How do I get a helper.exe file that works so I can uninstall Firefox?

I am trying to uninstall Firefox. The Uninstall function in the Control Panel does nothing. The helper.exe file in the Firefox Uninstall folder does nothing, even when I "run as administrator".

System symbol is the command prompt. About elevation, you should right-click the command prompt link (on Windows 8 type command on Start Menu and right-click Command Prompt tile) and choose "Run with administrator privileges" or "Run as administrator" or similar. Then type chkdsk c: /f /r and you'll be able to check your disk.

  • How do I get back my downloaded files that were deleted through terminal?

    After taking advice from another discussion which was supposed to help me change the 'Invisible' file to being visible my tv show downloads deleted.... how do I get them back?!?!

    You can try something such as Data Rescue 3 to see if you can undelete the files - I've had good luck with it and can recommend it. You may or may not be able to recover your files, depending primarily on whether the files have been overwitten or not.
    Good luck,

  • How do I get to ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe to close it, so I can finish loading my new Photoshop Elem

    HELP!  I am trying to download Photoshop Elements 11, that I purchased via Adobe internet. It started to load, but in the final stages it asked for me to close ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe, dynamiclinkmanager.exe   I don't know where to go to do this. I have been trying for hours to do different things, but still can not figure out how to get to it.
    Would appreciate your help. I am not very computer literate, but I am trying to learn.

  • How do I get rid of the notice that I need to update, when Firefox then tells me I have the latest version when I click the link to get the update?

    This notice has been on the page under the Google box for the last few days. There is a link to click on to update. The next page says that I'm up to date but suggests downloading Android or offers a download of Firefox if I'd like one.

    Thanks for the help. It's undoubtedly my error in not saying I'm a Mac user up front. I got there & chose return to default. Turns out that's where I have been all along. It's the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. But it includes this silly notice that I don't have the latest version of Firefox! Seems to me there's a bug (or whatever, I'm not real techy) in the basic design of the Firefox home page. Maybe it hasn't been updated for users of Lion?

  • How do I get the top bar back that shows page description and the Firefox logo?

    The bar at the top of Firefox that appears on every program above the menu bar is gone.
    As in, the bit that normally displays the page title, and the firefox logo. It now looks indistinguishable from Chrome. I'm not in full screen mode.
    When I click and drag firefox to the top of my screen to snap it to my monitor size, the firefox logo and the title are shown for the instant until it snaps, but as soon as it snaps it's gone (and generically everywhere).
    I want to be able to see what browser I'm in at a glance, and see the title of the page I'm on. How can I resolve this?

    You can find the button to enable the window title bar at the bottom left of the customize window.

  • HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

    i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

    Hello rmunsey,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
    If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    Adding music and other content to iTunes

    Next, you can search for duplicates:
    Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2905
    This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

    I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8.  I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File.  I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
    However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear.  If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc.  Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black.  I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
    What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted.  This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
    So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks...

    If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
    But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

    "program access and defaults" is not the place to remove programs in Windows. You need to go to the control panel and click on Add and Remove programs. For instructions on how to uninstall Firefox, see [[Uninstalling Firefox]]

  • How do I get new SpamAssassin cf files?

    When spamtrainer runs, I get the following message:
    config: configuration file "//usr/share/spamassassin/20bodytests.cf" requires version 3.000001 of SpamAssassin, but this is code version 3.001005. Maybe you need to use the -C switch, or remove the old config files? Skipping this file at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf/Parser.pm line 344.
    How do I get the new cf files? I never updated SA manually, so all mail service related files should have been updated by SoftwareUpdate. Is it just that the newer version of SA doesn't look in the /usr/share/spamassassin directory anymore?

    Hi Alex,
    I went through my upgrade notes and found an entry back in 2004. I apparently ran the CPAN command for Mail::SpamAssassin on this server by mistake and SpamAssassin was overwritten with v.3.1.5. *spamassassin -V* confirmed it. I wonder why spamtrainer decided to tell me now all of a sudden.
    Anyway, I thought this would be a good time as any to update SpamAssassin... and because of the Perl modules, Amavis. Your notes on Topicdesk was a big help.
    One thing I don't like about the newest Amavis is that the start/stop/reload command is a hassle to type during the install and debug process (I made shortcut executables in ~/bin). I guess now that it's installed and working, I would never have to type those commands again.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I get a profile / .per file from a EPMA application this is for HFM

    I want to copy an EPMA application into another environment but outside of EPMA. I can get the metadata, Security and Rules Extracts. How do i get the .per periods file to set up the classic application.

    Hi Raul,
    Thanks for the help. What I was trying to do is extract one from an existing application. But I guess it is easy enopugh to set one up from scratch. I wasnt sure of the start period of the app that i wanted duplicated, but opening it in the classic app client, and dropping down on the year dimension gives us the info.
    Thanks for your help.
