Its been about 3 months now since i've been using vista and unlike my previous experience with other OS vista 64 is the worst of all........It crashes alot comparing to other OS and also it has a lot of incompatibly issues by that i mean here is a problem i am having nowdays with this Vista thingy OS. I already have .netframe 3.5 installed and still this application as well as some other works smoothly on other OS crashes on Vista. And due to these regurlar basis problem i think i might wanna give up and install either Linux or Ubuntu.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFirefox regularly crashes for no apparent reason. Anyone know why? Also the load on my CPU is permanently over 50% and the hard drives spin for no reason. My system is quad core q6600 with 5gb ddr3 RAM and ATI 3870 HD HD was fully formatted before fresh installation.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have so many problems with Windows Vista, i can't even tell you. i'm meeting with a friend soon to address many of them, but there's one i can't tolerate or figure out. i've looked everywhere, so as a last-ditch, i'm asking here.
Vista is crashing my browser, which happens to be Mozilla Firefox. however, from what i've read, it also crashes IE7, so it's an equal opportunity glitch. is there a patch i'm missing? it's getting worse & worse. it used to happen occasionally, & now it happens every time i browse.
About 2 months ago I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my PC. About 2 weeks ago it starting rebooting sometimes when I open something like an image file or even Internet Explorer. It doesn't happen evey time and only happens about once a day (but only when I go to open something). I want to figure this out so that I don't lose any data or end up with some data corruption. I have run the Windows memory diagnostic tool and it didn't find any issues. The only event in the Event viewer that even related to the issue, was an event logged after it finished rebooting that stated the PC was shutdown improperly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAfter the rolling green bars of starting up vista, the hard drive makes alot of noise (lots of disk activity?), vista takes 5-10 seconds longer. The noise is very annoying! And I'm concerned that it will ruin the hard drive. Plus my 20 second bootup is also longer. This started happening after two months living with vista - didnt happened at day one.
I noticed the problem after installing new drivers for my VGA and manually installing some vista/office 2007 security updates. Coincidence? I've tried uninstalling the drivers and installing new ones - but no luck. I've also tried chkdsk /r in an elevated privledge command prompt and a defrag, anti-virus scan and spyware scan. Furthermore, the only thing I have changed in the boot up sequence is: adding 4 core cpu support when booting up, and stopping a few startup items. I have also disabled the readyboost service.
For all you people who have been looking for a way to get Vista's glass effect in Firefox, look no further. Here is an extension for Firefox 3 that will do it. (supports 32bit and 64bit FF versions) Information Here: [Ext] Glasser 1.0.16 (BETA) - Add Vista Glass to Firefox • mozillaZine Forums. Menubar Addon: This Addon hides the File/Edit/View/tools menu using the ALT key to show it temporarily.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI finally decided to upgrade to Vista, and since I have 4GB ram I thought I'd give 64bit a shot. Every game I play crashes, or fails to load at all, or gets into the game and crashes during map load. I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I have installed and re-installed the OS multiple times to no effect. I've downloaded all of the windows updates. During one of my first installs of vista, I was able to get in to games of codwaw, but then it would crash after about 5 secs.......
View 9 Replies View RelatedI use the latest version of Firefox. I will get a message saying that I'm in unsecure mode, and the way to fix it is to install a program from Microsoft (attached is a screenshot). However, even though it says that it's from Microsoft, if I double click it, it says it's from an unknown publisher.... what gives? And if I keep running the stupid AV and spyware bull, then why does this keep happening?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get Firefox to run but it doesn't. IE does work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Vista Ultimate x64 OEM without any issues, until now.
Yesterday my computer was running just fine, but now, all of the sudden, it seems like it doesnt want to cooperate.
Here's a small list of thumbnails to make telling my story a whole lot easier:
1) On startup - nothing appears out of the ordinary..
2) Starting firefox results in nothing but a blank page.
3) Closing firefox results in error.
4) Opening up Binary Newsreader = errors.
5) Closing Binary Newsreader = more errors.
6) Opening FTP app results in similar errors.

