Faith ,'Get It Done'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Go to View ---> Customize Toolbars, then select "dock"Yup, went there, and the only things that have the check box for "dock" are Standard & Formatting. Nothing for formula bar in that window at all.
The little floating window can be opened from the view menu. And close it. But it still stays semi-translucent and floating.
weird.
I guess what I did was dock it at the top of the screen and it has stayed there ever since. I don't know about the translucent issue.
how irritating.
how irritating.Yes! And with two screens, the spreadsheet is on one, and the formula bar is on the other.
Thanks for trying. Glad to know I'm not missing something simple.
I had something similar happen recently and I restarted the computer and it went away.
Is there a way to tell iPhoto "You already imported these, please stop asking about them"? The latest iPhone update is making iPhoto think it hasn't imported any videos off this phone.
Hivemind diagnosis help? I run Firefox on a Windows XP system at work. Every day around 1pm I have to restart the machine because my internet is getting annoyingly slow. Just rebooting Firefox doesn't help; I have to restart. The IT guy who looked at it couldn't find anything and told me I had too many tabs open in my browser (I usually have 3 open constantly: work email, yahoo mail, and gmail, and then anywhere from 1 to 10 others depending on what I'm working on; when I have a lot of tabs open it is because I am USING THEM FOR WORK.) I only use one Firefox extension (Fireshot Pro). Ideas as to what this might be?
flea, this is a complete stab in the dark, but is your XP system up to date with service packs and updates?
Also, what version of Firefox? I think newer versions should be better for your problem.
Oh, this is fun (for me, anyway) - when Firefox is slow, try opening the Windows Task Manager (Do a Ctl-Alt-Del, then click "Task Manager") and look for anything weird. Click on the Processes tag and see how much CPU Firefox is using. Then click on some stuff on Firefox and check Firefox's CPU usage again. This will tell you if it's really Firefox that's slow, or if something else is going on.
You might try using the Flashblock add-on. I found that some web pages that use a lot of Flash (even for ads) can slow things down.
I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.9 (I was at 3.6.6 I think) so I hope that will help.
I don't have any control over XP patches - that is something IT controls, and supposedly keeps up to date, but I have no idea. (I don't have admin rights.)
I have 48 processes. Is that normal? The only one using more memory than Firefox is Rtvscan.exe, which seems to have to do with a Symantec virus scan thing. Is that supposed to be so huge?
48 processes is not out of line. Symantec definitely can slow things down pretty significantly. Do you have enough access to shut down and restart the virus software?
