Shortcut icon replaced by windows file icon after installing 3.6.12 version

using W7. After installing version 3.6.12 and changing the persona i noticed that the mozilla icon on the task bar was replaced by a windows file icon.

You can try to reset the Windows icon cache.
* Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
* In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
* Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
* Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
* Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
* After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
* It is possible that the file IconCache.db is a hidden file and in that case you need to enable viewing hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing the above mentioned steps.

  • It's very slow to access file server after installed SP1 of Win7.

    I found it's become very slow to access shared files on file server after installed win7 SP1, (windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe),  access same file, the win7 without sp1 is fast in 5 secs, but the pc with sp1 need more than 30 secs. And
    I tried to removed the sp1, everything goes fine, access fast as others.
    I don't understand what's the reason and which feature affected it, I believe the sp1 can help Win7 be more safety, but why the performance on it get worse.
    And I didn't find the same question or tips on forum or website, do you really haven't the issue?

  • Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2

    Hi
    I cannot install my Audigy 2 soundcard with Windows 7.
    It is a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on a new HDD. However, after installation and driver file updates after I reboot, Windows 7 just freezes.
    ?I have tried different drivers but the same problem arises. I have tried to load? SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00 as well as SBAX_PCDRVBETA2 US_2_8_00, along with the automatic updates Windows 7. Any help to rectify this situation would be?greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks?

    Re: Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2?
    Thanks for your response Freddie. I just do not know how people can expect companies to keep upgrading and writing software for hardware that is YEARS old. Years old.......People (not you) clamor for Windows 7 drivers for devices made for XP, and my god, that operating system came out a long long time ago. Moving on is not just an alternati've, it is a necessity. I would never be using a Gravis sound card from 995 7 or 8 (which sounded really good back then) on Windows 7 and be frustrated as to why Gravis does not have a full suite of Windows 7 drivers. It would be nice, but it is not feasible or reasonable to expect. Creative would literally spend all of their profits writing drivers and applications for stuff that is no longer sold or worth supporting. Microsoft has even changed the sound model of Windows from scratch which means drivers have to be rewritten from the ground up, not just "slightly modified".
    I bought an HP scanner for Windows 98. Great scanner. Loved it. Windows Millenium came out, and that scanner never never worked. Not their fault really, the box it came in said, "Made for Windows 98, 98SE" not "just might be compatible for Windows ME, and whatever else Microsoft may invent."? Well what happened? HP wrote drivers and applications for that scanner for Windows ME and 2000, and that disc cost me $40........Seriously? Yes. Did I buy it? Yes.... I am astonished they are writing drivers for the Audigy's now. But I do hope you find a Windows 7 sound card, and if so, I am curious if you like it. I use my X-Fi Titanium for ) games and 2) movies. and 3) music. It works well, but I had to research which boards it works with.
    Currently Asus is quite the competitor these days, and I see they have Windows 7 drivers out. A few months ago, those drivers wreaked havoc and a lot of people's systems.

  • Missing file system after installing in SSD

    Missing file system after installing in SSD MacBook
    Hi All
    I recently installed a SSD drive in my Macbook, I used the Disk Utility to clone the old HDD.
    When i reboot the machine with the new disk I get the image of a folder with question mark.
    If i reboot the machine again and hold the alt key at the chime I can see two disks.
    One called SSD and another called Recovery.
    if i choose the SSD the OS starts as normal and if i choose the recovery option and check the disk with disk utility
    it tells me that everything is fine.
    Any ideas how i can make the machine boot as it should without having to hold down the alt key a start up??

    Hi i tried this and just got the big symbol of doom at start up.
    However, a little terminal witchcraft did the trick!
    sudo bless -mount /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" -setBoot

  • After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • In windows how do we install and activite multiple versions of tuxedo at the same time ?

    Hi All,
    In windows how do we install and activate multiple versions of tuxedo at the same time ?
    Advance wishes

    You can run different versions of Tuxedo on the same server, as long as they are installed in different directories.
    See PeopleTools 8.53 installation manual Task 3-1: Installing Oracle Tuxedo
    You can install Oracle Tuxedo once for each release on a machine, regardless of the number of PeopleSoft
    applications or databases the server supports. For example, if you are a PeopleSoft 9.1 customer and have
    Oracle Tuxedo 6.5 installed, you may install Oracle Tuxedo 6.5 and Oracle Tuxedo 11gR1 on the same
    machine in separate directories. For example:
    On Windows, you may install into C:\oracle\tuxedo11gR1_VS2010 and C:\tux65.
    On UNIX, you may install into /home/oracle/tuxedo11gR1 and /prod/tuxedo/6.5.

  • Reversing jack-in-the-box icons that replace old excel file icons

    Today I noticed that Excel file icons on my desktop have been replaced with a jack-in-the-box icon. It looks like this:
      This seems to happen only to Excel files last modified prior to 1993 (although I have not checked all files to determine if this is always true). In the information panel (command-I) for the file, under "open with" it shows "microsoft excel (110725)" but with a "do-not-enter" symbol superposed. On the "open with:" pull down menu (still in the information panel) it also lists "microsoft excel 14.3.4" two times, along with "print preview" as possible choices.
    If I double click on the file, it opens normally (I looked long and hard to see if this symptom resembled any viruses before doing that). But it does not change the icon back to normal unless I resave it as an xlsx document. If on the information panel, I change the "open with" choice to microsoft excel 14.3.4 and add the .xls extension to the file name (still in the info panel), the icon changes to the normal Excel icon. It does not change the icon on the desktop unless I do both. Occasionally, it will change the icon on the information panel, but not change the icon on the desktop.
    In searching through the archives I found a discussion that suggests this icon is residual from the ResEdit program. I have no idea if that is relevant to my case (in the archive, it had to do with icons for Word documents).
    I would appreciate thoughts on why this may have suddenly occurred, and if there is a way to reverse it, short of going through each of hundreds of Excel files, opening the Information panel, and manually making the change.
    I did not recently update my OS or upgrade Office. I am running OS X v. 10.8.3 on a 17 inch MacBook Pro with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7. The Excel version is 14.3.4 (130416). I have Sophos Anti-virus software running.
    Thank you.

    I am no help other than to say it happened to me as well, not on Excel files, but on 3 folders I had with custom icons. (from a Calvin and Hobbes collection). I have not idea where they came from, and oddly when I go back in time machine to versions of the folders that are a year old they have also been replaced with this icon.
    I believe it defies explanation. But I am so glad it has happened to someone else. There is no discernable change other than the odd icon.

  • Replace grouped window task icon from java coffee cup with customised icon

    I have an application that a child JFrame instance can be triggered from the main JFrame instance. In that case, these JFrames are collapsed under one group icon on my task bar in windows, which is the java coffee cup icon with tooltip of Java(TM) Platform. When i expand the list, each individual JFrame still has the right personised icon. Can anyone suggest how do I customised the group icon to be my own icon and have personised tooltip? Thanks in advance.

  • Excel 2010 SP2 opens files slowly after installing SP2

    After installing SP2 Excel is opening files very slowly. Files can be on network share or locally, no matter. If Excel is already open, then the file opens fast as it has opened before. OS is Windows 7 64-bit, and Office Professional Plus is 32-bit. Ecxel
    itself opens fast, but is slow when I double click file. Slow is about 12 seconds and fast is about 1 second with a 31 KB file from network. Network itself seems to be OK, anf Word files open fast.

    From your description, I understand that you open EXCEL 2010 SP2 32-bit slowly in Windows 7 64bit.
    Try to start Excel in safe mode. Then, open the Excel file.
    Start the Excel program in safe mode
    1.       Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
    2.        Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Microsoft Excel.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable them.
    Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
    Disable add-ins
    Click File menu, click Options >  Add-in, click Go button in the Manage: Com-in Add.
    Check if there are any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
    Close the Office program and restart it.
    Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience.  If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
    Is the performance also slow when you trying to open?
    At this time, we can also try to test this issue in the clean boot mode.
    Test in Clean boot Mode
    ===============
    Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
    1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
               Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
    2.        Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
    3.       Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
    Then, restart computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
    Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This should not affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.

  • ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 127) after installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows

    After installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows (latest build), I get an error pop-up saying:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I've gone thru the uninstall, reboot and reinstall process three or four times now. Still nothing.
    Furthermore, after clicking okay to the error, it continues to pop up on it's own every 45 seconds or so.
    There was one other error I came across after trying to launch iTunes after installation.
    See both error messages here:
    http://screencast.com/t/DSg4PpKF5BeX

    Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
    I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
    But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
    It should have been added to their page at 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    by now, why hasn't it???
    It's not good enough!

    AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted.  So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
    Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above.  NO REBOOT
    Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe

  • Gtk-window-decorator missing after installing Compiz-Fusion

    I just installed ArchLinux and wanted to try out Compiz-Fusion in Gnome. I installed it using the Compiz-Fusion wiki's instructions. Everything works fine, except that I can't use the gtk-window-decorator. After some research I found out that this file is missing. I checked out the Compiz-Fusion site, and it seems it ought to come with Compiz-Fusion. I checked in Linux Mint and found it there, so obviously it's missing in my ArchLinux box.
    Can someone please veryfy if it should be part of the Compiz-Fusion packages?

    Oups! I searched for 'gtk-window-decorator'.  It could be nice to mention these separate packages on the wiki Compiz-Fusion page. There are probably many out there looking for them.
    Thanks!

    One complete family file of photo's is missing after installing iPhoto 11. Installation went smoothly, and all other files complete. Have checked thru entire photo lists, including photo list at the top. Found two photo's in that should have been in that photo list that were downloaded 2 months prior to installing iPhoto 11. I keep files of each family branch on left side iPhoto window. Only the one file is missing. ????

    I meant folder. Have 6 kids, and to keep track of each family quickly, I set up folders on left side of iPhoto. All others are there.
