Hi all! Please I need some help on what to do to my mozilla firefox which has not been working, even when I'm connected to the internet via zain connection.

Secondly, my antivirus doesnt update. Anytime I try to update it, it will stop and prompt a message that it cant be updated as an error occurred while downloading update files. Please what should I do?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by blackweaver(m): 8:50pm On May 22, 2010
@okponee does your other browser work with your zain network? if so in firefox go to tools -> preferences -> advanced -> network -> settings (under conections) and make sure no proxy (or auto-detect proxy settings) is selected
as for your antivirus, you may want to uninstall and reinstall it - if you have the installer else get another antivirus
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Okponee: 10:33pm On May 22, 2010
Oh! God bless you Blackweaver. I will do just as you say as other browsers are working well

netotse:

hey pple. . .

i came across a funny problem today, it's a HP probook, 4515s, with windows vista installed, cant really remember the other specs. . .sorry about that

the prob is that once i toggle the wireless switch to the off position, it crashes. . .the computer boots with the wireless on(is that normal?) everything works fine until i try to switch it off and then the computer freezes, the owner said if you wait 30mins it'll come back up, but i dont really know, he doesn't know much about computers sef. . .

Dear netotse,

Here's a link to your laptop make www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3935147&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3935146">http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=3935147&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3935146

Identify your operating system type and check if there's any update to solve this issue, most likely it will need a bios
update. make sure you search the website very well for FAQ's

Meanwhile>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Make sure charger is connected

Restart laptop and keep pressing
F10 for Bios > use your arrow key to
highlight diagnostics then hard disk test and
give us the result. Good luck and thanks for enquiring

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Okponee: 9:18am On May 24, 2010
@ Blackweaver. I've tried what you said by uninstalling and re-installing the Eset anti-virus but it still failed to be updated, the system says it can't see server. Even the mozilla firefox still fails to respond when I'm connected to the internet via zain lite. Please what else should I do. Opera often works and internet explorer on few occasion.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Nobody: 10:12am On May 24, 2010
hello my opinion is that when softwares start to misbehave
simply download cleanse uninstaller,
run on your system and totally remove the softwares
then re-install them

allow firefox to copy data from internet explorer or opera
then get avast antivirus version 4.8 from www.download.com

call or mail me for the serial
my email add is keyinfo2004@yahoo.ca

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by blackweaver(m): 1:00am On May 25, 2010
@okponee maybe you should just get google-chrome, it's among the fastest browsers available and i don't think you'll have that problem; as for your antivirus, maybe you should consider changing to another one - if you are sure your zain internet connection is not the problem

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by blackweaver(m): 1:05am On May 25, 2010
@xtianh what do you mean by "free internet configuration?" do you mean a config that will allow you to browse for free or free information on hw to configure the internet connection that you've paid for? if it's the former i can't help you since i always pay for my internet connection (besides why not pay for your connection and get a free antivirus); if it;s the latter then we will need to know your internet service provider and the type of hardware (modem brand?) that you have

@Dfash there are many things that can cause your battery to stop charging.
the first thing to do is to try a known good charger (i've experience the same problem). if it doesnt work then i must say you are experiencing hardware problem, i.e either the battery cells are dead and need to be changed or the charging circuit/port is fulty.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by LULABY: 2:31pm On May 26, 2010
@passion007
you are not precise on the problem. how do you know that the keys are not working while the OS is not even loading?
Anyway, if the computer really comes on then i will advice you to dismantle the system wash the motherboard with methylated spirit and leave it for like a day before coupling it back. and may be you have to format the HD.
