Firefox 12 won't start after upgrade from 3.6 in Windows XP with SP3

When I start up firefox after an upgrade to 12 on my Windows XP with SP3 I see the firefox.exe process in Window's Task Manager but it never starts i.e. I never see a browser page. If I try to start it again I get an error message that it is already running.
I have rebooted and even uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox but no browser appears.
Is it possible for my to download the version I had (3.6) and I can just live with that or is there a work-around to get Firefox 12 to work on my desktop?
Thanks

Well I was able to run the profile creator one time (firefox.exe -p) and I created a profile with it but still not able to start firefox. So I tried to start it again after rebooting. It starts a process which I can see in Task Manager but now I don't get either the Profile Manager dialog box or FF.
I also tried to start the profile manager with this command: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p.
I terminated the firefox process and tried again but get the same results.
BTW, this command: %APPDATA%\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES shows a profile called m6woxz30.default, which is not the name I choice for my profile the one time I got the Profile Manager to run.
BTW, thanks for your help and ideas.

Firefox won't start after upgrade, it appears on the windows task manager but closing the firefox.exe doesn't help

I upgraded to firefox 4 and it asked me to restart the system, since then it stopped working. it just won't open. I have windows xp and when I click on the firefox icon I see firefox.exe in the windows task manager under 'processes' I tried ending the task but it wont help. i also tried removing and reinstalling.. didn't help either :( I also checked if Kaspersky might be blocking it but it isn't

The only thing that worked for me was installing an older version (3.6) and it started working fine... I dont even want to try upgrading it to 4 again..

EM dbconsole won't start after upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4....Arrrgh!

Hi All,
I'm having a problem getting the dbconsole started on an upgraded 10g r2 db.
OS = XP 64bit
DB = 10.2.0.4
It was working when it was 10.2.0.1. After the upgrade process ran :-
emca -upgrade db
this completed upto the point of starting the dbconsole at which point it tried and tried but eventually timed out. So I removed and recreated the repository
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
, same resultant problem as before. Finally following these instructions :-

This resulted in the OUI failing due to time out of the dbconsole startup.

Firefox 8 starts after upgrade but none of the windows are visible and it crashes on quit

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

Hello.
I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista. Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print. The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
- Printer is hooked up wirelessly
- I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
- I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
There is no error. Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed. I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.
Paul
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful restore system and start again. Most it took me was three attemps.
Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
Hope this helps you......... Good luck

MSY does not start after upgrade from 50SP6 to SP11

Hello experts again,
after upgrading from 50sp6 to sp11 I cannot start MSY.
I've implemented note 1099457 - AMT is starting now,
but MSY still does not start.
Has anybody some experience what this could be ?
Thanks and best regards
Gerd

Hi,
as I assume the AMT is installed completely new when doing a SP upgrade because it is a standard tool which you cannot enhance. Therefore it is running properly.
Regarding MSY you need to perform a full generation within MAS (Visual Studio) after changing the generation settings to MSY (similar to MSA) because the runtime files like MSY.DLL need to be fitting to the new SP11 framework dlls.

PDF files won't open after upgrade from 9 to 10 or 11

After upgrading from Reader 9 to Reader 10, I lost the ability to open PDF files on my Win 7 laptop. Even the icons became blank white blocks. I reinstalled Reader 9 and it all worked as usual. In trying Reader 11, it happened again. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your reply. Allow me to clarify.
After installing Reader 10 or 11, the icons for PDFs on my desktop changed from the typical PDF icon to a blank white icon like when the extension of a file has been changed or omitted. Double clicking the icon no longer opens the PDF file. Yes, Reader opens but I no longer was able to open any preexisting PDF files using the new version of Reader. I did try changing away from protected mode to no avail.
I do not have a screen shot as I have downgraded to Reader 9. I have scanned thoroughly for malware and viruses and none have been found.
Thank you again. I look forward to your further comments.

Very slow encoding after upgrade from 5.03 to 5.5 with MXO2 mini

Hi all.
After upgrading from CS5.03 to 5.5 my encoding now takes 5 times as long. A 2 minute HD Video file would take 2 minutes, and still does on the PC I haven't upgraded (identical almost) but now with CS5.5 it takes almost 11 minutes.
Some explanation....
I create HD MJPEG files on a PC with Blackmagic Decklink.
I transfer these files to an HPz800 which used to run CS5.03 with Matrox Utils 5.1.1.37 and an MXO2 Mini with Max. (Nvidia Quadro fx4800 and 12GB of RAM)
On a Blackmagic timeline HD 1080i MJPEG with filters of Auto Color, Fast Color Corrector and Gamma correction a 2 minute timeline would encode in 2 minutes give or take a couple of seconds.
Now with CS5.5 and Mtx 5.5 an identical file takes 11 minutes to encode to Microsoft avi - Matrox 1920 x 1080i - 25fps.
If I remove the filters (which I need to be able to use) it will come down to 2 minutes as it used to be.....so it seems to be the filters are now slowing things down when they never used to. I have never rendered before exporting. Ever. So this time I tried rendering first and it brought the 11 minutes down to 7 minutes but when taking into account the 4 minutes rendering time I am no better off.
I have updated CS5.5 to CS 5.5.1 and MTX Utils to 5.5 and then 5.5.1 and it makes no difference. Still 11 minutes to decode 2 minutes with three filters, which is exactly what I have always been doing but now it doesn't work....
Can anybody help? or make a suggestion as to why using filters in 5.5 now multiplies the encode time by 5 when it never used to. Everything else bar Matrox Utils on this machine is as it was before the upgrade to 5.5 and as I say my older machine is still 5.03 it can do it all in 2 minutes even with the filters intact.
So have I really spent a small fortune upgrading to make my output 5 times slower. Not happy......

To go further, every single encode that I have done is slower than it was before with CS5.01 or 5.03.
This is odd because going from Blackmagic to any other codec doesn't necessarily need the Matrox box or Matrox utils
Blackmagic HD or SD to
Matrox HD
QT HD MP4
QT SD DV25
DV AVI SD
Mpeg2 - DVD
Every single encode is slow by 2x to 6x.
Why should Blackmagic HD to QT MOV MP4 take twice as long as it used to...... having said that The speeds I am seeing now are what it was like before I attached the box in the first place, whether a Matrox codec was involved or not.... It is acting like a blocked funnel. when it used to be a lovely wide and clear funnel.
Anyway Matrox have reproduced the problem and are investigating, so hopefully there will be an answer soon....

Firefox will not start after upgrade from 3.0.1

I have Firefox 3.0.1. I would like to upgrade to 3.6, but if I try to upgrade to any version, I cannot open Firefox. It is not like the other "Will not start" problems, because in the Task Manager, firefox.exe pops up, then goes away instantly. I have tried using Safe Mode, doing a clean install by uninstalling Firefox and my profile, cleaning the registry, then using CCleaner, then trying to reinstall, but the problem persists. Sometimes firefox.exe doesn't even show up in the Task Manager. I also cannot use any version of IE(even if I wanted to), Safari or Chrome. They all have the same results. I suspect that it is not a problem with Firefox, but with my computer, but I don't what is wrong. Can anyone help me?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded from 3.0.1

Sounds like something is killing off your browsers before they can start. I really have no idea why Firefox 3.0.1 is working somehow, though.
Do a malware check with a few different programs, you need to use all, because not all programs detect the same malware.
For each of these, make sure they are updated after installing, and run a full scan.

FireFox won't start after upgrading

This morning I upgraded to FireFox 5.0, when it was done installing the upgrade the last window had the option to start FireFox on completion, I left this option checked but after clicking the "Finish" button nothing happened so I clicked the new FF icon on my desktop. Still nothing. I opened Task Manager and nothing was listed on the "Applications" tab but when I clicked on the "Processes" tab there were several instances of FF running so I selected each one and clicked the "End Process" button which worked to exit all but one of them. No matter what I tried it would not terminate that one instance of FF so I shut down the computer. After firing up the computer I tried re-running the FF install app but it kept telling me that I had to exit FF before it could run, I looked in Windows Task Manager again and there was FF listed under "Processes". I restarted the computer to get rid of the running FF and then downloaded the FF file again, but am getting the same results. It just won't start (and it won't even give an error message)! I surfed the Web and found info stating that you could SHIFT click the FF icon to open it in Safe Mode, but that didn't happen either. Any ideas????

it does not work even in windows safe mode with networking. same issue. if i wait for some time firefox comes but in not responding mode. then a pop shows up with - script: chrome//browser/content/tabbrowser.xml 2123 .

startx at the command line.
I just tried Xorg -reconfigure again, adding the AutoAddDevices = false option - still doesn't work, giving the error about config/hal. Without the option, it just goes back to the terminal with no errors.
Pacman log says the only thing upgraded today (after pacman) was the kernel, nvidia, and kernel-firmware. cdfs conflicted with the new kernel, so I removed it. Then I rebooted, and X stopped working. Downgrading those back again doesn't fix it. I don't get it.
>>EDIT:
Okay - what does cdfs have to do with Xorg???? This makes no sense. I downgraded the kernel pkgs and nvidia again, and this time installed cdfs, which I forgot to do last time. Now X starts. I don't really get it.
Maybe hal in xfce or some plugin needs to use cdfs for something?? I don't really know - but I'm just glad it's working. I guess I'll file a bug report for cdfs so it can be built to the new kernel and hold off upgrading until it's fixed with 2.6.31. sheesh! too weird.

Macbook Pro won't start after upgrade to 10.5.2

I just updated my Macbook Pro 1.Generation to 10.5.2 via software update. After a double boot, the apple logo and the loading wheel appeard as expected. After several minutes of loading, i had to login. After login, the leopard wallpaper appears and then nothing happens. I cannot do anything. It seems that the finder and the dock won't start up.
I have several apps installed, which may cause this issue. For example DockDoctor.
What can i do? Do i have to reinstall leopard and try again to install 10.5.2 via CombiPackage?
Thanks for help

Start by:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Then download the standalone updater and reinstall 10.5.2. If that doesn't solve your problem then you will have to do an Archive and Install.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
2. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
3. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
4. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
5. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

RADIUS won't start after upgrading to 10.6

I upgraded a Mac mini from 10.5 to 10.6 recently, and for some reason RADIUS won't start. The only way I can get it going is to run "radiusd -X" from the CLI which starts it in debug mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? It doesn't seem to log any error when trying to start normally through Server Admin; it just doesn't start.

I solved the problem.
For some reason I could not even start RADIUS using launchctl.
$ cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
$ launchctl start org.freeradius.radiusd
launchctl start error: No such process
Doing a "launchctl list" didn't even list the radiusd even though the file was there.
I then ran:
$ launchctl load -w ./org.freeradius.radiusd.plist
And that did the ticket. I can now start and stop RADIUS from within Server Admin.
Hopefully this helps someone else should they go through such a painful upgrade as we did.

Calendar won't start after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Hi,
After upgrading to ML, my calendar service didn't want to start.
There is a "Error reading settings" message in the Server window when selecting "Calendar". Additionally, when clicking the "on" button, I get the following error:
The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getLocationList' in plug-in 'servermgr_calendar'.
Where do I start troubleshooting this issue?

Hm, sorry. I found more errors!
