why does my firefox browser freeze when i right click the very top aero part of the window?
im on Windows Rc 7100
and this seems to be the only problem i have
it also does this when i hold right click on WMP
any ideas y?
I'm using Windows 7 64bit and everytime I use a browser like Opera or Chrome or something the taskbar becomes completely unresponsive until I close the browser. I don't think this has always been happening though, because like I've had 64bit installed for about a week now and only noticed this now. So yeah if there's anyway to fix this without a reinstall I would really like to know it
The only thing I've installed lately were 181.22 drivers from nvidia which I uninstalled to no avail. don't know why that would help but there you go haha.
I have been in IT for 10+ years and have done desktop/server support, programming, DBA, etc. I have come across an issue on my personal laptop that has stumped me. This started recently in the past month. It was around the time, I did a few windows updates and a FF update. So I have been unable to pinpoint what caused it. All of my browsers started to freeze upon loading a new page (even non flash webpages, ie google.com) They would freeze for 5-10 minutes. I noticed if I disabled the flash plugin in FF, then FF acted normally. I uninstalled the flash activex module, and IE started to work properly again as well. I did a lot of testing by removing flash and all of my adobe components (CS4) and acrobat. Anything flash related I removed completely, I then used a tool provided by adobe to remove any leftover remnants of adobe (registry entries, folders, etc). I tried many different versions of FF, Opera, Safari and Chrome and many different versions of the flash player (9-current). They all acted the same with flash installed, if I uninstalled flash, all the browsers worked perfectly fine.

Its completly new but here is the kick. Sometimes when i use firefox..IE or opera or chrome....it works fine...sometimes when i press somewhere It freezes...but most common freeze is when i close browser...
I looked around internet and i can't find anything like this... I mean PC freezes like picture...i waited over 12 hours...and it was still frozen nothing seems to react...Keyboard or mouse...only to unfreeze i have to do hard reset
All my browsers were freezing and crashing. I was getting the DNS 1012 error. I found out I was missing my host file. I added back the host file. Chrome and Internet explorer worked ok for a little while, then they started crashing again. I took off Chrome and replaced with Opera. Opera worked perfectly for a day and I thought my troubles were over. The next day, it started freezing and crashing and I am getting the DNS 1012 error again. If it's not recognizing the host file, why did Opera work so well for that one day. Also I noticed when I go to my embarqmail account, that's when the freezing really begins and then it affects other sites I go to after that.

am running win7 64bit, plus paid for versions of bitdefender and AVG pc tune up, none of my 3 browsers will open ( even in safe mode) all of my icons across the bottom of the page have gone, and ALL programs now end in .lnkave been to accessories, system restore , did not complete a restore point, have tried tools, internet options, advanced , reset and this did not help, also been to control panel ,back up and restorehave got into view downloads, have tried open and save but it just keeps duplicating the contents of the box and asks me again do i want to open or save.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMost of the time, whenever I open a browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome) it takes 5-10 seconds before it will connect to any websites. The tabs just show the 'connecting' symbol spinning. This happens even if I'm only trying to open a single tab. It's not because the computer is going slow or anything, because I can still access other programs or do other things within the browser like open new tabs, view options, etc. It's not a problem with my internet connection, because while the browser refuses to load a site I can use the command prompt to ping the same site and I get a response immediately. This has only started happening recently, like in the past two weeks.

