FFresFF crashing and restore session has been crashing without warning or notice for the past two weeks every other day, losing my restore session open windows

several times in the past 2 weeks, i come back to my computer to find FF has closed. there are no alerts or notices of a crash. when i use restore session, only 3 windows are listed as "recently closed", when I have 20 or so open. i believe there have been 2 updates in that period. i have to manually go through 'all history" to find my missing windows!

every time I have a problem with FF recently, someone suggests this. I try it and learn nothing.

Cannot log out of yahoo mail comletely with firefox for the past two week or so

Recently I have been unable to log out of yahoo mail completely with firefox. I get the following error message: "The connection has timed out. The server at us.lrd.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." I have more than one yahoo mail acct. and cannot log into a different acct until the first one is closed out completely. On the error message page there is "Try Again" button. This has occasionally helped but rarely.
I have tried opening FF in safe mode but this has not helped at all. I have used two other browsers to access my yahoo mail to see it the problem was with yahoo or FF. Both browsers repeatedly logged out of yahoo mail without a problem.

I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out. I never had any Yahoo mail problems in any of these three browsers until the latest version of Yahoo mail came out, and now I just close the browser to sign out -- it's faster, for me anyway.

In the past two weeks every time I select the Firefox icon I get a message: "Foreforx is in Offline mode". I click on "try again" and it always comes up. How do I avoid this message and go directly to online status?

Prior to a couple weeks ago when I clicked on the Fire Fox icon on my MacBook air it went directly to the Fire fox home page. Now when my computer has been off and I choose the Fire Fox icon, I get a message that Fire Fox is in "offline" mode. I then click the box "try again" it always comes up as usual. What can I do to get away from that "offline" message? I do not have the same problem with my desktop iMac.

Running Widows Vista system, every time I try to copy and paste from Firefox DEP shuts down Word Works

I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista. When ever I try to copy and paste from Mozilla Firefox, the DEP system shuts down
Microsoft Works Word Processor. I have tried turning off DEP for Works but it still shuts down the Program.

This is might because of your prior change in softwares. so first you have to do run '''sfc''' in run command. and then you see the specific problem which causes this . Since System File Checker (sfc) scan will make Windows replace corrupt or missing system files on your computer.
* Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
* Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
* In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:
sfc /scannow

Chkdsk run every time I startup Windows Vista under Bootcamp in 10.6

I have Windows Vista 32 bits installed on bootcamp partition and it work fine in 10.5.
Now I have upgrade my MBP (early 2008) to Snow Leopard, and upgrade WIndows Bootcamp drivers to version 3.0 from Snow Leopard DVD. Both installation were completed and run fine.
The problem I have now is: Whenever I used Mac OS, shut down, then restart the WIndows Vista by pressing Option key at Macbook Pro startup, Chkdsk will run evry time, checking integrity of the Windows boot partition. I have to wait for more than 20 minutes before Chkdsk fix all errors, then reboot, and press Options key to get back into WIndows Vista without Chkdsk running.
When I shut down Windows, and restart without goinb into Snow Leoprad, the boot process go OK without Chkdsk running.
But whenever I shut fown Winodws and use Snow Leopard, then get back in to startup Windows, Chdsk run again. This is very annoyingm, and never occured in 10.5
During Chkdsk session, the following errors occured and being fixed:
Deleting index entry ._501 in index $I30 of file 9028
Deleting index entry 501 in index $I30 of file 9028
and after all process finished, Chkdsk stated that: There is a blank space that allocated as used, and has been fixed.
Can any friend advise me what cause this problem? and How to correct it?
I understanfd that the ._501 is in .Trashes folder on Windows partiton. It must be altered wwhen I use Snow Leopard, and must have to do with Trash in Mac OSX 10.6.
Can any friend advise me how to solve this problem? Thank in advance

The problem is repeatable. The same index and file to be deleted by Chkdsk remain unchanged every time I boot Windows under bootcamp after using Mac OS. If I reboot Windows many many times without using Mac OS, the error never occur.
It must be Mac OSX Snow Leopard that is the culprit. Can any friend give me solution of how to solve this problem?
When I try booting Windows in Parallels the boot is OK

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems? I have over 400 GB,s free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems. I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256 GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop. You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor. If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade What is your system out of interest? I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough. Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system. Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114. Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes. iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
Kent

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

I have an Ipod Touch 5th Geneation and Windows Vista. Unfortunately, everytime I plug in my Ipod, it changes my monitors display (resolution and bit from a 32 down to an 8) How can I prevent this from happening everytime? I am unable to read my screen

I have an Ipod Touch 5th gen and I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium. Unfortunately, everytime I plug in my ipod, my screen resolution changes and i go down to an 8 bit from 32...on its own. I can I prevent this from happening every time I plug it in to my pc?

All I can suggest is:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

You can also try rolling back the driver for your video card.

You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.

Dynamic ARP inspection rate limit issues with Windows Vista Systems

Good Day to everybody.
I had implemented DHCP Snooping & Dynamic ARP inspection feature to mitigate ARP spoofing attacks to one of customer location where we have mix of Windows vista & XP systems. By default DAI feature rate limit ARP packets on un-trusted ports to 15 Packets per second. With this value I was facing some issue to access file shares where port will go in error-disabled state due to ARP broadcast from system was crossing 15 PPS limit of DAI. For the same, I had increased the DAI limit to 64 & after that we had not facing this problem from windows XP systems, but windows vista systems are still giving problem. Also this probem is very random in nature & not all the windows Vista system will face same issue even though they are accessing same file share & are configured with same DAI rate limit.
That's why I am not able to figure out baseline values for DAI rate limits. I had already search microsoft documentation for limiting this ARP broadcast from Windows Vista system, but no luck.
Is there any way to find out correct settings for this DAI packet rate limiting in Windows Vista enviorement ?

Hello bensyseng,
check out this thread.
As topmahof said already it could correlate with a wrong Intel driver.
