Upgraded from Vista to Win 7. Cannot type in any field of Firefox.

I've successfully upgraded my laptop from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

Firefox loads OK, but I'm unable to type in any field of research etc. or even to send this request (I use my desktop computer to send this).

Hope you can suggest how I can solve this problem.

Thank you

Bob

Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will lose all personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

  • After the upgrade from vista to win 7 can install vista on another system?

    I have an older system which will be an upgrade of vista, can I use my vista software and the key for the upgrade of the old system because I upgraded vista to win 7?

    If you have used the license system / operating of Vista as part of the Windows 7 upgrade process: No.

    You cannot use your Vista license anywhere else if it is part of the Windows 7 upgrade process.

  • INSPIRON 545 o/s has been upgraded from Vista to Win 7 - can I update by running just two disks again to get a new computer?

    Hello - this is my first experience here, I hope this is the right place for my next investigation...

    As the topic - I upgraded my 545 with the kit to upgrade DELL moons ago.  I still have the 2 discs provided by DELL.

    I would like to refresh my poor overloaded machine and would like to know if it is possible to do so simply by inserting the 2 discs and repeat as before, which was very successful and the machine has been very stable.  Lately he has slowed down and I'd clean the unwanteds.

    Naturally, on the premise that programs will be lost during the procedure I'll save as required to load later.

    I'll be happy to hear if it is a practical solution for my turgid 545.

    Are anxious words of hearing of the wisdom of the knowledgeable members.

    Greetings - Vicko

    The pilots will not be loaded. Windows will be the base for most of the devices drivers. The real drivers are on your driver disk. Further however later versions to update from the Dell Web site.

    If you need specific help driver provides the hardware for the video controller ID and the wireless card (if you have a wireless card). These are the only variants in the system. Once I have this I can tell you precisely what to install. For instructions, see here:

  • Chicony Webcam not accessible after upgrade from Vista to Win 7 Home Premium

    I've upgraded or updated for Windows - 7 Edition Home Premium a couple of years on my Toshiba Satellite U305-S7448.  It has built in Chicony Webcam.  The camera used to have a Panel control that opens on the edge of the screen.  Now, no matter where I look at and I went to the Toshiba and Chicony sites to get the drivers I don't find a way to turn on the camera.  If I use Skype, it turns on and works normally for this function.  Recently, I clicked to add a profile picture on Google + and once again the camera came and worked very well.  When I look at the devices and click on the camera it tells me that it works correctly.  What escapes me that I can't use the camera as I could when I had Vista on the laptop originally?

    Thanks for all the advice and assistance to anyone.  I don't know exactly how to use these forums and technology in general.  I just want to know all that, after tripping over the Toshiba support site I finally found the solution to my problem.  There is a download for what they call the Total Value Package I think is the name.  It must be installed before the drivers webcam and then everything works as it did when the laptop was new.  Down load is listed as, util_tvap_TC00214700M, in my folder.

    need to upgrade from vista to win 7 or 8, so I can eventually get windows 10 - do I have to buy 7 or 8?

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    And the free update for 7/8.1 10 is over.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

    If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

    There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

    Hello cdrudd, welcome.

    We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

    1. connect an external drive or flash drive
    2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
    3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
    4 choose "Command Prompt"
    5. type the following command:

    CD c:

    | Come in

    users of CD

    | Come in

    dir

    | Come in

    From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

    copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

    | Come in

    * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

    Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

    copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

    You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.

    Let us know if you have a copy of your user data backup job. Please let us know if you have any questions.
