• Firefox opens not today.

  Fire fox starts today. Worked fine last night.

  Error Msg... "Alert message. "... says:
  Could not initialize the safety component of the application. The most likely cause is problems with the files in the directory of the profile of your application. Please check that this directory has no restriction of read/write and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and correct the problem. If you continue to use this session, you may see incorrect application behavior when you access security features.

  I scanned for viruses and maleware, rebooted... no luck.

  Now I have to use brand X,... the Explorer.

  Help!

  The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

  Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder in case there is a problem with the file.

  You may need to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
  Firefox will create new files.

• C50D-A-13W (PSCGWE) satellite crashes during playback of video files

  Hello

  my laptop stops during playback of flash (like youtube or facebook videos) files, and then there is a blue screen with a sad face and the following text: "(atikmdag.sys) system_thread_exception_not_handled.
  my system is windows 8.1 and I already reinstalled the display driver (I used this one: http://www.toshiba.de/innovation/dow...jsp?service=DE)

  There is no virus or maleware on the laptop.

  Thanks for the help!

  atikmdag.sys is part of the ATI graphics card driver...

  I think that the problem is caused by the graphics card... probably the ATI driver is the reason why the BSOD appears...

  The laptop was not equipped with a dedicated GPU, but the graphics card part of the Kabini A4-5000 AMD processor AMD Radeon HD 8330 done graphics card

  Perhaps you could uninstall this driver and install a new update...

• Recovery question

  If I create a new partition (partition storage) to store my default programs, files, images, and music.

  Will be wipe my files if I do the recovery to remove spam and viruses (and maleware + spyware)?

  Hello

  If you believe that you can have a lot of malicious software on your PC and want to reinstall the operating system, it would be better to do it from your recovery DVDs instead of using the recovery Partition (which may be infected) hard disk.  However, I believe that this would erase all extra partition, you may have created, so my advice would be to save all of your external media such as a flash drive, hard drive, external files or DVD.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows XP Home Edition does not load in any mode after reboot to uninstall Norton

  I wanted to get rid of Norton anti-virus, then, I have downloaded and run the Norton Uninstaller. After what seemed an eternity he finished and asked me to restart the computer to complete the uninstalation. I clicked the botton "Restart now" and after the screen, which shows the bios is nothing. No loading screen, no beeps or anything else, just black. In addition, it does the same thing in all modes.

  I removed the HDD and an IDE to USB for connecting to my mobile backup (Win7 Ultimate) and performed a virus with TrendMicro Titanium antivirus scan + and scan with malewarebytes paid version maleware. No virus or maleware found. So, I ran a check/repair through backup with no found error disc.

  I do not have a XP or 7 CD repair/install, nor am I money right now. I really need to get going again.

  Infected computer:

  Compaq Presario M2000

  Windows XP Home Edition SP3

  Processor Intel Centrino Pentium M 1.5 GHz

  1 GB of RAM

  Intel Extreme Graphics 2

  Machine backup:

  Dell Inspiron 1501

  Windows 7 Ultimate Edition SP2

  AMD Turion 64 MK - 36 2.0 GHz

  3 GB RAM

  Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1150

  Looks like you somehow corrupted the bootloader.

  If I'm not mistaken, you can technically download disc for Microsoft Windows XP SP3 OEM HOME legally, as long as you use your current license.

  You can also communicate with Compaq and request a repair disk.

• Local disk C ran out of place?

  Hey everybody

  I just noticed that my C drive is running out of space! 15 GB free out of 111 GB, how is that possible? I barely all installed programs, it is basically just windows, how can she take so much space?

  Would it be a virus or a malicious program that is developing the space? I ran a control anti-virus + anti-maleware tile and both found nothing

  How can I clean and add taken space?

  at this rate I will literally run out of space all the way up to 0

• Insufficient disk space and space running low.

