  • Why can't I sign into my gmail? I tried all the suggestions posted including clear cookies and cache.

    I tried all the options on this site and nothing works. I can get my mail on google chrome and internet explore, but not on firefox, WHY?

    It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clear cookies does not work.

    Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookies as cookies.sqlite - journal in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.

  • I can't get my Windows Firewall to use the recommended settings. I tried all the fixes. I am running Windows 7 ultimate x 64 and MSE.

    I had this problem for about 2 months. It started when my Dell Inspiron 580 s have been infected. Tried for several days to system clean up but could not. I took my tech, very good and reliable man, and he was even coming. He has COMPLETELY reformatted my hard drive and we have installed a new Version of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Computer works fine. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and also check with Malwarebytes. I keep all my software up to date and check DAILY.

    I have tried everything I know, and my tech guy is sick, and I can't get Windows 7 to run the recommended settings. He always tells me to update and I do, over and over again with the same result. Help, please.

    Hello
    Follow these instructions to fix the Windows Firewall:

  • I can't open pdf files in firefox, and I tried all the solutions proposed by others. How can I reactivate pdf in firefox?

    I have recently switched to Firefox to Google Chrome, and I find that I can't open all PDFs from the web in some way in Firefox. I can't download them and open them in Adobe Reader and I can't preview them in Firefox, or I can use the plugin from Adobe. I tried to use the solutions posed by users on this site, but none of them have worked. Whenever I have an amendment to the settings to try to resolve this problem, change never allows me to view the pdf file, and the setting reverts to the previous setting after the browser is restarted. I don't like how to display the file, but I need to be be able to see a preview or I need to be able to download it.

    I use an adobe download add-on, 3.0.0.2, and I have disabled. Now, I can actually open pdf files in my browser shows a preview, or download them as I see fit. Thank you!

    But clearly, there is an error with the add-on.

  • I can't get Flash 11.3 to work after trying all the workaround solutions, including the installation of the earlier version.

    I'm more frustrated by this Flash show. I use Windows 7 with a 64-bit processor. the computer has two users, the administrator, and myself. When 11.3 updated Flash Player, I noticed that I couldn't use Flash in all cases with Firefox, not only videos. I have disabled the plugin in real time on my account and the administrator account (I have admin access; that is, I have his password so I can make changes on my account when the dialog box appears, or I can connect as long as him and make changes).

    I went to the workaround and downloaded the uninstaller and got the archived 11.202 version.  I was able to uninstall and install the archived version on my account, but when he signs in to his account, Flash doesn't work. I run Firefox on my account and he runs IE 8 on his account. We both have all of our passwords stored in our respective browsers, so me using IE or him using Firefox until this is sorted out is out of the question.  What appears to be happening is when I install the archived 11.202 on my account, it doesn't work for IE 8 on his account but when I sign into the administrator account and uninstall and reinstall the 11.202 it doesn't show up on my account.  Right now, we have reverted to 11.3 so that Flash works for him but I not only cannot see videos, I cannot use any instance of Flash on my account. When is Adobe either going to ship a fix that works with Firefox or barring that, how can I get the archived 11.202 installed so that it works on both accounts, with Firefox and IE8?
    

    Thank you very much, this has been useful.

  • The start menu has disappeared from the computer... With explore 7 and the upper part is not constant either. No miracle solution?

    The start menu can only be achieved by using ctrl and esc.  Sometimes, it would be great if they kept things simple.

    Hello coinfused,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    The taskbar is visible? Usually when you ctrl + esc and get the start menu, it means that the hide feature is automatically enabled for the taskbar.

    ·         Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen, the taskbar expected popup.

    ·         Right-click on the taskbar visible now and left click on properties.

    ·         Search for auto-hide the taskbar, uncheck the box in the box and click ok.

    Hope this helps

  • icons have left the bottom of my Start menu are now on the side how to make their return to the bottom of the screen

    the bar of startup tasks, icons are passed down, to the side how can I move them back down

    Right-click on an empty spot in the taskbar, and then select Properties.

    See if the taskbar is locked, mark next to registration, if so unlock it with a check, and click on apply.

    Then select the location of it and apply, then block the taskbar.

    If you want to move the icons in the taskbar, unlock it again and then move the icons autour, then relock

    Other options on the start menu are located in the start menu tab in the Properties section.

  • I can't update, get the same msg error 800b0100 and we tried all the suggestions I can do?

    I tried all the suggestions, but I was not able to solve the problem.

    Hello Deborah 755,.

    Thanks for posting that question you in the Microsoft Community. According to the description of the problem, you are not able to install the updates. Provide the following information:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         (Numbers KB) updates you install?

    ·         The issue is limited to a particular update?

    ·         You use a third-party security software?

    ·         Have what troubleshooting measures you tried?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Place the computer in a clean bootState to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 of section to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

  • The Start Menu folder is on the desktop, how to get away from this?

    I use Windows Vista, packs latest.

    Somehow, my start folder Menu has been linked directly to do my office.  There is a folder (Start Menu) on the desktop which cannot be deleted and can be moved to any other place, other than just another post on the desktop itself.

    I have the program set to the Classic Style button and Start Menu now appears above the horizontal line that separates the programs, Documents, etc., other links.  I want her to be out there, as this seems to be a kind of vicious circle.

    I have absolutely no idea of what I can pushed have obtained this file where it is.  What should I do?

    Thank you.

    You know what?  After playing with him for a while, I just jumped start "real" of the Classic Mode to normal mode (for Vista), and then he jumped to classic.  Solved the problem.  I do not know how, why, I didn't even do it intentionally.

    I am completely free of malware, etc.

    Thanks for the help, however.
