Why every time I try to print it automatically downloads it instead?
Only when I'm in firefox, I opened a document (no matter what program I'm), hit print, it automatically downloads instead of print. I have to go to downloads, recover, then print and it prints like a bad copy. This has happened for the past two weeks. I had no problem before this impression. Help!
Try to use the Applications on the page Options Panel to change how Firefox handles those particular types of downloads. Looks like that PDF is the starting point:
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options
In the left column, click on Applications. Firefox can pause for a few seconds while it loads the list. You should then see a listing of many different types of content. In the area above the list, type or paste pdf and Firefox should filter to
Portable Document format (PDF)
On the right side, if it says 'Save file' which are always changing to 'ask '.
A little luck?
Now, if this does not work:
(1) there may be other types of content of the site is indicating for attachments. You can scroll through the list looking for others who are set on 'Save file' and change these.
(2) the file that stores these preferences could be damaged. What we usually suggest in this case is the following:
Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help
- button '3-bar' menu > '? ' button > Troubleshooting Information
- (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old.
Launch Firefox upward, and it should build a new mimeTypes.rdf file starting from the registry data, and Windows plugin. Normally your PDF Viewer will be reset to a built, but you can select Adobe Acrobat if you prefer. See: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer.

Well, I have a problem with adobe flash player, which had stopped working (I can't watch videoes on youtube). I learned that I can solve this problem by clicking on add-on Manager to control the program. but every time I try to open it start loading then I get the message firefox add-ons stopped working and needs to close. I close it and again click on Add-ons (options / general / manage add ons) is the same thing over and over again.
Hello, all first please try to update to the latest version Firefox (firefox 18.0.1) - you are using a very old version and insecure at the moment.
If this does not resolve the issue already, so maybe that files in your profile folder that store the information on your extensions could have been corrupted. Please go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile - display folder... then windows Explorer should open your profile folder. there looking for files named extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite, extensions.sqlite - journal (and in some cases also extensions.txt, extensions.rdf). delete or rename the files and quit firefox, they will be regenerated the next time you start firefox.

Original title: SPWIZENG.dll
Hi, I got a cd of Windows 7 from my friend who is a software engineer so he gets all the programs (operating systems). It burned in a DVD instead of CD. So, every time I try to load from the DVD the error appears as:
«The application failed to start because SPWIZENG.» DLL was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. »
Then when I click ok, it says:
The file 'Autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue.
Help, please. I'm not good with computers and I honestly don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance,
:)
Hello
Are you able to play or open other CD or DVD?
Step 1: These error messages may be due to corrupted media. Try to use the same media on another computer and check if you are able to use it.
Step 2: Search for the issue in the clean boot state.
From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

every time I try to install something windows tells me I can't install it because I install another prgm, but don't want to install anything...
Hi MatthewMessmer,
- Did you the latest changes on the computer?
- You receive the error message when you try to install a program on the computer?
- You have security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
First restart the computer and try to install programs on the computer.
I suggest that you restart the Windows Installer service and check if it helps.
Refer to the article below and try the steps listed in the section Windows installation problems, check to see if it helps.
How to troubleshoot issues that may occur when you install, uninstall, or upgrade one program on a Windows computer
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2438651
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then temporary disable the security software on the computer and check if that helps.
Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

my computer wouldn't let me download lime wire... and every time I try a security alert appears.
Hi juannfallen,
Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups. I suggest you try these options:
The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
For more information, visit the Microsoft Web sites at the following address and check if the Windows or Windows Defender firewall is causing this problem. It is suggested to make changes and to allow certain applications to run through these by the use of exceptions rather than turn them which can cause serious problems for the security of the computer:
1 explore the features: Windows Firewall
2. turn Windows Firewall on or off
3. Understanding Windows Firewall settings
4 explore the features: Windows Security Center
6. turn Windows Defender on or off
7 Windows Vista: antispyware software - Microsoft Security
8 real-time protection real turn Windows Defender or disable
If the problem persists, return with the following details:
1: name of the security of the software
2: exact security alert
Let me know if it works. Good luck!
Hope this information is useful.
Thank you and best regards,
KKS Vijay
