You're running in the so-called 'Small footprint Mode.' To change it back
and the sequel to this mode to normal mode, just double-click on the

  • The Task Manager shows only the connection information of network with no menu - how to fix?

    I when I try to open the task manager of the only information that appears is the news of network connections.  There is no menu, and when I right click the only option is to close.

    Looks like you run the Task Manager using tiny/small footprint.

    If you double-click on the empty space around the border of the screen of the Task Manager, it will change from normal mode, and then you should see the tabs you are accustomed to seeing.

  • The Task Manager shows RFLed is a running application.

    The Task Manager shows RFLed is a running application. It is still there and seems to be a little hard drive. Computer is an ASI Innovace running Vista Home Premium and only a few months. Equipped with a wireless keyboard and mouse. 2 GB of RAM and 1 terabyte of disk.

    Analysis of virus and Spyware scans are both clear. Looking for a file/folder produces a result draw.

    What is this application and I should remove it?

    RFLed is a utility that my new keyboard and computer to use. It is a gateway keyboard and does not contain the NumLock or CapsLock LEDs on it, but a poster on the graphic screen every time I change these settings. It is annoying because it takes me out of my program document for 5 seconds if I accidentally hit the CapsLock key while typing.

  • Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but only opens a window.

    I can't get Firefox to open a window. I tried firefox-p (Profile Manager) and firefox-safe (safe mode), but nothing works to open a window. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that solves nothing. I haven't changed anything recently, so perhaps there is a update (?) Here's what happens:

    I try to start Firefox, and the Task Manager indicates that Firefox is running. It employs about 32 k of memory, but the window never opens.

    I click Firefox again. Manager tasks indicates 2 Firefox process now. The second is to use about 4 k of memory. Running Firefox repeatedly adds additional tasks to Firefox, each using about 4 k of memory.

    After about a minute, the additional tasks of Firefox (the 4 k ones) start closing 1 by 1. I am now down to only 2 Firefox process, using 32 k and 4 k of memory, respectively. As far as I know, these processes will last forever, until I have shut them down manually. If I run Firefox again without closing the current process, it creates another 4 k process, which finally closes itself. If I close all the processes manually, I can start over from scratch. Meanwhile, Firefox never opens a window, or give a clue showing that it is running, with the exception of the processes listed in the Manager tasks.

    I deleted the one in my USER folder without change. There are a couple more in various C:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles files, so I deleted those too, without change.

    It's a custom location. Normally, the profiles are under AppData\Roaming, I think you already know. There is a shortcut:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    

    This folder must contain a profiles.ini file (.ini file extension may be hidden), which shows the names and paths to your profile folder (s). If you check in a text editor such as Notepad, this file contains sound data?

    If this started right after an update, it could be a problem with security software, put an end to the commissioning (rules of program control) or program files has been corrupted.

    You can check your firewall and other security software for program restrictions.

    To meet possible corrupt files, I suggest:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 43.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) to rename the folder of the program as follows:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (D) to run the installation program that you downloaded in step (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    A cleanly reinstalled Firefox starts up normally?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • I tried each posted end and can't do the stub.exe or the setup.exe to run. The Task Manager shows the file is running, but absolutely nothing happens.

    I used to have firefox installed. The last update ran for hours by saying he had applied. I uninstalled firefox, and now I can't install it again. I think I tried everything. Download the stub file or the configuration file, but they do not run. I tried to create a profile using the idea of % appdata %. Nothing happens. Need serious help.

    Before I posted my question, I did all this except that I do not restart after uninstalling firefox. However, I have restarted several times since. I don't let my computer started if I do not use it. Secondly, somehow, I must have deleted my profile. Following the instructions, I could not find.

    I don't care. I tried something different. I restored my computer to a point of restoration later in January. And now, I had an icon of firefox once the recovery is complete. However, he wouldn't. Said that he could not find XPCOM. I used the control panel to uninstall firefox. Didn't happen. But, I tried the full download of the page "Download firefox in your language". It worked, it worked! Yay!

    Thanks to you who responded to this specific question and to all those who have responded to similar questions. I think I've tried them all. Restoration has been the thing that has done the trick for me. Now, I'm better set a new restore since what I am entitled to firefox doing this response point. Thanks again.

    All attached files of the DMP are the verification of bug DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER (F7) .

    This indicates that a driver has saturated a stack-based buffer.

    A driver invaded a buffer based on the stack (or a local variable) in a way that would have replaced the function's return address and jumped to an arbitrary address when the function returned.

  • Why are there no end process in the Task Manager tab.

    Why are there no end tab process in the Task Manager because it usta be a on windows xp, that makes it eaiser to end a game if you do not want it to start. In addition, some games when you exit out of them sometimes play on words to say (on steam) is currently unavailable. That when I try to log out of steam to get the game to work again, he says "game works must end game before disconnection which is the process you need to put end to which you can't because there is no process tab.
