    on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
    by car, but simply cannot display it?

    If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
    in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
    Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
    unchecking the box / apply / OK.

  • Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL. I tried to remove anything that is related to AOL and when restart Firefox... There are once again AOL. I even reinstalled Firefox... He was there again.

    Where AOL is displayed - homepage?

    I think the first thing to check is if you have any modules related to AOL. These can replace your regular settings. You can view and disable all extensions essential or unknown here:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Note that in most cases, you should use the link to restart Firefox to actually disable the extension that you have chosen to disable.

    Then, to fix your homepage, try the procedure described in this article: How to set the home page.

    If there is a problem with your suppliers of research from Google for AOL, try this extension:
