  Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

  You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

  Then perform the following steps:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

  In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox
  • Update your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

• When I click on a message "Sent", all the letters on the screen fades to opaque, an hourglass appears and nothing happens.

  When I open the window for all my "sent" messages and click on a specific message, nothning happens. Instead, inclusion on the list of "sent" messages fades an opaque and an iconn hourglass appears. When this happens, I can't close yet Thunderbird is reactivated. Sometimes if I wait until a minute or two, the message is displayed. I usually Ctrl/alt/delete and start all over again. This has only started happening in the last few weeks. During this same period, another problem appeared. I use google and Youtube to watch a lot of old TV shows. Now, Yahoo research appears, and results include things a lot, as I don't want to see. FYI, I use E-mail a lot, reception and sending messages up to a dozen a day.

  What is the folder "sent"?

  The "Sent" folder can get a lot of emails over time.

  Suggest that to remove anything you don't need. Archive of what anyone older than a month.

  implement 'Archive Options' to archive by month and keep the folder structure.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/archived-messages

  then select/highlight all the emails older than a month, they will appear as conversations in the messages pane. Click the "Archive".

  These e-mails will continue to be available in the archive file, but it will reduce the file size of the "Sent" folder

  If you have deleted e-mails from the "sent" folder, right-click on the folder and select "compact".

• HP 40GS stuck on the hourglass for the calculation of certain integrals

  So I used my calculator HP40GS for awhile, and I've never had problems with it.

  Recently, when reviewing for the examination of calculation AP, I noticed that the calculator could not do some integrals. Because I already went through the lesson using the graphing calculator calculators and integrals without problem using my computer, I don't think that there is nothing special about this one.

  One of the integrals in question is 3 * e ^(-x/2) * sin (2 x) on the interval [0,2].

  I tried to make the home screen capture (in the mode of operation):

  ∫ (0,2,ABS (3rd ^(-x/2) * sin (2 x)), x)

  The calculator has been blocked at least five minutes on the same screen with the little hourglass until I pressed on 'on' to force her to leave.

  Also, I tried to do this in CASE mode, using the manual view. This also does not work.

  Other calculators in the classroom (TI-83) did the integral almost immediately.

  My memory is not yet close to being complete.

  Is there something I could do or check to solve the problem? Other integrals seem to be more or less fine.

  Thank you!

  When you do digital integrals, some of them may take some time. On the 40gs and many other units of HP, the accuracy of the correction is what distinguishes the accuracy of assessment. Try to set the precision of DIFFICULTY 4 in the homescreen of modes and re-evaluate. I suspect that he will return very quickly. That should mean "exact to 4 decimal places.

  You can also try to do exactly in the CASE and then to assess the result. In many cases, it may be faster.

• flashing screen unable to do anything else apart from CTRL + ALT + DELETE 8.1 windows

  This morning, Toshiba Satellite C55 - starts ok. signs to ok. but the next screen blinks and the hourglass is NOT (circle thing) swirling around. Stops flashing for about 15 seconds and start again. The only thing I can do is CTRL ALT DEL any help or ideas would be welcome.

  In response to my post from 08:13 today. Have tried various ways one seen on the web many points. It is a common problem caused by many things according to what I read on the web. So I took my laptop to PC World and they told me that the flashing is caused by Norton. Basically, a clash of downloads from Microsoft that was huge yesterday evening and Norton do not receive the patch of security right in place beforehand. I know the result when I pick up my laptop. If I was more computer savvy I couldn't do it myself. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

• IdeaPad Yoga 13: start, stop, and touch screen problems

  Hi - I recently bought a Yoga 13 IdeaPad, and although I love the PC, I'm started having tons of problems with it. The computer now usually is blocked on startup and stop: choice of the option (from settings) closed generally won't hurt, and if to do this, it takes forever. Sometimes the power button stays on for 15 minutes after I turned off the computer, and the PC will not be restarted in this State. Yoga often does not start, just freezing on the start screen "Lenovo" flagged "Hourglass" of spinning. It took me several times and when it finally starts, the touchscreen is unresponsive for a while: I have to use the keyboard to drag it to the lock screen and log in. And while the PC has repeatedly sent in "automatic repair" after failing to start, repairs the problem.

  Someone at - it ideas? I'm at the edge of the fair return of Yoga, but I also love it and would love to keep it if these issues can be ironed out.

  Thank you!

• Black screen after reboot XP

  On my husbands computer all it can get after that restart is a black screen with the cursor showing, after it does appear the welcome with the blue bar of windows mobile screen.  The computer was working fine all day, he was doing research and everything froze, his slider when placed above the start button would show only an hourglass so that he could not restart normally must manually turn off the computer. After reboot, all he got was a black screen with the cursor showing, nothing else.  I tried to boot in safe mode and chose several options, but whenever he could bring up a black screen showing 'safe mode' in each of the corners of the screen and a set of numbers followed SP3 upstairs at the center of the screen, nothing else.   I couldn't do a system restore or anything whatever, and I suspect that the problem came from the last automatic update.  I see most of the questions on this help dealing with Vista, has anyone using XP Home figured out how to fix it yet.  It's almost 4:00 and I worked on this for the last 4 hours!

• My screen is sideways. How can I make up?

  The screen was blank except fo an hourglass.  I double clicked and the screen came back to the side, it rotates 90 degrees.  I would like to restore normal vertical position.

  Rotation of the image of the screen is a feature of the graphics card and is normally caused by accidentally pressing a combination of keys.

  To remedy this, hold down the CTRL and Alt and press among the four arrows (up, down, left, or right) until you have the correct way upward.

• Frozen on blue screen after asking to activate

  I just did a reinstall on Windows XP Professional, after that a virus wiped out my file on the Dell laptop structure.  Used a CD that was floating around my company because the OS came preinstalled on my laptop and the original disk is no longer with the computer.  Reinstall seemed ends without a hitch.  Request product key for activation.  Has taken the original product key from the bottom of the computer and it came.  Windows installs on a black allowing the screen with the words "Please wait...". "I waited for several hours without activity.  Reluctantly determined that it should be a hard reboot scroll down.  After that the Windows starts normally throughout the connection then it's loading settings personal personal settings / application, then a message saying: "this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log in.  You want to activate Windows now? "With the buttons Yes and no.  I click Yes.  The process is progressing towards a blue screen and an arrow with an hourglass, and then... nothing.  For hours if I let him.

  I know that I did wrong most likely restart activation hard while the process has been hung up.  I called technical support and keep getting transferred between Activation and technical support.  A fuzzy connection and the language barrier has led me to abandon the process after having been repeatedly asked what is the number of activation once I added the product key that I have not written down and can no longer access.  How do I advance beyond this point to fix the activation?

• Have a Windows update and my screens are all screwed up now, Please HELP!

  I am running Vista Home Basic and day before yesterday when I rebooted my computer, a Windows update itself installed. He said he was installing 1 of 1 files. I knew the idea of what the update was for, but when I brought my system to the top of the screen and all open windows, including web screens are all strange and almost hourglass like? I tried to restore my system to three times, tried to adjust resolutions and even settings on my old monitor and nothing works. It also seems that all icons and things are a little bit bigger and I don't see anything on the left and the right of my screen. Can someone help me? The only thing that seems normal is the password screen that appears when I turn on my computer before I get to my home page? Any ideas?

  Hi PVneedshelp,

  Welcome!
