browsers (IE8, Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera) 32-bit and Vista 64-bit
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion dv2842se. I've had a little more than a year. IE 7 was originally installed with a version 32-bit and 64-bit. Not long after that I got it, the 32-bit version stops working. More specifically, as soon as I open the program it would be closed and completely unusable. I couldn't understand the question, so I installed Mozilla Firefox 32 bit and just used that. When the update of IE 8 came out, I downloaded and still had the same problem, so I continued to use Firefox.
With the help of Mozilla has worked for me until about two weeks ago, when Mozilla started to become more and more reliable and now completely unusable. Assuming that it was a specific problem of Mozilla, I downloaded the 32-bit versions of Chrome and Opera and finished with all versions of four 32-bit navigation programs are the same.
I realize that I can simply use the 64 bit version of IE8, as I did since I have no choice. However, there is a big problem with this. IE8 does not support Adobe Flash Player, which is required to run virtually all Web sites - including on the main site I use for my college classes. As the main reason that I bought this computer was for College, my computer as a whole is pretty useless to me without a functional browser that supports Adobe Flash Player.
By the statement of HP, I tried to disable all add-ons, reset all internet settings and uninstall then reinstall Adobe Flash Player. I even on my own I've tried a system restore and scanned for viruses, spyware and software malware. Nothing has worked.
Please, please, please if there is absolutely everything I can do to restore my browsers 32 bit in a usable state, please help me. I really do not have the money to buy a new computer, and 64-bit operating systems are almost now - standard, so there is no saying that if I bought a new computer for the same thing does not happen everywhere.
Thanks for any help you can provide! It is much appreciated!
Hi guys,.
Paul - try to uninstall IE8 and run a startup repair. If the Startup Repair cannot take care of the problem, try to do a repair on the System Installation.

now, I'm using windows 7 Home Basic but in my google chrome and firefox does not please give me suggestion?
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
-
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
-
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
`
When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

Blocker is enabled in IE9, also tried Google Chrome and still get the pop up windows.
Blocker is enabled in IE9, also tried Google Chrome and still get the pop up windows. Popus mount on most but not all websites regardless of the browser used. Most are a square add in the lower left corner - some with a VCR command prompt. I don't know how to get rid of them. I was wondering that if I had a virus that is allowing them to appear - especially since I also noticed that when I click on the links on some Web sites, the link is instead directed to something more than one character of advertising and not where it was supposed to go. I use MS Security Essentials and also run Malwarebytes periodically. Aslso ran "Microsoft SafetyScanner" and no sign of a virus or malware. Someone at - it ideas?
Just for fun, take a look at this website because it has some great information for the verification of the malware, etc.. You may need to do your scans in safe mode.
