Firefox 13.0.1 will not start up in Windows 7 Home Premium.

Reinstalling did not help, it doesnt create a window or a windows process in task manager. When i start it up, next to the pointer comes a loading circle but that stops and nothing happens.

The Run as Administrator checkbox was empty and it didn't work. I checked it on and now firefox works. Resetting wouldn't help anything cause it's a clean install that won't start up...
So starting up as administrator makes it work again...

  • Wi-fi touch mouse x7000 will not stay paired on Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

    Product: HP wi-fi touch mouse x7000
    Computer: HP Envy sleekbook/ultrabook 6t 1000
    O/S: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Wifi type: Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth + WIDI
    Error message: none when attempting to pair
    I received my HP Envy 6t two days ago and have started the process of loading software and devices.  In addition to ordering the PC from hp.com, I also ordered the HP Wi-fi touch mouse x7000.  After booting up the PC for the first time and walking through the Windows 7 set-up, I immediately installed the wi-fi mouse. 
    Upon initial install of the mouse with the provided install CD, I received an error message stating that one of the drivers was not digitally signed and that the version of windows installed did not support unsigned drivers and that the installed device may not work because the driver would not be used.  I continued forward with the install and the mouse seemed to be in working order.  I then decided to go out to the HP support website and download the latest Windows 7 64-bit driver for the mouse I had.  I then ran through the install and the mouse still continued to work.  At this point I had not yet rebooted the PC.
    I then performed the following steps in the listed order:
    - Installed HP Photosmart 4700 series printer with provided install CD and established a connection via wi-fi
    - Installed MS Office 2010 SP1
    - Started download of automatically identified Windows Updates that were related to the O/S and other installed Microsoft software
    - In parallel with the Windows updates download, I installed the latest release of Symantec's Anti-Virus software and updated its software and virus definitions, this all finished prior to the Windows Updates being completely downloaded.  I left the default settings as is for the Symantec Anti-Virus configuration.
    - The Windows Updates then installed
    - Rebooted the PC
    After the reboot of the PC was completed, the mouse would not pair at all.  I attempted several times where I would go into the HP mouse control and select configuration and then pairing.  I would follow the instructions of pressing the connect button and the screen would then say it paired, but the O/S would not recognize it and the mouse would not move.  Going back into the mouse control center it then also recognized it was not paired.
    I then attempted to uninstall the mouse software and it would get to the point where it was "gathering information" and it showed a full status bar yet it just hung there.  I would wait for 15 minutes and then hit cancel and it would still just hang there yet again.  After 15 additional minutes of canceling I would just reboot the PC for which the mouse software was still installed but the mouse continued not to pair.  I tried the uninstall process 3 times, each with a PC reboot as part of the process because it would just hang.
    I am not sure if the install CD installs a 32-bit version of the mouse software and drivers.  If so, perhaps I confused the registration of the product by installing the 64-bit driver I downloaded from HP support.  I have attempted to install both the 64-bit driver and the 32-bit driver for Windows 7 that I downloaded from HP Support online in which the execution of the installation is successful with no errors.  However the pairing continues not to work and the uninstall hangs.
    In addition, after the PC bounce, my HP printer was no longer being recognized.  Come to find out Symantec is blocking communication of the PC to the router and thus to the printer.  So I disbled Symantec and the printer now works but the mouse still does not.  I even rebooted the PC after disabling Symantec and attempted to pair, with Symantec still disabled after reboot, then attempted mouse driver re-installs, mouse software uninstalls and still no luck.
    So I am at the point where I cannot uninstall the mouse via conventional means and the wi-fi mouse will not pair manually or automatically.
    I have not yet circled back to performing another Winows Update check to see if there are any additional updates after the intial download of the ones mentioned earlier.  I will plan to do that next time I am on the PC.
    Any suggestions?

  • Editor in elements 8 will not open.  using windows 7 home premium. can this be fixed

    editor in elements 8 will not open.  computer has windows 7 home premium.  steve

      You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == either after I last updated to 3.6.6 or .7 or reset my inernet exploerer values to default

    I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
    Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
    I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

  • Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

    Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.  This started with the latest update.  I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
    One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
    I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86.  It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?"  I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes.  Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing.  In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
    I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
    P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.

  • I can't uninstall Firefox(3.6.3) either through the control panel or by going to Program files/Mozilla Firefox/Uninstall and running the helper.exe, I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)

I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

    Hi Guys,
    I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
    (READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
    '''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
    - quick step guide for this:
    select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
    '''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
    - AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
    '''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
    '''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
    '''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

  • Will Lightroom 3 run under Windows 7 Home Premium?

    I'm about to upgrade my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium and wonder if Lightroom 3 will run under this OS? The  Release Notes identify "Home Premium" as a suitable version of Vista, but don't make any mention of the "flavours" within Windows 7 - just "Windows 7". I don't want to upgrade to an OS that won't support Lightroom 3.

    People have reported online that they have had no issues with the LR3 on Win 7 Home Premium.

  • HP Compaq d530 SFF not recognizing DIMMs. Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit - BIOS version 02.44

    Hello HP community!
    I recently received a HP Compaq d530 SFF, from the company, where I had my work experience.
    I gladly took their offer and took the PC home, all was going well until I bought myself some new DIMMs, from ebuyer.com.
    I new for a fact, the computer needs DDR 333MHz, PC2700 and it had to be in DIMM format, so I went and bought 3x1GB modules. A few days later they arrived and I inserted them into the computer, making sure that two DIMMs were in the blue slots, and the others (I wanted to keep a 256MB module in) in the black slots.
    I re-inserted the power cable and tried to boot the PC, it showed me a BIOS message, showing the amount of memory had changed, since the last boot. Once the configuration showed up, it only recognized the 256MB module. I then powered down the computer, to then remove the 256MB module, to see what would happen. I then rebooted the PC and it gave me an error tone (No picture). To which I then (rotatingly) tried each different DIMM, to see if one of them was defect. They all gave me the same error tone. Since then, I have been running Windows Vista Home Premium, with 1GB (4x256MB DIMM).
    Does anyone maybe have a suggestion, how to solve this problem?
    I have already updated the BIOS version to 02.44 (Latest I could find).
    Thanks in advance!
    Yours sincerely Simon Cahill
