The last time I asked these questions, everybody ignored them . I asked these questions so people could answer them, not ignore them . Sometimes when I'm using my computer, it'll freeze, and I'll get a caption that says "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue ." . This caption features buttons that say "Continue", "Debug Script", and "Stop Script" . What does this mean ? What do I do when this happens ? By the same token, sometimes my computer will freeze, and I'll get a caption that says "Not Responding" . Can I get a repairman to come in and change things around somehow to where these things never happen again until the end of time ? Thank you in advance for your answers .

You need to provide some necessary details that are missing. We need to know what your operating system is, whether it's a stolen pirate copy or not, and if it's a legal copy have you installed all of your Windows patches (via Windows Updates).



The errors you describe are typical of one of the older versions of Windows, but they are also typical of a pirate copy of Windows, which is why further details are necessary if you want some serious troubleshooting answers.



All this said, if you have an old outdated OS, these type errors would be typical trying to run on the internet because the browser version is so outdated. Also, if it's a pirate version of Windows, the errors are also typical of that.



So you can see right here where the answer is headed:

(1) if it's an outdated version of Windows, you need to get a modern day version

(2) if it's a stolen copy of Windows, you need to get a legal copy

(3) if it's a legal copy of Windows, but not an old version, you need to install your updates to fix the software bugs causing this

More than likely its an ad on or extension install for your browser disable them in your browser settings one at a time to figure which one it is I would start with the antivirus ad ons ones then bluetooth flash player and silver lite check your cpu usage and defrag your ram

Did you put this in "Programming & Design" the last time, too? Try "Software" instead. That's for users more than developers.



Meanwhile, as others have said, this means that the website is either broken, or has an issue with your browser. Close your browser (all windows) and reload. If the problem persists, clear your cache ("history") and try again.



Sometimes this can be caused by settings, such as turning off cookies or blocking pop-ups, or by add-ins like an ad blocker. If you want some shred of privacy, you'll have to get used to the idea that some websites just won't work for you.



Also, while there are quite a few very good web developers, web design and front-end development is one of the programming areas that tends to be easier on beginners. Unfortunately, that also makes it easier to someone to get just good enough to be dangerous. So, you will run into broken websites from time to time. (Especially in the yahoo.com domains.)

This happens a lot on my laptop when I'm trying to open up another window on google the computer can't handle it because I'm clicking stuff too fast so it stops working.



I end up having to just close the window or wait for it to respond.

The one about "script may be busy" usually means EITHER you have an old version of a web browser that needs updating, or you have an old version of Java. However, I've also seen that when you have a very old Windows system and a much newer browser. Essentially, Windows is "chugging along" as fast as it can to render something that is a bit advanced (well, anyway newer) than it really can handle. The best option is "Continue" under most circumstances. The other options require you to be a programmer.



The "Not Responding" message can be any one of a number of things but invariably is the result of a program encountering (and badly handling) an unexpected condition.



As to "can you get someone to come fix this?" my answer is that if anyone tells you they CAN fix it and guarantee that it will never happen again, DON'T let that person near your computer. I'm a 40-year computer professional and this sort of thing happens on my machines now and then, despite my best efforts.



These things happen because this is an imperfect world and people are imperfect. Imagine, if you will, that some software developer wanted to make his programs foolproof. So the boss says, "Let's hire some fool to do our testing." To which the next question is, "But what fool would apply for such a job?" Followed by "And what fool would hire such a person?"



That was tongue-in-cheek but in another sense very real. Compex programs may have literally hundreds of thousands of possible outcomes, results, etc. How do you test them all? So when something goes wrong, what you have to do is try to recall what triggered that event and see if you perhaps did something wrong. Then don't do that again.

First thing you should do is look and see how much memory you have (RAM).

You need a minimum of 4GB for Windows.

Second you need to look at all your START UP Programs and Disable them so they don't start when the computer starts up. You can still use these programs but they do not need to start up and power up. Except for your Anti Virus program. In Windows 10 you can disable the Start up programs by Opening the TASK MANAGER (right click on the task bar) and go to the START UP TAB and Disable all that is there.

If you find something not working go back and enable it.

No. You can't get it fixed. Computers are not perfect. I usually just close out of it, and start over again.

this warning will appear because of the javascript running behind while your web page being requested, now a days every website is moving to angularjs which is develops the website using the java script which makes so many request to the server to keep the webpage components independent and interactive to the user. so the reason behind this issue will be many but most known/few will be, 1. slow response from the server 2. slow/disconnected internet connection, 3. something wrong in the website script itsself(very rear case).

When I get the message about a script running I usually tell it to kill the script. I believe this means that one of the websites I have open is running some background script that got hung or in a loop. Try to notice which websites are open when this happens, especially if they are actively updating. Then avoid those sites, since they are poorly written. Actually I suspect that most of these are related to the ads that get inserted in sites, so killing the, probable ad scripts, shouldn't be OK.



The "Not Responding" message means that the application has blocked, waiting for something, like a response from a website, or some local device, but most likely a remote website. Sometimes they just hang like that and killing the application and restarting gets things going again.



You Can Not get someone to fix this for you for all time. Unless maybe you disconnect your system from the internet and only run local applications.

Yahoo Answers is just a forum where the general public can answer questions. None of us are specialists and none of us are paid to try and answer. What's the point in answering if we don't know the answer to your problem, so take it to a computer repair shop where they are specialists and are paid (by you) to sort out your computer problems.
