I am going to check to see if a beta version of FF is on the laptop. If it is, can it be changed to non-beta? Good luck and thanks for your time.

I looked through the list and could not find any reference to Work Offline being true or false. I also want to clarify that work offline bug was from a previous version of firefox and when I installed FF beta-1, the bug came in also. I have had problems with the WorkOffline bug for a couple of months. I got rid of it once, but when my computer crashed and I reloaded fire fox the bug came back.

Hi List, I have the Work Offline bug in my version 4.0. Beta 1 of Firefox. Can anyone help me with getting rid of it? I went to MozillaZine and got the below information, but I cannot make heads or tails of it. "If you use a PPP connection (dialup or DSL) and Firefox always starts in “Offline” mode, switching this preference to true may fix the problem. Offline/online status changes will not be detected, though." How would I go about switching the preference to true?

Charlie- Can you give us some information about your system...like how much RAM you have and what operating system (Windows 7, XP, VISTA, etc.) you are using? I ask this because when things start "disappearing" like what you are experiencing it could well be insufficient resources. Joan In a message dated 7/23/2010 10:45:28 A.M.

Hi Barry Thank you so much. I took out all the usb plugs and I put an old fashioned mouse and keyboard in with the green and purple plugs I checked the plug leading to the outlet with something else and that is working. But the PC Still doesn't work. I don't know what I am looking for with the magnifying glass but I have a few screw drivers. If you can give me some baby baby steps. I will change the power sauce or the diapers or what ever you tell me to do. Thanks so much Be Well Ema Eac> My pc wont turn on no lights no noise nothing.

On my computer, I can go to the bottom of the page where it shows what is open, right click and choose Delete -- can you do it that way? Nancy

What happens if you go to "file" on the task bar and then click exit?? In a message dated 7/16/2010 1:56:20 A.M.

Some times the only way I can exit is control alt delete then I have to reboot and start all over which is a waste of time. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 10:59 AM Subject: Re: [SR-NEWBIE] going crazy > > What happens if you go to "file" on the task bar and then click exit?? > > In a message dated 7/16/2010 1:56:20 A.M.

Hi Norma ...... if you look at the CD drawer you should see a tiny hole in the space below and close to the button that opens the drawer. If you straighten a paper clip and carefully (gently) push it into the hole you should find that the drawer will open easily.

Thanks Bev.......... in frustration yesterday I took the side panel off and the inside,I am ashamed to say, was filthy with dust and fluff that had been elecrostatically attracted .......... so I cleaned it out with a brush and hand held vacuum cleaner. When I reassembled it it worked like a charm.. I should have known this as I religiously clean the filters in my air conditioners on a quarterly basis and my poor old PC had never been cleaned in almost five years.

Hi Barry and thanks for your response, In shame I must confess that the problem was just 'poor housekeeping' ........ I disconnected the PC from the power and took a side off .......... well!! ....... the compacted dust and filth inside was amazing so I used a brush followed by a car type vacuum cleaner to remove it all. In so doing I must have cleared up the problem as the light started to flicker on the drawer so I inserted a CD and it worked OK. I should have known better as I have cleaned the air filters in my air conditioners at home on a quarterly basis .... dont know why it did'nt occur to me that the PC is not unrelated to this problem.

Secondary drive. I THINK when you click on the drive, at the bottom or the drive itself it will say something about click to open drive. I remember it happened to me about 100 yrs ago so I not totally sure. Or ask any teenager & they will fix it for you before you go out and spend money.
