  • Photoshop wont open and says not responding when error message comes up

    I have photoshop cs6 and it will not open. After trying to open for awhile it says not responding in my dock. Then an error message pops up saying photoshop unexpectedly closed. It happened once before and crashed my whole computer to where no applications would open and only my desktop would work.

    As soon as you start Photoshop quick as you can press ans hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt.  If you do that in time Photoshop should prompt you ask if you want to delete your preferences reply Yes.

  • (06 Oct 14) updated firefox and Kaspersky, now have problems with Barclays site - firefox "not responding" and plugin error on trying to close. Help!

    Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
    Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
    Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
    In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
    None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
    It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)

    My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
    Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.

    After installing a new version of Firefox, I get the error message "The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll" when I try to start firefox. Elsewhere in the forum a complete reinstall is suggested; however, I can't do that because of my company's IT policies. Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT a complete reinstall? Thank you!

    If you can't reinstall Firefox yourself then you need to contact your IT department and ask them to check the Firefox installation.
    It is possible that some files got broken with the latest update.

  • Everytime i close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. 6 times.

    browsing normally, close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. i click ok. then another comes up. i click ok. 6 times total this error message comes up, every time i close firefox. really annoying.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    You can also try to repair the disk permissions:

  • On leaving Firefox I get an error message, instruction could not be read or could not be written or privileged instruction

    This error started when I had problems with >NET Frameworks It is annoying, not critical. When I close Firefox I get an error message, 1 of 3. Instruction could not be written, or could not be read, or Privileged Instruction. The location of the error varies each time. I have tried IE and it does not generate the same problem.

    See [[Firefox crashes when you exit it]].
    Does it send crash reports to Mozilla? If it does can you post some of the crash report IDs as this may help identify the cause of the crashes. For details on getting them see the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    *(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • Regularly get Mozilla Firefox (Not responding) message

    After leaving computer idle but logged in to our website back pages when I return and try to click in I get the message Mozilla Firefox (Not Responding) this tends to happen more in the afternoon. Sometimes the only way to clear it is to turn the computer off.
    Why does this keep happening?

    '''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />

  • Repeatedly get this message and have this happen - mozilla firefox not responding - and then everything is frozen. why and how can this be prevented?n. g

    repeatedly get the above message - mozilla firefox not responding - happens on no particular website - often happens on my aol home page. i would like a simple, easy to understand explanation or solution.
    also, often get this message - Problem Loading Page. problem appears to be with firefox as i can access the sites through my mobile device.
    and one other problem - a site i could accesss but was not allowed to register - after thinking i must be out of my mind going round and round in circles - i called the site's 800 number and was told there is always a problem registering using mozilla firefox. so what did i do, i registered on my mobile.
    i don't think any of this should be happening.
    please help and/or advise. thanks.

  • System running slowly and keeps locking up. I get "Mozilla Firefox not responding" message until system catches up and strts operating again. Ideas?

    When I boot system it takes forever to open. Once it is up and running I can move through some pages easily but if I try to open news sites or sites with a lot of information the system locks up as it is loading (sometimes for several minutes at a time) and will not let me get out until the system catches up. In some instances I get a "Mozilla Firefox not responding" message in the upper tool bar and the screen gets a milky color until the system catches up and allows me to continue. Any ideas?

    According to everymac.com, your Mac came with Tiger, 10.4.x and can't go any higher than Lion, 10.7.x.
    It would have come with gray, machine specific disks. Since there's no reason to install 10.4.x first, and then Snow Leopard over that, just purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for $20. What you won't get with the retail version of SL is the iLife suite (Garage Band, iDVD, etc.) that were on the original bundled disks, but you can purchase iLife on Amazon pretty cheap, and get newer versions besides.
    When you get Snow Leopard, you can boot to the DVD, erase the drive and install everything clean. Hopefully, you issue is only software, and not hardware related.
