• Extremely slow to open Web pages.

  My PC Dell 2 years contains Microsoft Windows XP Home Service Pack 2, with a processor Intel Pentium 4 3 GHZ processor and 504 MB of RAM; and I installed Norton Internet Security 2010.
  In the months it has become increasingly slow to open web pages, and in particular one I opened after the connection. This page now takes about 2 minutes to open, and then another 30 seconds before the download links and I have my slider control.
  I delete my files and cookies every day and I clean the disk and defrag every week, but nothing I try will speed up performance.
  A couple of days, I ran 2 scans of Registry Cleaner programs, and both indicated that I had literally thousands of flaws, including registry entries. Residual unwanted files; Elements of privacy; Bad Active X; and not optimized Performance characteristics.
  I considered buying one of the registry cleaners, but did a little research and found that they could cause even more problems that I currently have.
  I am somewhat a novice in the computer game, and I hope a kind person might explain in layman's language what is wrong and how I could fix it (easily).
  A big thank you to you all.

  Hi Malkeleah:
  My deepest apologies for not responding to your more sooner - my wife and I went away for 10 days just after your reply and when we arrived home I found myself with a virus, but I don't think I caught the computer!
  Both myself and this machine of circuits, wires and chips (or other) are now back to normal, and as promised, I'll give you a walk through of what has past. (will probably not be in the right order, but you'll get the gist of it, I'm sure). Son of my co-worker was the computer expert who got everything running.
  Basically, what he was doing was: remove all unnecessary programs that were run in the background. uninstall Norton 2010 SS and replace it with McAfee Security Suite (linked to the BT Net Protect Plus); Remove my 504 MB of RAM and replace it with 1.24 GB of RAM; back up everything I had in my computer on a flash drive. delete a lot of unnecessary programs from Windows; close the whole 'thing'; and restart using the 2 CD from Dell. There are other things that I'm sure he did, but I just don't remember.
  Thus, in a Word, my friend, this little baby now works as a Cray computer (starting & closing and opening web pages, all now faster than a bullet speeding - well, to me anyway).
  Malkeleah, as I said, the sequence, I gave you is probably all out of sync, and I realize that you're not a fan of McAfee, but my young friend knew a lot more than me and Philadelphia lawyer I was talking, and everything that has happened wonderfully since its development.
  Thanks a lot for your help. My apologies again for not having affect earlier; and if I ever need your help once again, I know how to get in touch.
  Sláinte!

• Firefox 5.0.1 open Web site automatically to a new tab from time to time which is very annoying

  I have Firefox version 5.0.1 on MS windows XP. My problem is that Firefox opens a Web site automatically in a new tab from time to time, which is very annoying.
  I scanned my computer against virus and malware using a lot of programs, but this has not fixed this annoying problem.

  Web sites that open automatically are:

  No idea how to solve this problem?

  This will stop and remove netcut and the problem of redirection.

• After update I can not open Web sites other than facebook and youtube on my mac? Help! He says: connection refused.

  Hey after update of OS X El Capitan my laptop is unable to connect to internet via wifi except a few sites as Facebook and Youtube other than that none of the Web sites open on one of the browsers I tried to reinstall it but nothing happened, wifi works fine on all my other devices and internet are functioning normally If I connect to my mac on a LAN Port. Help why this phenomenon happens?

  Open System/Network preferences window and click on the Advanced button.  In the next window, click on the DNS button and see what is listed as a DNS server.

  You can try to use the OpenDNS servers by entering these two addresses:

  208.67.222.222

  208.67.220.220

  Save the changes, restart and relaunched Safari.  If you delete these addresses the default address will be back.

• No sound when using Firefox Hello despite Firefox playing audio files in Web sites correctly...

