Why my screensaver stops working with me, do nothing?

Running XP Pro with all service packs, updates, etc.  System works well, but sometimes my screen saver stops working.  I use "My Pictures Slideshow".  I can right-click on the desktop, click Properties, and nothing has changed. I can see the .jpg files that are my photos and the preview works very well.  When the PC is idle, there are only 2 open windows, Windows Live Mail and my browser.  I have another PC that is running the same version of Windows with the same 2 windows open when idle and its screen saver works very well.

    (2) on your package (indicated by a blue dot next to it), click on change plan settings and navigate screen however turn it off for a long time, you want it to be before he turns off the screen.

    I do not recommend messing around with drivers, because when I did, it messed up my screen and ended up back where I was before she has nothing (sorry James). of couse I messed up a little and the only real problem was the catylist control center has disappeared, and when I tried to fix this, I came across problems (it looked like a safe mode without the mode without failure of words on the corners)

  • FDM has stopped working with firefox

    Free Download Manager has stopped working with firefox after I speedup firefox opening. (not after restart or update of firefox) Before that, I used FDM on firefox. I already try with restart firefox and follow-up of the implementation under the quiz "Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update | Firefox Help", but none of them worked.

    When you say after you speed up Firefox, do you mean you used the reset feature? You can tell because Firefox will create a new 'Old Firefox Data' folder on your desktop when you reset.

    The Reset function deletes your extensions as part of the cleaning process. You probably need to reinstall FDM from its original source. Maybe the Addons site? https://addons.Mozilla.org/Firefox/

  • Why personas do not work with all themes?

    Why personas do not work with all themes?

    Not all personas work well with a custom theme, the developers of Firefox have decided to return to the theme by default if you install a character.

    A theme can allow personsas with this line in the install.rdf file, as does the default theme.

    • < em: skinnable > true < / em: skinnable >

    So if a theme doesn't work with a character then skinnable is not enabled.

    I understand that you have a problem with the selection of talk.  Let's start by making sure that talk of selection is always enabled in settings > general > accessibility > speech.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m stopped working with a Macbook, still works with others

    We had this printer wireless printing of 2 Macbooks a running OS X 10.8.2 and another OS x 10.6.8 without any problem for some time when it suddenly stopped working with the old Macbook running 10.6.8.

    When we tried to print anything in that nothing happened, when we open the print queue, there's an exclamation point to the left of the print job and to say an error message something about the levels ink (ink levels were very well as it print to the other Macbook without problem).  We tried the buttons pausing and resuming.  I can't provide exact errors that we had because now that we have tried to reinstall the drivers we get a new series of errors.

    We redownloaded the drivers for OS X 10.6 on HP website and tried to go through the HP setup assistant.  When we arrive at step 'Select printer' and he takes us into the preferences system to add a printer - our printer shows up, but when selected, we get the following error message: some of the software of the printer is missing.  You may not be able to print to "HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m" Please reinstall the printer. software - and of course, we are not able to print.

    We uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times without any effect.  The only way that we were able to print off the computer is if printer sharing is enabled on the other Macbook (with OS X 10.8.2).)  Then, it presents itself as a separate printer and can be used by the old Macbook only if the other is on.  This isn't how it was put in place when we had the two work before.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    What router are you using?  I guess that the 10.8 machine can print correctly?

    Let's start with that on the 10.6 machine: download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

    Restart your Mac.

    Reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and then beside the dropdown 'Use', select the model of the printer (not AirPrint). Wait for the 'Add' button becomes available. Until it clicks.
