Impossible to use FF 19.02 under Windows 7/32

I give up.
Step one (this happens under Windows 7/32)
FF offered to upgrade from 15.01 to 19.0. I let it, it could not complete (patch failed). So I downloaded it and installed it (upgraded). All nice - but impossible to use the browser, or the google search. One types the address or the query and nothing happens. So I reverted to a previous version of windows and all was well.
Step two.
I install on a different machine, Windows 7/64. All works, but I have a hell of a time moving the settings. After an hour or more, all is well. So I decide that 19.02 will work on the 32 bit machine as well...
Step three.
I upgrade FF to 19.02 from the 15.01. All works, I am happy. I do some other things, stopping FF in between. The next time I start it, no go. Impossible to go to a website or to search. Hmmm, I think...
Step four.
Uninstall FF. Wash the disk so there are no remnants. Download and install FF 19.02 using IE. It does not work!
So: does anyone have an idea why? Here are some more weird things:
- on the first try (step one), all worked perfectly well outside the FF home page. I could click on links to get to website, I could type new addresses to the bar and go to new websites, I could click on my google link and search. But NOT from the home page.
- I tried to look at settings. Played with proxies (no proxy being my choice, but I also try aytomatic detection). Nothing. So I clicked on help - and that is how I got here and can write this,
And no, resetting won't help, there is nothing to reset!
Thanks for reading and perhaps helping.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Download and save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the latest Firefox 19.0.x release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

It is impossible to use 10.4, Safari and Windows Media Player

it is impossible to use safari to access a site with streaming video without having your mac freeze, i found the only combo i use to freeze everytime, first i install windows media 9, then i go to myspace.com using the safari browser, then i acess a page of someone who has a streaming video file such as a music file, then my safari locks up and freezes. This happens every, single, time. I know its not a fluke and i know i didnt do anything wrong and i enjoy myspace so there is no way that i can have media player and it ****** me off so i want to know if there are any alternatives or if my mac is just a piece of crap and messed up. without the media player i have to deal with a pop up everytime i access someones page telling me to download media player even though it doesnt work so thats kinda hilarious. k someone help me out

I know nothing about all this stuff but for kicks I went to the site you said and when I play a normal music file it works fine in safari. It does load slowley. When I tried to view a music video it says you have to have "windows media 9" and you must use "internet explorer". Have you tried using your internet explorer in your applications folder instead of safari? I still could not get the videos to work but I have had this problem befor. Sometimes if you keep messing with the settings in the network tab of the media player it eventually works. But the site itself looks like they have a little ways to go and just might not be ready for mac yet. If you don't get this fixed I can try the site on my pc at work tomorrow and see if that works, unless you have already tried this. But bottom line with safari is its not compatable. At least what their site states.

Providing users the ability to Merge using a DAT file under Windows 7

Hello,
Our organization uses older software that uses Word Templates with Merge Fields, pulling data out of a SQL database. The software itself is old and out of date, but still works under Windows 7. The problem I am having is that the software will
place its own macros inside of Normal.dot to properly merge fields using the Word Templates.
Each Merge document accesses the application folder and goes into a sub-folder to access a file called WORDDATA.DAT that is the data source for the merge. Each workstation has their own WORDDATA.DAT file stored locally in C:\APPLICATION\temp\
In XP (we never used Vista), the proper way to get these merges to work was to do the following:
1. Provide Power Users (see below) with Modify rights to the main APPLICATION folder and propagate those rights down to all files underneath of it (including WORDDATA.DAT). We also had to remove inheritable permissions from the root drive (C).
2. Add Domain Users to Power Users group (for some reason the merges on XP would not work without this) so that anyone logging onto the machine could merge.
3. These templates required the Low security setting for macros in Word for the merge to work properly.
The problem I am facing now is that I cannot get the merges to work properly under Windows 7 Pro without giving the user Administrator rights on the local machine. This is obviously not a good idea. No matter what I try, nothing seems to work.
I've disabled UAC on these machines. Given Full Control rights to the application folder and all sub-folders and have even gone so far as to make the user the Owner of the application folder. But no matter what I do, the merge will not work unless
the user is added to the local Administrators group. I've also noticed strange behavior with WORDDATA.DAT, where it will not relinquish the Read-Only attribute. After running 'attrib' and stripping it of Read-Only and System attributes, the file
reverts to showing Read-Only in the properties. I don't know if this matters or not, but it appears as if Windows will not let anyone modify that file completely.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a workaround? Keep in mind, 1. Disabled UAC, 2. Running the application under Compatibility Mode for XP.
I realize we are using outdated software and this can cause some issues of course, but the basic principle of merging documents works. It has nothing to do with the application itself IMO but seems to be more of a security issue.

