  • When I open a new window I get music, how do I stop this?

    Thank you :-)

    It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

  • ITunes crashes when doing a power search. I get a Microsoft Visual C   Runtime Library Error message: Program C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe R6025.  Pure virtual functional call.  If I select ok, Windows 7 pops up with iTunes has stopped working

    iTunes crashes when doing a power search. I get a Microsoft Visual C   Runtime Library Error message: Program C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe R6025.  Pure virtual functional call.  If I select ok, Windows 7 pops up with iTunes has stopped working and then it shuts iTunes down.  Anyone else every have this issue.  Any ideas on a fix?
    Thanks,

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • I have Norton 360 & I suddenly am getting popups on Mozilla, they are filthy adds for pornography sites. How can I stop this?

    I run norton 360 for my protection program & use your mozilla browser. Recently, I keep getting pop ups after I open the browser & I exit out of them, then I routinely clear history & tracking cookies, etc... I ran updated full scan, but keep getting these filthy pop up adds for pornography sites, which we DO NOT visit here. It is only me & my young daughter here & she has her own laptop & does NOT use the desktop. HOW do I stop this filth? Thank you very much!

  • Window opens behind another window with sound how do i stop this.

    When I open a window, another window will open behind it with sound. Mostly some add witch I then open that page and close. How do you stop this unwanted pages from opening?

    I assume we are talking about Safari?  If so goto Safari > Preferences > Security.  Make sure Block pop-up windows is checked.
    Also uncheck Enable Java.  I have had problems with pop-under windows and this has prevented them.  If you have a site that requires Java you can always re-enable it.

  • When I'm on microsoft word and typing and get to the  bottom of the page a new page doesn't just come up, i have to manually put it there so then when i go back and add stuff to the first page i loose whatever was at the bottom. how do i stop this?

    When I'm on microsoft word on my macbook air and get to the bottom a the page, a new page does not come up. i have to manually insert one. so then when i go back to edit my work and add something in what ever was at the bottom of the page disappears. how can i stop this from happening or change it so a new page opens by itself?

    It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

  • Front panel of a vi pops up when i start my top level vi how can i stop this

    i have a vi that whos front panel should display when the user clicks a front panel button(test instructions),
    however this vi pops up when i run the top level vi. I can manually close the vi, but how do i stop this?
    i tried modifying the Sub VI Set up properties, but that doesnt work.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi jknapp,
    As egraham has pointed out, you can customize the window appearance of your sub VI from the VI Properties.  If you go to File » VI Properties, then under Category select Window Appearance and then Customize..., you should be able to control how the sub VI appears.  Hope this helps!
