  • Why my windows keep freezing?

    Why my windows keep freezing? It's funny because it started to happen after I replied to a few things about illuminati on youtube. But after that, it kept saying error post comment. So I disconnected my account and connected to another one of my accounts, and he says the same thing, so I decided to restart my computer. As soon as he started upward, my request of palringo has started up, and he stopped to load my messages. Then the screen froze, I waited 5 minutes, then held the power button and turned it off, then power on. Done that 4 times more, then finally, it got to the point where the 6th time the only thing that was frozen was the taskbar at the bottom with the Start button and the basics of microsoft security date and time which not. in any case, I could use the rest of my computer, to the point that when I opened internet Explorer, it froze. 7th time... I had taken a break before I'm back and tried this time, and it was a weird breakup cause that is also a lot of things that never happened before, but it finally worked. But my volume control panel went 'again' and it is not picking up my card soundblaster, which idk if the driver went for her or what. But I would like to help with this and perhaps a reason why this happens. I didn't download anything since the last time I have shut down my computer, everything works fine every start until this afternoon when it happened with youtube. idk if it was a virus, hacker or what.

  • Why did Windows 7 freezing when using Firefox?

    S ' went for months now with many attempts to identify the cause. Came to the conclusion that it is Firefox but can't understand why.
    -If you use Firefox, my whole PC, not only Firefox freezes. Sometimes in the first 5 minutes of use of Firefox, other times it can happen an hour in a session. A hard reboot is the only way to get back to my Office I waited an hour before, after a freeze and nothing happens. The mouse pointer move, nothing.
    D ' first thought it was a hardware problem or a problem of antivirus protection.
    -Reinstalled windows on three different hard disks that all have the disk check. Still happens
    -Installed windows 8 to see if this could solve the problem. Nope, did the same thing on Windows 8.
    -Ran Memtest 86 + 14 hours overnight to see if it was my memory. No, zero found errors of memory
    -To be sure I even tried to use only a strip of ram in my PC at the same time to see if the chopsticks were bad. No, it froze with each stick
    -Tried to change my anti-virus. He froze with every single one, AVG Free, Avast free, Microsoft Security Essentials.
    -J' realized that my PC freezes only when I'm on the web in firefox. If I use chrome or Internet explorer, it doesn't happen. These total PC freezes happen when I use firefox.
    -My only adds on / plug that I use is Adblock more and more those who come with default Firefox.
    -My firefox is updated, I reset and reinstalled [everything by adding only Ad Block +] and again, this does not solve the problem
    -In the event log window, the only thing that happens every time my PC freezes is the error "Session"Microsoft Security customer OOBE"stopped because of the following error: 0xC000000D", why this would affect Firefox, I don't know.
    -I would like to understand the cause of this because I really want to use Firefox again.

    I finally understood that Firefox isn't the problem with this problem, but it's actually the Nvidia drivers. It's a shame as Nvidia pushes the hard driver updates. Drivers to eliminate this problem are 314.22. After you have uninstalled the latest drivers and replacing them with 314.22 I did have the problem at all in any program, including Firefox.

    Here's a thread from Nvidia on the issue.

    https://forums.GeForce.com/default/topic/596642/GeForce-drivers/please-help-event-ID-14-from-source-nvlddmkm-cannot-be-found/2/

    I had to replace a lot of my material before I figured out it was the Nvidia drivers because I don't have the correct error message on my old set up which pointed me in the direction of the video card.

    If someone has this problem I highly recommend demotion to 314.22 driver version if you have a Nvida GPU in your system.

    I'm very disappointed in Nvidia for not solving this problem after 15 + updated since 314.22 driver.

  • If I let the the mouse pointer over the taskbar, it freezes and I can't move.

    original title: freezing of funds...

    If I left click on the desktop and then click on the task bar when I got on my pc and leave the pointer from there in the taskbar until the next time I use my computer, it works well. If I let the pointer anywhere on the desktop when I finished work and the mouse pointer will freeze right where he is and I have to restart maually in order to release it. I never met this case in the 20 more years that I have been using a pc.

    I downloaded and ran spybot search and destroy program majorgeeks.com and it fixed my problem of gel. I don't know what he did to take care of it, but it does the trick.

  • Why my taskbar sucks 16 pixels each time when I restart my computer?

    Hello world!

    My OS is WinXP sp3, I drag my task bar to the right side of my screen, in order to show the date, I resize the toolbar 3 times of the original height (in fact, it is the width, after I drag the taskbar on the right side) and block it. Then comes the strange, I restart the computer, the taskbar remain to the right of the screen but its shrinks the size, only 2 times the width of origin on the left, the date is not visible... I try to resize the taskbar to 4 times the original width, restart the computer it shrinks to 3 times... then I restart again, it reduces to 2 times... and then I restart again, he stayed 2 times the width of origin. How can I keep the taskbar (3 times of the original width) size?

    Another strange phenomenon is that I can't resize my taskbar permanently - I drag the border to change the size of the taskbar, but the change in size by time of 16 pixels, for example, the size (width) can only be16 pixel, 32 pixels, 48 pixels, 64 pixels or 16 * N pixels... Are there solutions to solve this problem?

    All experiences are made while the taskbar is on the right side of the screen.

