At times when dragging the vertical scroll bar my computer screen oscillates up and down for some time before going blank or not responding to any clicks requiring a forced system restart. What is wrong?

Hi,
Suddenly while working with Firefox if I happen to drag the vertical scroll bar, a very abnormal behavior occurs. My screen dances up and down for a short time before either going black or getting restored but with no clicks working. The only way to resume is to force a restart of the system.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepak

That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

  • Electronic noise is emitted from my computer when manually dragging the vertical scroll bar with hardware accleration enabled, but no noise is emitted when scrolling any other way (ie hyperscroll via mouse wheel).

    [Firefox 4.0]
    When I use my mouse button to hold and drag the vertical scrolling bar, my computer emits a soft grainy sound. However, when I hyper scroll with my mouse wheel, there is no noise.
    I do not get the quiet noise with Internet Explorer. I did not get this with previous versions of Firefox.
    Turning hardware acceleration off resolved this.
    I'm running Windows 7 with a dedicated graphics card (GTX 285).

  • When I open gmail, I cannot use the vertical scroll bar.

    When I use the gmail website on firefox, the vertical scroll bar. As there is no horizontal scroll bar on the website, the vertical scroll bar layers over the top of the page resizer and makes the arrow button for the scroll unusable.
    Please advise.

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

  • Removing the Vertical scroll bar from the content area.

    Hello,
    Is there a way to remove the vertical scroll bar from the content area?
    I am trying to create a new light portal frame work.
    Everything works fine except that I see two vertical scroll bars, one from the content area and another from the page(frame).
    Thanks in advance.
    -Sudheer

    Hi
    There are a couple of ways in which to achieve this
    1) Try and make the content flat. What I mean by this is that the content area (when using the standard light framework) doesn't contain an iframe, meaning that the iview defined on the page has "EMBEDDED" isolation mode. This should mean that you only have one scrollbar (if the content extends past the size of the browser)
    2) If you need to make the iview URL isolation, then try and get the domain of the content to be of a similar domain to your portal server, i.e. your portal is portal.company.com and the content is content.company.com. In this way you can make the pages expand.
    NOTE: One thing to note is that when using URL isolation iviews doesn't allow the automatic expanding of the iframe content. This is because the standard javascript doesn't allow this. Therefore you may have to write your own javascript function (or content area page) to do this
    I hope this helps

  • Adobe Reader move the vertical scroll bar from left to right

    Hi,
    is it possible to move the vertical scroll bar from left to right in Adobe Reader 9?
    If not, are you planning to implement this functionality?

    I meant from right to left, sorry
    You see, I'm left handed and when I use the scroll bar that is on the right side with the left hand I don't actually see the content of the page, because my left hand is covering the screen (I'm browsing the internet in tablet mode and I use the pen to navigate between pages).
    My system is a Tablet PC with Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2.
    P.S. can you edit my post so the google indexes it right? (
    from right to left
    instead of "from left to right")

  • In FF 4.0 why does the down arrow no longer function in the vertical scroll bar?

    Prior to FF 4.0 when I positioned my cursor over the down arrow of the vertical scroll bar in Hotmail and depressed the left mouse button, the scroll bar moved downward toward the bottom of it's column limit. Now in 4.0 it turns into an adjustment cursor forcing me to readjust the size of the Hotmail window rather than moving the scroll bar down the column. This only seems to happen in Hotmail.

  • How can I widen the vertical scroll bar width in Firefox and Thunderbird?

    How can I widen the vertical scroll bar width in Firefox and Thunderbird?

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

    Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
    Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
    And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

    Hello, how are you? On September 13 I bought an iPad and in October bought a game on the app store problem is that when informed the card number dropped normally, but then went on to ask for a new form of payment because one had given any errors, and so not lowered any other game and not upgraded the already downloaded. I do not know what exactly I have to do, because if informed a new payment method continues with the same problem, checked the card bill and really had given an error, because there was no billed the game. I ask you to verify what happened and explain to me what I need to do, because my single card is Visa's and do not intend to return others to use the services of the App Store.
    Thank you for understanding.

    I think you need the app store support. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ Go there and use one of the methods to contact them about your issue and they should be able to help you out.

  • How can I get the vertical scroll bar in firefox for mac to operate more smoothly?

    This scroll bar issue has been a real pain for awhile, though it seemed to be better for a period of time and now has grown much worse again. I'm using Firefox 22.0. I try to grasp the blue scroll bar (right side placement) to move it up or down for pages that require scrolling to view, and it is very hard to hold and move the bar, plus it often bogs down as the colored wheel shows up as if the software is trying to process the action. It's very frustrating. I'm set to "smooth scrolling" in the Firefox settings, but that doesn't help. Is there a way to fix this and make the scroll bar move quickly and smoothly in Firefox for Mac?

  • What can I do to stop the vertical scroll bar from freezing up or vanishing?

    I am mostly in the App Store, but often the vertical (up & down) scroll bar will freeze up so it does not move or while scrolling with it, the bar vanishes!  How can I fix this or can it be fixed?

    The only thing that's worked for me is clicking on a selection (I'm usually in music), and then going back to the main page. Usually, the scroll bar will reappear.  That's a ridiculous jumping through hoops to do something simple, but I haven't found any solution, either.

  • JScrollPane: Can the Vertical Scroll Bar go on the left?

    Hope you can help,
    Im using a JScrollPane within another one, i.e, I have a component inside a JScrollPane, and one of its components is a JScrollPane. This is fine and dandy, but the internal scrolled component gets pretty tall and wide, so people end up using the OUTER horizontal scroll bar to scroll to the INNER vertical scrollbar to scroll DOWN the inner component.
    What would be really nice would be to have the INNER scrolled component to have its scroll bar on the LEFT to save the above hassle.
    Is this possible with JScrolledPane?

    In JScrollPane (jdk1.3)
    public void setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation co)
    Sets the orientation for the vertical and horizontal scrollbars as determined by the ComponentOrientation argument.
    Parameters:
    co - one of the following values:
    java.awt.ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT
    java.awt.ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT
    java.awt.ComponentOrientation.UNKNOWN
