How to Fix a Plug

1. Refresh the page that is having a plug-in error. Frequently the plug-in simply did not load fully or properly and refreshing the page can reload it and fix the problem. You can do this by pressing the 'F5' key in most browsers. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
2. Close your browser and press 'Control' plus 'Alt' plus 'Delete' on your computer. Click on the 'Processes' tab and look to make sure your browser process is not in the list (it will be listed as an .exe file associated with your browser). If it is still present in the list, select it and end the process. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
3. Update your plug-in. This can most easily be done by downloading and installing the most recent version of the plug-in that crashed from the developer's web page. It is recommended to fully uninstall the old plug-in first. Install and uninstall options can usually be found under 'Tools' in the top menu and under 'Add-ons' or 'Manage Add-ons' in most browsers. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
4. Ensure that plug-ins and ActiveX controls are enabled. These are frequently found under 'Tools' and 'Options' or 'Internet Options' in the top menu bar on most browsers. Enable both of these if they are disabled at all. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
5. Update your browser. This can generally be done by clicking on 'Help' and 'Check for Updates' in the top menu. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
6. Reboot your computer. This is the last step to fixing the problem if the previous steps did not fix it. If the plug-in error continues contact your local computer technician as you may have something else causing the problem not directly related to the problem itself.

How to Fix Computer Errors

1. If you are getting excessive pop ups, clean your PC with an anti spyware program. Although people confuse spyware with viruses often, these are generally much less harmful, but have the ability to invade your privacy, and often steal personal data gathered from your computer. Several great applications to deal with this include Spybot, Adaware, and Glarys Utilities, all of which can quickly fix or diagnose computer error messages.
2. To better fix computer problems, if you notice odd behavior in your Operating System or suddenly cannot access certain data, ensure your anti virus program is updated. Scan your entire system immediately while all applications are shut down. If possible, disable your entire internet connection while your anti virus program cleans any potential threat on your computer.
3. If you notice that certain hardware is not doing its job, such as a malfunctioning printer, mouse, web cam or other, you may be in need of their respective device drivers. Make note of the last time they worked successfully, if ever. Go to the hardware manufacturer's website and look for the "Support" section, where the program installation files are generally found. Install these devices one at a time and follow any on-screen instructions (some may require that you have the hardware unplugged, others connected) and restart your computer if asked to do so.
4. If there is any program or hardware that worked in the past but suddenly stops working, there may be a file conflict in your system. In other words, chances are you installed another program or hardware that shares or otherwise conflicts with your malfunctioning program or device. In this case, think backwards and take note of the last change you made to your computer. Remove anything recently installed in order to find a solution to the problem. You may need to contact your program/hardware manufacturer for a possible workaround, such as the installation of newer files to fix computer errors at hand.
5. Finally, if your computer freezes on startup and cannot boot into your Operating System, this could be caused by yet another hardware/software conflict, missing system files, or other. Run the repair function by inserting your Operating System's disc and have it reinstall all system files. Otherwise, backup all your data and reinstall your system again for maximum stability.
