How can I stop this from happening?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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).

I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND EI8 AND CANNOT LOAD FARMTOWN OR FARMVILEE ON FACEBOOK
Hello
Try to add to your trusted sites in IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - Trusted Sites.
What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

See you soon,.
I was in the last phase of the construction of my podcast site (http://fontoradio.fi).
I wanted to send to iTunes in advance to make sure I can get it out here too, as soon as I publish my Web site.Everything went very well: my podcast has been approved, and the iTunes search tool found, with two episodes of test I had included in the RSS feeds (real episodes that are intended to be implemented later). Then, I wanted to make sure that nobody'd, as I had already begun Fonto Radio talking to friends etc.
I published a new RSS feed (using the app charger), with ' block in iTunes: Yes "and behold, my podcast do not appear in iTunes. Excellent!
After completing the site, I've made a new RSS yet, with ' block in iTunes: No. That was five days ago.
Fonto Radio can not always be found on iTunes.Well if I choose 'send the podcast' drop iTunes and paste the feed URL (http://fontoradio.fi/FontoRadio.xmlhttp://fontoradio.fi/FontoRadio.xmlhttp://fontoradio.fi/FontoRadio.xmlhttp://fontoradio.fi/FontoRadio.xmlhttp://fontoradio.fi/FontoRadio.xmlhttp://fontoradio.fi/FontoRadio.xml) in the box, he gets up and I can listen to the trailer, the only published point/episode.
What do you think of that cause?
Thanks for any informed guesses or made in advance.
Best,City
The store normally does not accept feeds with episodes of test, so it is possible that you have been deleted for that reason - when you said it was available, it was in the iTunes Store, not only in the iTunes application? Have you received an email of acceptance by giving you the iTunes Store page? If it has been removed you should have received an e-mail saying so - check your spam trap.
There is another question - your image podcast is too large to 3 889 x 3, 889px and 2.5 MB. With this image, I am surprised that you have been accepted in the first place.
If you need create a new image, 1400 x 1400 minimum and maximum 3000 x 3000 and less than 500 KB. Then you need at least a good episode in the power supply.
Then try to submit to https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast . If you receive a message saying that it's already been submitted you could try to change the name a bit (you can change it back once accepted).
Otherwise, go to https://itunespodcasts.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and click on the triangle to the right of the field "Choose a topic" - select "Reactivate feed" and proceed from there.

As of late, when I open any photo or video files (those that I opened in the past) I get that dreaded "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close... blah, blah, blah!
I could not find any information on this error, except the one person that I know who maintains computers of the University of Missouri, said that he had this problem, and it was somehow related to the fact that he had too many thumbnails in the folder/drive.
I didn't think that this is the case and think it is much more insidious than that. Could use any help to solve this issue up to and including the repair of Windows Explorer (with the hope that I don't have to reloadt the operating system).
Thanks in advance!

Suddenly icloud calendar does not load on my Lenovo PC. Has worked for months; iCloud contacts and photos both continue to operate. Any suggestions?
Hi scschwind,
I understand that you are having problems with your iCloud calendar on your Windows computer. Here is an article for you that will help you solve this problem:
Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
After each step, check to see if the problem persists.
Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the system iCloud.
Check your Internet connection
- Try to go to www.apple.com. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events does not update in Outlook. Get help with your Internet connection.
- Try to open a secure Web site to your PC to see if you can access the ports 80 and 443. If the site does not open, you do not have access. Contact your ISP for help. Safari requires access to port 443 to push updates between iCloud and your devices.
Check your settings
ICloud opened for Windows and make sure that you are connected to the same iCloud account that you use on your other supported devices.
Update Outlook
If you have recently made changes in Outlook that are not updated on your other devices (or vice versa), click the Refresh button on Outlook.
Turn off iCloud calendar and turn it back on
- Close Outlook.
- ICloud opened for Windows.
- Uncheck the Mail, Contacts, calendars, & tasks and click on apply.
- Wait a few seconds. Select Mail, Contacts, calendars, & tasks and click on apply.
- Open Outlook.
Make sure that the Outlook Add-in iCloud is enabled in Outlook
In Outlook 2010 and later:
- Click on the file menu.
- Click Options in the left panel.
- Click on add-ins in the left panel of the window Options in Outlook.
- Look at the list of add-ins in the section Active Application Add-Ins.
- Select the Outlook Add-in iCloud.
In Outlook 2007:
- On the Tools menu, select Management Center.
- Select Add-ins in the left column.
- Look at the list of add-ins in the section Active Application Add-Ins.
- Select the Outlook Add-in iCloud.
Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook
- In Outlook 2010 and later, select file > Info > Account Settings > data files. If iCloud is listed as default account in the comments column, select another account and click on set as default.
- In Outlook 2007, select file > data file management > data files. If iCloud is listed as default account in the comments column, select another account and click on set as default.
Restart your computer
After you restart your computer, see if you solved the problem.
Find your calendar in Microsoft Outlook
- Make sure that the calendar is enabled in iCloud for Windows.
- Locate your data in the iCloud folder in Outlook. You can also view your data in deleted items in your Outlook folder list.
If you find your calendar data in the deleted items folder, it is not because iCloud deleted your data. When you turn on Mail, Contacts, calendars, & tasks in iCloud for Windows, iCloud copy your calendar for the default Outlook .pst file data in iCloud. Then iCloud removes the calendar of the .pst file data by placing it in the folder deleted in Outlook items. Calendar data then moves to the iCloud data set in Outlook so that iCloud can push data to and from Outlook.

Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not. Help, please. It has been stable over the years and now it will not work. I get no help when I diagnoise of problems, but I never. It has been checked and rechecked. PitStop does not even recognize a problem. I could change the homepage, but I prefer to use Google if it works. Frustrating.
You may need to update your toolbar, google has made some changes just about everything and possibly that the page is not where it used to be.

Hello
Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.
Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?
Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.
Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.
