Firefox 7 download gives my XP machine a blank screen upon completion... now what?
I'm running Firefox 3.6.23.... and when firefox asks me to update to firefox 7 I download it and upon completion, end up with a blank screen and no options to click.. I've done this routine more than once... and always end up with a blank screen on the desktop... I'm running Windows XP for an operating system... can't figure out what the hangup is with Firefox 7 download...

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I downloaded Firefox to my PC and olny get a blank screen when I click on the Icon, Why?
I only had Internet Explorer on this new( to me) PC and wanted to download FireFox. I downloaded it to my PC and when I click on the Firefox Icon, all I get is a blank screen with a small menu bar at the top left. I DO NOT get the icons that show on the sample input screen at the top right. All I get is the History icon which does nothing when I press it. I deleted the Firefox app from my PC and downloaded it a second time and it does the same thing. My son gave me this used PC, but it did NOT have firefox on it. What do I do now?
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Windows Server 2008 Standard 32-bit gives Rundll32.exe error and blank screen on bootup
Last week our file server installed automatic updates and then requested a reboot. After rebooting it repeatedly gave a blue screen and rebooted. After 5 hours on the phone with Microsoft support we all gave up on it with no solution. Later
we were able to get the machine to boot using an old mirrored hard drive of the system drive. We can now access our data drive, however after login we get this error:
Rundll32.exe : Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.You may not have the appropriate permission to access the
item.
and the console just shows a blank screen. We are not able to do anything on the server. I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and bring up Task
Manager and I see that SQL Server is not running, so not all services are running normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksHi,
Based on my research, this issue occurs because the Rundll32.exe file is corrupted. You need to extract a new copy of Rundll32.exe in C:\Windows\System32.
To do this, you can either copy it from another same version of Windows or perform an In-Place Upgrade.

Why on my ipad do some PDFs download and others I get a blank screen?
When I use safari to download PDFs sometimes I can and other times I get a blank page. But if I download the same pfd on my iPhone it works. Why doesn't it ways work when I use my ipad ?
I was having the same problem. I noticed that the PDFs that I was having problems with were usually large PDFs. I opened them on my computer and reprinted them through Adobe Reader but I refined them to a smaller size. Most of the time this does the trick. I know its a pain, but if you need to take PDFs with you on your iPad, its the only way I found it works. Here's how to do it:
Open the PDF on you computer (PC or Mac).
Click File--> Print in Reader.
Select "Adobe PDF" under printer.
Click on Properties --> Adobe PDF Settings (tab) --> Default settings. Select "Smallest File Size" from drop down. Click OK.
Click Print and save to your desktop.
This will create a small version of the original PDF file on you desktop.
Then email the PDF to yourself. Click on the PDF in the body of the email and open it. If you need to take it with you and read it without internet or wifi access, open it in in iBooks and it will be saved on your device.
I know this is a pain, but its the only way I can get certain PDFs to open on my iPad. If you don't have access to a computer, ask who ever is sending you the PDF to do it on their end and send it again.
Apple really needs to fix this problem. iOS really has a problem with certain PDFs. Sometimes you not only get a blank screen, but I find that some files are corrupted and come out with crazy colors and unreadable areas. -
I sent to Tools\Options\General and set "When Firefox Starts" to Show a Blank Screen. Didn't work. I made other settings but Firefox ignored the settings and defaulted to the Google screen each time. I have uninstalled Firefox three times and deleted all remaining files and references to Firefox I could find but when I reinstall Firefox 3.6.13 the Google screen is back.
I am now seeing this same IP address resolution problem slowly (but surely) populate into other browsers (firefox and internet explorer) in windows. The only way I can rationalize this is there is some kind of address resolution problem with one (or more) of ICANN's DNS servers.

Firefox is freezing, then only showing a white blank screen when I try to load it.
Ok, I have not had any problems with firefox, I was logging on it all the time, everyday, etc... with no problems until today. Today when I went to log onto the net, firefox opened, and it looked like everything I had customized from tabs, bookmarks and etc... had been wipped off. But also, it would not load any page, none of my bookmarks were showing in the side bookmark window that was open. It would only say "connecting..." in the only tab that was there. I could not click on anything, or do anything. When I tried to click on anything within it, I would get the "not responding" error at the top, and then the whole browser would disappear, and be replaced with a white blank page, with only the firefox logo, in the blue bar at the very top. This would also be frozen, and I could not even get it to close. I would have to open my task manager, and close it that way by stopping the process.
I have not installed anything new on my comp, I have not downloaded unknown things, or anything new I do not think recently either. Like I said I have been using firefox for years, never had this problem. I used it just fine even this morning before I went to bed. Then tonight when I woke, logged on, this was happening.
I have tried using IE, and IE is working just fine, without any problems. I used IE to download, and then update firefox to the newest version, still no change. By the way I was not running "really old" version or anything, I keep my firefox updated. Soooo can someone help me?I have a similar issue -- using an embedded google form rendered as an iframe. It is present in the source, but displays as blank space.
This problem seems to be confined to Mac OS X (I'm on 10.6.3), and I didn't have this problem with FF 3.6.x (not sure if I ever had 3.6.9, or what version I had prior to 3.6.10). The issue is not present in Chrome or Safari, or on 3.6.10 on Windows 7.0 I believe -

Please set me up with CC 2014!
For some reason none of my apps would launch properly—or would launch but default into the "spinning rainbow of death" icon,
effectively locking up my desktop (MacPro) and requiring restart.
When I visited your troubleshooting website section, I was advised that I needed the most recent version of CC.
I confess to overzealousness in that I deleted all CC apps and used the Cleaner app to remove all vestiges of CC.
SO! How do I get my apps back? I can't even open the Adobe App Manager program I downloaded!
HELP!!Hi there,
You mentioned you used the Cleaner Tool to uninstall everything, but still have Adobe App Manager (AAM) installed? Please try running the Cleaner Tool again (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
Remove all CC files and be sure to uninstall AAM.
Then download the CC Desktop App here: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud
After you launch the desktop app, use the Apps panel to install the programs you need.

Downloaded Cisco Connect for E1200 v2 disk image damaged. Now what? recent Mountain Lion upgrade
I had originally set up my E1200 Jan 2012 & had Cisco Connect setup. I didn't use it much but back in Oct after being away for 10 days I didn't have internet connection. Had to re-set both cable modem--then I at least had connection via ethernet, but still no wifi connection. Had to turn off for awhile to get it Router to properly reset & work. & then I think I had to do another reset maybe in Dec, can't remember exactly.
As I mention in another post, I have been having frequent intermittent not connected to internet messages for a long time. Usually if I just turn wifi off & then turn it back on it finds my network (although frequently I notice that it was on my guest network rather than main). I still don't know if it is cable modem, router or my ISP, altho they came out & checked & said signals ok, but modem could be going (Its old but about to move so don't want to buy new modem now).
I updated to Mountain Lion about 2-3 weeks ago.
After a Panic last night I was advised to make sure everything updated including router firmware.
When I opened Cisco Connect it said I had an unsupported Operating System. Trying to figure this all out, I finally found links to download Cisco Connect that are supposed to be compatible w Mountain Lion (at least the original link said that, but not where I went w the links so hoping it is right link for that). Anyway I downloaded it & was reading a bit & then clicket on the setup icon.
That said it was damaged & to eject it. I downloaded it via wifi just like I download other software. Maybe it is hyper sensitive so I need to take it over to plug directly into my cable modem? But then that will mess up the router, although I guess it will need to be reset any way.
So I think i need to get Cisco Connect updated so it works w Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion told me about 1 software that wasn't compatible but didn't pick up on Cisco Connect.
So don't know if I need to do a hard wired download, unlike the way I download other things, or what to get an undamaged copy. I then hope that it will see the old version, even though it isn't didn't work & hopefully pick up all my settings & all.
& then I guess I still need to check for a firmware update. & I understand that a firmware update should be done w a good connection (although the user manual just says good signal, web says hard wired ethernet. & because of the intermittent issues I plan to to it manually by 1st downloading & then installing from the download so there won't be a risk of interruption during install--if its even needed.
I'm running on a mid April 2010 13" MacBookPro
Any suggestions? This all is rather confusing.
KathiWell I was trying to update Cisco Connect so it would work w Mountain Lion but after 3 tries at the download I kept getting this same error message that it is downloaded. I even shut down & restarted before the last time w same result.
I should not have to spend hours of my time to get this to work. That is ridiculous.
Right before starting this process I checked for Apple updates & found a firmware update for my MacBookPro. I quickly downloaded & installed it, no problem. It took a very few minutes & then I backed it up & started working on this many hours ago.
I am an end user--not an IT professional. I just want things to work. I should not be expected to have to spend hours trying to figure out how to get stuff to work & still it doesn't. So I guess Linksys doesn't care that much about making things easy for Mac users.
I recently had the cable co come out & check the levels & all. they all checked out ok & they did change the fittings in several places on the coax connecters for good measure.
My cable modem is set up just across my living room from me & it is not a large living room. The router is right next to it, but it is not at a desk or place that is very comfortable to set up my Mac.
I sure hope that those security settings have been set up by default when I orginally set this up about a year ago. & I don't reall know how to change those settings without Cisco Connect, which I have been unable to get reinstalled since i keep getting those warnings about it being damaged.
I just want my computer devices to work. I don't want to have to spend hours troubleshooting them w poorly written instructions that don't really tell how to update firmware & Cisco Connect for tnose of us who have already had it set up before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Having a link to download Cisco Connect that supposedly works w Mountain Lion but doesn't since it keeps giving a warning is not very helpful. There was nothing I saw in all my searches to tell what the results of even being able to upgrade Cisco Connect. Would it be able to figure existing settings? Didn't see anything that explained how that would work.
I don't appreciate my time being stolen by making it so hard to just get this updated! I"m giving up on this. I may try taking it back to Best Buy to see if they can tell if the router itself was also defective but I think I will likely go get an airport Express so I have a reliable router that is easy to use!

After downloading an upgrade to firefox 4 the computer shut down and restarted, but firefox wouldn't open, saying I needed to shut down and re-start the computer first. Which I did again. Same result. So I tried to repair the file but it told me to reboot. Which I did again. Then I tried to uninstall it, but it wouldn't saying I needed to reboot. Which I did again. Then I tried to download firefox 3 but it wouldn't saying I needed to reboot. Which I did again. Now I've lost my browser! How do I get firefox working please?
It seems strange to reply to my own problem, but I'm doing it in the hope it might help someone who's in a fix, as I was. First, let me say that the problem of Firefox 4 being jammed may not have been the fault of firefox; it might have been this cranky vista operating system... but if you're introducing a browser for use on a cranky system, you need to tailor it to that system.... After I posted this problem, I tried a system restore to just before the firefox 4 download, which re-introduced firefox 3.6 on my programs, but it was still jammed and blocked. .... Then a friend recommended a free download: Revo Uninstaller, which will force uninstalling if necessary; and after an initial protest, Revo got to work and removed all the firefox files.... Then I re-downloaded firefox 3.6... and amazingly: it works! Even my tabs and bookmarks have been preserved, although I don't know how!.... For the future: if mozilla can't overcome this problem before they force firefox 4 on their users, then if it jams again, I have been advised to go to Google Chrome- which I don't want to do.... So, do, please, Firefox, give us a fully workable and user friendly system before you force us to go over to it [Firefox 4, that is]. Thank you so much, in anticipation.

My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?
cor-el
Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.
