I run Windows 7 and all of a sudden, I lost the ability to make a new folder. That's happened? I'm pretty sure that the problem is in the registry and probably happened when I uninstalled a program. How can I fix it?
You have installed chrome? It's looking like a recent update of chromium may be the cause. Here are two patches.

I am running Windows XP and suddenly find that Firefox fills my whole screen. Of course I pressed a key combination that has created this problem, but I can't get it back to normal. The Firefox toolbars at the top of the screen disappeared and so I can't access my favorites. The windows at the bottom of the screen status bar disappeared. Help, please!
Apparently, you have set Firefox to auto update. He has probably updated to the new version, Firefox 4.0.
To check if this is true, go to your bar menu at the top of the screen. If you don't see the menu bar, you can activate it by right clicking on an empty area in the upper part. Of this, you should see the menu bar, toolbar Tools Navigation, Bookmarks Toolbar, toolbar add-on, etc.. Click on those you want to activate.
Once this is done, you can check your plugins to make sure they are up-to-date with the latest security patches.
Please come back here and click on solved if it solves your problem, so that others with the same problem can find the answer quickly.

Today, I have improved my final from Windows 7 to Windows 8 pro.
(1) is Windows Defender, it works both as the same as MacAfee antivirus software?
(2) if I use windows defender in windows 8 pro, do you think that I still need 3rd party antivirus software to protect against viruses and malware?
(3) can I activate and simultaneously run 3rd party software [McAfee] antivirus and windows Defender 8?
(1) # Windows Defender is an anti-spyware, and Mcafee's anti-virus.
(2) Yes
(3) Yes

I reinstalled the version 4.01 thinking 5.0 could be the problem. No difference. On the same pages, IE shows no problem.
This may be due to a problem with the profile for your monitor screen colors or color profiles embedded in images.
You can disable color management to test this.
You can set the pref to 0 on the subject gfx.color_management.mode: configuration page to disable color management.
You have to close and restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.See:

Hi Lince,
Please answer this question to get more clarity on this issue.

If you are referring to the Mail application, then by saving an attachment of an e-mail can be done in a folder on the computer. So, if you want to create a new folder to save the file attachment, you must create it before you download the attachment of the e-mail.

my mother has two computers that are running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other. We network cables and such can I connect the on computers and share information from one to the other?
Hello
To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
These are special cables, but they are not expensive.(You can configure a network or a host group (see below))
Connect two computers using a crossover cable (XP - Windows 7 may be the same)

Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled. I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated. I read related security problems, but I have not found a match. I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach. It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update. «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»
When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.
Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."
Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.
Norman
When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer. Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance. I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.
also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools. They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.
I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message. I ran disk cleanup, disk defragmentation and cleaned up all the old files and still only have 793 MB free on GB total 103. I noticed that my 6.0.6002.18005_001c11ba_blobs.bin file takes 54.9 GB of space. In research, it seems that it is safe to delete this file--is that true? If so, how? It seems that I need permission to do this.
To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.
Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.
You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.
You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.
Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.
