PIN.WID has become my default browser, I don't want to, can not uninstall and have no chance with "subject: config?"
Ok. How can I get rid of the pin.wid as my default browser. When I click on firefox I get pin.wid. I can't uninstall it. I emailed them this question. Response (abbreviated); Subject: config in the address bar, I promise you, keyword.url in the search box... not stuck there... no results.
There are a few different ways that a site could take over your home page. These include:
(1) change your settings
(2) an add-on
(3) hijacking your shortcut of Firefox
For #1, you probably already checked, but just in case:
You can use the home button or open a new window (Ctrl + n) to test the change.
Note that malicious software can create a file that will pick up your settings at startup. This article describes how to find such a user.js file: How to fix preferences that will not save.
For #2, try this:
Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.
Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
For #3, if you get the unwanted page at startup and not when you use the home page icon or open a new window (Ctrl + n), check here: right click on your shortcut on the desktop for Firefox > properties > Shortcut tab. For 64-bit Windows, the goal should be the next, no more, no less:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
A little luck?

Expect to be charged when you choose to rent, not some time later. Why can not watch you? Error messages? What version of Apple TV do you have? See if anything in this collection of Apple TV support documents and user guides help.

We have identified no MSN our default browser and it is constantly as default value. Us find irritating, because it is simply more steps.
http://MSN.com can be your home page is not a browser. Microsoft's browser is Internet Explorer. If you start in Firefox, you will stay in Firefox.
With msn.com as your home page, if this is the problem, still doesn't explain really how this done more than not for you. So we have to assume what you want to do or expect.

Hi, please help.
I currently use v4.0.1 Firefox, I love and I'm happy, because it allows me to use my Kaspersky link filter and the virtual keyboard.
In any case, I recently decided to clean my registry and history using cc cleaner... I don't back upwards as I had never experienced problems before. Once cc cleaner had finished and I opened Firefox I noticed that my two homepage layouts changed. Supanet homepage is now all disjointed, the buttons are scattered to the left and to the right of the page, where once what they where side by side, all the images and the text seem to be under the other and instead of a single page, now, I have to scroll down and down to the full page all the text and image seem to be left margin.
On the homepage of google some buttons are there, but the text inside has disappeared, even if the buttons work, a job search online via google... (or Supanet homepage) is not a problem, however, once we arrive on the site it almost shows the information the same page the hompage of Supanet way. Even more on some buttons on other sites are more interactive... for example, Asda good print. I do not wish to update to the other version of firefox that I would lose keys Kaspersky... so please help... I tried everything... same re install version 4.0.1.Help, I now there should be simple... but I'm not a geek! Thank you very much!There are a few variations on the command to start the Profile Manager, see if it works better than the one you used.
Try typing firefox.exe Pei in the area run.
Make sure you have a space between exe and the dash preceding the capital P and without the quotes with this version of the command.

Windows 8.01
My Pagemaker 7.0.1 has stopped working. When I try to re install it first tells me that the bot will app uninstalling load and once complete, the program stops as soon as I open it. This is a full version under license.
PageMaker does not work on windows 8. With no claimed to run on win 7 and 8, but not always, and no one proved a reliable configuration which is able to output several times pdf files.
You need an old windows Xp machine to run Pagemaker. Other alternatives are Indesign, including but expensive and complicated, worthwhile if you do a lot of page layout. Serif pageplus is a good enough alternative cheap, or Scribus which is a free alternative.

I was doing very well with Windows 8 and really liked the tile part until the part of so many mail no longer works when I changed my Yahoo password (after having hacked). Given that the Yahoo account has been used to set up my Microsoft Account for the new computer laptop / Windows 8, this old password appears to be caught in the trap in the system. I can still use the browser to get to Yahoo use e-mail like this, but it is frustrating that the Mail tile is now useless and hand tile is too.
Hello Rob,
The Microsoft Account and Yahoo accounts are two separate accounts. Then the two accounts use the same login ID (your Yahoo email address) and can be configured with the same password; When you change the password for one of the accounts that will not change your password for the account on the other.
If the two accounts used the same password, I suggest to change the password for your Microsoft account and using a separate password for each.
Once the Microsoft Account password has been changed, you should be able to connect to the mail. You may still need to update your email Yahoo mail password of: charms-> settings-> accounts->
