Won't save settings, always starts looking for Proxy and have to change it to no proxy.

When I start Firefox it is always looking for a proxy. I change it in settings but it won't save it. I have the latest version.

  • Vista looking for drivers and BSODs

    I bought a 3TB MyCloud device a few months ago. I cannot get it to work properly with my Windows Vista desktop and support refused to help. They remoted in and accessed the device without using their software and claimed it was a Windows problem, not theirs. When I connect the device directly to my Ubee Wireless Router/Switch, Windows Vista immediately sees it as new hardware and tries to find drivers for it. Of course WD does not provide these. In Device Manager, it shows up under Other Devices with a warning indicator because there are no drivers installed. I was able to copy files to the device, but when I try to access them from the device, my Windows Vista desktop gets a BSOD (this happened after the call to support). I've now disconnected the device from my network as the constant BSODs damaged my computer. The device works with my Windows 8.1 computer, but has problems with my Sony Blu-Ray player connected wirelessly to the network. I've posted about this in a different thread. Is there a way to get this working properly with Windows Vista?

    The BSOD that other thread talks about appears to be related to using one of the WD apps, my guess is the WD My Cloud Desktop app on their Windows PC. There is a known issue for some who use the WD My Cloud Desktop app where once that app is opened, some users experience Windows Explorer crashing. There is one or two other threads covering this very specific Windows Explorer crashing issue related to that WD My Cloud Desktop app that affects a few users. Generally one does not need to install "drivers" to access the WD My Cloud. One should be able to access the WD My Cloud on their local network via Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer). It will show up in the "Network Neighborhood" or under "Network". If it is not showing up under Network then check the network settings on both the Vista PC, ensuring it has the same Network Name/Network Workgroup (typically "workgroup") that the WD My Cloud uses under "Settings -> Network -> Network Workgroup". The other recommended suggestion is to configure the WD My Cloud for a static IP. Either within the WD My Cloud administration UI or within one's router/gateway. Both the Vista PC and the WD My Cloud should be in the same IP address subnet (for example both should have an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range). If you have not done so read through the WD My Cloud User Manual in particular "Using Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7" under "Getting to the Public Share" for the general procedure of accessing the WD My Cloud shared folders with Windows Explorer on Windows Vista.You and I are worlds apart on this issue. Your solution doesn't relate to my problem. I did not have a problem getting to or seeing the device in Vista. There were two problems and I believe I've cured both of them, though I don't know how. Problem 1: Vista keeps asking for drivers. When I connected the device to my network, Vista would see the device and try to locate drivers as if it had found a new printer. It couldn't find any so I had to close the driver request windows without finding drivers. The device then would show up in Device Manager under Other Devices with a yellow exclamation mark indicating the drivers were not loaded correctly. After several BSODs (for a different issue), I ran SFC and CHKDSK on my computer. Neither program found a problem. Then when I tried to connect the device again, Vista started looking for drivers and I walked away from the computer for the evening. When I had come back, it said the drivers were loaded. In Device Manager, Vista shows a new device category named "Western Digital NAS" with two devices installed: My Cloud Network Media Server and My Cloud Network Storage. The driver problem is now solved but I don't know how. Problem 2: Files I had loaded onto the shares to learn how to use the device can be seen in Windows Explorer. That was never a problem. However, as soon as I clicked on a file, the screen would scramble and then BSOD. This only occurred with files loaded onto the MyCloud device. After some blue screens, I started up into Safe Mode with Networking. I was able to click on the files without crashing, though Media Player wouldn't play them or even start in Safe Mode. I then did a clean boot and it tested okay. As I added items in MSCONFIG, the problem would not recur. There was one item that prevented me from even setting MSCONFIG to do a normal startup, and that was Kaspersky Internet Security 2015. Not only that, but I couldn't start the software at all. I did a complete removal of Kaspersky and then reinstalled it. I no longer have any BSODs. Both issues, as mysterious as they were, have mysteriously been resolved. I have a DLNA issue, but that's in another post. I also have a new issue with the WD My Cloud desktop app but I don't need to use that and if I do, I'll start a new discussion.

  • I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

    I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
    Thank you.

    Might be a corrupted database ...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Where to start looking for _JVM_SupportsCX8@0  error

    I compiled a Java applet with jdk1.1.8 that html runs fine on Explorer 6.0.2800...
    but when I run on Netscape 7.0 I get an error:
    The procedure entry point JVMSupportsCX8@0 could not be located in the dynamic link library jvm.dll
    I need a suggestion where to start looking for a solution.
    Netscape or

    You might need to use the Object & Embed tags rather than the Applet tag in your HTML. IE allows you use sun's JVM for the Applet tag, but I don't know about Netscape. Look for HTMLConverter to convert HTML files that support both tags.

  • Found a burned chip.  Looking for name and type.

    Hello again, AMB group. I looked for similar pictures/ posts, but I did not find something with the detail here. Anyway, I've got a problem where my hard drive won't even spin up (seems like no power to the drive) but everything else checks out fine on the logic board. Micromat TT and the Hardware Test disk give it OKs. So I went through the process of taking out the logic board looking for problems, and I've found a super duper one. Here is a link to the picture of the burned chip, located right below the processor.
    http://fs6.depauw.edu:50080/~jonathanstack/burnedchip.jpg
    I've ordered a couple bad logic boards, hoping one of them will have a salvageable chip. But I'm wondering if this is a programmed, proprietary chip, or if I can get one from Newark or something. I think I will take it to an electronics shop to have them solder the new chip on; I don't have a micro soldering iron.
    Look forward to any thoughts on replacing the chip. Of course replacing the logic board is a possibility, but you can see this might be cheaper, because a bad logic board runs less than $15 usually.
    Bye for now,
    JG

    Hi J,
    Have you tried a different HD and/or tried this HD in an enclosure or another PB? Obviously that chip looks bad, but the motor mechanism or the electronics on the HD could be bad, having nothing to do with the chip.
    Was everything working fine (all ports etc.) before this?
    Regarding the chip itself: if the HD checks out ok, the chip should be an interesting proposition. I can't recall ever hearing of anyone replacing any soldered on part of a logic board. Even for certified repair shops, the "fix" is to replace the LB, and faulty boards are sent to specialized repair centers with the specialized equipment to tackle the job. I hope you are successful and will post back with results. Good luck.

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

    System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

  • I have been taking photos for years and have thousands.  When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them.  Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few?  Thanks.

    The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

  • HT1338 ently started a  new   course and have to submit my work in word. What is the easiest PDF to word. or get word for mac?

    Hi, I am using Pages O9 with Endnote X4, I have recently started a new course and have to submit my work in word.
    What is the easiest way?  PDF to word or get word for mac?

    A document created in Pages must be translated during export into MS Word .doc format. As Pages is not an MS Word clone, it may allow you to create document content that upon export, is partially or wholly incompatible with Microsoft Word.
    Rather than wait for this potential, unpleasant surprise, you should consider using MS Word from Office for Mac 2011. The faculty may be using MS Office on Windows, or the Mac version. Paper submissions usually are time consuming and important for the course grade. Why gamble?
