Re: i just got a tablet and am getting apps stopping and a notice saying such n such an app has stop
Exactly. "Just got" + "not working" = replace. Never spend more than 5 minutes fixing someone else's problem unless it's a favor or you're getting paid for it. (And by reading this thread, you've used more time than you should have.)
BTW, if it's a "normal" pretty cheap (under about US$80) tablet, it's probably a no-name Chinese copy of something 4 years old, and isn't worth the box it came in, so I'd return it, not get it replaced. If it's an LG, or Samsung or some other known name, ask for a replacement.
