Thunderbird opens in Windows 8.1 then stops responding. Why?

I cannot use Thunderbird and have reverted to Windows Live Mail which I hate. I can open Thunderbird. It will show any new emails but if I attempt to click on any thing else the program stops responding. I have tried to uninstall without success so that I can try a new download - equally without success. Anyone out there can help please? I'm running Windows 8.1 on a HP 64 bit All-in-one.

Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

- Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
- XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx
Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Does the problem go away?

    Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding, why? WiFi is connected.

    It could very well be the the server holding the web page you are trying to access has stopped responding. Just because you are connected to your Wi-Fi network does not mean that every possible web page will be available.

  • Firefox opens a home page and then stops responding

    I had no trouble until this evening when there was an update.
    When I go to a website (I have tried a few) the home page opens.
    When a try to open another page on the site I get the hourglass and Firefox stops responding. I have to close it using Task Manager and use Opera or Mousie instead. This started this evening. I was only offered a message to Microsoft.

    Not really a reply just some more info. Task Manager shows two identical instances of FF. Both close when you try to remove one.
    I decided to try reinstalling - Add/remove could not remove FF. The reason - it must have been uninstalled already!!!

    Hi Guys:-
    If this SAME problems is effecting us all then suspect its not IPS problem as we all get problem at 995.6MB.
    I would think that there is some kind of software conflict.  If we all having this problem just think of how many users have the same but are not on this discussion board, bet you its 100s and 100s.
    Not possible for me to visit store now but will monitor your responce's. 
    Good luck guys, lets make um give us a fix:- I will call them tomorrow and see what they say:-  should point support to this Discussion page and they can answer us !
    Cheers and good luck also

  • Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?

    Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == not sure - about 2 weeks ago maybe. I recently upgraded to vn 3.6.8

    This is a workstation first off, right? 60 lbs or so?:
    And you have 10.7.2, if not why not?
    Quad core 2.8GHz? 3 x 2GB RAM or more?
    Consider new Mac Pro comes with 1TB drive 50% is actually a lot. Most users off load non system stuff to one of the other 4 hard drive bays.
    As for youtube I do read and saw threads when Lion came out. Lion does not support Rosetta aka PPC/PowerPC code of any kind, plug-ins, drivers and software all. Check into Lion Community?

  • Safari could not open this page because the server stopped responding

    Since upgrading to 4.2 I get this message a lot even though the page loads anyway:
    "safari could not open this page because the server stopped responding"

    Have you Checked your firewall setting(of both windows and of the Anti Virus).
    I was Having the same Problem, and tried everything from the Internet, then i realised that firewall can mess things up and so i immediately TURNED OFF the firewall and restarted my Network and my Ipod ....THE INTERNET WORKED
    i am using win vista and McAfee.
    want to add few more things:
    1> adjusting brightness has nothing to do with Networking.
    2> Multiplayer/online games also get into problem due to antivirus firewall(AVG anitvirus specially.....Disabling firewall or setting it to permit the Device/program to access Internet WORKS)
    3>to know if the problem is with the Idevice or with the System, try connecting other devices to that netwrk, if non of them connect then its the problem with the System/Network/OS and not with the Device........Resetting you Idevice again and again will not Solve the problem.
    Happy Idevicing

    When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • My iPad shows Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. How can I access Safari?

    I cannot acces Safari (for the past three days) A message shows 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. How can I rectify this?

    Well, you are accessing Safari.  It's just that there's a page it's trying to access on the web, one that you last used, and that website is not available.  When looking at the dead page in Safari, tap the lower right icon to shrink down the page and then tap the "x" to get rid of it.  You can then try going to another site.

    The only option it appears you didn't try is to clear your cache and cookies.  So, go into settings > safar > Clear Cookies, then Clear Cache and see if that helps.....

    Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding can anyone help me please

    Hi ..
    Restart your router then try Safari.
    If that doesn't help, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
