Firefox keeps running after closing using 90% plus of CPU, WHY?

Using task manager FIREFOX continues to use a high percentage of CPU after closing it.
Running XP SP3
Exploerer continues to run also but a more reasonable CPU usage

Premiere Pro CS 6.exe stays active after closing the program

I am experiencing a problem with Premiere Pro CS 6.03. When I close the program, the second monitor would not return to desktop (it stays a black screen). The premiere pro cs.exe is active in taskmanager. Only after I end the exe process would the second monitor return to desktop. I am not using any third party hardware, only Adobe player for second monitor out. This problem occurs often, but not every time I use Premiere. I have never experienced this problem in Premiere Pro CS 5.03, which is still installed on the same PC. The technical Spec is: Intel 3930K, 32 GB RAM, GTX 560, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have tried to toggle between different NVidia drivers, but with no effect.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've had the process stay open after closing the program as well, but only on one of my two machines. For me, the 6.0.3 update seemed to correct the issue. Not sure why it's still happening in your case.

Since the last update of Firefox I've a real problem. While Firefox is running or in use my Laptop total freezes. The resource tool stops and nothing works. I have to power off my laptop to get by this.

After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning apears for every installed Add-on. "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"

After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning appears for every installed Add-on.
"Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"
So, i have to "Enable" my installed Add-ons on each reboot.
Would you please help me !
P.S.: I found that these files (and some others) will be deleted on each reboot, and it happens on computer start up (not at shut down)!
extensions.ini
extensions.sqlite
extensions.sqlite-journal
And as i mentioned, i have the same anti virus on my laptop and desktop, but i have not any problem on laptop.

Do you have security software that acts like a sandbox or uses virtualization to restore files on a next boot?

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button

I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button. The hard part is the buttons must change independently of each other.
To get an idea of some of things I’ve tried I’ve tried making the movie with two frames.
When I click the button it switched to the new frame which would show a movie clip,
Unfortunately all buttons would change color together and don’t see how to make it so that they change independently.

you must use movieclip buttons and code for their frame changes.

Png blurry/pixelated after i used the vanishing point filter and save as a VSP file?

Hi,
Why are my png blurry/pixelated after i used the vanishing point filter and save as a VSP file? And i'm using a high res picture. I'm using PS CC.
I got some screenshots.
This the result of the png
Thanx in advance

As I posted before, I would use it more if it had some of the functionality I need. I need to be able to change the opacity of the image I'm pasting so I can see EXACTLY where my overlaid image will register with the bottom image. VP seems to require a ton of processing and I wonder if maybe the software is handing off some of this work to the graphics card for calculating. Maybe this would explain that apparently not many people have run into an error that gets embedded in the file. Although my G5 is Apple stock, not super-modified.

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

After I use the Develop module in LR4 I edit in PS-CS4, now the develop changes do not show in CS4.

You need to send the file over to CS4 as a PSD (with Lightroom Adjustments checked)
CS4 cannot interpret the newer processing version used by Lightroom 4

Need Help Ye,
boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow?

Installing LR on a Mac computer after having used the license on a Windows PC

Hey guys,
I just got my copy of LR yesterday after having used the trial version for a while. I'm using LR on a Windows computer, but I'm considering switching to an iMac some time from now. Will I still be able to use the same copy of LR on that computer, perhaps after uninstalling the software from my Windows pc?

And no need to uninstall. Lightroom doesn't use the Photoshop method of keeping track of your installs. You are on the honour system here, and you're allowed two installs, anyway.

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?
