  • Firefox crashes almost every time that I try to attach a document. Why?

    I just had a new PC from Dell XPS Dimension w/Win 8.1. She doesn't have Firefox, so I downloaded (version 29.0.1).

    Almost every time that I try to attach a document, for example, a photo or other file, Firefox crashes. The accident occurred when I double-click on the directory or folder that contains the document I want to join. I presented in reports half a dozen incidents in recent days.

    Instead of double-click, I tried everything just clicking once on the button that appears when I OPEN request to attach a document. This reduces the frequency of accidents, but did not eliminate them.

  • Windows wants to install 6 updates every time that I log out or put the computer in mode "Eve"

    I can't stop or have food options on.  I expect the updates to install.  It is said that they have installed and the next time I start there they are.

    Hi Happygrammy,

    Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!

    This could happen if the update that you are trying to install are damaged during the process. To prevent this all the time you need to maybe uninstall the updates, and install them one at a time.

    To do this, you will need to make a list updates that are the cause of the problem, then go to install update history and uninstall them manually. Then download these updates and install them in clean boot mode.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Steps to put the system in clean boot include:

    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

    For more information about the clean boot, follow the below given link:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart

    You will need to maybe reset the Windows Update components, download the Microsoft fix - it from the link and run the wizard that automatically resets the windows update components, if it does not, I recommend that reset you manually update windows components from the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

    These steps should solve the problem, give it a try and check if you are able to perform windows updates.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Messages is stuck "Not responding" every time that I try to use it

    I just bought a 13 "2014 rMBP. Took it to the Apple Store and they ran a diagnostic test and said everything was great. Wiped clean and began installing programs such as Dropbox, firefox, chrome, box, google and the other player more random as best touch.

    I've added emails to the email client and noticed that the client Messages went from 1 user 3. Once I noticed that, I also noticed that I could not use the client messages. For example, if I click on messages, it freezes. Finally, it will leave and I will be able to type text for 10 seconds before it is delayed once again.

    I also noticed that my battery life has sucked after. I use my laptop for about an hour and a half and I went from 100% to 64%. I don't know if this is related.

    Hello

    In Acrobat Reader mobile applications, the tools of comments (as point climax, strikethrough, underline, Sticky Notes) are not "sticky".  As you mentioned, you must select a feedback tool after each use.

    Would you submit a feature request form?

    Here's another way to highlight the text.

    1. Long press (press and hold) on the text you want to highlight.
    2. Adjust the selection of text by moving the blue circle ("grabber") (right, left, up, down).
    3. Select to highlight in the context menu that appears.

    He still won't tools reviews "sticky."  But you do not need to activate the tool commenting and keep reaching out to the icon to highlight in the toolbar at the bottom.  If some users experience less cumbersome or annoying when adding point culminating/bar/stressed to a large number of pages in a PDF document.

  • Blue screen 116 every time that Windows updates

    original title: 116 every time that Windows Update BSOD

    OK, so I'm in a bad mood, so this will be brief. I managed to understand I get BSOD every time I update my graphics driver, and I have no idea what kind of card I because it is a company built PC (never buy Dells) and the owner of this PC (that is to say my father and family) reinstalled Windows compeletly before I could look, so all I have is "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" in the Device Manager. Try to manually update the drivers causing the BSOD once I chose to run windows normally (it runs in safe mode now too, which is of course the pre reinstall improved)

    So I don't really know what to do at this point.

    Hello

    Dell can tell you what the graphics device in the computer is so check with their support, their online
    documentation and drivers and ask in the Dell forums for known issues. Check the model number
    of your computer on the Dell Site for drivers - it should indicate the appropriate driver.

    Dell forums
    http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/
    ========

    The fact that it BlueScreens when you try to update the driver could indicate there is something wrong
    with the video device. Because it has a "Standard VGA adapter' this means that the driver does not load.

    I hope this helps.

    Once these are added, right-click on them and click on change to ensure that the value is set to 0. Then open cmd (command prompt) as an administrator.  -Windows 7 users can open quickly as administrator by typing cmd in the start menu search box, and then shift + right click on the command prompt > open as administrator

    net start uxsms

    This will fix the problem. Looks like a lot to do, but really, it isn't and is easy.
