Two of the application window are enabled at the same time when I click on an icon in the taskbar of an application.

When I open a window of the application in Windows 7, and then press the keyboard windows, if I click on an icon in the taskbar to another window, I find that each of the two windows is activated. I use Spy ++ to monitor both windows messages in this scenario and esteem that both windows obtained the WM_ACTIVATE message. If I right click on an icon in the task bar of the window of the second just after press the windows key, I find that the first window will activate everything first and soon to be switched off.  What is a feature of the taskbar of Windows 7 or a bug in Windows 7?

  • Firefox does not start when I click on its icon. As far as I can see, all the program files are present.

    Firefox functioned perfectly earlier today. Tonight, when I tried to start Firefox as I usually do by clicking its icon in the quick start of Windows 7 bar there is no frequency. The same thing happens when I click on the application icon in Windows Firefox program folder. Is some way this can be fixed easily?

    I ran a full scan with Norton 360, Malawarebytes and Iobit Malware Fighter, whose no is no problem. Also, I checked the settings of Norton 360 and found no problem with the settings of Firefox. I downloaded the Firefox installation files and ran a custom implemented, by clicking on upgrade. Firefox now works well with all the Add-ons, bookmarks, history, cookies and saved passwords intact.

  • Can I use an antivirus on each of my hosts and guests at the same time when running a virtual environment on my PC?

    I have Windows 7 running on my main computer at present and that you have a virtual environment installed as an operating system on this computer very.

    I would like to know if I am able to run an internet security on my pc (Windows 7) host program and other internet security on my guest in my virtual environment operating system (pc windows 8)... at the same time.

    I ask this question because... I installed my OS of windows 8 in a virtual environment running inside my Windows 7 OS in order to familiarize yourself with the features of windows 8 and to test the compliance of windows 8 with various hardware components I use... to satisfy my curiosity before I migrate eventually completely to windows 8.

    Part of my tests would involve various software including Internet security applications.

    So the question is... I was able to save my virtual environment with an Internet security program, while having an Internet security program running in the host computer?

    PS my environments hosts and guests are not put networked with the exception of the common external drives and dvd burners. The plan being that the Internet security on my host computer program will have my analysis excluded virtual environment.

    Yes

    The systems are completely separated from each other, will not affect the different AntiVirus on another product.

    If you decide to test another Internet security program don't forget to completely remove the old version on the virtual machine

  • Changing the default action when you click on an icon.

    When double clicking on a folder icon that opens a search window.  If you right click it, it opens a menu as only normal 'search' at the top, is "BOLD".  How can I change the default action to 'open '?

    Finally got an answer to this one.  A friend, I called did.  In windows Explorer, click Tools, and then select the folder options.

    Under the tab "File Types", select "File Folder", then click "Advanced".

    This will allow you to change the settings of the menu file type.

  • When I click on onknown icon wifi connections are checked with "connect automatically" why?

    the small icon 'wifi' on the taskbar of my laptop has six other House and wifi connections listed. I only know me. When I click the wifi icon, four of the six say "connect automatically". is it safe? Why it will remain unchecked in the box? concerned.

    Hi Lynne,

    This option is by design. The option "connect automatically" is always checked for any open network (such as a secure network) so that you do not manually connect (each time) if the laptop comes in the range of open network.

    If you do not automatically connect to an open network, then uncheck the option.

    If the option is checked, even if you do not want to connect to a network, there is no harm.

    If you have concerns, please let us know.

    Hello

    Method 1: Start your computer in a clean boot, and then try to take backup in order to check whether a third-party program is causing the problem. To configure your computer to clean boot see the following link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Method 2: If the problem persists then, I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and then try to take backup and check if that helps. To do this, please see the following article. The SFC/SCANNOW command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • Start menu Windows 7 lack of dialog box run; At the same time Star right Click of the mouse symbol does not work; more...

    This will provide some background: for several months, I had problems with Windows 7 (could not start normally, had to use the Safe Mode Networking - finally adjusted msconfig/services and began to access Windows normally - time during Safe Mode, I've resorted to the restoration of the system, tried twice, failed.) However, just 'try' restore, discovered many files, including the .dll was corrupt Restore execution.

    Currently cannot run Flash Player (current) v16.0.0.235. Exactly, I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, all to nothing done. Script errors are no longer constant, in order to be in line continues to be a nightmare. Menus in the program are not normal, just as text lists with no toolbar;  Half of my desktop program icons have the orange planet Firefox, not with the program icon or custom icon which they are responsible; the Start Menu appears now abbreviated, for example, that run the box is suddenly absent (access very important to me).

    Incidentally, I also have problems with Firefox and, above all, bookmarks in Gmail. As for the latter, I don't know if this is an integral part of I'm having problems with Windows, or as a result of the fiasco of ShockWave (Flash Player).

    Any help would be wonderful! Whether extensive or complex, step by step would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance...

    Hi lady,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    According to the description of problem I can understand that you have difficulties running windows in normal mode, to access the computer in mode normal, you have to enter the mode safe mode with networking, perform the clean boot by msconfig to access normal mode and all your icons on the desktop has a symbol of Firefox instead of having the symbol of the actual program. Don't worry, we'll guide you to get the problem resolved.

    This problem occurs mainly because of the malware infection. I suggest you follow the below mentioned methods and check if it solves the problem.

    Method 1

    Malware scanner

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Warning: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Note: After running malware scan I suggest you to restart the computer, and follow method 2.

    Method 2

    Difficulty of file association

    A file association associates a file with an application capable of opening that file. More commonly, a file association, is a class of files (usually determined by their file name extension, such as .txt) associated with a corresponding request (for example, a text editor). A file association is a relationship between a file type and application of support. For example, a Word document can be associated with Microsoft Word. After removing some malware tends to corrupt the file, to your computer.

  • Cannot move all the files as windows explore crashes - it happens every time when you use an external hard drive (several readers have been tested and work on other machines)

    I need to move files on my laptop, but windows crashes Explorer everytime I try this. This also applies when you use an alternative program to explore. It didn't happen last week but regularly spent the last six months. It is now that I need to migrate these files (mainly the images, but also the music and office documents).

    Thank you

    Make sure that the device is compatible with Vista, the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.

    If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  You need to find the NAS device and the NICs in particular - but it would not hurt to look at all the when you're there.

    Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and select the first option (recommended) to see if the system can detect the device.  If this does not work, choose the second and provide the information requested on the device.  You will be asked for drivers - have their practice.  Follow the prompts to install the device (NAS).  Make sure that it is plugged in and turned on when you do so, or he not be recognized.  It's the hard way of installing a hardware device, but your system obviously isn't automatically recognize it then do it manually. Here is a brief tutorial on how to do so: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Windows-Vista :-Running-the-Add-Hardware-Wizard /.
