    Each time Firefox opened

    Hello Darryl.

    It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

  • Windows 7 splash screen will not change after the vista update

    After updating vista 32 bit to windows 7 32 bits, the splash screen will not change and he showed the vista boot. I read a lot of forum and the web page, but this solution:

    «.. . the dummies and bad start screen for Windows 7 is due to the locale entry in the startup folder, which could not be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD. When the locale is not found, Windows boot loader doesn't know what local startup folder to look for the animated bootscreen. Thus, in order to fix the boot screen so that the splash screen can be re-established, restored or reset to original animated Windows 7 boot screen, just run one of the following commands at the prompt with administrator rights:

    bcdedit/set {current} settings regional en-US

    or

    BCDboot % WinDir % / l en

    Change the US to the language version of Windows 7 installed, as ja - JP, en - us, es - ARE, pt - BR, zh - CN, zh - TW, fr - FR, fi - FI and etc.

    Restart the computer after running the command to see the new boot UI (user interface) be used again. To check if the locale has been entered properly, just run the bceedit command in the command prompt that is running as an administrator... »

  • Satellite A200-PSAF6A - white screen, will not start

    I've had for about a year or more now, out of warranty, and I had no problems so far. The operation of the machine is perfect, done a little warm here and there, but I never had blockages of material etc. The problem lies in the boot process where it lights up but the screen remains black and the HARD drive activity light flashes once, the optical reader clicks like it normally does at the start, and all the normal power supply/battery lights are as they should be, but the laptop will not progress beyond that. The power led remains blue and there is not much activity from the hard drive or any part of the material. This not even the screen of the BIOS at all. At some point, which I suppose because I can't see a pattern emerging in any form, the laptop will emit several beeps and the HDD led starts to blink signifying a boot up is ongoing, but the screen remains blank. At this point, if I turn off the laptop holding the power button / I am sometimes able to start with the display work, but once these things are depend on chance then sometimes it works and sometimes it isn't. Is that a real problem for me because I use this laptop for school and I get sometimes it will feed any or he will, and I'll have to wait a certain amount of time, which could be easily half the class and when he does the beep hard distracted others which is quite annoying.

    Now, I went through a lot of similar topics and tried what was said, but to no avail of course. I tried to delete all the components (RAM, HDD, optical drive, Wifi etc.) and reinstalling them that sometimes only a temporary solution. In the RAM slot I have 800 mhz and 1x1GB 667 mhz-1x2GB, I tried various arrangements with the installed RAM and RAM I have around my house, but I have not yet come to a solution. I find that I can't start up with RAM in just the second slot, I guess it's probably normal, but if it's not please comment and tell me otherwise because I read about another solution to a similar problem a person should use the ram in the second slot to get his laptop to start.

    My suspicion is that it's to do with a kind of BIOS check or maybe a BIOS corrupted, that I could not resolve without a technician because I am already in the current version of the BIOS. I did not update the BIOS that is not. If not then I'll assume that it is just a fault of power on the motherboard circuit. It's a really weird problem because it works quite well after, and I don't think it's a hardware problem perfectly serious because he wouldn't if it was.

    Any help is appreciated on the topic, share your knowledge, if you have had a similar problem because whatever it is would be useful

    Thank you

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the graphics card can be removed. Maybe you have enough experience with replacement of equipment, but laptop disassembly without maintenance manuals can be risky.
    I really hope you know what you're doing. Maybe you should contact the nearest authorized and ask for help.

  • Satellite P305-S8820 won't start no-POST 'BLACK SCREEN' will not start up CD

    When the HARD drive is connected Vista does not start, regardless of the boot order. Instead, it shows just a black screen with no cursor. Supplied recovery disks will not start. I removed the HARD drive and ran a scan of the disc to see if the drive went wrong, no dice, the disc is good and works fine via usb-sata on another computer.

    I inserted just the toshiba recovery disk, without HARD drive, and it starts. I connected the external HARD drive now and vista tries to start BSOD, I tried safe mode, last known, everything, nothing works, all get a BSOD disappearing too fast for me to read.

    I searched a dump file on my other computer and was a failure. When the HARD drive is connected via usb vista tries to start and the toshiba cd works now, however, it will not perform a complete installation of factory toshiba it does not find the HARD drive? I'm a windows user and I have years of experience with x 86 programming and windows 32-bit operating systems, but I'm stumped. Bad RAM? Bad Sata? Bad HARD drive? Bad CD/DVD? It is Vista Home premium.

    I don't want to reformat and lose all my data "I AM A REAL 'IT' not a silly computer user" no offense to all the others out there but I refuse just "format and forget ' tools used invites to rebuild the BCD and this does not work either and automatic repair does nothing, recovery does not work as it says there is no recovery points I am frustrated beyond words.

    Finally, this operating system is just horrible, I was once the 'happy' owner of a copy of Windows ME and it does not give me half of the problems that makes this operating system.

