Firefox, IE & Applications Won't Start - Chrome Does
Jan 27, 2013
I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit and recently been having some issues I first noticed with firefox. Computer boots up and loads the main screen but then when I try to open firefox or IE nothing happens. some applications work fine (chrome, garmin training centre) but others will not open at all including the restore application, Itunes,msconfig and others.
The network and sharing centre icon in the tray had a blue circle over it as if it's trying to do something after 10minutes that is replaced with red cross and then after a further 5 minutes or so the red cross goes and all the things I was trying to open actually open.
If i open in safe mode with networking it is all fine and I can open everything straight off. The only new thing I have installed is nebak replicator a device that is meant to back up folders to a NAS.
I have Zone alarm anti virus and firwall latest version and that hasn't picked up anything. I have also scanned with spy bot and nothing there. attached is hijack log

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Java won't run in IE9 but will run in Firefox and Chrome. When I go to Verify Java Version at Java.com in Firefox and Chrome they return Version 7 Update 9 but the test never returns a result in IE9. I uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Java add-ons are enabled. Security settings look ok.Some sites return "An add-on for this website failed to run". Same sites in Firefox and Chrome work fine. Java games don't work in IE9 but same games play in Firefox and Chrome.

I am getting BSOD on my Asus U56E. This is a refurbished laptop i received and BSOD has been happening since day 1. It often happens when I use Mozilla Firefox and sometimes with Chrome. First the mouse pointer freezes up and thereafter BSOD comes up.I had called up Asus customer support and they helped me update BIOS and keyboard driver but it still keeps happening.

Right now I'm working with Internet explorer. Firefox and Chrome don't open any websites. I changed the internet settings in control panel but it didn't help. Some people tell it's about antivirus programs. I am using NOD32 antivirus?

One of the features I like about FF is that it gives you the option to remember user names and passwords. Not sure if the latest Chrome and IE do the same??

I have a laptop from my company and I have a problem accessing the internet:- When I'm connected to my company network : everything works fine.I go on internet through IE, Chrome, Firefox etc.- But when I'm at home or in another company or my 3G usb stick:Only IE works for internet. Firefox and Chrome display error page like I wasn't connected to internet.It seems not related with browser's proxy setting. (I have tried all options and moreover, my home connection doesn't require proxy settings for example)

My laptop has Windows 7 and IE, Chrome, and Firefox wont open. I always use Chrome. Its really weird because my laptop says it is connected to the internet through my wireless router. It loads for a while and then says "This webpage is not available." Im thinking maybe a virus has switched some settings, beacuse I ran Mal Ware bytes and something came up that I deleted.

This morning all my browsers have crashed, IE 9, FF and Chrome on my desktop. When it happened to IE, I thought it was a bug of some kind then checked w/FF and Chrome and they all went done. After restarting each browser they all work fine. I'm in the process of cleaning my system.

I randomly receive "server not found" while browsing on IE, Firefox, or chrome. A refresh or 5 usually does the trick. Even when that works most of the time the webpages arent fully displayed . Sometimes I'll have to reset the router and that is only a temporary fix. I've called Belkin, Geek squad ETC. exercised my options.
Laptop is 2 mos old, (wifi). my desktop(wired) doesn't seem to have these issues.My iPhone 4 when using the wifi has the same random" server not found" issues.

I have the following configuration on an assembled computer:
PHENOM II X4 + Gigabyte GA 88 GMA UD 2H
Seagate HDD 500GB Sata
DDR-3 Corsair x2
HD 6850
Cooler Master SMPS 500W
Windows 7 64-bit
My issue is that computer freezes when I browse the internet with Chrome, Firefox and Explorer. I can work with Explorer with one tab as of now - I can't open more than one because it freezes the entire computer in a minute or two after opening additional tabs. I have tried System Restore, Registry cleaner, defrag, anti virus scans Mbam scans etc but nothing works.
A few days ago I had shifted the computer to a warmer room and stupidly put the chassis next to an inverter which emits heat. I used to have freezes earlier but it was a rare occurrence maybe just 1-2 times a week - but yes it used to be there before. Opening many tabs as I wanted in chrome, firefox or explorer was never a problem earlier. I have the problem is only with internet browsing - playing videos, music, work on excel, ppt etc is no problem.

If I connect to my work VPN, then IE refuses to load any pages (inside the work network or outside). It doesn't even appear to try, just goes immediately to "Internet Explorer cannot display this page." I was able to connect to the computer with teamviewer remotely, name resolution worked properly, I was able to ping the web server etc. all fine, even brought the page up in FF and Chrome with no problems. I turned off all add-ins and restarted IE, same deal. If I disconnect from the VPN then IE works fine again. I was running IE9, I tried uninstalling it but having the same issue with IE8.

Yesterday while using Firefox I noticed it kept crashing, with the cause being a "BEX Event". I try opening it to no avail, everytime terminating immediately after I clicked on it. I tried Chrome and Explorer, but both of them suffered the same problem, immediately crashing due to the BEX error. I restarted my system multiple times to see if it subsides, but it reappeared promptly everytime for ALL three browsers (!) I tried Safe Mode with networking to see if its gone. Nope, same problem, with Explorer and Firefox collapsing instantly, while Chrome seem to take around 10-12 seconds of surfing before flatlining due to the same cause.
I then decided to use System Restore and managed to take my whole system back to 5 days ago when none of the problems were happening. Tried again, but nope, same issue with a BEX event. This time it seems Explorer would display it as BEX64 instead of just BEX. I tried resetting entire settings for Explorer, but the BEX error would always prevent me from doing so by shutting down the whole things before its done. I thought, maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with a faulty DEP on Explorer, and added it the list of exceptions for DEP. Still didn't work, and the system wouldn't let me add Chrome and Firefox to the list either. I tried to see if maybe I can download some new antivirus or antispyware programs off the net, except that none of my browsers work, so I have no access to the Internet in both normal and Safe modes.... Sufficient to say I am typing here from a library's computer.

