I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to
If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello
Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.
Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?
Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.
Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

I want to delete old backup files. Some of these files have a virus in them. If I completely delete these files and run a new backup it will accomplish what I want.
I asked a similar question on the removal of all my backup files in my hard drive external and asked if I would get a full file backup or just backup incemental.
I asked this question to Windows Vista, IT Pro.
The answer is:
Windows uses something known as bits archive to determine if changes have been
to files.if you completely delete the contents of the backup media, then it should do a full backup has the following appendix, because at that time, windows has nothing to compare data from the computer with.Based on the response I received, you should have a backup of files complete "sound".

Until I upgraded to Windowsw 7, Firefox used to take me directly to my Yahoo site. Why he does not now? I used to really love Firefox, but I'm completely frustrated just trying to get the answer to this question. Maybe I should just ask, "How do we uninstall it? But I would like to be able to use Firefox like I did before. Thank you
[email protected]Hi peggkel,
You say that you just want to change your homepage to Yahoo? Do not worry, it is quite easy! You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.
If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.
Hope this helps!

I created a form to complete 4 page in Acrobat. I would like to place a button at the bottom of page 4 when you click inserts another copy of the form in the existing file. I want the user to have the ability to easily create multiple copies of the same 4 pages in a single file. It is possible with Acrobat? I use a PC.
It is possible using models and JavaScript, but if it is to work with the player, users will need to use the desktop version (Windows/Mac) of 11 Reader or CD player. Here is a link to an older article which explains the basics: Planet PDF - a lesson in the templates for Adobe Acrobat
Note that this is a bit outdated, but it should help you get started. If you have any other questions, post them in the Acrobat JavaScript here forum: JavaScript
