• How to have the list of dates automatically updated the site, without manually changing in Muse

  Hey, I design a site for a group that I play the drums in and I was wondering how I could update the list of concerts, we have, without having to manually edit in Muse then download again. Is there a way to past shows being removed without doing me it manually?

  I believe you are referring to events with calendar on the page where you can update the calendar with the dates, in which case you use the event of third party system then Muse will not control it, but if you created that in Muse itself then you will need to manually edit of Muse.

  If the site is hosted on BC, then you can use the events module to view the dates and details, the end site, you can schedule events and that expired will be removed from the calendar.

• KB955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

  original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

  I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
   
  Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update.  I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
  Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
  Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update".  I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3.  Then, I took a break, until the next day.
   
  I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
   
  Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
  So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night.  I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
   
  Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"].  What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
   
  After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U".  There is no updated list.  Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
   
  My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
   
   
   
  What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
   
  I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.

  Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]).  Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...

  Repost...

  1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?

  2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)?  .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

  3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

  ... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.

  Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

  OPTION A:

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK
  
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  3. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Starting the service will take a moment)

  OPTION B:

  1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]

  2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.

• APSB15-27 will install automatically if flash is set to automatic update?  How do you determine if it's installed?

  Will be APSB15-27 will install automatically if flash is set to automatic update?  How do you determine if it's installed?

  Hello

  Yes, if the Flash is set to the automatic update, then the system automatically update to the latest version, 19.0.0.226.  There are several ways to determine if the system is updated:

  Windows:

  • Check the version number in the files saved to:
    • C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    • C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
  • In the registry:
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer > CurrentVersion
      • But if you have more than one browser, you can check the version of each type of player:
        • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX > Version
        • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPepper > Version
        • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPluginReleaseType > Version
    • If you have the 64-bit operating system, you will want to check the Wow6432Node corresponding node as well (although the installed version should be the same for both 32-bit versions and 64-bit)

• Why programs not marked in the list of windows firewall exceptions are still able to maintain the internet connection?

  Original title: exceptions to firewall

  Can someone explain how I have after uncheck the programs in the list of windows firewall exceptions, they are still able to maintain an internet connection? I use XP sp3.

  1. what makes you think that this unnamed programs are still able to maintain an Internet connection?

  2 Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections.  Thus, for example, if you (or malicious software), set up a FTP server running on your computer, Windows Firewall will block an application from the Internet on your computer that are trying to establish a connection and download some of your files.

  However, when your web browser sends a request to a Web site server to load a page, incoming web server traffic is allowed because it's in response to a request made on your computer.

  This distinction between the incoming and outgoing traffic is why some people insist that the third-party firewall, which usually block/monitor of traffic in both directions is required.  The scenario is that you inadvertently introduce malware on your computer (in any number of ways), and then the malware "phones home" to establish a link with the bad guys, who continue to do what they want on your computer.

• Firewall exception for Captivate 9 new

  Whenever I run 9 Captivate my system wants a firewall exception for captivatenews. The only way this stops is by disabling the firewall, but the firewall must be on for me to work remotely. FYI, I'm not a sys admin, my organization is an it company. So far could not solve. I see 8 Captivate has had this bug. Is there a solution so that I don't have to wait to cancel the alert? VA - I still features if I simply rescind the notice of Exception? Thank you. Diana

  Hi Diana,

  Please go to your installed folder and search the file AdobeCaptivate.ini.

  Cope and stick this on your desktop. Edit this file and set UseEdgeInspect = 0 instead of 1, save it and paste it into the location of Captivate installed.

• Firefox 28 not listed in the Windows Firewall Exceptions

  I am running SP3 Windows XP Prof, Firefox 28 and Windows Firewall.

  I recently noticed that Firefox is 'slow' loading and connection to Web sites.

  I checked the 'Exceptions' list in the Windows Firewall, but Mozilla Firefox did not appear. Why Windows Firewall application doesn't have access during the installation of Firefox? Internet Explorer was not either and that my original browser browser and becomes 'slow', that's why I changed to Firefox.

  Moreover, since 'Add' and 'give permission' for Firefox, it runs a lot faster.

  Thanks John!

• Windows Firewall "Exceptions list".

  I am running SP3 Windows XP Prof, Firefox 28 and Windows Firewall.

  I recently noticed that Firefox is 'slow' loading and connection to Web sites.

  I checked the 'Exceptions' list in the Windows Firewall, but Mozilla Firefox did not appear. Why Windows Firewall application doesn't have access during the installation of Firefox? Internet Explorer was not either and that my original browser browser and becomes 'slow', that's why I changed to Firefox.

  From 'Add' and 'give permission' for Firefox, it runs a lot faster.

  The second name of the program is superantiSpyware, where SAS.

  MBAM has a very good reputation, more I think it is less intrusive than SAS.  That's why I suggested it.

  As far as the SAS 'System tools' are concerned, those who are different from the malware scan/remove main task which is the reason to run SAS.  The tools to answer the damage that could be caused by a malware attacks different various.  If you have a particular symptom required by one of the tools, then go and try - I have no experience in a way or another with any of these tools.  There is no reason to run all or part of the tools as part of regular maintenance.

• How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?

  Original title: find firewalls

  How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?  I have used norton, mcafree, avg in the past.  All have been removed through programs removal program.  I turned off my windows firewall and Security Center says I still have firewalls.  I can't access itunes store or download programs (such as the overdrive media).  I don't have a router, but have tried that disconnect and connect the computer directly to the modem.  Still have the problem.

  Security applications - especially those of McAfee and Norton - cannot be completely removed using the control panel > Add / Remove programs.

  For McAfee, see http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS100507 which explains how to use the McAfee Consumer Products Removal (that you can get the link in this article).

  For Norton, see https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

  For AVG, see http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

  If for some reason you want to reinstall everything before (that I do not recommend), don't forget to make a record of your license key before uninstalling.  The links above should explain how to do this.

  Some motherboards with nVidia chipsets include a hardware firewall (nVidia ActiveArmor).  I'm not positive on how to determine if you have this or not, but I suggest starting with a glance at the "network adapter" section of the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).

  PS: even if you're experienced, do not use your router.  It provides a layer of protection between you and the Internet, if you connect with all firewalls disabled.

• I have never set up email in Windows. Please advise me on how to do it. Thank you

  * Original title: Windows mail

  I have never set up email in Windows. Please advise me on how to do it. Thank you

  See Bruce Hagen answer and I would add that there is no obligation to use the e-mail program included with Windows.

  As far as I am concerned, as with other programs provided with Windows (almost all programs in all versions of Windows), the application of electronic mail that ships with Windows Vista is a very bad choice. Are a lot of other choices available: some by Microsoft and by third parties, some for sale and some free. They are almost all better than what comes with Windows.

  I recommend that you don't just use what comes with Windows, but try several others and choose the one you prefer.

• the Vista firewall exceptions are missing

  Thank you, Bernard

  Hi Bernard,.

  Thanks for asking your concern in Microsoft Community!

  I see from the description of your post, that you are facing problems with the firewall settings.

  You are able to view the same in safe mode?

  Worry and follow these steps.

  Step 1:

  Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

  Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

  Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2:

  If it works fine in safe mode, and then put the computer to boot and see if the problem still occurs.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.