I've been getting the BSOD for the past 4-5 days whenever I'm on the internet. At first I was on firefox, then I tried ie and google chrome, and I got the BSOD using all of them.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNeither FF, Opera or Chrome open on my Sony Vaio 64bit system. I know I have Internet access as Avast updates every day. When the relevant icons are pressed the Blue loading ring appears for a few seconds then disappears. When I try to access Task manager by ctr/alt/del the screen appears asking which service I require but when I select Task manager the Blue ring appears and again disappears and nothing happens. I regularly run anti virus scans and everything else seems to work okay. I've heard a rumour that the Bonjour service could be the problem. I I did uninstall it but maybe there is something left behind.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a windows 7 machine connected to the internet through a gentoo linux firewall/router/proxy.
I used to have this problem a while ago on windows xp but worked around it with dns hacks on my linux box. This time I want to find the actual cause.
As of today, if I go to IMDB, most of the CSS files fail to load. Trying to get to the url directly, firefox and chrome both tell me that the IMDB cdn server can't be found. Running nslookup from the windows 7 machine managed to resolve the hostname perfectly. It also works flawlessly from the linux box.
I have transparent interception on port 80, going to a squid proxy which should perform all the DNS queries. It seems that browsers (firefox and chrome...untesed with others) still seem to be trying to perform DNS lookups themselves and for some reason, fail for certain addresses.
I get an error that says, "has stopped working" then it closes the window and reopens back to the same page. This happens at least once every five mins and with both chrome and IE. I've tried all the different things floating around the web on how to fix this and nothing works.
Its not a connectivity problem as uTorrent is constantly seeding in the back ground.
I've disabled all add-ons as well as disabling all start up services.
My wife's computer has an issue that just started a week ago that's driving me nuts. The PC has been running Windows 7 Home Edition (64 bit) for over a year. She sat down to use her computer and tried to open IE (IE9). When she clicked on it, a window popped up that says "Internet explorer has stopped working". What's more troublesome is that NONE of the browsers on her PC worked (FF, Chrome, IE). They all give similar error messages and refuse to start.A friend of mine tried all of the following with no luck (the PC rebooted after each of these tasks):
Removed Chrome and FF. No change.
ran Avast
ran Malwareybytes
ran Adaware
ran Microsoft Security Essentials
[code]....
The kicker is that after all of this, I decided to install Opera and Safari and they work!! But the other three browsers still won't work!Also, if I boot into Safe Mode, all browsers work (IE, FF, Chrome). No changes were made to her computer prior to this happening. I really want to avoid re-installing Windows 7.
I'm probably using the worst browser, Internet Explorer. I used to use Firefox, but I was concerned with privacy issues once they teamed up with Google so I went back to Explorer. Two weeks ago I updated to version 9 of Internet Explorer and I'm constantly getting connection issues which I've never had before.What are the better browsers when it comes to both privacy and security?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn April of this year I ordered a new computer from ibuypower.com. I wasn't thrilled with its state when I received it, as the graphics card was defective and several cables were unattached. But, when I got a replacement card my games played just fine, which was my main concern.Thereafter I noticed that there was a problem whenever I tried to play sound through my browser. The sound is really muffled to the point that I can't understand anything that is being said. My normal browser is Firefox, but the same thing happens with IE and Chrome.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI work in tech support and I have a user that cannot play content on some sites (in particular iheart.com when trying to access 100.5 The KATT)and pulling pictures from oklahomapartypics.com.
--The KATT simply will not play. There is no error.
--Oklahomapartypics.com displays an error that says:
"Unable to retrieve images. Please be sure that you are using a modern browser such as IE7+, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 3+ or Google Chrome. If you continue to get this error, please report error code (Images-1B).
parseerror
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unterminated string"
This error comes up on all browsers from just this one computer. The computer is not believed to be infected (this issue was reported about 2 days after it was received brand new from Dell and configured for the user).
So for I have attempted the following:
-- reinstall the browsers
-- access the sites from different/brand new local and domain profiles
-- access the sites with the firewall/McAfee disabled
-- complete removal/installation of .net 3.5/4
-- complete removal/installation of Silverlight
-- complete removal/installation of Java
-- ran sfc
-- used msconfig to disable everything that was not absolutely required
I know the JSON error is javascript error, but javascript is browser dependent not system dependent. The fact that this happens even on a portable operating system indicates that this is related to a system resource that is shared by both browsers. Research turned up information indicating that json.dll variants are also installed by .Net 3.5/4 and Silverlight utilizes the .net framework.
I had been troubleshooting internet disconnects using Java based software called Internet Connection Monitor. I ran it for several days without problems and then one evening the computer was hosed up. It had rebooted back into Windows XP which I kept on the computer as a dual boot and after restarting it refused to boot Win 7. It suggested last known good settings and half way through it initiated a restore and finally booted to Win 7. However all was not well.
None of the 32 bit browsers were working, only IE9 64 bit also Malwarebytes will not update and Outlook won't open at all. After searching a bit I downloaded and ran Malwarebyte rootkit removal it found something and looks like it fixed that. A complete scan found some more viruses which got removed. I have tried flushing DNS, releasing and renewing ipconfig, and some other commands all to no avail the browsers still won't work. I have looked at system restore but there are only restores for after the problem occurred.
I have having recurring issues with either my browser or my network. Whenever I go to load a page, it tells me the dns cannot be found, which is strange because vuze and xbox live still work fine.I have this issue with any browser I've tried (IE, FF, GC; all most recent as far as I'm aware). I've tried restarting my router, adjusting the connection settings, winsock reset, reconnecting, and none of it seems to help.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having a strange problem with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit system. I can not connect to the internet with IE9, FireFox or Chrome. Dropbox is not loading and unable run it. I have Mac Drive software installed and it can not start because it loos for the internet to verify license. I can not go to 192.168.1.1 (can not ping it either) which is my router. When starting IE I get a blank white window and after about 20 seconds it closes automatically, Firefox and Chrome both open but can not navigate to any web page. I can however ping from CMD prompt www.yahoo.com, www.aol.com and I launched a gadget with news headlines from MSNBC and it updates fine and displays current headlines. So, some apps can see the internet. I did the following: uninstalled IE, Firefox and Chrome and reinstalled, I ran the manul Winsock reset commands via command line. Disabled network connection and enabled. Ran microsofts Windows Internet Fix. Released all IP information and renewed. I can print to my wireless printer and I do see my local network. All other computers on the router are working (wireless and wired).

