I've installed Firefox 3.6 running under Vista V6.0 Service Pack 2. Any attempt to do anything at all with it produces a Windows error message that Firefox has stopped working and it then closes Firefox. Is this a Vista issue?

The download and install processes seemed to work OK
The first Firefox window opened suggesting I update Adobe Flash Player. Clicking on download (with AV s/w either on or off made no diference) produced the Windows message that Firefox had stopped working.
By-passing the Adobe download suggestion and attempting to open up my home page (Google) produced the same result.
In fact any attempt to do anything, i.e. hitting the Enter key or left-clicking the mouse, produced the same result. Firefox freezes and WIndows then closes it.

Try to update Windows Vista Service Pack 2 using Windows Update, then select all high-priority or important updates, install them and restart the computer. Run Firefox. If it works fine then OK or if it crashes then there was no problem with the operating system.
The second method is restart your PC, after the manufacturer logo appears and before "Microsoft Corporation(C)" progress bar appears press F8 key. you will be presented with a menu with options-
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
etc. select "Safe Mode with Networking , and then login to your user account. Run Firefox again. If it works normally, then that probably means that your PC was infected prior to installing Firefox. Update your existing antivirus and run a full scan or acquire free Antivirus like Avast Free Antivirus etc.
If it still crashes, then try re-installing NOT Repairing Firefox AFTER INSTALLING AN UPDATED ANTIVIRUS .
OK the last way, better uninstall Firefox 3.6 and install Firefox 4 Beta 7. Firefox 4 Beta 7 runs 3 times faster than Firefox 3.6, with an overall improved interface.

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • I have iTunes 11.4 and Windows 7. Using iTunes on Windows 7, I get message that iTunes has stopped working and Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is available. Same message for last two days. Anyone else getting this?

    I have iPad 2, iPhone 5s, both with iOS 7.1.2. I use PC with Windows 7 and hard wire internet service and iTunes to update apple products; no wi-fi. I updated iTunes to v11.4 on 09/11/14. I ran Windows update on 09/10/14. I did not try to open iTunes on my PC until yesterday 09/16/14. I got the message: "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I got the same message today.  Does anyone know if this is a Windows problem and if a solution is coming or an iTunes problem?  I can get iTunes on iPad and iPhone.  All other programs PC are working correctly.  I use Norton Internet Service on PC.  I ran virus scans and repair/reinstall iTunes yesterday on PC.

  • Photo Stream PC-error message "applephotostreams.exe has stopped working" and now additional photos that I want to upload is not uploading.

    I sync my devices with a PC running windows.  I have turned on Photo Stream on my PC, iPhone4S & iPad2.
    On my PC it creates two default folders in Pictures called "My Photo Stream" and "Upload".
    Instructions says that you can add photos to the "Upload" folder and it will automatically upload to your "My Photo Stream" folder and when your devices are connected to wi-fi they will upload to each device and show up in the "Photo Stream" section of Photos.
    I was able to upload 50 photos but then I got an error message that applephotostreams.exe has stopped working.
    How do I fix?

    I was having the same problem.  Earlier in the week, I was able to drag a few photos to the upload folder and they synced correctly.  Yesteday, I dragged different photos, and I got the "applephotostream.exe has stopped working" error.
    The solution - for me, at least! - was to reduce the size of the pictures being uploaded to the photostream.  While all of the pictures were jpegs, the first set were ca. 800K (3800 x 2500), and the second set were ca. 2.5 MB (4000 x 2000).  When I reduced the resolution of the last set by a factor of 4 (ca. 600 K, 2000 x 1500), they uploaded without a hitch.
    Based on this admittedly sketchy experiment, it looks like Apple has a max picture size limit, apparently based on file size rather than picture resolution).  Perhaps < 1 MB?  To be rigorous, I should complete the experiment - leave the resolution of the second set of pictures alone and reduce file size by reducing jpeg quality. 
    Has anyone heard about a picture file size limit?

  • My itunes will not play any of my movies. it has played them in the past, but recently it shuts down when i try to play one. i keep getting an error message that itunes has stopped working.

    windows is telling me that a new version of itunes is available. but it is the one i currently have. i have also gone into my controll panel and repaired itunes. still not working. any suggestions?

    izzyjay....  I am having the exact same experience you are with Itunes....  everything worked fine in Itunes version 10.5 but has gone south with something they have done to quicktime....  it has further messed up the connection to AppleTV as well....  another upgrade that seems to break everything.....  just to test out my theory I opened quicktime separately and navigated to my movies directory and tried to play a movie directly .... it won't play.... or even appear as a playable file..... I think they have screwed around with this separation of quicktime and Itunes and basically broken everything.
    Try to reinstall version 10.5 Itunes and 7.7.1 of quicktime, which seem to work correctly

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Error Message : "Adobe Acrobat Has Stopped Working"

    I use Windows 7 - 64bit / CS6 Master Collection that has Adobe Acrobat x Pro.
    When the computer is on for a little while, Acrobat would generate the error message that it has stopped working and then shuts down. Once that error message occurs, I cannot get Acrobat to stay open. It opens the PDF document, stays open for a few seconds then the error message occurs and it shuts down.
    What helps for a short term is to restart the computer. This seems to temporarily remove the error until the computer is on for a while then the error returns.
    This problem repeats. Product repair feature does not work. This has nothing to do with the license, I tried that fix and it made no differnce. I do not have this issue with other Adobe products included in the master collection.
    It seems fruitless and frustrating to send a message to Adobe Support, the run around with pages and links is like smacking walls on every turn, it is obvious Adobe does not want people contacting their support. Service from Adobe for their products is poor.
    I hope that someone here has the answer to the problem. Anyone?

    Ok, here is the update.
    The link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html , leads to a webpage that says to download a fix ZIP file named: "Acrofix.ZIP". It contains the file "acrofix.exe".
    I did use this "exe" file about 2 months ago and it did nothing to fix the issue. I used it again today, because the same issue of "Adobe Acorbat has stopped working", occurred again and again it did not work, the problem of "Adobe Acrobat stopped working" presists. Again the only work around, which is temporary, is to reboot the computer.
    So far these do not work:
    Relicensing or Registering the Licence
    Acrofix.exe
    Anyone else have an answer? - or am I the only one suffering this really annoying issue?

  • Itunes launches fine however I cannot connect to the Itunes store.  It says that Itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution.

    Everything seems fine until I try to access the ITunes store.  Then I get a message that ITunes has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution.  Then it tells me that no solution has been found and closes down Itunes.
    I can still sync music / podcasts to my ipod and iphone.  I am still getting podcast downloads automatically for the ones I have subscribed to.
    This is the first time this issue with not being able to access the Itune stores has happened to me.  I was just there 2 nights ago.
