How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?
Question
I have another type of problem with Firefox
Description
Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?
Version of Firefox
3.6.3
Operating system
Windows XP
User Agent
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Plugins installed
- npmnqmp - 989898989877
- NP-mswmp
- Adobe PDF plugin for Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2.
- Default plugin
- Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
- Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
- Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/
You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).
If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.
Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

How can Flash my LG Smart TV with support for WebOS? Can someone help me with this problem of support?
Flash Player is not supported on WebOS (see Adobe Flash Player |) Technical for supported platforms). I'm not aware of any solution to read content Flash on WebOS. One option is to connect your computer to your TV with an HDMI cable.

How to disable the "Insert smart card" dialog box keeps appearing after the connection?
Running Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop Dell which includes and integrated smart card reader. My configuration does not require a smart card to log on. I was wondering if the smart card reader has worked, I plugged a card chip used on another system. The driver is installed automatically, so it appears the drive works.
Now, whenever I log in, the "Insert smart card" dialog box is displayed. If I cancel or close the box, he continues to reappear every few seconds. How to disable this behavior?
Update: this is somehow connected to Outlook 2003. I have 4 different e-mail accounts. The "Insert smart card" box appears only when checking for my att account (yahoo), which is configured by using POP3.
Go to the Services.msc and check the settings for the smartcard (manual test) service.

The position of the OP, have been reported since a lot of this problem on the some notebooks Dell and HP. There are a few reports that a replacement of the motherboard fixed the problem and the other that the relocation of a certain connector (no mention of exaclly one that) solves the problem. Direct contact with the manufacturer of the laptop computer, Dell or HP wether, might be useful. Try a follow-up if you have already made contact.

How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3Given a PC without hard disk...How can you use a flash drive instead?So, indeed, the USB key works as an SSD...I saw online options that gives partial functionality of the system... and an option that is more than $100 (more than the system's worth)...None of these options are acceptable in the circumstances.It is an effort to create a machine for a particular use, built from a recycled pc for which hard drive was removed and destroyed by the original owner...The criterion is that it must work just like it was a mechanical drive running xp pro sp3 with all updates, etc...Thanks for any help.
You can not install XP on a Flash as his unsupported drive. Your only two options are a traditional hard drive or Solid State Drive (SSD).

My monitor has started to Flash a few days ago... now that's for most of the colored lines... I updated the NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA Geforce 8400GS from NVIDIA site and it improved for a while, but now he's back. I got tired of another working monitor and the same thing happened so I think that this has to do with the video card. Help, please.

Original title: files missing error
Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe. Everything started after I ran scan and scan deleted some files infected. However, I can use the system. Where and how to download the missing files? Or how the system does not deliver messages?
Simon
Two of the three files are probably part of the malware infection and not the files infected. The third is probably the same details in this link:
http://www.Runscanner.NET/file/Hkcmd.exe.htmlTo identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspxWith Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.
Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.
