Why can't I see a padlock in the URL bar Bank / purchase etc. with Firefox? How can I find out link is secure?
Usually, when banking, or buy something online, there will be
a padlock symbol to ensure that your transaction/payment information is secure. This is usually seen in the address URL search bar, but I don't see that with Firefox. Why?
You have more the Status bar which showed the padlock in previous versions of Firefox in Firefox 4.
The padlock shows only that there is a secure connection and does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server.
So you could always be connected to the wrong server if you make a typing mistake in the URL and someone said that mistyped the URL.
The lock feature has been replaced by the How do I know if my connection to a Web site is secure? on the left end of the address bar.

You can use this extension to get a lock on the address bar.

What is this Google plugin Widevine, and why can't find it in my Mac Finder?
What is this Google plugin Widevine, and why can't find it in my Mac Finder? You should have a right click on the Add-ons, to 'show in Finder '!
Although it's called a plugin, it is not one plugin like any other that you can find in a file, but a piece of embedded code. Other plugins are often part of the operating system or systemic at least installed, as opposed to extensions. However you can disable - see content DRM Watch on Firefox for instructions.
That answer your question?

I try to use windows excel for windows vista and asks me to enter a product key. I am the sole owner of the computer but have no installation CD for recharge Excel. How can I find out what order to use the product? From now the product doesn't let me do anything. Help, please!
Hello
Did you pay for Office (including Excel) in a packaging separated when you bought your computer?
Office is not included with your purchase of computer for free.
Most new computers come with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.
After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.
And the product key on the computer case or laptop for the operating system, not for the desktop Suite.
Here is the link for the Microsoft Store to Office products:
And you might be interested in the free Open Office Suite of Office Applications.
For any other question about Office, please repost in the Office Forums:

See you soon.

HP15-g036cy: How can I find out how much ram I can put in my computer
How can I find out the maximum ram that held my computer
Repair:
It should read a little bit carefully. Since yours is AMD there's a single memory slot and he holds a module up to 8 GB in capacity. See page 1-2
See also page 65, which shows how very difficult to access the memory location it is. You must remove the motherboard.
If your laptop seems slow, it's because he has a very low CPU; the APU E1-2100 of 1.0 GHz AMD. This processor is frankly more like something in a good smartphone or tablet. Increase the RAM probably not make the system faster.

I can't find out what motherboard I have for my HP Pavilion 15 t-n200
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion 15 t-n200 and I can't find out what motherboard I have. I have searched for answers days now and have decided to come on the forums.
The specifications are:
1.6 GHz to 2.3 Ghz i5-4200u
8 GB of DDR3 RAm/memory
64-bit operating system
Windows 8.1
If someone could help me find out what mother boar I have it would be great.
It must be the 740 M so this motherboard:
Intel Core i5-4200U 740 M 1.6 GHz (2 GB DC BGA 15 W) for use with Windows Standard 736377-501
Page 42 of the manual for the memory upgrade. Yes, there are two slots, and it supports up to 12 concerts (8 + 4).
An SSD is another matter. To get to the hard drive Bay, you must remove all cover it. It's not easy and it puts at risk the warranty. See Page 59. This set of video clips will help, too.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04324972
But yes, you can install an SSD if you jump through all the hoops.

Where can I find a linke for the the help file for process Explorer 14.01? Thank you.
If you have problems to access using Process Explorer, it's probably because you do not it unlock after the download.
The best way to do this is to go to the folder where the zip file downloaded, right click the zip file and select Properties. Then click on the button unlock and apply them. Go to the excerpt from Process Explorer.

How can I find out what programs are essential to start?

Windows Home vista 32 premium
Hey Stella-50,
How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.
What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.
Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.
Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is. It's a freeware.
