Why does touchpad scrolling not work in Firefox?
Scrolling a web page from the touchpad on my laptop (IBM T42, quite old) does not work in Firefox (the page sits still). I have tried the remedies suggested in response to questions from two other users but with no effect. What might be the interesting reason for Firefox to exhibit this surprising, non-standard behaviour? Kind regards \ Jan Altena
Try to modify the ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled pref on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the touch pad work.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Close and restart Firefox after changing the ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled pref.
*ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (default:-1) (-1:autodetect;0:off;1:on)

You can also 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.<br /><br />

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.
IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop. -

Why does flash player not work with facebook?
Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.
Message was edited by: khettichThis means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number
Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message
Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work
I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium. I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere. When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message. I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message. What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.Thank you for the tip. Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
then reactivate the suite. I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
10.6.4. I do not even know where to start.

Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
system; no need to clear it and re-enter it. -

Why does photo stream not work on 4g
Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.
The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.
