I updated win7 and now I cant see ff. I have reinstalled it 5 times now. It shows it is running in task manager but it is not visible on the desk top.

I installed win7 ultimate and then ff. ff worked fine until I installed win7 service pack 1 and all the other updates it recommended. I click to open ff and nothing happens. I look in task manager and it shows it is running. It is not visible on the screen or in the task bar. I have reinstalled a fresh download of it 5 times. I even tried the beta version but still the same problem. I can use explorer and chrome ok but not ff.

The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. Will I lose everything?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:

    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
    Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.

  • After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

    win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
    if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
    try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

    There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
    Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
    If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
    To do so, please do the following:
    #Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
    #Press the power button
    #Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
    #Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
    Please report back with the results of both solutions.

  • On Lion OS why do new icons not appear on the desk top either from drag and drop of scanning onto

    There seems to be an error on Lion OS which I installed recently. If you drag files onto the desk top they disappear. However, they can be found in finder. If you scan direct to the desk top they also do not appear. Is there a bug?

    Sounds to me like you have a corrupt plist file.
    First thing I would try would be to simply relaunch your Finder and see if that sorts your problem.
    >ForceQuit>Finder>Relaunch
    If not navagate to com.apple.desktop.plist and delete.
    Finder>GO>(option Key)Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    or in Finder shortcut ( ⇧⌘G) copy and paste:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    delete the com.apple.desktop.plist
    Relaunch your Finder again. 
    The deleted plist will rebuild itself to default setting after Finder relaunch
    Report back on your sucess or failure.

  • I updated iTunes and now cannot hear my audiobooks. Everything else works, but not audiobooks. How do I fix it?

    I received an alert saying that it was time to update iTunes and I did. When I went to listen to an audiobook on my computer it played, but no sound was forthcoming. I tried all the other venues(music. podcast,etc) and they all work fine. The books are from audible.com and I have 42gb of them, so this is s first time problem.
    What do I need to do?

    There may be a work around... Am unsure how you are adding the file to iTunes, if youre importing it directly or not, but this worked for me...
    Delete existing entry in iTunes (right click on the audiobook and show in windows explorer and delete actual file also)
    Redownload audiobook with Audible Download Manager.
    When asked if you want to download directly to iTunes, select NO
    Locate downloaded file, drag and drop into iTunes library, should now play.
    I think Ronson58 maybe right that it has something to do with iCloud affecting the DRM signing for that file, which has been broken by the iTunes update, and reimporting in this way recreates the DRM signature.
    I hope this helps. Please post back with any findings.

  • I close Firefox and then try to shut down my computer, but Windows says that Firefox is still running. It does not show up as running in Task Manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with same result.

    I have also had problems starting Firefox. I click the icon and nothing happens. That problem is intermittent. The Windows message that Firefox is still running after I have closed the Firefox browser keeps occurring and I do not know how to remedy this.

    The one thing that is locking up fire fox is the plug ins. You have to check to see if a plug in is locking up firefox first of all.
    To see the processes press : CTRL+ALT+DEL. then click the tab marked "Processes" Then look for Fire Fox and click on it. Click the Yes button when the warning box show up.
    Then do the say for "Plug-in Container" I believe that is called.
    this is because all ads are now flash ads or video ads. They lock my computer up all the time.
    When the CTRL+ALT+DEL are pressed. Keep this minimized and you can see if your computer is running at 100% memory near the clock. If the box is totally green, you are running a lot of programs on your system. Check the processes and find out what is not needed. Also watch your virtual memory. Rule of thumb is 1.5x total memory.
    Then now it would be able to shut down the computer the right way.
    Hope this helps you out.

  • Just had Javascript update done and now Firefox won't open,,,keeps coming up with XML Parsing error not well formed. how can I get rid of this?

    also awindow pops up NS error XPC Bad convert JS cannot convert JAVASCRIPT argument arg 4 (NSL window watcher open window)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == just today ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; (R1 1.5))

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • Updated Iphone and now just showing an unknown error (14)

    I updated the most recent update for my iphone. Once it had finished updating, it came up with an unknow error. My iphone is just showing the sign saying i should plug it into itunes. it tells me i need to restore. i restore it and it just says the error again. i can restore it on my sisters laptop but it means i dont have any of my own numbers or mesages or pictures. i need all of this. can anyone help?

    when you tried to restore the iphone the first time it deleted every thing off the iphone. every time you sync, it destroys the old back up, and then makes a new backup. if you can get the iphone up and running you can try to put the back up back on. But the backup may be damaged too.
    Also have you checked your computer to see if any of the data is stored else where? (address book, ical, iphoto, itunes)
    some times even if the data is damaged you may be able to open the back up using a 3rd party back up viewer. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Freeware-App-Extracts-iPhone-Backups-for-Viewing- on-Your-Mac-97780.shtml

  • Firefox updated today and now when I reply to an e-mail, my reply box won't open all the way.

    When I reply to an e-mail the box opens, but won't open all the way. When I try to make it bigger it just scrolls back up so I cannot see what I'm replying.

    HI love3000,
    Do you have an example url of where this happens? As well as a screenshot of the before and after ?[[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    This would help investigation for the web compatibility team.
    You can also try to refresh the page or [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]

  • Dropped/recreated SQL jobs and now SQL Agent can't run b/c old job_id is still being referenced by the Agent.

    I've seen a common issue in several of our production environments where after we upgrade our software the SQL Agent can't run some jobs that were recreated as part of the process because they're referencing the old job_id (in msdb.dbo.sysjobs) that no longer
    exists.  I can fix it easily enough by restarting the agent as this will flush whatever cache is being used by the Agent but I'd like a less invasive way to do this, if possible.
    Is there any way to flush the cache used by the SQL Agent to store job_ids without having to restart it?  Thanks.

    You may try this , and this solves this issue.. I hope if you do this then you no need to restart the agent...
    DECLARE @jobId binary(16)
    SELECT @jobId = job_id FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs WHERE (name = N'Name of Your Job')
    IF (@jobId IS NOT NULL)
    BEGIN
    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_delete_job @jobId
    END
    DECLARE @ReturnCode int
    EXEC @ReturnCode = msdb.dbo.sp_add_job @job_name=N'Name of Your Job'

  • My computer crashed and I cant reload firefox.. I have tried the task manager and deleting uninstalling and installing program again. I click on icon and nothing appears although is running in task manager

    My computer crashed and I cant reload firefox.. I have tried the task manager and deleting uninstalling and installing program again. I click on icon and nothing appears although it appears to start and is running in task manager, but the browser wont open.

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things
    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
