Microsoft Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is one of the most popular browsers on the planet, simply because it is include with every copy of Windows. However, it is therefore one of the most vulnerable browsers out there because every hacker and malware writer wants to exploit it. If you are having any problems with your version of IE, whether it is related to page loading or annoying malware, it is essential to update to the latest version. Using IE 6 is not only hazardous, but also old-fashioned as it has none of the advanced features of the latest Internet Explorer 8. The update is free and by having the latest browser onboard you will be able to enjoy all of the new interactive content that exists online.

Mozilla Firefox

Firefox has become a firm favorite amongst those looking for an alternative to Microsoft`s browser. This too is constantly updated and as an open source project new fixes and improvements are made frequently. Basic troubleshooting usually involves closing down Firefox when you encounter an issue and restating it to see if the problem is ironed out. Persistent problems can be addressed by clearing the cookies and cached memory, which is performed by clicking the Tools menus and then highlighting Clear Recent History.

If you want more advanced control over Firefox for troubleshooting, then starting it in Safe Mode will give you a secure environment in which to work. There should be a shortcut for Safe Mode in the start menu next to the main Firefox shortcut, but you can also enter "Firefox -safe-mode" minus the speech marks into the Run function, which is accessed from the Start menu. This will let you know if a theme or plug-in is causing the problem and it can then be disabled.

Google Chrome

Google`s browser is the most recent addition to the mainstream browser market and though its share is still relatively limited compared to its rivals, it is growing in popularity thanks to the strength of Google`s brand. Because of this immaturity, there are still bugs and crashes to fix. Google recommends creating a new user profile in Chrome if you are experiencing problems with your existing one.

General Browser Troubleshooting Tips

If you are having trouble with certain web pages no matter what browser you are using, it might be worth checking your actual internet connection and firewall. Some routers and integrated protection software will automatically block access to certain sites which are deemed to be dangerous. For the most part this is a great thing, as it will keep your PC free from malware, but sometimes a perfectly harmless site can get blacklisted by accident. If this is the case, you may need to look beyond your browser for a solution and when using mobile broadband, remember that connections can be dropped without warning.

Make Google Chrome Fast Like New Installed Simply By Clearing History is a post from TroubleFixers - All about fixing computer troubles

I tried to update google chrome browser on my office desktop running Windows XP SP2. Due to some mysterious reasons, the update was finished but the google chrome did not load. I restarted the desktop but it was on no use. The desktop shortcut was also not working.

After I checked the target path of the shortcut, I realized that the target files were missing.

After all this mess, I realized that during the upgrade, something went wrong, the files got deleted but not installed back again properly. In this article I will share the solutions to this problem.

Fix:

The problem arises because of abrupt or abnormal termination of the google chrome update because of some reason. To solve this problem, try the below steps:

1. In case the Google Chrome was previously Installed, Uninstall the previous one by going to Control Panel > Add Remove Programs (Programs and Features In Windows Vista). This will ensure that the registry entries for the wrongly installed or bad-installation is removed.

2. Go to the Location

For Windows XP : C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Google\Chrome\

For Windows Vista : C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\

At above location, you will find some Google Chrome files, delete them manually before trying another fresh installation. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

3. Download and Install the Google Chrome From Google Chrome Official Website or you can Download Google Chrome Full Setup [ Offline Installer ] and try a fresh installation.

4. If you are reading this step, it means that the first three steps 3 did not work for you. This is quite possible as google chrome beta versions can be bit unstable sometimes. In this case, i would recommend to download the portable version of Google Chrome and extract this package by double clicking it. Paste the extracted folder into the Program files or C:, create a desktop shortcut of file at location “\Portable_Google_Chrome_2.0.160.0\Chrome\Chrome.exe” and Enjoy google chrome without any Installation. You can copy these files to a pen drive also and run it on any windows computer from the pen drive only.

This portable version also had a chrome_update.exe application, that will update the google chrome to its latest version available. It worked like a charm for me. Hope it will work well for you too.
