I keep getting sent to websites weird I never asked for and don't recognize. Is it a Firefox problem or a Google problem, or a problem of gremlin? He recently got a lot worse. Sometimes I can't back out of it and I reboot everything.

This happens sometimes when I'm on a website of my choice or Google. I use Google as my search engine. It's really strange to ask to go on a single page and finish on something out of left field. Today, for the first time I had to close Firefox and start all over again. Please do not hesitate to email with any questions. I don't know what else to say.

Kathleen, it sounds like a horse of Trojan or other malware. You should try to run a Malware Cleaner and whatever anti-virus software you have installed.

Also check Firefox-> Add-ons-> Extensions and remove anything you didn't put there yourself! Good luck.

    I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?

    Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.

    (1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings

    That will make the iPhone as new.  Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup.  You can then restore the scheduled backup.

  • Why do I keep getting sent to sign in page?

    I keep getting directed to sign in page for Firefox. I wanted to try Firefox. I did and it didn't work. Way too complicated for something simple. I'll have to stick with internet explorer, unfortunately. I tried.

    You make the point in Thunderbird. but I think that the issue on Firefox.

    The question may be because of your corrupt cookie (cookies.sqlite) file

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

    You can also check whether DOM Storage is enabled.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

  • Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI".

    Hello

    Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI". Y at - it solution or another method?

    Hi ErikLee,

    Do you have MS Outlook installed on your computer?

    Windows mail import and export opportunities are limited to an Outlook .pst file or an Exchange Server mailbox. They are available only if MS Outlook is installed.
    If MS Outlook is not installed and you start an import or export action, the necessary support files are not present for Windows mail complete the operation. Then I suggest you to install Outlook temporarily and see if the problem is resolved.

    Follow the instructions below and check if the problem is resolved.

    1. reboot your computer, and then start Windows Mail.
    2. on the Tools menu, click Options.
    3. in the connection tab, click on edit to open the Internet Properties dialog box.
    4. in the tab programs, click on an application other than Windows mail e-mail in the e-mail list. Click on apply and then click OK.
    5. click OK again to close the Options dialog box.
    6. exit Windows mail and restart Windows mail.

    If this does not work, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail to import or export messages that may help you resolve the issue.

    To download Windows Live Mail, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

    For more information about Windows Live Mail, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
