Is there a way to tell if my computer is using Silverlight?

My computer is his very last breath. My hard drive is so full I have to delete some stuff (I recently spilled hundreds of files, which freed 15 GB.) I tried to remove programs at random, so that I didn't need. It turns out that Microsoft Silverlight is, by far, the most extensive program on my computer and I have no idea what it actually does. I read that some websites need to view them (don't know if he specifically for video or other features.) Is there a way to see if this program is actually be consulted and used? Obviously, if I need it, I'll keep it, but I'd be happy to remove it if it is not really used.

Silverlight was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe Flash.  Never, it was used on some web sites of Microsoft.

Microsoft finally gave up and announced the end of life of Silverlight 5 in 2012. In 2013, Microsoft announced that they had stopped the development of Silverlight, with the exception of patches and bug fixes. Microsoft has fixed the date of end of support for Silverlight 5 October 2021. Silverlight is no longer supported in Google Chrome since September 2015. Given that the plugins are not supported by Microsoft Edge, it also does not support Silverlight. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Silverlight

Bottom line: go ahead and uninstall.  Chances are that you will never miss it.

  • Is there a way to recover the deleted files without using any software?

    Is there a way to recover the deleted files without using any software?

    Is there a way to recover the deleted files without using any software?

    # Software is necessary.

    First check the recylcl tray. If she isn't here, read the following:

    "Deleting" a file does not delete actually it brand just space be used. There are third-party programs that can sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and this makes the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent, if you try it again immediately after deleting it and quickly down. If you have used the computer since then (for example to read this answer and write that question), your chances may be very weak now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop using the computer in question immediately, if you haven't done so already. Download an undelete program (in here is one: http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html but there are many other choice; do a search) on a friend's computer and bring it to you on a diskette, CD, or drive to the thumb.

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the drive to a professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work in your case.

  • Are there other ways to install debugging other than its use qde token

    Hi all

    Currently I use q to install my token of debugging on the phone.

    Are there other ways to install the debugging token without using the QDE?

    Thanks in advance.

    jessica99327, there is an alternative. Looks like you can learn how to use the "draft" mode in the supplier portal.

    In a Word, instead of using chips debugging, you can create a copy of the signed receipt of your application. You download which, at the entrance of product that you create for your application in the portal provider as a new version. You attach the .bar file as you normally would, but after you save the new version you do NOT submit them as you would for a final version. It will be marked as a 'project' instead.

    Now, you use the 'sandbox' feature in the supplier portal to add emails your testers as sandbox accounts BBID to sand. (In the main menu in the provider portal.) These users must then put their devices in development Mode, and then run BlackBerry World. They slip down to obtain the settings menu of the application, select the page in development Mode that should be visible and enter the SKU or product id (that you provide) to the application under test.

    They should then see entry application (this may take a few hours before it is visible, when you perform this operation for the first time) and can hit download (without having to pay for it). It will install and should work exactly as he would have if you had released it and that he had bought the app.

    There should be multiple threads in the BlackBerry World Development forum which describe this in detail or answer the questions about it, if you try this and need more help.

  • Is there a way to force the href = "mailto: to use the default email client"

    I would use the href = "" mailto: "in my site Web automatically opens an email but the end user receives the message"there is no associated messaging program to perform the action requested... " »

    Is there a way to force to the mailto to use the, and the user's default e-mail client?

    Thank you for your help

    Hi James -.

    This is the default behavior of browsers when you handle the mailto link.

    Please keep in mind almost half of Web site visitors do not have an email client because they use mobile devices or computers in public or web-based email like Gmail, messaging, MSN etc.

    Please do not feed the spammers robots. Recommended is to use a HTML element 'form' in conjunction with a script of processing forms aside server. Ask your webhost if they provide one for you.

  • is there a way to tell if you are using Web Start or standalone

    Hello

    I'm working on a program that can be run in stand-alone mode or Web Start. Is there a way I can tell the code inside how I am?

    The reason why I asked is because if I'm in the Web Start mode I store files using the api PersistenceService... but of course it won't work in stand-alone mode. So in stand-alone mode, I just want to store in the working directory.


    Thank you

    Is there an easy way to tell how the paths I have selected in Illustrator CS4?

    Go to window > Document Info, in the drop down menu on the side right ensure selection only and objects are checked. If the lines (and only the lines you want to count) are selected, the number of lines will appear next to paths in the palette.

  • is there a way to tell if the person calling me is really using an iPhone.

    A person calls me a phone which, said, is an iPhone, yet when I text, my outgoing text does not appear in blue, what he does with everyone who has an iPhone.   In addition, I get the text of the message undeliverable.  So my questions are: 1) is there a way for me to verify that the person calling is the use of an iPhone, and 2) if indeed it is an iPhone, why the text would not delivered?  Even if the person was using a droid, the text should go.

    There is no way to determine what type of phone a person uses when they call you. As iMessage versus SMS is, if the person who uses an iPhone does not choose to have iMessage activated, so you would not get the opportunity to send a message as an iMessage, he would send as a normal SMS. If the message is not delivered, it could be for any number of reasons, connection problems, the lack of a SMS plan on one of the devices, etc. Can send you a SMS? If so, can answer you?

    Is there a way to prevent mail iPad with former winners like suggestions for email addresses?

    You cannot stop suggestions. Usually, you can remove but I just checked and I don't know if it is still possible.

  • Is there a way to quickly check that your application uses the latest software?

    Basically what the subject says:

    Is there a way to quickly check that the last api/software uses your application without having to go through all of your classes and check manually.

    For example if I had an app that used just a 'Interface Transport' (from API 4.0) and a 'border' (from the API 4.6), he said that the latest version of the software that I use is 4.6.

    Thank you.

    Probably not as fast as you want, but you could just wrap it up against different JREs and see where it gives you an error.

  • Is there a way to find which object DB is used in which all pages

    Hi all

    Is there a way by which we can find database objects all serve them in which all pages in an Application. Our Application is large enough and has many pages, so is there any report as a feature where I can check the DB of the objects used on each page or any underlying view where you can get this information.


    Thank you
    Vikas

    Hi Vikas,

    There are a couple of APEX views that provide you with this information.
    If you go to home > utilities > Application Express views
    more views may be useful:
    -APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_DB_ITEMS
    -APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_PROC

    There are a few others (e.g. if make you use of tables flash interactive reports etc.) but if you start with the above, you'll have a good starting point.

    Kind regards

  • Is there a way to tell Firefox to reload a page every time? I am a web designer and need to see what it looks like every time I open the pages that I do.

    In Internet Explorer, you can configure the program to reload a web page each time you visit a page. I can't find a way to do it in FF. I prefer to only reload the Web sites that I work on rather than on the web, but it's probably not possible with any browser.

    Win 7 - x 64
    16 GB OF RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 5670

    Thanks for any help one can offer!

    You can also reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)
