Yahoo somehow installed as my default browser and I can´t get this back to normal
OK so the other day I was watching on some pages, when all of a sudden I clicked on something that I have shouldn´t and it opened a site Mackeeper. The installer app Mackeeper some downloaded how on my MacBook and now everytime I open Safari, it goes to the Yahoo Search page and it does the same thing when I try to open a new tab or a new window.
So if someone could help me I would appreciate it a lot, I really look forward to Yahoo and now I hate even more thanks for that.
Go step by step and test.
1 safari > Preferences > Extensions
Disable all extensions or turn them off, then restart Safari to test.
Turn over some and test.
2 safari > Preferences > Search > search engine:
Select your preferred search engine.
3 safari > Preferences > General > homepage:
Set your home page.

My computer screen is enlarged, and I can't get it back to normal size.
You have posted in a forum dedicated to comments on the Microsoft Answers forum site. More likely, however, your problem is with the resolution of the screen. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties, then adjust the size of the screen. There may also be more and less buttons on the front of your monitor that control the display size.

XP has disappeared from the network and I can't get it back
My XP machine does not appear on my network more. My network with both XP and a MAC wireless machines worked fine until I added a desktop Windows 7 computer. Now, one of my XP machines disappeared from the network and I can not get it back. I have run the Configuration Wizard from the network a million times, but the device still does not appear. What I am doing wrong?

Title: Windows XP machine does not appear on the network after that Windows 7 has been added. Also have Mac on the network as well.
I set up a home network with two XP machines connected to my router and a Mac with a Wi - Fi connection.

Hello
in recent weeks, when I start the Firefox Os market, I see an HTML formatted without any layout. Somehow, I lost the page layout information. How can I get it back? The first idea was reinstalled on the market. But this isn't an app on the market...
Please help me. using the market without layout may not be used for long periods.
Other applications all work correctly. The market had a layout, when I bought the smartphone (ZTE C open).concerning
AKHi page,.
I understand you are having problems viewing the content on Firefox market, and that the CSS formatting seems to be missing.
Can you please attach a screenshot of what you feel?
What happens when you try to access the market via the browser, clicking on [marketplace.firefox.com]?
We can't wait to hear back on your part.
Thank you

If you open a new paint document, immediately to the left of the words 'Untitled - paint' at the top of the window, there is a small arrow with a horizontal line above him down. Click on that and then click Cancel in the list that appears and your cancel button should be back.

Recently my yahoo mail is open in the sidebar, or it opens as a full tab, but is overlaid on all other tabs and the only way I can get the other tabs is to close the overlay of yahoo mail. There are no controls showing except upper-left, it says YMail (and YMail how I listed in the menu bar if it is affecting any) and on the right is an X.
So, basically, I can't keep my mail open in a tab and do something else. I hit probably just a strange combination of keys, or it could be something with the last update (ff39) but I don't know how to get back to normal. He isn't past with other tabs or bookmarks.
I did some research and could not find an answer. I opened with all add-ons disabled in safe mode, but the problem was still there. When I click on the side bars 'show' that is not listed (just bookmarks and history) so I can't uncheck.
Anyone have any ideas? It's just a nuisance, but I'd love to have solved it. Thank you.
With regard to the opening in the sidebar:
The most common reason for this is a bookmark that has been added directly by a Web site. Due to restrictions on the operation of the websites with bookmarks, these usually have an option configured to open in a sidebar.
To correct this:
Right-click on the bookmark > properties
Then uncheck the box at the bottom to "load this bookmark in the sidebar".
What is fix?
In regard to be superimposed on the other tabs:
I can't imagine that. Is the site to go full screen? The F11 key toggles between full-screen and regular view mode. If the Web site generated a full panel screen, generally the ESC key will return to normal.
If you see this once again, you might experiment with these keys.
