I am using firefox 6 and if I right click and click on open in new window both my windows hang

when I right click and click on open in new window.
both my windows hang.
The machine becomes slow and firefox does not respond till I close the new window.
(I have not tried if it helps if I close the main window).
the new page does not load and if there is a tab that is loading on the old window it does not load as well.

Did you look in Customize (View > Toolbars > Customize) to see if your "New Tab" is there and should be moved to a toolbar.
You are so not up to date with Firefox that you might as well stay with what you have until it breaks. Make sure you maintain backups of your profile and all personal data to external media, preferably an external hard drive.

ITunes on Windows hangs when in ringtone editor

iTunes on Windows hangs when in ringtone editor. I get this quite often when editing a ringtone and it hangs for 1+ minutes (had it come back after 1 minute once but other times over 5 min and killed iTunes to get control again). This plus the iTunes + songs not letting you make a ringtone (they should have cought that in QA unless they skipped QA on this).
Brian -- just wanting ringtones for my iPhone.

Try this
Go into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.

Add-on window hangs when I try to click any extension's options.

I open the Add-on's window. I go to Extensions. I highlight one and get the Options/Enable/Disable buttons. As soon as I hit any button, the Add-on window hangs/freezes. I have tried going to Safe Mode, disabling all extensions checked, and then the extensions themselves disabled one by one in the Add-on window, then re-enabling one extension at a time. No matter what Extension it is, I get the same result, so I don't think it is a problem with the Extensions themselves. Thank you for any advice.

The add-ons tool window hangs when I click Options for any add-on

This morning, IE8 showed up as the default browser. Also, the Lastpass button was missing. When I click Tools-Add-ons and click the Options button for any add-on, the window hangs. Sometimes it hangs FF as well.

I resolved this by using a different add-on.
I was issued a new computer at work. It's a Windows 7 Dell E6410, and I was configuring a new installation of Firefox for it. I had downloaded the same URL shortening tool that I used on my old Windows XP IBM T60 computer. That add-on had the hang when you click on "Options" from the Tools > Add-ons menu. After uninstalling the add-on, I searched for a different URL shortening tool, and this one did NOT produce the hang.

Windows hangs boot after upgrading any software

Hi,
My Windows 8 Pro x64 Dell XPS8500 machine developed a really weird problem. (The problem actually began a while back - first noticed maybe 4-6 month ago - but only now trying to fix it.) It re/boots fine so long as I don't try to install anything.
However, installing any software upgrades causes Windows to hang on boot. The software upgrades that I tried are Evernote, iTunes, Java VM, and all of them are triggering the same behavior. All this aforementioned software seeming doesn't have
anything in common. The only known upgrades that do not appear to trigger the issue are Firefox and Chrome (where upgrades happen more or less in passive fashion) There is no clear event that I can recall in the past that I can attribute this happening
to (i.e. I can't pin point to something like installing a driving and it failing immediately afterwards) - just one day a message popped up to upgrade iTunes, which I did, and then rebooted to experience the issue.
Here are the steps to describe what happens with a bit more detail and troubleshooting steps tried:
Manually launch upgrade of an existing software. (Tried Evernote, iTunes, Java VM)
Successfully go through the install/upgrade. Seems irrelevant if software asks for reboot or not. Machine works fine until rebooted.
Reboot the machine. Machine shuts down without any issues.
BIOS POST is successful, and Dell logo with jumping/circulating dots comes up.
There is a normal flurry of hard-disk activity for a few seconds, which after a few seconds reduces to none or sometimes/occasionally to very brief flashing a few seconds apart. This is where the problem is noticed. It can stay like that for
hours if not days (normal boot takes about 20-30 seconds).
Typically, if there is no hard-disk activity at all, pressing the power button causes one brief flash, followed by one more about 1-3 seconds later, and no change.
The only recourse is to force turn off by holding power button for few seconds.
Letting it try to boot again leads to the same behavior.
Repeating attempts to boot 3-4 times causes Automatic Recovery to kick in.
The only way to get the machine to boot again is to use Recovery to restore to a previous state. This sometimes requires to be done more than once and doesn't fix on the first try.
(Also, I enabled Win boot menu, and couple of times instead of waiting for Automatic Recovery to kick in, tried to use recovery through the menu - in that case it's more likely to require the procedure to be done more than once).
I tried to do a logged boot to capture log file in one of the cases where it boots - it appears to never produce \Windows\ntbtlog.txt file (possible I didn't do something right for this one, though I thought that file is never deleted and only grows)
Additional Info: SysRestore currently displays only two available points:
6/13/14 - Installed Evernote v. 5.4 - Type Install
6/9/14 - Automatic Restore Point - Type System
All other previous restore points (from having installed a few more updates and software in the 1.5 years I had the machine) are gone somewhere.
Choosing to revert to the second restore point (when selecting restore point from boot menu) as opposed to the first one and later booting successfully, for some reason the same restore points are listed again (so it doesn't seem to be truly reverting)
Nothing fruitful appears in the EventLog. The only critical messages that i see there are both from SCM and one reads "The Dell Digital Delivery Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)." and the other "The
system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." (which is expected). And there is a warn level entry about some Bluetooth device not being
able to enter power save mode. That's it for system event logs.
At this point I'm totally stuck trying to figure this one out, or even trying to figure out how to obtain information on where it gets stuck. This is worse than having a BSOD as with BSOD at least there is some info on what's happening. Here
I don't even see where it gets stuck or what's preventing from booting successfully.
Please help!!!

