Windows XP; rec'd std windows explorer window urging update to FF 21 w/link + buttons. not the usual style notice, so didn't click. is it legit?

I run windows XP on PC. A windows explorer style window popped up, urging me to update to Firefox 21. The window included a "more info" link and a "remind me later" and "install" button. I have never seen this style of notification before so clicked nothing and dismissed the window. Is this a legitimate firefox notification? If not, what have I been invaded by, and how do I proceed?

hello, it's hard to judge what was going on by description only - in case it does happen again, please try to create a [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?|screenshot]] of the dialog in question and attach it to a reply in the forum here...
in any case, firefox 21 has been released last week and you should indeed update to the latest version. just go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' in order to search for & apply the update.

I can't get the Bookmarks button (NOT the Display Your Bookmarks Button) to show in the Navigation Toolbar, except when I have the Customise window open.

I think that covers it really. When I have the customise window open I can see the Bookmarks Button (like the Display Your Bookmarks Button but with a little arrow on the right hand side) but as soon as I click Done it vanishes. I've tried it in a number of positions on the Navigation toolbar but without success.

My bookmarks button just moved itself out of the Navigation Toolbar and into the Bookmarks Toolbar. If there's a way to return it, let me know.
It's using a whole new toolbar's worth of space (since the Bookmarks Toolbar is now double height) just for one dinky button...love the idea of maximizing real estate and this is messing that up.

Windows 8.1 Install Fails, 8 Installs fine. (Not the usual CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF problem)

Hi All,
I have 2 machines with this problem now, both 64 bit (one a Pentium D, and one a Core 2 Duo), they both used to run Windows 7 x64, and both now have clean installed Windows 8 x86 on them (because I didnt install x64 as this a) didnt boot the installers)
and b) wouldnt run as these both seem to not have one of the CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF instructions.
I'm happy with them running x86 but would like them to be running windows 8.1..
Now I'm an MSDN subscriber, so I have downloaded and tried to boot the x86 versions of 8.1 (all editions), and all of them abort during boot at the blue flag with a "sorry your pc has had a problem and needed to restart"
I then thought I could install 8 and upgrade it in place using the store, so I installed 8 pro, and downloaded the update, which reboots the PC (happens same on both), and then crashes during boot at the same point.
I understand that the x86 version doesnt need the extra CPU instructions.. so why doesnt it work?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Sam

Hi
Auggy,
Thanks for your reply.
There are no memory dumps in that location.. (there are no .dmp files anywhere under the $Windows.~BT folder)
There are some other files which look like other logs though so I will have a look in
those see if anything jumps out at me as a problem.
Is there any way I can collapse the code block above? Its a bit huge and Id like
to collapse it to make this more readable (id also post the other logs if so so
that I dont clutter the thread too much with logs.. )
Thanks

Cannot drop pictures into video effects window (not the usual problem)

Hi there,
I cannot drop jpgs into the video effects window. I checked http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5700460&#5700460 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384222&#7384222 and they got me going, but my issue is slightly different.
The plus sign appears when I click and drag the picture out of finder and into one of the open windows in video effects user backdrop window. When I release the mouse button, nothing is dragged to the location. I have tried different picture locations, moved them to the desktop first, and different picture locations, but no luck.
Any ideas? I’ll run disk perms in the meantime in case it is something goofy, but if anyone has any ideas I’d be grateful. Just got my first Mac two days ago and love it so far

Hi,
Did the Pic file come from another computer ?
Manually navigate to the Pic.
Highlight it and do a "Get Info" (Apple Key and I together)
DO you Own it and have Read and Write Access (near the bottom when you expand the various tabs).
Make sure you are the Owner and have Read and Write access.

HT204150 Why won't my contacts come up on icloud? I have windows 7 and everything else on icloud is correct with what is on my phone, just not the contacts. HELP NEEDED!!

Why wont my contacts load on icloud? Everything else on icloud is correctly stated (reminders, alarms, calendar) on my phone, just not contacts.

If the contacts on your phone are not on icloud.com and you are signed into your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud with Contacts turned on, open the Contacts app and tap groups. Do you have any non-iCloud groups containing contacts such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting, and if so, what have you set as your default account?

PDFs no longer open in new explorer window...

