  • I've just updated to 30.0 and now the browser window is reduced by half.

    I've just updated to 30.0 on my laptop. I've never had problems before and now when I open Firefox the browser window is reduced by half. I closed and reopened the browser and have even restarted my computer and I can't find something in the settings. I can't do what I usually do with the window this small.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    This has happened after that the volume of messages C is dirty, rebooted now what is happening

    I would recommend that you manually download the update from the Microsoft Download Center. Search the Download Center for the KB number or download your update from the following links:
    MS13-015: Description of the update of security for .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: 12 February 2013 (KB2789643)
    Once you have the downloaded update file, run the executable with administrator privileges to avoid any permission to hiccup.
    Recommended if you can't always install the update, the next steps are to reset the Windows Update components or an update of the file downloaded a new attempt after performing a clean boot or boot without failure. A clean boot or Mode environment safe is important to ensure that there are no other programs that may be locking files or otherwise interfere with the upgrade process.

  • Updated 7 D Firmware and now the manual modes do not work

    I have just updated the firmware on my 7 d to version 2.0.5 and after doing so my manual modes do not have an image. My shutter will open, but does not shut down and does not have the image. My fully automatic mode (green square mode) done. I tried several times to reinstall the firmware without result. I was wondering if there is something I don't understand. If someone could help me I would appreciate that much. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you guys for your replies, but I solved the problem. First of all, I just wanted to say that I have use a Firmware update CF card. Actually, I didn't know it was possible to do it on my computer until last night just after I had copied the file .fir on the map see I wouldn't even when the drive from the computer. For me, it just seems more logical to install from a right CF card in the camera, rather than do it from a PC. But as I told before for some reason, after the update, some of my custom functions have been changed and it was just my 'Mirror Lock' that has been activated. Once I disabled it, it works perfectly now. Although, I did a reset and have to change all my settings back to the way I had them before and recalibrate all my microphone settings for EACH of my lenses (WITH and WITHOUT my 1.4 x and 2 x extensions) using my InFocus programme on my laptop. Declined just to inform you all I fixed it and it was my problem to the case where someone else fell on this. Thank you again for your time and your answers, everyone. It is much appreciated.

  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

    Thank you

    My MacBook froze during the installation of the update at El Capitan and now I am unable to connect to any except the screen of the guest user. There was a message of panic, and somewhere in there, he said no set of OS. I tried to start without danger, it does not work either.

    This general situation may be similar to what is mentioned in this sequel to thread of the CSA

    and if the remedy is to use instructions; detailed and I hope they are correct...

    Re: Restart fails after installation of El Capitan help!

    Or you can try and see on the repair of the system and then if your disk utility can

    See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to

    the Mac system, to see if this solves the problem. There may be more than one cause.

    You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.

    • OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

    same disc that the Mac OS X section; However if your hard drive is missing, these other

    items may also be at risk. You must have and maintain backups of your duplicate content

    on the external storage drives closed; In addition, a Time Machine backup helps to restore.

    • Apple OS X and Time Machine tips:

    http://pondini.org/OSX/home.html

    • Tips for OS X - using HD recovery:

    http://pondini.org/OSX/RecoveryHD.html

    {Using the utility disc and other tools can be done from the boot OS X Recovery volume

    Beware of the fact these tools can also delete or reformat your content; wiping.}

    Don't know what to say; you could see visiting an Apple store with genius if

    There is an official store. Usually for best time planning you would contact them for an appointment.

    Or if there is no official retail Apple Store with genius, the following suggestion would be to contact

    a service provider authorized Apple, an independent specialist who is qualified in the repair of Apple.

    In any case...

    Good luck & happy computing!

    I got this error for a few months. Initially, I came across it trying to update Java, Adobe Reader and now RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager.

    The specific error is "Error 1606 could access the network location:.", with the colon and the dot at the end. Therefore, it is difficult to know exactly what registry entry, it's.

    I tried to change various registry keys and using a number of files of Microsoft "Fix it for me", but the error remains.

    Hello

    1. What microsoft fix it did you try?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before the show?

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.

    WARNING: this method contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you change the
    Register incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it.
    Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link:

    I left the computer now for about 14 hours of the night, but is still 99%.

    Help please.

    If it is just the download bit and haven't started to install anything yet, then you can try the upgrade by using the multimedia creation tool - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and see if this method is not better.

    Its always wise to backup everything first (at least all your important data - docs, bookmarks, videos, music, emails etc.) before upgrading the OS. Although they must all be left in place, if something goes wrong they may be. If you have a backup, you can find them. If you do not, you can't.

    Also, follow the UPGRADE path listed in the article for the free update, not the own installation path.