I guess I'm completely out of luck on this issue huh? The basics of the problem are simply that unless the user is added to Administrator local group on the Win7 machine, when the merge runs and has to use WORDDATA.DAT, it cannot and the merge fails.
Add the user as an admin and it works but this leaves our systems vulnerable, particularly with users who are happy to just double-click on any old attachment without checking it first.

Mac doesn't boot after splitting BOOTCAMP drive under Windows 8.1

Macbook pro mid 2012, OS X Mavericks
I've installed Windows 8.1 x64 using Bootcamp assistant. In Windows I went to Disk Management and shrank drive C: from 200 GB to 94 GB and created a new drive D: from unallocated space.
After restart Windows doesn't boot giving some error and quickly restart. If I hold "Option" key I see only Windows. Mac OS X disappeared.
How to fix?

So, I've tried 1001 ways to recover. Nothing worked. Interned Recovery gives -2002F error. Macbook pro 2012 can't boot from bootable DVD to use DiskWarrior, Drive Genius or similar. It can't boot from OS X Lion install DVD. I had only Windows PC to fix this. So
I asked a friend with latest Mavericks(which I had too) to make a Recovery USB and make a DMG file from it and send me over internet. Then I used the TransMac application under Windows and burned DMG on my USB stick. My god it worked. After 2 days of struggle I found this solution. I was able to boot from this USB stick into Recovery Mode and from there I can reinstall Mac Os X Mavericks. Somehow it sees my Ethernet cable and doesn't give error.
Note: that Disk Utility wasn't able to recover partitions. I tried to run DiskWarrior from terminal but it gave me an error. TestDisk didn't run too. So I'm doing a clean installation.
I could recover or backup my files using Paragon Mac Recovery Bootable DVD, but there was no need since it's my new macbook and I didn't have much files there.
Windows had changed the HD partition map from GUID Partition Table(GPD) to MBR. And made HD a "dynamic disk". This is why Mac Os wasn't able to boot.
If anyone knows how to convert a disk back to GPD and make Mac OS able to boot please let me know. I'm still installing Mac Os X on USB stick and didn't change my HD.

Acrobat reader X with thunderbird under windows 2008 server

Hi,
i use acrobat reader X under windows 2008 R2 . My Mailclient is thunderbird.
I get an error when trying to send an E-Mail. "Acrobat could not get a connection to your e-mail programm".
I defined thunderbrid as the standard mailprogramm under START->CONTROLPANEL->STANDARD-PROGRAMMS
I already tried to google the solution, but the only one i found was for Windows VISTA and Windows 7. There, you have not only to define the STANDARDPROGRAMM, you either need to make a change on "default programms and computerstandards" which is missing in windows 2008 R2
Can anyone please tell me how to use acrobat with thunderbrid in a windows 2008 environment????
Thank you

Hi Michael,
sorry for using the wrong forum. I'll post my question to the Reader board ...
To answer your question. That was my idea too, but it is not possible to copy a whole profile. They are a lot of other problems if you do that. I didn't find the settings only. may it would be enough to copy the settings for the reader.
Best Regards,
Markus

21.5" iMac brightness problem under Windows 7

Even at lowest possible brightness under Windows 7,
this is much too bright for working in the evening/night.
I was using VistaShades under Vista, but now under Windows 7
VistaShades only darkens the background!
Does anyone know another program for reducing the brightness
which is Windows 7 compatible?
Thanks!
(BTW: I have the same problem using my 24" iMac under Windows 7
see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2358779&tstart=0)

I has the same problem so i called a friend and all he did was go to navida's web site and download the beta drivers for gforce go 7600. make sure it is for windows 7. the ones on HP's website does not work and you can not use auto detect drivers when finding the driver.

How to run Magic Mouse under windows 8

now windows does not recognizes the mouse.
any ideas?

