How do i switch off all the flash animations of my fire fox1.5 browser? How do i switch off the flash plugin at all? How do i stop a fresh fire fox installation from popping up messages like, this page requires additional plugins.
View 8 Replieshow i can prevent the little cutsies' of animations that are embedded in some emails i receive from 'moving i would assume they just add 'download' time from my server into O.E. i know how to get to 'advanced' tab within I.E. but don't know 'what' to check or uncheck or if this is even an Explorer situation or O.E. setting. i tried but couldn't make any headway. i hate to ask the sender not to include them but i don't want to hurt feelings either but that's a whole other 'advice' column.

i am having a problem with my computer it keeps on switching off. I read the thread about it and i cleaned out the fan. It was clogged full of dust. In my bios, when i go to power, the the voltage meter 3.3V is at 4.08 and red. It has not changed since i cleaned it. When it first occurred it went back to normal level after i left it off for awhile. Have i got permanent damage and if so to what component would it be the power supply or the chip processor.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two accounts created on my computer which is running Windows XP Professional. One is the account I've been using for about 3 years, which contains all my personal information, settings, as well as 30 GB of media that is stored in the 'My Documents' folder.
The other account was created about 15 minutes ago. It contains nothing. I need to switch (if possible) all my settings, data, everything essentially; over to the new account. Is there a way to do this?
I had a Thrustmaster Dual Power 4 game pad, and bought a Logitech Rumblepad later. I like the Rumblepad better, and want to consider it my "first string" controller. But if I go into say, Nba Live 2005, and go to choose controllers, no matter what I do, the thrustmaster is on the top of the list, and the logitech is on the bottom. All the old posts talk about choosing Preferred device in the control panel. By running DxDiag, I can see that setting something as the Preferred Device assigns it Controller ID 0. But I also see that the order of the Controllers, as recognized by most games, is the same as the order listed in the game controller control panel, and is completely unrelated to which device is "controller id 0" and "preferred device." For example, I set the logitech as preferred device, and plugged in the thrustmaster and also a gamepad pro.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a computer that has windows XP Home. I't has some driver issues etc that cannot be fixed mainly because i do not have the disk that was used to install it. I do on the other hand have a Win2K prof. disk that i would like to install on this comp so that it can be used again. I was wondering if someone might be able to either tell me or point me in the right direction of getting this machine re-installed with the win2k op sys. i.e tutorials etc. I also do not have the bios install disk so the bios will need to remain the way it is.

It gets to about 8000 files scanned then it crashes and switches off. It has happened at other times today when Norton Scan has not been running as well. I sent the error report and it came back with what is written below.

When using Alt-Tab for Task Switching the menu aborts irregularly after an inconsistent amount of time rarely more than a few seconds.To re-state: I hold down Alt and then push Tab once while continuing to hold Alt. The menu comes up to show all current running programs. Then after a moment the menu exits just as if I had pushed the escape key.I have also noted that viewing the alt-text when doing a mouse-over on an image in my web browser is interrupted similarly.I have run my virus checker and Ad-Aware and found nothing. I have also tried closing all programs: no effect. I have also tried ending all non-essential processes through Task Manager: No effectI am running: Windows XP Home on a Dell Inspiron 1501

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat a pain. It says that upgrading from windows 2000 to XP home is not supported and when I go to reformat, it doesnt allow me to reformat the "partitioned space". It gives me no other option than to install XP on the same partition as Windows 2000, and then tells me it isn't advisable to do it. Whats up with that, and how do I get rid of 2000 so I can properly install XP home?I've unfortunately got XP partially installed, and when I reboot it will go to the black screen... but then asks do I want to start up with xp or 2000, so I start with 2000 and, well, frankly I am sick of this and just want it to install.If I'm going to screw around with this all the time, trying to keep these dang computers functioning, then I really need to take some classes, sheesh.

Instead I have to use alt-tab to do it. If I only have one window open and wish to de-select it as the active window I have to use the windows key to open the start menu clicking on start does nothing, I can only interact with the active window.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer keeps switching itself to standby on its own after 20-30 minutes. This is a problem as I do alot of DVD back ups so it ends up stopping the software I use meaning I cant do any back ups whatsoever.
I have checked in my power settings and it is supposed to be set to always on, so have no idea why this is happining.
The computer is pretty much brand new from Dell so maybe it is some factory setting.
I have a fijitsu siemens PC running windows XP home (SP2), I have 2.4ghz CPU, 80G HD and 750 MB of memory. Whilst running for me as the administrator it is slowish but I can live with that. However, when my wife uses "switch user" her "section" once opened runs VERY slowly. Coupled to this when I switch back (even if she logs off) it crashes, I get a message when checking events that her part of the registry was still in use? Is there any way around this it is very irritating especaily her "section" running so blasted slowly

There does not seem to be any consitant reason for this, it appears to be a random action. I have tried everything i know to cure it. Drivers are upto date, anti viruse, trojan scanned for, everything is clean as far as i can tell. Window uptodate etc etc. I can not boot to safe mode, or into the bios just get a blank screen.

View 5 Replies View RelatedYou know the sound that the computer makes when you click on start-> Log Off -> Switch User? It's a specific sound like when you turn off your computer or when you restart your computer, or when you log in to your computer. That "Windows" sound. Well for me, that sound has disapeared everytime switch users. My normal sound is okay, and the log off/log in sounds are still there, but for some strange reason, my Switch User sound is gone. I was just wondering what caused this, it's not really a big deal,
