HELP DU keeps crashing & won't let me open articles

[barbiegeek]

I'll be amazed if this posts. I can't open any posting, it's all in Blue text and the video section is blank. Is anyone having this problem? How do I fix it.

4. Methinks you got a virus.

I had that happen to me some years back. It was a nasty worm and I had to have a techie fix it.

5. What browser? What operating system?

When did you last reboot?

6. First, close every browser window and application, one by one...

...and then shut down your computer and restart.

Pretty generic "help", but these steps cure more than 50% of computing problems, in my experience.

7. If you have updated firefox lately.. it has issues with java

I had to download the beta version and things cleared right up.

11. my firefox automatically updated

I'm really computer illiterate I don't know how to fix this (hubby does it all).

If you read this I may not be able to see any of you until next week.

12. crap. I was afraid of that. Those tubes are tiny.

and do you know how many tubes the internets have??

9. Clear all your cookies and browser cache before restarting

Go to My Computer > C: > Windows > Prefetch and empty all the files and clear the ZRecycle bin.

Go to Internet Explorer Security and set it so it has no capabilities whatsoever, nothing in the way of an optional capability.

Never use Internet Explorer again.

RESTART

Use Firefox as your browser.
