• Firefox does not open, and when I try to use the "run", it says that the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can't lose my favorites. Help?

  Firefox has been great to work on my computer for months and then suddenly he could not load pages. So, naturally, I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox does not open. The icon lights for a bit as usual, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the "run" command, I get this error:
  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to another location. »
  I also tried the same thing for the file in the x 86 folder, but it gave the same error and I went and looked for the files in the given location and they were there.
  Firefox is not to fall down, so he isn't there an other error message, I can give you.
  The things that I had my favorites are really important, I can not lose those, but I am fine with anything else have to re-installed, etc..
  Help please?

  I've never tried it myself, but the forum has a series of measures for a "clean reinstall" Firefox. Even if you do not delete the record of your personal settings (AKA profile) during this process, a backup of this folder is always a good idea in case something goes wrong.

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

• How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

  How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

  Hello, welcome.

  The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
  For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
  http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/migrating-Vista-using-Windows-easy-transfer.html
  For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
  1. click on START > run

  2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter

  3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed

  4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right

  DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN

  5. click on START > run

  6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.

  7. type chkdsk /r and press enter

  8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume

  9. allow the system to plan restarting

  10. restart your computer

  11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive

  12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine

  13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

• When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo.

  Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7

  People,

  I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc.  Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".

  When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo.  A few pixels logo show and then it's there.  Any ideas?  I worked on it for several days.  Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!

  Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer.  After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

• On Windows 8, by default, OneNote when I try to use the print option. How do I set printer as default and not in OneNote?

  When I try to use the print option. How do I set printer as default and not in OneNote? Also, when I want to print from a web page (on the Web page printing option) it goes to OneNote and not print. I have also pulled up a file saved in OneNote and selected the print option in the Menu. I selected a specific page and is nevertheless not print?

  Because your message is off-topic in the comment forum, I moved it to the forum Windows 8 "Performance and Maintenance", where it is more on the subject.

  As you watch the start page, type "default printer".  A list appears on the right side of the screen.  Tap 'settings' and 'Change the default printer' will appear on the left.  Tap it.  Your devices folder and printers opens on the desktop.  You will see that "Send to OneNote" will have a green check mark next to it.  Right click on the printer, if you have already installed it, then select "Set as default".  Close the folder.  Therefore, when printing, your printer will be the default device.

  If you have not yet installed a printer, make sure you download the latest driver for 8 compatible of Windows to the web site of the manufacturer and install the driver following the instructions of the manufacturer.  Then set the default device.

Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also. Likewise, they will not work! Help! Thanks - K & K

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

• When I try to use the send to compressed (zipped) folder option I get an access denied message

  When I try to use the send to compressed (zipped) folder option when I right click on a file I get the following message

  Unable to complete the operation.

  Access is denied.

  However I do have permisions complete on the file and I am the only user and administrator

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well it will complete with no corruption, he couldn't fix it (if there is such corrouption post here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  This can sometimes solve the problem on its own.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side.

• After installing Windows 7 using MDT, Windows displays the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running.

  Hi all

  I worked on creating a better system for my business get an OS up-to-date with all the required software, settings, and drivers. I have previously using WDS as autonomous and just syspreping images and pushing them up until he became incoherent and corrupting of the parts of the image. I did a little surfing on the web and discovered that many computing professionals use MDT to produce images of quality with all the customization they need. So that's the problem.

  The image works fine. I'm able to customize the way in which I need to and get most of my successful deployed pilots (problem with trackpad drivers), but the error message I get when I try to run a windows update is "windows that update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running." After I received this message I check my services and it shows the update of Windows running service and long-term as well running services. Tried to restart as suggested and still no results. Undertook research for a possible fix and still nothing.
