Things like this I can't figure out...
I am a self taught computer user so please keep it simple! Thanks!
i also sometimes get the shockwave crashed thing, usually for me it due to having too many tabs open at once or just high memory or cpu usage.My problems are, sometimes I get this web page is not available/cannot display
Or shockwave has crashed, reload?
Or when I go to shut down, it says he's dead Jim.
Also I can no longer make online bank deposits, nor can I print a label through paypal. I have to save the label in my pics then print it from there.
I think there are either some incompatible things, or 2 things are running at the same time.
But these are too technical for me to figure out myself. Just not savvy enough I guess.
I didn't see these until going to chrome though.
why do you delete prefetch? There really no need toMake sure all cookies, temp files, Prefetch files, everything you can think of, are deleted from your computer. Yes, I even delete Prefetch files on occasion. It means that sometimes I have to put my passwords back in for things like FB and such, but I do it anyway. I see that you have erased your cookies and such.
Then I would delete Chrome completely from your computer and then try a fresh download and install.
okI have always done this in all of my computers. Not often, but if there's an issue going on, yes, I delete my Prefetch files. I understand that, until the files are rebuilt, the computer will run slower. But I was told years ago that when there's a problem, Prefetch files could be deleted. And I have not deviated from that.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/what-is-the-prefetch-folder"Each time you turn on your computer, Windows keeps track of the way your computer starts and which programs you commonly open. Windows saves this information as a number of small files in the prefetch folder. The next time you turn on your computer, Windows refers to these files to help speed the start process.
The prefetch folder is a subfolder of the Windows system folder. The prefetch folder is self-maintaining, and there's no need to delete it or empty its contents. If you empty the folder, Windows and your programs will take longer to open the next time you turn on your computer."
