Bookmarks change place in the Bookmarks Toolbar, I cannot pinpoint the cause.

I have the following configuration on my home netwok:
1 PC running Windows 7 32bits and latest Firefox release
1 PC running Windows 7 64bits and Nightly Firefox
1 Laptop running Windows XP SP3 and latest Firefox release
1 Tablet running Android Jelly Bean and Firefox for Android
I sync all of them, only bookmarks and Add-ons.
Every time the order of the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar changes, I reorder them and they change again the day after.
I don't know if the cause is related to sync or not.
I don't know if it is related to using the Nightly version.

Do you mean to unlink which device, the "Nightly" PC ?
All my devices are set to sleep at the end of the day, even the Tablet disconnects from the Wi-Fi network when the screen is Off (a new feature in Jelly Bean). Would it be the same as unlinking the devices? I think so. And it happens all the same.
Does Sync saves something locally in each device that tells also the order of the items? Or does Firefox sort the items on the Bookmark Toolbar when it starts?
BTW, to complete the picture:
* the "new" order of the items is not always the same, and it does not follow a specific sorting order (like alphabetic)
* The order changes only once, then it stays the same. Only when I reorder the items it happens again the next day.

Error: Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause

PLEASE HELP!
My Lenovo SL500 is not working at all - I get error: "Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
I tried the following on my Lenovo:
Windows repair menu = "windows cannot be repaired"
Lenovo Rescue and Repair
Rescued my files from Hard-drive (copied to external hdd)
Restore System = Failed
Diagnose hardware = HDD passes all tests
Don't know what else to do with = Boot from another device ? Access BIOS?
Because I do not have the windows vista install disks
I purchased and downloaded the recovery disks from neosmart.net
The neosmart windows vista recovery disks DO NOT WORK = Error is "Unable to find any valid Windows partitions on this computer".
The Hard-drive exists because I was able to back-up files from HD through (Lenovo Rescue & Recovery Rescue files). So there is a hard-drive.
I don't know what to do next?
Last resort is to Factory Restore via either the Lenovo R&R or Windows Vista Recovery Disks (neosmart)?
Will I still have windows?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi, Josemne
Yes, if you can restore the system through Rescue & Recovery, then you will still have WIndows on your machine, but all your files will be deleted from the hard drive. Luckily, you have already saved those files elsewhere. I would recommend trying to restore the system and see if that works.
Best,
Adam

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause.

Hello,
Last night when I was finished using it for the day I went ahead and shut it down. Prior to shutting it down it was working perfectly fine. When I went to boot it up this morning, I kept getting the error that windows was unable to start normally and it took me to startup repair multiple times. I don't have the operating system disk (Windows 7) anymore I'm not sure if my computer just didn't come with a windows 7 disk. All I know is that I don't have it anymore. I tried basically everything I could find on the internet that was supposed to help with it and nothing works. I tried going into safe mode and using the command prompt, still nothing. It's now just showing up with a screen saying "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. But like I said, this comes as a problem seeing as though I don't have my windows disc. I would really like to now if there is a way to fix this problem. I am requesting your help to fix this issue.

try to download and burn a copy of win7 from forums.MyDigitalLife.info
match your version and bits of windows
then run repair / Startup Repair 3x off the win7 dvd without letting it try to start into windows. rebuilds your partition tables and fixes a lot of things.
if that doesnt get you into windows... read up and run SFC /offwindir /offbootdir from the win7 dvd
you dont say much what you've tried .. i assume you tried from the F8 menu / startup repair / an older system restore date ?
You need the windows7 dvd !!!

Hi 12345Kiran,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Notebook and looping repair screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

I'm using HP dv6 7043 cl. My system was really slow. It was taking almost 7 mins in startup. I tried to reboot but I think I chose the wrong option while doing it. I pressed F9 button. It asked me to choose DVD-R or usb. I chose dvd option as my recovery was made on discs. Later it gave me the hp recovery menu options. There, I chose system recovery. It did it successfully but now the windows is not starting. It says Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. Can someone please help and tell me how can I solve this issue and again get back my original windows?

Hi,
Assuming this may just a problem with the recovery media/process, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source - Digital River.
Windows 7 Images.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Reverted my previous reversion, since the original change wasn't the cause of the Mustella breakage. So once again:
The 'lineBreak' style is now properly declared as non-inheriting.
For a long time we've intended for it to be non-inheriting... it lives in BasicNonInheritingStyles.as! And we want it to be non-inheriting, because in TLF this format does not inherit from parent FlowElement to child FlowElement, so in Flex is should not inherit from parent UIComponent to child UIComponent. But the metadata incorrectly said inherit="yes". It now correctly says inherit="no".

