Search in win 7 does not work
I'm running Win 7 ultimate in a virtual machine under Parallels on an iMac. In general, everything is smoothly for more than a year. However, the search function of Windows 7 is completely dead. It is not serious what I get or what directory I am, Win 7 is not even start looking. If I try to add a supplementary search as a date criterion, it does not help, either. Is it necessary to activate it first in some way? I checked under default programs in Control Panel and Windows Search Explorer says "this program has all its faults." What I am doing wrong?

Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.
Hello
I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.
When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.
I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.
Any suggestions please? Thank you.
Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.
Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:
~/Library/Mail
Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
the contextual menu.* should open a folder.
Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.
Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.
* If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ go to the folder...
from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

Search by name function does NOT WORK.
Before reading further, make a note of this: I have ALREADY installed the add-on "Search by name", and it DOES NOT WORK. By result, please do not suggest this add-on as a solution to my problem, since the module IS my problem.
I used Firefox ESR 10.0.11 and was forced to switch to 17.0.7 yesterday, even though my cfg file is set to not allow updates. Since the upgrade, searching by name function has stopped working, that is to say: I used to be able to type "yahoo" in the address bar and go directly to yahoo; now, when I type everything that is not a full URL in the address bar, he goes to allied.com. I've been in: config and changed the keyword: URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & sourceid = navclient & gfns = 1 & q = and have also installed the add-on search by name. None of these work. Please help me.
Because of this definition of the keyword. URL pref stay?
If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

How can I change the search engines if /searchreset does not work?
I just upgraded to 23 FF, and it or some other setting changed my default Yahoo search engine. I want to go back to Google, which I think is the default value. Another thread of support was driven to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/, but that has not worked. I went in: config and Yahoo changed to Google on several lines, but it did nothing. I tried to change the searchreset.backup.keyword.URL and the keyword. URL, but they would not change the setting Yahoo.
Not only is my default stuck with Yahoo, but even if I click on the arrow pointing downwards in the search box, I can not select a different search manually engine. The drop down menu shows me a list of search engines, but by selecting one of them has no effect. Help?
Hello kirkpete, please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this search on a file named user.js window (it can be used to overwrite your custom settings). where it is present, delete or rename this file and then restart firefox.

Satellite U920T - duplex cam + touch screen + win button does not work
I have the problem as the touch screen + frontal camera + camera rear windows on the screen button do not work.
I tried to install the drivers to display/graphics but that has not helped.
I bought this laptop from Saudi Arabia and it is still under warranty but I am out of country, so I can't ask the warranty as well.
someone please fix this and tell me the solution, or tell me what I need to do?
Help will be really appreciated.
some details on my laptop:Toshiba Satellite U920T-B919.
Windows 8.1 updated 64-bit.Thank you
Since you mentioned different problems with your laptop, I think that in this case its recommended to get the laptop back to factory settings just to check if all these problems are related to the problem of system.
Regarding the webcam: Windows 8/8.1 already contains the webcam drivers and therefore additional webcam driver installation isn t possible. Extra webcam driver is not simply.
From my point of few smells of any description as a bit of a problem of material, the upper part of the slide where the touch screen is part of.
The key win as well that the two cams are located and there are probably some lose the connection between the two parties (touchscreen and keyboard)Anyway, as I said more top, its recommended to recover the laptop to factory settings just to make sure that the system isn t the troublemaker.
In case of hardware problems, you must get in touch service available in your country. -

Mine is a 64-bit system and the new hard drive is a western digital Scorpio. The two drives is / are 500 GB. I used the recovery disks to reload the OS to new hard drive, so I do not understand why this problem occurred. Check Microsoft sites, tried to download the system update tool before you manually download the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, but received an error before installing (0 x 8000247). Tried to get help from HP, but given that the laptop is no longer under warranty, I have to buy a HP warranty $ 14.99 per month for 12 months before they'll talk to me a fix for this problem. This part is really senseless, especially when it is THEIR recovery disks I missed. I do not be fooled by a false sense of security by HP again. I was by Compaq and HP for many years, but this time they hurt me. I didn't not whining when the drive went bad and I had to pay for a new because I didn't buy an extended - warranty which was my fault. But the recovery discs that don't work are lack of HP and I wouldn't have to pay twice for an operating system.
If there is someone out there who has heard of this and has a solution, I would appreciate it really your. Thank you.
There seems to be a WD HDs and some Intel drivers questions. Please download and run Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and restart your system.

Search in HTML Help does not work with the help of Web to CHM converter script
Hello
My problem is simple:
In fact, we use a simple HTML help with a chm file.
The WebHelp offers more possibilities and the new script in RobotHelp 10 prupose for generate a WebHelp in a chm file, so perfect!
But when I use the Web Help for CHM converter script, I generate a good chm file, I open it and do a search. The page on that research are based, but when I want to open one, I always have a message "this program cannot display this webpage".
For more information, the search function works well when I do a simple HTML.
Thank you in advance for your reply,
François
Hello
How this may or may not work may depend on where the CHM is when you open it. It is on your C drive? If this isn't the case, it must be.
In addition, if you copied it, it is possible you have to right click and choose "Unlock" in the property sheet.
See you soon... Rick

Search Google bar suddenly does not work?
A few days ago my google search bar (top left) stopped working. I type in the search and press ENTER, and I get a 404 error page not found (it's his address: http://404.sendori.com/hi & 404handler = true). Written 404 not found error is "nginx/1.2.6", if it means something to someone. I tried a few simple edits I've seen on the forums, as caches of reset. All the other search options, like yahoo and bing, still work, but not Google. How can I fix?
