Desktop.ini on desktop windows 7 after update to FF17.0

2 updates (quicktime)
FF popup for update to 17.0
After auto update to FF 17.00 icon desktop.ini appeared on desktop and cannot get rid.
Have Norton Inet Sec 12 up to date.
How to get rid would be nice
Thank you

You probably see the desktop.ini file that stores some properties of the desktop in Windows because you have enabled seeing hidden files and folders.

In older Windows version (XP?) it was possible to hide the .ini on the desktop in this case, but Vista and later shows them.

Desktop does not recognize 8310 after update to 6.0.1

The BlackBerry desktop software does not recognize my 8310 after updating to 6.0.1. I am running Vista 64bit, SP2. When I go into the device manager it shows a yellow triangle and says I need to update my driver. Do I need to go back to an earlier version of desktop?

To manually install the driver:
On the computer, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
Expand the BlackBerry category and verify that BlackBerry Smartphone is listed.
If an exclamation mark is displayed, right-click the smartphone and click Update Driver.
If the Hardware Update Wizard prompts you to use Windows Update, select No not this time and click Next.
Select the Install from a list or specific location option and click Next.
Select the Don't search. I will choose the driver to install option and click Next.
Click Have Disk and then select Browse.
For 32-bit Windows browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\USB Drivers. For 64-bit Windows browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\USB Drivers.
Double-click on RimUsbNT.inf, click OK, and then click Next.

Cannot open link in new tap or window after update to v.5

I'd updated to V.5 and then found that it cannot open link in new tab or window, from google page, after updating. I'd reinstalled 2 times but it still be the same problem. How should I do? Please suggest.
Thanks.

This didn't fix the problem so I have decided to revert to the previous version: 24.6.0 esr. Maybe when version 31 or 32 come around I come back to the "latest" version?

All desktops and icons/wallpaper disappear after updating

My main desktop icons/wallpaper dissappear when I swipe to a different desktop/fullscreen App like Mail or iCal. Mission control shows nothing but a blank desktop. If you blindly click around I can find my documets/folders on the desktop. You can even create a new folder but it dissapers too. It appears to be covered by a dark grey desktop that is hiding everything. This happened right after I updated today.

Sorry, missed the part about updating to lion.
Mine is doing this but not from an update.
I was dragging photos to a file and must have let go of them without realizing it. {BTW, didn't mean to do this} Window said it was copying, from finder and I'm assuming it meant to the desktop. My computer copied some but not all. I relaunched finder and everything on my desktop disappeared. When tapping on the screen/desktop, hard-drive and files will reappear.   When pulling files/hard-drive from my computer and placing on desktop, they will disappear when the original file pops up.   When computer is shut down and restarted, I go through the same thing. I ran disk repair and the test from the install disk and nothing is wrong.
So, what do I do to correct this and keep my hard-drive/files on my desktop?

Desktop won't come up after update

Hello,
After today's update, my desktop won't come up anymore. When I enter my password in the login box, the sad face comes up telling me: “Oh no. Something has gone wrong. Log out try again”
The first time when rebooted after the update, my desktop came up, but very slowly. And I noticed right away that my gtk themes and icons were not rendered properly. Then, I rebooted again and now my desktop won't come up.
I dont remember all my updates but for sure 'xorg-server' and 'xorg-server-common' were among them. I dont know this is any use.
During update I didn't have any error message.
My system:
AMD dual core 2.6
Memory: 6 gb
Video: Radeon HD 3600 (using open source driver)
Desktop: Gnome 3.2

In your "/etc/inittab" file, you probably have a line that looks like "x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon". Modify this line to be "x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon 2>/home/some_file". Then errors encountered should be printed to /home/some_file.
jmak wrote:GDM wasn't part of the update and when I try to login typing 'startx' I get the message “command not found”
Then you need the package xorg-xinit.
I istalled 'xorg-xinit' and now when I type startx I get:
“Fatal server error:

Stalonetray no longer stays behind maximized windows after update

I only use a systray app like stalonetray to use the Network Manager applet and it stayed behind maximized windows until I updated my Arch and stalonetray to 0.8.2.1 and now stalonetray occupies window space even when applications are maximized. I haven't changed the .stalonetrayrc config file. Here it is:
background "#000000"

What should I change?

