• refox will not download on my computer and Ideleted version I've had (so I can't do a reset). All I get is a blank screen and an error message saying something

  I was erase my browser history and when I arrived at time interval, I went into everything. When I tried to go back to Firefox, I got, it's a blank page and an hourglass. I deleted the program so I could reload a new version. When I try to do it I get this white page and an error message that says "plugin container.exe has encountered an error and needs to close." That's all. No matter what I do, I can not download a new Mozilla.

  A huge history of compensation could freeze the browser for a minute or three. If Firefox closed abnormally while he was cleaning up the database that stores the history (and bookmarks), it may be damaged. I hope that this will not be a problem for you.

  First of all, you can download a complete installer from the following page (scroll to the bottom for your language):

  https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/

  You should be able to do it in any browser, so if Firefox does not work properly, try using IE.

  You can then run the installation program to update Firefox.

  Second, after a crash, Firefox will try to restore your previous session windows and tabs. This could be properly where a plugin is not put into service and generates error on plugin - container.exe. If you are willing to lose your last open windows and tabs, you can start Firefox up to a blank page. Here's how:

  Type or paste the following text in the search box of the start menu and press ENTER to run it:

  firefox.exe "about:blank"
  

  Does it work? If Firefox is stable, you can try to recover the session previous windows and tabs by using either:

  • Menu > history > restore previous Session
  • type or paste about: sessionrestore in the address bar and press enter

  Any improvement to date?

• My kids have iphones that I need now to be able to text and call and do nothing else. Is anyway to do this? They had iphones which have been misused and now that I'm aware of this use, I now need to restrict any activity.

  I have recently read activity inappropriate my children iPhones... a 4S and 6s. Is - this here anyway for now limit their use of the phone for texting and calls and nothing else? No apps, no wifi, just SMS and calls. I can now monitor texts and calls, but want nothing else to do. I can call and text them. Help please!

  You cannot limit the phone to only send SMS and calls, but you can stop using the offending apps. Go to settings > general > Restrictions and set a restriction password. Then turn off Safari so they cannot browse the web, "Apps installer" and all the other options you want. Remove all third party apps unwanted from their phones, and then they will not be able to reinstall if "Apps installer" has been disabled.

• Microsoft initiated phone calls for this correction?

  REC received a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft today, indicating that the security update did not work on my computer and want to take control online to fix. Is - is this legitimate?

  No. (see this article - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2010/03/09/don-t-fall-for-phony-phone-tech-support.aspx)

  Microsoft does not contact you personally, they don't send attachments, etc.

  You were right to be wary.

• converting file from Microsoft money 2006 to 2007 it gets stuck and says 'work '.

  I use Money 2006.  I bought Quicken only to find out that it can only convert Money 2007 or later versions.  So I purchased Money 2007 and upgraded successfully.  Then, I tried to convert my file in Money 2006 to 2007.  I opened the file 2006 and she asked my password as usual.  After that I put in, need me a screen that says "for updating your money file.  It is said that money will convert my file so it can work with it in 2007.  And you're supposed to click on "next".  When I do it says it 'work', but it gets stuck there and nothing happens.  Any ideas?
