"Safari Web Browser has encountered a problem..." I JUST INSTALLED IT!!

Gods, I hate Windows sometimes.
I JUST installed Safari. People rave about how wonderful it is.
I can't even open it. It "encounters a problem and needs to close" Windows, of course, is VERY sorry for the inconvenience.
I've un-and-re-installed it three times, restarted the computer... everything I can think of.
How can I get Safari to work? I want to surf the Interwebz at a godlike speed too!

I am actually running Windows XP Home Edition.. I had no problems with any of the installs, even before the fresh install. I have followed every thread about the latest Beta and the crash on start issue, I have yet to find a solution. I even tried re-registering the DLL file to see if it would work. So far it is the only problem I have had. Before i re-installed my OS, the browser worked fine, the plugins worked fine..as well as the previous Betas..Now all it will do is start to show the program window and half way through rendering the window it stops and I get an error report to submit to Microsoft. It says it is caused by the WebKit.dll file. I tried copying the file from a backup of the previous install I had before I re-installed the OS ( thanks to MSConfig which killed one the three 'boot'.ini by automatically trying to Optimize; which was an accident as I was checking out the program ) anyway after all of that it still would not work, and I un-installed it... I guess I just have to wait until they get it fixed or someone comes up with an answer...
But yeah thats the only issue I had.. Installing it could be because of Group Policy on your machine, broken or incorrect registry entries, and even ( sounds crazy ) a severely fragmented hard drive. You may want to check Microsoft Update as well to make sure you have not missed any updates as this can also effect the install working correctly, in some cases the Windows Installer MSI can be the wrong ( old ) version and work incorrectly for a program that was created with the newest versions. I would say that possibly you could use a good Registry cleaner, after making sure that you have un-installed the program in any form that it exists. This would check for and clean all incorrect entries. I use WinASO Registry Optimizer to do this for my system.
After that, reboot the system to load the new registry and try the install again. I don't guarantee that this will fix the problem but if it is an installer issue or broken registry values.. This should eradicate the problem.

"safari web browser has stopped working" ... help?

So a number of months ago (5, I believe) Safari Web Browser crashed and I tried opening it and a message popped up that said:
+Microsoft Windows:+
+Safari Web Browser has stopped working+
+A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.+
Now up until the crash, I was extremely satisfied with Safari and it was my default internet browser. After I kept seeing this message when trying to start Safari, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it, then tried repairing it several times. It kept showing the same message for a while so I decided to give up for a few months, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Once again I gave up and today I tried again when I updated my iTunes and that same message popped up and Safari didn't work.
So I decided to post here to see if someone can help me figure out and fix the problem since I prefer that browser to most and never had any problems with it until I froze it and it crashed that number of months ago.
Thanks and your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Vista, but in XP the Safari preferences etc. are stored in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\
If you know where the equivalent Vista location is, rename the Safari directory to be Safari_backup and then retry launching the application to see if one of the files in there is corrupt and causing Safari to crash.
If it does work after doing that, try moving the files one by one back from the Safari_backup directory to the newly created Safari directory, restarting Safari each time, until you find the problematic one.

Help my safari web browser has been hijacked by some type of malware. My browser is locked in on a web page that pretends to be from the FBI. Is there security software I can purchase to eliminate this malware?

I am not sure if this is the correct forum but I had these bastards who have stolen my web browser. Natually they ask me to send them monies to unlock my browser. It is a dangerous place out there. I would appreciate any recommendations as to possible security software to remove this malware will be much appreciated
thank you

Safari Web Browser has stopped working.

Have been happily using Safari as my primary web browser, but now I repeatedly get this error message. I have trie repairing it and deleting/reinstalling to no avail. Really would like to get safari back as its so much better than IE/Firefox.

another oddity is that another user on the PC can use safari perfectly well.
Not sure what is causing it.

Im having problems with my safari Web browser to opening/viewing pdf files.

Im having problems with my safari Web browser to opening/viewing pdf files. I installed the 8.1.2 version But then when I click to open any PDF it says that Adobe PDF Viewer cannot find a compatible Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to view this PDF. Please select one.
i can see the adobe reader but can not select it .

did you find a solution to this? my safari history is full of
explicit sites that i have not visited. i see a lot of info on how to remove it, but none on how to figure out how they got there.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r139 has encountered a problem

I have one particular user that cannot get into the web meetings using Acrobat Connect Add-in. We can log her on with any other PC with no problems. Something on this PC is hanging up.
She gets to the login screen and can log in and accept the agreement...then in IE, nothing happens. If I try to use Firefox, we get the following error:
"Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r139 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I have tried the following solutions:
- Uninstalled/re-installed Flash
- Uninstalled/re-installed Adobe Connect Add-in
- Made sure Windows updates were current
- Deleted all temp files and cache
- Re-installed IE 8.
The problem is obviously not browser specific and appears to be with the actual Connect Add-in. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions?

