  • I try to install Google Earth and its failure and I get an error message: 0 x 80070002, how can I fix?

    I try to install Google Earth on my Windows Vista Edition home premium and its failure and I get an error message: 0 x 80070002, how can I fix?

    The error message indicates "file not found" - which often means a bad download.

    Try another download of Google Earth - if the operation fails with the error message, then...

    There are a few things you can try to solve this problem: -.

    type in the search box
    CMD. EXE
    Right-click on the single file that is
    Select run as administrator
    -the elevated command prompt window should appear
    At the command prompt, type

    and press the Enter key
    We'll tell you that the drive is locked and the CHKDSK runs the next time he started - press Y and restart. The chkdsk command will take a few hours depending on the size of the disk, so be patient!

    Once executed, the command CHKDSK Windows should start normally (possibly after a second auto) - then run the SFC

  • The photos on my site header are not formatting correctly in Mozilla. How can I fix it?

    Hello

    Photos header on every page of my site are not formatting correctly in Mozilla. The photos appear on the right side of the site and you need to scroll over to see. They work on other browsers such as Chrome and Safari. How can I fix it? Here is the link to my site: http://cpd.berkeley.edu/.

    Thanks for your help!

    What is even more strange, is that if you reload the page in version 33, it's in the right place. This happens on the Beta? https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/channel/

  • When I logout out, I get a dark screen, swirly wheel and a box that asks if I want to continue the installation or abandonment, but it wont let me click on one.  How can I fix?

    When I logout on my Macbook Air, Safari 9.1, my screen darkens, and there is a box that asks if I want to continue or cancel the installation.  But I can't click on one.  I have not tried to install anything for awhile.  Is this something I can fix it or what I have to visit the Apple store?

    You may have installed one or more variants of the Trojan 'InstallMac '. Please take the following steps to disable.

    The criminal behind this attack tries to make the malware difficult to remove by varying names of the files it installs. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "LaunchAgents" opens.

    Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

    2A inside of the folder that you just opened, there may be files with the name of all these forms:

    something. AppRemoval.plist

    Something.download.plist

    Something.ltvbit.plist

    Something.notification.plist

    Something.Update.plist

    Here, something is usually an empty string of sense, for example one of the following:

    Epolife

    InstallMac

    Javeview

    Kuklorest

    Manroling

    Otwexplain

    Here are examples, not a comprehensive list. The chain could be anything, and there might be more value of something. Looking for a group of files with the same date of change who match the description.

    Lately, the striker of "InstallMac" a were quick strings 'AppRemoval', 'download', 'ltvbit' and 'update' in the names of its records. For example, you might see file names such as these, instead of the above:

    something. AppVemoral.plist

    Something.dolnwoad.plist

    Something.btvlit.plist

    Something.uadpte.plist

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

    Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

    Log off or restart the computer. The Trojan horse should now be inactive.

    3. This step is optional. Open the folder as in step 1:

    ~/Library/Application Support

    and move it to the trash of the subfolders with the name, something you found in step 2.

    Do not move the Application Support folder or anything else inside.

    4. open the Applications folder. If there is an element named something, or "Hell Zip", or with any of the other names listed in step 2, then drag it to the trash.

    If in doubt, press option-command-4 key combination to get the apps by date added. Look at the apps that have been added since you first noticed the problem. If there is one, that you don't recognize, drag it to the trash.

    You can get an alert that the item is locked. Confirm that you want to move to the trash.

    Empty the trash.

    If you receive an alert that the application is running, force it to quit.

    5. from the Safari menu bar, select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ Extensions

    Uninstall all extensions, you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them. None is required for normal operation. Do the equivalent with Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use one of the people.

    If the window does not open, restart the computer in safe mode. Some caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.

    6. replace the search engine and home page in each of your browsers, if either has been changed. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  • When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is pre-set to 10 copies. How can I change this default single copy. Thanks for any information

    When I use the printer, in the upper left corner icon, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I want only default copy. I can change it to one, but when opened, he's back to 10.

    Number of copies to print is not a parameter that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I've never seen a preference for this in Firefox preferences panel hidden - about: config.

    Try of the reset described here and reset all the preferences for this printer:

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
    Be sure to restart Firefox before you see if doing this reset solved your problem.

    If it solves your problem, please click the button solved it next to the answer that meets or solved your problem of Firefox support, it appears when you are connected, so this thread is marked as solved to help other users who may have this same problem.

    If that does not solve your problem, and defaults to always print 10 copies of everything through Firefox, please open help > troubleshooting... information and use the copy to the Clipboard and then paste this information into the box post an answer here.

    It's going to be a real long list, but all that I really need to see is the printing preferences, so you could paste all the information in a program such as WordPad text first, change the information that I can't see and then copy the remaining information and Paste only the information in the box to answer here.

    I wonder if there might be a pref I've ever seen, but I really doubt it. "Number of copies to print" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I've ever used with any printer / print drivers.

    The only time I've ever seen a default "print dialog box" more than 1 copy has been with a working application where the program has been to force 2 copies of specific forms to print 2 copies all the time--one to give to the "subscribed" at the end of employment for their documents to the service call and one for the 'employee' obtain a signature at the end of employment with a fax in the Home Office for documentation of the task as completed successfully and for the purposes of the payroll while they would have paid for this service call.
