After i used system restore, firefox wont open

Tonight i had to use system restore and restored my computer to early this morning. Everything else works, i can connect to the internet if i use IE, but when i goto click on Firefox Icon it won' do anything now.

After you have tried to open FF, is the process firefox.exe running? you can check that in task manager. If it is, you are not the only one experiencing this problem see thread;

Firefox 4 could not be made to show bookmarks on Vista 64bit. I used system restore to get back to older version. Now Firefox won't open at all even after undoing system restore

I use Vista 64 bit. Was fine with older Version of Firefox (3.6, I believe). Upgraded to Ver. 4. Couldn't access extensive bookmarks file or bookmarks toolbar. Tried all the Firefox help recs and they didn't work. Clicking the top button would give list of toolbars but when I tried to move to bookmarks toolbar the menu changed. Tried going thru tools and options and that didn't work. So decided to use System Restore to get old Firefox version back. Icons remained but program wouldn't open. Tried many ways, including start menu. Old version is still on program control file but only option is to uninstall. So went back to System Restore to get Vers. 4 back and it's not there. What to do?? I can use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I want all my 100's of bookmarks back. Thank you.

Win 7 x64 - Need to repair a single driver, but can't use System Restore

Basic Info - an HP/Compaq Elite 8200 Convewrtible Minitower with 2 extra SATA drives & a Creative SoundBlaster card installed.
Background: My system had begun going into Blue Screen (BS hereafter) every couple of days with a message that the BIOS was not "fully ACPI compliant." I contaced HP and was able to obtain & install the needed BIOS upgrade. Following this, I decided to do some housekeeping & checked for out-of-date drivers. I installed these one at a time, as I had a previous bad experience with updating too many drivers, particularly Intel chipset drivers, at a single time. When I finished the last update, which involved two drivers labeled IntStrA and IntStrB, if I recall correctly (I'm posting this from my PC at work, so I may have the names off by a character or so) my system began going BS after ~10 minutes or so. Nearly every BS referenced the MicroSoft system driver wdf01000.sys.
It is my belief that either wdf01000.sys became corrupted, or the last 2 updates were having a negative impact on the M S driver. Unfortunately, if I try to use System Restore to roll back the suspect updates, the system will BS ~1-2 minutes after the m essage "Restore is initializing" appears.
The only solution I can get from the HP Tech is to back up my data and then use the "Erase, Reformat & Reinstall" function from the Recovery Disks. Unfortunately, with a system that goes B S every 10 minutes, it is impossible to perform a reliable back-up for all 3 disks, while the Recovery Disk is only willing to back up my drive F:\, not my primary OS Drive, C:\ or my other drive, G:\ (the HP Recovery partition is drive D:\).
My questions are:
1. If the problem is a corrupted WDF01000.sys is it possible to obtain a reliable copy of & replace it? (The HP tech warned about the danger of obtaining a copy of a MicroSoft sysem file from the internet - a danger of which I was fully aware - but, isn't there at least one system in HP's possession running Windows 7 x64 professional? I should think a file supplied from HP would be sufficiently safe. However, when I raise the possibility with the tech, there is no response.)
2. If the problem stems from the last 2 Intel driver updates, is there a way to get a functional OS loaded from DVD that would peremit System Restore to run? My last system had Win 7 installed from MS media and, as I recall, once loaded, the use of System Restore was one of the repair options. The HP Recolvery disks only offer 2 choices - back-up (which would only cover drive F:\, with <10% of my 4+ years worth of data) or "Erase, Reformat & Reinstall." Following this course would put at risk ~90% of my data, not to mention the grief of reinstalling a great deal of software.
3. The HP tech tells me that, since Recovery is only willing to back up drive F:\, this is where the Recovered OS would be installed. This would give me the independently loaded OS I sought in question 2. However, I greatly fear that drive where recovery operated would be my primary OS drive, C:\. If this were the case, the result would be disastrous! I do have back-up via Carbonite, but I don't think this has been operating properly since the ACPI-related BSs began.
So -- any suggestions? Anything that gets me out of this problem without loss of data will be most sincerely appreciated!

Hello TomF,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that after running some updates your system is getting BSOD errors associated with the Windows file wdf01000.sys. Now I cannot claim to be able to get you a copy of that file. I am not sure just replacing it would resolve your issue anyways. I can do this for you I can tell you that first the HP Compaq 8200 Elite Convertible Minitower PC is a commercial product. You can do this at you may get more assistance by posting this on the commercial forums at Business PCs - Compaq, Elite, Pro.
Additionally, I would suggest you start your computer in Safe Mode and using an elevated command prompt run the command "SFC /SCANNOW". You can do this by right-clicking on the Command Prompt link and choosing Run as adminstator. Also, you can use chkdsk to run another repair on your files to see if they can be repaired.
The SFC /SCANNOW command will run the System File Checker to see if it can repair any corrupted system files where the chkdsk will do the same, but for ALL the files on your computer.
I am also providing you with resources on both below:

Losing I-tune purchased songs AFTER using "system restore"

