Firefox: Flickering when scrolling - need help with clean 'new' install

Screen is flickering when scrolling (IE does not). I tried disabling add-ons and tried safe mode - neither helped. Running Win 7 Pro 64bit. Uninstalled via 'Programs and Features'. Download and reinstalled Firefox. Now it shows all my previous settings: menu bar, bookmarks bar, etc. Question: how did it get that stuff back if it 'cleanly' uninstalled? Question: how do I know it didn't pick up it's old 'bad habit' from the previous settings? I am an experienced PC user but not Firefox expert. Looking for help lest I have to ditch Firefox completely...

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Hello Andrew,
Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.

Need help with DM software install - installer thinks I have previous installation, but I don't

This is really frustrating me, but I recently uninstalled v4.3 and have been struggling to re-install ANY version of the DM onto my XP Pro machine. I have followed every bit of advice I can find including clean un-install / install, change the TEMP environment variable, unzip the installer and store locally, but I still can't figure this out.
I've been studying the installer log file, and I think this might be a clue:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You say you followed the instructions for a clean install -- but what about a clean un-install? Those instructions are here...

Need help with the new Multi-cam feature in CC

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Multi-cam feature in CC and have a few questions, so would be happy with help/advice for any of the issues below. The platform is Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
The first question is what am I doing wrong? This question relates to the fact I'm trying to use Multi-cam and encountering a lot of frustrating glitches, as sometimes it seems to work and at others it doesn't.
The video I'm trying to edit comes from a dance show so I created a sequence called Act 1. I then highlighted the six clips of Act 1 with Cam 01 at the top, as I wanted the audio from this clip and made a Multi-cam feature using the audio synch. I dragged it to the sequence, set the prog window to Multi-cam and was amazed at how well it had synchronised all clips, as I could see all six clips with great audio synch from Cam 01. So far so good and after thinking how brilliant it was, things went downhill from there
I started by using ripple delete to drag to the start of Act one and then tried editing with Multi-cam. That's where I encountered the first problem, as sometimes it seemed to toggle between cams but didn't put edit points in and the selected cam had a yellow border and not a red one. At other times it inserted edit points when I changed cams and the selected cam has a red border. I can't work out what I'm doing, or not doing for this to happen. Can anyone help please?
The second question is how do I cut audio and video at exactly the same point, as I want to edit out pauses in between the different elements of the actual dance show. When I use the razor tool in Multi-cam it only cuts the video. I tried highliting audio and video using shift, but to no effect. If it matters audio and video are shown as linked when I right click. I thought I might get it to work if I revealed all original clips within the MC nest using the technique shown in "Adobe Learn." This was Ctrl double click, but it resulted in the third problem.
When I tried Ctrl double click I ended up with only Cam 02 showing in the V2 track and after some frustrating attempts at resolving this issue I decided to start all over again. I deleted the PP project and created a new one, importing everything again. I followed exactly the same procedure as I originally did to create a Multi-cam nest, but when I dragged it to the new sequence I saw Cam 02 in V2 of the sequence, which is the same as it was before I deleted the original project. Premiere Pro seems to have annoyingly remembered the actions that went wrong, so please can anyone tell me how to tell Premiere Pro not to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me on any of the issues.

In Premiere Pro, multi-camera is accomplished by nesting a sequence. There's a new, more automated way of doing this in CC. View the steps here: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/04/a-quick-walkthrough-of-editing-a-multi-camera-s equence-with-clips-synchronized-by-audio.html
HOWEVER, you must be warned that multi-cam in CC is currently broken. A patch is in the works, but until it is released you should not use multi-cam in CC.

I need help with my new LG G2. I dial *611 but it will not recognize my phone number

I am having trouble setting up my new LG G2. When I dial *611, it will not recognize my number, and the 800 number refers me back to the *611 number. There is no live chat available on the website, so I am lost. Is this any way to run customer support?

