  • Windows 10 Pro: Firefox 40.0 constantly using 75 to 85% of cpu with HTML 5 1080 p video playback

    Firefox version 40.0 can no longer play videos from youtube.com without ridiculously high levels of cpu on my 10 Pro 64-bit Windows System. The non-video HD, the cpu is using Firefox level is a constant 45 to 50%. On change to 1080 p HD, Firefox 40.0 now consumes a staggering 75-85% of cpu. It started since the upgrade to Firefox 39.

    Opera of 31.0, Edge and Internet Explorer 11.0.10240.16384 all use less than 20% cpu when running HTML5 or Flash in mode HD 1080 p on the youtube.com site.

    Why Firefox works at 75-85% of the cpu on my system? Video on youtube.com is rough and stutter and 40.0 Firefox is having a devastating effect on the proper functioning of my entire system, mounted in power overall cpu usage just up to 100%. He managed to slow down my entire operating system. I've never had this problem with Firefox before, not even in many Insider Preview of WIndows 10 Pro versions.

    No one knows what causes this unacceptable amout of use cpu 40,0 Firefox and how to fix it? I already uninstalled Firefox completely and re-installed. This had no effect on the cpu extreme use.

  • My computer with Windows 7 Home updated for Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers that are running Windows 7 Pro have not yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

    See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.

    Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.

    We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  • Aurora running, but can not be played on Desktop Windows 7 pro 64-bit

    I've been using Aurora for several years with Windows 7 pro 64-bit with the two latest major 28/29 Auroa just missing from my desk after clicking on the icon on the desktop, I tried to uninstall, but the system told me I had still Aroura running uninstall so I had to reboot my PC, I could uninstall I then reinstalled Aurora and a pinned icon appeared in the taskbar, but when I clicked on the icon on the desktop the hourglass turned but no Aroura started on the desktop, so I went through the whole thing again and uninstalled Aurora and installed Firefox V26 and now it has progressed to the last version that has disappeared as exactly the same way.

    What can I do if I use Aroura again because it is very good and safe to use?

    I can't use the troubleshooting info as I can't see Aurora/Firefox to view or copy/paste the info shown.

    Thank you solved the problem, I restarted the PC and now Aurora works again thanks.

  • Bootcamp/windows 10 Pro installation process fails

    Machine: MacBook Pro (retina, 150inch, Mid2015)

    El Capitan, 10.11.4

    Processor 2.8 GHz 16 GB Mem

    New MacBook with an instance of Time Machine saved from previous MacBook Pro

    Trying to install fresh Windows 10 Pro 64-bit image on a new 130GB partition created by Bootcamp.

    1. I ran bootcamp.
    2. Bootcamp Assistant downloads the drivers Windows and 'medium '.
    3. Bootcamp Assistant creates the disk partition, and then switches to Windows (no need USB), Windows.iso image is very good by Bootcamp.
    4. "Windows Setup" starts its thing.
    5. Screen 1: I am asked to confirm the installation, and accept the license.
    6. Screen 2: I enter my license key Pro 10 MS Windows in the form of xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
    7. Screen 3: not below, program installing Windows says "no images available.

    The Windows Installer will not leave here, and I interpret that as he cannot locate a disk image for installation of.

    I searched these forums a bit to find answers. I tried to copy the file Windows.iso on an external USB drive and that the selection as the source image and even the achievement of results as shown above.

    I looked at the menu "Actions" in the Bootcamp Assistant and that the only available element is 'Download Support Windows software' or something similar. I did and saved a folder on my Mac desktop, but it is nothing new.

    I have reset the PRAM with Cmnd-Option-P-R and the MSC with the Shift-command-Option-Power button. Once again nothing.

    Between each attempt, I'm in the Bootcamp Assistant and remove the Windows Partition of my drive.

    If anyone knows why the Windows Installer cannot find the ISO file or what steps I must take to install Windows Pro 10, I should be grateful if you would hear about it.

