How to restore Google as my default search without having to reset the Search Options every day?

I see that other people have this very annoying problem. Whenever I restart my computer, Firefox become my default Google search Yahoo. It is irritating as hell and totally unnecessary.

Please tell me, IN the LANGUAGE of the LAYMAN, why this happens and how to fix it.

If this problem occurs only after you stop and start Windows back up again, it does not occur if you just quit Firefox and start Firefox back up again?

Given that Firefox does not have its own settings of default search engine, the more likely culprits would be:

(1) utility software like CCleaner which can be planned to serve the various data browser at startup. You use something like this? If you do, go into the settings and set it to not to touch any data of Firefox.

(2) other software wishing to perform searches of Yahoo! with a special address which gives a bouncing effect to the Publisher of this software.

To get an idea of who could be the culprit, you can copy the address in the address bar when viewing a Yahoo! results page and paste it into a response.

Standard address using the Firefox built-in Yahoo search plugin:

https://search.Yahoo. com/yhs/research? p = firefox & ie = UTF-8 &hspart = mozilla & hsimp = yhs-001

Your results page of address list other parameters?

If you find that you are losing your search engine preference whenever you exit Firefox and start Firefox (no restart of Windows), see this article for suggested troubleshooting steps: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  • How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

    Hello

    I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

    1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

    I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

    Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

    Hello!

    The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

    Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
    But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

    Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

  • If Google is my default search, can I go and change it if I want to do a search for GMaps; only the default is in the search drop-down list.

    If Google is my default search, can I go and change it if I want to do a search for GMaps; only the default is in the search drop-down list.
    So I have to change the default to Google Maps then back to Google to search for one.

    I have it! It's the topic: config "hiddenoneoffs" where the 3 elements of google, maps and mcafee have been included. There was no space between Google and maps. I put one in from Google Maps. She appeared in the first box-ff, but not sure about the search in the second time zone. I went back to the subject: one-offs. Safe search was shown with a space after Secure. I took out the space. Safe search arose in the 2nd single search box!
    Weird! This is contrary to how they show in the search parameters.
    Can I have messed that when Firefox has been reset all the search engines on an update, but I do not.
    Either incidentally, I tried to re-installation characteristic but the file comes down as a .dmg that I'm not familiar with and don't apparently is 8.0 to win because he couldn't open it. Thank you once again.

  • How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    This setting should be preserved, once you set it... so I'm not sure why you have to define every time...

    Then... Make sure that you put on ALL the tools of the art of logic in the preferences of LPX...

    Otherwise... you may need to reset the prefs of LPX... Put all the Tools Advanced again and the other preferences you have set... and see if that fixes things for you...

    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not affect your media files. To reset your settings preferences of the user to Logic Pro X to their original state, do the following:

    1. Logic Pro X to quit smoking
    2. In the Finder, select go to folder menu reach.
    3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the field 'go to folder '.
    4. Press the Go button.
    5. Delete the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you set custom shortcuts, it will reset to the default values. You can export your custom key as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X user manual for details on how to do this.
    6. If you are having problems with a control surface in Logic Pro X, you can also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file in the Preferences folder.
    7. Restart the computer.

    Note: If you cannot find the files listed above, you don't follow the instructions properly!

  • How can I configure a new TimeCapsule for an existing network without having to activate the internal networks?

    I tried to go in advance and choose "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network", but it keeps defaulting to 'add a new network '.

    without having to activate the internal networks?

    "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network.

    You cannot add a TC in an existing network, if there is.

    You must configure the TC for the network.

    It keeps default back to "add a new network.

    So, it's OK... The TC is part of an existing network or makes a new.

    You must connect to the TC network... either wireless or ethernet.

    However, you can manually configure the TC simply plug ethernet for example.

    See, cable using Time Capsule for Mac for backup only.

    The same can be done for the wireless... but a TC is really the bad device for backups if you don't have a network... It's cheaper, faster and more reliable by using a USB key.

  • How to move a local network printer without having to reinstall the drivers

    Hello

    Is it possible to change a printer to a network printer on a local printer without having to reinstall the printer drivers?

    The computer on which the printer (a Lanier LP116c PCL 5 c) is currently connected [directly] is running Win XP.  It is a stand-alone computer without any connectivity; network, internet ect.   He has no printer drivers installed because the computer had been connected to another computer by using working groups and was able to print at the Lanier through working groups.  But now that there is no longer connected to the 'network', but rather directly connected to the printer, it will not be printed.

    I tried to change the properties of the driver to "tell the computer" that the printer is now connected directly however when I try to open the properties I: "printer properties cannot be displayed.  The print spooler service is not running.

    How to 'know the computer' that the printer is now connected directly without having to reinstall the dirivers?

    Thank you!

    Carrie

    You have two questions.  One is assigning the correct port for the printer and the other is fixing what is originally the print spooler service to not run.

    As much as I can give you guidelines on how solve the second problem, it will be much easier for you to uninstall and reinstall the printer (once the print spooler works again) that in order to create a "USB virtual port" which is what needs to be done unless the computer was once a printer connected by USB is installed.

    Often, but not always, an order print spooler is the result of a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

    AntiMailware MalwareBytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

    Cleaning of printers

    NOTE: If you have ever had (but retired) a Lexmark or Dell - badged Lexmark printer installed, the command "net start spooler" to step below may fail.  In this case, type the following line in the black command prompt window and then type the command "net start spooler" again:

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Note that there is no space before the =

    If still no joy, use the alternative method that is linked below.

    A. Clean on print jobs pending

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
    net start spooler
    output

    B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.

    Alternative to the method of his first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

    Once the print spooler has started, click Start > printers and faxes, right click on the Lanier printer icon and select properties and select the Ports tab.  If you already have a USB connected printer installed on this computer, there should be a port named USBnnn.  If there is, check the box and OK your way out and your printer should now print when connected by USB.  If there is no USB port listed, then do the reinstall as explained in an Article.  The driver install package available here should create and install the USB port for you: http://www.lanier.com/downloads/driverFrame.aspx?path=http://support.aficio.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/lan_u/model/c30e/c30een.htm
