  According to the specifications of your system, hard drives on your system are disks IDE (not the SATA drives).

  Sometimes the Interface IDE mode can change from DMA mode to PIO mode and when that happens, things sudden. run very slowly, but it is easy to check and adjust if you need to.

  Here's how:

  If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to check the channel Transfer Mode IDE is set to something like DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.
    
  Don't forget: PIO is the slowest, DMA is faster.

  It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.

  To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\System32\devmgmt.msc

  Click OK.

  Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Each right click and choose Properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops.

  Faster selection will always be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA DMA5, UDMA, etc.).  If it is PIO, change it to DMA.
    
  If you are unsure of what you see after return of help and advice.
    
  If you make settings, restart and check the settings again to make sure that any change stick.

• How to get a desktop icon to open enlarged using IE8?

  OK, I'm back with the eternal question. How can I get an icon of Web site that is saved on my desktop to open in a maximized State? I'm using IE8 and Vista 64-bit. Internet Explorer window opens now enlarged very well, but all of the icons that I save on my desktop have no function enlarge when I right click the icon. All previous efforts such as you drag the image up, then close it while holding down the control key didn't work. I installed a third-party program, "Autosizer", which works fine until the last round of Windows updates. Now it has compatibility problems, so I had to uninstall this program. Microsoft has a fix yet? Help, please.

  Charita142,

  This procedure works perfectly for almost any version of Windows, including Windows 7. I just bought a computer with Windows 7 and had the same problem, but I set myself for this procedure. Here it is again. This should do it for you as long as long as you follow the steps correctly. Now all Windows IE to open come expanded no matter what I use to open them. I use the right-click of the links opening in a new window all the time and now they are all open. It is true of all the desktop icons that I do for Web pages as well as for all the shortcuts located in the taskbar. Everything works fine now. The funny part is that the solution to this problem is exactly the same as it was for XP or Vista. I think we just were we not followed the steps correctly, but in any case, here is the solution:

  Open a Web page. Soft at full size. Do not use to maximize.
  Choose any link on this Web page and right click > open in a new window.
  Stretch this second window to the size desired-do not use maximize.
  Close the first window of IE. Then close this second resized window.

  This is exactly as it was in previous versions of Windows. It worked perfectly for me. Good luck with it.

• System and the desktop icons disappear

  Running own Win7 64 bit home edition, no problem for months and now my desktop icons and system have disappeared.  I'm the administrator on the system, but have more rights to enable or disable the system icons, programs 'research' scan is no longer the PC, it goes directly to a google search engine.  Help, please!

  I had shortcuts to programs disappear from the Office a few times of system.
  Computer
  Control Panel
  Programs of devices &
  and 3 MS games (Freecell, Solitaire, Mahjong)
   
  So now, I keep a copy of these shortcuts in another folder on the desktop, so they can be replaced quickly.
   
  It seems to be connected to this...
  "If you create shortcuts from desktop to removable storage locations such as NAS icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in scheduling the task to clean up unused or broken links.

  To prevent the currently running task you must disable the task in the Task Scheduler: Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Task Scheduler
  Expand the tree in the left pane until you get to the Task Scheduler Library-Microsoft-Windows-diagnosis.
  In the right pane, right-click the named scheduled task and click on disable. »

• When I click on a desktop icon it always opens as a minmize. How do I open it to enlarge the form

  I use windows 8 in a new Dell computer. There are 40 + icons on the desktop and when I click on a desktop icon that it always opens minimize the form. How do I open it to enlarge the form?

  Hi, Philippe A.Morrissette,.

  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you try to open the desktop icons to enlarge the form.

  Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned from the link and later a update on the State of the question.

  Method 1: No matter what shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  Method 2: Also try to grab the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen.  Do not use Maximize. First close all other windows via the taskbar and this last one. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

  Please follow these recommended steps and post if you still experience the problem.

• Why, suddenly, my desktop icons are difficult to align because they can be moved very small distances?

  For years, my desktop icons have acted as if they have so many 'slots' to enter in on the office. But this has never been a problem. They were easier to align because they were right next to each other, or a 'slot' above/below/apart.

  Now, for some reason, I can travel distances of small icons on the desktop, as if they were scalar elements which can be minimally pushed open. Suddenly there are not more "slots", and sort of paradoxically icons are more difficult to assemble and align because I have to keep their repositioning so that they are straight. Before, they were either straight, or a whole notch offline.

  It is NOT correct. Right-click and select Show , and then turn on Align

• Windows7 64 bit. Why the desktop icons all be empty when you run Firefox nightly for the first time?

  Every time after I get a Firefox Nightly update and run it, it will display the next page:
  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/?oldversion=30.0 which is fine.
  But when it opens this page, all my desktop icons go clear/white and one by one, they all return with their correct icons. And all this happens in a few seconds.
  Why is the operation of Firefox every night for the first time, my desktop icons?

  I suspect that you have both nightly and Firefox version installed?

  "The Firefox 'about' shows 30.0. and I've now checked for updates and are now running 33.1.1"
  

  It's different from what you have first published here with!
  Firefox 33.1.1 represents the latest version - a 32-bit version.

  Whereas, the version you first posted here with was a generation of 64-bit channel every night from July. Every night is for "Alpha-testers" and is updated every day, where the name of "night".

  Everything that happens in the background on the Windows desktop should not be of concern right now, every night Win 64 bit is several months out.
  If you really want to test the Win 64 Nightly builds, follow and participate in the very different evenings and son of 'channels' on MozillaZine forum is based.

• hide the desktop icons

  I am running Yosemite 10.10.5... When I share my screen with others, I want to hide my desktop icons. I used to have an option called "Show items on desktop" I unchecked when I right click on my desktop... How to re - activate this option/icon... or how do we do now? Thank you in advance.

  I guess that you don't want an AppleScript object parked on your desktop or Dock that someone could run to display the icons on your desktop. This is a Bash script that displays an AppleScript dialog box to allow you a choice of a normal life (crowded) or share (naked) desktop. Tested on OS X 10.11.4.

• Desktop icons disappear

  Having just downloaded the latest Firefox update (I'm on the beta channel), as soon as it restarts, five of my desktop icons disappeared. I have more than 60 icons on my desktop and I don't remember what they are. Is it possible to know what icons have disappeared and the recovery please?

  Hi markyb208,

  I'm not sure what you have a problem with Firefox.

  Are you talking about icons on your Windows 7 desktop. In a standard installation, Firefox will try to add an icon on the desktop, but it shouldn't do something to remove the icons.

• How can I get my desktop icon back scanner

  I have Windows 7 computer desktop and printer HP Officejet 4500 G510g, somehow, I lost my desktop icon that I use to scan documents.  How can I get it back?

  gnuma

  Hi, Sean

  I'm happy to announce that I now have my scanner to work.  I did as you suggested but I couldn't find an HPOfficejet file in the HP folder I found a bin folder in the folder of imagery but not scan.exe, but there was no scan file.exe inside.

  In any case, I have reinstalled the driver full features which I installed with the default settings.  When I got through everything that was there was the icon on my desktop solution Center.

  I did a scan and everything works fine.

  Thank you for everything.

  Sean, I've looked everywhere on the answer and could not find a bkutton "Bravo."

• How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

  How can I get rid of my desktop icon after installing Firefox 8.0.1?

  Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
  Open the image (DMG) disk Firefox with a double-click if necessary file and drag the Firefox program folder of the application on your hard drive.
  You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.
