I have to reinstall hp 802.11 abg wireless lan each time i shut down,

each time i shut down my touchsmart iq790uk, on restarting i have to reinstall the lan driver, after which it works ok, is there a cure?

No. I, myself, made the mistake of assuming Discoverable meant the mouse, or whatever Bluetooth device you have paired, is discoverable and, therefore, needed so the computer can find it. That's not what it means. It means the computer is discoverable by other devices. And, other devices would include someone else nearby attempting to hack in by way of Bluetooth. I suppose if you live on a farm in Utah with the nearest neighbor fifty miles away, it's a moot point.
I just realized what discoverable means because someone's SMART Phone in a nearby apartment yesterday was attempting to pair with my computer, I think quite by accident. I got a message to that effect and denied. It may also have meant that they left their phone, unwittingly, on Discoverable. In any case, Discoverable should be disabled
On further research, I found that it's also advisable in Bluetooth Prefernces> Advanced to leave "Blutooth-PDA-Sync Modem" in "Serial ports that devices use to connect to this computer" unchecked (the default is checked, so uncheck it) and "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices" unchecked, as well.
"Open BT Setup Assistant at startup".... "Allow BT device to wake" and "Prompt for all incoming audio requests" should all be checked.
If your mouse is paired and made a Favorite, you should not drop the connection. Mine is now set up as above and I'm not having any issues staying connected.
Perhaps leaving "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant...."  checked, the default, presents a security risk. For the time being, I'm leaving it checked.

  • Running Firefox 4.1 on Windows XP Pro. The issue I'm having is that each time I shut down Firefox, I get an "Quicktime failed to initialize - Error #0", often multiple times. I have upgraded recently and my daughter loaded itunes (since removed).

    This happens at least twice each time I close Firefox. I have done web searches and seen this issue posted, but found no solution.

    The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

    Eustace, thank you so much for writing back.  I will try what you suggested!!
    thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport).  I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault.  apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
    Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead.  I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
    anyway - that's THAT sad story.  I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed. 
    I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever.  I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

    My home wireless is no longer recognized, even going through the set-up process.  It does not connect to the car through Bluetooth seamlessly--I have to add my phone as a new device each time I get in the car.  In attempting to solve these problems I have gone to settings-phone-upgrade and it states that the upgrade is available-select to continue-(which I do)- it checks -please wait and it then states that update not available - try later.

    Maybe not too late to help you.
    For specifically fixing the Bluetooth, un-pair your phone with the car, and go through the process of repairing the two.
    In general, the KK update requires many of us (different phones) to perform a Factory Data Reset after we back up our personal content (pictures, music, movies, or other downloaded files) to a PC or MAC. This will result in you having to do a bit of work to setup icons for the programs you use, and maybe putting in the specifics again for email accounts and other specialized apps. So if you are going to do this sort of thing... copy important information/settings down on paper.

  • I have downloaded photoshop elements 12 on mac. But the program keeps shutting down and i have to restart it the whole time.

    I have tried deleting the program and reinstalling it but it is not working.  It is really annoying since I use it for my photography business.  I can not work in a program that keeps shutting down. 

    You must always, always use the uninstaller in the PSE 12 folder in applications. Unfortunately, you broke some stuff by moving the program that way, so now I'm afraid you have a bit more work to do. First, download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    That will not actually remove anything, but it frees things up so you can go around and manually remove stuff. After running it, you will need to scurry around your hard drive and trash all the bits you can find. Start in your username>library>preferences. To see that library, option click Go menu in the finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. look especially for files beginning com.adobe.whatever. While you're in that library go to the saved application states folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
    Next you need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>library>application support>adobe and delete all the PSE stuff in there. That library isn't exactly hidden, like the user library, but it's hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Hard Disks under Show these items in sidebar. Then the next time you open a finder window your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want for this will appear in the top level of results.
    Finally, after reinstalling PSE, be sure to immediately go to editor>help>updates and update to 12.1, then repair permissions.

  • Have to connect my wireless mouse each time

    Hi,
    I happen to be one of those people who shuts down my iMac at the end of each day of work. When I arrive the next morning and turn it on, it always says it cannot find a mouse to connect to.
    (I'm using Snow Leopard and a mouse that's probably more than a year. Also use a wireless keyboard which always connects automatically.)
    Even though my mouse is switched on, I always have to shut it off and turn it back on. Then my iMac finds it and connects to it.
    I have tried clicking the mouse to make the green light come on (I'm guessing that's what "make it discoverable" means--activate it in some way??)
    So is there any way to remedy this? It's getting really tiresome. Thinking of going back to the wired mouse.
    (I actually had this same problem when I first starting using the wireless mouse and stopped using it because I didn't want the hassle.)
    Thanks for your help!

    No. I, myself, made the mistake of assuming Discoverable meant the mouse, or whatever Bluetooth device you have paired, is discoverable and, therefore, needed so the computer can find it.