Here is the link to the SrtTrail.txt file:

Again, let me clarify the situation as well as provide some additional information that I discovered since original post. Per original post - I can boot into the system up and until installer gets activated either by trying to uninstall or upgrade
existing software or install new one. At the time, the only way I could get the system to boot again was to let it fail boot twice and on the third attempt let it perform system restore from a restore point, and then it would boot again (with all the
installed/updated/uninstall changes wiped out)
Since then I discovered the following additional behavior points:
I managed to get it to accept couple of software upgrades by using roughly the following steps: let it fail boot twice. On the third attempt instead of choosing system restore I instead cancel or choose advanced options (depending on what it offers).
Typically it goes either through some system analysis or disk check for errors - wait and it doesn't find anything. When presented with a menu of other recovery options (like changing UEFI, command prompt, etc), I simply choose to exit and continue loading
windows. At this point it sometimes (I'd say 1 out of 3 times) manages to boot successfully, retaining all the changes (i.e. retaining software updates and the like). If it doesn't succeed booting, repeat until it does. Using these steps
I managed to update most of software so far, including windows update. But each time it's a struggle to get it to boot again.
Simply rebooting the system without any changes succeeds most of the time. However, today I noticed that a plain reboot (without any installer/uninstaller/update or any other system/soft/config changes) doesn't always succeed, requiring the same process
as in previous bullet point to get it to boot again.
I also noticed an additional behavior - my keyboard an mouse have some buttons that are illuminated (on dell keyboard those are media buttons, and on the dell mouse it is mouse sensitivity indicator). I noticed that when windows boot up, the keyboard and
mouse lights go out simultaneously. If they come back about a second or two later (with one flicker in between), then system boots up fine (the moment they come back, the system displays the logon screen with the seatle space needle). However,
if they don't come back, then the boot will hang there for ever. Is it possible that some driver sometimes succeeds to be loaded correctly, and sometimes fails to load causing Windows to perpetually wait for that driver to finish loading (which it never
does)? If that sounds like a possibility, how can I find out what is it that windows is doing when it starts to perpetually wait for whatever it is waiting for? Tell me what logs would help to understand that and how to capture those!
Also note that I run Avira Antivir antivirus (ever since I got this PC), and it doesn't flag anything suspicious on the system. I also ran MalwareBytes scan which found no suspects, as well as GMER rootkit scanner (which as far as i can tell, also
did not find anything suspicious).
There is another oddity that is going on with the system - may or may not be related, so mentioning just in case it is - which is that I'm using Dropbox, and it keeps creating "My Videos" folder on the Desktop, even though it is way outside of my dropbox
root. Deleting the folder doesn't help as the moment I right-click on the Desktop, it re-appears. It, oddly enough, also appears in C:\Users\{profile} folder right along side real "My Videos" folder. Looking properties of both in explore
shows in the property pages that one is located in C:\Users\{profile} and another in C:\Users\{profile}\Desktop (and again, yet both of those explore shows in C:\Users\{profile}). Like I said, not sure if these are related (I suspect not, but who knows),
so mentioning just in case.
Note that I'm trying to fix it without going through refresh or reset since the first one would cause the pain to reinstall of all the software on the system (without any indication that this would solve the issue), and the later option would just completely
wipe out everything off of the system, which is even more painful, and again would not guarantee solution (e.g. if it is a bad driver that would get reinstalled anyway after wipe. Yes, I technically do have backups, but those are more for drastic case if my
harddrive crashes, and wouldn't want to rely on those to voluntarily wipe the system due to odd behaviors - too painful and time-consuming. I'm looking for a solution to problem rather than just-start-from-the-beginning-because-it-is-easier approach.
Thanks, let me know how to get the troubleshooting info to get to root cause.

Upgraded Firefox is hanging. When Firefox opens none of the bookmakrs are available immediately. They hang for a monent. When opening up a window in an application (i.e., email address search) the window hangs.

When opening Firefox, the bookmarks hang for up to 30 seconds before they can be accessed. Also have a hanging issue when opening a window/pop-up within an application (i.e., email search window).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After automatic upgrade

Unless the schedule it's running on is every single time I open Firefox (including closing it & reopening it right away), I don't think that's the case. Also, I don't have any of these issues on the PC I switched back to v3.6 on. That one runs smoothly whether I run Ccleaner, registry optimizers, clear the cache & history or whatever. I thought after you first gave me the answer of deleting the session files that they must've got corrupted during the upgrade, but it seems that v4 just doesn't do a good job of retaining or maintaining those files without getting them corrupt or something.
If this is not an issue with everyone & I'm having it on both my PCs, then v4 has an issue with something that I install on my PCs that, I guess, many others don't although I don't know what that could be and I use everything I install or have running. So, I'm just going back to what works without having to dismantle my config one prog at a time to try to find what v4 may be finicky about.
By the way, I did check & couldn't find any cleaners that run automatically on my PCs.

Windows hangs unexpectedly sometimes when I play streaming media

Sometimes I'll be playing some streaming media - it can be on youtube or on some other streaming media source and the file will "stick" -- that is, I find that I usually can't turn it off or shut down the page. Shortly afterward, the whole thing hangs. The image freezes and the audio turns into a loud wailing sound. Sometimes, if I wait, it may clear, or the system crashes to the blue screen of death. More often, I simply have to do a forced shut down and restart.
HP tech support and Verizon tech support can't figure out what the problem is. I've up-dated drivers, Ditto Firefox, I.E., emptied caches, etc.

Hello vpv. I understand you're having some issues with Windows Media Player.
You'll need to begin by reinstalling your sound drives. I'll need your product number to locate the appropriate software. This document can show you how to locate that.
Also are you using Windows 7 or Windows 8?
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

FTP from Solaris 10 to Windows Hangs on some PDF files

Documents containing images and Eastern European characters have been PDF'd on Windows machines (XP) using various versions of Adobe Acrobat (5 and 8 certainly), and are uploaded to Web Serving apps running on Solaris 10 systems. Retrieval of the PDF of certain of these documents stalls and never completes. Using standard FTP services, the same condition occurs. FTPing the file from Windows to Solaris has no problem. The return journey fails. The original Word documents that were used to create the PDFs transfer without errors. It appears that somethin inside the PDF is causing a problem with the Solaris FTP server. Is this a known problem? Is there a known workaround?

The FTP from the Solaris system to a Windows system fails - just a simple file transfer. It first manifested itself when trying to retrieve from within a Browser, even when directing the Browser to save the file - both IE6 and Firefox 3.0. Investigation showed the same behavior using Windows FTP and FileZilla from XP systems. The problem appears to be at the Solaris FTP server which just hangs at a certain point through the transfer. Filezilla times out and tries the transfer again. After two failures it abandons the transfer. Browser file transfers just stall. We suspect this is caused by some sequence within the file that affects the server.

X-fi XtremeMusic - Full Installation Option - Windows hangs for two minutes on shutdo

I chose the full installation option for the x-fi xtrememusic soundcard, it installs fine, however after I restart my computer or shutdown, it hangs at "saving your settings" for about two minutes. I checked the "event viewer" in Windows XP Home SP2 and it has a entry stating:
Windows saved user SONY\"My User" registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
However, I then tried the minimum install, and it doesn't hang on shutdown/restart.

If I don't manage to fix this, I will reinstall windows xp but I hope I don't have to go to all that trouble.

X201 - upgrading to 8GB of ram - Starting windows hangs

I just bought a used X201 (non tablet). It came with 4GB of RAM (2x2GB). I loaded windows 7 pro 64bit on a new Solid state drive and the little laptop worked great. I work for a company that recently purchased dozens of new X230's and T430 laptops. When they purchased these new machines, they upgraded all the memory to 16GB...which means the vendor removed the original 2x4GB modules to put in 2x8GB. So, I have a drawer FULL of brand new 4GB memory modules (dozens of them). I figured I would try and upgrade this X201 I just bought to 8GB of ram since I had so many 4GB stick laying around not being used. When I put in two of the 4GB sticks, the laptop hangs at "Starting Windows", but it passes all BIOS tests just fine and does appear to at least start windows. With only ONE 4GB stick, the computer boots just fine. With one 4GB and one 2GB (total of 6GB) the computer boots just fine. I've tried a bunch of different 4GB sticks to make sure one wasn't bad, but these are all brand new and there is no way I have that many bad sticks (plus, they all work fine when they are by themselves). Everything i've read says that these X201's will take a max of 8GB, but I just can't get this laptop to work with two 4GB sticks. One difference is, the new 4GB sticks are PC3-12800 modules, where as the original 2GB that came with this X201 are PC3-10600. However, when used in tandem, they work fine (one 4GB and one 2GB). I should have put in the 8GB of ram before I loaded Windows, but I've done a lot of install work and hate to reload windows at this point...and I am not sure that would even work. Has this happened to anyone else?

I would be also interested in the cause since I've also seen this behaviour. I tried the 2x 4GB Crucial shown below in my X201, two X301 and the T520 and didn't work either:
DDR-10600 worked with no problems in all aforementioned machines.

Programme works on Windows hangs on Sun Solaris(8) 5.8

The programme works fine on Windows but hangs on Solaris 8(5.8).
The programme hangs after processing of files is done .
Yes my programme has Synchronization and threading.
The code waits on a method.
engine.GetName().equalsIgnoreCase(name)
the GetName is Synchronized method , if i remove that synchronization it waits on the next synchronizatoin.
It seems like the locks on the Synch code are not getting released.
The same programee does not hang on some solaris machines but takes almost 8--9 minutes to exit from that piece of code and safe shutdown of the process on similar configuration machine.
1)My Question is it a patch issue ,If yes what are the patches I should have for sun solaris8(5.8)
2)Anything to do with the Environ??
3)The compilation etc??
Let me know your answers I can definitely provide more Clues.
Ani

The programme works fine on Windows but hangs on
Solaris 8(5.8)....And this leads you to believe it must be the OS fault and not your code's fault?
Maybe you have a race/deadlock condition that just so happens to manifest itself when you run it on Solaris because of different processor timing. I'm suggesting maybe it could also hang on Windows, given the right timing condition.

Get Info window hangs Finder

Hi,
when opening the Info window on one particular file, the Finder hangs:
• The Info window is opened normally,
• After one or two seconds the Info window starts flickering, as if being redrawn (with changing contents) very rapidly,
• At this point, the Finder gets unresponsive and must be restarted.
This - so far - only happens with one file; this file is an OmniOutliner document with an .oo3 extension.
Any ideas?
TIA, Klaus

Hi macjack,
thanks again. Here are the results to what you suggested: Opened the file in question, saved it in a different format (OPML); OPML file displays Info window fine. Then opened the OPML file, saved it in the original format to a different location - Finder hangs again.
Re Backup: I restored yesterday's version from Time Machine. (I only created the file yesterday.) The file was restored as a folder (without the .oo3 extension) containing one file! The file seems to be in the form of a package which contains one XML file. Adding the oo3 extension seems to restore the original file - and then the Finder hangs again.
In the meantime, I wrote an email to Omni support about this.
Regards, Klaus

Safari 4 for Windows hangs as soon as I type anything in a web page

I've got the latest release of Safari 4 for Windows installed on my Windows XP laptop. Unfortunately it's unusable due to a problem where the browser hangs/locks up as soon as I start to enter any data on a web form, e.g. www.google.co.uk, I can type the first letter of my search term, but then the browser hangs and will not accept any further input and I have to kill it.
Anyone else encountering anything similar? Until I've got a resolution for this I basically can't use Safari on Windows.

I'm experiencing not entirely dissimilar... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039420&tstart=0

FRUSTRATED!!: PSE 11 Windows hangs on loading Organizer

Yesterday I upgraded to PSE 11 on my (plenty powerful) Win 7 system.
Loaded organizer the 1st time and it completed the upgrade, did whatever it needed to do to update the catalog, and then recommended that I backup my catalog.
I agreed to back up the catalog and it got 1/2 way through backing up everything (to a 2nd local hard drive) when the backup threw and error and then hung.
I had to use Task Manager to close the application.
Now neither PSE 11 OR PSE 10 will open. They both hang while trying to load the Organizer. Thanks, Adobe. I am truly amazed at how sucky >1Gb of software can be.
This is MASSIVELY frustrating... instead of upgrading my photo library I have entirely lost access to it.
And, of course, Adobe provides no actual Tech Support.
So... anyone have a suggestion?
I'm guessing the catalog may have gotten corrupted - but I don't know whether that can be fixed non-destructively.
(Oh, and, yes, I tried the direct launch icon... it hangs both ways so it is definitely the Organizer application that is hanging).

Hold down your Shift key while launching the Organizer. This would open up the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog at the bottom of the window, and choose "Repair" and then "Optimize".
If that doesn't solve it, from the Catalog Manager, try creating a new catalog.
If Organizer still fails to launch, try following steps -
1.Delete the Organizer preferences. (Organizer preferences are located at %appdata%/Adobe/Elements Organizer/11.0/Organizer). Delete the "status.dat" and "psa.prf" file from this folder.
Navigate to folder on your machine where application is installed. Right click "PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" and run it as Administrator.
Hope this would resolve your issue.