Mozilla 's Firefox has been updated to 3.5.3.
Check for updates within your existing version ,or you can get it below.
Quote: What’s New in Firefox 3.5.3
Firefox 3.5.3 fixes the following issues:
Several security issues. Fixed several stability issues.
I've been running Firefox 3 Beta 5 for a few weeks on Vista Home Premium. I started to get a message saying that Firefox couldn't be started because it was already running. Kill the process or reboot. Upon investigation in the Task Manager, Firefox is not running as an application or process?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just got vista 64bit and Mozilla Firefox keeps crashing on me.
I've heard there are some compatibility issues with Firefox and 64bit windows.
Is there a patch out, a windows tweak or an alternate version of Firefox out to solve this issue?
Another application I'm having trouble installing is Flash CS4, It keeps preparing the install files to a temp folder and then tells me that it needs to close and to check the destination drives disk space/ write protection settings.
(note the destination drive has over 400gb left on it!)
firefox or ie 32 bit does not work, it wont connect to the internet, neither will aim. however i can go on websites with ie x64 bit version. but i cant go to Internet and such because flash doesnt work with the 64 bit version.
View 4 Replies View Relatedok so i use vista home premium, have firefox installed. I cannot download anything using firefox or IE. whenever i do try to download the download window comes up and downloads all the way. I do not use desktop as the place where files are placed so it doesnt get cluttered, but it is in a folder on the desktop.
When it is done downloading there is nothing in the folder. It will be there while downloading ( and i can do anything with it), but when the download finishes the file dissapears and is unable to be found anywhere. It is not hidden or anything. I've done full advanced computer searches and the file cannot be found. I have AVG, but it is disabled.
I am in a few college classes and another problem that i am having is that when i try to take my homework off the site (usually in a .zip or .doc format), i have an error that comes up saying Cannot open C:UsersRyan'sAppdataLocalTempStudentDownload.zip (or .doc) this is a HUGE!!!problem as i cannot afford to run back and forth to the college everyday trying to get my homework done.
Every time an update comes out for FF 3.6, even though I have Firefox unchecked in the Update settings, it will ask me to update. Not just on startup, but just any old time. It's gettin' old fast!
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe other night I come home from work late. I go to check my email and non-sense...but can't. Internet Explorer starts to crash..a lot. So, I found someone to send me Firefox the next day (I couldn't keep IE open long enough to do anything, half the time it didn't even open before the crash msg came up.) Still FF crashes. I don't know what the problem is..or was, it seems to be doing ok right now, first time I've actually been able to keep my browser open long enough to do something..I'm afraid to close it in case it doesn't work again. So..here are the
reports, first the IE and then the FF.

Its late here so I'm gonna make this brief, my windows update keeps trying to install the same update over and over and over again. At this has been happening my firefox 2 has gone very unstable. I have never any problems with firefox till now. It is an update for xml core services (KB936181), take a look at the screen shot.
View 8 Replies View Relatedi can't stand ie, but lately whenever i need to hear anything it's my only option. no sound works on firefox period. even when i use the add-on that switches firefox to ie in the firefox browser, same problem. i think it might have worked when this computer was new but i could be wrong. and if it did it was only for a very short time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIf you go to Softpedia.com and click the Windows button you'll see an announcement and download links for Firefox 3.6 RC1. I just put it on both my PCs(W7 32 bit and Vista64 SP1.) Those running GradientIcool Blue theme may have to reload/reinstall the theme. After I did that using FEBE addon, my AddOn buttons showed in the status bar again. It passed my litmus tests. The pop-down descriptions on TV Guide site work, Silverlight video works on Netflix, and my AutoCopy AddOn copies. So far I haven't found any quirks or bugs.
View 4 Replies View Relatedbasically as the subject says, Firefox 2.0.0.9 seems to run really slow on Vista, IE7 and Netscape 9.0RC1 seem to run really fast but for some reason Firefox just lags. I've searched the Internet but not really found much, few of the suggestions suggest netsh interface tcp set global autotuning disabled but that hasn't done much, they say run as an administrator which I do by right-clicking cmd and selecting run as administrator, not sure if I'm doing this right, not really sure how to run my machine as an administrator.

I don't know why, before it ran smooth. I did try to install the old version firefoxe 2.0 but impossible.
How do I disconnect the firewall.
I have certain web sites that I cannot access using Firefox and I'm thinking maybe this is the problem.
I know Tools/Clear Recent History/Everything but not everything gone when I cleaned my history.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been reading and posting on this forum for a while now.. probably 2 months? All of a sudden, starting yesterday, when I try to browse here to this forum, IE and Firefox both tell me they can't find this site. If fact, it takes me to a site with a similiar name.. vista64.com with no x. This only happens with this forum and one other and only from home on this computer. I can browse all over the place on the internet without a problem. I have no problem browsing here from work. I have made no changes or updates on the computer within the last 48 hours. I downloaded the latest IE security update from Windows this morning which allowed me here for one session and then went back to telling me the site didn't exist. Windows Defender full scan says all clear, Norton says all clear. I have also cleared my cache on both browsers and cookies as well. The only reason I got here now is because I accessed a cached site on a google search, which sometimes works and sometimes not.
View 9 Replies View RelatedYesterday Firefox was working fine, I just booted up today though to find the shortcut on the desktop had been replaced by an unknown file icon. Strange...so I went to the program folder to open it from there but the ENTIRE program folder has completely disappeared!
I am the only person to have used this computer and I know I did not delete or move the folder or uninstall the program. What could have caused this? My pc is Virus-free. Is there a way restoring it with all my settings and bookmarks? I'm a bit concerned because IE7x86 hasn't been working for me for some time so I only have IE7x64 working....for now
