"file is corrupted" i get this message everytime i try to install ANY version of firefox. i just acquired an older dell latitude d800 windows xp pro OS and i HATE IE!! but cannot get firefox to work?!?!?!!

i tried firefox 6 beta, 5 and 3.6-- all the same mesage.... is there some setting i have on my comp that dislikes firefox installers?

It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
If a reboot is needed then that usually means that some (security) software is blocking files or you need elevated Administrator permissions.<br />
Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as ... : Administrator).
If that still causes the same problem then remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install. You need to download a fresh copy of the full version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again. I get this message when I try to install FF 7 and FF is NOT running! Help

    Get this message everytime I try to upgrade from FF6 to 7. I have rebooted and tried again twice and still nothing. Shortly after I get the failed to install message FF6 starts up by itself. On top of all this some, if not all web pages, do not complete. Google Chrome works just fine. No fix for FF problems I will uninstall and use Google Chrome

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    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.
    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.

  • HT5225 "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSXLion. It has something to do with a repair Apple performed last year. I use a 17" MacBookPro. Any suggestions?

    "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme. Use Disc Utility to change the partition scheme". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSX Lion so that I can upgrade my 17" MacBookPro to move to iCloud. My harddrive was replaced last year by Apple because of a fault by the manufacturer and I think this is the cause of the problem. What can I do so that I don't lose my content.

    When you click the partion tab. There is option on the bottom of the window. Click on that there there are these options.

  • I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo- "Alert. Couldn't contact Spell Checker." It slows everything down and I get the beach ball

    Alert! Couldn’t contact Spell Checker. I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo. I get the beach ball and it slows down everything.This has been happening since yesterday. Please help if anyone else has had similar problems or has ideas to fix this. Thanks.

    Chris,
    I am having Spell Check probs too - it underlines, but that's all. I Googled and tried 5 different places for an answer - even 'jumped the pond'....but got no answers.
    i started a thread, "Spell Checker on the fritz!!", and got one good and reasonable answer...
    only it didn't work. It involved a .plist file, and once you toss one and do a re-start, it's supposed to re-build itself. But, no, SpCk still 'on the fritz'. I'm going to do one more re-start, but otherwise....
    May the first one on either thread that gets an answer that works - PLEASE let us all know.
    Keep your fingers crossed and hold your mouth right - lol. Nikki B.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

    Hi ihrtthecowboys,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, see the following article:

  • After installing the maverick i get this message when i try to open   iTunes: If you want to run i 64bits modus you must remove the mark:Open in 32bits modus.But i have removed the 32bits and i still can't get it to work!Have maces

    after installing maverick i get this message when i try to open itunes:Unmark the 32bits modus-but i have unmarked it several times!The new iTunes requires 64bits modus so what shall i do?

    I upgraded my 2007 iMac (20") to Maverick. Should never have done this! Lost mail, lost my mail archive, lost numerous programs/applications, lost all my installed hardware, spend 4 days on getting it running again with the (supreme) help of Apple Care. However it should not have happened at all!
    iMac Computers with less than 4Gb of internal memory (as explained by Apple Care), or less than (estimated) 150Gb of free disc-space should not upgrade! Simple as that and the App Store should warn you about that and not simply let you pick up your free copy of Maverick!

  • I am getting this message as I try to upload raw images from my file folders to my PSE

    I am getting this message as I try to upload raw image files from my file/folders into PSE what do I do to get PSE to accept the raw files?
    "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types"  What do I do.  Just to let you guys know I am able to upload all JPEG files that are already in my files into PSE but not the raw photos.  Obviously I want to keep them raw in order to have more control over the outcome of the picture.

    The  camera I am using is the Canon Rebel T3I, the PSE version is elements 9, and I don't know what version of raw converter I may or may not be using.  Where do I find the version of raw converter?

    Trying to watch a video on quick time player and i keep getting this message You may need to install additional software to open this type of file. what do i need to install and how

    I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
    The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
    http://www.perian.org/
    and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.
