  • Why the function "move to new window" that I used to use does not work when I right click on the tab more?

    It was when I right click on the tab in Firefox I could use the option 'Move to the new window'. Now when I go down to this option, it seems it will work, but nothing happens. The other day I changed some options in Firefox, but I don't remember changing anything that sounded as if it would have this effect, and now I can't find all the options that seem to fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello Beorn, probably the problem is an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  • The mouse does not work on my new Satellite L750/L755

    Hello world

    I bought a toshiba Satellite L750/L755 but the mouse does not work, I have no control on it that if I use an external mouse, while I have put pressure on the touchpad.
    I tried the following options:
    I updated the driver - I changed the operating system

    but nothing, still the same problem. Next laptop will be a Mac for sure.

    I look forward to hear from you

    Daniele

    Hello Daniele

    It's really strange that the touchpad does not work even if you have installed the right driver and installed the operating system again. At the first moment, we can say there is probably a hardware problem, but please be sure touchpad is listed in the Device Manager and also active correctly (FN keys).

    Check it please all the properties of the mouse.

  • Cick on the left of the mouse does not!

    Hello

    I started having a problem with my left mouse click button responding really slow several days ago. You will need to press the left click for a few seconds to answer. It became worse progessively where the left click button does not at all. The right click button works. I did everything I could have regarding watch KB from Microsoft. I have Windows XP Home Edition. At first I thought it was due to lack of memory. I was able to free up disk space and currently have 35 GB free of 74.4 total.

    I ran the McAfee and Spybot with no viruses found. Also ran Disk Defragmenter. Then I tried another mouse with a different port. Used a mouse with a round port that plugs in the back. I also used a mouse wheelie with rectangular USB port forward without change.

    I also did a clean boot and uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers of mouse without change. Also a system restore without change.

    However, I reconfigure the mouse so that the right click is the left click. While the physical button left click does not work on two mice... the right click worked as main!

    So I wonder if there is something wrong with the system. Any help would be appreciated.

    First of all you should confirm that your mouse device is OK.

    Check your mouse alleged defective on another machine; If it works fine here, you could have a card mother ICH southbridge IC or i/o controller problem which is very rare but can be seen in the old machines (over 3 years).

    I don't think that software point of view you can remedy as the same symptoms going on with USB PS/2 & the two. On your side you can also clean boot of the operating system. So now the suspect is material.

    Please leave a final answer what was detected exactly wrong. As the case will help other users to enhance the experience.

  • Windows 8 - horizontal scroll on the mouse does not

    Hello, everyone,

    I have a system running 64-bit Windows 8. My Gigabyte M6980 mouse has a wheel tilt with a capacity to reach not only up and down but also left and right. However, the inclination of the wheel does not record in my Win8 machine.

    I plugged the mouse on a Vista laptop where initially the system has not yet recognized the mouse at all (the cursor is not mobile). After going to the Manager of devices and update the driver for the "unknown device" which was M6980, it became a "HID-compatible mouse. I could then move the cursor AND use the horizontal scrolling. On a Windows 7 computer, the mouse was recognized immediately and I could use horizontal scrolling very well.

    I tried to copy mouclass.sys of my laptop Vista and mouhid.sys to C:/Windows/System32/drivers on my machine Windows 8, but then the mouse could not be recognized at all the original files should be restored. The same thing happened when I copied the same files from a Windows 7 machine.

    Gigabyte support response is that the mouse does not officially support Windows 8 and all the features are not guaranteed. There are no drivers available for the device and the only software that comes with it is motor Ghost of Gigabyte for remapping keys. But given that horizontal scrolling works in Windows 7 without any additional software, I suspect driver Windows 8 HID is involved, although I could well be wrong. I couldn't Google solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon,.
    Jesse

    Hi ShiuabKhan,

    Thanks for a quick reply. Windows 8 is now picking up the thin horizontal scrolling messages. I tried to randomly check the software option Gigabyte 'disable horizontal scrolling' and apply changes and then uncheck the new, and, curiously, it started working. However, I install the latest version of the software from Gigabyte (which just happened to be released February 1) in compatibility mode to be on the safe side.

    Although the system is now picking up messages from horizontal scrolling of the mouse, my Battlefield 3 game won't recognize them, but is not a Windows problem, so I'll find an answer elsewhere.

    Thank you much for the help!

    See you soon,.
