My PC is 5 years old now. It works very, very slow. I want reinstal windows xp and make as if it was when it was new. I get a message 'DO NO ANSWER. " When I try to close AOL, I get this message and I have to keep clicking on... end now.

I deleted everything that I didn't need, I saved everything what I need to drive. What should I do next? I have all the software that came with my PC originally. I start just insert the discs? Do I need to reformat the drive too? Please help, as I don't know what I'm doing. I can't afford to go to the Geek Squad, or someone similar. I can't afford a new computer.

My computer is a DELL 3000 SUN Desk Top.

  • 'a single download will be cancelled' appears when I try to close firefox

    I get a pop - up that says 'one download will be cancelled if I close the page.' I get this on each page. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode, but it does not help. I tried to restart my PC and it does not help. I don't get the pop up if I use IE only Firefox. The culprit seems to be google Video.com.

    I had just downloaded a movie with realplayer, but not from google when it began. The black arrow pointing down in the navigation bar seems to be the cause of the problem. It shows a download in progress, but it is not a. I tried to cancel the download by clicking on this arrow and 'Cancel', but is no more. The film, that I downloaded with realplayer plays very well. How do I get this resolved?

    That's what fixed it for me. I went to the HISTORY tab. Then click on "show all history". Then on to the left hand side choose / click on "DOWNLOADS". That should show you what is (by train) to download or is a (active) download (which explains why you get this pop up when you try to close Firefox browser). So now you have to click or select what list in the download of right hand box and click on the X in the upper right corner or you have to click so that he can remove it for download. Seems you had to 'pause' or 'stop' the download first, then you can DELETE it. In any case, if it's the same thing that happens to you, it should be an EASY fix without running all spyware stuff or reloading software or restart in safe mode. Mine seemed to happen for some reason any to just do something that I always do, which was from a web page to listen to a radio station. I must have accidentally hit something to start to try to download while I was on the page to listen. In my situation, it was not any progress made by the bar that usually shows how much has been downloaded. He was just here as an active download but no progress.
    Hope that could be the answer to all the world the reading of this same problem.
    Good luck to all

  • Multiple tabs open when I clik a link to a new tab. Then, do not open or even appear when I try to close with "close all tabs"... they are like "ghost tabs.

    It spent last few days... the tabs are displayed on the tab bar, but do not open upward or close when I try to close... when I tried "close all tabs", who says so "you try to close the 2 tabs", they are not counted as being open... the only way I can get rid of them is Firefox is completely closed and then it starts again. Ghost tabs!

    I solved the problem, but not using the "safe mode".
    After going into safe mode and close and open FF again;
    I then had to dl the latest version of FFox... 33.0 (I had 32.0) online, a friend told me there was an update for it... found 33.0.1.i and dl who had, then restarted my computer.
    I found that the new version had removed many of my fave on my 'personal bar '... icons I have them back by going to this:
    'Classic theme restaurateur' found in 'modules '.
    I didn't add "colorful tabs" again...

    In addition, an easy solution... my mousepad has been 'sticky'... by removing just, my mouse works much better on my desk...

    now, everything is back to normal... no pop up several tabs, even in typing emails is better now as well.

    Hi sgodwin2468,

    Make sure that Acrobat Reader DC is updated Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader.

    If the problem persists, try the solution below.

    The default "save under" Acrobat/Reader DC dialog box is different from the dialogue box you had in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader, it also allows you to record in the clouds and previous locations that you saved the files. It is possible that when Acrobat/Reader tries to connect to the 'cloud', it runs into problems. You can try to disable this feature to see if this brings your backup in the back of the box: open Acrobat Preferences, then go to the "General" category and uncheck "show the online storage when you save files:

    I am very new to dream. I created a simple site that worked very well. I tried SEO booster and was checking on things different (for example Goigle webmaster). I don't know exactly what I did, but now when I type in my site it tells me that the page cannot be opened because it was redirected too many times...? Help, please!

    Let me add some details to the choice in the scenarios you have for the use of domains.

    The areas are to simplify all kinds of activities on the Internet for users. Instead of addressing your email to go to the software from e-mail server to a computer with the IP 113.78.59.238 number, users can simply run their mail to "hannah" @ "gmail.com" or go to the website to "gildedgraces.com". This makes things a lot easier for users, but requires a little more difficult techniques backstage, because Internet computers connected and hardware (servers, tablets, phones, refrigerators) have only single numbers, not names. So, how internet needs to know which computer manages all emails for "@gildedgraces.com", and where physically this site 'www.gildedgraces.com '? This is where the "Domain Name Servers" kick in. They maintain long lists of these domain names, with references to the IP numbers correct and up-to-date. In this way, technicians can also easily Exchange computers, servers, connections, where a site is moved to another host, or when a server suddenly collapses. These things will happen, things have to change. They want to update certain IP numbers in the list on the DNS servers. I have it?

    So in order to get a Web site running, you know where your domain registry database is guarded and kept safe, and where your Web site is physically located.

    Note the difference between DNS (or servers) and the service (or Web servers) throughout all the instructions and documentation.

    Now, have a look at this PDF that was returned by Brad, in his response above.

    The domain name can be registered at any domain provider and the registry itself is not always need to reside there. You could relegate (you might say "move" or move) the registry for the DNS to another provider (like BC) service. In such a scenario, he must tell the provider holding the credentials of your registry, to redelegate it in British Colombia. That's what the article 4 in the PDF file. And of course, BC DNS service can internally so all applications for this field to their own web server.

    You can also choose to keep your current domain provider maintains the registry, but that their DNS servers before any request of this area on the web servers of British Colombia, where your site is published. This is typically a necessity for registrations from non-American, since many extensions of national domains (such as .nl and .de) can be recorded by suppliers outside of this nation. So the registry simply cannot be moved to an American company (it's a legal thing). In such a situation, article 6 of the PDF comes into play, describing what BC would normally internally: to the domains of the physical location of the Web site.

    Hello ITGIRL17,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Configure your task under your administrator account.
    Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
    If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
    Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.

    Also check the information from the following link and look specifically at Brian Vandemark Sommaire steps on 2 September.