    I'm waiting for your help, thank you!

    Gavin

    Hi Kim,

    Thank you very much for your help!

    The solution that you referred no longer works...

    I did a lot of experiments to solve problems, and I understood the reason why I can't changed the size of the permanence of the task bar after I drag it to the right of the screen and the toolbar shrinks itself. All the problems are caused by the language bar, a toolbar that indicates which method of type entry or keyboard that I use, close the status bar (I often have to switch input methods)... If I do not dock the language bar in the task bar (or disable the language bar), then I can change the taskbar size permanently, and the toolbar is no more afraid!

    The problems have been resolved by the sacrifice of convenience to indicate the methods of entry.

    Thank you once again! And I hope that what I found can help people who get the same problems.

    Gavin

    PS. Yet, I don't know why the language bar can cause problems... It is perhaps the question now...

  • Why my taskbar and icon on my desk blinking?

    This bug started happening for me and I found no solutions on how to fix this. My task bar continues to blink every few minutes as well as the icons on my desktop (I'm not sure how to describe it but it's like it's refreshing himself even with my icons on my desktop it disappears and reappears a second). Also when I move my icons from the original place that they go back to original when my desktop and task bar flicker/blink. I think that this is the reason why my games keep minimizing when im playing in full screen, also while im watching a long youtube video I click on full screen my taskbar and I have to click the chrome icon in my taskbar to disappear. Then after a few minutes it seems once again. Is this some kind of virus? I tried a lot of solutions such as the search for viruses etc and nothing worked her gives me a headache.

    Thanks for the reply. I was unable to perform the specified task.  Had to buy the CD of restoration of the manufacturer.  Problem solved.

  • Why Firefox 34.0 freezes?

    After Firefox updated to 34.0, it suddenly started freezing at inopportune moments. Not always at the same point on the same web site. I tried Google Chrome on the same sites Firefox would freeze and Chrome worked flawlessly like Internet Explorer 11. I also noticed that it would scroll only partially and then freeze, then scroll down a little more, then freeze, so bad that I couldn't see the page at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2875544/How-escape-Alcatraz-Researchers-reveal-1962-escapees-presumed-dead-freedom.html. I tried this page on Chrome and it worked perfectly. I don't have this problem before the last update. Also note that Firefox 34.0 can work very well for a day or two then start freezing again. I tried safe mode and couldn't do the problem of gel in duplicate. But as I said, sometimes it works fine then others not. I'll try to remember to run recorder step next time it begins to freeze. I also installed Troubleshooter as shown below. I just tried the link to the page above, and he recorded with recorder step. He has frozen loading but then started working again. Previously, it would show a message not Repsonding in the top bar of Firefox. He didn't this time.

  • Why TB does not freeze when I click on account settings? (Goes from bad to worse!)

    A few days ago, I posted a question about migration backup emails in TB. I got help, but not a definitive answer to my problems. Unfortunately, my wife and I seem to have created an additional problem which must be resolved before we return to the issue of migration of file. Now, TB freezes when I try to check the settings of an account. This may be due to our attempt to copy an old e-mail folder (file .sbd), in my current profile. That's how it happened:

    We copied a saved .sbd folder to
    C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\pnp8j2nf.default\Mail\Local records
    We have not seen any change in TB.

    Then, in TB, we created a folder under local folders, giving it the same name as the .sbd that we had copied. The content become so visible in TB.

    When I tried to check the settings of an account, TB has frozen. Restart TB did not help. Then we tried to go back to our previous steps by deleting the folder newly created in TB and .sbd file in local folders. I restarted TB and PC, but TB still freezes when we try to check the account settings.

    Think that we could have corrupted profile, we also renamed the 8 character profiles .default under C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles and C:\Users\FrankF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, hoping TB would generate a new profile, but now the TB does not start without the profile.

    We wonder if we should remove profiles.ini or remove its contents to force TB to create a new profile. Any advice on which are originally the gel and how to fix? Thanks in advance.

    Apparent victory! I copied my saved files (trrevilc.default) to

    C:\Users\FF\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles and edited profiles.ini, changing -
    

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name =TB difficulty
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles /kdtnv197. Fix TB
    Default = 1

    TO

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name =PlanetXP
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles /trrevilc.default
    Default = 1

    and Voila! my darlings old emails and accounts reappeared... even though I have an e-mail account w a problem.

    I'm still wondering (after I backup C:\Users\FF) the best way to remove the other profiles. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again.

  • Why Firefox 23 keeps freezing briefly all the time?

    Firefox has suddenly started to block briefly for something like 3 seconds all the time when it updated to 23. He does something like every 10 seconds. How can I prevent the really annoying short gel?

    I found Skype click for the call module was originally of the gel. The only reason update 24 order to freeze because the add-on is not compatible. He started to freeze up again as soon as he became compatible so disabing add-on solved the problem.

  • Why Google Image Search freezes up when using Firefox?

    During the execution of an Image via Google in Firefox search it temporarily freezes or becomes constantly slow. I unchecked the hardware acceleration, as suggested by some, but it made no difference; My graphics drivers to date, I used Firefox worm. 23. I've updated when I first noticed the problem if it persists despite the update.

    I have no virus or threats on my PC.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    To turn on safe mode

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
    • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')
