I should have read more carefully, Brian. Firefox. Sorry!

Howard.. yes I agree nearly word for word....on both subjects...
Vista and Firefox..... and Brian... will be definite troubles if
simply dumping the C partition.... as drive wont boot to B....
plus... everything you have is working from the B drive......
so..... BIG problems...... don't even want to attempt
explanations.....way more difficulty involved that a simple
format,delete etc...... main reasons should not dual boot
replacements to current versions...... makes for messy
operations...... but thats my opinions.....Chuck

Hi Brian ... I think you may want to Google about removing
Vista from a dual boot with win 7. You may find that it will
leave some repair work to do in Win 7 after that is done. I
have never seen a computer with those 2 dual booting, but in
other combinations, some damage is done to the boot files.
I’m sure you will find someone who has done that.
As for Firefox, I (personally) don’t care for it at all. THAT
IS JUST MY OPINION FOLKS! I have heard good things about it,
but I have tried and don’t see faster, better, safer etc. etc.
... guess I go back too far to change much. I also don’t think
you can change the assigned letter of the system partition.
Just a quick note to give my opinion ...

Richard & Chuck,
Thanks for the replies.
First about Richard's suggestion.
I checked for the special Icon.
But I don't have this Icon in the the Firefox search bar; I
have this one
I did some checking and the mention of the ActiveX seemed to
be just related to IE.
So I thought maybe my IE web browser was causing the problem.
But when I looked at the search area in IE and hoovered over
the Icon it displayed this:
So I guess IE isn't causing the problem.
A few of the sites I looked at when checking ActiveX mentioned
that DOM Storage in Firefox could be a problem.
I then used about:config in Firefox to change the setting to
false to deactivate them.
But again the problem persists.
One thing for sure the problem is not with IE or Chrome browser.
This is a good example what the problem is doing only to Firefox:
This is the display of an Amazon web page using Chrome:
And this is the same page displayed in Firefox:
As can be seen, nearly all the graphics is gone from Firefox
and in fact, much of the text!
It make some web sites nearly impossible to navigate since one
can't see various options.
Like the missing down arrow in the Electronics box in Firefox.
I hope this may spark some further ideas about the cause and
solution to this issue.

Chuck, Yes, I sure agree that it is time to remove Vista.
I have been very cautious about making certain changes since
it like a medical treatment:
the cure can cause100 times more severe problems than one
started with.
I have found a way I think I can remove Vista, and would
appreciate if you think it is the way to go.
Vista is now on the C:\ drive and Win7 is on the B:\ drive
both on the same disk along with a Gateway recovery partition,
A:\.
My plan was to make a Vista image back up just in case, and
also do a separate back up of some other things not on Win7.
Then I would simply format the Vista C:\ drive using Win
Explorer hoping Win7 would revert to the C:\ drive where it
belongs.
_*
These would be the steps I would plan to take*_:
a. Boot into W7.
b. Click Start>Computer & check to see how many partitions you
have.
c. Identify the Vista partition
d. Right click on it>select Format>Start.
e. And in a few minutes I would hope Vista would be gone.
If you think that would work without causing more problems I
will add it to my to do schedule.

You need to allow ActiveX on those pages, Brian, or else you
will get that message. Look up at your bar where the url is.
see the little blue circle with the line through it? Click on
it and then click, "Turn off ActiveX filtering. You should be
good to go.

Hello to all TTT members,
I have encountered a problem that seems basic but I
simply can't solve it no matter what I try.
I hope someone has experience with this problem.
I am using W7 64Bit with Firefox.
The problem involves not being able to install Adobe
Flash Player.
When displaying web pages there are sections missing.
E.G, this message is displayed when I go to this site to
display a chart: *http://tinyurl.com/895j5ll*
So I then click the message and it displays this:
--------------------------------
Then when I click to find the missing Plug In it finds
it: Flash Player:
------------------------------------------------------------
So hopefully I click and expect it will install the plug In.
All looks promising as it starts to install. . . .
But then it stops updating and displays this message
stating that Firefox has disabled Flash:
----------------------------------------------------------------
/*Check Your Plug-ins
Keeping your third-party plug ins up to date helps
Firefox run safely and smoothly.
Missing FLASH?
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated
version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Adobe Flash Player
Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55 (7.74 MB)
It takes me to a Plug In page indicating the Java is
outdated so I update both the 32 and 64 bit version of
Java.*/
------------------------------------------
So I update Java but it didn't help at all; the same
problem exists.
When I try to install Adobe Flash Player this is
displayed and the entire cycle is repeated :
My system is a dual boot with Win7 and Vista; could that
be a problem even when only using Win7?
I hope someone has an idea what could be causing this.
Thanks for any help.
BRIAN
