Volume continues to change spontaneously

I repeatedly put my windows at a low level sounds but they keep resetting to higher volume.  I don't want to cut them off as I went to very difficult to implement a model of bird sounds.  They work fine on my other two computers XP and Vista, but not on this Vista Dell laptop lately.  The setting was stable during the first 18 months of use on this computer.

Hello Cynthia,.

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Vista Community Forums.

First of all, I would like that access you the link below and run 'fix', it could help us solve the sound problem.
http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/1e87a3e8-c0e8-49af-980F-9eb6686f42d21033.mspx

As informed the sound worked well earlier and if the steps above does not resolve the problem, try to perform a restore system to a previous date when the computer was working fine.

To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
4. click on finish.

The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

If the problem persists after you follow the steps above, go to the link below and follow the steps to fix the corrupted user profile. http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/769495bf-035C-4764-A538-c9b05c22001e1033.mspx

Also try online virus scanner. Access the link below and scan your computer infections and remove it.

  • Firefox continues to change the url that I entered

    I've updated a Web site. When I paste the url in Firefox it keeps changing and display a different page.

    The one I want is http://megalithmovers.org/blog-2015-10-24.htm
    Firefox continues to change it to http://megalithmovers.org/blog-2015-01-24.htm
    The two pages are valid (they have the date in the url as YYYY-MM-DD)
    I know that the url is valid, that I stuck in other browsers. Somewhere FF has cached the page in January. Being too smart for that is good, it's settled I've mistyped the url and displays this page, not the one October.
    I deleted all the history of this site, but that makes no difference.

    Please don't tell me to restore the FF default settings - I'll have to re - install all Addons then.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • "Title" bar continues to change color

    The "Title" bar continues to change color. I don't mind above all this except that one color is green and I hate this color!

    Is it possible to change this behavior?

    Hello

    I took a screenshot of my title bar in Firefox (Windows 7) and it marked with an arrow below. I think that is what changes the color on your machine?

    In Windows 8, the color of the bars title in all applications is determined by the operating system not Firefox. This varies according to the theme of your operating system, but by default, it is a kind of 'average' colors sampled in your background. This replaces the Aero translucent look of Windows 7.

    So detestable green color is most likely taken from your screen background image. To get rid of him the best bet is to change your background.

    If you wish to override the settings for Windows, you can try a Firefox theme:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/themes/

    Or you can change the color of the title bar with the code to userChrome.css

  • "Save Image under" continues to change directories

    "Save Image under" continues to change the location, it saves the file. As I go through the different pages and save some images, I noticed that sometimes it saves where I expect to, (the location that I recently selected when saving an image), but very often in the same session (which means that I've not closed and restarted FF), he decided to change the location of a directory that I used earlier , at the place where this has saved the previous file.

    I thought it would be something like a scenario, I opened 1-5 tabs, save images to A location. Then I save a file at location B, open 6 to 10 pages, save a file to the location a new. At this point, I expect that my files by default to A location, but perhaps pages 6 to 10 are now held B that are associated with them and they will default it there instead. I just test that and this isn't.

    It is also not extension (.jpg, .gif) that forces the change of location. I can't understand what triggers it.

    Does anyone know if there is another topic: config that we can change, (which replaces no doubt the next FF update in 5 minutes) to restore the appropriate behavior?

    This behavior started with the upgrade to 7 FF.

  • Wallpaper continues to change. Irritating.

    For some strange reason, I see the background I see normally before I log in, then when I connect it changes to the El Captain one. I hate to go to the system preferences and must continue to change as a result of the background, I love. The way it works by this problem is really strange. I tested it by restarting and the background I love is always there. I wanted to test even more so I turned off my Mac for an hour and then an hour later I turn it back, always there. However, after several hours, it changes. I recently upgraded to OS X El captain in the hope that it would solve this problem. Help would be nice. THX.

  • Cliq 2.1, 2.0.13, 2.0.17: Cliq ringtone continues to change of its own accord...

    I noticed that my Cliq continues to change ringtones, even if I already have a game. It doesn't matter what ringtone I change it for her jumps back between the default and I chose the one guard. All this experience?

    Update:

    Today, my Cliq, started with the issue of the ring again. I don't know what the cause of the problem or why. The last time I had to format my Sd Card and re add all returned using the motorola media link. I hope I don't have to do it again because it's a slight pain whenever there is an update.

  • Windows continues to change user profile folder

    Hi all
     
    I'm facing a real headache. My computer continues to change user profiles folder every restart 2 or 3. For example, my user name is MSF\Bob. The user profile folder has been C:\Document & Settings\Bob. After a restart, Windows create a C:\Document & Settings\Bob.MSF then Bob.MSF.000 and Bob.MSF.001 folder and so on.
     
    Someone has an idea why this is happening and how I can prevent this?
     
    I thank very you much in advance!
     
    Best regards

    Easy question to answer.  You simply have a corrupted profile.

    When Windows detects a corrupted profile, it automatically generates a temporary with names profile as you describe.  Usually, these profiles are deleted when you connect your computer turned off, but not always.  The solution is quite simple.  You just need to recover your corrupt profile.   There are two general approaches.  One is to do a system restore to a point in time before the profile was first damaged.  The other usually involves the creation of a new user and moving profile data on to the new user (you may reset some of your settings).  To do this, choose one of the following articles and follow through:

    "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473>

    "How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"

    "Windows XP problems if your profile is corrupted"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326688 >

    HTH,
    JW

    PS: Corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied by alteration of the disc as well.  After your recovery, perform a check disk (chkdsk) with the "/ R" or "/ F" option

  • In XP, zone continues to change TSA to CUT

    The zone continues to change the time in coordinated universal time. If I try to sync with time.windows.com the I get a message that an error has occurred (not specific). The computer is connected to the internet via a d-link router, but I don't think that is the problem because the other computers on the network are OK and I get the MS updates on this machine OK.

    I tried a fix and tried to restore to an earlier point... nothing works.  Is there another setting of time other than through the control panel that could be the substitution of my settings?

    I think that there is a problen with my this machine to connect to microsoft because I also have trouble updateing security essentials... get a connection failure error message.

    After digging a bit, I noticed that my area had been changed to English (Ireland)... I'm in the Canada. Since there is no central time (United States and Canada &) in Ireland my coumuter didn't know where I was. Don't know how the resgion had chanaged but everything is good again.
