some of my (links) shortcut in the start menu programs are "empty". How can I fix the problem? Ron
Links to programs on the start menu appear as "empty" when I run the mouse over them. I've recreated some of them, but it's not the biggest problem of why it happened in the first place. Help, please. Win XP Pro SP3 IE 8.0 Dell Dimension 2400.
Hi RonaldPease,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
· What do you mean by "links to programs on the start menu appear as"empty"when I run the mouse over them"?
· You are able to launch programs by clicking on them?
Perform a system restore and check if the problem persists.

Suddenly, I can longer open my pictures folder. I tried to move a picture to the folder to see what is happening and received an error message saying I was not allowed to display the contents of the folder and if I move the picture here, I won't be able to see. I ran disk utility and found no permissions error.
How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user. No one else has ever physical access to my computer. However, I sign up for Skyhub a few weeks ago and copied the contents of my Macbook it. Since then, a "Remote disk" icon on my hard drive. This would be part of the problem?
Select it, choose get the information on the file menu, open the section sharing and permissions and give you access.

Looks like you have not stop applications before disconnection / close AND you have the box to "reopen the windows" when next tiquetee connecting. Either completely out of your applications or uncheck this box when you stop. Or both.

All of a sudden, I get all my emails in text only. I prefer to receive emails in HTML format. How can I fix my thunderbird to display the emails received in html?
In the main menu bar:
View (Alt - V) - body of the Message as - HTML Original -
Not always, but often, the program thinks my own email, that I just wrote, is spam. Often, it is a response to an email sent to me and sometimes, if they have an image in the signature line, and I remove their image of my answer, it will send very well (I can leave the rest of what they wrote, and remove only the image of the signature line). Or sometimes, if I finish the first attempt and try a new message or a new response, then it works...
But sometimes, nothing I will not convince the program that my OWN email that I want to send is NOT spam! The person I send to is EXPECTING and he waits! Why he won't send? Why he thinks I'm send spam?
I looked at my server settings, but I have no idea what it would be under.
How can I fix it? I NEVER send spam, I need this problem is solved so that it DOESN'T happen. Thanks for any help.
The mail server responded:
As indicated in the error message, it's from the server. Thunderbird has nothing to do with it. You will need to talk to your email provider why they mark your message as spam.

I can't find an answer to this question. I save pictures of sites .gov to accompany the latest news that I write. I work as a standard user and don't use the account administrator to computer problems. But when I save pictures and PDF files that they do not appear on my desk or in my photos, instead, they go to the administrative account. I end up having to go to the admin acct send to me, so I can access it on my standard user account. How can I fix?
Thank you, make it a great day!
When you save the photo, enter
C:
in the file name box, press ENTER to go. This will show the top part of your hard drive. Now, open the users folder and find the right place to save. This will save appropriately instead of the other account.

Firefox does not start what is happening and how can I solve this problem?
I click on the link office or one in my Start menu and it will not open and does so even literally take 20 minutes. More when I close it looks closed, but when I try to reopen it, a window appears saying that Firefox still works when it is actually not. I have to restart my computer everytime to get it working again.
My default browser still works fine and so did Fire Fox until a few days ago.One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
