Compaq Presario CQ60-420US
a very old PC. 7 years is not too bad, on the edge there.

what OS? windows what?
doing what what are you doing.
my guess is this is BROWSER question,
is this IE , 4,5,6,7,9,10,11
only IE 11 (if is MS class) works now, so .... what is yours that?
web sites now block older IE versions a fact.
I use firefox v56, so should you.
back to internet explorer why>
you have browser take over, infections (google bar is one)
its infected, for sure.
get Firefox v56 and run that, or newer.
there are 20 top browers and IE is not in the lest.
IE is dead now at MS. 100% dead. Edge is NOW .

if running XP or Vista and using IE you will get nothing but pain
from now on.

this PC came new with (options day 1)
vista 32
vista 64
W7 32
w7 64
if vista you are doomed.
if W7 ,get IE11 from ms and use that
in fact IE11 is required to do MS updates, or they fail
are you running AV ? antimalware? even defender?

did you upgrade to w10 mid 2015 to 2016?

never post software questions, lacking OS name.
and what browser you use.
or answers will be wrong. I promise.

SOURCE: internet explorer stops working

Microsoft has suggested people uninstall SP1 for Vista for the time being until they resolve some problems.

You should find this as an uninstallable program in Control Panel Add Remove, scroll down until you see the entry.

If you don't contact me with the comment box below and we'll try the alternative method.

Thanks for responding to my questions. You can't imagine how many people just don't and give up before we've had a chance to work with you to solve and fix your problem.

Regards,
Worldvet

I inadvertently used a search engine ASK to download some irs files. Now can't get rid of it. It has taken over firefox.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings


What does the refresh feature do? All of your Firefox settings and personal information are stored in a profile folder. The refresh feature works by creating a new profile folder for you while saving your important data.
Add-ons which are normally stored inside the Firefox profile folder, such as extensions and themes, will be removed. Add-ons stored in other locations, such as plugins, will not be removed but any modified preferences (such as plugins you have disabled) will be reset.
Firefox will save these items:
  • Bookmarks
  • Browsing history
  • Passwords
  • Open windows, tabs and tab groups
  • Cookies
  • Web form auto-fill information
  • Personal dictionary
These items and settings will be removed: Note: Your old Firefox profile will be placed on your desktop in a folder named "Old Firefox Data". If the refresh didn't fix your problem you can restore some of the information not saved by copying files to the new profile that was created. If you don't need this folder any longer, you should delete it as it contains sensitive information.

Is there a way to get rid of "kill pages-wait?"

Hi Marcy ,
This "kill page or wait for sometime" is an notification feature of all browsers common mainly Google Chrome. it prompts when --
  • Slow internet connection and you have opened many tabs simultaneously then your browser will stop working and give an error message like "kill page or wait for sometime".
  • Our CPU and RAM usage increases and our browser is stopped for some time and it gives the same message
You can prevent this .[ There is no option to disable this message so we can do things to let this happens again ok ]

  1. Try running chrome in "safe mode" if you have a lot of silent programs running in the background. [Enable safe mode by CTRL+SHIFT+N for chrome]
  2. clear the cache and cookies in your browser
this will help you to minimize no. of occurrence for this annoying message

if still any issue feel free to contact me thanks

Profile will not open corectly

HI,
I'm not sure if you tried this step, but it worked for me, try creating a new user account and problem should go away. If you are using a computer that is connected to the home or office network you would have to get the profile rest done on the server computer.

Thanks for using Fixya

How do you write a private message in facebook? Is it wall to wall?

Hi There, Wall to wall messaging is not private since this will be seen on your profile as well on the profile of your message recipient. For private messaging on Facebook, you may use the built in e-mail feature. It is found on the upper left corner. It is located after the Facebook logo (Home Profile Friends Inbox). On the Inbox tab, choose "COMPOSE" to write a new e-mail.

Drivers popping up then diasppearing. Very irritating. Plz help!

If you go to "My computer" and right-click on the CD, you will get another menu. Then choose "Properties"
You should see a tab that says "Auto Play" Using that tab you can select the action that occurs when you put a CD in the machine.

If this doesn't work, let me know and we'll try something else.

Annoying beeping with every letter on a text message

You should be able to turn the keypad tones off:

Go to:

Menu;

Settings;

Phone Settings;

Phone Profiles;

'Normal' [providing your phone profile is set to 'normal'];

Now, scroll two places to the right until you are in the 'Phone sounds' tab. Select 'Keypad Tone' and turn it 'off'.

Hope that solves it!

:-)
