how to remove???

OK.....obviously you uninstalled Firefox, but it left some files and folders
behind.

Personally?? I would just delete them via Windows Explorer (what you are
calling C: Windows, I imagine) and hold them in the Recycle Bin for 2 or 3
daysto make sure they are not needed (they aren't, but it is a good practice
to do it this way).

Then download Firefox again. This time, download it *unopened* to a folder
that is specifically for that purpose. I have one called *Downloads* where
I put all the programs.....and then open them from there.

The reason for that is if something disagrees with WinME, I have the last
one that worked properly in this folder, and I can revert to that.

When you get Firefox up and running, it asks you where to put the
downloads....I chose a separate folder, just so I know whether FF or IE
downloaded them.

Any other questions?

Cheers....Heather

Hi Heather, Well , If I go to Start/Programs , there is no
Mozilla/Firefox.
also if I go to Add/Remove Mozilla/Firefox , is not there.
But, when I go to C: Windows and scroll down the following
Folder/subfolders
are the MozillaFirefox/Profiles/adjust.default/cache/chrome/ext/{972
etc#'s.
Again, does this mean that I need to remove the above? or not . I'm asking
you guys to give me the answer. If I wish to Reinstall.

thanks, boni.

What happens if you click on a Firefox icon or use
Start/Programs/Mozilla
Firefox?? If nothing happens, then download it again. If it opens, I
don't
know what you were doing when you thought you uninstalled it....lol.

hi Heather, I 'll try to give a better picture.
In Search forFiles & Folder when I typed Mozilla there appears
1 folder Mozilla File Folder.

Then when I enter Firefox (in search) 3 folders appear:
Firefox Setup 1.0 4,803 kb Appl.
Firefox Filefolder
Firefox 1.0 1kb Shortcut

The files I found in C: Windows were the following:
+ Mozilla ( subfolders)

Hi Boni......

It is very hard for me to see what you are seeing.......if you
uninstalled
Firefox from Add/Remove, then you uninstalled most of the program.
I am
looking at my Windows Explorer and under Programs.....

Click on the + sign beside it and you should have at least 9
subfolders,
(plugins, uninstall, defaults, etc) and 4 of these have subfolders
of
their
own. The size when I highlight *Mozilla Firefox* is 8.44 MB and
Firefox.exe
is 6467 kb. If none of that is the same then just remove that
folder
(or
leave it in there if you want)......but download Firefox again in
order
to
get the whole program.

I can't answer you on Task Scheduler....I do not use it. I would
prefer
that one of the MVP's answer that one. I do my own *tasks*......I
don't
rely on them being done automatically.

Heather, hi.
what I said was first time on Safe Mode.
Re Firefox... I found Mozilla folder in C: and on the right side
of
the
screen there is Firefox and registry.
again, the same question that is not answered 2/22. Can I run the
additional
tasks that are in Task Scheduler in Safe Mode ?
I will continue to fix things on this end.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
"Heather" wrote:

For what it is worth.......Firefox is not the cause of

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.

The question whether when I deleted Mozilla/Firefox

is
there any other changes that need to be completed. For
ex.
should
I go
to

and

Or do I merely go to System Restore. and set date to

If you wish to reinstall Firefox keep that folder! As the name of the
folder clearly implies the folder contains your Firefox profile, your
bookmarks, your settings and preferences for the program and your emails
if you use the Thunderbird mail reader.

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

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.

For what it is worth.......Firefox is not the cause of your

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

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.

this

Aside of this issue. which i continue to try and resolve
On 2/22 i installed mozilla/firefox.browser. chose to

with an

additional 30+ files unable to scan. ?
For more information it would have required me to click

and all i needed to do was click www.ca etc... instead ,

I

received

error..UNABLE TO START WEB BROWSER. and I have noticed

in other areas.
The question whether when I deleted Mozilla/Firefox from

Control

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

Yes... snow, snow, and more snow! I don't mind snow though, it's those
-25's with hundred mile an hour winds I don't like, when it snows it's
nice and mild, you know the saying "too cold for snow...". That "chiac"
from Shediac is different to say the least. In the northern part of the
province we don't talk chiac, unless we drink too many of them funny
beers. Even we have a hard time understanding chiac, it's mostly a
south-east lingo.

If you wish to reinstall Firefox keep that folder! As the name of the
folder clearly implies the folder contains your Firefox profile, your
bookmarks, your settings and preferences for the program and your emails
if you use the Thunderbird mail reader.

Hi Heather, In response to your question the answer isYes. It has

the

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

Q. How to make a Download Folder ? To as you suggest , put downloads inside.

"Heather" wrote:

OK.....obviously you uninstalled Firefox, but it left some files and folders
behind.

Personally?? I would just delete them via Windows Explorer (what you are
calling C: Windows, I imagine) and hold them in the Recycle Bin for 2 or 3
daysto make sure they are not needed (they aren't, but it is a good practice
to do it this way).

Then download Firefox again. This time, download it *unopened* to a folder
that is specifically for that purpose. I have one called *Downloads* where
I put all the programs.....and then open them from there.

The reason for that is if something disagrees with WinME, I have the last
one that worked properly in this folder, and I can revert to that.

When you get Firefox up and running, it asks you where to put the
downloads....I chose a separate folder, just so I know whether FF or IE
downloaded them.

Any other questions?

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.

First boot to Safe Mode, and check out Device

for
duplications/errors, and while there, run Belarc,
and
install
Everest

then post back with some real (actual!) data

Rick, I did find the area in Control Panel under Programs and there is a
small box unchecked to check if IE is the default browser. Is it that you
mean check as in to look or to put a check in that box ?

check it. With any luck (maybe after a reboot?) IE will then become
your default browser (again) and you won't have to worry about Fx.

Mike,
I don't get it. You obviously have done your best ..incl referred to the
kb article. thanks.......
I will continue to explore other issues that are just as helpful to
me.
thanks, boni.

The KB article is quite explicit as I thought were both of my previous
posts.

In the [386Enh] section, add or edit the following line as applicable:
"MinSPs=4" (without the quotation marks)

Nowhere in my posts or in the KB article does it say anything about adding
the text MinSPs=8 to an existing line. Any reference to "edit" is because
that is what you are doing, making a change, which could be either by
adding or inserting (does that help?) the line MinSPs=8 or amending or
editing an existing line such as for example MinSPs=6 and changing it to
read MinSPs=8.

Mike: Although it might seem clear to you and I have gone over the KB
as well in explaining, just so I get my question across and
understood, I went to Search for Files .. searched system.ini and 1
file showed up System , then I click it and System Notepad
appeared. On the long list I found an entry (386Enh) entry. Now,
when I add not to another line, but the same line ? as below ?

(386Enh)MinSPs=8

Or, if not , is it then typed in between the list ? as :

(386Enh)
MinSPs=8

I don't know... Watch Jane Run
So if it is add =additional or edit = change . ?
Which of the above is correct. or not.

I'm sorry but I'm at a bit of a loss to understand what you are finding
difficult about editing system.ini and adding the line MinSPs=8 to the
section [386Enh]. Perhaps what follows will help which is what the
[386Enh] section looks like on a Win Me box here after adding the line
MinSPs=8.

[386Enh]
MinSPs=8
ebios=*ebios
woafont=app850.fon
mouse=*vmouse,msmouse.vxd
device=*dynapage
device=*vcd
device=*vpd
device=*int13
display=*vdd,*vflatd
PagingDrive=D:

The section [386Enh] may have a different content to the above but don't
worry about that and don't worry about the order of the items as that is
irrelevant. My purpose in posting this is to show you what adding the
line MinSPs=8 will look like. Do NOT edit the entries in your file to be
the same as mine, especially the line PagingDrive. The only change you
should need to make is to add the line MinSPs=8.

Regards and the best of luck,
