Computer Problem Question

By njpilot, in General Discussion

For those that are computer savvy. I bought a new laptop a few months ago with Window 7. I have recently been having regular problems with IE "not responding" and having to restart IE.

 

I believe I found the problem being the latest version of Adobe Flash ver 10.

 

When I uninstall, the problem seems to go away.

 

Short of installing an older version, which I seem to have a problem finding now, can anyone recommend another fix?

 

Thanks.

Stop using the security hole called Internet Explorer.

 

Not only does it gape like goatse.cx, it does weird stuff like just hang until you refresh or whatever. There's Opera, there's Chrome, there's Firefox, there's even Safari. All work better and are more secure than IE.

:lol::dance:

 

He's right though. All of the aforementioned browsers are leagues better than IE

Mark, do you recommend any one over the other?

 

Thx.

Just buy a Mac and never worry about the BS from Microsoft... a bit more money but no problems in several yeas of owning them.

 

My gf's mac has had the HD shit the bed numerous times in her ownership... I'll deal with maintaining virus protection to not have to deal with losing a HD.

Without getting into the whole mac vs pc bit (I own both), I feel obligated to mention that a HD hardware failure is unrelated to a system crash, and reflects only on the manufacture of the HD. That said, pcs and macs often use the same brand of HD. I have a western digital in my mac (upgraded from a seagate) and both a seagate and WD in my PC. All have run for thousands of hours. Of course, they are pieces of hardware with a limited lifespan, and some do indeed expire prematurely.

Firefox is the clear winner.

 

The others have merits too but overall, FF is more polished and complete.

the new opera 10.51 is totally top notch. =P

 

I have opera on every computer, and have so far switched everyone in my family to it.

 

the only issue with it, there are some sites with some java script that do not like it.

google chrome is technically the fastest one out there but i've used opera for years and i still love it the most.

 

 

though i still use IE for some things that i assume wouldn't work in opera though over the years i think everything works now i'm just still paranoid but so for fixing the problem instead of replacing it.. are you using windows 7 64bit? me and my brother went to windows 7 and both went to 64bit and we both had problems with IE basically what you were saying, i would be browsing and it would stop responding so i would open it again to my homepage and it would stop responding immediately and i couldn't do anything until i rebooted. Then my brother found out that for some reason the default is the 32bit IE and there is a 64bit one but you have to make it a different shortcut and then it will run better. in the end 64bit still has its problems sometimes so i still suggest getting opera.

Thanks Wavecaster. I normally don't have to reboot, only once or twice did it totally freeze up, ususally just stops responding.

 

I have the 64 bit, but think I may just change to FF or Opera.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