can you expand on what you mean by "nothing happens" does any 2nd window launch (connectAddin)? is IE8's popup blocker on or any popup blocker? is the other computer configured the same as the computer that does not work?
you dont state which windows or flash version (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html) is in use by the client or what your Adobe Connect version is or if the server is doing SSL. if you are not sure what version you have, append version.txt to your connectserver url.
example http://myconnect.mydomain/version.txt
and how the client is connecting to your connect server, is your server behind a firewall, is their client behind a firewall. if they are behind a firewall is there company ports open for RTMP ports.
also I dont have a quick fix for you but some troubleshooting tips
you stated that they removed the ConnectAddin from the add/remove programs but you may also need to check to make sure it was removed
#connectaddin location, can remove the connectaddin folder, once you reinstall the new it will recreate the connectaddin folder
win7: C:\Users\{userid}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\connectaddin
winXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\connectaddin
to test and capture log info from the connectaddin, must create the mms.cfg
Connectaddin log folder, the file name will start with connectaddin-{current_date_time}.log
win7: C:\Users\{userid}\Documents\
winXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\My Documents\
#for winXX
#c:\windows\system32\mms.cfg
SingleLogFile=0
PlayerLogging=1
flashlogging=true
have them send you the logs to review you may also need to review the connect debug.log around the same timeframe, are you seeing anything odd.
after the testing make sure you have them comment out the lines in the mms.cfg, otherwise it will create a new file everytime they access a connect meeting room.
you can append ?mode=xml to the meeting URL. this will give you some detailed info within the browser. like which application server they are connected to and other info.
you could have the user try accessing the meeting room without the connect add-in, the addin is only required for that person to share. just add ?launcher=false to the end of the meeting url, this will force the meeting room to display within the browser and just use the flash player.

Help! - Error: Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.(5/07/08)

When I download and install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 the final installation messages says it was a successful installation. All looks good, but when I try to open it I get the error message:
Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I have uninstalled and re-installed several times, but with the same result.
I have Windows XP Pro, plenty of free disc space and memory.
I used to have Adobe Reader 7, and it worked perfectly. I inadvertently uninstalled it, and wish I could re-install it but that download doesnt seem available.
Attempts to fix:
Cleaned disc and de-fragmented.
Disabled antivirus software.
Ideas anyone?

Has anybody gotten this popup error message: ASI Eve CL Monitor has encountered a problem and needs to close

Has anybody received this error message: ASI Eve CL Monitor has encountered a problem and need to close?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Don't know

I don't think this is a Firefox problem. I have the same error message and I get it regardless of whether I'm using Firefox or another browser.
In checking [http://www.whatsrunning.net/QueryProductID.aspx?Product=16854] it is a file owned by Microsoft. I suggest you check your registry for errors.

Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.2.r202 has encountered a problem and needs to close

Seems that with the last 3 or 4 Flash Player updates, once the update is complete but before the installer actually exits, I get an error message box telling me that "Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.2.r202 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.", etc., etc., etc. I've received this error message numerous times as most of the computers I work on are Windows XP SP3 (all updates) with Internet Explorer 8 as the browser, including my own computer and my wife's. If I could copy & paste the details, I would. But the temp file that's supposed to be created for error reporting purposes, isn't, and I'm not going to spend the next half an hour transcribing all the technical details. I just want you to be aware there's a problem with your installer. -kd5150-

I'm sorry you are running into this crash. To help investigate the problem, we'll need you to do a few things for us.
First, add the following line to the file mms.cfg (open in Notepad)
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
You can find the mms.cfg file here:
xp, vista, and windows 7 32bit: c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\mms.cfg
windows 7 64bit: c:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash\mms.cfg
Next, we'll want to get a crash dump so we can see what's going wrong. You can enable crash logging on Windows Vista or 7 using the following steps:
Download the following files: Enable Crash Logging.reg and Disable Crash Logging.reg.
Double-click the Enable Crash Logging.reg file. Click Yes in the Registry Editor dialog.
Restart your computer.
Let the updater/installer crash occur
After the crash, open a file browser window and type the following in the navigation bar:%localappdata%
Go to the CrashDump folder.
Select the most recent file that appears with the extension .dmp.
Double-click the Disable Crash Logging.reg file downloaded in Step 1 and click OK.
Restart your computer.
Zip up the .dmp file and mail it (or a dropbox link) to [email protected] with a link to this thread.
For XP, follow these steps:
Show hidden files. For more details, see the instructions for Windows XP.
Repeat the steps that resulted in the installer crash
After the crash, open the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson
Locate the file named with the extension .dmp that corresponds with the correct date and time
Zip up the .dmp file and mail it (or a dropbox link) to [email protected] with a link to this thread.
In addition to the .dmp, please post or send me your Flash Installation.log.
Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi!
I'd like to start using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with Acrobat.com, but I don't get very far before I get the error message "
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close." This happens after I click "distribute form" and fill out the email addresses. It get to the point of starting to publish the response files and then the error message pops up and I can't go any further. I've made sure to uninstall older versions of Acrobat and I restarted my computer. I have a PC and am running Windows XP and IE 7. Help!

Bill:
Thanks for all the tips. Actually I already did most of this (multiple times) to no avail.
·         I’m running Win XP Pro SP3 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop with 2GB memory.
·         I Bought Acrobat 7 Standard (it came bundled with my scanner) so I do have that CD and the key
·         I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat 9 Standard on-line for $99.
·         Actually, everything was working fine until I uninstalled ATM. (I did that because my laptop wouldn’t undock or hibernate and I read that ATM could be the cause.)
·         I’ve done several repairs from Control Panel. Didn’t help.
·         Finally, this morning I decided to uninstall everything and install a trial version of Adobe 9 PRO from their web site. That didn’t work either.
·         I notice that none of these actions has brought ATM back. On the other hand, I can’t find a place from where I can download ATM either.
Here’s the really funny thing. Acrobat is not completely broken. I can actually get it to work for the first few seconds. And if I type real fast, I can even save the pdf file that it opens before it crashes! For example, if I click on a pdf file on a web page and it is small enough that it opens right away, I can click the save button and hit OK immediately (don’t mind where it saves the file, I can find and move it later) before I get the “Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” message. The same happens if I just open Acrobat and let it sit. It doesn’t crash immediately. It takes about 5 seconds before it does.
This should give a clue as to where/why it is crashing.
Tomorrow I’m going to try and get Adobe on a chat line and have them take a look.
Let me know if you get any other good ideas. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Thanks,
Jamshed Mulla
