Solve : changed to firefox, yahoo still opens with IE - why?? |
|
Answer» Quote I had a value of 3 - what does that mean?This is correct value. That means, that any EXTERNAL link should OPEN in a new tab in Firefox. Quote there's anything I can do about having Firefox as browser to open up ONTO my Yahoo homepageIn Firefox, go Tools>Options>Main, and set it up like this: Quote I can't even create a new shortcut on my desktop with FirefoxIn Windows Explorer go: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox right click on firefox.exe Click SEND To>Desktop(create shortcut) |

Solve : Firefox crashes after some interval? |
|
Answer» Hi, Download BlueScreenView:Does that really apply to a browser crash? As I understand the OP's situation, his browser crashed, not his OS, not his computer, so he does not actually get BSOD screens. Quote from: sagngh8 link=topic=113955.msg762792#msg762792 I am trying to take the screen shot of the browser using selenium Rc.Why not just use the Print Screen button on your keyboard? Holding the Alt key before pressing the Print Screen button captures only the active window, not the entire screen; that's useful when you want to capture a window that does not cover your entire display area. From one of the many many threads you've started all over the place about this: Quote It would probably be more helpful to go into Firefox and enter "about:crashes" in the address bar (without the quotes), and click on one or more of the most recent crashes logged, and copy that info over to this thread. That as well as trying Firefox with all addons disabled except for Selenium IDE. Quote from: soybean on December 20, 2010, 08:13:22 AM Does that really apply to a browser crash?We won't know until we see the report, will we? I'd like to be sure.Quote from: Allan on December 20, 2010, 09:11:40 AM We won't know until we see the report, will we? I'd like to be sure.Well, I'm not familiar with that diagnostic app but will a report even be generated if no actual BSOD occurs? Again, the issue here is a browser crash, not BSOD.BSODViewer is for viewing BSOD ERRORS. BSOD errors are from kernel MODE faults. the "program.exe has stopped working" errors are General Protection faults that occur in user mode. No dump information will be stored where BlueScreenViewer will look for it. Firefox stores dump information when it crashes (and uploads it to Mozilla, if "submit crash reports" is enabled) These are accessed by using about:crashes to view such information, and provide Firefox-specific information about the state of the program when it crashed, as well as what plugin/addons/extensions and so forth are installed. However, googling for their error message, firefox, as well as this "selenium" product, it is not an uncommon problem, even if we ignore the 6 or 7 other forums that this exact question has been copy-pasted to. Since the program in question acts as a firefox plugin, either the plugin itself is causing the problem or the plugin is conflicting with some other installed plugin. Thus my suggestion to try running with only the selenium plugin active. (Safe mode would fix the problem but only because they would no longer be using the add-on at all).You guys are right and I'm wrong. I took a quick look at the error message and thought it was a crash dump not an app error. My mistake and thanks for keeping the OP on track |

Solve : Firefox - when opening, loads last website? |
|
Answer» Whenever I open my browser, it opens to the last web page rather than the home page IE. it seems the last web page I was using does not get closed out.Are the settings correct in TOOLS - Options - Home Page?Yep, that be it. Whenever I open my browser, it opens to the last web page rather than the home page ie. it seems the last web page I was using does not get closed out.What were your settings in Firefox when it was BEHAVING this way? I believe that's not an actual setting in Firefox. |