  A few days ago, MY desk top HP Pavilion a4313w has suddenly had no storage space left disc on drive C. No virus or Maleware detected, but it is now up to 8.6 GB. When he was 178 289 GB GB. Now I know it is not formatted like that, but still a bit it was wondering.

  I plan on the withdrawal of the HD and change a few things to play better and digital 3D programs.  I just want to know for future problems

  Ty very much

  Try a file scanner to see where the hard drive space is used:

• Cannot run command line error during program installation

  One of the suppliers with which our company works sent us a new program to securely transmit data between our computers and their server. I installed it on all of our computers but. I have run the install and I get a box that appears and says:

  . / files. Ink

  Cannot run commandline

  It is a professional Windows 7 system with all updates. Other computers I installed on are a mix of Win 7 Home & Professional and 2 systems to win 10.

  When I look at the installation on other computers, it is a simple installation of Installshield.

  I ran several programs to check the virus or maleware and he comes clean. I have run chkdsk /f and sfc/scannow. I run cleaning programs and defragmented the disk.

  It doesn't matter if I run it in compatibility mode different or as an administrator. Result in the box to appear.

  I can't pass this system to earn 10 again because of other programs that need to run on it.

  I could use you help figure this.

  Thank you

  I solved my problem. It seems at one point that the user has installed a program called UltimateZip not realizing that Windows would decompress the files for it. Later, she deleted the program and he had left his associations in the registry. I ran some programs uninstaller to make sure that none of the programs files have been left and then here:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html and downloaded the

  files needed to restore the association for exe, zip, and lnk files. I followed the instructions on the site and merge the registry entries. I restarted the computer and was able to install the program. In fact, it is a simple process. Thanks to sevenforums for having this help there. I hope this helps someone else.

• 21 GB is used in System Volume Information, but also users of 140 GB.

  I really hope someone can help me.  My hard drive of the laptop win 7 (Acer) is suddenly filled almost to the maximum.  I tried every virus scan, Maleware bytes, MS security scanner, etc, and no virus is found.  I downloaded TreeSize Free, and he said that 221 GB is used in System Volume Information, but also users of 140 GB.  It's all in my c drive because it's the only one I have.  There is a drive d, but there is nothing in what I can say that I can't say that I am sharper in the hangar tool when it comes to fixing my computer and I read as much as I could on the subject.  I found that I need to go to the system protection, but I can't find it on my system.

  Any guidance with patience and a lot of details would be greatly appreciated.

  For starters, I suspect that the system volume information are backups or restore points.  You can remove off the oldest by changing the amount of HD, you assign to backups and you can run the disk Cleanup Wizard to remove temporary files.

  You've got a snip of the users say what can be deleted here I can't imagine anything to a user who would use 1/10th of that amount.

  More necessary info...

  Thank you for your quick response. In the meantime I found (thanks to reading on this forum) that I need to do a system repair for the return system protection tab so I could delete restore points saved.  Once this is done, I got a huge amount of space, and I'm not too freaked out.  I will later consider the users files.  By snip, I know that it means a picture but I don't remember how to do it.  Can you help me on this?

  Thanks again for being so quick.  I'm not as stressed as me when I wrote the question.

• Win 7 firewall free ativated?

  I disabled it when I installed Win 7. Each update I check that it has not been reactivated. I'm a computer technician who started with BACK 3.0. I have been disabled (participating does not work) for 8 years or so. The basics are covered. I'm NOT in the mood "Newbie" questions about stupidity of 'support' you get when you call your ISP to find out how long a power outage will last or if it has been reported yet. I restarted my PC and opened a MMO game romp and suddenly had a prompt for authorization Win Firewall? That I was distracted by a chronic pain worse than normal and my young teenager. I do NOT not on PC security. Never. Then. no update auto-Win, no virus or maleware, no change in System... blah, blah newbie *. More than 20 years of struggle for the holiness of my PC firewall and win all of a sudden starts after a reboot? I'm so sick of this kind of * it's not funny.

  Hey

  Restore the settings of the firewall to factory settings and reset as you demand that it might help
