OK I followed this, downloaded to desktop and uninstalled Firefox.....Then downloaded latest version of Firefox, to finish it opens Firefox automatically....everything looked as it was, didnt have to import anything! Amazing. Options now opens correctly and my homepage is reset. All is back as...

Unfortunately I think that might be the only option...crap. Any suggestions for backing up bookmarks? I cant see anything in the menu...

Mmmmm, ok I did that and it wiped the home page altogether so it now opens with a page address fault (as there isnt one). However going to Options still has the same result. I tried accessing Internet Options via the Control Panel without a problem but Firefox obviously doesnt connect to it as...

Firefox opens a new web page thats headed 'Problem loading page' and the page states 'The address isnt valid' with the option to try again. The same as accessing a bad web address. Other options in 'Tools' open in the same way but correctly, except 'sign in to sync' which also doesnt open...?

Ok, after uninstalling/stripping off the software, I had run Malwarebytes (it was already on my desktop) before seeing your post because my browser home page had been reset and trying to access the Options in Firefox tools only led to an error page. Afterwards Malwarebytes had reset my home page...

In reality I didnt get as far as downloading CamStudio or ManyCam as I assumed that access to the webcam would have been basic enough part of the Toshiba/windows software for reasons given. I have downloaded Skype in order to see the view through the web cam (ok but not great) but as quoted...

Really? So if you had bought a new iphone you wouldnt be bothered if you had no access to the camera as std? You wouldnt think that was slightly odd? You wouldnt take it back to the shop and say 'the camera doesnt work?'. Only to be asked 'why do you want access to the camera....?'

It was only to see what the webcam view was really. its normally covered with sticky tape! just didnt think it would be sooooo hard to see something so simple!!!! :-/

I have an old Toshiba Equium and was trying to view the webcam thru the laptop. Do I have to sign up for Skype to do that?

Hi all, I am trying to access my laptop webcam so I can display on my screen what the webcam views. I am on win 7 but cannot find anyway to view through the webcam?? :-( am I missing something? suggestions much appreciated :-)

Unfortunately not, I was hoping the Memtest would confirm, I have had a look on ebay and I can buy 2 x 2Gb for about £20 -£25 which I dont mind if its going to fix it but a bit wastefull if it isnt :-(

Oh dear that doesnt sound good, It crashes about once a day or every other but other than that it works fine. I can play online videos without problem, youtube etc. You dont think its a RAM problem then?

Its a Toshiba HDD2H04 120Gb 5400rpm. Normally when it crashes I get lots of broken horizontal lines across the screen like a tv just off station. but when the Memtest86 is running it just goes blank and silent :-/ it doesnt reboot.

I have just run it again and it switched off at 5% of test 7 this time! Can you clarify which drive you are referring to (HDD, USB?) As I understand the default Memtest86 test runs 13 tests of the whole system, unless you mean version and I would have to run it again to take note. Actually the...

The first time I ran it I wasnt paying that much attention (although I did notice test 6) and it just shut down. The second time I watched it until it shut down again half way through test 6. I restarted the computer without problem and carried on. Its never shutdown due to overheating...

Ok I have run a HDD test and it found no problems. I have down loaded and run Memtest86 twice and the computer switched off half way through test 6!?

Its random but if the computer is left until it goes to sleep it will often crash as soon as it wakes. Sometimes it will crash just after I press shutdown :-/

Its got slightly worse lately, I randomly get horizontal lines (like a TV off station) for about 10 seconds then the computer restarts, which can be inconvenient! I have no idea which HDD I have or how exactly to test it or the RAM. Any advice/links would be helpful but I will start to search...

I currently have a 2008 vintage Toshiba laptop with an Athlon 64 dual core TK-57 1.9GHz processor with 2GB of RAM. Originally it had 32 bit Vista installed and I upgraded to Win 7 32 bit about a year ago without realising it had a 64 bit processor. So I was wondering whether I would see much...

That was the first thing I tried. Done a search online and there are a number of different method covering up contacts and using multiple cartridges to confuse the memory. It all boils down to HP's deliberate attempts to stop you using anything but their overpriced cartridges. I dont think I...