Windows filed to start, a recent hardware or software change might be the cause

My lenovo edge 72 system motherboard and power supply has been damaged, it won't have no longer life, so i brought new system as same brand but the motherboard and processor are different model, the old system's hard disk i have replaced with new system

Kindly help me with right solution.
Thanks,

Hi,
If the old disk drive is SATA, just pull it and install it in the new computer using a SATA power connector from the power supply and a SATA data cable.
If it is an IDE drive, use the data cable from the old computer and plug it into the IDE port on the motherboard. Connect a 4 pin drive cable.
All of the cables are keyed and they will only go in one way.
You could boot into safe mode, run device manager, then uninstall any drivers you believe are no longer in use.

HP Pavilion dm4. Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dm4-3114TX running Windows 7.
The laptop went to sleep during a windows update then froze, so I pulled the battery out to restart it. Each time it restarted it kept taking me to a grey screen. I've tried F8, F2, F10, F11, going to advanced settings and no matter what I click on it takes me back to the grey screen with no options (the cusor does move though). It did let me run memory tests though and they seemed to be fine.
I then pulled the internal hard drive out (probably shouldn't of done that) and put it back in. It does the same thing, only this time it's a black screen (cursor moves but is over sized).
I've got file's on there that I do want back, but at the point where I don't care and will wipe it all to factory settings, but unable to even get to those options. I have brought recovery disc's but they don't seem to help either.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.

Hi @DannyLongLegs ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that while doing a Windows update the computer went to sleep and then froze. You removed the battery to restart it but you only get a grey screen.
You were able to access the diagnostics and test the memory and it was fine. You removed the hard drive and reinstalled it.
Now when you boot up you have a black or blank screen but it is oversized.
There are some recent Windows updates that have been causing some issues.
First I would try to boot into safe mode to remove the most recent updates. Please look for these and remove them if found.
KB2982791, KB2970228, KB2975719 and KB2975331.
Another program that may be causing this issue is "Search Protect" if that is located please remove it also.
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
See which Windows updates are installed ( from window.microsoft.com)
Here is a link to Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
If the issue is not yet resolved I would do a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
During the recovery process you will see an option to backup your personal files to prevent loss. As you stated you have files you would like to retrieve, I would do the backup.

Word document is changing place on desktop after save

Hi!
I have more word documents ( .doc ) on my desktop. If i open it, and do some changes, and after saving and closing it, the file changes place on the desktop. If my file was placed on the the right side at
the desktop, after editing it, it will be moved to the left side. It will always move to the left side. I also noticed that this problem only occurs if my word file is saved as .doc. If i save my file as .docx, then it's fine. I have Windows 7 Professional
32 bit installed.
Can someone tell me, how to fix this?
Thanks,
kampi

Hi Luke,
Yes, i have a wide screen monitor ( Dell 2009W ) with a resoulotion of 1680x1050. However this happens also on a laptop ( Dell Latitude E6510 ) with a resulotion of 1600x900, so i don't think that the resulotion would be the problem. UAC is turned off.
I tried the clean boot method what you said. I have turned off everything, but the problem was still persist, so i think this could be some problem with word, because if i edit and save a .doc file, then a .tmp file will be created on the place of my original
file, and in the meantime the original file will moved to another location. It is interesting that on Windows XP this problem doesn't occured, not even a tmp file will be created and the .doc file stays on it position.
Unfortunetly the second method what you mentioned is not a solution, because then every time a user opens a .doc file, then he/she has to restore his/her icons.

Why do my bookmarks in the toolbar change places

After the update to FF 7.0 the bookmarks in my toolbar changed places. I put them back to the order that I'm used to and want to have them in, but all of a sudden they changed places again. I tried to get them in my order again, but again they changed. And the next time too.
What I am most fascinated about is that they get the same places ever time they change, but I can't see any logic in 'your' order of the bookmarks.
Why do they change places? I want my bookmarks in my order again.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history to makes Firefox restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.
* [[How do I use bookmarks?]]

I need to change the color of the font in my Bookmark Toolbar. Unable to read all bookmarks.

No longer have a question about editing the Bookmarks Toolbar. I may be dense, but I have not discovered how I may change the text (font) color when using View, Bookmarks, Custom. I see the capability to choose to use text and image, but not to change the color of the text. The ability to "bold" the text would probably be sufficient. I will revisit the Getting Started page and select other background colors to try and alleviate the problem. Persona or thema colors conflict with black text (for my older eyes - I have a vision problem.).

You can make such a change with code in userChrome.css
Add code to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.<br />

How can I get rid of the icons in my bookmarks toolbar without changing the icons to text in my navigation toolbar? I want text only in the bookmarks and icons only in navigation.

It seems that making changes in the toolbar preferences always affects all toolbars at once. Isn't there a way to just delete the icons so they aren't crowding up the bookmark toolbar? They serve no purpose. Most are just blank page icons.

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />

That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