    Thank you.

    Followed, after contact Apple support, by sending in diagnosis and return just GENERALS of Apple engineers... I did a thorough cleaning of my PowerBook. Using the command-R during restart, started in Recovery Mode or what it's called, used the disk utility, wiped and formatted the drive. Made a new fresh install of OS X el Capitan. Updated. THEN, I installed Windows with BootCamp Assistant. The process worked. My hunch is that use Time Machine to power my new machine was the culprit. I am betting that Time Machine copied on the parameters of my previous machine (a mid-2011 Powerbook), on this new Powerbook from 2015. That's the only difference. So it is now resolved.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Your PC is preinstalled with Windows 10. If you delete or overwrite the original Win10 on your PC with Win 7, you will encounter serious problems as there are no HP Win7 drivers for new hardware that comes with new machines.

    MS provides drivers that provide only the basic features.  This means that the functionality of the material is likely to NOT work if you force a downgrade.  Which includes functions such as the touch pad, graphics swtichable, WiFi, USB ports - to name the functions commonly reported here.

    If you want all the features of the machine, you must keep the original version of OS preinstalled.

    Sorry, but if what you need is a PC Win7, you should have bought a Win7 PC.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100-709 - Windows XP Pro lost key

    I formatted my machine today and re-installed the same operating system (Windows XP Pro), but did not notice that my key of windows on the back of my Satellite A100-709 has been torn. :(

    So now I have a machine with an inactive license.
    No idea how I can get it back, should I talk to Toshiba/Windows to do knowing that they might have in their books of b?

  • Palm TX 32 bit Windows 7 Pro of XP Update: use XP mode? Or Win 7?

    I'm really good at making fatal mistakes with technology and my Palm is too critical to risk, so I bought a portable 32-bit, Windows 7 pro and XP mode installed.

    I've scoured the forums, but all I can find are problems/solutions with 64 bit (which is what scares me in the first place, of course).

    First of all, I should install in XP mode?  Or install Win 7 on a 32-bit computer will go smoothly?

    Secondly, can I use my original disc with the 4.2 version of Palm Desktop?

    Finally, for my peace of mind, you kindly check my checklist of errors, omissions or dangerous areas.

    (1) synch the device from Palm desktop

    (2) backup on my SDCard with NVBackup

    (3) open the XP mode - or do not open XP mode as you recommend

    (4) install Palm desktop (disc or download that recommend)

    (5) enter the same username as on the device / xp computers

    (6) change in Organizer substitute Office

    (7) with the sync cable. Make tea. Be calm.

    (8) check data on handheld and the desktop to find errors.

    (9) when somewhat confident everything goes well, return led to synchronize except for stays of backup as handheld overrides desktop. (not sure why, but it's the default I guess.)

    Thank you

    Off the hook

    SUCCESS!

    Thank you all very much. I danced around the kitchen.

    I had a few problems, and that means a question.

    After installation I plugged the cable in and upward jumped a box "Installing the driver software" telling me "software device driver was not installed successfully. I thought it was over, and that's my question. What does that mean? Because the next thing that happened, thought I had nothing to lose but hope, I tried a synch, and incredibly, it worked. I made a small change in the calendar and it synchronized at the back of the unit.

    He also tells me there is a problem with the quick installation then took me to do nothing.

    In addition, in case it might help someone, disable UAC in Win7 is slightly different from that of Vista. Go to "edit your user account settings" and set the cursor to "Don't warn.  At this time, I went on the internet for security. And it's a little annoying, because after that you have to restart the computer. And when HotSync is done, you go back to the control panel and restart and then restart.

    WyreNut, I smiled when I saw your post.  I always assumes that the volunteers on the technology forums (which, in a just world, would be paid buckets of moolah for their help) are early and that you would be all Win8 (and the curse, I suppose). But I guess that help you here because if something works (such as Palm) why spend.

    I kudo has you all and would buy you champagne if I could.

    Confused, but less.
