A "Caret Browsing" box has popped up and I cannot get rid of it.

This box just showed up and even when I tell it not to show me again and click no it does not go away. If I try to move it it pops back to the middle of my screen. Currently there are 4 of them now on my desktop. I did not download anything and do not think that I pressed F7 key to start this dialog. How do I get rid of this? I do not want or need it. This also opens when I closed Firefox and tried to us IE to look it up and see what it was.

  • I am playing words w/ friends and an add has popped up for "tiny monsters" and I cannot get rid of it...HELP!

    I am playing word with friends and a commercial pops up for tiny monsters and I cannot get rid of it HELP!

    Can you exit out of the app by pressing the home button ? If you can then try closing the Words With Friends app via the taskbar and see if it reappears when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Words app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Words app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. It displays text of whatever I am in, apps, docs, etc, and I have been unable to get rid of it.

    I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. I was cleaning my keyboard and must have hit some combination of keys that caused it. It shows text announcing everything I open on the display or am looking at. Can anyone help me turn this off? Thanks.

    Hi there francone,
    It sounds like you may have the Picture-in-Picture Zoom option enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information as well as how to disable it.

  • Browser is hijacked by Conduit and I cannot get it back

    My browser home page has been hijacked by Conduit and I cannot get it back. I have tried:
    - changing the home page in Options
    - removing all toolbars and extensions
    - removing all Conduit-related programs via control panel applet
    - using the about:config to search for 'Conduit' and reset all config lines
    - scanning with SuperAntiSpyware
    - using the Mozilla profile manager to delete my Firefox profile
    - using Help-> Troubleshooting Information -> Reset Firefox
    - searching and deleting line containing 'Conduit' in the .js files in my profile
    No matter what I do, whenever Firefox starts, my homepage is set back to Conduit. How can I fix this?
    thx

    I have just had the same problem but found part of the solution in this forum.
    The first thing to do is to type into the Firefox address bar about:config and hit enter.
    Acknowledge that you'll be careful!
    In the search bar type "conduit" and hit enter.
    Nullify all the entries by right clicking and select "reset". There are likely to be a lot.
    Now, what the other forum thread failed to say was to then go to Options, Privacy, and under History select "Remember History".
    Next, in the same window, select "Delete Individual Cookies" and search for "conduit". Delete all cookies containing the word conduit.
    Close and reopen Firefox and all should be well.
    As an added precaution I have added the Block Site extension to Firefox and in the options have added "search.conduit.com", which will hopefully stop this pest from reappearing. DO NOT SELECT THIS HYPERLINK FROM THIS POST!

  • I have a new MacBook Pro. While getting rid of voice over I ended up with a black box with icons in it and I cannot get rid of it and I can't get off the home screen

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro . I got into voice over and then figured out how to stop that but now have a black box in the middle of the home screen and that box has a bunch of icons .....(Keyboard, pointer etc) I cannot get it to close and I'm not able to go past the home screen.  Help

    If you click on that window, the menu bar should change to whatever program that is. Then click the program name and click Exit.
    If that doesn't work, click the Apple icon, then Force Quit. Look for something that says Not Responding and quit it.
    Last... if nothing else works reboot and see if that does it.

  • Aol Search has become the search engine and I cannot get rid of it

    I have Google as my search engine but as soon as I ask a question Aol Search pops up and I dont like its searches. I tried to remove from Task bar but not there and cannot seem to find anyway to get rid of it.

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''About:Config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

  • Flash mail is attached and we cannot get rid of it-HORRIBLE PROBLEMS

    FLASH MAIL somehow got attached to Mozilla and even the Apple Care people could not get rid of it. IT HAS RUINED my computer use. Cannot log on without this thing jamming up the works. Apple could not even contact Mozilla for help. Heck of a way to treat a contributor.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

    Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • Every time I open Reader XI I get a box that pops up and says "Cannot open in protected mode due to

    incompatible system configuration"

    Hi sdc01522,
    Please help me in understanding your problem better as on normal Win7 machines we don't get these issues.
    Can you please let me know the following:
    1) Exact operating system like Win7 or WinXP or Win8 (32bit or 64 bit) (Home, Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate) (Goto Computer , right click and you'll see the details in Windows Edition and system)
    2) Any antivirus/ antimalware/ encryption software installed in your system? (It might be stopping Adobe Reader to open with protected mode enabled)
    3) Are you login with any specific kind of user or normal administrator user ?
    4) Is your system a part of any special file system?
    5) Have you installed Adobe Reader at the default location (For 32-bit systems it is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0 and 64-bit it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0 ) or any other location?
    Thanks,
    Shakti K
