Can I get Internet Explorer and Firefox both on my laptop?

  • I can not get internet explore and Microsoft word to stop the launch at startup.

    I looked at through these programs and autorun boot are not listed.  I checked the configuration and that they are not and I checked AVG and they do not appear as startup items.  They are not in my Start menu.  How can I get these programs STOP opening on startup?  I don't even use internet Explorer - I simply downloaded it once and now it keeps opening.  I used Word once of many weeks ago, and now it opens each time.  How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello Sarah133,

    In addition to the information that Amara has provided, please look at the suggestions below.

    You can check the boot in a few places by using MSCONFIG.
    ·       Click Start on your desktop
    ·       Type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    ·       Go to the Startup tab. There are options to enable all or disable all or you can uncheck a particular program.
    Check if WinWord is set to run at startup, if so, then uncheck the box.
    Now, restart the computer and see if the word appears at the start of your computer.

    You can also check the registry to see if it is set to run at startup.
    Go to the Start button.
    In the start search, type Regedit.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Please make a backup of ther registry before making any changes. Or you can create a system restore point.

    Now, you place the following keys.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

    Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

    If the word is in the list, then delete this registry entry only.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

  • Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead?

    Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead? That is, crashes, to stop, resarts and slows my computor. I installed Google Chrome and have had no more problems. It opens and closes when I want it and going to the Web pages as I type in without hesitation. I like windows 7, I only have a problem with Internet Explore. It also caused changes in my modem. I need to uninstall the software and reinstall to get it working again. IO would open that is and get a message that says "no internet access - check your settings, I thought it was a virus at some point. As soon as I started using Chrome, everything worked again. That is also caused problems with my printer and home network. I don't mind that is being stored in a file, I don't want to work and make changes to my computer I'm not an it expert by any means. I restored my pc to an earlier time and new conditions of factory several times in the past year (I bought the HP pc new in December 2010).

    It is not really a way to remove Internet Explorer.  I have not heard of the type of problems, you had with IE, but if you prefer Chrome and who works for you, all you need to do is to make Chrome the default browser.  I use Firefox and make it my default browser.  Once you make Chrome default you just leave Internet Explorer installed but it won't get used.  Following comes the site help Chrome and tells how to do it by default: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95417

  • How can I get Internet Explorer on my installation of firefox?

    I tried to remove the internet Explorer and it always seems to be a .exe file, that I can't find to remove.

    I installed firefox and already put it as my browser default, cleared my cache and cookies of all things in the thing (most) IE. Still firefox comes first, followed by a resumption of full screen by MSN, with a banner at the top that says: "replace Firefox with Internet Explorer, its faster and safer.

    My choice is Firefox, I tried MSN and cannot stand the tabloid more. Please, help me.

    Thank you, Evelyn

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

  • Internet Explorer and Firefox immediately the accident

    I have a Windows XP computer that has problems with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox webbrowser.

    Neither one will open the office shortcut menu or anywhere else.  When you double-click the icon of the hourglass will be pop up for a brief second or two, then stop.  If you try to double-click the icon of Firefox the second time, it evokes a crash report.  The pc has internet connection, I know this cause, we were able to get updares for Microsoft, Antivirus and a Malwarebytes program.  I also ran a virus and malware to see and both came back perfectly fine. It seems to me that it's an admin setting, as if the admin did not give other users rights to use, but it has begun since Monday and last Friday, they were able to use it normally.  They are on a field, at first I thought that this might have been a connection problem.  I wanted to remove the pc of the field and back, but did not know that the domain password and none made the worker.  Apparently they have a crew of tech OK but they never come down and they always use remote access to their problems (if you ask me which is pretty cheap).  So, without being able to check if it's an issue of domain, rights user programs or else I couldn't fix this pc last night and since then I'm going crazy to explain why this issue is not solveable yet.

    As I told my client last night, "I must get home and meditate on this one, it's a bit confusing... »

    But my question: is there a way to bypass the admin to check the settings of other users access rights to the programs?  Or is there a fix I could use to temporaily give rights to the user?

  • I am owner CS6 on my old laptop and that you can't find the disks.  How can I get it back and install on my new laptop?

    I have the serial number for CS4, and I have the box for CS5, but cannot find CS6.  However, CS6 is installed on my old laptop.  I'm moving to a laptop more recent and discovered the absence of records.  I've probably stored in my desktop and can't find them now.  In fact, the office is a disaster because my husband died and I can't find anything!  Oh well, maybe the printer, but that's all.  Any suggestions?  I don't want to start paying $50 a month for a subscription or even $20.  I want CS6 here.  Is there a download online for the owners?  I think I can get the serial number on CS6 which is installed on my old laptop.

    Once you could chat with a customer service representative and get this all straightened out.  Now I can only find help in forums.  If someone knows how to get through to a customer service representative, please let me know.

  • How can I connect Internet Explorer using Netgear WNDA3100VZ?

    I had some kind of virus that appeared in netbt.sys and mrxsmb.sys and other places. AVG it erased everything, but now I can not get Internet Explorer online.
    Firefox works fine. I use connection supplied with Netgear's wireless LAN adapter and drivers. I have a modem without border wire.

    In addition, it seems that AVG is good at eating/destroying this file. The following link mentions this problem:

  • I'm getting a new computer and he won't get any web browser preloaded software. Can I get a CD with Firefox to install?

    I have a new computer that does not have any installed web browser when I acquire. So, I can't download Firefox, say, by using Internet Explorer. Can I get a copy of Firefox on a CD and use instead.

    Hello, Lars.

    Although not related to your problem, I must remind you that the version of Firefox you are using right now has been deleted and is no longer supported. In addition, he has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and ease of use. You can get it for free, as always, to getfirefox.com.

    If you want to buy a CD of Firefox, go here. Remember that Firefox is free software, and you will pay only for the CD itself and the packages and ports. You can download Firefox from where you want, where you want, when you want, and you can share it with whoever you want, always. In my opinion, I think that you simply store the installer of Firefox in a USB key (download it from {[http://getfirefox.com| getfirefox.com], of course}) or a removable storage like this device and then reinstall it from there, the new computer.

    Also and by the way, what OS will? I can't think of any modern operating system that does not have a way to download the software immediately the bat. Windows comes with Internet Explorer, or with a way to download another browser of your choice, Linux has an absolutely brilliant software Center where you can type just Firefox and it will download and install the latest version of Firefox in two clicks (he's genius really), and I think that Mac OS X should have some sort of something like that also. In addition, it comes with Safari, I think. I don't know about Solaris, Unix and other operating systems like that, so I'm just curious.

    In any case, I hope this helps.
