I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.
It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

eBAY has stopped working the way that it used with Firefox, my browser. Sort, enlarge the picture, look at this point - they are all no longer work.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin - container.exe" who was using much of my CPU when I open several tabs containing Adobe Flash files and locked up Firefox.
My solution is to use Firefox 3.5.10, which you can get on the Mozilla site at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
I use Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the date of issue, in my opinion, it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".If all goes well, they will set Firefox 3.6 in the next version (for example Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use «Firefox 3.5.10»

Message came that said my copy of Vista can be victim of piracy and go online to validate that, I did it because I have been using this OS for more than 3 years on a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit p2000 series. a few hours later my computer said it needed to restart and once it restarted it has a black screen with a message that he was trying to repair. It could not be repaired so he asked if ok to go to a restore point and clicked on Yes. I get the message that my copy is not genuine and my computer wants to restart once again, but I'm the delay of four hours. I did the command line to try to restart the service and access has been denied. 0x80070426. I found an ad on the forum and tried the steps there, but he failed. Mistake was 54. http://social.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/genuinevista/thread/de089d6e-63b4-4D6E-b955-30bb8e9525d3. I had to contact support and have been waiting for more than 24 hours for assistance. My Control Panel opens and goes away, but I could remove tweetdeck which is among the most recent installations of software I did before this all happened. I am also running xampp on my desktop and I tried to put in place a virtual host by using a different port - could not get that to work and changed the host to the original file. Could it be the problem? I hope I did not reinstall my OS and destroy my computer :-(I also ran Microsofts diagnostic tool and write it here:

Hello Ebflute,
I suggest that you perform a repair installation.
Repair facility:
You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this still does not resolve all problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) (if this is not successful.)
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Please make sure that you back up all the important data before you continue. Please visit: methods for your backup files.
Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.
2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.
3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.
4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.
5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.
6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

OK, so I'm a new student and my laptop has just decided to stop working. I had the laptop for 2 years but I have not used until I came to College. Long story short, I wanted to use it as a working laptop and one im using now for media.
Anyway, I started the dv6 and it was fine so I jumped to get a coffee. As I got home I heard a click and then the screen was cut off and now it will not turn back. I tried the hard reset, take out the battery for 15 minutes. The battery charge indicator does not come on either. I use an original HP charger and have connected it to a plug adapter multiple with an influx of cutting on it.
No LED, no noise, no charge indicator. Can someone help me with this, extremely upset I've saved this laptop for her than to die in the first week.
Not sure, but there's less chance of it. Given that the laptop is not put under tension with other adapters. You must take it to store to get the verified motherboard.

all the addons suddenly stopped working
About 30 seconds after opening the browser, my blinked the eyes off theme. The color of the text remains, but not graphics. Also my suddenly disappeared multirow bookmarks toolbar addon. They are always enabled, they just don't do anything. I have already downloaded all the updates and check the updates on my addons. I tried in safe mode, disabling, re-enabling all. I changed the file prefs.js (a fix on one of the posts). I restarted the computer, windows xp, open and closed the browser. I can look at other themes, and will change the color of the text, but nothing else.
You can attach a screenshot?
- http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/screenshot
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
- Use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot
- Make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

Its been working perfectly reliable on a 10 Windows PC until yesterday and now... nothing! If I click on the shortcut on the desktop, or try to run the application, it is even not a splash screen is displayed. But when I look in the Manager of tasks, looks like Lightroom trying to start a background process, but after a few seconds that he faints - there is no sign of work even in the background. But I see that there is another application from Adobe that runs and faints at the same time - called Adobe 32-bit utility License (even if I'm under 10 64-bit Windows)
My PC seems to work very well, outside of Lightroom.
I'm stumped, but before I try going through the whole palaver of an uninstall complete and reinstall, I thought I should ask for help!
(There is no link with the CC is there?) I'm not a Subscriber CC, although I signed up for the 30 day free trial CC earlier - but never had time to do something with it)
Thanks for any help you can offer!
And this was the cause and resolution:
-
Error message: has not been initialized component of application security. The most likely cause is problems with the files in the directory of the profile of your application. Please check that this directory has no read/write
restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and correct the problem. If you continue to use this session, you may see an incorrect application
behavior when you access security features.See:

Drive has suddenly stopped working and will not open a document.
I get errors like "the file ...\AcroRead is not found"also"error 1714 - the older version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot be deleted.". Contact your technical support group"I have returned 10 Windows to Windows 7 if it helps.
In light of this error, I suggest you refer to the doc KB below link:
