Foxfire will not start. windows 7 home premium

After downloading and installing FoxFire, and pinning the icon to the taskbar, it will not open when it is selected. I can double-click the icon on the desktop, in the taskbar, or under the start button, all that happens is the spinning circle appears with the mouse pointer for a few seconds, then disappears. The program does not open, nor does it appear in the task manager list of running applications. If it won't open, I can't use it, rendering it useless.

hello BobLewis, as such a problem can sometimes be caused by malware that is active on the system, i'd recommend to run a scan with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

  • Live Update 3 will fail on Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hi,
    I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with BIOS 1.0, in a Windows Vista Home Premium system
    I have downloaded Live Update 3 and tried to run it. I get various error messages one after another: "driver not valid", "Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error", etc, and then I have to close down Internet Explorer to be able to get back to a normal situation in the system.
    Can you please let me know how to update the BIOS?
    Thanks.

    Go in BIOS and make sure USB Legacy Support is Enabled(can be named USB KB/Storage Support), re-try to boot from your USB key again.
    If no change:
    Use HP Formatter(http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/32594.asp) to change USB key geometry, format the USB key in FAT32 via HP Tool.
    /* some USB keys are picky, and they need a special conditional to boot from it, Forum Tool is using the existing drive parameters */
    Then re-run Forum Tool, when its done reboot PC and boot again from it.

  • WDS service will not start Windows Server 2012 R2 with Update

    Greetings,
    After building my WSE box clean with new hardware and with Update version of WiSE 2012 R2, I find that it let me set up Windows Client Restore but now the WDS Service will not start for love nor money.
    Any suggestions?  Am I missing a Win-PE boot Image?  Should I do something else?
    Please assist,
    Bob Hessenauer

    All,
    The problem was a conflict between DHCP and WDS.  Followed the instructions in this article and all is now fine:

  • System Restore will not run on Vista Home Premium

    I cannot get system restore to run  on my T61 using Vista Home Premium I get messages like:
    "The Restore point could not be created for the following reason: The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried the error may not reoccur". It did.  
    I also get "Rescue and Recovery Backup Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the applicaion to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available." It did not.
    I have also been advised no restore points are available.
    The net effect is I cannot use System Restore at all!
    Has anyone else had a problem like this with system restore?  Lenovo has been no help.I have had a number of Dell computers and this is my first (and last) Lenovo. When it was quite new and the problem occurred , I contacted them but they just blew me off..
    RHM

    So i assume that your T61 originally came with Vista Home premium installed??? Did you make the Recovery Media disks when you first got your machine??? If not call Lenovo up and obtain those disks, and then use them to reinstall your service partition and your OS.

  • JavaFX stage crashing on program start, Windows 7 Home Premium, NB 6.9 RC2

    Hey all,
    I'm creating a Java/JavaFX application and have been using an interface to pass data back between the two programs. Upon running the program in NetBeans 6.9 RC2, it sometimes runs but often crashes. I'll post up some code, but I think it is mostly to do with the fact that I am trying to run this in a 64-bit environment. If I comment out the section that instantiates and runs the JavaFX portion of the program, the application runs every time. So, for the code, I am using the java interface method as described on this page. My FX class defines a scene and stage and then adds a bunch of lines to it, like such:
    public override function drawPaths(legs: ArrayList): Void
            var leg: Leg;
            for(l in legs)
                leg = l as Leg;          
                insert Line
                    startX: leg.getStart().getX()   startY: leg.getStart().getY()
                    endX: leg.getEnd().getX()       endY: leg.getEnd().getY()
                } into myScene.content;          
        }I tried commenting out the section which calls this code and the program still crashes. It may be all in my head, but I believe it crashes less, though I haven't really got a statistically significant number to prove that.
    As for the system, it's a Core2 Quad with 6 gigs of ram and 64 bit Windows Home Premium. I just installed NetBeans 6.9 RC2 and have been getting the same crashing happening as when I was running NetBeans 6.9 Beta before. NetBeans points to the 64-bit JDK and I also have the 32 bit JDK installed. Earlier I had just the 32 bit JDK installed and the crashes were happening, so I figured I would uninstall it and install just the 64 bit versions, to see if the system liked that better. But then I kept getting the "build failed" error and realized that for whatever reason the 32 bit version is needed for JavaFX. At that point, I reinstalled the 32 bit JDK with the NetBeans directory still set as the 64 bit version, and then it started compiling again. It seems to be crashing the same amount as when I had just the 32 bit version installed.
    So does anyone have any idea where to start looking here? I'm gonna test this out on my laptop (32-bit, Windows 7 ultimate) and report back with what the crash rate is like.

    Well, I did some further testing, and it seems this is a Windows 7 32/64 problem. I installed NetBeans 6.9 RC2 along with the JavaFX developers kit and JDK/JRE in Windows XP Mode, all 32 bit (it's only a 32 bit processor). I ran my app using "javafx -jar MyApp.jar" 25 times and it didn't crash a single time. On W7-32, failure rate was about 40% and it was rather streaky. On W7-64, failure rate was even higher.

  • Satellite M115-S3154 will not start Windows XP

    Opened new post per Jerry concerning my 3yr old Satellite: M115-S3154 w/ Windows XP Media Ctr Ed 2005
    Yesterday upon start up, I immediately rec'd message stating:
    - "windows did not start successfully - recent hardware or software changes might have caused this"
    - it gave options to restart in the 3 different Safe Modes, last known configuration and start normally - none of these worked. I've tried numerous times yesterday and today with absolutely no luck.
    When I shut laptop down 2nites ago, it seemed like it shut down extremely fast?! Today I realized that battery yellow light was on and thought maybe it wasn't charged enough. Charged for over 2hrs, have a blue light, but still had same experience as above.
    - I removed and replaced battery - no luck
    - I removed and replaced HDD - no luck
    I just now, followed your advice on pressing F8 immediately after start - however, there is no repair mode or whatever you mentioned under the Windows Advanced Options Menu for this laptop - what I do have is
    = the 3 different Safe modes - tried all these, no help
    = Enable Boot Logging - tried this, no help
    = Enable VGA Mode
    = Last Known Good Configuration... - tried this, no help
    = Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only) - tried this, no help
    = Debugging Mode -    tried this, no help
    = Disable automatic restart on system failure
    = Start Windows Normally - tried this, no help
    = Reboot - tried this, no help
    = Return to OS Choices Menu
    I attempted the Microsoft Knowledge Base article suggested by Jerry -
    Advanced troubleshooting for general startup problems in Windows XP - but no help.
    I also tried MS article 310353 - How to configure WinXP to start in a "clean boot", but under Method 1, the downloadable guided help would not run on this computer i'm using to figure out the Toshiba problem. Method 2 of this guide requires you to be able to open windows - pretty dumb since I can't get windows to run in first place! So I'm still stuck.
    I do have the original Toshiba Recovery and Applications CD - I have many files and pics that I do not want to lose.
    thanks roo

    Satellite M115-S3154  
    there is no repair mode or whatever you mentioned under the Windows Advanced Options Menu for this laptop
    That was for the Windows Vista thread you jumped in to.
    = Disable automatic restart on system failure
    Did you try this one? Instead of a reboot, it should give you a blue screen with the STOP error and possibly the file responsible. We could use that information.
    Ihave many files and pics that I do not want to lose.
    If the hard drive is still okay (there's no reason so far to doubt that), we should be able to rescue the files.
    One way is to put the hard drive in an enclosure and plug that into another computer.
    You can also make a bootable CD with tools. Let us know.

  • Imac froze and on re load folder with question mark appeared.  Now will not start up to home screen.

    The other night my Imac froze during updates.  I found it in the morning with the screen and mouse frozen and only the loading icon spinning.  I re stared the computer from the power button.
    Upon re loading the apple logo did not appear and was replaced by a folder with a question mark in the middle.  I looked this up online and found the best option was to use disk utility to check and repair the hard drive.  This showed an error with HFS.  Used disk utility to fix the hard drive so thast no error appear.  I re stared the computer but all it loaded was the folder with the question mark again, so I decided to erase the hard drive of any information (I back up quite regulary, but left it as last resort due to inconvenience), when installing again it seems to go so far before telling me it cannot install and I need to re start.  I have erased the dsk again and completed disk clean too before trying again and getting the same results.
    I am currenlty stuck at this point and need help, which would be appreciated.
    My Imac is an early 2008 Aluminimum model and installtion disk is 10.3

    The folder with ? mark mean one of 2 things.
    1) The OS is so corrupted that the hardware can't find it as a valid way to boot the system.
    2) Your hard drive has failed.
    You can try booting from the Recovery HD partition, Commadn + r keys at startup if you are running Lion Mt Lion or Mavericks.
    Or boot the system from the original System reinstall DVD that came with your Mac or an upgrade OS X install DVd you may have purchased.
    With either use Disk Utility to see if the hard drive is seen and if it can be erased or repartitioned and then restore from a Time Macine baclup or reinstall OS X.

  • Itunes will not start windows 7

    trying to install itunes onto a friends brand new windows 7 computer.  Did all windows updates (all manditory ones) and then installed quicktime, then itunes.  When you click on itunes nothing happens, you get about 1/2 a second of the spinning circle and then nothing.
    Holding ctrl/shift you get the message about starting in safe mode, then after hitting OK it goes away and nothing happens.
    In task manager once you click it you can see the processes come up, but nothing ever comes on the screen/leads you to believe it is started. 
    After all of this I tried pulling the partition and once again reinstalling vanilla windows 7, no luck.  Uninstalled everything that says apple on it and did a full windows update, reinstalled itunes, same thing.
    I am at a total loss.  Tried installing it on my personal PC and it goes perfectly, starts right up.

    i have this problem
    Itunes is a total joke

  • Zire 72s will not sync with Vista Home Premium

    Hi, I tried to sync my Zire 72 with my PC and it wont work ....I am pretty bad with computers, so if anyone could help me (in simple terms please). I have no clue what I'm doing. Thanks  
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    To check to see if your computer is Bluetooth ready, a bluetooth icon will appear in the system tray or you can check for a bluetooth application in your control panel.
    If you are unable to locate any bluetooth functions on your computer, you may want to contact your orignal manufacture of the computer to confirm. If you do not have bluetooth built into the computer you can still get the computer bluetooth enabled. To do this will require the purchase of a Bluetooth dongle. These dongles can be purchased at your local electronics stores (usually) or can be ordered on the web.
    The Bluetooth dongle will connect to your computer via USB and allow bluetooth communication between your handheld and the computer. This will be the only way to sync your Zire to 64 bit Vista. All you need to do is pair your device with the bluetooth dongle then initial the hotsync from your device. You may need to try plugging the dongle into different USB ports if connection issues occur. For further information and instructions please visit kb.palm.com and look up article number 49229 in the solution id search field.

  • InDesign CS5 will not start Windows XP Pro

    Error message

    Error Signature
    AppName: indesign.exe AppVer: 7.0.3.535 ModName: objectmodel.dll
    ModVer: 7.0.3.535 Offset: 0001625c
    My Indesign was working fine until about 3 weeks ago when it started crashing when exporting a pdf. For one day last week that seemed to resolve itself, then just yesterday I cannot open the program at all.
    I am going to check conflicts, any advice?

    Start by replacing your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
    If that doewsn't work, try a System Restore to a point before the crash (probably won't work), and then a "Repair" from the original installer. If nothing works, it's time to uninstall and reinstall.

  • Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

    Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

    Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
    Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
    Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
    Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
    (I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

  • 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?