It seems I am about the only G2 customer support you'll fund unfortunately. Chat is available on the support site after logging in to My Verizon on the web, but you have to click on Contact Us at the top right of the page then choose Live Chat and then Help with My device and then look to the right and wait for the red dot to turn green. *611 will take you to a screen where you can launch My Verizon or Click to Call which dials the customer support number. Unfortunately chat is about as useless as waiting for a rep to respond in the forums. Calling is the only way to get started and work your way up the chain. Going to a store is a hassle. What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't activate the phone or set up your Google accounts or what?

Need help with some JS installing Bumpbox 2.0

I am trying to add a lightbox effect to a pdf on my website, I found a Javascript plugin at http://www.artviper.net/bumpbox-demo/index.html that looks like it should do the trick, but I am having trouble getting it to work.
To narrow down the problem I created a test.html file that I stuck in the root directory of the folder I downloaded from their site (so I am working locally off my desktop at this point)
My code is as follows... I feel like I am missing something super obvious, does anyone see it? (do I need to define the .bump class in the css file?)
Thank you in advance for the much needed help!

Dreamweaver 4 Dinosaur needs Help with Clean Up HTML Error

I'm a dinosaur still using DW 4.01 for our company website. Recently, due to a PC crash, I had to reinstall it on a new DELL Workstation running under XP Pro SP3.
Tried to run the Clean Up HTML command and got this error every time on any page I tried to use it on:
"While executing onClick in Clean Up HTML, a JavaScript error occurred." Then you have to select Cancel, or DW will abruptly close/crash.
There are a few references to external javascript files - do I need to comment these out to get CleanUp HTML to work???
Has anyone ever seen this problem before? I find ZERO references to it online.
Can't afford the $200 to upgrade to a newer version this month, nor do I have the time to learn a new piece of software. Just trying to ride the Edsel to the dinosaur graveyard til the economy gets better.
If you have a suggestion on how to FIX or workaround this bug, it would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.

See if this helps:

SCCM Driver Injection : What am I missing? Need help with getting drivers installing correctly in my environment.

Everyone,
I'm not new to using SCCM, but i'm VERY new to setting up and managing it. I have just laid it down for the school district that I manage, and i'm loving it. Imaging is going great, all but one thing now...drivers installing.
Let me tell you what I've been doing, so hopefully a kind soul out there can tell me where my logic of the driver "injection" process is lacking and might can fill in some gaps.
I downloaded all drivers pertaining to the 7-8 series of computers we have in our environment currently, and imported them based on a criteria such as this:
x86.LenovoEdge71.Desktop
x86.DellOpti755.Desktop
so forth and so on
I created packages based on the same exact naming scheme. I update my distribution point at the end of the import, and all the drivers/packages/categories are in place. When I go to Monitoring/Distribution Status/Content Status, all of my packages
show up , but under targeted it says 0.
My thoughts from reading online, is I upload all these drivers and during my task sequence where it says it's "applying device drivers" it's set to "install only the best matched compatible drivers" and "consider drivers from all
categories". I also checked "do unattended installation of unsigned drivers no versions of Windows where this is allowed".
so correct me if my thinking is incorrect, it should search through all series of the computers we have in our environment and grab the best drivers from the overall database. Is this not right?
The reason I ask this, is we have a few hundred HP 6000 Pro desktops. WHen I image them, it comes up with 2 unknown devices. OF these, I can manually point them at the folder from which I uploaded the drivers for this series/category and it installs
100% successfully...MANUALLY. What's the reasoning behind this?
I can't help but think there's something missing in my process / logic and I need to be set straight.
Can someone out there tell me what i'm doing wrong? We're planning a district-wide re-imaging before summer's over, and the clock's ticking...but the drivers being installed are all that's keeping us from starting our migrations.
Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much!

You have setup everything correct, but for your desired result you need to use "Apply Driver Package" Task rather than "Auto Apply Drivers".
Auto Apply drivers will install the best matched/compatible drivers for only the PNP devices.For more info on this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680990.aspx
Whereas "Apply Driver Package" would install all drivers you have in the package and hence you don't see the unknown drivers in device manager. For more info on this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680403.aspx
If you have multiple models, create this task for each model individually and then associate with a WMI query condition under Options tab to check the manufacturer/model
Example: Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Manufacturer = "HP" and Model Like "6000%"

Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Windows XP on the PC

Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

Need help with 10gAS infrastructure install on RH linux

Attempting to install a 10g Infrastructure (10.1.2.0.4) on an RedHat ES 4.0, update 2 Server (Brand new clean install of OS followed by install of Infrastructure.) System is a AMD64 3000+ with 2GB memory (we will be loading the AS on this same server, so we went with extra memory.)
Following the Installation guide to the letter (even caught and corrected the incorrect SHMMAX parameter value in the QIG) All of the pre install steps completed. During the actual install accepting mostly defaults (changing group to oinstall vice oracle and putting in the system name where required are the only 2 changes I can think of)
Everything installs fine until we get to the Single Sign-on Configuration assistant At that point we get an error ERROR : Exception while configing SSO DAD :

I would swear that this worked once before when I have the server at home (and not attached to the network) but we have tried to re-install (both OS and Oracle from the ground up) while not connected to the network and still get this error (we have another LDAP on the network that we thought was conflicting, but have eliminated that as a prossiblity.)
This is the production version of the Oracle applications server, so I would assume that if a number of people were having a problem, I would see something in either OTN or Metalink and I dont see it in either
The only difference I can see is that I am using Update 2 vice Update 1 (the certified version) I can try going back but V1 but would that make that much difference?
I see several others have done this without a problem so I home they can help Ideas from anyone?
Thanks.
Michael
<Note: Cross posted on Identity Management forum (as it's an SSO error)>

Hi Michael!
The problems I had with SSO were way different than your problems. What came to my mind is to check the network settings of the machine. What I usually do is to set the hostname and the domain in the /etc/sysctl.conf .I have a ES40u2 were I had no problems whatsoever.

Need help with arch linux install!

Hello, let me start off by telling you about the predicament I'm in at the moment. I've been trying to install arch linux on with a cd-drive that has been failing for a little over a year now, so you can already see where my problem starts! The cd-drive, however will work with such cd's as Windows, Ubuntu, and Slackware, which I'm happy with. Yet, archlinux doesn't work so much.
And now maybe my solution. I've got a usb cd drive, that I've had laying around that works well, just not well enough for my bios to be able to boot from; which is horrible I know. I've searched the bios for loading a usb cd drive and everything else, including google so I don't think I'm going to get anywhere with that one. Anyways what I'm thinking of doing is that when archlinux is in the terminal right before you type the "/arch/setup" command, I would like to know if there is any command that allows you to change the cd it boots the cd from to go right into the installation. I'm still working on easying my out of the newbie stage of linux at the moment, but I've never run into a command like that, that would help me out. Hopefully there is one though, because I would very much like to archlinux to work, so please respond! Right now I'm running elinks through the terminal right before you type "/arch/setup". Thanks!

So you get through the boot process just fine then on your old CD drive. The only thing you should have to do after that is to throw your CD into the USB CD drive and proceed with the installation. The installer should then ask you what CD drive you would like to use when you choose install from CD.
Another way to do it would be to switch cd like above and then manually mount your /dev/[your_usb_cd_here] on /src. The installer then has to be pointed to this place as the source of your installation. To find out what your usb cd drive is called you should unplug it, then replug it and run: dmesg
The mount command might also need to be shown that this is a cd so:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/[usb_cd_device_name] /src
should do the trick.
If you really want to learn more of what the installer does (and fail installing a few times) you should also check out the command
/arch/quickinstall
If your Internet connection is up for it, it seems like you could just choose an FTP install instead.
Goodluck!
Once the CD is removed from the drive that it was booted from. the installation will not continue, as the arch install always goes back to the boot drive to continue read the neccessary information for the install. I do not think there is a way to fool the computer into booting from one cd drive and then continueing on with another. To do this you would have to tell the computer that you are switching drives.
If you can boot up the CD kernel and get to where you type in /arch/setup then the next thing I would od is FTP install. That would limit your CD rom drie usage.
There is also a way to install arch from within another distro, EVEN ANOTHER LIVECD! <-- this may be your best bet. Check the wiki, there is tons of information there.
