How can I fix the download feature?

All of a sudden I can't download files from sites. I get a detailed message that begins with "Adobe Reader cannot view documents in the browser." I used to just hit download on a site that had an article, or a menu, or something that I wanted to download and the download function would begin. I can't do that more. How should I do?

Manipulation of pdf files has changed not so long ago. Apparently, you are on an older version (fx14) of Firefox. Apparently you use OS X 10.8 and which will take place in the current version of Firefox (fx23.0.1 soon fx24).

Please first of all the Firefox update then after return

  • How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7? It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

    How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7?  It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

    What happens when you try?  Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.

    If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem.  But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you.  Here's how:
    1. Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
    2. Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.
    • This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
    If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files.  Here's how:
    1. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
    2. At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .
  • Access to a specific registry key (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\software\Microsoft) causes a BSOD. How can I fix the key?

    Original title: access to a specific registry key generates BSOD. How can I fix the key?

    Scans the registry in XP causes a BSOD. The wrong key is HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\software\Microsoft. Access to manually also causes a BSOD so I can't delete or export it. I do not have a restore point from before the problem started. Other than the access to that key or run a search, XP works well.
    Is it possible to fix this?

    Not having no not this error in my notes (in other words, I've not seen at least 2 times), I Googled it and first fell on a MS KB article:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/810558

    This article includes this statement:

    Contact Microsoft Technical Support to help heal the corruption in the registry.

    I think that is where you are right now, so let's see what is the response of the Microsoft Support Engineer, now that there is more information.  I always love to see what they have to offer first.

    Why and how did you change the system restore to create restore Points 3 a day for 30 days (FYI - that is not the same as a backup).

    If you were to solve some problem at the time, what was the question?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    In the meantime, I would run a chkdsk /r on your volume XP since XP Recovery Console.

    If you are not sure of the SP2 CD you have is an XP bootable installation CD authentic and not some kind of restore CD for the Dell system to 100%, I would recommend this (that I've seen more than 2 times):

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Adobe Acrobat is expensive and allows you to create, edit and view pdf files.

    Assuming that you are referring to the reader, uninstall all the versions of it using the control panel > add or remove programs.  Then either
