Firefox icon changes to default Windows icon after a few days

Downloaded Firefox browser on new HP Pavilion dv6. After a couple of days, Firefox icon changes to default Windows program icon. Uninstalled Firefox and re-installed. After a few days, the icon changed back to default Windows program icon. I cannot manually change icon back under Properties setting as default program icon is now associated with Firefox program. Laptop is 64-bit, and program is installed under Windows x86 folder.
Is this a Microsoft setting issue? Or do I need a different download for 64-bit?

You can change FN and CTRL key in the BIOS

How do I change the default window color?

Having white screens is too bright for my eyes!! I always change the default window color in Windows (hiss hiss) to a light shade of gray and that setting carries thru to all windows (i.e. Word, Excel, notepad....). Is it possible to do a similar thing with Tiger? I see that I can choose between a couple of "schemes" from a "Desktop and Dashboard Settings" area (or similar - i don't have my mac here now so can't look to see the proper name) but I see no way to alter colors within those schemes. If you can tell me how to change the default color for my windows I will be awfully happy. thanks.

Personally, I wouldn't trust it, and I don't hesitate to try these things most of the time even though they sometimes cause problems. But I've used Unsanity products before and they all require installing a preference pane called APE; Application Enhancement module, and that thing caused me lots of problems for my system, lots of crashes and flakiness. I won't use it again.
But I'm sure there are lots of people using it happily, but if you don't feel confident in dealing with system problems stay away from anything that adds a system preference pane or goes up in the top menu bar at the top (Apple icons excepted) or has to start up with the system.

How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

Hi champs,
Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

Firefox 4.01 keeps dimming the screen after a few secnds unless you keep moving the mouse.This is very annoying. It doesn't do it on Explorer or while in Windows so it is only happening ince I upgraded to 4.01

Firefox 4.01 keeps dimming the screen after a few seconds
unless you keep moving the mouse. This is very annoying.
It doesn't do it on Explorer or while in Windows.
It is only happening since I upgraded to 4.01
It happens even on this page if I stop typing or moving the mouse.

Symantec have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US

Firefox keeps changing my default search engine to Bing. I've changed it back 20 times already. Enough is enough.

Ever since the deal went down when Firefox changed its default provider from Google, I have had to reset my default search engine back from Bing at least every other day, if not more frequent. It is maddening. It doesn't just happen on one machine either, it's happening on all of mine.
I do have Firefox sync enabled with preference sync, so is it possible Firefox sync is getting out of sync? IE every time I change it on a machine, it misses a browser, and then the browser that doesn't get changed goes out and changes all the rest back in the next sync? That's the only thing I can think of, other than Mozilla selling their souls and values and forcing Firefox users to use a search engine they hate.
If the latter is the case, I have had enough and am switching to Chrome. I can't handle having to change my default search engine back every other day. Please someone tell me there is an explanation and a fix. Thanks.

Alright, I feel like an idiot. It was from an extension I installed called InvisibleHand that I installed right around the time the Google deal with Mozilla expired, which is why I assumed the problem was a result of that.
I just checked the settings of the extension and sure enough it has an option that gets ticked by default called "InvisibleHand Search (Use InvisibleHand (powered by Bing) as my default search provider)". So I jumped the gun and blamed Firefox, my apologies.
The extension automatically shows you if an item is cheaper elsewhere while online shopping which is useful, however having that setting ticked by default is pretty skeevy.
Anyway, thanks for the response and sorry I blamed Firefox :P

10g RAC database: instances fail after a few days...

Im afraid I'm new to Oracle, so assume total ignorance when replying!
We have two servers, db1 and db2 running Oracle under Windows 2K3 web edition [SP1].
Both have a shared Direct Attached Storage disk, over a Scsi fibre connection.
The database is set up using instructions found online for RAC.
Either instance will stop, and the other will take over, after a few days. The problem is, we aren't using the database yet. [There isn't a problem with it, the development people have checked that they can use the database.]
The two errors [found using the EM console] which seem to be relevant are:
'Metrics "Database Time Spent Waiting (%)" is at 100 for event class "other"'
and 'Failed to connect to database instance ... TNS no listener'.
[Which is obvioulsly the failure]
I have scoured the web, and the rather dense reference books for Oracle I have access to, and to no avail.
Another contributing factor is the 'WMI Performance Adaptor' stops and starts on both machines every thirty seconds.
Any response/guidlines/advise would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies if I have started this thread in the wrong place!

Flash player stops working after a few days.

I'm recently having issues with flash player on IE and Firefox each time a new version is released. This time the flash player stops working after a few days without any reasons. I have asked two other questions and I have tried the solutions but this time they are not working:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4617987#4617987
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4548211#4548211
Could anyone tell me what the reason is?
I also need links providing Flash player for IE and Firefox which are always updated. I need to first download the installer then install it offline not install it directly from adobe website.
Please help me solve this once forever!

I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening. How do I recover to normal?

I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening.
The groups I had set up disappeared and the Group button is gone.
When I first open the app, it opens 8 - 12 separate windows with 1 blank tab. The orange Firefox button is there with nothing else on that bar. Also, 3 tool bars are blank (i.e. space is there but it's just grey) with NO buttons.
If I want my previously opened tabs, I have to use the "Recently Closed windows" option to get back to where I was when I last closed down. The orange Firefox button is missing from this window but all the original menu items are back across the top.
So how do I get back to the way it is supposed to operate?

Jerricayoung,
you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

Remote control stops working after a few days

NW 6 SP3
ZFD 3.2 SP2
After importing workstations, remote control works fine. After a few
days, remote ping might work but NOT remote control. Sometimes even remote ping errors out with the message that the "REMOTE MANAGEMENT
AGENT
IS NOT RUNNING"(when it appears it is). If I stop and start the
"novell
wuser agent" service, then I can usually remote control the
workstation
again. Occasionally, however, I get the message "The Remote
Management
agent was unable to locate the workstation in NDS". At which point I
have
to delete the workstation object and re-import the workstation to be
able
to remote control it again.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a different server for each site(city) hosting the import
services. There is only one variable allowed in DNS so all sites
would
try to get services and register to the same server.
Using the container login script for each site to set the /s parameter
was
easier than changing the registry setting for each
workstation...especially if that server changed. This way I would
only
have to change it one place.
If the workstation has already been registered and imported AND I can
remote control it, does it NEED to find the import server again if it
hasn't been rebooted since the last time I remote controlled it?
Thanks, jg

Purchased music skips after a few days

My iPod skips my iTunes' purchased music after a few days. When I connect my iPod to the iMac again the songs are back on my iPod but only for a couple of days.
Can some of you help me out to solve this problem?

The same thing happens to me, and unfortunately, it almost always seems to happen at the worst times (getting on a long plane flight.)
I've done a lot of research on this topic in the Apple Discussions groups, and have tried all the suggested remedies:
(1) Re-setting ipod
(2) Re-loading music
(3) Updating firmware, software
Net/net, when you update your iPod, and connect to iTunes, or do any of above, it will work for a little while, and then it will just start skipping purchased music again.
I believe this must be result of defective players, or bug in some of players, as not everyone has this problem (my wife's works fine) - but based on number of comments re. this problem I see on this forum, many people do, and Apple should offer exchange.
