I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

After installing Firefox 3.6 I click on the icon to open it and get the error message "Windows cannot find 'C\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' " can anyone help?

This has happened after uninstalling Firefox, twice and downloading it twice.

Did you check if the Firefox file is in that location?
If it isn't there then do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program 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.
If the file is there then do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Hello Jignesh.
This issue has been reported before by other users, and it turns out it's the effect of malware. In other words, your system is infected. To scan for malware, install, update and run these programs ''in this order''. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in their "free mode", but the features you'll miss are not really needed to find and remove the problem you have. Remember that ''not all programs detect the same malware''!

Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4(64bit)...'

I've just installed the CS6 upgrade on my WIndows VIsta x64 bit machine.
Just now, I opened a folder of files in Bridge CS6.
I highlighted one of the files and selected Ctrl/o to host Camera Raw in Photoshop, which is what I always do.
But, I got an error message saying that Windows cannot find Photoshop CS4.
I did uninstall CS5 after installing the upgrade, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
D.

For some users an uninstall of previous version wrecks havoc with file associations.
First try edit/preferences/file type associations. Click on reset "reset to default associations". If that does not work click on individual file and set default to CS6.
If the above does not work you either have to unistall CS6, run the Adobe Script Cleaner or read registry solution in this link. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1005273?tstart=0

Windows cannot find c:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 64bit\Photoshop exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly. This error comes up and I can't get photos (raw) to open from bridge. Also I have Photoshop CC not CS5.1as error states.

Shall I just reinstall the program? It was running fine until I got a Trojan last week. I'm pretty sure the Trojan has been removed'

It sounds like your windows registry is messed up. That you may have had cs5 at one time and upgraded to cs6 than got a subscription and installed Photoshop CC. You than followed that with an uninstall of CS6 which backed out its registry update and restored windows registry Photoshop.exe key to what it replaced your old CS5 path. Since CS5 is no longer on you machine you get that message. Use regedit search for key Photoshop.exe and correct the path to Photoshop CC 2014...

"Windows cannot find 'Flash'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again."

I can't open Flash files from Flash Builder 4.6 in Windows 7. I just get this message "Windows cannot find 'Flash'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again."
In Preferences Fila Associations for FLA Adobe Flash Editor (default) is selected as per default initial settings. I've even tried reinstalling FB from scratch and it is still giving this error.

This worked for me (requires Flash install)
In menu bar, select Window->Preferences
In Preferences window, select General->Editors->File Associations
Select or add ".fla" to File Associations
Change the Associated editors to "Flash Document". Set it to "Default"
I also removed their internal "Adobe Flash Editor" since it didn't seem to be working anyway. Not sure if this makes a difference.

grateful for any help you can offer regards

Try to delete the files in the temp folder.
Download and save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 25.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) if you keep having problems with downloading and/or installing.

When searching, I get this message: Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesproblems.

when I enter a word in the search window (the one with the curved arrow at the end), I get this message:
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesproblems.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Getting the error "Windows cannot find '-Xmx128m' "

Hi all,
When I try to I execute workbench.cmd, downloaded with OracleR TopLink 10g Release 3 (10.1.3), I am getting the error "Windows cannot find '-Xmx128m' .Make sure that you typed the name correctly...." .Further, my application is based on Java Swing and not a web application.
I made the following changes in the <TOPLINK_HOME>/bin/workbench.cmd file :
a) Set the 'JAVA_HOME' to the JDK path, same as that given in the
Environment Variables setting.
b) Set 'DRIVER_CLASSPATH' to point to
<TOPLINK_HOME>/jlib/classes12.jar.
My System configuration is as follows :-
Operating System : WindowsXP
JDK Version : JDK1.4.1
Data Base Client : Oracle9i
Data Base Server: Oracle8i
Can anyone please suggest any solution for this problem.I 'll be very thankful.
Regards,
Manju

Have you run across this thread while trying to resolve this problem - How to start Workbench (Toplink 10g) Not sure if it applies to your situation, but thought it might be helpful.
If this doesn't help, perhaps you can paste the contents of your workbench.cmd file into this thread and we can try to debug the issue further.

I have CC and bridge, bridge will open but I cannot open a photo file. I get a message: Windows cannot fint C:............... CS4 ck to see if you have spelled properly. Any Ideals? I had CS4 but have since removed it.

A couple of possibilities:
How did you remove CS4 ? If you removed it improperly instead of Uninstalling it (say, you "deleted" it or just dragged it to the Recycling Bin), you almost certainly left stuff behind that needed uninstalling.
What's even worse, if you removed CS4 after you installed CC you may have messed with the CC installation.
I'm not going to attempt to tell you how to fix it, since this will probably involve uninstalling CC and after that looking for, downloading the Adobe CS_Cleaner tool and the CC_Cleaner tool, then re-installing CC, since I'm not a Windows user and don't want to mislead you.
In any case, when Windows users chime in to assist you, they'll need all the details which you have not provided so far.

Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

"Windows cannot find...Make sure you typed the name correctly" issue across many files

I recently have run into an issue where many programs cannot be opened. I get an error message saying "Windows cannot find... Make sure you typed the name correctly the try again." This happens for task editor, or manage in the control panel. I cannot change settings in the system security as I get the same message.
I ran a full scan of McAfee and nothing was picked up.

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
These symptoms you describe appear because Windows cannot find certain application when it is lauched using some kind of shortcut. Since it appears with many applications (including Task Manager), this is usually considered to be caused by malicious programs (malware) such as viruses, trojans, etc.

*Note - the above Microsoft KB article is just one example for the many many viruses that exist out there. Of course, you may
Please, double check your system with other security products aside from your McAfee.
Try to check your computer using the free ESET Online Scananer:

Scan with the free HitmanPro :

Please, report back your results.
If it happens so that you cannot run ESET or HitmanPro, best would be to use an alternative computer (known clean one), prepare a bootable CD/DVD using a "live" antivirus image such as Kaspersky Rescue Disk or ESET SysRescue Live, and scan your system using this CD/DVD.
