Using Win 7 Pro 64 - bit OS SP1 w / all updates; After the upgrade to Firefox 21.0 the serch in the middle of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page field is no longer works.

I can type in the search field. By clicking the mouse on the button search or by pressing the key 'Enter' has no effect. Search in the Firefox address bar or the search at the top of Firefox window still works browser normally. Never encountered this problem before. Have been using Firefox since it first came out.

Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

The current versions of Firefox use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the subject: homepage.

Check the browser.search.defaultenginename pref on the topic: config page and make sure that it is set to the default value of Google.

  • Browser.Search.defaultenginename

Selected search engine:

  • browser.search.selectedEngine

  • I use win xp pro 32 bit and want to update for win 7 pro, how can I do? I have

    Hi I bought a new PC and need to upgrade all these years I was with win XP pro 32 bit, I need to switch to Win 7 pro. 64 bit...
    what I have to buy a new copy of license or just pay the amount of the upgrade to the new version of windows? If so how do I do that?

    You will need to purchase a new license, unfortunately, you can't buy just the product key, you'll need to buy the package, given that Microsoft is no longer selling just the key.

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

    Version upgrade-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Professional upgrade

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • How can I determine if my system runs Win XP Pro 64-bit?

    I use Win XP Pro and works very well. I was wondering if I could run on my Pentium 4 3.04 Ghz, Northwood Hyperthreaded 64 bit version?

    I tried the command systeminfo and it opens a window, reads my system and immediately closes before I can read the results. There is another parameter of the command line that would keep the window open?

    Which is why upgrading to 64 - bit, I run a few games that would take advantage of my 4 gigs of RAM if I had the upgraded operating system, also think to come to upgrade my computer soon and wanted first to get the new OS first and get it to run, if possible. If I buy it and can not test to make sure I have a viable Microsoft OS and functional, I'll be stuck with it and no available return. It's probably a few months before I finished it to get parts for my new computer. I want XP Pro because I'm used to and because it has less bloating than the newer OS.

    Thanks for your help!

  • Install an SSD in an Inspiron 3650 I7 6700 16 GB Ram 2 TB hard drive Amd R9 380 graphic and running Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    Hello:

    I have the above referenced PC and want to add an SSD (boot with OS drive).  I would like to make this my c: drive ssd.  I want to keep the Windows 7 operating system.  I made the disarmament recovery disks I opened the PC.  I don't want to win 10.

    Could someone with their infinite knowledge teach me throughout the procedure with pictures if possible?  What parts do need me if any?

    Thanks in advance

    Tom

    I thought I was doing a 512 GB SSD.  The system came with Win 10 Pro 64 bit installation floppies, but I'm used to and prefer to use Win 7.  The idea of cloning seems interesting.  In fact, it looks to the ticket.  What cloning software is recommended.  The priority of the boot in the BIOS change after cloning?  I am concerned with what type of SSD should I purchase (interface, transfer rate, etc.), what cables, if any, and which adapters will be necessary?

    At work, I have all my computers run with SSD (OS/startup) and they run like rockets.  This new computer runs great, but with a SSD for the start, program files, "scratch disks", I'll be in the drive hyper.  I'd be in Mary for a bargain price.

    Yet once again, thank you very much for you answer quickly.  I have several Dell optiplex computers in office and did not have a problem.

    Thank you once again to Osprey

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

    I propose to you leave as is and put to upgrade to 8.1 Windows put in day 1 which significantly improves the user experience for mouse and keyboard users, more:

  • Win 7 Pro 32 bit time material plug unplug sound several times with no connection to install new

    Win 7 Pro 32-bit o/s, 3.06 ghz processor, 4 GB of RAM and nothing plugged in, clean and fresh install. There is a game repeated (constantly) connection / disconnected material 'sound' that repeats itself about every 6 seconds. There is nothing connected to the USB ports or something and that a single HD is connected and powered. There is no related tasks on demand for this activity, no programs are installed and no customization of what either just a new installation. I moved the HD to another PC and saw the same event. An another clean install of the o/s was the same. With or without additional programming, the problem is obvious.

    I've eliminated all services by toggle, but the sound continues its repetition. Event and error logs do not display anything.

    Please, comments or any souutions will be appreciated as soon as possible... Microsoft had no entry.

    All I can do to stop the sound to repeat is to turn off the sounds is select 'no sound' in the sound options.

    Hi KJ6I,

    You can check in Device Manager if there are unknown devices that are not getting detected.

    To open the device manager follow the link below.

    Open the Device Manager

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

    In addition, scan for any change of hardware in Device Manager

    Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click on Search the hardware changes. Follow the instructions

    Now, restart the computer and check what is happening.

    Also see the wire that connects the hard drive to the computer, because this could be the reason for the sound.

    You also try to run a check disk to disk and let it repair.

    1. Click Start, type cmd in the start search box, right-click cmd.exe in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    CHKDSK X: /R

    Note: In this command, x is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check.

    3. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    4. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you restart, Windows checks the drive for errors, and then Windows starts.

    5. after the computer restarts, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other volume and try the backup operation again.

    For more information, follow the link below.

    Check a drive for errors

  • Where can I find the Windows Media Player for WIN 7 Pro 32 Bit?

    My windows media player will not open. I upgraded from Windows 7 starter to windows 7 Professional recently. I have windows 7 32-bit professional. I tried to use the 64-bit (this is all that is available on the windows site, but my computer says this is not the right program and will not install it.) Where can I find the WMP for WIN 7 Pro 32 Bit?

    Unless you have an "N" of Windows 7 edition, you must have Windows Media Player. If you have an "N" edition, please visit:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/products/what-is-Windows-7-N-Edition

    For more details and a download link.

    The case, first try to find the executable file for Windows Media Player and create a new shortcut from that.

    1. open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

    2. navigate to:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player

    3. find the file named wmplayer.exe and then right-click on it and create a shortcut on the desktop.

    4. test the shortcut.

    If the above does not work, try:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. look for the entry called multimedia features, expand it, and then *check the box next to Windows Media Player.

    5. click on OK.

    6. restart the PC.

    * If the Windows Media Player box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart your PC, then do steps 1-6 above.
