My laptop Windows XP seems to want to treat my broadband as a dial-up connection and, of course, there is no phone line hooked up. I tried to create a new connection to broadband under network connections and also, the unit seems to work fine. Any suggestions please?
Hi anthony meechan,.
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Follow these steps:
Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.
A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222
Step 2: If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

The Canon G1X Mk II would be ideal for this. There is WiFi capable and with a sensor size of APS - C and M4/3, he has a fantastic image quality.
I do not have a Mk II, but my G1X has no shutter sound. There are sounds of the focusing lens and nothing else.

Hello
Please contact Microsoft Community.
1 have you checked the State of the wireless autoconfiguration WLAN service in the services window?
2. do you have any security software installed on the computer?
3. have you made changes on the computer recently?
We will first try to manually start the wireless service, i.e. the WLAN AutoConfig service. To do this, connect to the computer as an administrator.
1. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
2. Locate the autoconfiguration WLAN service, double-click to open its properties window.
3. on the general tab, change the startup type to automatic and click on the Start button.
4. click on apply, then ok.
Try to connect to the wireless connection and check the result.
If the service still does not start, run the System File Checker tool to scan the computer for the corrupt system files and automatically correct. To run a sfc scan, try the steps mentioned in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

I chose the option to get Firefox to run better that he was. (I like my snail with garlic butter not on my laptop.) the default is to hide the toolbars - no useful option should go unscrewed - and I can't revert to the earlier version or get the toolbar. Would like to know how to get out of this mess please. Thank you.
Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).
If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse to the top of the screen to facilitate the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.
Click the expand (in the top right Navigation bar) to exit full screen or right-click on a space empty on a toolbar and select "exit full screen" or press the F11 key.- Firefox menu button > Options

Can't access Gmail from Firefox, using my laptop Windows 8.1
Hello
I FVD Speed dial and Eversync installed on my Windows 7 laptop which I use for ages now and never had any problem. One of my speed dials is for my Gmail account, but I can't get into my email on my laptop which has Windows installed from Firefox or Cyrco 8.1 Although I can do without difficulty using Chrome and Opera. On this same laptop (ongoing enforcement W8) everything speed dials are great - it's only the Gmail that does not work and I get the following message:
"The page is not redirecting properly".
Firefox has detected that the server redirects the request for this address in a way that will never end.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
I tried every simple troubleshooting guide I can find (including going in about: config and make changes there) but nothing works and it seems (from what I've read) does anyone else have this perculiar problem that I am experiencing.
Gmail is one of the dials speed that I use most, it becomes really frustrating and I love this browser so don't want to abandon it, but if I can't solve this problem I'm afraid I'll have to.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you

WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium
WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium. It works continuously with a cycle detection, connection, loss of connection; detection, connection, loss of connection, etc... The router works through this cycle, basically acting as if I disconnected and then reconnected to the power to reset, it disrupts my Internet connection to my Wired iMac and wireless, another office to the floor. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access, he put up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After finishing, the problem still exists. When I told him that the problem had not been corrected, he said just wait an hour or two and it should work itself. She, of course, did not himself. Any ideas out there?
Nevermind - I seem to have solved the problem with a simple firmware. Funny how the Linksys technician support don't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try to upgrade firmware first. However, he is quite good at trying to upsell me for a new router instead of trying to help me solve the problem I had. It makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thanks a lot!

Some clarification would be useful.
What type of file you have?
What do you do with it?
The easiest way might use dropbox or onedrive. Or you want to change the file on the iPad?
MP3-files are also. And with iTunes you can copy those dear to your iPad too.

I installed the latest version of Firefox on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The thing is that firefox prompt to save passwords of websites. I'll explain you a little more away with an example: suppose I load www.gmail.com. When I login, the password manager key is displayed on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window which would ask if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions. It is true that when I restart firefox with disabled modules (safe mode), password manager works fine. But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox. At that time, I had not installed any antivirus software and there is no add-on with firefox. Hope someone can give me a valid solution...
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.
You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.
If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.See:
- "Troubleshooting" in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager
