cannot click and drag a firefox tab to make a new window
in the old days this used to work. you click on a tab in firefox and drag it to the desktop and it creates a new window with the selected tab. the animation of the tab flying throught the air while being dragged is still there, but release of the mouse causes the tab to “fly” back to its original wi…
i just figured out what the problem was. if you enable the “titlebar” in firefox’s “customize…” window (it is a checkbox at the bottom) then the traditional window titlebar appears (with the buttons on the left) and the click and drag thing works. who knew?
fax modems were developed decades ago. their design makes use of the fact that fax signals are merely audio tones sent along a normal telephone line, so re-designing a regular data modem to also be able to send faxes using the same phone capabilities was relatively simple.

these days you can buy a data modem either as an external box that connects to your computer via a port and cable, or as a card you can install in a pci or pcie slot. then you connect it to a phone line. becasue the addition of fax capabilites became so easy and commonplace, almost all data modems actually include that feature and are sold as fax modems. the drivers supplied with them allow your computer to use either type of service. many people do not install one of these because they have no intention of using a modem on a phone line - they prefer much faster data rates available by connections though the internet. so, unless they need fax abilities, nobody uses them anymore.

your interest seems to be mainly sending (and receiving?) faxes, and perhaps not even trying to use a data modem. current versions of windows make this really easy - you will not use your old winfax pro. windows includes all the tools you need to receive faxes in various ways, depending on whether you want your machine to always watch for incoming faxes, or only when you turn on the feature. for sending a fax it's even easier. windows always includes a system that makes a fax sending unit appear to be just another printer. you can "print" to that printer just as any other. when you do that, a window pops up to let you set a few parameters and then its sends the fax for you. it even includes a little utility to keep track of fax numbers that you can send to.

i used a fax modem infrequently on my last machine, and i really liked it. for one thing, the fax the recipient gets is really clean and readable, with no distortions or dirt specs caused by scanning. (actually, you can scan a document and then "print" it as a fax you send to someone.) but i used it rarely, and in my new machine there is no spare pci slot for the fax modem, so i never moved my old one to the new computer. well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. Go to the control panel and check the mouse settings and click on defaults to reset the settings if ever someone changed it! I had the same problem a couple of months back. Now if this is happening only with Chrome and not with other browsers, then the problem cannot be a virus. But it can be a virus if other browsers and programs are facing equal problems.  
  
So, with chrome as we all know there is a memory problem. So to solve that follow these simple steps.  
  
1. On the top right menu icon, select History  
2. From there select "clear browsing data"  
3. It will prompt for the time span, there you select "beginning of time"  
4. You might lose few data like saved passwords, favorites, but no data will be removed which are saved properly.  
  
After you are done with this, clean your system with Disk Cleaning Software. While doing this don't keep any browser window open especially Chrome.  
If you notice, it is skipping out the Chrome from the list, you have to select the program manually and click on "clear".  
  
After this restart your system and see if it works. If it doesn't then you have to undergo the entire process of uninstalling and re-installing Chrome. You can detect the browser in use and display the message. You can even have it hide the page content unless the browser used is Internet Explorer. However, there's no way to use JavaScript (or any other web dev. code) to open a completely separate program.



If you are really determined, you might try looking into something that indirectly opens another program through an object or applet of some kind, like flash or Java applets. I don't think you'll find anything, though.



If this were possible, it would be a security problem. Consider the situation if IE had a known exploit and it were possible to force a page to open in IE regardless of the browser it was originally opened in.



I recommend fixing your site. It's not that difficult to develop pages that work everywhere. If I develop pages in accordance with the W3C recommendations, they work pretty well in Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. Then it's not too difficult to tweak them to work in IE. I've found that doing it the other way around, targeting IE first then tweaking it to work in other browsers, is much more difficult. Pages that require Microsoft ActiveX plugins are an exception of course, but I think it's well worth the time to find an alternative.

is there another way to zip off a chapter with the new version of bookdown? alternatively, how would i revert to the previous version?

this is a pretty specific use case and don't know yet about. so i don't think you can "zip" the way you want

You have to install another operating like Windows XP or Vista and then you will be able to use the net. If you have not done this before, you should propably find someone who has to help you. nothing missing - just different:

1.  transfers are still linked.  enter one side of the transfer and in the category drop-down, select transfer > [other account].  changing either of the two entries modifies the other.

2.  multiple registers at the same time.  you can have every register open at once in its own window.  only one register at a time shows in the main window.  just double-click the account in the left panel to open a floating register window.

3.  move transactions between accounts.  with both registers displayed, drag the transaction from one to the other.  if it is a downloaded transaction, you'll get a warning.  you cannot, however, move transactions between investment accounts. Hi


Normal behavior is that when you are using a tool, and then press and hold a shortcut key while you use another tool, Photoshop will jump back to the first tool when you release the key.


 


I watched your video, and this is not what is happening to you — you are releasing the keys. Two thoughts for trouble-shooting purposes:


* Can you try another keyboard?
* Can you try with a mouse?
* Have you tried resetting Preferences? This is different from uninstalling and reinstalling. Go to Prefs > General and click Reset Preferences on Quit.


Maybe another volunteer will have other ideas if these don't work.


 


~ Jane You were unfortunately fooled by the marketing. The actual updated Lightroom is called Lightroom Classic. It is exactly like you remember with a develop panel, ability to print, etc and will behave and work like the Lightroom you are used to. What you likely installed is a port of the mobile operating system version of Lightroom to desktop operating systems. Adobe calls this Lightroom Desktop which is extremely confusing. What you want to do is to call adobe and transfer your subscription to Lig...
