No start page, Google rises and there is no way out without using the Task Manager.

I used to get the Google search engine at the start of Firefox, with bookmarks bar in side bars and tool at the top. Now, all I get is a Google search page, with a few buttons on the top like images, etc. There is no way to close the program without using the Task Manager. I downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed, but the problem has not disappeared. Operating system is Windows XP Professional

Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and bars scrolling down.

  • Use Restore or expand in the context menu of the taskbar icon to set the focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the window of Firefox.
  • Open the system menu of the window of Firefox via Alt + space and see if you can move and resize the window (use the arrows on the keyboard).

If it works, then first close all other open windows of Firefox and then close Firefox via "file > exit/Quit" to save the setting.

If the above didn't help then see:

  • HP 6735 s starts with no backlight, and there is no way to adjust it

    Hello

    I have a notebook 6735 s with processor Sempron SI40. One day, I turned on and realized that theres no backlight or something. The following occurs:

    1. the screen is powered, but it's so dark that I can barelly see "HP"-logo at startup (at first, I thought that the screen is not in power, but on consideration, I see something on this topic) ".

    2. it is used to "quick buttons" to set the backlight (at startup and loading windows)

    3. There is no use for the reset of the Bios. (no change)

    A bit more on this issue. I can see what is on the screen, if I take a flashlight and point it on screen, but still if barelly I can't yet read Bios options sometimes. Windows starts OK, and the issue has no effect on it.

    I tried to disconnect a battery and unplug the laptop for half an hour, but nothing has changed.

    Could you please help?

    If you do not feel confident in evolution, you can take your laptop to most of the mechanics who should be able to do while you wait "assuming you have the part" a search under your laptop model the INVERTER supplement on eby should produce some alternatives to high prices.

    Please note if your laptop is under any kind of warranty that it is, you should not attempt to repair yourself to allow other users to-other than HP.

    If you can find the service manual for your laptop must be some instructions to change the easy to follow ups.

  • Update KB2447568 automatically installed on my two computers. Had to do a restore afterwards as url IE8 line always came in white (compared to my google home page) and then I had to use the Task Manager to close IE8.

    On each laptop OS is Vista Home Premium.  All updates, in the past, have been installed without problem.  Anti virus is Norton 360 on each PC.  Never had a problem until now, with an update.  I would like to install the update that is referenced, but it completely disables IE8.  Any suggestions on how to fix would be appreciated.

    See http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Internet-Explorer-8-quot-not-responding-quot-when-symantec/m-p/332499#M136282 [applies to N360 and other applications Norton]

    Manually & repeatedly update Norton 360 via LiveUpdate (or smart update) until you get a "not more than updated" or similar prompt.

    Then reinstall KB2447568, if necessary.

    TIP: Never, EVER to use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot.  If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

    Hello

    1. What is the full/exact error message?
    2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    Follow the steps.

     

    Method 1
    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

    Step 1
    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2
    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: After you have performed the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startup mode.

     

    Method 2:
    See the help article and check if it helps.

    Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911

    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.

    An upgrade on the spot is the final solution before you have to reinstall the operating system.
    Note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

  • Security for the family and the Task Manager

    I installed on all my computers, parental control, for all users, and it is configured to block all adult sites.  It works perfectly, but there is a fault.  A person can go into the Task Manager and end the process and access the internet without the security of the family running.  Is there a way to stop the possibility of terminating the process in the Task Manager?
    Help, please?

    Hi Lisa,

    We have simulated the issue on our end. Standard accounts can use the Task Manager to end the control client parental (fsui.exe), but if he or she tries to put end to the the service process control parental (fsssvc.exe), it will be refused. This would avoid the child's account to get around the parental control service.
    If you want to disable the tasks for the standard account manager, you can post on the forum of Windows. Please note that the Task Manager is useful for standard accounts such as terminate tasks for programs no longer responds.
    Thank you!
  • Slow computer and the number of processes in the Task Manager

    My dad's computer runs very slow on start up, and when you try to shut down some programs it freezes or just takes its time.  When it freezes, I use the Task Manager to close the program, which usually works.  SE when I had to use Task Manager, I noticed that my father has 53 process running at a time.

    Could it be slow down the computer and if so, what can I do about this problem?

    You can search what process you use cpu on the Task Manager and stop the process.

    Under steps:

    1. right click on the taskbar.

    2. click on the Task Manager.

    3. click on the processes tab.

    4. double-click on the CPU.

    5 is if "system idle process" is max.

    6. If it is not a right click and click on end process.
