  • Preferance pane window keeps popping open when the data entry or search in all fields. I'm also using 1Password and happens when you try to enter a password

    I'm running on Mac OS X 10.7.4, Firefox 14.0.1. This problem did not exist until this last update of Firefox. Basically, a preferences panel opens each time data is entered in a field. It doesn't seem to be the same preferences panel you see when you open preferences through normal access Firefox, IE. Firefox > Preferences. All the choices listed in this special preference pane are specific to Firefox. I have a screenshot that I could include if wanted. When you use the pane appears when you enter a search in the search bar near the address bar of 1Password the task pane opens, when entering data in any field because I am now filling in this report in detail pane also appears. It's pretty boring. Any advice? I will try systematically to leave any add-ons and see if that makes a difference. I have ave tried to do a reinstall without result.

    Isn't it always the case if you disable the other extension except 1Password?

    Start Firefox 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 > Modules > appearance/themes).

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  • FPGA code will stop when the code RT

    I developed a FPGA code to manage a piece of hardware. It's the installer to read some default Panel control configuration values and then sit there constantly respond to signals input and output signal.  The bitfile FPGA is written in flash to load FPGA memory and starts almost immediately. So far, everything is good.

    Then I layered on the code of RT (cRIO-9075) system that opens a reference FPGA to the FPGA façade and allows me to follow a few indicators and change configuration settings and cause the configuration settings is changed be used by the FPGA.   So far, it seems to work too when I run the RT code interactively (eventually there will be an interface for a host system).

    The problem occurs when the code RT is ordered to stop. If you stop the RT code also, the judgment of the FPGA code and I will not stop the FPGA code. The RT code does not all calls to order the FPGA code to stop execution. When the RT code is stopped, the only thing she does in regards the link to the FPGA is to close the reference FPGA VI which was opened when the RT code was started.

    What should I do to cause the code FPGA to continue to operate as the RT code is started and stopped?

    I have to wait that I return to the office tomorrow to test this, but I think that this link has the answer to my problem.
