• Almost every day, I leave Firefox open for a number of hours to find it closed on its own during my absence. Why?

  Today, it was a typical day. I was on my laptop Dell electronic control around 16:00 I left the computer connected and powered with Firefox 8.0 still running. When I came back to my computer laptop about 07:20, I found that Firefox had closed on its own. No sign of a crash. It was simply closed. While not a huge problem, I don't like having to restart Firefox. Other applications continue to run when not in service. Why not Firefox? Or y at - it a setting I can use to prevent this from happening? Either way, this happens every day without exception.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

• Why 'Bookmaks' menu choice "to bookmark all tabs", removed the 5.o version, I have loved and used this valuable feature almost every day!

  This feature was version 3.6.18, why you would remove version 5.0! It allowed users to mark all the tabs open on the current window and give it a name. This impressive
  feature allowed the user to save all open tabs in the event of a failure of the system or power failure, or other.

  Bookmark all tabs is always available:

  • Right-click on a tab and choose "bookmark all tabs".
  • CTRL + SHIFT + D
  • Using the menu bar
    • Press the ALT or F10 key to temporarily show the menu bar
    • While the menu bar is displayed, click bookmarks > bookmark all tabs

• Why my computer freezes up once I turn it on for the first time, every day?

  I used registry mechanic to clean & compact my sweet automated repair registry & microphone, but the next day it happen.

  Using Registry Mechanic may have caused the problem. There is no reason ever to use a registry cleaner / 'optimizer' and the registry does not need to be compacted.

  It helps those answering questions if you provide:

  what version of windows (32-bit or 64-bit) and service pack level.

  How many times are the restore points created? Restore points are created automatically every day, and just before the events significant system, such as installing a program or device driver. You can also create a manually restore point. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  System Restore is a handy feature, but it can take up to several gigabytes of hard drive space. You can reclaim space, but turn off the system restore, however, in doing so, you will be able to restore your computer to a point in time.

  An alternative, or a middle, is to remove all restore points except the most recent. To achieve this in Vista:

  Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

  Click files from all users on this computer.

  If you are prompted, click OK.

  In the dialog box that appears, click the other Options tab.

  In the section system restore and shadow copies, click Clean.

  When you are prompted, click on delete.

  Click OK.

  As a result, there will be more free space on hard drive.

  Furthermore, to free up more space with Ccleaner, when disk cleanup is no longer enough

• How to uninstall software distribution service 3.0

  HOW TO UNINSTALL software distribution service 3.0

  Why would you do that?

  You use Microsoft Security Essentials?

  If you see Restore Points in your system restore calendar who say:

  Software Distribution Service 3.0

  Restore Points see you who belong to the Distribution of software Service (SDS) and are created when Windows Update detects something to do.

  Windows Update will download the updates in the folder c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution and once the download is complete, and at the start of the installation of updates (automatically or stop or manually - depending on your configuration) a new SDS Restore Point is automatically created before updates are installed.  After that the SDS Restore Point is created, then the updates are installed.  It works this way so you can still use a Restore Point to go back to a previous time before the updates were installed.

  The updates could be the usual things like updates to security updates of the operating system XP, patch, or if you are running Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and it will update its definitions, you will see a restore SDS everytime MSE Point updates (because it is considered as an update from MS).

  If you run MSE, you see a Restore Point of your configuration / SDS each day or more a day depending on suite how often updates come out.   The appearance of these SDS Restore Points can be worrying if you don't know what they mean, but you can always find what it means if one needs to solve a problem.

  If you run MSE, expect to see the restoration of the SDS shows up every day or so and that, usually just means that your MSE got an update (not a problem).

  Now do you really want to uninstall your SDS 3.0?

  Why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

  Hello @momodeda!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I don't know why the computer does not show the printer offline, but I would be happy to provide help to try and get communicating them again!

  The first thing I would suggest is to power cycle all the devices.  Remove the power to the printer, shut down the computer and remove the power to the router.  Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the router.  Wait for the lights on the router to return.

  Plug the printer in and turn on the computer.  Once all devices are back on, try printing again.

  If this does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the HP software.  Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.

• Micrtosoft Software Distribution Service 3.0 can automatically download & install if I do not use Microsoft Security Essentials? -Malware?

  XP pro with Service Pack 3 on 10 years, Dell Dimension 4500.  I use NOT of MSE.  I use AVG, malware protection.  I authorize updates from Microsoft automatically download but I decide to install.  13/03/13, I noticed that my PC had set a new restore point called "Software Distribution Service 3.0". Checking Windows Update I found 8 updates which appear legitimate 3/13 but I did not knowingly take any action to install them.  Have I not malware?  If so, how can I recover?

  Updates were:

  KB2807986 for a Note

  KB2687505 to the Visio Viewer

  KB890830 for malicious...

  KB982726 for Office 2010

  KB2767886 also for Office 2010

  KB2809289 for IE 8

  KB2814124 for Silverlight

  KB2553501 for filter Pack 2.0

  Thank you

  When you install Office 2010, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials or Microsoft Security Essentials, you can make two changes:

  1 Microsoft Update (vs Windows Update) becomes your update by default source (that is, if she had not already the default); [1] and...

  2 automatic updates will reset the automatic configuration by default (that is, if one of the other options had been selected.)

  [The above is specified in the EULA that you accept when you install one of the requests, but it is "buried" in the small print and difficult to anyone who bothers to read.]

  Since you had MS Office 2010 installed for a while, chances are that Microsoft Update was already your default. So, it seems that #2 happened to you after you have installed Windows Live Mail (part of Windows Live Essentials) a few weeks ago (i.e. the or after 12 February).

  If you have not already done so, do not hesitate to change your automatic updates affecting the 'download but do not automatically install... '. "option.

  ======================================================

  [1] so that Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software (MS Office 2010, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials and Microsoft Security Essentials).

• Update my wireless network device does not work after installation of Software Distribution Service 3.0

  After the installation of Software Distribution Service 3.0 update my wireless network camera does not work how do I uninstall Software Distribution Service 3.0

  How did you receive the update?

  Was it via Windows Update or Microsoft Update?

  Before the changes are made to your computer, the system restore points are made. This is so that you can go back in case an update causes problems.

  Follow these steps:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. click on accessories

  3. click on system tools

  4. click on system restore

  5. click on next

  6. in the calendar that appears, select the one which refers to Software Distribution Service 3.0 and click Next

  After the collection of certain data, the computer will restart, and the update will be gone.

  Hope this helps
