  • Did "Yahoo Image Search" change?

    On a "Yahoo image search" results page, I used to be able to hover over a picture and it would get bigger and show the link to it. It no longer does this. You have to click on it to find the link. This started a few days ago. I'm using Firefox with Windows 8.

  • why do some store websites take so long to load?

    A lot of stores that I use online take forever to load pages. A few of them are Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, Walmart and Amazon. Amazon is by far the worst. Other than a bunch of stores, my computer works perfect.

    This happens on 2 computers in my home. Is it the websites, or do I need to change settings on my computer?

    Thanks.

  • administrator permission?

    I have windows 8, and I am the administrator. I downloaded a program today and did not like it, so I uninstalled it. Now in my "program data" file, I found 3 items that I can't delete (bitguard, browser protect & browser manager). I get a pop up that says I need administrator permission. Also, there is a bunch of items in my temp folder that I can't delete. I tried every thing in user accounts, and restored my system to an earlier date. nothing worked. I am the administrator, so why can't I get rid of these items.

    Thanks,

    Shawn

  • How do I know if I have XP if the computer uses Ubuntu?

    I just purchased a used Acer netbook. The specs say that it came with XP. When I turn it on, it goes to the Ubuntu desktop. I'm very familiar with XP, but don't have a clue how this works. I can't find the programs, but if XP is still there, I would like to switch to it.

    Thanks, Shawn.

  • Yahoo search problem?

    When I do a search, and then click on a link, a dialog box opens that says "you have chose to open (site name) which is an application, What should Firefox do with this file". Just like opening a pdf file. This just started to happen. It only happens with Firefox with yahoo. If I use Google, it works fine. If I use IE with Google or Yahoo, it works fine. I tried Malwarebytes,and rebooting. I have the latest version of Firefox. Any ideas?

  • Can I delete IE7 updates folder?

    In my windows folder, there is a sub folder called "ie7 updates". The size is 533mb. When I go to it's properties, it says that it contains 1341 files, in 60 folders. When I click on the folder, it just opens a blank page (no files or folders). I do have Internet Explorer 7, which is hardly ever used. Firefox is the one I use. Can this folder be deleted safely, letting me still use ie7 when I want to? Thanks.

  • Firefox Stopped allowing me to access my credit card web site?

    I have cookies allowed. I can go to the main site, but when I click on "login", I get a message that says "The page isn't redirecting properly, Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete". This just started happening. I used to be able to login. Internet Explorer will let me. I'm using the latest version of Firefox. Any ideas?

    I was away for a week. When I got home, I turned on the power strip for my computer and got a big spark from the power supply. I know the supply is junk, but could that have hurt the computer?

  • Replacement power supply question?

    Does it matter if the fan is on the end of the case or on the bottom? The one I'm replacing is on the end, and a lot of the ones I see on line, are on the bottom.