Lately when I try connecting with any browser it says I can't like the internet is unplugged. But I can download and install Windows 7 updates. I was maybe thinking it was a virus so I installed Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Malwarebytes wouldn't update but SAS would. It had AVG anti-virus 2011 and I uninstalled it with the Windows built in uninstaller. Then I tried using "avg remover 64 bit" and I got the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running" which is strange because I have the 64 bit version of Windows. I got suspicious and tried running TDSSKiller.exe, rkill.com and some other AV programs but got the same "the version...". I read in a couple of searches that it's probably a virus and since I can't run any AV stand alone program, I suspect it is. When I ran Malwarebytes and SAS, it showed no virus's which I don't believe. Also everything in the Network and Sharing Center is totally normal showing that all is working fine. So if I can't run any of my anti-trojan, etc. programs, I can't see what it might be. This does the same in Safe Mode.
I have just started having a problem that I can see others have had in the past, where my browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) have suddenly stopped being able to display webpages, but only on one of the computers on my local network. In Firefox I get a message "the connection was reset" for every page including connections to local devices (I can't bring up my router page, for example). Here are some of the things I think might be relevant: I have checked to make sure I am not using proxies in either Firefox or Internet Explorer, or in my System Settings This problem seemed to start occurring after I lost all power in my apartment The 64-bit version of Internet explorer DOES still work I can connect to a range of other things (Dropbox, Windows Update, etc)

View 1 Replies View Relatedi bought my laptop about a month ago, its an acer aspire 4739. my specs should be available for you guys to see (atleast, that's what i was told when i signed up).about a couple of weeks ago, i started noticing frequent browser crashes. my default browser is firefox, and it had worked perfectly on windows 7 on my previous laptop. on this one however, it started crashing quite frequently, most often when i had multiple tabs open. sometimes, even sites like google would take 2 minutes to load, and then crash abruptly.
i tried using chrome and ie, and they ended up crashing as well. however, i am currently using ie with add-ons disabled, and it has been working perfectly fine. also of note is that it tells me when i go to Internet using the disabled ie that "you need to upgrade your adobe flash player to watch this video. download it from adobe. (version 11.1.102.55)...but other than that, it works like how a browser should: crash free, no matter how many tabs are open.i tried numerous help suggestions, including uninstalling ff and reinstalling with an upgraded version, doing a clean boot, but both were to no avail. if it helps, the window that pops up says "firefox is not responding" and my choices are "close this program" or "check online" the common thing between all of the firefox crashes have been stackhash errors as faults. for example:
problem signature:
problem event name: appcrash
application name: firefox.exe
application version: 8.0.1.4341
application timestamp: 4ec9a124
