Windows Vista Icon Dock
recently my computer crashed and now my dock of icons on my desktop disappeared and I was wondering how can I get it back?
If it is above > look in the start menu > programs > software Dell > Dell Dock > or re-download.
If another brand computer > look in their software > under start > programs.
See you soon.

Upgrade to Firefox 24 and now nothing works at all despite uninstall it and reinstall several times and lose all my favorites etc. However, it does not start in safe mode. At first, I thought it was my Norton 360 Security, but after 2 hours in contact with them, I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I see the moment where the cursor and then it disappears and nothing loads.
My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I use Windows internet explore for the time.
HELP Please!
Thank you nellus91.

Problem solved.

I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501. I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results. First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel. Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools. For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update. Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer. Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears. The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem. My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero. Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.
Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).
To start your computer in safe mode, you can check the link below:http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx>

Another forum for desktop icons frozen suggests will restore program, but I'm having trouble
by following the instructions given. Any detailed instructions and suggestions - or any other solutions would be much
appreciated!
You are welcome; Sorry, it didn't fix it.
It seems that by what you tell us it works OK in Mode safe as the system restore worked.
Function icons open programs and run in a reasonable manner in Mode safe?
Try this:
Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:

There are many things that could cause this type of problem.
They may have installed more then an Antivirus, which is a no-no.
If the worst happens, instead of scrapping, back up the data and reinstall Vista from the DVD or from the recovery partition.
See you soon.

I am a 67-year-old educator specialized for 10 children with special needs. Eelle have degrees of autism and require very individualized changes of their standardized curriculum class in public schools. My laptop was purchased in 2007, and while she is an old lady like me, she is reliable, powerful and small enough horse for me to work on the fly... I just want to her top in order to exploit one of my docking stations or both at the same time...
Gateway model C-5815 notebook convertible; touchscreen navigation or Penabled; Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo processor; U 7500 1.06 GHZ GHZ 1.07; 4 GB RAM 32-bit operating system. Windows Vista Business... AND ONLY 2 USB PORTS from where I work, 2 external hard drives, 2 printers; 2 scanners; 1 external TV/monitor, 1 keyboard, 1 ball control, external speakers and sinc various gps units, Ipods, cell phones, etc etc etc... I did all this by the docking station to a generic port Targus 3 unit and an extension of USB Belkin 7port...
UPDATE Mahalo for anyone who has tried to help me with this question... I read everything that was recommended, but nothing has addressed this issue directly. In the end, I just bit the bullett and both plugged to my laptop... She has chewed on everything what adding new material for some time, but then she moved and purred... I even tried plugging and unplugging does material of a docking, and still she purred... Mahalo to look at the problem (not) with me... Apparently the business Windows Vista is quite difficult to adapt to both stations and host at the same time...

Vista icons in windows Explorer refreshes every minute or so, how fix?
Every minute or so icons start refreshing in Explorer. I tried increasing the icon hidden in the registry, the removal of "IconChache.db", all to nothing is (apart from reinstalling my OS). Whenever the icons updated performance decreases significantly. I ran antivirus (Avast free with Microsoft Security Essentials) scans, everything came without any problem. On another note, Explorer sometimes crashes when opening an image.
