Im not entirely sure how to say this. Its a tiny issue that I'm not sure if its a feature or a bug my windows has developed. Anytime I add a Favorite in IE9, I notice my desktop refreshes (Assuming this is Explorer refreshing)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a strange problem that I have never seen or heard of. Every time I try to do anything in windows 7 that requires an internet connection, it gives me a "Page cannot be displayed" or "Page not found" message. The only way I can get some pages to load is to refresh them several times, after wich they will finally load.It is not just a problem in IE8, as Chrome, and firefox do the same thing. Windows will not update anymore as it cannot get a connection, and I cannot purchase items from steam or itunes because they give me a "cannot find a secure connection" error. I recently reformatted and the problem still persists. Other PCs on my network do not have the same problem. I recently moved all of my components to a new chasis, and am wondering if the ethernet port or controller could have been damaged
View 9 Replies View Relatedheavy-handed cruising down my Favorites list accidentally drags an innocent Favorites folder inside of the folder above or below where the disappeared folder was. I confidently go to "Organize favorites" and pull up the list of favorites. Problem is: I can't just drop & drag a folder that's stuck inside of another folder. It just gets jerked back inside of the wrong folder. The stuck folder is forever stuck as it seems like all I am allowed to move are folders which are lined up neatly against the left margin of the list, not one that is hiding in the wrong place.

View 9 Replies View RelatedLast night, early hours of this morning I undertook the herculean task of tidying up my favorite folder in internet explorer on my XP Home PC, I then exported the lot to a folder on my XP desk top. I then transfered that folder to a back up drive, then transfered it to my new Win 7 desk top on another PC.
So now I have this favorites folder but can't seem to find a way of transferring/exporting it contents into Win 7 favorites, how do I achieve this please?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using IE 9.0.5 on Win 7 x64 Ultimate. In my favorites list many of the links have icons preceding the description that are unique to the site. But may on them have defaulted to the IE icon--a sheet of paper with the "e" on it.
I imported some of these bookmarks/favorites from Firefox but not all of them have defaulted.
Is there a setting in Internet Options that allows these icons to be recognized and displayed in the favorites list?
Recently when opening Favorites to put in a link it stutters and shakes and I cannot access any folders. It goes to Favorites instead of the folder I chose for it to go in.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPeriodically I have problems loading the Gmail inbox from an IE8 favorite, if using Gmail "standard view". Gmail "basic HTML" view doesn't have the problem. Likewise Firefox 3.5.5 nor Chrome 3.0.195.33 have the problem in either Gmail standard of basic view. IE8 version: 8.0.7600.16385. Happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit IE8.
Problem only happens if loading from an IE8 favorite, not if manually going to Gmail and logging in.
Typically the problem manifests as an indefinite wait while loading Gmail. However sometimes one of the following two errors happen:
""We're sorry. It seems there is a problem. Please try using Gmail with a supported browser. If you're encountering this error while using a supported browser, we suggest alerting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) that a proxy is failing to accept cookies on HTTP redirects."

When I open Explorer, Favorites is displayed at the top of the left column, as desired. However, not all of the folders I have designated for Favoriates is displayed in the left column. When I left click on the word "Favorites," then in the right column the entire list of Favorites folders does display. (Meaning:there's a list of nine folders on the right side, but back in the left column under Favorites only seven are displayed.)I've tried all of the solutions described above and none fixes this problem. If I try to drag a folder from Right to Left, two things happen: (A) A copy of that folder is created on the right side (so I'll see the original and a version with "(2)" after the name; and (B) on the left side, one of the folders that used to be in Favorites no longer displays.I don't know why a copy is made on the Right, but the action on the Left leads me to believe that somehow the left column Favorites is set to display no more than seven (7) items, but I can't find where to change that setting

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am going to be helping a friend who has an HP computer that has 4 primary partitions already. We need to add a 5th partition.
1. convert a partition to Extended and add logical partitions in it
2. Eliminate the System Reserved partition, mark the C: partition as active, and then run startup repair 3 times to recreate the boot files into the C: drive.Is this an accurate assessment, and if so, what are the tradeoffs of each method?I know that with #2 you would lose use of the system tools that are there, but a Win 7 Repair Disc would work for those purposes when needed.
I would like to add a USB 3.0 pci-e card to my system. There are several to choose from but none that I find have a 'header' to bring the USB to a port on my front panel. Those ports are now fed by the USB 2.0 header on my MB. I would sure be nice if I could have a USB 3.0 on the front.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am getting a new SSD for christmas. I will be installing Windows 7 Ultimate on it doing a fresh/clean install on a new drive. However, once that is done, I want to connect my old HDD (which was Windows 7 Pro) and get the images and stuff off of it, so I can format it and use strictly for sotrage. Is it going to cause a conflict? Is this even possible? I don't want to keep the OS on the old HDD. I plan on using that on a different computer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have a licensed Windows 7 x86 version installed on a desktop. I purchased a new SSD that I plan to use for the OS, Office, and some productivity applications. Games and media will remain on my existing 500GB hard drive. The hard drive currently holds my 32-bit installation of Windows 7. I want to install 64-bit Windows 7 on my new SSD and keep the data on my HDD.
Should I unplug my HDD when I install 64-bit Windows 7? If I plug in the HDD after installation will there be a conflict as to which OS should boot? I don't want to dual-boot or go back to x86, so I don't care about the windows installation on the HDD, just the data.
Should I keep my HDD plugged in with the new SSD and then install Windows 7 x64 to the SSD? Will that keep all of my HDD data intact?

Gaming use (BF3) mainly with media/MS Office stuff secondary.
1) Do you think it would be best to use this new drive as C: or main drive? Or to use it as storage and keep C: as is?
2) If used as main drive, are there issues installing Win7 on it and already having a Win7 install on another hard drive?
3) suggested improvements for video card upgrade.
I have to print a few dozen PDFs, each of which have between ten and one hundred pages each. The problem is, none of them actually reference their source, so when my boss reads them next to each other and piles them together, he has no way of knowing which ones came from which PDF. Is there a way I can add a "header" to the top of each page of a printed PDF, much like how when I add page numbers to a print job they go in the "footer"?I'm running Windows 7 and printing a PDF from Firefox. If it allows for more customizable print jobs I can print the PDF from Adobe Reader.
