mikex, Sounds like it may be time to call your ISP to confirm your POP3 setttings.

JSKY, When you uninstalled Firefox did you delete your profile from C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Mozilla? If you did not that corrupted data is still there until you delete the old profile.

Check out the Adblock extension https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/showl...=Page%20Display

System Restore should correct that if you have that feature.

tg1911, Speaking of screen shots, I have a current screen shot of my PROGRAM FILES, ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS, SERVICES, TASK MANAGER PROCESSES, etc. If any thing changes I can compare it to my screen shot.

tg1911, I concur with your tip. My main folder is named DOWNLOADS and my sub-folders where I keep my installers are named BROWSERS, FIREWALLS, SECURITY,etc. I take screen shots of all the settings for each application I install so I can reconstruct everything if necessary. Great tip.

Are you referring to "Big Fix" ?

Snaxe, Take a look at this link: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/hotkeys.html

tictoc5150, Thanks for the thanks. Have you been to this link to get your extensions: http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?act=portal&site=2

Here are a couple of links about Firefox Settings: http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?titl...:config_Entries http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about:config/ BTW, if you want to examine your cache type about:cache in the address bar. To see your plug-ins type about:plugins These links are about how to speed up firefox: http://www.computerbb.org/about150.html http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/htt...lining-faq.html

StealthG, I am glad I could help.

In the FF address box type about:config When the page loads type 'scroll' (without the ") in the filter box at the top. There are two settings with should both read true general.autoscroll general.smoothScroll If either is not true, right-click the line and select toggle. You should probably restart FF. Good luck

bryanernest, I am an exclusive FF user ( I have Internet Explorer blocked with my firewall). Have you heard of pipeling to cause Firefox to run faster. If you type about:config in the FF address bar you will have access to the settings. Here are some links on pipelining: http://www.computerbb.org/about150.html http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/htt...lining-faq.html I find that Firefox is not an install it and run it type of browser. There are probably 200+ tweaks you can make to Firefox. So before you decide to toss it, you ought to dig into it a little more so you can learn to customiz

Thanks Sultan. Disabling the 'Workstation' service solved a desktop loading problem that plagued me for over a year.

Hey Marty, I am glad some of those tweaks are working for you. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Marty check out this link, especially the part about disabling the service named Workstation. I disabled mine and my desktop especially loads very effeciently. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?art...id=1590&page=31

Wayne, That is good to know. Thanks.

I downloaded the patch from here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS04-028.mspx Thanks

Today, on Google News, I saw that a windows update has been issued for a JPEG security flaw. How can I get the patch and avoid SP2 for now. When I go to Windows Update it wants me to turn on automatic updates. If I turn it on will SP2 automatically download or will I get to pick and choose the updates? Thanks.

Marsh, Thanks for the kind words. I ran into such a hassle registering for the G4 Techtv boards that I decided to just sit in the stands. I am glad B got this board up and running.

Just for kicks, I have 26 items in my 'Send To'. Almost ready for a second column of 'Send To's.

Also, You can export your Firefox bookmarks by going to Manage Bookmarks > File >Export. From there you can browse to any folder on your harddrive to store a backup copy in case FF crashes or something.
