  I play runescape and lately to get java error on my desktop icons very much, they are labeled hs_err_pid followed 3 different numbers, help please

  Hi madsman,

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

  For better support please give us the exact error code.

  This could well be a virus problem. If your step would be to run a full scan of PC online using the following link:
  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/Center/whatsnew.htm
  Then, go to your Control Panel and open "Programs and features" and tell us what version of the Java Application you have.

  If you have a Version that is older, then you must remove the older version of "Programs and features" and install the latest version by visiting here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

  It is normally acceptable to load new versions of Java on top of older versions, but in this case we want to start over with a latest full version.

  Scroll down a bit to the "Download Windows Section" and download/install "Windows 7".

  After download/install this newer version. Close all windows and applications that may be running and "restart" your computer.

  Then click the link once more to return to the download page and select the link that reads "Check Java has been installed properly" If the application downloaded/installed correctly then this test will let know you that Java is working properly.

  Your last step would be to run a malware scan using this link:

• How to make a URL shortcut for Blackberry device homescreen for delivery

  Hi, I did some research and it seems confused. So I thought I would ask here.

  As we know to Blackberry 6.0, there is possibility to save a URL as a shortcut to the home screen.  The URL will be different for each device, so it could be sent to the user via email and they might click on it and open it in the browser and save on the home screen.

  However my question is how to do this automatically. Could press us the shortcut (different URL for difference appliances) through the BES Server? Is there another way if there is no BES Server?

  By running this c# application: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Push-Development/Sample-code-A-simple-C-push-appli..., I am capable of pushing the a url shortcut to both Blackberry 6.0 and 5.0 simulators. This would allow us to push different URLS for different devices.

• Virus deleted shortcuts and ALL the icons

  I have a virus which has removed all the icons and shortcuts from: 'Office', 'Start Menu' and 'Windows Explorer '. It seems that he has deleted all the hard drive but the files are still on the hard drive. The problem is that I have not ALL icons. I ve got rid of the virus, but now if I want to run a program I have to go on the hard drive and find out where the .exe file is on your hard drive. Do you know how can I restore or create the icons back?

• Keyboard shortcuts have changed?

  I copy relevant text from a pdf file to paste into a word as a written document and study aid. The shortcut keys don't work - they seem to have changed. Drop-down menus, for example, to find I have use should use Ctrl + G, because Ctrl + F takes me to the play Mode. Zoom I use Ctrl + C and the copy I use Ctrl + c. How to differentiate Big C and c little shortcut keys? I tried searching this problem, but to no avail. I looked through the preferences menu, but have not found anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

  Thank you very much.

  You cannot change the keyboard shortcuts in the Acrobat family, so unless there is something very wrong with your computer they will be always the same:

  Find = Ctrl + F

  Ctrl + H = playback mode (think 'H' for 'head-up display')

  Copy = Ctrl + C

  Paste = Ctrl + V (two values of the system-wide)

  Zoom has a bunch of different missions, but 'Zoom' is Ctrl + Y

  Technically, Ctrl + c and Ctrl + C are different, but it is normal to show the shift in the menus and documentation because it is easier to read, for example in lowercase L and number 1 appear to be almost identical in several fonts. When an explicit capital is required by the software it will always set the combination of keys like "Ctrl + Maj +..."

  Do you mean that the menu items have changed, or the keystrokes are also different, or both? A screenshot of your menus will help you.

• PDF files now have a firefox icon

  WIN XP. Have you checked the settings of binding files and pdf files are oriented toward using Adobe reader. Finished uninstalling FFox31 and icons back to Adobe. Cleaned computer and clean up the completed installation. Icons remained as pdf two reboots and then changed back to FFox icons. Everything works normally, but the icons are like FFox. Have defined FFox application options to "always ask" temporarily.
  I have a second WinXP machine that has updated to 31 FFox without this problem. Strange!

  Hi CMBANA. I got exactly the same problem as you, and after much research could not find an answer that worked.

  But I have now solved the problem of appearing in the form of documents HTML Firefox pdf files. Maybe you can try this, and hopefully it should work for you.

  First, it was not quite a Firefox problem. The solution is also in Adobe Reader itself.

  1. open Adobe Reader
  2 edit - > Preferences
  3. in the categories column, click "General".
  4. at the bottom of the page, click on the button marked «Select default PDF Handler»
  5 in the dialog box, select 'Adobe Reader XI' and click 'apply '.
  6. a screen Configuration of Windows. Let him do his thing (takes a few minutes), and then restart your computer when you are prompted.

  After the reboot, you should find that all your PDF documents are returned to being the Documents Adobe Acrobat and have the appropriate icon. I also noticed that in Firefox options request the option 'use Adobe Reader (default)' had appeared. Then, you can change the options of Firefox application as described in the earlier messages depending on how you want that Firefox to manage the document, for example whether to display the preview, download or open it directly with Adobe Reader.

  Took a lot to sort out, but it works now. Hope it does the same for you.

• Some keyboard shortcuts not working is not in FF27

  After the update to the latest version (FF27), Firefox does not meet some keyboard shortcuts. For example, ctr + shift + T doesn't work (ctr + T works fine). Put aside cela ctrl + < number > does not take me to respective tabs.
  I tried to reinstall FF; but that did not help. (But not a not all delete that data - custom data and firefox in the C drive folder was still there).

  PS - I addon-tab mix more.
