• Lately on the Web, pdf files are not correctly; What is the problem and how can I fix this so I don't have to use IE?

  I am a teacher and often need to open the PDF files of academic electronic databases of journal articles. In the last two or three weeks, when I try to do it using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf display and the rest are empty. In addition, a bar appears in the upper part with the message "this pdf file cannot be displayed properly." So I had to switch to Internet Explorer to open files and do my research. What happens and how can I fix this problem so that you can open PDFs from the Web in Firefox and ask them to work correctly?

  2. go to:
  \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\c9i1rqwk.default\bookmarkbackups C:\Windows.old\Users\ < yourusername >

  3. I copied the newest .json file from here to my office

  4. open Firefox, then open the bookmarks library

  5. click on import and backup, and then restore, then "Choose file". Identify the .json your desktop file.

  That's what me sorted. If all goes well it can help you.

  Hello

  Did you ever remove the Malware?

  Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

• The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

  OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

  Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

  I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

  Common guys...
  Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

  Here are some solutions:
  Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

  Solution 1: Use CMD.
  0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
  1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  2 - go to the processes tab.
  3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
  5 type CMD, and then click OK.
  6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
  -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
  -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
  -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
  -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

  Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
  0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
  1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
  2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  3 - go to the processes tab.
  4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
  Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

  Solution 3: Do it yourself!
  If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
  Here is an example:
  MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
  This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

  I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
  Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

None of my .exe files will open directly, they make me choose what program to open it with. Some of them make me reinstall the program every time. Why my .exe files are messy?

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

  You may need to do a file at a time.
