hi,

For what it is worth.......Firefox is not the cause of your problems. I
have been using it for a while now and it is excellent!! If you removed it via Add/Remove, it may have left some folders on your Hard Drive. I usually remove those manually.....but try a System Restore to before you put it on. As for Safe Mode, I just finished a scan and defrag in it and I will give you the instructions on how to get into it......and when you are finished, you just go to Start/ReStart and it will automatically come up in Normal Mode, with a few scattered icons that you can rearrange. Start/Restart......and hold down the Ctrl (sometimes it is F8) key while your computer is shutting down and rebooting.......this will bring up a black and white screen with 4 choices.......pick #3 which is Safe Mode. A Help screen will come up, but close it. OK...you are now in Safe Mode. Do the Scandisk and then Defrag in that order and when finished, click Start/Restart and it will reboot into Normal Mode. Good luck.....it is quite easy once you do it a time or two. But this is the best way to do the above. Cheers......Heather.......and if you have any more questions, just ask.

heather: thanks for making it look easy for me to follow. I will write down your directions. Just for the record the cause for my not appreciating Firefox was probably that I would click and it opened to a Google Search. Then I was trying to change my profile/email address and couldn't. Recently I switched to Optimum Online/cable from DSL/MSN, it prompted me to change my email address. I guess I just didn't how to make changes in Firefox. But be as it may, I might give it a try? And it is good to know that Firefox isn't causing whatever is going on. ciao.. boni. "Heather" wrote: For what it is worth.......Firefox is not the cause of your problems.

Heather miuch appreciated the guidance. Just finished ( 6hrs) Scan
disk/Defrag on Safe Mode. When completed and then restarted a blue screen message read: There are no stack pages ..necessary to increase the settings of MinSPs in System.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 3 SPs allocated. click any key. ? Then pc went back to Normal But, prior to starting the whole Safe Mode today I received on screen message which I have NOT seen in weeks, reads: TASK SCHEDULER SERVICE Some task did not execute at their scheduled times because the Task Scheduler Service was not running. You can view the list of missed tasks and attempt to run them again, from within the Scheduled Task folder. These were in the folder: Maintenance Disk Clean up / Spybot / Tune-up Appl.start including ( Scan-disk and Defrag which I just completed). Could I have run the other Task on Safe Mode as well ? let me know. I had mentioned before that I deleted Firefox from Control Panel. What should I do first to Restore It ? thanks, boni.

Hi Boni.....
I can answer some of your questions, but will let the experts answer the MinSP ones....I know I changed mine and recall that it is in increments of 4, but will let one of them tell you. I just checked mine and it is set at 4. But I have upped it to 8 one time, I believe. Glad to hear you got Scandisk and Defrag done.....but 6 hours?? Have you not done it for a long time? As for Firefox.....just download it again and open it. Unless you saved it as an unopened program on your hard drive. You no longer have it on there, in other words. I am still poking around finding out about extensions, etc. There are certain things I love about it, and no popups is one of them. I find it is faster than IE as well. Yet you need IE to go to Windows Update for critical patches, etc. Task Scheduler....I have mine disabled. And have had it that way for a long time. I just checked in Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks and each of the 5 are disabled. I right-clicked each one and at the bottom left, the 'enabled' box is unchecked. I assume that it how I disabled them. Again, the experts here can verify this..... Glad to hear that things are sorting themselves out. I wish I could answer all of your questions, but the MVP's will be able to do so.

Hi Heather, In response to your question the answer isYes. It has been a
while since I Defrag / Scandisk my system. My PC is over 4y/o. And the first time I Defrag/Scan on Safe Mode . Successful I might add. Q. Should all other Scheduled Task other then just Defrag/Scandisk be done on Safe Mode ? On the the subject of MinSP, still waiting.. I just checked and I found Firefox in C: Win , will I just need to click to start over? Would appreciate the MVP's on the subject of disablling "all tasks" in Task Scheduler. Just checked out the 10/16 entry Using Firefox..... newsgroup. will be useful. On my way out and follow up later this evening . Ciao..boni "Heather" wrote: Hi Boni.....

