Problems With Installing a New Browser

There are many choices available when it comes to surfing the Web, each with many versions, updates, and accessories. Sometimes different versions of Internet browsers are compatible with different software and operating systems. With all these choices, it comes as no surprise that there are often problems when installing new browsers, such as Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Some of the issues are relatively easy to fix, while others might require more advanced troubleshooting.

Page Display


A variety of problems can occur with page display. The browser may display a line of text such as "the page cannot be displayed." This often happens not only after installing a new browser, but in existing browsers as well. The first cause of the problem might be connectivity issues. Always check your Internet connection to see if you have a full connection. Try to restart the computer and then troubleshoot your connectivity problem if this is the case.

The next root of the problem may lie in browser settings. Each browser has different configurations and instructions upon setup. The browser may require changing settings before use. After installation, the computer might also have to be restarted for the browser to function properly.

Compatibility

Many people---especially those with older computers---might have compatibility issues with some newer browsers. Some browsers require certain processor speeds and memory space and are not designed to be compatible with older operating systems. Check the browser information from the download page for whether or not it is compatible. If it is not, uninstall the browser and then reinstall the browser you were formerly using, or another compatible version.
