• XP... The desktop icons will not put

  XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause. I conducted several audits of malware with paid and free programs and there is no indication of anything invading my system, it works fine other wise. Help!

• Since this morning, shortcut desktop Firefox will not open unless Firefox was already open...

  Aaaaahhhhh - yesterday, everything was fine. Nothing seemed to be a problem. This morning I'm on my laptop to read my emails as usual, a shortcut icon on the desktop for Yahoo, and it does not open. Then I tried several other shortcuts office linking to Firefox and none of them is open. The only shortcut that works is the Firefox that brings me to my home page. Once it is open, then my shortcuts all work. What? I must say that I have others linking to Google Chrome desktop shortcuts, and they all work very well. What is the problem with Firefox that I now already have it open to allow my shortcuts to open? It is so annoying not being able to just to open things directly from the desktop. I tried to delete all shortcuts and reapply them. It does not help. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you

  Just checked the other shortcuts and they have now all seems to be a new behavior - I guess I had a fleeting event on my hands!

• Installed IE 8 on my vista laptop at home and now my Palm desktop computer will not open.

  The office that came with my palm Centro has worked well for a year. I installed IE8, now when I try to open the Palm desktop, that it does not open. I can hotsync via the USB port. Windwoes said there is a problem and it cannot open, but will want to know if there is a solution. Windwoes is not to find a. I tried to go back to a previous restore point, still nothing. I don't have bluetooth on my computer so new desktop 6.2 is not an option. Help please

  Hello geocostello and thank you for posting on the forums...

  You can reinstall the office 4.2 that accompanies your centro via the CD.  (if you have one yet...)  If not, you can go the palm.com and do a search for Desktop Manager 4.2 and download it, then install it.  This should not affect your data.  Before doing so, try to go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall from there Office Manager.  Then re-install the software.  Yet once, it should not affect your data.

  If the software does not uninstall from Add/Remove Programs, you can go to microsoft and download the Microsoft uninstall utility.  This should remove the software and registry entries and allow you to re - install the Desktop manager 4.2

  Let us know what happens...

  Thank you

• Hi, could you tell me why my contact icon will not open when I try to open it.

  Hi, my contact icon didn't remain open when I try to open it.

  Try a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything.
