  • Downloaded 8.0 and now can't access working library as it redirects to the proxy of my uni?

    After a series of accidents when the hotmail and gmail, I received a message to download Firefox Setup 8.0, which I finished yesterday. This solved my problems of e-mail. However, I have now tried to access my e-library work, but despite being on the right site with all the macros OK journal, when I click to go to the electronic library (which should give me), direct entry I find myself being diverted to the proxy of my University Library, which (of course) does not give me access to my library of work. I use Zotero, which helps to provide an answer to my problem. Any ideas how I can fix this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your answer. I will keep this in mind - I only checked to have downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0 (2) .exe (which I happened to find sitting in the toolbar, and it's not because I've been invited to download). This seems to have solved now redirect to a server incorrect proxy - the only thing that remains to be done is to find why I have a blank page when I get redirected to the correct e-library! I will contact the administrator of this site. Thanks again for your suggestion. I will certainly use it if I have more problems.

  • Password MS Surface has been lost/changed and now can not access the device.

    My wife recently got a tablet of Ms Surface.  Initially, she set his password and was able to use the device without problem.  However, after 2 days of used light, the device does not recognize the password and don't let her diary.  How can solve us this problem so that it can reset his password and access?

    Mario - Sorry for my delay in responding, but I need to retrieve the response that we had found.

    Surface of my wife would not accept his password and if it could not connect to use most of the suggested solutions to 'reset' a password.  We had to do a complete Factory reset by following the following steps (that I found on the Web, and successful):

    The only way to start a complete RESET without signing in Windows is to stop start Windows handle once or twice to get "Automatic Windows repair" to start, as follows:

    1. turn off the device in now the power button for 6-10 seconds

    2. press the power button to wake it up.

    3. once the Surface Logo appears, wait for the indirect "dots" approach to appear and then press and hold the power button for 6-10 seconds to turn the unit off again.

    4. Repeat step 2 & 3 until the Surface Logo appears with the words in saying "prepare auto repair.

    5 recovery Mode turns on.

    6. in the BITLOCKER screen, press "skip this drive".

    7. press on 'Advanced Options '.

    8. press on "Troubleshoot".

    9. press "reset".

    10 tap... "Just remove my files.

    11 reset process will take about 20-30 minutes - and all DATA WILL BE REMOVED FROM the DEVICE.

    When the "reset" process is complete, the OOBE/Start Up Wizard must begin and the customer can complete the installation of their Surface device.

    Please note that we have used this process because
    (1) we could not connect you to the Surface unit AND
    (2) because we had no personal data to save.  If you have any personal data that you don't want to lose, you will need to find another way to reset the Surface.

    I hope this helps.  He has worked for our situation and the Surface continued to operate perfectly since.

  • RH8 Moved Source file - he returned and now can not access... Ouch

    I upgraded to Windows 7 and was asked to move all my folders/files on a shared drive, so HE could wipe my laptop clean, install W7 and then they have reinstalled all my software.

    I took care to move files in their records.  I moved the folder 'My RoboHelp projects' with all my projects to our Shared disk...

    When I moved back to my laptop, I'm unable to open the source folder of the robohelp project created originally as a .xpj.  I get following error messages, one saying that it cannot open the file .cpd. When looked at the file of the file extension is a. DPC.  How could he change the .xpj in a .cpd?  I'm confused...

    No idea why this happened and how I can get these projects, other than a kick in the head to move them?  Thank you!

    RH82.jpgRH81.jpg

    In the second error message, I would say that you must apply all the patches RH8. I do not think that the patches are cumulative, so you need to install each in order. Use help > check for updates. I think its about 8,03 now.

  • How to go back - just tried 50.0.1 and now can not access net

    Running win 10 - just upgraded - restarted Firefox, and it worked. Turned off my computer - turned turn it back on and the browser says "Unable to connect.". Connection seems to be fine - I can use internet on another computer

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

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