Hi,
As mentioned in the link posted by Steve, you can check the setting of Data Execution Prevention.
And according to the following blog, some hardware features that Hyper-V does not utilize and enabling them will prevent Hyper-V from loading. (If your BIOS doesn't have this hardware feature, then igonre this part)

Very slow performance of LabVIEW 6.1 under Windows XP

I am using LabVIEW 6.1 under Windows XP. I found that sometimes it takes a long time for the operating system to load LabVIEW. Does anybody have the same experience?

I have the same configuration on a PC and a laptop and I haven't had any problems. I also have >256MB RAM on both machines.
My guess is that you have more than the LabVIEW recommended 64MB RAM on your machine but RAM is really the only thing that comes to mind for me. If you have a bunch of other applications running then it could take a while for LabVIEW to load to memory.
Just a thought.

Problems with serial visa under windows XP

I used VISA to control serial (RS232) instruments under windows 2000 and it was working well.
Now I want to use the same program under Windows XP and I can't even open a VISA session, or use VISA Write. I get an error : the resource is available but VISA can't reach it.
What could be the problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help

Someone else is probably openening that COM port already. Possible
culprits: Configured Modems, UPS drivers, even Printer drivers although
serial printers are seldom nowadays. You will have to search your
Windows configuration for possible other applications reserving that
port for themself.

SPARCT1 Implementation Guide under Windows Platform

Hi,
Just wondering if there is some guide documents about Design and Implementation (just like DVGuide.pdf) but for Windows? I have no experience in Linux. The last thing I did was typing "source ...OpenSPARCT1.1.7.cshrc" but looks like the source command itself does not exist. then I just copied all scripts e.g. rxil, sims, etc to /bin directory of the OS. I tried it under Solaris 10. So now I just try using ISE and EDK under Windows and see if it works. But some guide would be great if any.
Thank you. I appreciate your help.

Hello
Thank you for your answer which is interesting because it is a disk of 2 TB... If I create a partition do you think it can solve my problem? I prefer this old version of Photoshop, very practical to use...

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution?

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution? Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

Using scripting with networking equipment under Windows

It can be a challenge to use scripting to automate working with Cisco devices. The Cisco IOS does not seem to directly provide a command line interface. You are forced to find a way to automate interaction with a telnet or ssh session.
The PERL language provides a number of object-oriented methods to help manage an interactive session, most notably Net::SSH::Expect and Net::Appliance::Session. These options can work well in a Unix environment, but not under MS Windows.
There are PERL for Windows options, the best probably being Strawberry PERL. There is also a Unix under Windows option known as CYGWIN that is freely available. Unfortunately none of these will work well with the way Windows manages low-level terminal I/O. The curious can google "windows pseudo terminal" to see all the technical details.
One way that does work under Windows is Tcl. It was initially named Tool Command Language. It is sometimes shown as Tcl/Tk.
Interestingly enough, Tcl is included within Cisco IOS as tclsh. There is no interaction with the tclsh and this example. It is just a bit of a curious coincidence.
A Tcl port to Windows can be downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads. Select Download ActiveTCL for Windows. A direct link to the download that worked at the time of writing is Download ActiveTcl 8.5.14 for Windows (x86)
Once base Tcl has been downloaded and installed there is one other component that will need to be installed from the Tcl Extension Archive, the expect package.
The teacup program that is installed with the base Tcl package makes this easy. The teacup program will work with a proxy.
You can set these Windows environment variables to specify proxy details:
set http_proxy=
set http_proxy_user=
set http_proxy_pass=
Then run teacup install expect
The plink tool from the PuTTY download is also needed. It can be obtained from http://www.putty.org/.
The sample that follows assumes that the data files, script and plink.exe executable all reside in the same directory.
A sample Tcl script follows that reads a file of devices and a file of commands. It will run the list of commands against each device in the device file. It has some basic error checking, but should best be considered a ‘beta’ version. You could do more complex interactions in the Tcl script by adding exp_send and expect command statements. In short, if you can type it you could script it!
Change directory to where your script, plink.exe and data is stored and run with tclsh <script_name>
devices.list
# Comment lines are allowed if they start with a hash mark
# <IP_Addr> <userid> <password> <ssh|telnet> <timeout_in_secs>

Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

Hello,
Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
Their are no apparent viruses detected.
Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
System is Windows 7 (64bit).

well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
is all the rest of the disk space)
what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps
