Computer help

[Michelle1]

I have windows 7 and I also use firefox....I haven't had any problems....that sounds weird. I hope you figure it out...I hate it when computers don't work properly!!!

So do i im normally pretty good at fixing problems but not this time GRRR

Try running firefox in safe mode.

Press the Windows Key on Keyboard + R, then type in

firefox -safe-mode

If everything works, then you have a faulty add-on in Firefox. If not, post back here again please


P.S. wrong thread to post in

nvm the safemode is easier for all you need to do.

Since you are on Windows 7 just Click Start, type in "Firefox" and you should see choices.
Select "Firefox (Safe Mode)"

Well this is the kind of thing that I would love to help with but I haven't even looked at a computer with Windows 7 yet otherwise I would suggest that I connect to you with Remote Assistance and see what I can figure out. We could connect using Teamviewer but haven't looked at a Windows 7 PC yet.
I have 3 browsers and no problems with either but don't have that toolbar. I have others that work fine in either Opera, IE or Firefox though. I have XP.

I just did that and still the same problem...Im normally excellent at figuring out computer issues but not this time..makes me feel stupid

Don't feel that way. There are no stupid people... just stupid #@%$%($ computers!

i have Google chrome....couldnt figure it out for the SB toolbar and IE i dont like it

My wife uses SB with Chrome... she can't install the toolbar, but has it set that it will search through SB when she does a search in the address bar. Works pretty much the same. If you go to SB's toolbar download page and scroll down you'll see the instructions.

Obviously that's not the best solution but it may save your sanity until you figure it out...

I did try to follow the directions but i cant seem to get it....I will have to try again..Did your wife install it that way too?? In the tool bar does it actually say Sb or something else??

As far as my sanity i already lost it LOL

Ill try Chrome again but tomorrow(Sunday) ill reinstall Windows 7 needs to be done anyways!!

I downloaded the SB toolbar it only works for the IE browser I have but not the firefox browser I use the most. Besides the toolbar only helps if there is codes out on it...I don't find it that useful besides that.

Maybe trying out all these browsers its not exactly the browsers it may be the actual system itself. Like its internal memory or that there is possibly a virus on your system.

There's no virus on my computer...If there was I wouldn't be emailing people...and plus my dad is my computer technician!!!

The tool bar works in IE as well so no its not my system or my browser...Its the site something is stopping it Script or something!!!

I got some advise for you, how about just not installing the toolbar? that would solve all of this? I don't have it and someone is always around to help with a code.

How is this a freebie or a sample anyway?