I have the latest Firefox and Flash Player installed. But some applications just don't run at all. For example, videos on [URL] just show a black screen. And this site is remains completely blank: thisissand.com. These applications do work fine on Internet Explorer, but no matter what I try, it won't work on Firefox. Some other things, like Flash movies on [URL] work just fine on Firefox. I've already tried re-installing Flash. Tried an older version of Flash. Tried disabling Flash safe mode. Nothing changes.

Firefox, Steam, Filezilla, Skype all work.IE, Chrome, Evernote and others all dont.Windows Network Diagnostic tool says: Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings..Its not a virus or malware, its likely because i removed registry keys related to old web filtering software.In the Internet Options settings it is set to automatically detect settings and no proxy server is set.

There are two Win7 machines on my home network. The "Old Machine" is a Dell Dimension 8400 with a newly formatted disk and Win7 32b. All connections to the net with this machine are nearly instant.The "New Machine" is a user-build i7-860 based box with Win7 64b, 8g ram and fast video card - about 1yr old. In the past few days I've noticed slower and slower web-returns. In the lower left corner of the browser I see "Waiting for tomshardware.com..." and it can hang for MINUTES. I'm posting this message via the "Old Machine" as I couldn't get here from the long waits.The Bad Machine has latest network drivers, all Windows stuff is up to date, latest firefox and chrome. Each of two virus packages were run independently - each found a Trojan and it was removed. Both programs are now disabled. I swapped the Cat5 cable on the switch - no change.If I boot that machine in Safe Mode w/Networking - the response time to web connections is excellent - no 'Waiting for..." messages. When I boot back to full Win7 the slowdown is back.I keep thinking this might be a NIC failure - it is Realtek motherboard chipset.

I am currently deactivating several programs from my boot-list in an attempt to stop a little problem I am having.I came across a couple programs that I am not sure would be such a good idea to deactivate.My computer is an Asus G74Sx and has an Intel i7 processor, so I have no idea why there is an AMD Dual-Core Optimizer in there, I suppose I should deactivate it, but I just want to check with you lot first.The programs starting with ATK and such I assume have something to do with the functionality of my laptop, such as ACMON, i checked online and found that it controls the button which switches between high performance and all that.Would disabling these affect my computer in any major way? i.e. make it more unstable, certain laptop specific keys, such as the Fn-key losing functionality etc.? And the Win 7 DDK driver; it says something about USB 3.0 it's located under (...)Fresco Logic USB3.0 Host Controlleramd64_hostFlxHCIm.exe. My PC had one USB 3.0 port, would disabling this make it stop working? [code]

I've searched around the internet but to no avail. Numerous Windows applications that come with the OS, such as Uninstall a Program, View Network Status, and so on will not start when I try to run them. For example, if I go into the Control Panel and select one of them, the Control Panel window freezes for a minute or two, nothing happens, and then it's back to normal again. The selected program does not start. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. The only new things I've installed are drivers for the hardware, and Skype, and Chrome. The hardware itself is presumably not causing the problem, and it's a nice system so it's not some sort of lack of processing power that's causing it. I've already tried reinstalling the entire operating system. The user account I'm on is an administrator account. Some applications such as Device Manager work just fine.

I was unable to launch .exe applications that relied on the MSI installer. The solution was to go to services and start the 'windows installer service'...doing this fixed some of the issues but apparently not all of them. I still can't run Fireworks or AvastUI.exe and other apps such as Upgrade Advisor. Heck, I can't even run certain windows updates. I have a HP desktop running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. I know for a fact that there are no mal/ad/spyware on my computer.
I have ran Trojan Remover and removed all the junk that I'm sure caused the problem in the first place. Here are some windows provided solutions I have tried: I have ran all MS 'Fix-It' apps, uninstalled reinstalled my apps, went to command line ran 'msiexec /regserver'. I know windows installer is installed but its corrupted for sure. My last resort is to wipe out the OS and reinstall it.

Earlier today, my computer is not working properly since i started it up.An error would show everytime a programs try to start.It would show " The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000b5). " everytime i try to start google chrome. Other programs like games also creates error, some with different error codes like (0xc0000185).Steam has creates a different error which says " Steam.exe(main exception): Unable to load library SteamUI.dll, Win32 Error 121 "The semaphore timeout period has expired."However, some programs like internet explorer, photoshop and microsoft office would work, which i suspect is because they are 64bit softwares.

So I picked up a OCZ 256GB Vertex 4, and since I reinstalled Windows and everything on it Chrome has always been slow. Closing tabs sometimes takes several second. Sounds like a small problem.

Chrome used all the 16GB of RAM @ 300+ tabs open. I have never thought it will happened. Now I wonder if Firefox8 would have the same use age.This is Chrome 17.0.938.0 BETA.No slow down at all, but msg about low RAM popped up.The old C2D E6750 would buckled already, and 2600K no issue. World of difference for anyone who wants to upgrade. Best upgrade on PC u can do, fast CPU, second is SSD.Windows are running great, everything responses normal.

I recently updated to Firefox 18. If I go to Windows' Control Panel and then click on "Uninstall a program", both Firefox 18 and Firefox 15 show up in the list of programs. Should I just leave it as it is, or should I uninstall Firefox 15?
By the way, I updated to Firefox 18 through Firefox's update feature, if that helps.

Over the past two weeks a very annoying audio pop up keeps coming up; even with IE & Chrome not running. It even ran with the lid closed in hibernate mode.While monitoring explorer.exe, using task manager, when it does make its audio appearance -- i notice a significant increase in explorer.exe activity.
