    Error message @ boot Win 7 Pro "there was a problem starting C:\programdata\ofpviaowu.dat - the specified module could not be found."

    This error message appears whenever I have start my computer and windows starts (Firefox doesn't start up). 15.01 Firefox work properly otherwise.

    This started after I installed the 15.0.1 patch.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but the problem remains. Search Google for "ofpviaowu.dat" came with "2012-08-29 Firefox version 15 startup Crash Report" as the only listing.

    Is this a Firefox problem?

    My system has this file: C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\logs\. I don't think that Firefox or update service should write directly to the root of C:\ProgramData\. It could be a configuration error, or it could be completely different.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when connected to external speakers

    Hello

    This happened to me twice in the last two weeks, both times in the same circumstances. I take my mac at the Apple Store tomorrow, but I found it worth to post the question here:

    My Macbook Pro freezes when playing iTunes AND connected to an external audio system. Won't happen only when it is connected to the headphones or when you use the internal speakers. This does not happen immediately. It took about 10-20 minutes, and the specific song ends to play even if the computer is already frozen. I wonder what follows:

    This could result in the latest version of iTunes (12.3.3.17)?

    Or is there something funky going on with the material of my Mac?

    FYI, I have a Macbook Pro, 256 GB early 2015 and I've just updated to the latest OS (El Capitan 10.11.4)

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

    Could be due to the failure / faulty USB hub or cables (USB or audio, regardless of your game to the top). Try to connect without a hub (if you are using one) and with different cables.

    Given that the issue does not appear when you use a headset, I don't think it is related to iTunes.

  • Can I use the latest version of Firefox. I have Win XP Pro PIII 600 Mhz. 3.6.25 excellent works, but I still get the message to be updated?

    I am so happy with Firefox 3.6.25 (thank you), but I'm worried update the program because the requirements of system does not respond to my PC or does it? I have Win XP Pro SP2, PIII 600 MHz I still get messages on your part on updating the program but do not know if it is possible.

    Stick with the version you have now. The versions of Firefox 4 + need a processor with SSE2 instruction set, as in the Intel P4 processors.

    I try to install win 2000 pro on the laptop next - Satellite 4030 - I insert the CD and press and hold the 'C' key to boot from the Windows CD 2000 Setup screen appears and begins to install the drivers. The installer gets so far then the following message appears on the screen:

    The ACPI BIOS in this system is not fully complient with the ACPI specification. Please read me text for possible workaround solutions. You can also contact your manufacturer for an updated BIOS.

    So, what do I have to Flash the BIOS with the latest version, or is it possible that I can work around that? I've done a few things with PC (built some etc etc) BUT I have never tried flashing the BIOS before and I heard that it can go very wrong! Any suggestion would be appreciated!

  • Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem does not work

    Another problem with this laptop Satellite A30
    The built-in modem does not work.

    * Explanation: *.
    The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
    The modem is identified as "Toshiba software modem amr" and is installed on com3 port.

    When I click on "diagnosis" and "ask modem" (right labels can be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window pops up saying: it is impossible to open the door (port), the modem is connected to.

    I tried to change the com port of the modem to different numbers, but the problem is the same.
    I don't know if the modem is a real map connected somehow to the main Board or is built right on the main map. It would be the first case, I may change see ad. BTW, the mini slot pci is already occupied by the gigabyte of Wi - Fi, so the modem must be elsewhere.

    This is strange, since I've done at least 2 other win xp pro on this machine facilities, always download and install the appropriate drivers, and the modem has never worked.
    Thank you

  • ProDesk 600 G1 TWR: restore ProDesk for Win 7 Pro

    This is the situation:
    I have a HP ProDesk 600 G1 TWR with upgrade to Win 10 Pro. Some limitations of the software, we need to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. There is the HP Recovery partition but F11 does not work, I think because for some reason, the HARD drive turned to the dynamics. Now, like a miracle, I found the DVD of the PC kit, well well, I'm not sure complete if belong to this concretely workstation, but HP for the same model.

    The question: what about the license? In my view, it is an OEM license and I don't have the key. Can I use the DVD Win 7 Pro for the recovery of the PC? What the activation process in this case?

    Of course, if it is possible just to use the recovery partition, will be great.
    Thanks in advance!

    Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

    What could be the problem?

    > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

    You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

    From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

    I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
    If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

    In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.

  • Drivers Win XP Pro and install a command of Qosmio E10

    Hello
    I recently bought Qosmio E10 in Korea. The OS is Korean Win XP Home. I would like to change, so I guess I have two options:
    1. get a restore in English CD. But I read that Toshiba has the strange rule do not give the CD of restoration of another language. I wrote to them, they answer for now.
    2 install Win XP Pro myself (I have only this license). In this case, the question should be able to get all the drivers I need. I found good drivers in several places:
    On http://www.toshiba.co.kr, but I worry that these drivers are for Korean XP.
    The other place is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    In this place, most of the drivers is for Media Center Edition. There are drivers for XP Pro, but they are not so many and there is no order of installation. There is for example, no NVidia driver, this driver is available for the media center. Maybe I can use Media center drivers on XP Pro?

    So my question is: do I have to use drivers and and what order to get a good working XP Pro. It would be good to know where to download QosmioUI. I found the Linux player and I install it, but I also want to have the drive in Windows.

    Hello

    As far as I know that the software is delivered on laptop and if you buy a laptop, you automatically buy OS and license for use. This means that you can not order a DVD of recovery on another language. Qosmio E10 comes with Windows MCE2004 SP1a.

    The only possibility is to install the Microsoft Windows XP (full version, with or without MCE) operating system, and then install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities separately.

    For the English language you can find them on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com topic support & downloads.