    I'm fed up with this, and am half tempted to ask my money for my computer, it might not be the responsibility of the user barely shoot / resolve these problems, they should be addressed before the product was released.

    I am at a loss. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Kevin

    I'm a bit confused with the info given, but if you can not restore/repair Windows, while you should do is back up your data to another PC using a USB adapter, and then run the recovery on the HARD drive internal in the P305.

    You must also update the BIOS.

  • voice by tapping screen will not go away

    What happened twice today. I use the phone and the voice typing display will not disappear. I can use the phone.... i can go to the home screen, open apps, review the settings, etc, but I can't close the voice prompt, and I can't use it.

    It essentially makes the phone useless until I restart.

    I don't know why it does this. Not rooted and unlocked or anything... just stock.

    I've included a link to a short video that illustrates the problem.

  • Start PC laptop Toshiba in safe mode, only displays black screen, will not respond to any commands.

    Hello, I recently tried to do an advanced start safemode, because when I tried to do safe mode by pressing F8 it would have not responded to the command. Then I did a MSconfig, lit manually in safe mode, so I can then restart and do a scan to search for viruses or hackers of air because he had a reason to suspect. Now, after the manual switch, when I rebooted all I get is a black screen. No logo, nothing. When I press the buttons for the controls at first upward, it beeps at me and that's it.

    Done, I have XP, not Vista, don't know if it makes much difference or not, but that's exactly what I did.

    Is went to start, click Run, type msconfig, went to the utility system configuration, general tab selected, then the system of services. Then selected drivers devices of loading at startup Safemode-minimal database, and then click OK. Then, the computer said I had to be logged as administrator for these changes to take place and to connect and make changes. I was already logged as admin. so I advanced and restarted the computer and that's when I got black screen, no splash screen, no logo, no cursor.

    I just read that I could have possibly messed up by not checking the VGA mode in order to be able to communicate in this mode, I don't know if it is correct or not.

    I have my recovery discs, I've tried this morning, following their directions and it will not respond to one of these orders either.

    I don't understand, why... it was working fine before I did it, but like I said I suspected a virus or a hijacker, but my Norton 360 and SuperSpyware nothing not detected in normal mode. That's why I tried to safe mode.

  • Brand of Smartphones blackBerry New 8530 - many pre-installed applications on the Menu screen will not work

    I just bought a BlackBerry Curve 8530 from Verizon.  This is my first BlackBerry and I'm pretty happy with it up here - but by exploring all the features, I encountered a problem.

    So far, under the screen of Menu key, I tried to use V CAST song ID, AllAccess, and Bing.  Every time, when I chose the icon, I was taken to a new page, and you are prompted to accept the terms of the service and download the software.  Then, I waited several minutes for the software to download.  When it was over, he told me it was done downloading and gave me two options: 'OK' or 'run '.

    With V CAST song ID and AllAccess, I chose "Run" and threw on the terms of service / download screen.  I hit the Menu key and tried to select the applications in this way - but nothing happened.  I mean NOTHING.  The screen remained the same, nothing open, NOTHING.  With Bing, I chose 'OK,' to see if it has changed things-, but once again, I've been dumped on the terms of service / download screen, and when I press the Menu button and tried to select the application from there, nothing happened.

    I was able to successfully download and run Blackberry App World and successfully download and run another application here-, but it seems that whenever I try to download and run an application that already appears on the Menu screen, it will not work.

    Everyone knows about this problem before?  Any ideas as much as solutions?  As I said, I'm totally new to BlackBerry, so I would really appreciate it.

    Yes, this is what happened with the app I downloaded successfully via App World.  However, applications that do not work are not there.  (And I don't think they would even if they worked correctly BlackBerry App World, which I was able to download correctly, not included in this issue: he stayed on the home screen Menu and worked when I selected it.)  Thank you, though.

  • Captivate 5 - screens will not advance preview and publish

    Hello

    I just started using Captivate 5 and I'm working on courses that are on a mobile software application, so I'm capture screenshots in a small size and you want to resize the project to a larger size, if I can put other content on the slide. After the record screen captures, I went in to change... Resize the project. I leave the Aspect Ratio to maintain controlled and choose the size of 790 x 545 preset. I click on the project to keep the same size and position in the project and leave the draft Position at the Center and click Finish. When I go to see a preview of the course, most screens will be in the correct position, but some of the screens are in the upper left of the screen, while the mouse movements remain in the correct position on the blade and the previous slide shows also in the center of the screen. Very frustrating! Can someone give me some ideas? I need to create 11 of these courses, and it is a major obstacle.

    If this feature does not someone has other workaround solutions?

    Thank you

    Tracy

    Hello

    Have you installed the fix published recently? One of the issues it resolved concerns scaling. He will be pushed any time, but you can already install it.  You will find information in this announcement of the Captivate blog:
