• Firefox crashes all the time when I open it. I'm unable to open it in safe mode and reinstall the app did not work.

  I've been running Firefox v. 18.0.2 and for a few days the application continually crashes whenever I open it. I am currently not able to enter in safe mode and it happens to all profiles on the computer. I went through and updated all my Add-ons, but the problem persists. I decided to re - install the application by deleting all the configurations that have been previously configured. I also tried to delete the entire folder to % APPDATA%\Mozilla. Up to this point, I am unable to get Firefox running.

  Try to remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.

• Leave a pc on all the time, as I always close the end of the day?

  I have recently been informed by a friend that computers should be left on at all times rather than close them at the end of the day,

  Apparantley shut down a computer translates the computer run slower?

  Please can someone tell me if this is correct?

  Thank you in advance with any help I can receive

  Your friend is, in my view, perpetuating an urban legend I've met regularly. I always shut my PC down when I'm done with her. Apart from anything else, this is the 'green' thing to do and your electricity bills will be reduced too.

  He move in your PC to parts that wear out because there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine. These moving parts will fail more quickly if you leave the PC on 24/7. Leave the PC 24/7 means that it is necessary to clean more often if dust accumulates at a faster rate, which increases the risk of overheating.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

• Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

  I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

  Hello

  Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
  the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

  Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
  role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

• external hard drive remains unknown and microsoft updates fail all the time.

  Original title:

  drive external hard usb not recognized windows 7 ult in devices like unknwon d Manager

  External case hard IDE usb 2

  Windows 7 ultimate
  in Manger vice of with yellow mark
  not in my computer
  cannot re trying to get my old file format
  not in disk management
  2 microsoft updates fail all the time
  analysis tool I tried and it would not install

  You have two numbers;

  (1) not recognized external - usually drivers are not needed, they are integrated in win7

  (2) windows update fails

  You need to solve (2) before watching (1)

  Disconect all external devices, visit your site from PC manufacturers, or the manufacturer of the motherboard if a generic desktop computer and ensure that all drivers have been updated.

  This in a first time, and the report once that windows update has been resolved

• Satellite U400 - it all the time on Windows 7

  My laptop worked pretty well with Vista and XP it did not sound too, but since I installed Windows7 it her all the time.

  And this is the worst that I know because I like it when it is quiet and no sound, but Windows 7 installed 2 days ago and it's all the time. Almost everything I do and yes I installed all the updates by the drivers of Toshiba.

  Please can someone give some suggestions?

  Thank you.

• I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

  I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

  Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

  If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

  Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

  Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

  Citing at the bottom of the linked article.

  "The question is often asked:" should I disconnect my laptop from the mains when not in service? Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary because as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the load and load the pad will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe. »

• He done wrong to leave the USB cable all the time?

  To clarify, I like this feature of bedside or desktop clock where you tilt the phone L shaped and clock lights up.

  However, I know with other phones, if you leave the USB cable all the time, this is not good for the battery.

  What is the case with the backflip? I guess because Motorola announce this clock function, it's OK to do so.

  It will not harm the phone, it's the same as if you left your phone connected to your A/C charger.   Once it's charged, it no longer attempts to charge the battery.    --- Dan
  

  Thanks for the reply. I should have clicked the 'right answer' not the answer 'useful '.

  I now have the phone plugged in USB a/c or all day as a desk clock and so I can see alerts when they pop up and have no problems at all.

• Firefox sometimes freezes my computer when I go to some sites for about 10 seconds and my hard drive is turned on all the time.

  This happened since I upgraded Firefox 3.6 Firefox 18 when it was released in the 23.0.1 that I have right now. When I go on some heavy such as yahoo news, browser specific websites and my computer will be blocked for about 10 seconds while my HDD is on all the time and the only info on: crashes gives me a link to a page called limitation, which apparently no longer exists. It happens that its manual or automatic cache on size and only seems to happen when its max cache. Depending on the subject: crashes, it happened only 4 times before I went from 3.6 to 18.

  Ive tried turning almost all my addons turned off and that did not work, Ive had harware acceleration turned off for a long time if it's not that. I still have all my plugins off except flash and it does not have anything to do with flash. The report of health of firefox it also count as an accident.

  I worked in fact observe that its almost always the comment system on the pages of Web sites such as disqus. IM blocking them just through them with ghostery and anti-ad element hider.
