Should I get rid of versions of Visual C++?
I was recently looking through the Uninstall list on my new laptop to get rid of some unwanted waste when I noticed several labeled Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable files. It does not however of any location of these files anywhere, and I can't seem to find them. Two are marked with x 64 and x 86 and are 12 and 13 MB in size. How can I find this program? I know that it is used in software development and I'm rather curious as to why it is seems to be 'hidden' in my computer...
Bring the matter to the author of the plugin. The author has the source code and can debug to see what is happening inside the plugin.

Was wondering if I'd still have both or just one. Also I tried to delete the 5 Lightroom, and it wasn't an option. I'm new to the creative cloud thing.
CC of LIghtroom is a separate application that is included with the subscription of creative cloud. LR5 can co-exist with it, or you can uninstall.

Please answer quickly...
Please see my response to your other post in the networking forum. CSRSS.exe if located in the Windows/System 32 program is a Windows core system file. If it is elsewhere (not to mention the Prefetch - see below for that) it's a Trojan horse. By my suggestions to you in the other forum, you should always make sure that your computer is free from virus/malware when troubleshooting so that you know that you are working from a clean base.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
The file you mention in your question is a Prefetch file. Here is an explanation of what is Prefetch:
The files in the Prefetch folder are files of data associated with the speed improvement to the what applications start. Windows XP monitors files that are used when the computer starts and when you start applications. By monitoring these files, Windows XP can preload the. Data preloading is the process by which the data that should be requested are read-ahead in the cache. Preloading of applications and startup files decreases the time required to start Windows XP and launch applications. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

What is appbario8 and what is it for? Should I get rid of him? How? Thank you
I redirected the homepage back to Google.com. But additional pages go to a generic page. There is also a malware? Or just something that you guys are using?
Hello pili308, this page is certainly not used by a fresh install of firefox. other research about appbario8 success suggests it could be malicious associates. You can try to install the Search reset extension which restores the common parameters which often change programs to their default values.
also take a look at what to do when searches take you on the wrong search site

Should I get rid of old files from Lightroom and start again?
I messed up download in Lightroom and about half of my photos and files "is not found." While Lightroom has been deleted when my PC was repaired, so my I just downloaded again. I want to download correctly this time. No pictures is currently in Lightroom.
I have the following locations of photo on my PC: my images, external hard drive (ED) 1 and (ED) 2. All have bits of catalogues Lightroom etc (not the photo files can I open) on them. I have a plan and want to know if it will work.
I'll make all my photos on ED1 outside of Lightroom. I'll remove Lightroom from my computer AND delete the "bits" containing photos of all three locations.
I can download Lightroom again and download my pictures inside of ED1. This way Lightroom will know where they are.
My plan will subsequently be to download all photos of ED 1. (How can I configure this?) I want to set up Lightroom to backup to ED2. (How do I do this?)
I would appreciate help as my previous attempts to solve the problem just make it worse!
I'll make all my photos on ED1 outside of Lightroom.
I assume that you know how to do it
I'll remove Lightroom from my computer AND delete the "bits" containing photos of all three locations. I then download Lightroom again
Completely useless. Open Lightroom, select file-> new catalogue and you will have an empty empty catalog to use. You must then import the ED1 photos using the Add option (MOVE or COPY, as appropriate)
My plan will subsequently be to download all photos of ED 1.
I guess you means importation and not download. In the import dialog box, select the option COPY and then under Destination (on the right side), you select the appropriate folder to import into on ED1.
I want to set up Lightroom to backup to ED2. (How do I do this?)
You can use the third-party backup software to achieve for the photos. You can use Lightroom itself to make backups of the catalog file (it is under the catalog settings).
Alternatively, you can tell Lightroom to make copies of your photos to ED2 to import, as explained here: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/photo-video-import-options.html#back_up_photos_duri ng_import if you do this, you will still need to make regular backups of your catalog (via the option in the catalog settings) file

Upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista to get rid of the Virus?
I currently have VISTA, but I just got the CD to upgrade Windows 7 from my school, its necessities by my program (paid with the included activation key). I would like to format my whole hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 7 from scratch. One, I wanted to Windows 7 on the PC anyway and two, I don't know that a good formatting should help get rid of this annoying virus I had trouble with for so long. However, keep in mind that I have only a Windows 7 'Upgrade CD', not the 'full' Version It let me install 7 times I do the formatting, or it only allows me to 'upgrade' to a currently installed operating system? I really wouldn't want to format my drive together and get stuck without being able to install Windows 7. I hope my question is clear. Please let me know if I need to be more specific. Thank you!
Do not reformat the entire disk (leave the partition recovery and system, partitions reserved in place). Then, follow these instructions and be perpaired to activate by phone. Your only other option is to reinstall Vista and then you pass, this can do less annoying activation.

How can I get rid of the new toolbar that have been added by versions 20 and 21?
I tried both versions 20 and 21, and both have the bugs below, so I ended up having to reinstall version 19:
Versions 1.) 20 and 21 Add a new toolbar that has nothing more than a button "Firefox" on it--and no way to get rid of this toolbar is provided. It wastes far too much space on my laptop screen - button should be placed on an other toolbars, or simply part of the defined icon that users can use to customize their menus or other toolbars bar.
2.) this new toolbar is not customizable. Therefore, I don't have the ability to recover space on the screen by the way all of my sidebar on the new toolbar, and then hide the MenuBar.
(3.) the back, forward and stop. reload buttons in my menubar no longer work. Return to the navigation toolbar and display this toolbar do not solve the problem. Or I can right-click on a web page and select these functions in the context menu: they are disabled for life again.
4.) I can no longer right-click on the menu bar or a toolbar and get a context menu you I can choose an option "Customize" - I can't ALL a context menu. In order to customize things for versions 20 or 21, I must first reinstall the version 19, make customizations, and then reinstall the version 20 or 21.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

On the Google home page, there is a blue bar that reads-
"Discover a faster way to surf the web. Install Google Chrome no thank you'.My previous version of Firefox, v14 something, wouldn't show this blue bar once that I didn't choose "thank you."
the '' no thanks '' has no effect on Firefox v15.
Just register to post these tips for those who want to get rid of the annoying blue of google local.
I recommend to use Ad-Block Plus for this purpose. When you are on Google and the blue pop up thing, click on the Ad-Block Plus logo in the bottom left of your Firefox and select 'open blockable items '. It blocks everything (or once you spot to be at the origin of the pop - up) scripts.
This should help. -