Hi,
I made a test on our test machine, "Find partial matchs" option was moved indeed. It should be moved in Windows 8.1 by design. However, I think "Find partial matches" was checked by default in Windows 8.1. So, user doesn't need to check them manually.
I made a test on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. A folder contains some subfolder.We can get the same result when "Find partial matchs" was checked in Windows 8.

Desktop H430 problems after update to Windows 8.1

Desktop LENOVO IdeaCentre H430 VDH3UGE Intel Core i3-3220 3,30 GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, AMD HD7570, Win8
After updating Windows 8 to 8.1. I have problems with software on my computer including Mozilla Browser.
Although the software installed in Windows 8, still run in update 8.1, many give problems: Sluggish, long (to very long) response time, hanging and such like. Even Mozilla Firefox worked in 8, but gave problems in 8.1, so I switched to Nightly.
Programs like Magix MusicMaker 2013 run really bad.
So too Arcsoft MediaImpression for Kodak
And in general there is a sluggish/long/hanging response.
I looked at Lenovo driver website to see if I needed updates and tried the first couple:
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Desktop = Realtek Audio Driver
h1100913.exe !!!!
But I must have screwed up with this download because I lost sound!!!!
Or I screwed up with BIOS download???
Flash BIOS update - Flash from Operating System version for H430 - Version ECJY24AUS
But when I got to the Core-Chipsatz Drivers I really got confused!!!
There were two options and I had no idea if I needed one, and which one, or both:
Intel Me Driver h1100732.exe Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel chipset Driver h1100731.exe Windows 8.1 64-bit
Too complicated for me, I should have stayed away from this, have no idea which is right - or even if I needed them really. It was just because the computer worked so bad!
Can anybody help, advise

I no longer believe it is avast antivirus causing the problem. I think Microsoft have screwed up again. Both Spybot and Avast were no longer compatible, and had to be updated to a new version - luckily for both of these there was a new version available. For some of my other software there is not - although they all functioned on W8 !! additionally I get other strange "happenings" like a window saying there is no CD inserted when there is no CD for the program (I read somewhere of someone also mentioning this) and other strange/weird little happenings which are not supposed to happen - and for no apparent reason!
This lenovo H430 is a really bad computer - now with 8.1 it is even worse !

Palm Desktop crashes after updating windows

Palm Desktop crashes on startup since I updated Windows XP (yesterday). Palm Desktop prompts me for password (as set up) but crashes immediately after that which invokes the odious Windows message: "Palm Desktp has detected a problem and must close - send message report?". I already tried unistalling and reinstalling Palm Desktop without success. Does anybody have any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your data has been corrupted, possibly your calendar,
There is a few things to try.
1. If your default calendar view is the month, I would do this step first. Change your date on your computer to two months in the future or past, then try to relaunch palm desktop. Let me know if it launches and I will tell you how to fix that.
2. If your default calendar view is not the month, the do this step. Locate your user folder it is in my documents/palm os desktop/variation of hotsync id
Once you find the hotsync id folder. Grab that and move it to your desktop so it is no longer in the palm os desktop folder. Then try to relaunch palm desktop
Let me know if either one of these steps let you open palm desktop then we will go into fixing them.

Windows 8.1 desktop empty after updating and application

I was at the Windows 8.1 desktop. while updating an application (not Microsoft) all seemed to go well. AT the end the desktop was completely empty. No Taskbar, no desktop picture, or desktop icons.
The Windows logo key on the keyboard wouldn't take me to the Start Screen. Right clicking on the desktop also did nothing. ALl I could think of was to turn the computer off using the power button. Is there a better way?

