Getting this error "couldn't load XP COM". HOW do I fix it? thanks.
Ok. Have seen a lot of posts on this issue. Uninstalling doesn't seem to be an answer. I don't want to fool around with registry and create more problems. How do I fix this problem? Thank you.
This usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

When trying to stream video I am getting this error message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (st) isn't associated with any program." How do I fix this?Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...

I just became a Photoshop CCmember today. I don't know what to do about this error message: 3D features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system. Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue.
What are your hardware specs? How much vRAM do you have? (Note: System RAM and Video RAM are two different things)

Hi,
Does this also happen in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If so, you will need to do a complete reinstall of Firefox. A visual demonstration on how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_C2eaNj234 however please keep in mind that before you do this, make a back up of the profile folder [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] -
I keep getting this message when browsing the net. How do I fix this?
The page “::: video :::” has content of an unspecified MIME type. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I find this message on many websites, usually when video is concerned. I have no problems with my PC but with my MacBook, I find that I cannot view many images or videos. I am a newbie and would like to know what "plug-in" I need and how do I "plug-in"? Please help. This is extremely frustrating.Go to www.macupdate.com and download Flip4Mac and Windows Media Player for Mac. With these installed, you should be able to see most videos on most websites. Oh - and you can get flash player there too while you're at it.

Opensonic FATAL ERROR: couldn't load spritesheet
Hi All,
I'm trying to get the Opensonic game running for my son, it was built from AUR and when I try to run it I get "FATAL ERROR: couldn't load spritesheet "images/spring_pads.png". The website says:
- Installation instructions:
Copy & paste (overwrite if needed) all the folders/archives to your opensurge directory.
But I don't know where the directories are or where they should be copied to.
Can anyone help?
ThanksThanks very much for your reply. I found the image /usr/share/opensonic/images/spring_pads.png and I put it in /usr/share/opensonic but the error message remains. Again, the website says to: Copy & paste (overwrite if needed) all the folders/archives to your opensurge directory, but I don't see an opensurge directory. I'm pretty inexperienced at this so maybe someone can spot a simple oversight. Here is the output of pacman -Ql opensonic:

I get the error "unable to load data class info from sync services" and eventully itunes freezes. will this article help me?
Hello there brigidfromca.
Messages can always be pretty daunting when we're not sure where to start. I was able to locate the following Knowledge Base article that discusses the very message you're getting:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690
It is a pretty thorough document with multiple steps to review, but looks to be great place to start for a resolution for you.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities to reach out to us for answers.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
