Original title: privacy
My wifi network tells me it is not secure and it is on the public network. How can I make private?
You must go into the router settings to change that. What brand/model is your router? If it is integrated into your modem?
You must set a network password that prevents people without using your wireless network.

Hi Phil.Ganchev,Using a laptop or a desktop computer?The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
(b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.
c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.(Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)Reference:Power plans: frequently asked questions

On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backupThis may be considered to be solve my problem.
I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
Thank you for all your help and advice. -

Hey xlucy-
Go to Tools-> options and on the Security tab click on passwords saved. This will give you a list of sites that you have saved a password. Just find Facebook and delete this entry.

Re: Satellite A300 - how can I make the webcam work on Win7
Hello everyone.
I had Win Vista installed on this Satellite A300 and it worked well.
I had no problem at all.Then I moved to Win7 and now I'm going through the test of the work of webcam.
I tried to install all types of drivers, even those for A500, but it would be of no use.So, how can I make the webcam work on my A300?
I've tried everything, even the installation of Ubuntu on this laptop and still it wouldn't work. If this is your interest, I'm under Win7 in Spanish, x 32, Home Edition.
I really need your help here, please, I beg you, I spent 5 days ago almost try ANYTHING!
And yet, I get the message after each installation/reboot of the: "the camara web esta disabled o ha Fall.» "Por favor, it check las web camara su configs", which would result in something like "the webcam is disabled or it has failed. Please check the configuration of your webcam. I've been browsing the forum for related issues, but I have not found any solution :(Thanks in advance,
Ozma.
Hello

My 6s iphone shows that I have an unread email. I have read and open any emails in my Inbox. How can I make the 1 red go?
Go to settings > Mail, Contacts, calendars > press e-mail account. Put the Mail DISABLE (display white side). To return to the home screen (it's essential!). Phone power off. Turn the phone to power back on. Mail switch must stay off - if enabled, you will need to repeat this process. If it is disabled, you did it right - turn it on and the 'ghost' post should have gone - for now. That they will probably come back until this bug is fixed permanently.

Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
