• Windows 7: crashes Explorer on right click

  I started having accidents Explorer frequently about a month ago.  I cleaned the registry, delete unused programs, defraged Windows partition.  Finally, in desperation, I reinstalled from Run in Windows.  I did a restore of system files.

  Now, whenever I right click on a folder or a file, explore crashes (get the usual search, a message of solution or close and restart).  I can only think that there is a problem in the registry.  But how to fix it?  I don't want to do a clean install.  Is there a .reg file that does not exist to import to restore Explorer?  Or a repair order explore?

  I'm desperate.  Must be functional today.  Will try to install all previous updates in the hope that something solves this problem.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

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

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• Ok. I am in permanent private browsing mode. Don't know how I got there, but how to get out? If I can just click on private I navigation ned it?

  somehow I'm always private browsing mode. When I click on the file and go to "new private window", I get a new window but no small mask at the top on the right. " I understand that this means that I am always in private browsing mode.
  How can I disable this function so I can open a private only when I need one?

  Hello Smokenguns,
  Thanks for asking! It seems that you use some custom settings for history and an option enabled lock you in a permanent private browsing mode. Here's what to do:
  Go to Menu > settings > privacy there, uncheck the box that says always "use Private Browsing Mode. See the screenshot if you can't find it.

• How can I start private browsing when I don't have a "Firefox" button click?

  "Open a new window empty private."

     At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select New Private Window. A new Private Window will open.
  

  "

  That's what he said! But where is this Firefox button at the top of my window of Firefox (v 20.0.1)? What I have at the top of the window is:

  (1) a bar of blue background with the Firefox icon and the title of the current page

  (2) 2 bars gray background with buttons and menus (file, editing,...)

  (3) 1 bar background gray with the bookmarks bar

  (4) the tab bar

                                   But no Firefox button, and none available in the customise dialog. Have I suppressed it somehow?
  

  Hello, the private browsing window is accessible via the file menu that you referenced too - or you can use keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + p.

  If you want to get the interface by default with the firefox button well, go to view > toolbars and disable the menu bar...

• Cannot not average or do a right click on Favorites to open in a new tab

  I can no more middle-click a bookmark in the bookmarks menu to open in a new tab. No matter if I have left, middle or right click, it is considered to be a left click and open in my currently open tab.
  PS I do this using Firefox 23, but goes the same for Firefox (obtained from Nightly Builds) 26.

  Bug in Firefox 748850 has a work around: you must use the terminal or a file browser. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css in my case is the new required folder & new file are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/randomalphanumeric.default/ you have to create the directory 'chrome' and in the 'userChrome.css' with this text file:
  Bookmarks-menu-button {}
  display:-moz - box! important ;}
  Then restart FF.

• Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

  I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

  It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

  .. .for a while.

  About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

  I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

  I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!
