Perhaps, you just need to wait for a while for Firefox download.

Perhaps, it is an extension/plugin slowing your Firefox.

When I close Firefox in the evening, it closes slowly and uses 50% of CPU. It unloads after several (30? 60?) seconds.

  • Whole computer freezes randomly. Browser hangs and then all websites load - Ctrl + Alt + Del then freezes

    This started happening yesterday for no reason. I start my PC, and everything loads very well. I then start my browser and after a few minutes of random browsing, the browser hangs and then it grey out and I get the thing "program not responding", but then I try ctrl alt delete to start the Task Manager to end, but it is not pop up. It takes literally like 10 minutes until that browser reactivates and then I can use ctrl alt del and terminate. Then I'm going to restart the browser and does not pop up. I constantly double click on it and he then decided to work a few minutes later, resulting in many browsers to launch at the same time.

    Sometimes when I'm not so lucky, the browser hangs and after awhile THE ENTIRE COMPUTER crashes and I have no choice but to hold the button to restart.
    I restarted in safe mode and it works quite well after that.
    I ran Malware Bytes and Norton and found nothing harmful to the computer. I also ran another virus scanner, I found on another forum (that they recommended) do not remember the name because I uninstalled it (don't like many antivirus installed at the same time), but it came back with nothing either. I have scanned even in safe mode - nothing.
    He has recently started to happen and I have nothing for this. The only thing abnormal I remember to do is to have to restart the computer by holding down the button when a game has crashed, and then when he asked me if I wanted to run windowed Windows or not, I assumed that the background choice was to function normally because that's what he's always been, but I chose something else and did not notice. It's a blank screen for a few minutes then loading started wondering if it was the start for the first time. I don't know what was going on so I held the button again and run Windows normally and he began to do this, but I really didn't know anything about him.

    Bruce:

    The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

    When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

    I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

    I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

    Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

    Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

    Thanks again,

  • Login screen will not Ctrl + Alt + Del with on screen keyboard (OSK)

    I have a Windows 7 Pro with a touchscreen monitor industrial machine (ok, actually I have 2). My intention is to use it without ever requiring a physical keyboard. It works perfectly, I've set the OSK up automatically on the screen what he does and I have absolutely zero problems with it. The other allows the OSK at startup, but when I Ctrl + Alt + Del does not save the delete key, any more than a certain number of other keys (pgup, pgdwn, home, esc, bksp, tab, insert, etc.). It's good to be something that I messed up, while the implementation, but I cannot for the life of me understand what I did and I absolutely need this feature.

  • Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool liquify (photoshop cc 2015): what should I do?

    Brush control with CTRL + ALT + click right + mouse/pen movement does not work with the tool of liquefy; I can't change the size of the brush or hardness. OS win 7 Professional 64 bit, wacom tablet intuos 6.3.14 - 1 driver s pro, Photoshop 2015 CC worm.  2015.0.1 20150722.r.168

    What are your settings of GPU acceleration?  As I understand it, the Alt right click size and hardness adjust needs acceleration GPU to be turned on, but I have a feeling Brush hardness is always set to easy when using fluidity.  You can still see the quick mask as representation of the soft brush when Alt right click, but you can't change the hardness.

    Is that you can change the brush size and pressure (framed in red in my screenshot) Alt right click drag left and right changes size and down to pressure changes, and you can see what is happening in real-time by looking at the sign on the right.  It works independently of your acceleration GPU (IME) settings, but you don't get the effect of soft red quick mask.

    Does this fit with what you see, or you are not able to change things at all?  If not, then I've always found that fluidity consumes system resources, if you could check the Task Manager > Performance tab to see what kind of RAM and CPU use is using the fluidity.  That's what I see after direction the lens above with a big brush continuously for 10 seconds.  Note This is on a fairly quick NLE System.

    Hi all

    I have a MacBook Pro for Windows 10 15 "Bootcamped retina.

    CTRL Alt Del does not, any more than the function keys (brightness, mute, etc.).

    I tried to manually reinstall the keyboard driver. It installs ok but does not solve the problem.

    On Reddit, a user suggested that another user with the same problem should do a Bootcamp driver repair.

    However, when I go in the Bootcamp Assistant I get only the possibility to restore the volume.

    My best guess is that the Bootcamp Driver repair fix it if I could access.

    Does not mention that this is the model of 2015.

    Hello

    Regards the FN keys will find it many other topics in the forum.
    Did you find them? Is there a solution for you?

    In any case, you must reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because both controls the FN keys. You can download all the tools on the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But for the Al-Ctrl-Del combination, there is no special driver but maybe it can be solved with these tools...

    Your system could be achieved a malware.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

    The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

    The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

    The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

    Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

    Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

    Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

    If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file.

  • Error NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart

    Hello

    I am extremely embarrassed to admit the following and ridiculously angry at myself for doing something completely stupid as I did, but's done it now... sigh...

    I have NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart error of nightmare.

    This is how it happened. I need (ed) to reformat my hard drive, but first I was going to save everything. I save every so often, that now, I'm not near as often as I should! (last to the top was sigh 21/05/07). Well, not to think, instead of backup, I put the recovery cd in the drive and the screen came up saying: "loading ramdisk" then I got to the next screen basically asking if I wanted to restore out of the box or not. I chose the first step of the wizard who said out of the box. Then I clicked NEXT and realized that I had not backed up my files! So I cancelled out of the restore cd Wizard.

    When I rebooted the computer, I got the error above nightmare.

    I did research for many, many hours on how to repair or at least be able to start windows. I did the following:

    1 creates a disk with ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini boot disk on it to restore, I all but I don't know if the dates say anything on those downloaded from another laptop

    It did not work I still came upward with the same error or some other errors one pointing to hal\something. I don't know if it's my boot.ini that causes the problem or what. Oh, by the way, I went into the BIOS and made sure the computer started up to FDD first when you try the floppy option.

    [boot loader]
    timeout = 30
    default = multi (0) disk (0)

    Hello

    It s a delicate and stupid situation.
    The simplest solution would be the formatting of HARD drive and new reinstallation of the operating system.

    But it seems you want to save all files available on the HARD disk.
    If all goes well it s not too late

    Hmmm. I think you have only one chance! You must remove the drive HARD internal of the laptop and try to connect it to the computer second external USB controller!
    This part is not expensive and can be ordered from each book.
    You should be able to get access to the HARD drive removed from the laptop...

    After this procedure, the HARD drive must be formatted as NTFS, and any partition must be deleted!
    Then you should try to start from the windows installation procedure or the restore CD.

    By the way; I study a little bit in the Microsoft database and found these two documents:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/318728
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314057

    Maybe some advice described in these documents may be useful.