Hi,
I have been using adobe acrobat 6 for a long time. Up until last week, from a specific web site, I could click on PDF links and open PDF's in a NEW explorer 8 window by simply clicking on it.
Starting this past monday, they no longer open in a new window and instead I get an explorer window asking me to "OPEN" or "SAVE".
So I figure that an update applied or something either to explorer or Adobe acrobat. Nope, not that I can see.
So I do a system restore to prior to when it was working correctly, nope.
So I tryEVERY single thing, except re-installing I can find on the web, nope.
This is the one thing about software that really gets me, MAGICAL changes prompted by appearently nothing.
Does anyone who has had the same prolem have any solution? Reventing to saving these things to my desktop is not an option.
Oh, i contacted the site where I get the PDF's from, they said they changed nothing and that my settings must have changed.
A System restore would take care of any CHANGES so I told them they are crazy.
Thanks,
Mark

Ar,
I'm only on IE 8, not 9. What is odd is that I can open some websites pdf's fine, but not others.
Very weird behaviour.
thanks,

How to configure a link in a popup window to open a tab in main window.

I have put videos in popup windows with a link to their relevant main windows. I have used a behaviors extention from adobe to close the popup with the same link button, but the page doesn't open in the main window.
Here is the link:
<h2><a href="http://mydom.info/new.php" style="text-decoration:none" onclick="close_window()">Full Article</a></h2>
I can't work out why the browser doesn't pick up the link? Is it because the link is doing two jobs, closing the window and linking to the page?
Help would be great.

Correct. You can use this code:
app.launchURL("http:\\www.adobe.com", true);

Photoshop CS4 Crashes When Deleting In Explorer Window

I'm running Windows 7 with gigs of hard drive space and 9 gigs of fast RAM. Whenever I open a file in Photoshop CS4 Extended (v.11.0.1) the "Open" file explorer window pops up and I then navigate to any image folder. If I'm in this window and see any file I don't need any longer and try to delete it PS crashes. I get the "Photoshop no longer responding" error and it shuts down. Other times it happens while I'm working on a file, sometimes when applying filters. The following error always shows up in the Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 11.0.1.0, time stamp: 0x499bf9b5
Faulting module name: QTCF.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4aa21f2c
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x67cec11b
Faulting process id: 0x1fec
Faulting application start time: 0x01ca793f11f8305d
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
Faulting module path: QTCF.dll
Report Id: 92ee343e-e532-11de-8888-0024e81c8cb0
I've looked everywhere for an answer and Google doesn't have anything. I did try the following as suggested on other forums for similar crashes:
Repaired/replaced the QTCF.dll file (Apple QuickTime DLL)
Ensured fonts aren't corrupt
Ran diagnostics on RAM, HD and system incl. registry - All OK
Ensured scratch disks were local and correct
Deleted PST temp files
Tried starting PS without preferences
Reduced/Increased memory allocation
Installed latest video drivers from ATI
Reinstalled PS CS4
Any idea what is going on? This is seriously affected my workflow and I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim

According to a few google searches the dll has to do with either itunes or quick time. The quick time fix was to go to control panel, programs, click on quick time then repair. If you have itunes install do the same but there might not be a repair option when you highlite.
Go to the adobe website to see if there is a quick time viewer for Windows 7 64 bit.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
I don't have itunes or Quicktime installed on either computer. I can't remember if the CS4 Extended disk install quicktime. All I installed off the Disk was CS4 Extended and Bridge.

Firefox opens up an explorer window when I download a file

Recently, Firefox started opening up an Explorer window every time I download a file. It's Better Explorer, actually, since I use that to replace the Microsoft version. The folder that opens is the target destination. So it creates multiple tabs, but I expect that it would just open up multiple instances of Windows Explorer if that's what I used.
So if I download a dozen images, I get a dozen tabs opened. This doesn't happen with IE or Chrome. I do have multiple extensions installed, but I've gone through the options in Firefox and any relating to downloads and none of them seem to have anything that might cause this. I did check the Applications tab under the Firefox Options, since that seemed like a probable cause. But I don't see anything. And I don't recall changing anything recently, in any case. I can't see anything in Better Explorer that would cause this behavior. Which is borne out by this not occurring in other browsers. And I haven't changed anything it, either.
I tried downloading something with NetVideoHunter and I get the same behavior. But it doesn't happen with DownloadThemAll!
I've tried researching it on-line, but the queries I use are apparently too similar to the ones for other issues, because nothing that comes up is even close to my problem.
As this is getting very annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Firefox remains my favorite desktop browser and I'm not prepared to give it up over this. But I'd hate to have to reinstall it, since I have it configure just the way I want it. And I'm not even sure that would fix the issue.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode safe mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
* all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
* default theme is used (no persona)
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
* default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
* Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
* hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
* plugins are not affected
* preferences are not affected
Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.
so you may want to also check for a user.js file and DELETE that.

Windows 8 takes time to open explorer.

Windows 8 takes time to open explorer (My Computer), found that if the network drive group policy is removed it opens fast.
Please help to diagnose the issue.

