Hello

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:

  1. Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

    • In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
  2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  4. 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:

    Hi subhshy001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Try this if you do not have

    Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

    If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

    Follow these steps:

    Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

    (1) open: Start Menu ,.
    (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
    (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

    There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

    Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

    OR

    Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

    If the steps above do not work then:

  • 8.1 Windows title bar flashing (and all other Office 365 home flashes when I stall Net Netgear software engineering)

    I have a problem with WIndows 8.1 THE flashing bar title, and all the other programs that I use as Office 365 programs they are all flashing and disturbing all the data, I'm typing. When it blinks, everything stops. At first I thought it was a Virus. But isn't. When it happened first I just installed router NETEAR and wet router preferences. Finally, the PC sled drops dramatically and the flashing worsened. I did a "Refresh" and the problem was solved. And then downloaded again 'Net genius' of NETGEAR the beginning of the whole problem. It is here where I m now. PC flashes! Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hi David,

    I understand that you are facing problems with Windows 8.1 after installing Netgear software engineering on the computer.

    This problem could occur if the software is not compatible with Windows 8.1, that the problem only occurs after you install the software, that's why I suggest you remove the software and install it in compatibility mode and see if it helps.

    For more information on installing the software in compatibility mode, please see the article below:

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    ** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.

    1. close all programs and stop the laptop.

    2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)

    3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).

    4. put the battery back and start the computer

    5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.

    6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.

    7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.

    Also update your graphics card drivers.

    It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!