Hi,
I would like to know the certain name of the application you updated.
It seems that the updating of the application make the explorer.exe crash or no responding.
I suggest you press ctrl+alt+del, and click Task manager.
Then end the process explorer.exe, and click File -> Run New task -> type in explorer.exe.
See what's going on.

How do I stop Windows 7 from rearranging my desktop after updates requiring reboots?

Every time I receive an update from Microsoft (MS) my computer reboots. That's okay. But, MS rearranges all the icons on my desktop! It takes forever to get them back where I NEED them because of class project reqirements to save projects on the desktop
for qiuick access. The computer is mine, not MS's; I paid for the software when I bought the computer, it was installed by ASUS; as I see it, MS has no business rearranging the way I have my desktop. I WANT THEM TO STOP IT!

Try right-clicking anywhere in the blank space on your desktop and from
the menu that appears mouse over “View”, uncheck “Auto arrange icons”. If that doesn't stop it from messing up your icon arrangement the next thing is to make it so you don't care if it happens or not because the same way it can mess things up in an instant
you can put them right back in an instant.
Myself I have found success with to different programs...
UltraMon and Restore Desktop.
UtraMon which is for controlling your desktop when you have multiple monitors.
It has a checkbox setting under "Desktop Icons" and two options "Save Now" and " Restore Now." You get your desktop just how you like it and hit the save now and then if Windows ever jumbles your icons you hit the restore now
and poof everything jumps right back to how it was a second ago and stays put. Every time your icons move you can now move them back exactly the way you like in less than 5 seconds. If you want to change things around yourself just make the any changes you
want and hit the "save now" again and it will remember your new icon layout and jump back to that new arrangement going forward when you hit "restore now."
The other I have not used in a while (once you go multi-monitor you don't
go back :D) but it was free IIRC and only served the one purpose you are seeking was called Restore Desktop. It worked the same but instead of having to open a separate app like UltaMon it just added two options to the right click menu "Save Desktop"
and "Restore Desktop" once you've got everything set the way you like right click anywhere that is not an icon on your desktop and save and anytime things get jumbled you can right click the desktop and choose restore and everything magically jumps
back to the way you want it again.
Cheers!

Recent Windows 7 update causing monitor sleep problems/Windows loop in some HP desktops?

After perusing this forum, I wonder if there was a recent Windows 7 update that has been causing problems for some HP desktops and displays. My office has a 3500 Microtower desktop running Windows 7 Pro. While Windows 7 Pro is running and in use (as in, not prompted by any user-set power management option), the dual HP displays (via DVI split to VGA) will enter sleep mode ("No Signal", I believe) seemingly randomly/chaotically and without warning. No amount of mouse-waving and keyboard-smashing will wake the displays. The displays will not receive a signal after being turned off then on. Then, not immediately but after some undetermined time, the desktop hard drive light will begin to blink at a consistent 1-second interval (approximate), as though it is stuck in a loop.
My guess, based on both our office's experience and the posts I've read with the same problem (see below for links), is that this update would have become available either November 16 or 17, November 15 at the earliest.
Thank you for your attention to this conundrum!
Aaron
One more piece, not sure if relevant: a user connected remotely in order to monitor the desktop, but detected no problems with the machine. Unfortunately, I was not able to remain with the desktop to see if the displays had shut off at any point during his monitoring.

Hi,
If you think that the issue is related to a recent Windows 7 update then try going back to a known good restore point before the issue occured.

BIP Desktop - windows security update issue

Hi Wizards,
My PC has automatically installed Windows 7 security updates yesterday. As a result, the BI Publisher Add-In has disappeared from the ribbon in Word (it is fine in Excel though). A similar situation happened in August, where BIP did not work correctly due to another update.
I have already removed and re-installed BIP Desktop (11.1.1.5.0) with no success at the end.
I urgently need the fix, could someone point me to the right place in this forum or somewhere else, please?
Thank you, Peter Subert

Try following the steps detailed in:
