User preferences will not save on windows xp. clean install will not work.

User options will not save. I have followed all the instructions to do a clean install which included removing the old firefox files and user profiles. I am using Windows xp SP3. The only thing I have not edited is the registry information for firefox. I can not get the options to save correctly. Please help.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
Is there a prefs.js file created with the correct date/time stamp?

Try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • Playback preferences are not working with 10.5. solution?

    I downloaded iTunes 10.5 and my playback preferences are not working. For example, crossfade is screwy. Sometimes it will fade out at the end of a song, but the next song will not come in until the end, or the next song will come in WAY too early. Sound enhancement is also doing nothing. These all worked fine before the update. Has anyone else encountered this?

    I too am having problems with crossfade since installing iTunes 10.5 where mostly it is just fading the end of the song.. when set to a 6 second crossfade it is just fading the last 20 seconds and still waiting till the song ends before starting the new song & i've also noted that sometimes a new song will begin when there is in excess of 20 seconds left of the previous song remianing.. hence, it sounds rediculous. i've tried uninstalling & re-installing but no fix. please help anyone..

  • Systems preferences does not work

    My Systems Preferences does not work, either reminders and messages... since Mavericks(10.9) Programs do not respond and Macbook air is not responding....  Help.....

    Well, you are certainly correct that the fact that the "wired" machines work sure doesn't rule out a faulty router....But that's why (as part of a process of elimination troubleshooting scheme) I hooked up my old Linksys Router, and got the same results. Now...What are the odds of 2 separate routers acting the same way? Especially when both worked fine on my TIPB and even on my MBP until a few months ago. Plus, my 12 year old son can pull a wireless signal from the router on his console games (xbox360, Wii, PS3) with no problem
    Believe me, my first thought was to go out and buy another router, but when I swapped routers and got the same problem, I began to look elsewhere, eventually coming here for help and knowledge.
    I did the SMC reset to no avail. I'm not sure about the stuff in System Configuration....By "pull" do you mean to delete all the files in this folder? Move them to a temporary folder? Should I just deal with the folders that have "IP" in the "bundle" file name?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need

    Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
    I previously had a problem with my Laptop dying randomly you can read about it in the thread entitled Computer dies Randomly (Battery also dead) click to view
    Before I realised the solutions, I thought that maybe my Laptop had become infected with a Virus and decided it would be prudent to do a clean install of the Windows XP operating system.
    Everything went perfectly and thought a clean install was a good opportunity to download the “XP Service Pack 3” SP3 and did so, it seemed very quiet though and that’s when I realised I had no sound…
    I downloaded all of the sound drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for 3000 N100 (I knew from previous experience that the “SOUNDMAX” driver is the only one that actually works with this 3000 N100) in order to install this you have to install the Realtek HD audio driver, but in order to install that you have to install some other Driver/Soft that only works with SP1 or SP2 if you try to install it with SP3 it will say that you don’t need the file as your Service pack is newer than the file you want to install, this is understandable as SP3 is not final as of yet (but it’s good to know).
    My next problem was that my extra RAM was not detected, this was fixed by updating the BIOS, after installing all of the System updates, PC Doctor, everything I could find for 3000 N100 I decided to rest, I pushed the Lenovo care button and it did not work, I found a hot key driver and installed it but still the Lenovo care button does not work, previously when I pushed this button it would bring up the Lenovo menu but now it’s just a dead button, Does anyone know how to get this button working again?
    I am pretty sure that everything else is working fine now, just that button not working is very annoying, is there a set routing of installs you must do to get everything working, i.e. bios 1st audio 2nd system update 3rd etc...
    Please help, I hope I have helped you...

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok first everything works now... except the Lenovo Care button, I just posted the other stuff cause it might help other members,  I have searched the forum for an anwser to this problem but there was only one anwser (suggesting to uninstall the driver restart and re-install it) and it did not result in a working Lenovo Care button...
    I don't beleive the Lenovo keyboad drivers are in any way related to the Service pack 3 as they do not use the Service pack files, to back this up I also had the same problem when Service Pack 2 was installed...
    The Lenovo Care button works fine on Boot up screen to access the rescue and recovery software (So the mechanics of the button are fine) but once Windows XP loads it is just a dead button, I remember it used to open up the Lenovo Care Start bar, I got it working once in the past but I can't remember what I did, I thought someone here might know the anwser...

    UPDATE 4 SOLUTION:
    Somehow everything started to work on its own, maybe there was some kind of download on the background of windows, and before formating to windows 8 back, I decided to restart windows few times, and everything got fixed.
    Thats my strange solution.

    Somehow everything started to work on its own, maybe there was some kind of download on the background of windows, and before formating to windows 8 back, I decided to restart windows few times, and everything got fixed.
    Thats my strange solution..... At least its working
    So I suggest you to do every possible update on windows and 10 do few restarts, there are some background updates that we can't track probably, so let them settle and restart pc.

  • Where will the user preferences will be saved.?

    hi.
    our obiee application is integrated with siebel.
    users will be signing in thru siebel and accessing the dashboards.
    my doubt is,
    the users preferences in "settings > my account" have to be saved somewhere.
    where it is getting saved.?
    is it in database which LDAP uses for SSO.?
    or is it in somewhere in the files.?

    Thanks Michael.

  • User preference selection not responding

    Hi- this is seemingly very simple.
    I like to have my last project open upon application launch so I check the box in the general tab of user preference (open last project on application launch) Simple enough right? I consistently get a new untitled project when I launch FCP.
    I must have something switched on or off, checked or not checked etc.... that is overriding this selection.
    Any ideas I'm stumped. Thank you in advance

    First, trash your preferences and repair permissions.
    Maybe there's something weird in where you're saving the project.

  • System preferences is not working

    The system preferences of my macbook Pro is not working. As soon as I launch the programm, this is all I see.
    Is sombody able to help me? What I'v already tried to do is to reinstall O.S. Lion.

    Reinstalling OS X Lion won't work for something like this is because it's located in the Users folder.
    Your System Preferences preference file has become corrupted and unable to save your changes.
    Use the Finder Go menu and open the hidden folder
    /Library/Preferences
    and look for a file called
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    there wil be two of them, one you can move, move it to the Desktop and reboot, launch System Preferences and reset your preferences, delete the desktop file.

  • Microphone not working since Windows 7 clean install: Satellite P505-S8980

    Ever since I reinstalled Windows 7 on my Satellite P505-S8980 laptop the microphone with the webcam has not worked.  Has anyone else experienced this and resolved it?  I am unable to chat with friends and family through Google hangouts, which is a little disappointing.
    I've unsinstalled and reinstalled the drivers, checked all settings, tried to find updated drivers, etc., but with no luck.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Possibly helpful info:
    Model P505-S8980
    No modifications to hardware (original hard drive, etc.)
    Running Windows 7 64 bit.  Clean install, NOT from Toshiba restore disk or similar utility.

    Satellite P505-S8980
    The order of installing drivers is problematic. Best to restore the hard disk to the original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
    If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
    For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

  • Two-side View as Preference does not work

    Two Side View ist set as Preference (Edit-Preferences-Page Display - Page Layout- Two-up) but does not work when opening a File. Has to be set manually every time (View-Page Display) - any suggestions? Acrobat Reader 11.0.3

    Klaus, I beg to differ: Any capable graphics app. should succeed in opening them, but the files themselves should open in the app. the user has assigned to them—usually the one whose icon they carry—and only in that app. Computers are supposed to do as they're told.
    First off, assure yourself that all your maintenance is up to date: MacJanitor, or Onyx or … the like and permissions repair have helped me w/ this sort of issue.
    The other sorta helpful note is that apparently there's more than one flavour of some file types like .pdfs, JPEGs and such. The helpful advice I got was to be prepared to "Change all" a few times w/ common types before Finder would finally get my drift. With Apple in the mixed up midst of file recognition by type and creator codes (old style) and by extension (their style) as well as by meta data (new style) it's a wonder anything opens, and no surprise that the Finder's 'sytsem' hiccoughs disappointingly often.
