F11 function has stopped working on my Satellite L550

Am running 7 Pro 32bit OS on a Toshiba L550 i5duo / quad thread core 4 RAM 500G HD Ati radeon premium. Up to now I had the F11 function working perfectly and recently it has stopped working at all. Then after completing a restore - which lost my Kaspersky Pure install as well it started up again. However after a couple of critical M$ updates it has gone back to not functioning. Hitting the F11 or the full screen in View drops the taskbar but only maginally reduces the size of the tools. menu, and address bars at the top. Have tried the FN key - for unlocking - no go.
This has become a really frustrating problem to find a fix for as I have searched forums gallore and Google without any luck. The M$ tech and other fixers help want money for finding the problem and I think as it is in all probability an OS problem or worse an HDD problem (had one go on my Toshy Vista machine before - not a cheap fix!!) - that M$ should be able to help without the cost, as the machine is only 7 months old! I was told bout this one and hopefully being nearer to "home" someone in here might know
Can anyone who may have had this problem or know what the problem is help me out before I go stir crazy? Will be most appreciated!!

Thanks so much to you both yes it was the F11 to "full screeen" in IE8 (and others) and yes Peter I tried your suggestion as I also found a vague reference to it in Paul Thurrott's Windows 7 Secrets. But yor explanation was so much easier to follow. Now I have my beloved full screen back - there is something out there after all lol!!
Can't thank you enough as it has been two weeks of hell trying to find the solution - even M$ were that unhelpful it wasn't funny.

As I mentioned above, the minimum VRAM requirement has been published for a long time. That you chose to ignore that is whose fault again?
If you want to run some of the most sophisticated software available, you might have to consider getting more sophisticated hardware. You should have considered it before.

JAVAscript MM_goToURL iframe function has stopped working

I've been using a piece of javascript generated as part of an old version of Dreamweaver for a few years now with no problems. However, I visited my site the other day and discovered that one of the functions for 'MM_goToURL' has stopped working. I use this function to travel between pages in the site as well as changing iframes located within certain pages. While the code still works for moving between pages, it no longer works for iframes (or at least not on this site).
Could I ask for someone to look over my simplified code below and note any errors that may have crept in? Thanks.
JAVAscript code: (file location: javascript/design.js)
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
   var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = false;
   for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args[i]+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/food.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/design.js" >
        </script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="button" onClick="MM_goToURL('iframe','text2.html');return document.MM_returnValue" >Text</div>
<iframe id="iframe" src="text1.html" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" ></iframe>
</body>
</html>

I've now solved the problem by adding the criteria of 'name="iframe"' to the iframe code.
All fixed! :-)

"Configfree has stopped working" error on Satellite L300 running Win7_32bit

Full text message *ConfigFree Task Tray Menu has stopped working*
Every time the USB modem (Huawei E352 HSPA USB stick) connects this error appears. Running Win7 Ultimate 32 bit.
Did Google search: some reckon it's a virus, others reckon it's a hardware/software issue.
How do I fix it? Any ideas?
Thanks

It is not easy to help you because you use external third part hardware. I dont think ConfigFree is tested so intensively with all kinds of external devices.
Why this happen can be just speculation. Fact is that ConfigFree is not necessary to run so I recommend you to exit ConfigFree before you start to use your modem. How to fix it? Good question. What you can do about it? Not much. Maybe to search for newer ConfigFree version and reinstall it in hope it will be OK. In my opinion, not more than that.
I use ConfigFree constantly with LAN and WLAN networks and there is no problem at all.

My mail search function has stopped working

A couple of days ago for no 'apparent' reason my mail search function stopped working.
I have 2 IMAP accounts that run through gmail - neither they nor the 'on my mac' accounts are working as they normally do. It's very strange as some things come up on my search, but most things do not.
This happens whether I select 'search all' or pick a particular folder to search in - I can see the email is there, but the search function doesn't pick it up when I test it out.
I'm on Mac OS x, V 10.6.8 in case that's relevant.
Any suggestions would be fabulous - thanks!

Mail search uses Spotlight to some extent.
Try re-indexing Spotlight.

I use the SCC mediaserver in my work, and the crop function has stopped working on Firefox, although it works on Internet Explorer, and I'm wondering if a recent upgrade caused that problem.

I am a newspaper copy editor and use Firefox to work from home. I use the SCC mediaserver to crop photos and place them in the JazBox system, which includes Adobe InCopy and InDesign. For some reason, the crop function is not working on the SCC when I go on it in Firefox, although it's working in Internet Explorer, which is much slower. I didn't have this problem until I installed a Firefox update today. What can I do?

Try to update to Firefox 8.0.1
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Delete function has stopped working on Thunderbird for all files

Windows 7 Professional operating system on my laptop. Delete function in all forms was working fine until yesterday. Have failed to work out the problem.Any ideas out there?

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Right-click functionality has stopped working

Hi everyone, I'm having issues with the right-click functionality in my Captivate project.
I have:
Turned off accessibility
Set the Global Security settings so that the files I'm referring to are in a trusted location
Here's the problem - the files I have are sitting on a shared drive. The users and I all have the same versions of Flash Player and Internet Explorer, and we all have our Global Security Settings set to trust the location (because we've put the settings into the environment so it always applies). The issue is, the right-click works for me, but it doesn't work for my users. The only difference is, I have the Adobe Captivate and Flash software installed (hence have the Flash Player that is installed when they are installed) and my users don't.
Can you please help me? Are there any areas we should be looking at?

It could be as simple as not having the two-finger secondary click function enabled in the Trackpad seetings in System Preferences.
Does Control-Click work? (holding the CONTROL key, while clicking)

Mail - search function has stopped working

I have always been able to search Mail.app (v 3.2) messages by using the (top right) Search box. But if I type any search string in that box now, no messages are found. But Spotlight searches are still finding hits.
Is there a way to get Mail.app to "rebuild" it's search database? Is there a plist file (or similar) that could have become corrupted / non-functioning?
Any suggestions as to how I can solve this issue gratefully received.
Julian

You can rebuild your mail search indexes by following these instructions:
