  • Reader X freezes and closes when PDF is opened

    Every time I open a PDF it freezes after about 6 seconds and closes.  The problem detail box shows this:

    I have Windows 7.Home Premium, Service Pack 1.  This problem began about a month or so ago. I have tried the trouble shooter and it says I have a compatibility problem but does not offer a fix.  AARRGH!  I saw a thread about this but now I can't find it again.  It said to change a preference setting but Reader freezes and closes before I can change any settings.  There was mention of a registry key but that is over my head.  =(

    What is your Reader version?
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • MS Access Freezes and Closes when I save a draft email via Outlook 2013

    I have Access 2013 Office 365.  When I email a report from access via Outlook 2013 I have problems.  Outlook opens fine. If I hit send everything is fine. However if I save the email as a draft Access freezes and then closes after a 10- 15 sec delay.
    The email is saved as a draft in Outlook but very annoying to have to reopen my Database .
    The message I get is : MS Access has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
    I tried compact and repair but that didn't help. Also tried turned of add ons. That didn't work.
    Never had this problem with office 2010.  What can I do?
    I just discovered the same thing  is happening in Excel and Word.

  • Firefox freezing, and eventually crashing when opening a tab?

    Just yesterday this started, at first youtube videos froze the browser (but I could still hear them playing) and now I can't even open a tab without firefox freezing and just eventually having to end the process. It was working perfectly before yesterday.

    Can you run Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    Also, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page. Some of them are out of date and you'll need to update those first before we can proceed further.
    By the way, you can view Youtube videos in HTML5 now instead of in Flash. All you need to do is to click the link at the foot of this page: http://www.youtube.com/html5 There's nothing to download and you don't have to fill in any forms. The player will switch automatically once you click that link.

  • Firefox freezes and then greys out

    After a short period of normal use Firefox freezes and when I try to click onto a new page the picture greys out partially. On the top of my screen it says that Firefox is not responding. My only course of action is close the program down. When I do that a small window opens Saying Firefox is not responding and gives the option of closing the program or waiting for it to respond.
    I have tried removing Flash 11.3 and installing 10.3 - no change.
    Tried removing and reinstalling Firefox - no change.
    Disabling all plugins - no Change.
    Tried restoring PC to an earlier point - No change

    Note that a "Reset" creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact, including the cache folder (about:cache) that can take up to 1 GB.

    It is always best to first try some basic steps if web pages aren't working properly.
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Every time that I want to go full screen with an enbedded video firefox freezes and doesn't expand

    1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
    [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

    Please tell us if this helped!
    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].

  • Applications freeze and close frequently

    My first generation iPad frequently freeze and close the application?

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Quit ALL apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why ?

    Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why?
    Windows 7 ,Lenovo G580, 8Gb Mem, 4GB AMD radion graphics card, no other changes other than installing FF18

    in this case the obvious other candidate would be an incompatible extension - can you disable them one-by-one to find out which one is interfering.
    alternatively you could try to reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks & passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • When I try to access my add-ons, firefox freezes and I have to shut it down

    I never used to have any problems but started getting script errors. I have repaired this but now I cannot access my add-ons. Every time I click on it in the Tools menu, Firefox completely freezes and I have to shut it down.

    Do you have the Personas Plus 1.6 extension? If you do that one is known to conflict with Google Toolbar and cause the sort of problems that you are having.
    Try starting Firefox in [[safe mode]] to see if you can access the add-ons manager. If you can and have Persona Plus, try disabling/uninstalling it whilst in safe mode. If you do not have that add-on, another one may be causing problems, to try to track down which one see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    Another thing you can try is deleting the files that store details on installed add-ons, if one of them is corrupt it can cause problems. To do that first open your profile folder, for how to do that see the [[profiles]] article.
    After you have opened the profile folder, close Firefox and delete extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and compatibility.ini. When you re-start Firefox those files will be re-created.

  • Firefox freezes and must be force quit and restart over and over

    Generally firefox freezes after a while when I am using it and I must either close the window or force quit firefox. Also firefox is moving much slower than it did. How might the program be fixed because I really like firefox?

    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
    #'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
    #Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.