This was the *first time* you ever scandisked & defragged in over 4 years??
Mindboggling!! One of the MVP's should be able to advise you on the MinSP question......also on the Task Scheduler because I don't use it. Re Firefox.....you don't say what you have found, but I should think you will have to redownload the program.....uninstalling them leaves a folder or two behind in Windows Explorer a lot of the time.

I just checked mine and it is set at 4. But I have upped it to 8 one time, I believe. Glad to hear you got Scandisk and Defrag done.....but 6 hours?? Have you not done it for a long time? As for Firefox.....just download it again and open it. Unless you saved it as an unopened program on your hard drive. You no longer have it on there, in other words. I am still poking around finding out about extensions, etc. There are certain things I love about it, and no popups is one of them. I find it is faster than IE as well. Yet you need IE to go to Windows Update for critical patches, etc. Task Scheduler....I have mine disabled. And have had it that way for a long time. I just checked in Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks and each of the 5 are disabled. I right-clicked each one and at the bottom left, the 'enabled' box is unchecked. I assume that it how I disabled them. Again, the experts here can verify this..... Glad to hear that things are sorting themselves out. I wish I could answer all of your questions, but the MVP's will be able to do so. Cheers....Heather "bonifacia" wrote in message ... Heather miuch appreciated the guidance. Just finished ( 6hrs) Scan disk/Defrag on Safe Mode. When completed and then restarted a blue screen message read: There are no stack pages ..necessary to increase the settings of MinSPs in System.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 3 SPs allocated. click any key. ? Then pc went back to Normal But, prior to starting the whole Safe Mode today I received on screen message which I have NOT seen in weeks, reads: TASK SCHEDULER SERVICE Some task did not execute at their scheduled times because the Task Scheduler Service was not running. You can view the list of missed tasks and attempt to run them again, from within the Scheduled Task folder. These were in the folder: Maintenance Disk Clean up / Spybot / Tune-up Appl.start including ( Scan-disk and Defrag which I just completed). Could I have run the other Task on Safe Mode as well ? let me know. I had mentioned before that I deleted Firefox from Control Panel. What should I do first to Restore It ? thanks, boni.

If you removed it via Add/Remove, it may have left some folders on your Hard Drive. I usually remove those manually.....but try a System Restore to before you put it on. As for Safe Mode, I just finished a scan and defrag in it and I will give you the instructions on how to get into it......and when you are finished, you just go to Start/ReStart and it will automatically come up in Normal Mode, with a few scattered icons that you can rearrange. Start/Restart......and hold down the Ctrl (sometimes it is F8) key while your computer is shutting down and rebooting.......this will bring up a black and white screen with 4 choices.......pick #3 which is Safe Mode. A Help screen will come up, but close it. OK...you are now in Safe Mode. Do the Scandisk and then Defrag in that order and when finished, click Start/Restart and it will reboot into Normal Mode. Good luck.....it is quite easy once you do it a time or two. But this is the best way to do the above. Cheers......Heather.......and if you have any more questions, just ask. "bonifacia" wrote in message ... hi, (actual data) i will try. recent post 2/21 SPYBOT. problem was fixed, so i thought. i also used immunization (advance mode). I scanned 2/24 found : Media plex 1, Advertizing.com 2, Ave a. inc 1, Double click 1, DSO.exploit 2, Huntbar 1. Aside of this issue. which i continue to try and resolve On 2/22 i installed mozilla/firefox.browser. chose to uninstall. control panel deleted. did not interest me. Today, ez trust-anti virus found : 2viruses c restore\ temp win32. tibser h trojan A0127976 & A0127980. with an additional 30+ files unable to scan. ? For more information it would have required me to click their web site , and all i needed to do was click www.ca etc... instead , I received error..UNABLE TO START WEB BROWSER. and I have noticed Firefox has appeared in other areas. The question whether when I deleted Mozilla/Firefox from Control Panel is there any other changes that need to be completed. For ex. should I go to C: win appl data Moz/Fire Prof xxxxx default. and DELETE ? Or do I merely go to System Restore. and set date to prior installation of Moz/Fire. or leave well enough alone. i get the jitters the thought of Safe Mode. and getting stuck. But, I will in a short while when grands come over. winme oem ie6 cable connection. aol broadband. later, noel and harry ... boni.
