  • How to stop the "sweetpacks" opens automatically on the tabs?

    When I open additional tabs, the new tab automatically displays the URL of the sweetpack and sweetpack search engine. I uninstalled the program and cookie associated with sweetpacks. There is no associated with sweetpacks modules or plugins. I am a new user of firefox download firefox yesterday. The engine sweepacks of research seems to have come with the download of firefox. How can I get rid of sweetpacks?

    Always download Firefox from the official site on www.mozilla.org. If this is where you have Firefox, then the malicious software was already on your system and it hung in Firefox, when he started.

    The latter seems likely, given that you have not enabled malicious extensions. Read the following article. Remember to update the various anti-malware applications before you scan your system.

    If this does not resolve the problem, visit a forum specializing in the removal of malware.

  • How to stop the "Microsoft" folder opens at startup

    Whenever I start my computer, "C:\Program Files\Microsoft" opens. I went through each item, start nothing leading to this path. (msconfig, registry, and "Startup" in "Programs" folder.) Anyone know how to stop the start to the top of the file?

    You are really the way strong, but as long you are looking at the registry "Run" keys, make sure that the names of path for various startup items are surrounded by double quotes.

    I can find no documentation final for this - and there is certainly some entries in my key Run that have spaces in them, but are not surrounded by double quotes - but in general, Windows behaves better if you either do not use characters such as spaces or surround the path with quotation marks name.

    For example:

    "C:\Program Files\Fichiers Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe"

    Because registry Analyzer seems to know the space in Program Files, and given your statement that the problem started when you installed Office, I suggest looking for an entry that starts C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\

    If you find such an entry without quotes, modify to add and see if the problem goes away.

    In the future, Autoruns is an easier way to find the startup entries... and it shows many places more than just two Run keys you watched.

  • How to stop the Popup Adobe when printing?

    I am constantly creating PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. Create from several programs: Office Word, Excel, Paint, Etc. as well as AutoCADD.  I create them using Adobe as a printer, so printing to PDF. Once the PDF has been created since the other program via Adobe printing, the new PDF opens for viewing. I'm ok with that; However I then click on another program and after a few seconds the PDF file appears again. Even if I close a few seconds later, he appears again. When I print several sheets of a program, I jump back and the popup function slows me down up to big-time or cause me to spoil the files I work with.

    How to stop the Popup from Adobe?

    You must check the program setting Distiller, the Adobe PDF printer properties and Acrobat PDF conversion settings and disable the "view PDF results.

    The problem:

    1. at the exit of pressing my Vi does not stop.

    Reason: my sub vi is still running.

    Need solution : How tp stop the two loops together using the exit button.

    StateMachine P.S:1.My is inside a while loop and while loop runs inside my sub vi also.

    2. both the loops are parallel, since I'm on queues in it.

    2. both the loops are parallel, since I'm on queues in it.

    There are many ways, depending on your architecture.

    Can pass you a message from out of your event loop to your another loop on the queue?

    Another way is to use a global Boolean variable 'Stop' and use it in your second loop exit condition. Set it in the event loop when you want to stop the program.

    The producer consumer example stops the second loop by closing the queue during the first loop stops and then to capture the error when the second loop trying to read the queue.
