How much RAM are you running?

Or grab a newer version like 2.0.2 from August 2010 (the one mentioned above is old news from April 2008) 😉

Actually, what I meant to ask was about the stop button, you know, for when you need to kill a page loading mid-way.
Second thing—I can't find any option for print preview anywhere. Not sure if that even exists.

When you hit that third icon, "Reload this page," it turns into a little "X." Click that to stop the page from loading.
Works just fine for me using the F5 (Reload) + Esc (Stop) combo too. 😉

Regarding your other question:
"The most likely feature to make it into the final of Chrome 9 seems to be Print Preview, which has made some progress lately: While it is functional yet, there is now the stage set for a preview within a tab. Google has also added several print options, including pages, copies, layout and color menus within the print tab." (link) 🙂

Check out my toolbar.

Don't you see FOUR (4) icons or buttons right there? What exactly is that clockwise circular arrow supposed to do? 😉

restlessdrifter12 said:Honestly, my only gripe is the lack of a visible refresh button. I've relied on it for years. I really hate having to manually hammer Ctrl+5 every single time.

Just look at the "button" sitting right between Back / Forward and the home page evo (it's under the Google tab, third one from the left). 😉

A little off-topic here: do you remember Netscape? 🙄
People are still preserving archived versions of that once-legendary web browser from the mid-90s. Honestly, if you were around back then, you know exactly how much nostalgia that brings...🧐

I've been a Firefox user for a while, but I'm thinking about making the jump to Chrome. It feels noticeably faster.
The main issue is the Add-ons. How is the support for Add-ons in Chrome?
I could probably live without most of them, but I'm pretty used to Adblock Plus. Does Chrome support something similar? Or do you guys use some other separate app for blocking ads?
What's your experience been like?
Thanks!

The OP could have just asked this here 🙄

At my job, Firefox was my default until the 4.0 Beta versions rolled out. I'm just not feeling the new interface. 🤷

As for Add-on support in Chrome? Seems perfectly fine to me. It might not hit the same level as FF, but it covers everything an average surfer needs, IMHO.
Adblock - Google Chrome extension gallery: basically the only one I actually need (for now) 👍

Then just link that file extension to a specific app, like VLC 🙂

ironharbor11 said:1. How do I switch the language over to English?

Click the wrench icon, go to Options, then Under The Hood, hit Change font and language settings, click Languages, then select English (United Kingdom or United States) from the Google Chrome language dropdown.

boldwalker12 said:Heh, I uninstalled it. I tried installing that 7-zip thing, but even now—like when I'm downloading a movie—it won't save in that format. It just saves as this completely unknown type and keeps throwing "invalid file" errors at me. I tried manually picking the program to open it with, but it's the same mess. Before I had WinZip set up, my movies would just automatically save through BitTorrent; there was always that little green icon next to them. Now everything is just a total wreck🙄

What do you mean, "unknown"? 🤷

boldwalker12 said:I'm having issues with WinZip. The license expired—the tech guy who set up my PC just installed the trial version.
Basically, it still opens most files, but whenever I download a movie, I get this error: this archive is either in unknown format or damaged. Honestly, it’s more of a headache than anything else. Should I just wipe it off my system entirely?

Just uninstall WinZip.🙂
I've been using 7-Zip for ages now. It works perfectly fine. 👍

Jeffrey Price2 said:I'm hitting a wall here.
I installed Windows 7 and everything was smooth sailing for about ten days. Then today, everything just went sideways. When I boot up, it hangs on the welcome screen and won't budge for at least 10 minutes (I didn't stay longer than that). It boots fine if I use Safe Mode. I tried a system recovery, but no luck. After a few hard resets, it actually manages to load, but then it just reboots itself after five minutes and the whole cycle repeats. It isn't a virus, and the system isn't throwing any error messages or anything.
If anyone's dealt with this or knows a fix, please help!!!

Advanced startup options (including safe mode)

Try using the "Safa moda with Command Prompt" option. If Safe Mode freezes the system, take note of the last file that loaded right before the hang occurs.

cosmicjackal39 said:I need some help here. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, but right after I activated it and rebooted, everything went south. Now, whenever I power on the PC, it just sits there staring at me with verification DMI POOL DATA... and nothing else happens. It worked fine before I tried the activation, but now it's dead. I had to reinstall the whole OS, and now I'm too afraid to even try activating it again.😠

Check this out: Windows 7 install stuck on "Verifying DMI pool data" screen

By the way, how did you activate the OS? Like this?

James Morris4 said:Windows update isn't showing me anything, so I have no idea what I'm supposed to download.
I see another option here, and it’s called reinstalling Windows. So, please just answer the questions from my original post, instead of telling me to try installing drivers—because trust me, I've already tried "everything.".

If you had actually read the details on the "this" page, you would have seen this:

"ITEMS THAT WILL BE RESET TO DEFAULT OR AFFECTED:
Device Drivers - Be sure to have these handy to reinstall. They do not always remain after the repair (upgrade) install."

So, if your camera or printer drivers aren't working right now, do you honestly think they're suddenly going to start working after you do that? 🤷

Windows failed to recognize or install those generic drivers for the device, and even the manufacturer's own software isn't doing the trick... have you tried pulling anything from Windows Update? Honestly, I don't see any other way to get those cameras or the printer functioning properly. 🤷

James Morris4 said:Got four cameras here. Two Canyons, one Labtec, and one Sweex, if I recall correctly. None of them are working on this machine, even though they work perfectly fine on my other computer.

James Morris4 said:I mean camera and printer drivers, specifically.

Which models are we talking about?

James Morris4 said:I'm having trouble installing drivers for devices that prompt me to plug them into a USB port during the installation process. I'm guessing it's because the Windows USB drivers aren't all native.

"To install any USB device, just plug it in to your computer." (link)

And slightly lower: Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly

BTW, which specific drivers are acting up? 🤔

James Morris4 said:Every once in a while, I know I need to reinstall the OS because, let's say, it "degrades" over time. I use TuneUp Utilities to regularly clean out the registry and the OS and whatnot, but nothing beats a clean install. 😁

In over a year of using Win7, I haven't felt any system "degradation" that would force me to do a reinstall. 🤷
