  • Some Web pages won't load does not (hanging) in Firefox 6 and 7. No improvement in Mode without failure or clearing cache/cookies. Pages work fine in Chrome and IE and Firefox 5.0.1 on this computer and also fine load in Firefox 7 on other computers.

    On my main computer, Firefox 6 and 7 will not load some Web pages (redsox.com, for example - pages just block indefinitely). Boot safe mode does not help. I keep downgraded to 5.0.1 and loads pages very well; they charge both in Chrome and IE. In addition, pages loading in Firefox 7 on other computers, it seems to have a problem with this configuration/installation...have deleted the cache and cookies without improvement. Any advice?

  • Some projects won't load does not, first Elements 4

    At first, my projects worked very well. I was in the middle of working on a particular project before decide me, ' Hey, we're going to upgrade the computer!

    Now, some projects simply won't load. I click on the project, and all I get is a blackened by window with the text "user interface initialization" below left. It never initializes.

    It is when I have the chance. Sometimes, all crashes with just a few "the first meeting with a serious error." It does not freeze, cause the program is able to create a backup before its closure, so I think that there is some kind of conflict. But for the life of me, I can't understand it.

    The only thing that is changed from then to now is I now version 64-bit instead of 32-bit windows. Graphics card is the same, the memory is the same, everything is the same. That's all just a new installation of windows.

    It cannot be just a general incompatibility, because some projects take very well. It's completely random those who, although they tend to be small. (a few small projects is loading)

    I had to reinstall first but who usually solves problems not create.

    Some things I've tried:

    Clear cache

    Removal of the preferences

    Relocation of

    Disable hardware acceleration

    programs to disable my anti virus (AVG and Spybot 2.0)

    Compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 2 AND 3

    Give administrator privileges

    It is the only open application

    politely asked

    This software has been my companion software edition for years. I need to understand what got so weird since the 64-bit update.

    Specifications of the computer:

    Radeon 6670

    8 GB memory

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Processor Intel i5 3401

    ASUS Micro-ATX Motherboard

    All my drivers are up to date. Quick time is updated. Flash is up to date. The Cree program open when the draft takes over and works like a charm. So, what gives?

    Red truck inc.

    I have the first Elements 4 in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 64bits. No problems. In the properties/Compatibility tab, I leave "run this program in compatibility mode for" unchecked. I have to right click on the first Elements 4, select run as administrator, even though I have worked for a user with the privileges of the administrator account. Then, focus on the angle of permissions a little more.

    With the thought of the possible remains of incomplete install or reinstall, you did just uninstall, ccleaner Cross (parts regular and register of vacuuming), reinstall?

    Is this video card Radeon 6670 only video card that has the computer? Are you on any network? Do you run a system single or dual monitor on your Windows 7 64 bit?

    Just some thoughts for now.

    Later.

    After installing Firefox on Windows 7, mozilla site and the addons page 29 does not load correctly. Some such problem indicated in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/992362 and I tried all the steps but still does not work.

    OK Jefferson: did so. For those interested, my response on the other thread was:

    «After stared grumpily the computer screen for a while after you posted my message, I suddenly realized that, although it checked twice, the date was in fact erroneous.» For some reason, the date to yesterday - which is obviously where my mind was still, because when I saw the date I thought Yes, "it is the right date." After that I put today's date, the problem disappeared. Curious that this one small issue should cause such a problem "profound." Anyway, all sorted. »

    When I visit sites like jeuxvideo.com and joystiq.com, they displayed not correctly and never loading of Flash videos. I already uninstalled and reinstalled twice for version 9.0.1 without change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to ensure that I got rid of all the registry entries and the residual files.

    Alternatively, you can try to reset the preferences.

  • Windows Defender won't start does not automatically, it's because I use AVG anti-virus software?

    I recently downloaded the free version of AVG v.9, which seems to work very well. However Windows Defender no longer seems work fine, normally this is an error message saying that it does not work and I have to manually start even if I set it to start automatically. Sometimes it does not start at all.  Is it a problem because I use AVG and I have to run Windows defender, while running AVG?


    I got appreciatte all boards.


    Thanks J.

    AVG and defender in the face of a conflict between them.

    And even if you change Microsoft Security Essentials, it will turn off Defender, because it has its own integrated version of Defender.

    See you soon.