I beg someone to help me. I will get to the point asap, but please be patient with my ramblings since the problem eventually gets to I-tunes.
1-I constantly get this message when launchig yahoo messenger or watching DVD on computer or wanting to listen to my I-tunes purchased/downloaded songs" "The computer's audio output is already in use by another application". Sometimes, I get a message which states that my audio configutation is not correct. This just happened recently. ANYWAY.
2-I decided to do system restore....and restored my system to an earlier version. THIS WAS great.....my audio configuration went back to normal. NOW, THE MAIN POINT:
3-After doing a system restore...I totally lose my I-tunes registration. Even though I restored back to an earlier time...I should still BE able to log back into my i-tunes and store and EXPECT to find my songs. But..boom the songs are gone..it is as if I-tunes never recognized me as a user/purchaser. AND yes, I restored my computer to an earlier time BEFORE I purchased songs from I-tunes. But I do not see how this can be an issue..since....I have alread purchased the songs..and I-tunes or Apple.com has me in their system.
So, my need is: getting my songs back, even though I did a system restore to an earlier date. Yes, I can use system restore again and go back to my recent restore point when I had I-tunes and I can find my songs..but....then...MY AUDIO configuration problem exits, again.
sorry for rambling.
Any help...would be be more than appreciated.
thank you

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password

How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password, when I just Backed it up on 10/30/14

It requires a password to restore from it because at some point, you checked the box in iTunes to use encrypted backups, at which point you were prompted for, and set a password.
If you now can't remember what that was, then you can not restore from that backup.

Cannot use system restore and cant connect to internet?

I have a 1 month old Satellite - L455d-s5976....was working fine, really liked it until today...In the middle of checking email the laptop shutoff on its own, then when I turned it back on I cannot connect to interenet via internet explorer...whats odd though is it does "connect" I presume becuase it was able to update the wireless adapter driver when I tried it... No matter what I do, I cannot get to any internet sites, yet it shows Im connected to my network etc.... So, I tried to use system restore multiple times...every time it says it cant complete becuase i may have virus software blocking a file etc...but I dont have any virus software??? Just windows firewall, and I tried disabling thta too...Help please!!!! I bought this laptop mainly for internet use...amazing its broke in one month!

Have you tried resetting your router and modem?
I have seen many cases where simply resetting the wireless router and modem have fixed the issue. Try that and then restart the laptop.

Key board not working at startup. Have to use system restore.

The only way to get the keyboard working on start-up is by using system restore. Unplugging and reinstalling just brings up a cannot install message. I have tried uninstalling in the device manager and reinstalling in a different usb port but to no avail. The system restore is no big deal but every time I do it I have to download all my norton updates.
Model HP Pavilion HPE with Hp keyboard Windows 7

Hello again errola,
Thank you for providing your computer's information!
Since you have already attempted to connect a second keyboard with drivers installed, I recommend installing the Intel USB Controller Driver Update. This software package should help update the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, which your keyboard is attempting to connect to.
If the keyboard is still not able to function after installing the update, I suggest Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). This should help re-install drivers for the hardware and original programs that came with the computer. After this process is complete, please follow up with the HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) to update these drivers.
Should the issue persist after re-installing the original drivers for your computer, I recommend performing a backup and recovery of your Operating System. To do this, please follow this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7) as well as Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Reformatted disk but restore didn't work properly, had to reinstall system and now having major kext errors

Basically I had to reformat my hard drive, and in order to do that I copied all the files from it to a disk image which I then used to restore through disk utility.
Now this worked as far as individual files go, but the OS for some reason didn't copy properly. After restoring from the image, the machine started up with an infinite pinwheel and apple logo, not going anywhere, so I eventually just reinstalled snow leopard from the original installer. This is fine as far as the system itself goes, but I'm having some very annoying issues - for one, some things which I had registered have reverted to trial versions (probably just a question of moving some preference files from the backup which got overwritten, shouldn't be too hard) but far more seriously, a bunch of kext extensions aren't loading, including one which is needed to run my external wifi antenna (the internal one is banjaxed, won't connect to any network unless you're sitting beside the router at all times).
Here's the console log. Why are these kexts not working, when they worked perfectly before the reformat? Still struggling to understand why copying the entire root dir to a disk image and then restoring from that image did not, as expected, yield an identical system, and why I even had to reinstall after doing this. But more urgently, how do I get these extensions working again? Using airport isn't sustainable, I can't sit on the stairs every time I want to use the internet

As you can guess, Ralink USB Wireless Driver is the one I'm having trouble with, although the other error you see, BoomDevice, is one of the apps which had been registered but has reverted to trial. The errors in console made me think it was a permissions issue, but repairing permissions, despite taking half an hour and modifying tons of files, did not resolve this issue.
How do I fix this, and also out of interest, why did it happen in the first place? I imagined formatting and restoring would be far, far less complicated than this O_o
EDIT: Should point out that obviously going from 10.6.8, the reinstall reverted to 10.6, and I haven't been able to upgrade since I can't get this internet kext working. Shouldn't be a problem though since the wireless driver was for 10.6.x...

