I google a topic, then select one. New tab reads something like "search.asp (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels), page is blank. Usually can enter web address to get webpage, not always. What does"GIF Image" message mean? How can I get the tabs to open normally?

Have Firefox 3.6.17 on Windows 7, although right now when I look under Help it says Downloading Firefox 3.6.17 and there's an "in progress" circle.

Thank you, jscher2000, for posting this answer to my question, and I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply.
Yes, it was my security software. I found out that .GIF files are very commonly used for internet graphics, particularly animations and ads. I use Kaspersky Internet Security. I had the anti-banner setting enabled, which stopped the display of .GIF files. I'd rather not see all the ads, but I've found I can very easily disable the anti-banner setting to view a particular page and then enable it again to avoid the ads when I read the news. There aren't that many pages that are entirely made up on .GIF files.
Again, thanks muchly!

    It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder.  You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again.  This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do.  The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/)  I have had to do this before and it works like a charm.  It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.

  • What does this error message mean: "Filename: Mips32.ari TFTP Error: 'File not found' in AP-105"?

    Question: What does this error message mean: "Filename: Mips32.ari TFTP Error: ‘File not found’ in AP-105"?
    Product and Software: This article applies to AP-105.
    The root cause of this error is that the AP cannot perform a code upgrade.
    Scenario 1
    Check the ArubaOS code.
    The minimum requirement to bring up an AP-105 is ArubaOS 3.3.3+ or ArubaOS 3.4.1+.
    If the controller is running pre 3.3.3 code, upgrade the code to fix the issue.
    Scenario 2
    If the AP is not connected to the controller directly, bring up the AP in the controller and then connect it to the desired location. This process loads mips32.ari to the AP so that the AP can upgrade the code.
    Scenario 3
    The AP has no power adapter and you want to use the PoE feature. A few controller series like the 200 and 3000 Series do not support PoE. In this case, the AP cannot be terminated physically in the controller. Instead, connect the AP to the PoE switch, which is connected to the controller. Then assign a static IP configuration for the AP using the following commands:
    apboot> setenv ipaddr <ip address>
    apboot> setenv netmask <netmask>
    apboot> setenv gatewayip <ip address of the gateway>
    apboot> setenv master <ip address of the master>
    apboot> setenv serverip <ip address of the TFTP server>
    apboot> setenv bootcmd tftp
    apboot> save
    apboot> boot
    Locally configure the TFTP server for the AP and load the mips32.ari file from the controller with the help of the TFTP application.

    I want to download this file Mips32.ari for AP-105 device. Please give me this file download link. APBoot 1.2.4.4 (build 26618)

  • What does this Bridge message mean?

    I have a new Mac (and Photoshop Elements 11) and when I open Bridge I get this message:
    OLSException in OLS Adapter Startup
    /OLS/development/main/bridge/3.2.0/build/mac/../../sdk/src/COLS.cpp#19 : 16
    Should I be worried?
    (I've tried using PSE Organizer and I hate it. I'd rather stick with Bridge unless I'm headed for trouble.)
    What does this Bridge message mean?

    Bridge came with an earlier version of PSE, PSE6 I think. The Organizer comes with PSE 9 and PSE11. Like some other PSE users, I much prefer Bridge to the Organizer. I had no trouble using Bridge with PSE9 and an older Mac. But with PSE11 and my new Mac, I started getting this message. I wonder if anyone knows what this message means, if it portends trouble for me, if there is anything I should do to correct it?
    I posted this question on the Elements Forum and was told that it should be addressed on the Bridge Forum.

    Often it suggests issues with device filters in your registry. But it's probably best to check the situation more closely.
