Firefox hangs with an error message something like - Script not complete or still running.
I cannot uninstall Firefox with the uninstall program routine in the Control Panel and the Mozilla uninstall helper.exe program will not run either. How do I completely uninstall Firefox so I can make a clean reload?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure but I think it was after the update

Thanks for the reply.
I am very new to these forums (or is it fora?).
I didn't know there was a Tomcat forum.
How to I find it.
Ta much & best regards,
Pete

    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.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Attempting to upgarde itunes and I get an error message looking for "an alternate path to a folder containing 'iTunes.msi' location.  I've searched my hard drive and the file doesn't exist.  What to do?

    This worked...found on a prior discussion:
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page)...
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations'   click on 'download@majorgeeks'
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Restart your computer.
    Re-download Itunes (latest version form Itunes website) and install.  It worked!

  • How to change the java control panel and the default java in windows.

    Hi,
    Please help on the above problem. I need the answer urgently.
    I have two java version 1.4 and 1.5. I first installed the java version 1.4.2_06 and then 1.5.0_19.Now the default java is 1.5.
    Now I want to chang the java settings to 1.4 by changing the envioronment variable (classpath,path,java_home)
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\lib;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin

    When I opened your post and saw that line, I immediately moved it to the 'last in line' of a whole bunch of other stuff I did not have time to look at immediately. Now that all that other stuff that did not bore me with someone else's time constraints is out of the way/taken care of, I've returned to your post.

  • Control panel and Console not working

    Hi,
    I have installed various Java Runtime Environments, all of which run applets flawlessly. There is one problem though, I need to enter an application that needs a certificate for security, and the dialog opens as a blank screen. I'm not positive, but it is similar to when I open the control panel and the console; a blank screen. Is there a way to fix the control panel and console so it doesn't show up as a blank screen, short of reinstalling the OS? I am thinking if I fix the control panel, it might fix the security dialog.
    System: XP SP1

    I have noticed that when i maximize a window that is blank ( i.e. the console or java web start) the screen refreshes and the window is displayed.

  • ITUNES WILL NOT LOAD, I get an error message which tells me to re-install iTunes.tried on several occasions with same error message.

    I am operating windows XP and iTunes will not open. An error message is telling me that files are missing and to reload iTunes. I tried to but error reoccurs. Tried removing the iTunes and erasing all iTunes files and re-installing but same error message occurs? Has anybody had the same problem?

    Hello Roadster44,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with reinstalling iTunes.  I recommend following the steps below:
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components, may have unintended affects.If you encounter an error while uninstalling, try repairing the affected component:
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled In most cases, removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. To fully resolve these issues, manually remove any remaining iTunes-related folders listed below.On 32-bit and 64-bit systems:On 64-bit systems:
    3. Reboot your computer.
    4. Download the iTunes installer. When prompted to select what you want to do, choose to save it to your computer.
    5. Install iTunes.
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Select the 'Run as administrator' option.
    Windows XP: Select the Open option.
    Finish installing iTunes.
    It is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the first step.

  • App runs in Eclipse environment but not from jar file with no error message

    When I upgraded my jre to 5.0 my app does not run. After fixing the properties problem I had a few days ago it is now at least compiling and running within Eclpse
    However, when I export to a jar file it runs to a certain point and then just goes away with no error message!!! I've narrowed it down to the exact point where it dies but don't understand why it dies and especially gives me no errors whatsoever. It just goes away.
    It is creating an instance of a new class when it dies.
    Can someone please help me?

    Ok, well it doesn't. Anyway, I'm still having the same problems. I can run my jar file to a certain point and then the application just stops. I know this because I've put come message boxes in the application to let me know where in the app the system is.
    It always dies when it is instantiating the new class called HeidiFrame; done by:
    HeidiFrame heidiFrame = null;
    if I put code in between the above line and before the below line, this code will work fine
    heidiFrame = new HeidiFrame();
    but if I put code after the above line, nothing happens
    As I said this all worked fine until I upgraded to Java 1.5
    If you look at http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/compatibility.jsp there are 23 compatibility issues with the new release. We're using xml stuff so that was my first problem and the code wouldn't even compiile. Once I added in libraries, the code compiled and ran beautifully.
    However, when creating my jar file so I can deploy this application , I've discovered that the jar file will only run to a certain point, as I've stated previously. So, that's my problem. Not that I can't run it from the command prompt, which I can't, but it's a gui application. I've tried changing things in the classpath file and the manifest to no avail. Nothing changes. The application starts but when it goes to instantiate the HeidiFrame class, which is the class that actually builds the gui it dies and goes bye bye.

    When starting up Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message?
    The error message is: what happened: Type Error: Components. classes ['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined.
    It appears all the time already from the beginning after installing Firefox 4.

    Thanks a lot. The Ask toolbar created this problem.

A number of word(s) ineed do appear, however it is not possible to select any of them as ws possible as mentioned in olders versions.

  • I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    Has nobody answered your question? I have this problem as well. Only one sender, to my knowledge is bouncing. Want to know how to fix it. It's my mom, so either way - my end or her end, I have to fix it.  Does anyone have any answers?

  • Firefox 31 hangs on startup with no error messages

    Simply put, Firefox hangs right on startup. I see it loading the two generic tabs and then the wheel spins and then it says 'Not Responding' on the top of the window. I have to force close it each and every time, and I've also tried the following solutions in no particular order to alleviate the issue:
    1) Ran SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes last night for any possible infections. Reported back with nothing.
    2) Booted my laptop up in Safe Mode (with networking) and still couldn't get it to operate.
    3) Performed several clean uninstalls and re-installations which also included clearing out the profiles altogether and then trying to open it again, nothing.
    4) Booted up Firefox by holding down the shift key and resetted it to its default settings and then tried firing it up again. Nothing.
    5) Attempted booting up FF in Safe Mode with the shift key, nothing.
    6) Created a new profile and tried booting FF, nothing.
    7) Read this article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hyper-Threading about Hyper-Threading and followed the instructions which got it to operate, but I can't access the toolbar or the option menus. When I click on options Firefox closes with no error messages. I have a feeling this isn't the issue at hand but I figure I'd try it and at least I can get it to fully load and not hang.
    8) Deleted all Firefox extensions and Plug-ins, nothing.
    9) Enabled Firefox through firewall and antivirus settings, nothing.
    10) Updated my BIOS firmware as suggested in #7, nothing.
    I've done almost 10 different things and I still can't figure out why Firefox keeps hanging on startup. I've looked into Youtube videos for tutorials and others posted about the Java crashing that was happening in an earlier version of FF. Since its not crashing, I'm unable to look into the crash logs and pinpoint a crash number or anything because it just freezes and when I click to close it I get a message saying: 'Close program' or 'Wait for it to respond.'

    Try to completely uninstall firefox, that means to '''delete''' the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory#Windows Installation directory] located for your 64bit in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ , also, '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox and '''if exist''', '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
    then download and install again a new full installer from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    disable firewall and antivirus and antispyware for a little bit, and run firefox. any luck ?
    thank you