Hi,
According to your description, if this is related with mapped drive, it might be inaccessable network drives, I suggest you check the network connection between the PCs. Explorer may struggle if there is a problem with the other computers or with
the network.
Or as
britishdhez mentioned, check if a 3rd party program is the culprit.

How to Create a Dynamic http address that opens the Explorer Window for a List Item When a Button Is Clicked--Currently Trying to Make this Work with Javascript

I have created a button (via Content Editor) that uses JavaScript to open the Attachments folder of a list item in the Explorer Window in SharePoint 2010. The purpose is to have drag and drop functionality for each list item, having multiple attachments.
The button works but opens the "Attachments" folder containing all of the other folders for each list item (one folder per item). It seems that when you add an attachment to a list item, SharePoint numbers the folder based on the item's ID. What
I'm trying to do is take the JavaScript I have and have it run when a button is clicked in a custom form. When it runs, I'm trying to get it to open the "specific" folder for the list item. I have had success creating a hyperlink in the list that
does this; however, the link WILL NOT work until I use the Content Editor created button that runs JavaScript, that prompts me to click OK to my profile certificate, and then opens the Attachment folder. After that occurs, I can use my hyperlinks without issue
because I'm no longer prompted to click OK for my cert.
So I'm trying to take the JavaScript I have and place it in a list item form (custom form) and have it run when a form button is clicked. The problem is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript (did I mention little?) and
"don't know how to take the "http:" address I have in the script and append to it the list item ID, according to the record I have open."
So that for any record I open, the script will grab the corresponding record ID (or list item ID) and append it.
Here's the script I'm working with (which I didn't create but am grateful for):
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior:url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script text = "javascript">
function fnOpenFolderView(){
oDAV.navigateFrame("https://server/collection/site/subsite/Lists/Sublist/Attachments","_self");
</script>
<div id = "oDAV" class = "httpFolder"/>
<input type = "button" value = "Open Attachment Folder" onclick = "fnOpenFolderView()"/>
The above script, in the Content Editor, creates a button that opens the Attachments folder for the corresponding SharePoint list.

Hello Thriggle,
Thank you for pointing that out. I appended your "GetUrlKeyValue" to the end and it worked. That said, I noticed it doesn't run as smoothly as when I simply click on the Content Editor button I created that resides on the SharePoint List
ASPX page (not the form). The Content Editor button has the same code, minus the "GetUrlKeyValue". I click it; I get prompted to choose my cert; it opens right up.
Now go to the ASPX Display form where I dump the code in a table cell. Button appears in cell; I click it; wait; wait; I get prompted for cert; it opens. Do I need some sort of "throttle" for the JavaScript? For instance, I thought before running
JavaScript, you reference the library first. This code doesn't do that. I'm wondering if there's something more I need to make this run smoothly. Thank you both for getting me this far.

Possible to change the properties in Explore Window of Workspace?

Hi, this sounds almost like an impossible task but I'll give it a shot anyway.
In Workspace, open the Explore window, as you right-click there is a list of properties that defines reports in the repository.
from Priority, Exception, Version, Name, Owner, Created, etc......
I was wondering if you can edit any of these elements in the list, specifically for "Owner". The reason is that "Owner" displays the last person (by User ID) who updates the report, rather than showing whom the report belongs to.
So for instance, if you have 5 members in a group that has full powers to all reports, any of those 5 members could log in either as an Admin (with full powers) or his/her own user ID and make a change to the reports. The "Owner" column will show the person's name (or his/her user id) when he/she makes the change to reports. However, we still don't know which report is officially associated to or owned by which user since it is never addressed in a seperate vertical.
Being able to add a new column or edit the existing column to redefine what "Owner" should mean and do would help us tremendously.
Thanks for taking time reading.

I don't think this is possible (without at least some back end table hacking), however you can use the Name and Description fields to add information on the group owner that you wish to see. There's normally at least one other way to present what you want with Hyperion ;-)
For example, I have implemented several groupings in either the Description or Name field such as:
"Finance - P&L by Channel"
"Operations - P&L expanded"
In general the difficulty in showing an owner group is that sometimes users below to several groups, so which group that the user is part of becomes the "owner"?
Also in order to show the group you must be able to see that group, so not sure if there is some issue in seeing groups that users don't have access to?
Hope this helps.

IOS 6.1.3 / Windows 7 - 64 bit. I am connecting my IPhone 4 to my Windows desktop, in ITunes I click on IPhone and then the "Check for Update" tab. It takes me to a Windows explorer window. How do I get it to find updates?

Hello ibebry
Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
