The name of the program is Icon Restore, recommended by Ravencajun in 2010.
As to spell check, in XP I had a icon (symbol) in the Google toolbar that I could check to review my work when I responded to a message for example in the forums.
As to saving the address, I get that message on the bottom of my computer, asking me if I want the computer to save the address in the computer. I then am suppose go to tools, to internet option, to connections then to a box (which I do not have) to ok the request.
Hope that clears up the questions.

try going to Start, Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer, click the "+" sign next to My Computer, "+" next to Local Drive - C, "+" next to Windows, click the word System32, on the right side of the screen - double click sndvol32.exe. That should install it. or you can do a search for sndvol32.exe and double click it. this is where to find what you were looking for control panel>sound and audio device and check the button "place volume icon in the task bar" try this first. if those do not work then go here and read the replies in the post replies #2#3 tell how to replace the needed exe file.

Hi mariend, I see what you mean...there is no message box on the thread from Jan 20. The GW Gremlins must have been upsetting things that day or something. Here is a link that might be useful: Question About Desktop Icons

Try this, Launch the HP QuickPlay application. Almost all HP laptops have the program pre-installed. If for some reason you don't have the program, you can download it from the HP website (hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html). Click on the "Music Videos Pictures" icon in HP QuickPlay. HP Webcam will be available among the list of devices. Click on the "HP Webcam" button to turn it on. A light next to the webcam lens and an image will appear on the screen.

ok first of all if you actually had got firefox all you would have got was firefox so if you got something that put a bunch of other stuff on your desktop and elsewhere then you got a bad link that was not the legit firefox download. Try to do the restore as Joe said before you installed the firefox. either way you need to run an updated malwarebytes scan immediately. I would also run a free updated superantispyware scan. You obviously have downloaded malware that is now taking over parts of the pc and affecting your pictures and files. We recently had some posts on how careful one has to be now when doing downloads because even sites that once were safe to download from are no longer trustworthy and we are seeing a lot of people ending up with something other than what they wanted. Do you remember where you got the download for mozilla firefox? Malwarebytes SUPERAntiSpyware both are free install update and run full scans let us know what was found.

When I went looking for info about Icon Restore, what I found indicated that it is old software no longer being updated by it's creator and does not work reliably on a 64-bit system (your win 7 is probably 64-bit but your XP computer was not).

I had to go back to IE (which I almost never use) to discover that it does not HIGHLIGHT a spelling error in a forum post. Firefox does, which is one of several reasons why I don't want or need a toolbar. I have never needed a toolbar in a browser...they take up space unnecessarily, are confusing and not all that reliable and in general just a big pain. You would do well to learn to live without one, in my opinion. I suspect that spell check is in the toolbar...you just haven't found it yet.

When you say saving the address...I think you mean saving the address of a web page in Internet Explorer... then you should enable the MENU BAR and learn how to add-delete-organize web pages in your FAVORITES MENU.
