I am getting this error message" firefox.exe entry point not found, the procedure entry point is ThreadDesktopComposited could not be located in the dynamic link library user32.dll" before Firefox opens up

this is the only error message that comes up, then Firefox opens up

This issue can be caused by a problem with the file c:\windows\system32\dwmapi.dll
The file dwmapi.dll is a Vista file and should not be present in Windows XP.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

I'm getting a "The procedure entrypoint ssSr192x__ssSr192drvssSrReset could no be located in the dynamic link library ssSR192x.dll" because the ActiveX instrument driver DLL doesn't have the function names in the export table.

Is there a way for my CVI project to reference the functions in the ActiveX without including the instrument .fp in the project?
Thanks much.
I'm confused on how CVI uses ActiveX components and hope someone can help.
I'm using an ActiveX driver from an instrument manufacturer and I use the .TLB to generate a .fp, .c, and .h file. If I register the .dll and load the .fp in my project, all is well. Unfortunately in my application the functions to control this instrument are in another DLL whose .lib I include in my CVI projec
t. Running the CVI project this way gives me "The procedure entrypoint ssSr192x__ssSr192drvssSrReset could no be located in the dynamic link library ssSR192x.dll" because the instrument function names aren't in the export table in the instrument DLL. Non-ActiveX DLLs have the export tables so everything works for them.
Program structure with non-ActiveX DLLs:
CVI project (.exe with common.lib in project list)
|
V
Common DLL (MeasDMM() with hp1234.lib in project list)
|
V
Instrument DLL (hp1234_measure())
Since I get a .c and .h file from the .TLB, I've tried recompiling the DLL (.dll and .lib produced) and the functions seem to work, but I get "Class not registered" errors unless I play games with the registry so I'm obviously violating numerous Microsoft rules!
Is there a way for my CVI project to reference the functions in the ActiveX without including the instrument .fp in the project? Thanks much.

Hello Jeff,
Where were your getting the .lib file for the ActiveX DLL? Did you use the "hp1234"
ActiveX driver generated by the "Create ActiveX Automation Controller" CVI Tool to build a static library? If you open an include file and choose Options >> Generate DLL..., it will generate source code or a static import library to load the specified DLL and load functions specified in the include file (this only works if the functions are exported from a DLL). However, in the case of our ActiveX Automation Controllers, ActiveX calls are used to access a DLL. This means that you do not need an import library. You should be able to open the "hp1234" source file and click Options >> Create Object File. Simply #include "hp1234.h" and add "hp1234.obj" to your Common DLL project;
the .fp file is not necessary. If this does not answer your questions or if you experience further difficulty, please post further details on what you are doing and the errors that are being encountered ("play games with the registry" and "recompiling 'the' DLL" are a bit vague in this case).

The procedure entry point NS_Set DLL Directory could not be located in dynamic link library Xul.dll. Firefox 4 downloaded and used yesterday won't start today. Any answers?

I downloaded Firefox 4 yesterday. I used it and had no problems. I started my computer today and clicked the Firefox icon and got the message "The procedure entry point NS_Set DLL Directory could not be located in dynamic link library Xul.dll" .I tried to shutdown and restart and got the same message.I use Norton Security. Could it not recognize Firefox 4 and done this?

'''Edit: '''That was a lot of questions. You might want to just re-run the Firefox 5.0.1 installer to see whether that corrects what appears to be a mismatch of files. I suggest saving the installer to the desktop, restarting Windows to ensure that all file locks are released, and then running the installer. As always, you can download from here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
In your other post, you wrote "I just downloaded FireFox 5.0 today, and none of the icons on my desktop will open. This is the message that I receive. The procedure entry point NS_Set DLL Directory could not be located in dynamic link library Xul.dll."
Can you describe what happens in these different scenarios:
(1) Start Firefox with its own program icon. Error dialog, but Firefox runs normally after you dismiss it? Or no error? Or Firefox won't start?
(2) Firefox not running, double-click shortcut to web site on desktop. Error dialog but Firefox loads the page after you dismiss it? Or Firefox doesn't load the page? Or Firefox never loads??
(3) Firefox running, double-click shortcut to web site on desktop. Error dialog but Firefox loads the page after you dismiss it? Or Firefox doesn't load the page? Or Firefox dies??
(4) Double-click unrelated desktop shortcut. Does this give an error as well?
If you've noticed effects with links in documents or emails outside of Firefox, that could be a clue as well.

Excellent!
Please note the following:
Note: iCloud Backup does not back up music, movies, and TV shows that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, or any podcasts, audio books, or photos that you originally synced from your computer. iCloud Backup will restore your purchased music, movie, and app content from the iTunes and App Stores during the background restore process. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

I am trying to get to a college webpage for information and get this error message from firefox Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (html) isn't associated with any program.

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.

Since updating to 10.4 getting error message on startup 'AppleSyncNotifier.exe – Entry Point Not Found, The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll.'. How do I fix this annoying problem?

Please help me fix this annoying problem?

This is the fix I got from discussions and it worked for me. It is copied below. I just did the manual fix which I have underlined. Good luck! Regards, Belle.
This can occur because libmxl2.dll is not in your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support folder.
There have been some issues with this and other dlls not being in the right place (or not being everywhere they should be) since the 10.3.1.55 iTunes update.
However, I note that the 10.4 iTunes update is now out - surprisingly quickly - so try installing that, rebooting, and see if your issue is solved.
If it isn't, though, here's the manual fix:-
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well.
I actually had the issue with SQLite3.dll, and the above fix worked for me (I found it in an April 2010 posting!).
I passed on the fix as above for the similar issue with libmxl2.dll to someone who had exactly your problem, and he reported that it fixed it for him.

Not much to add. Before Firefox will open, I get this error message, "plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined". I click the "OK" button; Firefox opens and I have no further problems.
I use an Apple with OS v. 10.6.7 and had no problems until I downloaded Firefox 4.0

That indicates you have an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck
