Does anyone else get insanely pissed when firefox, or any program does this? [IMG]http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/9168/arrghhh.png[/IMG] This happens with firefox, lots of steam games. And though it is easily dealt with. It just pisses me off. Do you guys ever have problems with programs not closing?
Ctrl + Alt + Delete to get to task manager. Go to the processes tab and kill firefox.exe or steam.exe. Depending on which program throws that error at your face. Sometimes the processes tend to be left hanging even after you close them.
Notice I said it was easily dealt with, but anyways, I just wanted to know if anyone else has this issue. Thanks though.
I had this aswell. The Answer, get Google Chrome.
[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;25104671]I had this aswell. The Answer, get Google Chrome.[/QUOTE] Chrome has the same error dialog, so how's that "The Answer".
I get it too from time to time, sometimes firefucks decides it wants to stay running longer then normal, guess to off load shit or something. I also will not touch that fail of a browser call chrome.
I get this sometimes when steam bugs out.
Control-shift-escape, manually kill process. Yeah, it sucks, but deal with it, basically the only way I've found.
You could always make a batch file that kills the process and put it on a keyboard shortcut. That's what i did back when GTA:SA often used to freeze on me and the only option i had was reset.
Yeah I hate that when you try to restart Firefox or Steam, the fucker stays in the background for 5 minutes unless you kill it with the task manager.
Something probably crashed when you were shutting down, otherwise the process would have terminated. If the process never terminates, it is most definitely a crash, if does eventual terminate then your computer is really slow.
It has happened to me too. Only when FF crashed or something like that though.
Happens sometimes. I eventually switched to Chrome because somehow Firefox would cause my computer to hang for no particular reason. Oddly enough, Firefox works perfect on a Pentium II on Windows 2000 Server.
