Browser?

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

On my old Sony Vaio at times when I open Google Browser it appears black for a few secs before turning White, what could be the reason, any ideas suggestions, page is set at about blank

Has 2 GB of RAM, increased the size of virtual memory from 3057 MB min and max to 4057 MB but still the same.

Video is Intel Media Graphic accelerator....any thing to do with its settings?

Btw it never happened earlier?

Hoping to hear from you experts,

Thanks.

PS: Deleted and recreated page file, emptied Prefetch Data.

You say it is black for a few seconds before it turns white. Do you mean it is black, then displays the about:blank page fine? It then works normally after that? What version of Chrome are you on?

You might try disabling hardware acceleration. It is different after Chrome 32 I believe.

Before Chrome 32

Enable or Disable Hardware Acceleration in Google Chrome - Jkwebtalks


After Chrome 32

I believe it is Settings> Show advanced settings> Scroll down and uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available

Let us know more specifically what the issue is. A Guy

Thanks for replying.

I have version 35 running. Uninstalled G Chrome in safe mode and reinstalled it. Am not getting any black screens or frozen ones, that happened even after running CHDSK.

I found these services in settings by default are enabled should they remain that way or should uncheck em?

Hi,
Well A.Guy said to test with the one setting disabled,
I would recommend Unchecking the other,
Background apps are unnecessary to run while Chrome is closed and can and will effect other browser when they're open

Nice of Google to put these setting on the bottom of the list isn't it

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks for replying, Is it fine now?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Not sure if that's a new question or not ?
I personally would at the very least uncheck running background apps

Another thing I would do is review the extensions list and post a screen shot of it you have installed in chrome and internet explorer,
In Internet explorer make sure Show All add-ons is selected on the bottom left column,

Cheers.

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks for sharing your expert thoughts.

G Chrome is set as default browser and have the addons shown in the screen shot.

Dont ever use IE9 but how do I add the same to it?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Add the same browser add-ons to ie9 ?
You would need to go to the perspective add-ons developers site and download the ie version,

I personally would update to ie10 if you use it or not

The existing add-ons don't show any red flags add blocker is always a bit of an unknown as to what it flags as a popup or not but is quite popular these days it seems,

You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
Manually Update them before running full scans,
Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
Uncheck the box to Active Free trial from the final install options,

Post any scan results,

Apologize using IE11 not 9 Senile Dementia.

 

[ThrashZone]

LOL it's all good
I was starting to wonder how many other windows updates you were not loading
Run the scanners and report back when completed,
Cheers.

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks again I shall.

It happens constantly if I maximize/ full screen view, G chrome > GMail opened page, see a black area for a couple of secs on the rt half of the page. When I revert back to half screen view and do it again see that black area which turns white.

Only happens on GMail tab, not on other tabs with websites open like W7 forums etc....any clues?

Thanks.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

It doesn't happen with IE11, only with G Chrome........any ideas why?

Thanks.

 

[A Guy]

So the problem is not gone? It worked OK for a while after reinstalling? Have you tried running Chrome with no extensions to see if it still occurs then? Try opening a New Incognito window and see if the problem still exists.

Thanks for replying.

The problem is mainly with the GMail page and occasionally with sites that have a white rt border vs colored.

How can one make G Chrome to always run incognito mode?

 

[Alexey2912]

I think the graphic card isn't powerful enough to hold heavy sites?

 

[A Guy]

Does the problem go away in incognito mode?

I doubt you'd want to always use incognito mode, it disables all extensions and doesn't save data, etc. You're GPU should be fine. A Guy

 

[Alexey2912]

Does the problem go away in incognito mode?.............. Yes it does.

Do I need to change/modify the default parameters of colors of Intel media graphics?

Thanks again.

 

[A Guy]

If the problem goes away in incognito mode. Suggest disabling all extensions and see if it still works. If so, re-enable them one at a time until you find the trouble maker.

I don't think anything but chrome is involved here. A Guy

Fine shall do it and keep you posted.

Thanks again.
