Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. When I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Can this be resolved?

Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. Took me quite awhile to identify, but when I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Once Firefox recognizes this and reinstalls the 6.0.1 update then severe display driver problems occur causing very erratic display behavior and ultimately rendering the system inoperative. The problem appears to occur within a minute or two after Firefox has been opened and it occurs even if Firefox has been subsequently closed prior to the actual event taking place. I have attempted this 6 times just to ensure that the problem was associated with the 6.0.1 update.

On Mac OS, plugins are installed to a common location, usually ''' /Library/Internet Plugins''' for system-wide availability or to '''~/Library/Internet Plugins''' for a specific user. Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Background
Does Java 1.6.0_31 work on Safari or another browser?
I also found the following, in case it helps:

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Embarrassing problem with ATI HD 5850 (Noise + Drivers)

Hi all. First of all let me warn you that I'm French so sometimes my english will probably be inaccurate.
I experience some problems with my graphic card, a MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850, my screen is a Samsung Syncmaster 2233rz.
The drivers I got with my box was the 9.12 version (something like that).
Here are the games I installed :
Quake 2
Quake 4
Quake Live
Killing Floor
Painkiller
Bioshock
Fear
Fear 2
Starcraft
I did some tests with some of them.
With the basic drivers for the CD of the box :
Quake 2 : Doesn't appear in fullscreen mode, or with awful colors, but if I put the opengl option in the video settings then it's ok.
Quake 4 : Seems alright, but I had to choose a particular resolution or the game would just appear in a small windows in the center of the screen.
Starcraft : The game is horrible, appears in a small window in the upright corner of the screen and with terrible colors.
Quake Live : Seems ok but difficult to find a good resolution so that the image takes the whole screen.
Fear 2 : Seems alright...
Now here comes what disturbs me :
Fear : Horrible sound when I enter the menu that comes from the graphic card. Like a whistling sound, like a teapot getting hot.
Painkiller : Same horrible sound, even louder.
This sound was terrible and I wanted to get the window streched out so that Starcraft and other games would appear in fullscreen mode automatically (I couldn't enable it in ATI Catalyst).
So I installed drivers 10.6 :
Quake Live : Problem with some colors, I heard 10.5 and 10.6 wasn't compatible with Quake Live...
Okay...
So I installed 10.4 :
Possibility to make the screen strech in the Catalyst menu so Starcraft was ok.
Fear : Terrible sound in the menu and game + the game crashes (frozen screen) after 30 seconds of gaming.
Painkiller : Terrible sound in the menu, didn't even play.
Quake 4 : Was pretty much okay, only little annoying sound, but crashes after 30 seconds of gaming (same as Fear).
Quake Live : Ok.
Quake 2 : Was pretty much okay, I could play in fullscreen with the opengl thing.
Fear 2 : All seems ok ( !!!!????).
So...I was pissed off because of Fear and Quake 4 crashes.
Then I went back to the 9.12 version :
Quake 4 : Unlaunchable (LOL, it was ok before I installed 10.6 and 10.4...?????????????????????)
Quake 2 : Impossible to go in OpenGl mode (Was possible previously...?????????????????????)
Fear : Horrible sound but the game doesn't crash it seems.
Fear 2 : Seems ok (good game ^^)
Starcraft : The game is horrible, appears in a small window in the upright corner of the screen and with terrible colors. -> Impossibility to activate the automatic stretching again it seems.
Painkiller : Horrible sound, didn't try to play.
Quake Live : Ok.
What can I do ? I'm currently downloading the 10.1 patch. I want to play all the games, not 3 out of 10 with each patch,
and what is this horrible noise my graphic card seems to do when I play some games (not even all...) ? I try to put the fans at maximum with ATI Overdrive (smthing like that) and that sound wasn't here, so where does it comes from...that's a mistery.
If somebody can be of any help I'll be really happy. I have no problem with the sound if that doesn't mean that the card has a problem and will probably explode one day, but the crashing sound and OpenGl problems and all...
What would you advise to that I get a perfect intallation of the 10.1 version ?
P.S : Thanks, of course !

I just stopped the test because it was 52 minutes already...
I did the test with render open GL 3, now I'm going to do it with open Gl 2
I chose full screen 1680 x 1050 and MSAA 8x
Maximum temp : 64°, mini 44°, it stayed between 60 and 63 in general.
Average fps 3xx, maximum 41x, mini 12x.
Well your VGA is fine then

Now here is what I experience when I play those games :
Quake 4 : Crash after 30 seconds - 1 minute of playing, grey screen with green bars or just frozen screen. I have to alt + tab and use ctrl + alt + del to close it.
FEAR : Huge noise from the graphic card in the menus, like a teapot whistling, and screen freezes after 30 seconds of playing : alt + tab -> The display driver AMD driver has stopped responding but have been recovered blablabla".
Bioshock : After the intro movie, I hear the sound but the screen is black permanently, I have no other solution than reseting my PC.
Painkiller : Huge noise from the graphic card in the menus, like a teapot whistling, and screen freezes after 30 seconds of playing : alt + tab -> The display driver AMD driver has stopped responding but have been recovered blablabla".
Fear 2 : All seems alright.
Starcraft : Dito.
Quake Live : Dito.
Quake 2 : Dito.
Killing Floor : Dito.
Look for latest game patches, try different VGA drivers if needs too.
It's not hardware issue.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pix

Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pixels
I have a Macro 8 core purchased just 4 months ago with the ATI Radeon HD 2600. Just started getting what looks like electrical interference or flickering pixels all over the screen. It gets worse and worse to the point where i see and cant work then clears up for an hour and then comes back.
If I change the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1600x1200 everything looks fine and the problem goes away.
Monitor works fine on two other computers, driver is up to date.
Would like to upgrade at some point just disappointed that I’m already having problems.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, in the mean time I’ll searching the forums.
Thanks,

When you called Applecare or went to a Genius bar were they of no help?

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

I have a £50 gift voucher and I tried to buy something with it, but it tells me there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and makes me put in my debit card details. My debit card has no money atm, can't I just pay with my voucher?

I have a £50 gift voucher and I tried to buy something with it, but it tells me there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and makes me put in my debit card details. My debit card has no money atm, can't I just pay with my voucher for the things that have a billing problem? I tried to put my voucher code in again but it won't let me do that.

If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

The warranty is NOT international. You must take it back to the country of origin if it needs repair. The E.U. is considered a single country for warranty purposes.
