Thunderbird 38.2.0 does not check for incoming mail, freezing
I used Thunderbird for years without problem. Update 38.2.0 was so bad for me that I had to uninstall it. Questions:
(1) would not check for incoming mail
(2) popped up the windows of information that had no text and even not closing "x" in the corner (although I could click the right superior whiteness and she closed)
(3) screen would freeze. At least the closing 'x' still - working but it's the only thing that makes.Every update I've ever had until this has been perfectly integrated. This one was painful.
My question is when there's an update to correct these problems?
Please update to version 38.3.0 which came out today. Will probably solve your problem.
Is this better?

Windows Vista does not work for all programs requiring administrator rights
I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Dell XPS laptop. He worked from 3-4 years. It seems that after a recent update (in the last week), I rebooted the laptop and after that Vista can not run programs that require administrator privileges. This includes most of the items in the Panel, the observer of events, computer management, elevated command prompt and so on.
After logging in, I get a notification of the task bar that says "Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy."
When I try to any program requiring administrative privileges (for example, msconfig), I get an error "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"
I restored the system (from safe mode) for a day where it seems to be ok, but the problem remains.
The sound in the system tray icon is a trademark of the Red Cross on it, but sounds work ok.
Analyses of virus through McAfee (all installed updates and latest virus definitions) showed no signs of the virus.
As already mentioned in the original post, System Restore does not resolve the problem. I got to the new vista installation to fix the problem. Some windows updates and reboot after applying the update seems to be the cause.

A deployed Windows form does not work for MAC users?
Hello
I deployed my form in Windows and it works perfectly when used on a Windows computer, but Mac, will refuse to submit the form, AutoSum for price fields does not work, copy & paste bug is and are they record the form Mac and manually send it by electronic mail, the text in each field is invisible until you click the field. Therefore, you will see a field at a time and you can't print it.
What is the solution to have a form that will work as well on MAC and Windows?
Thank you very much!
The problem isn't the form, this is the PDF viewer who are using these users of Mac, which is the preview application. If they use Reader or Acrobat, everything works perfectly.
Preview does not support JavaScript in PDF files, which is why none of the calculations or formatting work. It also corrupts form fields when a form is saved, which causes the contents of the field not visible. You can get the contents of the field to display if you export the form data to a file using Acrobat and then re - import data from the file. This will cancel all the damage that caused an excerpt, but it will get the contents of the field to display.

Have tried just about everything I can think of. computer is connected to the front secure networks without problem.
More information would be useful. Windows XP did not support thereafter until SP3 WPA2 wireless encryption, so if you have not installed SP3 and try to authenticate on a network protected by WPA2, it may not work.
Assuming that you do not have SP3 installed, try to go into your wireless network configuration / configuration screen. (There are several different configurations of wireless, including ZeroConfig, but we do not know that you are using). All most of them save previous in a 'profile' wireless connections so that when he meets this wireless again, he knows how to configure itself. Find the section of your configuration screen profile, look for the SSID of the router you are trying to connect, and if you see it, then delete that profile. This will allow your machine to then reconnect to the router wireless with an open mind.

Windows 7 does not ask for password when password protected sharing is on.
Hi guys,.
I'm no stranger to permissions etc as I work in it, but it confused me after 4 hours of messing around.
I'm trying to make sure that when I share a file on my home network that windows requires a password in order to access what it is not doing.
The following conditions are true for both machines:
Are windows 7 Home premium
Have file sharing enabled on each respective network adapter
Are members of the home network
Are both on the network, called "WORKING group".
Assistant file sharing was turned on and off then to make sure it wasn't an influence, it is currently off as he auto-actions the user root folder.
Network discovery is on
File sharing and printer is on
I tried the two combinations of sharing folders public or not, but is currently disabled.
Streaming media is off
Password protected sharing is on
Tried the two combinations of user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. (This is currently set to allow windows to manage)
So I won't list them the public parameters are not relevant.
I put one hand on my laptop remove 'Everyone' and 'administrators' only have my own authorized account which is be an administrator.
My other machine but I still seem to be able to open and access the folder. I tried to change advanced sharing permissions and security settings to exclude any group that can be let my other pc on the network but so far still no prompt for password.
I even went to regedit and apply the following on both machines:
1. Open Registry Editor (Start search - regedit)
2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel
VALUE: 1
4 reboot your PC and try again to establish the connection.Can anyone help?
Thank you people!
I think I've cracked the question:
I created a new account admin on my PC and the first time I tried to access anything, I got the password. I don't have it a second time.
I then removed and put in the passwords and then disconnected cache and back in and asked again the password.
I tried the same thing on my other account, but it has not yet requested.
It turns out that even on another computer, if you have the same username and password that it automatically authorizes for good once you enter the network password first.

Single-pass does not work for Web sites after the last update of firefox
Single-pass does not work for Web sites after the last update of firefox. This works in IE and Chrome and it works under windows (when starting the computer), but not with any website in Firefox.

- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Plugins. Then on the right, check the control on the right side of the SimplePass.

Hi my NameJoel,
See the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.Method 1:How to troubleshoot an installation fails on Windows XP Service Pack 3Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.Note: A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. Then the firewalleither blocks information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or throughdepends spent on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) include firewall software.See also:You cannot install updates from Windows Update, Microsoft Update, or by using the auto update after a repair of Windows XP after installing Windows XP SP3 immediately after a clean installation of Windows XP SP2 or
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3Note: Disable your antivirus software is not usually recommended, some software antivirus prevents certain system changing files. This can cause the Windows XP SP3 installation failure. To make sure that you manage to install Windows XP SP3, temporarily disable your antivirus software, including any third-party antispyware and firewall program.
