!

  When I am connected to my router (I put it to auto connect to internet) after awhile, I lose the globe icon (sometimes the globe icon does not appear when I start Windows), which means that I am not connected to the internet, but I am, and I can browse normally, just the globe icon disappeared. If I open the network & sharing Center there is a red cross between the network and the internet. I had no problem (I use the same router and everything) with it before this problem came 2 weeks ago. I reinstalled windows, I tried different routers and I made a few corrections that did not work. I use Windows Vista Home Premium, my network hardware is a chip embedded on Asus P5KC motherboard.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

• "Globe / icon" mysteriously takes the place of internet shortcut icons.

  I guess this question is an ongoing thing with other users of IE 8.  Whenever I have create a shortcut on my desktop from a Web site, either more personal websites shortcut icon or I get that I guess being an icon by default, for example a white dog-eared page with an 'E' blue in the Center.  Which should, however, after a short time or even a day or two, the icon changes in this 'blue and green globe' or an icon of the "Earth-like" of the same color or nature.

  In terms laymans, how can it be corrected, get rid of the blue and green globe icon, without having to personally go to change the files in the operating system of my computer.  I'm not and I guess a great many other users, are not a computer expert or a technician and we have enough trouble with this problem of "icon" without adding to our grief by changing orders that we do not know how to correct if something goes wrong.  Microsoft offers a download or maybe a fix for the problem of this icon of switching for those of us who are not so clever programming or to modify these commands?

  Loving Windows 7, but do not love shortcut icons that have a spirit that is clean!

  This problem occurs only on internet icons, although when you click it, you get the web page you wanted the shortcut to bring up, it's just that 'gawd awful' blue and green globe of the Earth that is the issue.

  In the meantime, I found a solution much simpler which does not require a lot of time and patience.  For those who still have the same problem that I once had, read on...

  • Right-click on the offending icon (globe blue and green, etc.)
  • When the window opens click on "Properties".
  • Left click on "change icon".
  • In the upper right corner of the left window click 'Browse '.
  • Scroll down until you see "url.dll.
  • Left click twice on "url.dll," then...
  • Left click on 'Apply' and then left click on 'OK' in the next or the next window and you should have all familiar white dog-eared page with the 'E' blue in the Center where the times "awful gawd" globe once.  I took care of all my blue and geen 'globe icons' last night (27/07/10) and they have yet to return.  Simple, clean and... effective now.

  Thanks for the timely response if I received on this post, it is appreciated. : o).

  Hello

  Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

  To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

  1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
  3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
  4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.
     
     

     

  5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
  6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

  This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

  Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

• reload the page current icon flashes black to pale gray?

  Reload current page icon contiually flashes, it will sometimes when you close the browser, then align to the top. I wonder if something is not compatible?

  This is related to the JavaScript, but I can't understand what the blinking cursor. It grows only on JavaScript-heavy Web sites. Examples include http://www.nytimes.com.

  My suspicion is that there are some types of waiting for AJAX call floating around, but the mark button to reload flashing trying to communicate is not clear. The cursor flashes constantly at you, but does not tell you what it means, what he wants or expects you to do.

  I can't find any documentation on what this feature (?) bug (?) is supposed to be. It would be good to document or provide a message to info-bubble/overview by telling the user which means in fact the blinking cursor. I would dig through your bugzilla system, journal/publication of change notes, but I can't know when the change was introduced and backlog of Firefox dev docs is GARGANTUAN, and it's just little boring.

  A Firefox developer can answer this question and tell us what really means the button reload flashing?

  In addition, I want to emphasize what seems to indicate to users that they should "reset to firefox to default settings /" is an unacceptable answer. I have a specific configuration for my address bar, button bar, the menu bar, tab bar area, and I like it like that. One of the reasons why I like Firefox is because it allows me to customize such things. Telling me to nuke and suffer with the default settings of focus-group-tested is garbage. No thanks. This isn't a solution.

• in the right user account after the connection in the task bar icon flashes "windows need your permission to continue".

  I got a virus in my Vista computer cse.exe the so-called fake-AntiVirus. He has changed the file association for exe files. I fixed it and and deleted the program as well as its footprint in the registry. The virus attacks when I was in a non-administrative account. Therefore, any changes made to the registry were in the CURRENT_USER section.
  Still a problem. If I connect as User1 [non-admin] before any other action is taken, I see a tab flashing in the taskbar. It says "Windows needs your permission to continue". If I try to remove it the Explorer window dies and I get a clean screen with wallpaper and I have to restart. Of course if I provided the 'root' password every thing seems OK. I tried to identify any processes that can ask something looking at the tables Task Manager but don't see anything suspicious. If I do not touch the flashing tab I open the other Wndows Explorer since the icons I have on the desktop and NOT additional UAC asks pop up. The computer so that these experiences if offline. There is an another non administrator account on this computer. If I connect you no problem can be observed. Everything happens only in the account where the virus attacked.
  Any idea? Can I find out what program is doing admin type of request?

  Hi Victor,

  
  How to remove the virus from the computer?
  I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
  
  Method 1: Scan your computer with Microsoft Safety scanner for viruses and check if that helps.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  
  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
   
  Method 2: Run check file system (CFS) analyses and checks to see if it helps.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
  
  Note: SFC system gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonce or commands sfc /scanboot to repair its contents.
   
  Method 3: To fix an account corrupted, please follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.
  Difficulty of a corrupted user profile
   
  Method 4: To find out which program makes admin request type, check Event Viewer and check if that helps.

• BlackBerry Smartphones icon flashing clock-thought (?) and lack of email

  A flashing icon clocklike/thinking has developed and I can't stop it. It is centered in the middle of my screen and flashes across all applications. It is also draining my battery and since it appeared, no new emails have been downloaded, but I still can't browse the web, read old emails off my "BOLD", etc. The error icon is black, with a white clock as weapons ranging from 1-11 on "the clock".

  Just an update on my problem. After that has occurred continuously for a week, it seems to have fixed itself. It resets an hour before it was fixed, but during this time after reset it still showed the clock/thought icon blinking, so I don't know if the second zero is what fixed it or just the blackberry fairy who did, but at least it's working now.
