When a tab is opened, it does not overlap the screen im on.
So when I like to open another tab when I click a button, it does not overlap the screen, I'm on and if I click it, nothing happens, so I have to minimize and press tab to open it and when I click on the tab I am the last, it works fine but the other tab is not.
It seems that your browser runs slowly due to lack of memory (why a new loading tab so seems to freeze and can be thawed by minimize and maximize). This explains also why you can change to the previous tab, but not others; the last tab you used is still in main memory, while the other tabs should return loaded into main memory when you change their (as other data takes the place of the main memory).
So I suggest you try to restart Firefox (as some may have memory leaks) and closing other applications you have open (use the Task Manager to help if they are slow to respond). If you're still having problems, try closing using the tabs/windows less.
If you still have the problem, then you should try reinstalling Firefox (see uninstallation and installation).

I have a newish Vista Home Premium 64 NB and HAD no problem playing games, I played on my DT Pro XP until a few weeks ago. Now, when I go to open games, windows tells me that "there is a problem and needs to close the game" and "If a solution can be" it will inform me! Using compatibility, updated drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling have not worked. I do not understand why they worked very well and now they do not? Anyone have any ideas? It looks like my Direct X? changed to 32 bits, for some reason any-is it a problem? The Direct X is 64-bit? I also notice that it is very skittish about some other applications that I try to DL as well now - IE Puran Defrag. Thank you

Windows will not update the screen resolution and the color depth
Out of the blue today, my Windows XP installation had its color depth and screen resolution back to the lowest setting and whenever I try to update it refuses to put up-to-date.
I even try to restart my computer and a bubble appears downstairs offering reset the color depth and resolution to my automatically. When I click, it appears as if he's trying to return to normal, but again once nothing happens - the colors and the screen resolution is still at the lowest setting.
Can any ideas on how I fix?
Hello
Here are some things to try to fix it.
Change the screen resolution.
"How the resolution screen on Windows XP"
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Videocards/HT/screenres.htm
You can also right-click on an empty desktop > properties > settings > it the slider bar allows you to increase the resolution > Apply > OK > agree in the next window, etc.
If that fixed it, have damaged you graphic drivers.
Access the site on your computer or the manufacturer of the graphics card > look for a driver download Section > search for your model number and operating system > get graphics / video / Chipset Drivers (depending on how it is formulated) > download and install.
Change the screen resolution.
You can also try a system restore before all these problems started:

My KEY will not work for both windows 7 32-bit update and 64-bit version?
I have two, a copy and a key for the upgrade to Windows 7, 32-bit and 64-bit. (Key separately for each version, purchased about 6 months apart.)
The computer that is running the 32-bit version had a hard drive failure. After replacing the hard drive, I decided to install 64-bit on this computer using the key provided with the 32-bit version.
I was led to believe that the key is not related to the 64 or 32 bit version and that it could be used for both, but only installed at the moment.
After getting to step to enter the key, using the key provided with the 32-bit version, he couldn't say invalid key. After several attempts and checking of typo, it's a no go.
So, I went and started around and installed the 32 bit version and the key worked fine.
So the key provided with the 32-bit version of 'upgrade' tied to only this version? Every search I do, says that you can use the key for 32 or 64 bit. They never mention the version "upgrade" is different from the "full" version
Thanks for any info,
SDM
Because it is an upgrade version.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
So using phone activation is the work around:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