Still struggling to understand why copying the entire root dir to a disk image and then restoring from that image did not, as expected, yield an identical system, and why I even had to reinstall after doing this.
Because there is a lot more going on under the hood than merely copying files.
The only way to do what you want is to use cloning software like Carbon Copy Cloner.
My advice is to rescue your personal files to a regular non-TimeMachine external drive, Zero erase the ENTIRE drive and install OS X fresh and update, then your programs from original sources and files from backup.
Then, make a bootable clone and you can copy that as many times as you want and each one is bootable.

Had to use the restore CD HELP.

I had some issues that forced me to use the restore cd so I lost alot of stuff including my original I tunes account and all my music. Can't I just download I tunes again and log in with my same name and pull up the music that was in it??
If I can't then can I upload the music from my Ipod to Itunes???
Message was edited by: marinercoachkk

You can reinstall iTunes and access your store account, but you cannot simply log into iTunes and see all of your music. When songs are downloaded from the iTunes store they are stored as files on your computer's hard drive, so your library will not follow you from computer to computer.

After using system restore, can't reinstall firefox

I 'think' the problem was with Roboform. Using Firefox 7.0.2 my Roboform fill forms wasn't working properly after updating to a newer version so decided to roll back 24 hours using windows vista system restore. No luck. So thought that I could reinstall Firefox. Download went fine...when I ran the program, I got the following zev[zqz] flashing real fast with the crash screen saying Firefox has crashed send in a report and we'll get back to ya. Uninstalled..tried again. Same thing. Uninstalled EVERYTHING except personal data...Same thing. So installed IE 9 so at least I could come here and post...miss Firefox!!

Hello JMcIntee, # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# in the search area type '''College Shop''' and delete(with right-click) anything related.
then try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/ SearchReset] add-on, (the add-on resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself).
any luck ?
thank you

On boot ATI Radeon HD 4200 drivers fail to load. To recover, must use System Restore

I have an HP Pavilion p6737f with Windows 7 64-bit. No error message. No changes to system.
When I boot the computer it comes up to a resolution of 800 x 600 which is the "rock bottom" of the spectrum for my computer. I check the device manager and it tells me that the driver - ATI Radeon HD 4200 failed to install on boot. In order to return to normal I have to do a "System Restore" to a time that I created. Otherwise, I can't use the higher graphic settings.

Hi Tom,
Reinstall the video driver using the HP Recovery Manager (drivers only). The driver on the hard drive may be corrupted and then Windows will use the default VGA driver.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
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.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Can I use system restore disks to re-image after a HDD replace?

G60 laptop with Win7 Home Premium 64. OEM HDD (250GB) died (thankfully, had all data backed up). Have had no other issues with this machine.
Purchased new HDD (320 GB) and installed with no problem. Booted with disk #1 of recovery set. Progressed to about 48% then displayed the following error: "Recovery Manager cannot restore your computer using factory image.
Please contact HP support. Error code: 0xe0ef000e"
Second attempt reached about 8%, then same error. Third attempt, 28% then same error again.
I have resored this same machine with these same disks previously a couple of times, and now it takes significanly longer to get to the 28% point.
Temporarily moved CD drive to another machine, and it reads disks just fine. Recovery disks appear to be in good condition (No scratches, fingerprints, etc.).
Could there be hardware ID that is preventing recovery from working? Orsomethint else.

Hi:
It is very hard to say why the disks aren't working, but it happens quite a bit.
If you purchased the disks from HP, see if making this CD patch and running that first helps.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-80183-1&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you made the disks yourself, or the patch didn't work on the factory HP disks, you have one other option if you can still read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook and that is to make your own W7 installation media.
Here's how...
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

System Restore --- Now where are those apps I bought that didn't sync?

Main story:
Today, I went to sync my lil IPhone and it asked me if I wanted to install a new update. Well, thinking that this update would help everything, and make it faster, I accepted. When all is downloaded and it is half way into the install, I get an error without a number saying that "in order to connect to ITunes," I would need to do a complete Restore, without even syncing my IPhone to my computer.
((Went to the IStore nearest me, and they got the restore fixed))
However, here is the Main Problem:
I bought $$ some apps that show up on my history in my main account on apple... but I do not have these programs. I bet they are floating somewhere... but I rather need them and don't have a clue on getting them back after I restored my 3G to a nothing.
Funny thing is, the IPhone, mine at least, is less than 1 month old.
Thank you for the help,
Syl

I haven't had this problem, but sometimes there were apps I purchased and wanted them when I had no access to my computer. So I tried one and it gave a popup message saying "You have already purchased this item. To download it again for free, select ok" Now I cannot recall if they were synced to my computer before I did that, but you would figure when you buy apps you use the password so there is a record of on your account somewhere. Plus you should get emails saying you bought them, so you do own a copy of the app. If you can try a free one if you had any and see if it gives the same message, if it does then you should be able to download them again and get that message.
