Best way to switch on Internet Explorer Compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge

Mikki Tiamo — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 10:13:48 +0000

This is the best way to switch on Internet Explorer compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge or at the very least the most functional way to use compatibility mode.

As some of us morn the passing of IE11, especially those of us who work in the CCTV field, where lots of DVR’s and NVR’s require plugins to display live video and playback video.

Thankfully, Microsoft has now put in place a way of circumventing this by using Microsoft Edge and letting you put the browser into compatibility mode.

Set up Compatibility Mode in Microsoft Edge

To do this they need to set up compatibility mode. To do this do the following:

Go to settings and more which are the three little dots in the top corner of the browser, thus.

2. Once in settings, type “compatibility” into the search box as shown below and then select allow from the drop down box indicated

3. Restart Microsoft Edge and then go back into settings

4. Click on the Appearance option in the left menu and then scroll down to select which buttons to show on the toolbar:

This will add a new button to the toolbar shown thus:

If you wish to use compatibility mode for any of your websites now, all you need do is click the Compatibility Mode button and Microsoft Edge will run this website in Compatibility mode.

How to fix an NVIDIA Error Code 43, Nvidia display adaptor issues

How to fix an NVIDIA Error Code 43, Nvidia display adaptor issues

I’ve got quite a few clients over the past couple of years with Nvidia Quadro cards who keep having this recurring Nvidia Error Code 43 issue, and with this they get corruption of the screen and random rebooting issues.

This seems to be irrespective of whether they have Windows 10 or Windows 11.

This Nvidia Error Code 43 issue is quite easy to fix and in all cases so far it’s only taken a few minutes to sort the problem out.

However, because of the frequency of this occurring half of the customers that have had this issue have now replaced their NVIDIA cards with the different manufacturer’s card.

So, how do we fix the Nvidia Error Code 43 issue?

First of all, you need to check that this is the error that you are getting and you can do this by opening Control Panel and then going to Device Manager.

You will more than likely notice that the NVIDIA card is already showing an error as it will have a yellow triangle next to it.

If you right click on the name of the graphics card name and go to properties, this will bring up the details of the device and on the first page there will be a box which says device status. If your video device is not working it will more than likely say, error 43, within this box.

How do we fix this Nvidia Error 43?

Well, the first thing that you need to do is download the new drivers from the NVIDIA website, this is the support page: https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

Select the make and model of your video device and then the operating system. Once done click the download button.

Warning: NVIDIA drivers are huge in size and typically expect a 400 to 700 MB download.

The process

Now, this is how we will repair our installation but first, we need to remove the old drivers.

Go into Control panel and then select “Programs and Features” and Scroll down the list until you find the NVIDIA drivers.

Depending on which NVIDIA card you have, I’m going to focus on the quadra devices which are installed in most of the offending machines I look after, these also have the audio drivers. So the screenshot below has the audio driver and the video driver visible and some of you may have the desktop manager software installed as well.

You need to remove all three of these as we are going to do a new installation shortly.

Once removed you may be asked to reboot your machine.

Warning:

I have encountered machines that will blue screen once the drivers have been removed and this blue screen may invoke the Dell recovery. Let the Dell recovery do its thing so that you can get back to the desktop.

Once the computer has rebooted fully it’s time to do a fresh installation of the NVIDIA drivers that we downloaded earlier.

Find the downloaded driver installation package and double click on it. Unless you specified otherwise this will more than likely be in your downloads folder.

Once the installation is started you will be asked whether or not you want to do a default installation or a custom installation.

Please use the custom installation option as the default installation may give you the same issues as before, this will become clear in Step 2.

Step 2, you will be asked which components you wish to install. My advice is only to install what is necessary which are the audio and video drivers unless you absolutely must have the desktop manager I would only recommend the first two options.

There is a cheque box on this page that says “Perform a clean installation”. Make sure that this box is ticked otherwise you may be left with the same problem as before.

Click the next button and let the drivers install.

Once finished you may be asked to reboot your computer please do this.

Once rebooted your display should be corrected and if you go into the control panel and device manager the yellow triangle should have gone from your NVIDIA device.

To summarise this is not a full fix for the problem and it may reoccur again in the future. I don’t know why it keeps reoccurring but this procedure so far has yet to let me down when it has reoccurred.

I hope this information was useful in sorting out your Nvidia error 43 problem?

Google Chrome wont re-open once closed

Mikki Tiamo — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:43:44 +0000

Curious one this in that once opened and then closed, Google Chrome won’t re-open once closed. This doesn’t matter if its 5 second, 5 hours or 5 days. Once Chrome is closed it won’t re-open without either doing an end task in Task Manager or rebooting the PC.

The issue is that when you close Chrome and then re-open it, it will not re-open and if you look in the task list you can see there are multiples of Chrome running. If you end task these and then re-run Chrome it will work but the problem still lies in that when you quit Chrome and then re-open it, it will not re-open.

I’ve seen this now on three separate machines, all with Windows 7 64 bit I hasten to add and all machines have started doing this of their own accord. I know something is causing it but there all different versions of Chrome so not like they’ve been updated.

The solution to this is quite easy and requires completely removing Chrome, all user settings and bookmarks off the affected PC.

So back up your bookmarks first.

Goto Control panel and goto Programs and Features and find Chrome in the list.

Select it and click remove.

this should start the chrome removal wizard and you will be asked if you wish to remove user settings and history. Make sure these are ticked as a re-install of Chrome will produce the same issue.

Once removed, open the default browser which will probably be IE11 and then search for “Get Chrome”

Re-install Chrome and now it should now restart when you close it.

Hope this helps someone.
