    Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

  • My firefox restarts my PC all the time.

    Hello guys

    My firefox restarts my PC all the time.  It just hangs everything on the computer and restarts without stopping. What to do?
    

    I formatted my computer and I can't use firefox. It restarts my computer all the time, lock screens, freezes and shuts down the entire system.
    How can I remove it and stop the problems I can work normally.
    Can someone tell me what to do? Why is this happening?

    Concerning
    Suzana

    Windows restarts itself could indicate a device driver incompatibility, usually associated with your graphics card.

    Instead to start Firefox normally, hold the SHIFT key to get the Security Mode/Reset dialog box and start safe mode. Then switch your acceleration hardware definition here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Safe mode automatically disables hardware acceleration, but this modification should enter into force when you quit Firefox and then start it again normally.

    Any improvement?

  • Why is is necessary to "Refresh" FF50 whenever I restart my computer

    Recently, I've migrated to FF50 on my machine Windows 10. I find now that whenever I restart my computer, FF50 'hang up' and will not operate. The solution seems to be to open the troubleshooting feature and call option "Refresh" (which of course sweeps a lot of critical presets such as the web pages that popup blockers are allowed, etc.).

    Why is this happening? What should I do to cause FF50 stay functional through a reboot?

    Thank you, can you please try the following configuration changes and see if it improves the page load problem: enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2. Double-click it and change its value to false , then restart firefox once for this to take effect.

  • A project that I created is no longer works.  All video clips .mpg who ask to be reimported, and when I try to import from its original folder, all the files are slim.

    I currently have iMovie 10.1.2 and OS 10.11.6.  All except a video clip in a compilation of long hours are black with an exclamation mark.  They have the error statement, that the file is missing, re-import the original source media.  The clips are all .mpg and had imported fine when I created the film project of the month of May.  When I try to use the function "Import Media" drop, and I go in the folder on the desktop files located in, all the original .mpg files are low.  The two pictures that were in the project appear on the lower part.  Oh, and I did all that stored on the cloud.  I also wanted to start a new project, part II, but all the source files show a similar dim for all .mpg files.  Apple decided not to allow the .mpg files in iMovie?  If so, what is my next step?

    iMovie accepts more mpg files. The easiest way to work with them is in the finder do a right-click on the mpg file and select "encode the selected video files. In the dialog box that appears, choose the desired conversion. The converted file appears in the import iMovie window, and you can import it.

  • I downloaded an update and restarted my computer, received the blue screen of death shortly after the computer restarts. Now it does not start

    I don't know when the downloaded update, the computer has been restarted on September 10, 2010 to install updates. Shortlyl once the computer is restarted, I got the blue screen of death.  with the details of error like:

    Stop 0 x 000000050 (0 x 000000000000000, 0xFFFFF88001DCAE4, 0xFFFFF8A00B490027, 0 x 00000000000002) do not know if the number of zeros is exactly right in one of those, but it's super frustrating.

    I tried to restart my computer in repair as recommended (get blue screen of death), I tried to reboot normally, loop just restart procedures asking if I want to restart in repair mode.  I tried SafeMode (BSOD), I tried to restart with last working restart (restart loops), I tried to choose the "Computer repair" BSOD I tried a diagnosis and all past.

    Help!

    Thank you.

    So yes actually hear nothing helped me.  Seems that, given that the computer is not stopped correctly and my hard drive was not recognized there starting the cycle upward or give me the BSOD.  Put it in my Ubuntu CD spare which I've had since my last PC hard drive became corrupt and force back across my hard drive.  After doing this, I was able to do a boot repair, who led for the BSOD.  Not sure how that actually fixed, lost about 10 hours of my day.  So I guess I can chalk up to Microsoft and a reminder on why I should buy Mac for now on... an update shouldn't really cause such problems.

    I get that not everyone has the same PC, so it is difficult to tell if an update is bad, but he should not do this and if an update is the cause of a certain segment of consumers who are updating must be taken down for everyone, or at least the users with the configuration that is known to have problems with an update.

    Problem is solved, had to go back to a previous version of good boot where I have not install updates again.  Now, I'm trying to understand who was was bad, so I can leave my computer knows to ignore.

    Nice day.

    Hey YANKEEGRL

    Please do not post in all capitals

    If you restart you want to go towards the rear for so that it starts

    If it does not start you have a major problem

    reset is stop and restart your computer

    If you mean something different by restarting explain it

    and read this on the resolution of the screen

    try to get your site in manufacturere graphics or computer cards and find the driver download section

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

    Text and images are sharper and smaller at high screen resolutions
    Text is larger and easier to read at low screen resolutions, but images are rasterized and number of items adapted to the screen
    1. Open display settings by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click appearance and personalization, clickingPersonalization, and clickingDisplay parameters.

    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then clickApply.

    Notes

    • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

    • When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it will not support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor returns to the original resolution

  • Is it better to leave my computer all the time, it starts once a day... or restart 2 - 3 times a day when I use it?

    I wonder if that makes a difference in the wear and tear on the computer the frequency at which it turned itself off and then restarted.

    Why do you want to start it 2 - 3 times a day?
    Do not use it, you can put in stand-by or hibernation!

    Unless you absolutely must re-boot, you can use alternatives.

  • Restart the computer all the time

    Until now, whenever I'm trying to connect to my computer, the loading screen takes about 20 seconds or so it freezes and restarts. I am aware that it is an error 0 x 00000050 SRTSPL64. SYS. I know that it involves with Symantec Endpoint Protection. Only security programs I have are MSE, AVG trial/Tracker, Malwarebytes and McAfee Security Scan Plus TDSSKiller. What should be my solution to stop having my computer restart every 20 seconds when I connect normally? I use Mode safe mode with network now.

    I already removed threats to my computer yesterday, but I'm guessing it's incompatible programs between them. I'm not sure that I need and don't need not :/