  I tried to use Firefox Hello to a conversation with my mother, who also uses Firefox. She could not get any sound, just the video image, despite the volume being defined properly controls. The microphone settings are correct, and in fact, I tried to call using two different computers but with the same result every time. I used successfully for a conversation with someone different. We all have two Windows 7 Professional v36.0 Firefox

  My mother is able to listen to the audio tracks in websites using Firefox but I don't hear a thing in Hello, what makes all this seems quite strange.

  Happy to say everything works now. Nothing has changed, so why it wasn't working the other day? One of life little mysteries but work he does, which is all that matters.

• Firefox does not open Web/answer pages. (With the help of: MacBook Pro)

  When I open FF on my Dock, nothing happens and when I right click the icon, it states that the "application is not responding." I tried to restart my mac and the audit of the software updates. Nothings working. Can you help me?

  You can create a new Firefox profile? See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager

  If it does not either, you could drag Firefox out of the Applications folder and in the trash, then download a new copy of mozilla.org/firefox/new and reinstall.

• El capitan extremely slow on end of 2013 iMac, especially at the start (5 minutes)

  Hello

  Recently, I went from an iMac end 2006 (installed 10.7.5) to a new end 2013 iMac (with el capitan) using the migration wizard.

  My new iMac literally crawls at the start: before being "usable", it takes all five minutes to present the elements of office and start (I only dropbox, 1Password, Alfred littlesnitch enabled and I cleaned all the startup and user logon items old and systemic); After this the iMac works very well, even if it's not lightning fast I must say (looks like a little lag is present for each new task: opening applications, files and so on).

  As soon as the iMac starts a time machine backup is started automatically.

  I used etrecheck and nothing significant has shown and also one of the @linc scripts used to test the system (unfortunately, I'm not really able to fully understand the results, but perhaps that something is 'locked'...).

  Console is spammed with messages, especially at startup but projector not only in regard to, mds, xpc...

  I will post any other relevant information as requested, if anyone is willing to help.

  Thanks in advance

  Ciao

  Without posting actual results Etrecheck and/or Linc-script, nobody will be able to guess what is happening.

• Hi, after updating to Firefox v 10.0 I can no longer open Web sites by entering the address in the address bar. The site looks ok because it works in the Solution Explorer, what's the problem?

  I get the adresse_web in the toolbar, but Firefox does nothing, it just locks. It only opens Web sites when I choose one of the Favorites.

  This problem may be caused by an extension (possibly AVG Safe Search) which does not work properly.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

  Hi pattscarpenter,

  Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft Community. Looks like you get the message not responding when you try to open multiple Web sites.

  Answer these questions that will help us provide a better solution:

  1. where exactly do you get this error message?

  2 have had any changes made to the computer before the question?

  3. what browser do you use?

  Try the steps if you get the message of Internet Explorer:

  Method 1:

  If Internet Explorer stops responding on a regular basis, common causes include the presence of spyware, an add-on, a computer virus, or a corrupt file that tries to access Internet Explorer

  What to do if Internet Explorer stops responding

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-to-do-if-Internet-Explorer-stops-responding

  Method 2:

• How to open 2 sites on start and 1 Web site when you click the home button?

  How to open 2 sites on start and 1 Web site when you click the home button?

  You can change your shortcut on the desktop Firefox with two starting URLS. To try:

  • Shortcut on the desktop: right-click on the icon, choose Properties
  • Icon taskbar pinned: clic click right on the icon, right click in Mozilla Firefox, click on properties

  Windows normally selects the shortcut tab. If this is not the case, go ahead and click on the shortcut tab.

  You will see the target highlighted. On 64-bit Windows, which is usually either not less the following:

  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
  

  For the specific shortcut launch pages, you can add them to the end, for example:

  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -url "http://www.dilbert.com/" -url "http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine"

  After OK'ing the Properties dialog box, you can test everything right now to confirm that Firefox is now launching a window with tabs. Either:

  • Double-click the shortcut on the desktop
  • right click on taskbar icon pinned, click Mozilla Firefox

  Who do you want?
