My list of carefully arranged search engines started back in alphabetical order, not after each reboot, but irregularly. No idea why this is happening and how can I stop it please?

This started to happen out of the blue, not after the installation of a new add-on, nor change any settings that I can remember.

You can (re) order yourself if you click the icon to search on the search bar engine and manage search engine opens.

Which can happen if the database search.sqlite file was deleted and then recreated.

You can make a backup copy of this file.

Then you can restore it when it happens.

Do you have a cleaning running software that could be the cause?

    You can have an application antivirus or antimalware too aggressive.  Which do you have?

    See: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00061410

    I suggest NOT to take advice of HP to make an "HP System Recovery".  If you are unable to uninstall HP or Compaq connections, you can probably prevent the error message by disabling the application HP Backweb to start as follows:

    Removes the AutoRuns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Install and let it scan.  When the analysis is complete, click the 'connection '.  Examine the entries in the tab log for an entry which seems related to the Backweb or HP or Compaq connections connections.  If found, clear the check box for this item.

    Restart and confirm that the error message does not appear.

    If you cannot determine which of the no doubt several items related to HP is the culprit, uncheck half of them and restart.  This repeatedly until you identify the startup item that is causing the error message.

    In AutoRuns, leaving an unchecked item prevents him from starting automatically at startup, but you can restore the automatic start simply be rechecking the box.  Once you determine you want to never see again the question, you can remove it.

  • Firefox does not start what is happening and how can I solve this problem?

    I click on the link office or one in my Start menu and it will not open and does so even literally take 20 minutes. More when I close it looks closed, but when I try to reopen it, a window appears saying that Firefox still works when it is actually not. I have to restart my computer everytime to get it working again.
    My default browser still works fine and so did Fire Fox until a few days ago.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Hello

    Check with the help of your e-mail account, because they can also help if the emails are actually
    sending your account which is actually probably not. More likely, the spammers have
    a copy of your contacts or a copy of an email sent to these contacts.

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

    =============================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Every folder I open it in Windows Explorer starts to run an analysis that goes anywhere in the address bar. How can I stop this?

    In earlier versions of Windows, I would allow the address bar appears at the top of any folder that has been opened.  I'm on Vista Ultimate SP2 now and I'm not sure if the same name is still assigned to this bar at the top that displays inside the location of the folder structure of windows to the folder that is open.

    It is the same field that indicates the status of your search in Vista.  This is the area, to which I am referring.  In the upper left of the folder.

    Whenever I open a folder, it starts what appears to be a search, and the progress of the present poster with the field more in more blue from the far left and go right.

    I thought that since that acts of domain the same when I do an actual search, as she does when I open a folder, that maybe Vista makes some sort of search, or perhapes an indexing function.  I disabled indexing on my system.

    But when even scan darn, or whatever it is, starts on every window I opened.  Is it that a folder with pictures, the pictures does not show until scanning, or everything he does ends or is almost finished.

    Whenever this address bar starts its thing, I can him an 'X' that appears to the right of the address field.  The blue progress bar will suddenly zip through as if it ended, but often nothing happens, like the display of thumbnails for a period after you click 'X'... as if it still makes of anything, that he was not concerned that I hit the 'X '.

    Sorry for the length of this post.  I'm strugglng to describe my question clearly enough.

    If you know what is happening and how to stop it, I'd love to help...

    Thanks for the clear explanation.  I've never heard of this problem before, but it does not sound like opening the file automatically starts the search function - a problem that could be caused by a number of things.  The first that comes to mind is a recent installation program or the Windows Update (or a corruption of the registry) that is causing the problem.  We will approach the problem systematically until we discover the problem (with the procedure with the highest probability of success first).

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  If this started recently, I think that this procedure can solve the problem without requiring you need to go further (but I could be wrong, and the problem may be with some corrupted system files that must be identified and repaired).

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    This could also be malware (although I have never seeen before a kind). Let us make sure that it is not.  In Safe Mode with network (click several times F8 during the boot process) try to run anti-malware programs. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Set the scans to be comprehensive analyses and configure the program to fix any problems they find.  Restart after you have completed all the scans. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html , as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure:
