  • Bookmarks sometimes show what looks like a memory corrupted until the cursor is moved over them

    When I click the 'Favorites' menu item, I just sometimes black squares for some of the list until I have the cursor on these points. Then, it seems that a refresh memory takes place and all is well.

    I have attached a screenshot. In addition, in the troubleshooting information, I see this:

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

    You can check if there is an update for your display driver graphic card and search for hardware acceleration of related issues.

I can see the police DIN in my Dropbox, but it appears like this: - ._DIN-"BOLD", no file extension. what I am doing wrong? What is Mac?

    (1) Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32 bit only). Try to install ATM on any newer version of Windows can actually disable the ability of the rendering of Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts window, requiring a reinstall of Windows.

    (2) there is no need to use the ATM to install fonts on Windows.

    (3) the name of the file ._DIN-bold is indicative of a police of MacOS. These fonts may not be installed on Windows systems.

  • Why not recently seen sites show in a different color more?

    Yesterday I updated to Firefox 7.0.1 and now my sites recently seen show is no longer in a different color after the display of a Web site and return to the initial list of Web sites. I still want to see which ones I've looked at the research. Can you tell me how to recover this feature again?

    If you talk about the differences in color between visited and not visited in the links on your Web pages as that would be affected by what follows:

    1. change the link colors in your tools > Options > content > fonts and colors: 'Advanced' for which I have blue for Unvisited and magenta for unvisited links. I have all three elements selected "use system colors:," underline links: and 'Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above'. "
    2. Data loss in history, such as deleting your browsing history
    3. Private browsing ("Ctrl + Shift + P") will mark all as visited links, even apply to the permanent Private Browsing ("always use private browsing mode") in tools > Options > privacy

    I let him out on the following link and added it, but given what precedes has answered the question, I'm changing that last part a page footnote.

    Which none would be directly related to the update of Firefox, but in these times where the file localstore.rdf in profile you may be affected (corrupted), and the changes made to your toolbars and options will not stick.

    Hello

    Laptop?

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there
    probably are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with)
    Entries of TouchPad) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area near clock on
    at the bottom right. There "may" be the sensitivity settings.

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

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work) try to update
    the driver for the TouchPad.

    Panel of configuration-Device Manager - mice and pointing devices - Double click on touch pad
    -Pilot Tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
    of work.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear
    the device if it is present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

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

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

    TouchFreeze

    I hope this helps.

  • BB BOLD blackBerry smartphones when the failure itself.

    I bought this wonderful BB Bold 2 weeks, everything was perfect, but... in a conversation on the phone just turn off by itself and no way to turn it on, I connect the phone to the PC to load, but I have not responded on this subject, just a red light... I try to turn it on and a blank screen pop up with a battery through a Flash... Well, I try to do it turn on and nothing... I wait a few minutes until what this screen when turned off and the red light was again on... Later, I try to turn it on and I could, but it's the surprise... The phone reset itself a plant more to erase all my content on my miniSD card...

    I don't know what is happening, but I don't want to deal with a phone that lets me down on the street with sensitive information...

    When the phone turns on I have had a few promts stay errors of java; untrapped exception java.lan.nullpointerException; ApplicationRegistry.WAITFOR (0x7491f7b6ae80681a) timeout. and repeat the java...

    Is a body can suggest what to do next?

    Thanks for your time and your advice.

    Leave the appliance to charge 2-3 hours and then, always toujours relie connected to the USB cable, remove the battery from the camera a few seconds and plug it back. If it starts - let - the charges to 100% (check the Options > status for the percentage).

    If it does not start - try using a wall charger if you're not. If you are connected via USB to the computer, make sure that you have Desktop Manager (or USB device drivers), you can download it below.

    Make sure that your USB cable is connected to one of the main rear USB ports of the PC. A USB hub, or USB Monitor port not a USB port on the front of the PC.

    Download Desktop Manager here:

  • I can't get into my yahoo favorites. I spent time with AT &amp; T and the conclusion, they have come to is that it can be a problem with Firefox and yahoo. Help please

    I use a laptop computer HP NOT mobile. Whenever I try to go into my favorites YAHOO that it asks me to sign in which I'm doing nothing does not. AT & T came to the conclusion that maybe it's that Firefox and Yahoo do not work together. I just downloaded the latest versions of Firefox and toolbar yahoo again without success. Is there something with Firefox that prevents me to enter my yahoo Favorites?

    You have the box checked for automatic private browsing mode? In this case, when you open the Options dialog box, the drop-down list usually said "conservation rules: don't remember history. In this mode, Firefox does not retain your Yahoo cookie between sessions, which would explain the problem.

    Note: If you uncheck this box and start in normal mode, you can still create private windows via the menu or with Ctrl + Shift + p.

    If the problem is not caused by a parameter of Firefox, it is possible that an add-on or software external is clear your cookies between sessions.

  • Possibility of blackBerry Smartphones to have some number of rings when the phone is "off" or "quiet"?

    When I turn my phone 'off' or 'calm' ring, I'd love to be able to program the phone for that comes from any call from my wife, while all other ring at all.  Any way to do it?  Thank you

    When your phone is 'off' no call will happen, but you can have the ringtone and following will continue to apply.

    When the profile is defined for you calm down can have important calls pass: scroll to profiles > click on > scroll down > advanced > scroll down for important calls > touch menu > you can create a new exception or use the s 'important call' a > edit > add a contact in the top bar, for example, your wife, you can also choose a ringtone custom for important calls.  Now, even if the phone is set to silent or vibrate, the important call will ring through.

    Hope this helps you.

  • Can score us some mandatory page setting when the user creates a page

    Hi all

    We have a requirement where we want to store some information in the field of page_desc available in the page.

    But we noticed that this field is added to the page def only when the user provides some information in the Description field when the Page itself was created.

    So my question is, can get us somehow the description during the creation of the page itself.

    OR, we can use service page to add the parameter pag_desc to def page somehow, if it is not present?

    Pointers?

    Kind regards
