  • "The update could not be installed." What should I do?

    Whenever Firefox try to update I get a message that says "the update could not be installed. Please make sure that there is no other copy of Firefox running on your computer, etc... "The task manager says there is no other copy of Firefox running, and there are not yet all copies of Firefox running on the anywhere network. When I click on X or OK it just runs through the same cycle and I get the same message. This happens to every update until I have download the new version and install it on top of the current installation. I continue to wait for the bug with the next update, but he continues to be. How to stop this behavior, or can I just give up on Firefox and the use of Chrome or something? It is becoming a major pain in the neck.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update doesn't work does not correctly)

    Delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates:

    Vista/Windows7:
    C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)

    Do a clean reinstall and download a new copy of Firefox since http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.

    Do not remove personal data during the uninstallation.

    It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    You can skip the step to create a new profile, which is not required on this issue.

  • What happens to my all the updates, if I Re install Win 7 new

    After 3 years, I found that the supporter of Windows 7 (70 GB) is full in my hard drive, can be due to many UPDATES all these years. Because I don't know how to free up space on this drive, I decided to re - install Windows 7 again. In this case, what happens to all my received UPDATES earlier. Do I have to download all the UPDATES again? Help, please

    Yes, you will need to submit a new application of updates after reinstall. However some later updates are in fact replaced by later that the results can be more effective. I also download and manually apply service packs on new construction as allows me to apply the setting "nobackup.

    On the last one I made after that the SPs, I had a little less than 100 updates to apply to the wide then came running clean disk with the option to clean the system files to delete history of update files.

    The bug in question should be solved with a daily update of today.

  • Having problems with maintaining device drivers loaded on Windows 7 audit mode

    Trouble in paradise. I'm working on new images of Windows 7 and we're having problems that new pilots appear after the computer has been deployed. I extend to the computer in audit mode and either use an answer file to add drivers or add them manually using pnputil. I add drivers for 5 different Dell Optiplex computers. When you use the answer file the computer back mode audit on this computer, and drivers have been installed. After checking the Device Manager, everything is in place. I also checked the Driverstore folder to make sure they have been installed, they. But when I finished the process sysprep, the image on your computer and place it on another computer, it does not see the new drivers. I still have to add them manually. I did it on five computers with the same result so I know that the pilots were initially loaded correctly. For some reason any after sysprep, it seems to lose track of the path to the drivers when the computer starts in windows setup mode. Once installation is complete, the same missing drivers in Device Manager are still missing. Even if they were there to audit mode. If I send the device missing in Device Manager the driverstore in research, he finds the driver without problem. Here's what I use for sysprep:

    C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep /audit /reboot /unattend:C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\imagetest.xml

    And then run the oobe and generalize the windows sysprep interface options to stop out of audit mode

    I hope that I do just something wrong, it's simple.

  • Problem with dragging the border to resize windows

    It is perhaps a silly question, but it drives me crazy.

    When I resize a window by dragging the border, it adjusts the only border, and on the release of the mouse, it adjusts the content inside the window.

    All my colleagues are able to see the change of content as they resize it the border of a window without letting go of the mouse.

    It became a bit heavy for me because I'm a web developer and I need to see how things change dynamically inside a web browser.

    Help, please.

    In your Start menu, if you search for 'Visual effects', he'll find the control for him.  Click on the result of research called "change the appearance and performance of windows."

    In the next box that opens, select the option "Show window content while dragging" and it should be fixed up.
