  • Random error message="FireFox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for the inconvenience."...What causes this???

    I launch firefox3.6.13 into google homepage.
    I click on almost any bookmark and I get that message.
    another message I get is: " ZoneAlarm browser security detected problem with stability of protected browser. It will be restarted."

    I'm asking for more information.
    Please try that in [[safe mode]] and check for the issue.

  • After updating Firefox it will no longer open and i get the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" end of story.

    Firefox was working well. One day I logged on to use Firefox and was prompted to update my version which I did. After or during the update the following message was given on the screen "firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". It closed and now every time I click on the firefox icon I get the same message from Microsoft. That is all the information I get. Each time I go to open Firefox I get the same message. There is an error message attached to the Microsoft dialog box, but I don't understand what it means.
    I have sent it to Microsoft but no reply.

    Make sure that you aren't running Firefox in some compatibility mode (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29 Rosetta]).

    thank you Abner!
    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
    the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

  • Firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I have a laptop that runs on Windows XP SP3. I download and install Firefox 13.0. It was working. I turned off the laptop, then turned it on some time later. Whenever I click Firefox, the error message appears, however, I can still use Firefox. Firefox will close if I click "close" in the error message. The only way I can browse the web using Firefox is to drag the error message off screen and then continue on my work.
    I'm sure no one would like an error message just hanging around off screen. I researched for a solution but it seems none of it work.
    1 - "It might be a problem with the plugins/add-ons." I turned off all my plugins/add-ons, restarted Firefox, and I still got the error message.
    2 - "Try Firefox in safe mode." I did and I still got the error message.
    3 - "It might be malware." I did a full scan using Avast and Advanced SystemCare Pro. Still got the error message.
    4 - "Do a reinstall." I still got the error message
    I've tried everything with no results.'

    Try to do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    You can also try a new profile to see if that helps.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Starting Firefox I get the "Send Error Report" popup window. It states "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    This just started today. Everything seems fine. I just push the popup off to the side and continue to use the browser. If I were to click on the, "Send Error Report" or the "Don't Send" buttons then Firefox just closes!
    Strangest thing yet, trying to figure it out!
    Oh, I tried the reboot without add-ons! Even did the reinstall, still the same???

    Just got back online, still working on things, BUT ???
    I went back and dumped Norton's which I get for free from Comcast. I downloaded the AVG scanner. Went through all the bells & whistles and things seem ok ???? But I haven't done the reboot yet, so will do that soon. But I wanted to drop a line here and let you all know what is happening.
    And Thanks Fred, the funny thing was it did seem to have something to do with their update??? I do like Norton's but my son uses this AVG and he said it was better, lol!!! But again, everyone has their favorite!
    Mine is Norton's so once I confirm that everything is good, I'm going to try redoing Norton's and I'll try your suggestions, if they don't fix it!!
    Thanks again, and will let you know if this is the fixed!!!

  • I've begun getting the error message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" when clicking on some links.

    This happens especially with certain news sites (e.g., NY Times), but also with others. I've updated Firefox and plugins, and checked for the malware file nsBrowserOpt.dll in the components folder of Firefox. My antivirus is up to date. I was able to access the problem sites with IE, though Explorer gave me a similar error message this morning.

    I'm asking for more information.

  • LiveCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Constant Error. HELP PLEASE

    Alright so basically, my parents got a buy-one-get-one-free offer on webcams at christmas, and so they gave me one for my own as i lost my old one. Everything was working fine, seemed like a great camera.
    However, randomly one evening when i tried to open Live! Cam Center to record a video, it refused to open, instead giving me a small white box with the loading symbol inside (thats where live! cam center usually opens out into the UI) and a boz saying "LiveCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.".
    Now i thought that it was just a random one-off thing, but it happens EVERY time, WITHOUT fail. The cam works fine on MSN and skype etc, just when i try to record anything or manually take pictures , cam center doesn't work. And it doesn't seem to just be cam center, almost every software i've tried for just plain recording/capturing failed.
    Tried updating to latest drivers and software, tried using older versions, tried using the cam from my family pc (identical cam) - failed, tried using all different USB ports randomly, failed. I'm really desperate here now, i'm at the point where i'm almost going to give it away and buy a non-creative webcam cos its really annoying.
    My webcam is the Live! Cam Video IM Pro. Here's a copy of the error report from windows, its the same every time:
    AppName: livecam.exe AppVer: 2.2.3.0 ModName: ctvidcap2.dll
    ModVer: 2.2.3.0 Offset: 00002ca
    PLEASE HELP! IM DESPERATE >_

    See if there are any Crash Reports ID's saved.
    Type '''about:crashes''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
    Then open each Crash Report and once the report is loaded completely, copy and paste the URL of each report into the the '''''Post as Reply''''' box in this thread.
    IMO, seeing that you are using WinXP, you might be better off with the older Flash 10.3.183.90 version. Flash 11.0 and later have "improvements" that don't work on WinXP - only Vista and later. Adobe did continue to support and provide security updates for Flash 10.3 until a few months before WinXP went EOL back in April of this year.

  • An error occur indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I am having trouble with adobe indesign CS5. Each time I opened my document an error occur indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. It got send report and don't send report to Microsoft. I have already used google web as a help and nothing came up. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it but still same issue occured. Other Adobe products such as Adobe Dreanweaver CS5 and Adobe Flash CS5 work fine.I would greatly appreciated if you can walk me through. Thanks.

    Windows error reports are too vague to help us much. Did you get an error number?
    Is this happening now every time you start ID? That would likely mean the recovery data is damaged. You can find the InDesign Recovery folder in your user profile. This folder is probably hidden, so you'll need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files, then look in the same directory as the location of InDesign Defaults, which you can find for your version of Windows in the information in this link: Replace Your Preferences
    Once you find the InDesign Recovery folder, either rename or empty it, then ID should start normally. If you file crashes again when you try to open it from the file menu please tell us as much information as you can.

  • AS 10gR1 vs "Apache.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" on XP

    I would really appreciate if somebody has solution for Windows error message popup box
    "Apache.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    I have installed Oracle Application Server 9.0.4 Infrastructure (from 10gR1 AS) on XP laptop (I know it is unsupported)
    opmnctl.exe status show "UP" status for OID,OC4J but "Down" for HTTP_Server
    When I try to run
    opmnctl.exe versbose startproc ias_component=HTTP_Server
    I will always get "result=failure", text="failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit"
    and Windows message popup box
    "Apache.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    (I have also 9i and 10g installed in separate Oracle homes).

    I have made 3rd attempt to re-install AS due "Apache.exe has encountere..and must be closed" error.
    I have succeeded after doing following:
    - unistall previous AS 9.0.4 (10gR1) install
    - disabled McAffee and firewall
    - changing NLS_LANG=AMERICA_AMERICAN.WE8ISO8859P15 prior installation
    - removed path to other OH (9i and 10gR2)
    - restart XP laptop
    - doing install AS 9.0.4 (10gR1)
    Now opmnctl.exe status shows everything works (including HTTP_Server :)
