On Going for Years: Windows 7 taskbar some times hidden with FF 7.0.1

I've noted that this problem has gone unanswered for years. Occasionally, passing my cursor to the bottom of the monitor screen fails to reveal W7's taskbar. If I restore FF down to a smaller screen size, then the taskbar will pop up when the cursor is passed to the bottom.
Because this is a random problem, it is very difficult to definitively determine just what causes it. But I'll say that it seems to happen when KeeFox is being manipulated in some manner. And, can be temporarily put straight by fooling around with restore/maximize...

For those of you who are interested in this problem, it appears that it is a Window's bug dating back to Vista and has yet to be fixed by MS. This problem has also been reported with IE and Chrome, but not Maxthon (been a long time user of the latter and never had this problem). The easiest workaround appears to be clicking the Windows button to recover the taskbar. You can read about this problem on these two urls:

    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Always show"Waiting for activation, it may take some time to"

    I just bought a iphone5,but it always show "Waiting for activation, it may take some time to",i just can use Wifi,don't know what happen

        Congrats on the new phone abochoa! Ann154 & gina7239 are right. The SIM activation can take a bit, and it's best to make sure the SIM was meant for the number you're activating. Here's a great site for help with the initial set up and activation of your new iPhone 5: http://bit.ly/Vl0NrS. If it takes more than an hour to activate, try powering the phone down and removing the SIM for a minute to refresh the phone's connection to the WiFi network and activation process.

What should I do? How to activate Ipad since there is no option to activate athough i have plugged it into itunes many times? I live and use my ipad in Indonesia. Any of you know the solution? Is it because i live in Indonesia and i use Indonesian itunes account? Thanks

    If you have the 3G version of the iPad and haven't purchased a 3G data plan, go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn cellular data off to stop the messages.

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • HT5219 When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hot-plug issue with a Thunderbolt device.

    When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hotplug issue with a Thunderbolt device.  I got a dock to easy my up-and-go time when moving from using my laptop on the desk vs in meetings.  Instead my computer crashes and I have to reboot.
    I am seeing this issue with the 2012 Macbook pro Retina running Bootcamp with Windows 8.1 x64 bit with the F4U055 Dock from Belkin

    I can confirm that hotplug does work properly on Windows 8.1 with Asus Thunderbolt ExII (Thunderbolt 2)
    But does not work with Windows 8.1 and MacBook Pro Retina (Thunderbolt 1)
    To get hot plug working with the Asus Thunderbolt ExII, you install the intel thunderbolt drivers, and then you get an interface where you can eject devices, and do things like setup more detailed security. However, this doesn't have any effect with the MacBook Pro. I suspect that either:
    1) Apple's Thunderbolt hardware doesn't support hotplugging on windows
    2) Hotplugging on Windows requires Thunderbolt 2
    So, I should check on my Mac Pro (dustbin edition) to see if it works there with Thunderbolt II
    Be great to hear if anybody has any success with this on an Apple device!

  • My E-mail takes for ever to load and some times freezes to open e-mail messages

    Ever since I changed to Firefox, it takes for ever to download my email. When I click to open e-mail messages, it freezes up and have to refresh or reload. Does not happen all the time but most frequently I am having a problem. All other features with Firefox are faster than Internet Explorer.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • How do I get DVD for the Windows 7 that should have come with my new laptop please

    This is my first message here so please bear with me. I have just bought a new Lenovo Essentials B570 laptop which has come with Windows 7 pre-installed. Previously I used to buy Dell laptops which used to come with OS Re-installation DVDs which check to see if they are being installed on the hardware it was bought for but would allow us to install the OS on a new hard disk if the original one crashed. Now Lenovo seems to be using a very complicated method to allow buyer's to re-install the OS - they are expected to retain the same hard disk - but what happens is the hard disk crashes and one wants to install the OS along with all the drivers? The Dell DVD allows me to do precisely that. Can I create a similar disk to install the OS on a new hard disk as and when I want/need it please? I have created two sets of DVDs using the OKR software - one set using the 'system presently on disk' and another set for 'resetting to factory defaults' - but from what I have read on these forums these OKR disks would not work if I put a completely new hard disk. So at least if I can get hold of the correct version of the Windows DVD - as I have paid for the license I would be very grateful. Thank you.
    Solved!

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    But to me this looks more like a OKR solution and I have already created these Factory Reset discs.
    Will these discs work if I have installed a completely new hard disk in the dive? Because that is what I would need to do in the rare event that I have a complete hard disk failure.
    What is confusing is the fact that on these forums, I find many messages which indicate that the OKR solution would work only with the original hard disk and it would not work with a completely new hard disk and also that the OKR itself would not be able to change partitions on the hard disk - even when it is the original hard disk. To me this means any disks that are created using the OKR would be useless when the original hard disk has undergone severe change or a completely new hard disk is in its place. Correct me if I am wrong. (In fact I am hoping that I am wrong in that assumption.)
    My laptop has a 750GB hard disk and it has Windows 7, 64bit. I actually want to make this into a dual boot machine with KUbuntu. What is stopping me attempting that is the fact that C drive has bigger partition and D drive is a smaller partition (too small in fact - 30GB these days is practically nothing) and I learn that any modifications I do to drive partitions would render the OKR non functional.
    I can live without this simplistic one key rescue operation if I have recourse to the Windows 7 DVD and that is why I asked the question.
