sbk Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I suspect its java related but have no idea how to resolve it. When I click on a button that submits a reasonable amount of data (ie; posting here, something that submits changes) chrome freezes, little spinning thing comes up, cannot switch tabs, cannot do anything until its submitted the data and its been accepted. It doesn't do this with firefox, but firefox itself was slow and slowed up my machine up I thought I'd switch to Chrome, but this freezing issue is making it so difficult I may just go back to FF. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Have spinner but no lock and can change tabs when bottom left indicates sending data/contacting/waiting and such. If suspect Java perhaps download and install would fix. I have not had the problem and been using Chrome for about a year now. Current version is 14.0.835.186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I have that issue also. As it turns out it is actually an Adobe issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainai144 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I have that issue also. As it turns out it is actually an Adobe issue. Adobe flash? hmm, is there a workaround? go to filehippo.com and download chrome ver 13.0.772.0 i have updated a few times and end up going back to this version as it works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocko Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 If you want to speed up firefox go to www. majorgeeks and download speedyfox this works a treat it is a good site for advice etc. Reinstaling chrome from filehippo as has been suggested is also good advice Make sure you have restore point before you download anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Installing outdated browsers is never good advise in my opinion. As of September 20 the Beta and Stable channels have been updated to 14.0.835.186 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Gone back to ff as the chrome issue made many tasks very time consuming. too bad, chrome hope you get it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm having all kinds of problems with Chrome now. Freezing, flash problems, etc. I love Chrome, but am about to change to something else as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I put Adobe update in the search engine and chose to update all Adobe applications. It was a little convoluted because after the first update download it told me I had to update another application before that one could be installed. I tried to follow their somewhat confusing instructions and apparently eventually did it right because I have had no crashes or freeze up problems since. I am using Chrome 14.0.835.186 m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I am also using latest Chrome with all W7 updates but have no issues. Also using Secunia PSI 2.0 auto-update and Adobe version is 10.3.183.10 and Java is 6.0.24. I do not use Adobe PDF reader but Foxit Reader 5.0.2.0718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 How's your RAM, op? Chrome seems to be a bit of a resource hog at times, which ain't much fun on a light machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Sure enough - after saying no problem I try other sites and find I do have a problem which is likely the same - loading wheel just spinning when trying to download transactions on USAA banking site. Fired up IE and no problem so seems to be Chrome specific but am sure it was working a week or two ago. Egg on face. Come to think about it I know this function was working on the 23rd of September so problem is very recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome seems to be a bit of a resource hog at times, which ain't much fun on a light machine. 3GB and I didn't used to have this problem with Chrome in the past, although I confess I didn't use it regularly.

justsumhelp Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Its the sites handling that is the problem, Chrome albeit the lesser of all evils, hits a glitch when the site has a problem, right click then inspect element to find what's the problem. And do not download from filehippo, etc.. get all downloads from source, unless you want their superTweakedFast editions from me and me Nigerian uncle.

hml367 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just adding my experience: I have found the best results with my Windows 7 64 bit and Mozilla fired browsers to be their Nightly. Nightly now has flashplayer to work with it and it seemed to work with everything I have tried. However, it is still not as fast as IE9 on my Windows 7 64 bit. I use Logitech trackball interface devices and the wheel, buttons, and trackball all work with every browser I have tried. MSPain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
