When I open my browser the first page never finishes loading. I just upgraded to 4 and have installed/uninstalled two times. Running Vista. Must use IE for now--help!

Started immediately after upgrading to 4. I am forced to use Task Manager to close the window. Oftentimes doesn't work for several minutes. Tried to get prior version back but cannot locate to download. I'm using IE which i hate.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

When I open my browser, the web page area is completely black and the menu area is empty, how can I fix this?

When I open firefox, nothing shows up but an empty browser. The web area is completely black and if I right click to open up the little menu, that is also black. The top of the browser is empty and none of the menu buttons appear, none of my bookmarks appear, and none of the search bars or anything appear. Firefox was working fine and then the next time I started my laptop up this is what I experienced. There is absolutely nothing I can do in Firefox. If I right click the top menu area, the smaller menu is completely black but if I click around in it I can see it adding and removing my toolbars and such but I still cannot see anything besides black space and empty space.

hello, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem.

in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour

I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour is this normal?

The charger block is universal and is able to handle multiple votages. One hour to reach 50% seems fine to me if the phone was completely flat to start with. Just leave it on charge for as long as it takes to reach 100%. I leave mine connected overnight all the time and it does not harm the battery

Hi everyone!
I will be posting this in all "weird sounds topics" just so you know.
These "weird" sounds you hear are from pacman.
Today is Pacmans 30:th birthday and google wanted to celebrate by making the pacman game playable at their website "www.google.com".
You will notice that their logo is changed to pacman with the map swapped out to the text "google".
The game will probably just be here today so all noises will be gone by tomorrow. If you don't want to hear the sound today then please don't visit google or just turn your volume down.
Yours sincerely: LAwLz

You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
Did you install any programs yesterday?
If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.

ColdFusion with IIS URL Rewrite - Page never finishes loading

I am running CF10 on IIS 7.5 with URL Rewrite module installed.
All the rewrite rules work perfectly and ColdFusion is returning the correct pages. In order to get the page displayed in the browser I have to manually set the 'content-length' value in Application.cfc like this:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="onRequestEnd">
<cfheader name="Content-Length" value="#getPageContext().getCFOutput().getBuffer().size()#" />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Without this code the browser does not display the page. However, even though it is now displaying the page, it is not doing it correctly. The page never finishes loading fully and not all of the HTML content seems to be on the page.
I have tried to add a <cfflush> tag after setting the 'content-length' but it makes no difference. I don't understand why this is happening but I know that it has happened to someone else who was using htaccess: http://forums.devshed.com/coldfusion-development-84/page-not-finishing-loading-coldfusion- and-htaccess-bug-575906.html
Can anyone please help?

Hi guys,
I would like to do url rewriting on our CF app but am worried I'll break something if I try and do it myself - is there anyone who would be interested in a bit of consultancy to help us achieve this?
I want to turn http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/search-results.cfm?sector=21&q=part-time-jobs
into http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/part-time-jobs
I've tried this using IIS and URL Rewrite, when I browsed to http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/search-results.cfm?sector=21&q=part-time-jobs
my browser was redirected to http://www.allchichesterjobs.com/part-time-jobs ok - but then I got a 404 error
I'm wondering if I can pay someone to remote view my screen while we talk on skype and tell me what to do?
Hope it's ok to post this sort of request on here
Thanks very much indeed.

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

When publishing to PDF, only the first page is published.

Have not been able to find the setting to allow all the pages to be published. In Word or WordPerfect, when I publish to pdf it only publishes the first page.
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat, absolutely, does not control Corel WP publish to PDF.
Nor does it control the MS Office 2007 Save As to PDF-XPS process.
Corel's WP "publish" to PDF does not involve any Adobe / Acrobat related processes.
Until recent releases, WP used an 'in house' routine to create PDFs.
Not that long ago Corel hooked up with Nuance to provide an improved "publish to PDF" feature.
With regards to Corel's WP file format; it is good to know that neither older WP versions nor the current version is an Adobe PDFMaker "supported" format .
I suspect that this is due to Corel having made the business decision to go their own way with providing a PDF output process.
Best bet for obtaining WP file to PDF information is at Corel's WP user forums which have knowledgeable and helpful participants.
As to Word - again, the MS Office Save As to PDF-XPS method is totally a MS process.
No Acrobat involvement.
What may be the source of the issue you have is a possible conflict between the Nuance stuff and the Acrobat stuff.
It is not uncommon to encounter conflicts when multiple PDF creation processes are installed.
Regardless, the issue you have is not an Acrobat exclusive one.
Be well...

Grab the bottom right corner and expand it. Quit the browser and start it again and see if it retains your setting.

When I print from Firefox the first page prints fine but the 2nd and proceding pages print larger and partialy off the page

Happens anytime I print while in firfox

Looks like you have '''Print Background (color & images)''' enabled on for all three printers you have installed, Adobe PDF included. ''I see those settings in your More system details.'' That's why you are getting the grey (monochrome Laserjet) or blue background, but that should be printed on the first page, too.
File > Page Setup - un-check that preference

I have a lot of tabs saved so they open when I open Firefox, but the first tab always changes into my homepage, Google. Is there any way to stop this?

I have 20+ tabs always open on Firefox and it's set to remember them. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes from what I had open there into my homepage, Google. I can use the "go backward" thing to get to the page I had there, but since it goes back to Google every time I restart the browser that gets tedious.
The only way to solve this that I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and let it be Google. However, I'd like some actual solution that stops this from happening if possible.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

Every time I close down after the days use when I open it again the main page is corrupt and I have to re-install the firefox again can I stop this happening

When I open firefox first thing it opens but the home page is not working. So I have to re-install it. Then it is ok for the rest of the day but only to go down again the following day. What can I do to stop this happening? I use bt.com home page.

1. Reset the Internet Browser settings. Taking the Internet Explorer for example.
1). Close allInternet ExplorerandWindowsExplorer windows that are currently open. Open Internet Explorer by clicking theStartbutton. In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, and then, in the list of results, click Internet Explorer. Click theToolsbutton, and then click Internet options.
2). Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset. Select the Delete personal settingscheck box if you would also like to remove browsing history, search providers, Accelerators, home pages, Tracking Protection, andActive X Filtering data.
3). In theResetInternet ExplorerSettings dialog box, clickReset. When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, click Close, and then click OK.
4). CloseInternet Explorer.Your changes will take effect the next time you openInternet Explorer.
2. Reset homepage as bt.com again.
3. clear out all cokkies and browsing history.

When I open Firefox, I get a page that says that Firefox did not direct properly and to try again. When I click the try again, the home page opens. What can I do to avoid this. It just started today. Rebooting does not help.

This happens only with the home page when I open the browser.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.