Solve : Internet 7.0 will not stay open when accessed.? |
|
Answer» I recently started having serious probems with my Internet 7.0. I am fairly sure its not a virus. I haven't added any additional programs recently. This PC may be possessed [kiding]. Here are the symptoms. When clicking on the Explorer Icon the access to the web begins, but immediately shuts down. It pops open then closed. Just that simple. Then the blue screen of death comes up. It says: A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON PAGE_AREA. It suggests to remove BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. However the PC needs to be in safe mode. I can get the PC in safe mode. I'm just not sure how to do this and accomplish the removal TASK. A dialogue box pops up with additional information REGARDING my attempts to get to the web. "The instruction at "Ox7eje3834" referred memory at "Ox 000000." The memory could not be written." Not very helpful to me. What I have done so far.Don't know what any of those things mean but let's not worry about that right now. Does this only happen when you open IE - no other time? Do other browsers work (Firefox, OPERA, Safari)? Have you run a diagnostic on your ram? Allan, It only happens when I try to open IE 7. It opens very briefly and closes down very fast I do not have any other browsers at this time. I am not sure how to run a diagnostic on my RAM, but if you can give me clear directions I would be happy to give it a try . Would running this diagnostic tool tell me what kind of ram I have? Hey, don't know, but I like to learn. Thanks.Let's start by downloading and installing Firefox. I'd like to see if the problem is with IE or with accessing the web. Download it on another system, copy it to usb drive or cd or whatever you like and then copy to the problem system and install. |

Solve : IE 7 doesn't open some pages? |
|
Answer» Hi, have a rather strange problem with IE7. On some sites, when I click a link, it says it cannot open it and a blank page appears. Refreshing the page sometimes HELPS, sometimes not, randomly. I've tried reinstalling java and flash, disabling all add ons in IE, nothing seems to work. There isn't such problem if I open the same pages in Google Chrome browser. My system is WinXP pro SP2. Any ideas PLEASE?1) Upgrade to SP3 There isn't such problem if I open the same pages in Google Chrome browser.Then, why not just use Chrome, or another browser such as Firefox? Still, I'd upgrade Win XP to SP3 and upgrade IE to 8, as ALLAN suggested. You need SP3 for CONTINUED support from Microsoft for Windows updates. IE8 had some kinks when first released by those problems seem to have been resolved long ago. So, installing SP3 didn't help, but the upgrade to IE8 seems to work, all pages open properly Thanks everybody for advice! Cheers, jimmy2Glad you're all straightened out. And you needed to install sp3 anyway, so this was as GOOD an excuse as any to do it |

Solve : My searches keep getting hi-jacked!? |

Answer» I would think that someone has dealt with this before, but I can not find it on here. I use IE 7. When I do a google search and click on one of the results I am directed to another generic looking search or some kind of shopping WEBSITE for the search I did. If I click back and reclick on the link it takes me to a DIFFERENT page of the same kind. When I click back again and click on the link it takes me where I WANTED to go initially. Does anyone have a remedy. I ran an updated spybot and that did not do the trick.Your browser most likely got hijacked.

Console error log has numerous references to Approx 25 percent of the bottom part of my screen is not been usedAre you talking about your desktop, or Firefox page?Apologies: meant to say Firefox/Yahoo start page. If i try explorer i can't SEEM to get to Yahoo at all .It may be using a cached page that has errors in it. Try re-setting your Firefox Start page to none...then login to Yahoo and if it appears normal re-set the page to your homepage...Those errors look to me like some Java problems.

If i use ie i don't have the problem . I tried going to firefox forum for help but when registering it just sent me back to previous register screen; finally i give up . Will try another time .

Still have same issues when using Firefox . IE loads FINE . Browsed firefox forum but material is much to technical for me so.. guess i switch browsers . Thks for the suggestions though .I DOUBT this is a FireFox issue...sounds like it is on Yahoo's end....do you have a link to the page ?Not sure what you mean by " link to the page " but i tried using Goggle as a start page from Firefox and i still have same issues . I am in process of quering Firefox issues through their web site and will report back to CH forum on results . Thanks again for the suggestions CDOFireFox Update : My firefox problems with screen display have been solved . After trying a variety of things that had not worked i simply did a search function for firefox.exc and went back to a previous install .

Solve : Computer will not load certain websites? |

Answer» Hi guys, What OS and SP are you running?What would that have to do with this particular issue?Quote from: Allan on December 02, 2010, 05:52:27 AM What would that have to do with this particular issue?I think it's called troubleshooting.The question is not relevant to the problem. And I was not rude to you - I expect you to show the same courtesy.Many times the issue that people experience in not being able to load certain websites properly are the result of disabled plugins or not having the plugins installed at all. Do you have Javascript enabled in your web browser? Also do you have Java and Adobe Flash installed on your COMPUTER (current versions of each program)? Most "speed tester" websites rely on Flash or Java as an interface to perform their tests. If the site requires the PLUGIN and it is not installed the website will not function properly.Quote from: Allan on December 04, 2010, 03:23:47 PM The question is not relevant to the problem. And I was not rude to you - I expect you to show the same courtesy.I apologize Allan, I was having an off day and wasn't really thinking when I posted the reply. I thought it was funny at first until rereading it. Not an excuse, just an apology.Quote from: drrixo on November 27, 2010, 09:50:26 PM I have done a reformat and reinstalled Windows as I thought this would fix the problem but the problem continues to happen.Has this been resolved? If not, what happens when you try to visit these sites? I see www.jamplay.com uses Flash. Do you have the Flash add-on for your browser installed? |

Solve : Can no longer download large files on web browsers? |
|
Answer» I use a laptop with Windows Xp. and I've been using wireless broadband, without any problems for about a year, but I recently starteed to have problems with my FireFox browser, being no longer able to download large files (mp4). Althouhgh it always finishes a large download file as a 100% complete, eventhough only a fraction of the file has downloaded. I restorted to using th Internet Explorer8, to get round the problem, but now IE8 wont download large files either. I then altered browser download config in FF, but that didnt work. Then tried reinstalling FF, and that didnt work either. What shoud I do? Does your ISP have a limit on bandwidth use? Any change is this since you posted your question here? There are many different issues that can result in downloads not completing properly. I find the issue you are experiencing is very COMMON in wireless networks as numerous things can affect your connectivity. Once your connectivity is interrupted the download usually stops and is broken. Reasons why connectivity may drop includes wireless router issues, wireless network card issues, and the LOCAL environment that may have an impact on the signal transmission. WEB browsers are not the BEST way to download large files, especially wirelessly. I strongly recommend installation of a download manager to download large files. A good free download manager is "Free Download Manager." Download managers have the ability to reconnect to the web server you are downloading from if the signal become interrupted and resume downloading where it stopped if the server support resuming. |

Solve : I E 8 vs Firefox? |
|
Answer» FIREFOX is by far better the IE8, but I still use Chrome and IE8 as well. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Chrome is the fastest with the fewest problems, but it also has the fewest plugins, plus there is some functionality that I don't get in Chrome that I like better in Firefox. When I need to use IE8, I use a plugin for firefox called IE Tab Plus. It LETS you open an IE8 window inside of a firefox tab. Sweet!Sweet as it may seem but using it very often will make your firefox crash in the LONG run so be careful using itI dont know why but my computers starts lagging HARD when I play games like BEJEWELED Blitz of FB poker. I tend to use google chrome because it runs smoother than firefox, but that is just me. I do not know if anyone else had that problem, but I only use Google to play games on FB and other websites. I still love firefox thoughI would recommend using Firefox not only because of its easy "find updates for all plugins" function, but also because it has more addons which give you more ability on the web. Maybe this will help you and others decide: |

Solve : FF -Shoul SSL be used more often?? |
|
Answer» This is about a FF plug-in. Seoul SSL be used more often? Does it matter? What if others can see what you are watching? Do you care if others read your mail? Look at this quote: Quote GMail was the first major email provider to enable SSL on all users' sessions. Google software engineer Adam Langsley noted that Google needed no additional hardware or software, and that SSL encryption adds less than one per cent to Google's computational load. So it really isn't costly to implement SSL. WIFI Sidejacking -Bob Rankin Here is a VIDEO - Please watch. What Is a Sidejacking Attack? Bear in mind there are over 100,000 open 'hot spots' just in the USA.Your News issues have something to be desired... This is a non-ISSUE...and hardly worth noting.Quote from: Geek-9pm on November 18, 2010, 01:11:49 PM OH, you've been to South Korea? I wonder why Google can use SSL for their email and still perform better than Yahoo! Mail, which does not use SSL. Another case where Google excels with speed.

Uninstall it and go back to the previous version if there's a problem.Quote from: adriannejr on November 24, 2010, 04:33:27 AM Try Rockmelt, it is a new browser and will blow your mind. It's in limited circulation for now though, and you will need an invite, but it really redefines browsing. Several things: It's not a "new browser" judging from the screenshots I've found it's clearly based on either Chrome or Chromium, probably the latter. Both of those are good browsers but "Rockmelt" shouldn't be allowed to take full credit for what they essentially took from another browser. Seems the big difference here is that they have bookmarks and links running down the two sides of the screen. Yep, that totally redefines browsing*, what with the facebook and social networking links everywhere. Remove those, and you've just got chrome/chromium with a few UI changes. (Note how I say "changes" and not "improvements") With regard to Beta software, when it comes to browsers, I personally don't see the point. the last FF beta I used was the beta of 3.0; sure, they changed the back/forward buttons and a few other things, but truthfully it wouldn't have mattered if I had kept with FF 2 and simply upgraded when it was released. Really, If I have a choice between one version marked "stable" and another marked "Beta" I'll go for the former every time... (unless the latter has a feature I really need). It's a DIFFERENT version. For some reason people seem to think that "Beta=Cool". It doesn't. It means it's generally untested and/or in earlier development. I like the idea of having an Open Beta, but I'll let other people be the free guinea pigs. I'll just use the release version. * That was sarcasm.

Solve : firefox plugin folder? |
|
Answer» I am in the process of trying to fix the problem of not being able to update to java 6/3. After doing some research I FOUND out that I may need to delete java plugin dll file NPOJI610.dll from the firefox plugin folder, and then trying to install java. Here is the EMBARRASSING question coming from a person who is not very well versed in computers.................how do I access the Firefox plugin FOLDERS?? I don't know if this helps or not but I am running Firefox 2.0.0.9 as my default browser and Windows XP NPOJI610.dll can be found in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin folder |

Solve : internet explorer 7 closes? |
|
Answer» My pc has been fine, till the other day. I try to log on to Internet Explorer 7, and it starts to load up, then it goes away. I can log into the internet with foxfire, and I uninstalled and reinstalled IE 7, but the problem remains. Any suggestions? I am running XP pro. Thanks for your help.There were some issues with IE7 but that was awhile back...try DLoading and installing a fresh copy.I did that and still the same thing. Before I can do anything on the page, it disappears. So frustrating. But at least I have foxfire to get online with. But I really WANT to clear this problem with IE up. Any other suggestions? thanksI assume, Firefox works fine, and you're on Windows XP? |

Solve : Commercials from IE while its not running?! help!? |
|
Answer» Here is the deal, I've been trying to find some forum with this problem and a solution for it. No luck so thought I'd post here and see if I can get some help or a answer to this problem. I run Firefox on my PC first off. So on with the problem. I'll be playing a GAME or poker or just browsing on firefox and all of a sudden I start hearing commercial adds, kinda like a radio station coming threw my PC speakers. I close all programs when this first did it. The noise / sounds were still coming threw. So I opened my Task Manager, to my surprise Internet EXPLORER was running between 20 and 60% of my processing power. So I ended the task, and like MAGIC the sounds stopped. Now I don't mind shutting down IE via task manager when this happens but its rather annoying if I want to open ANOTHER program due to the fact I can no longer see my desktop. So anyone have this problem or know a solution for it Please I beg for a answer. thanks.Sounds like a spyware infection to me. |

Solve : IE History not working for limited users? |
|
Answer» When I run IE on my recently acquired PC running XP Pro, the history is not accessible for limited users. When I run as an administrator, it works fine. For the limited ACCOUNTS when I open history I just see the .dat file and a couple folders in what should be the history directory. When I got this MACHINE it had IE 6 installed, so I installed IE 7 to see if that would help, but the same thing occurs. |
