I get error box THot2nd Window; message is cannot open powrprof.dll. system crashes

I have a Toshiba Tecra running XP professional Service Pack 3.
I was using Firefox and now have Chrome just installed. Problem occurs with both.
I routinely use GFI Viper - deep scan clear
Yesterday I installed MS Security Essentials - clear
I down loaded MS safety Scanner - clear
What happens - After 1-2 hrs running the system makes the 'somethings wrong' sound and the THot2nd Window with the powrprof.dll.......message appears. This happens repeatedly . There is a box that says the system has crashed and the program will be terminated. As I try to close these boxes more appear until there is a Unresponsive Program box appears and I click end now. Then when I click Start to shut down I am prompted to log off [which I dont usually see]. Either clicking logoff or cancel or x-ing out has no effect. Eventually the system restarts.

   Faulting Driver: win32.sys
Did the blue screen occur during a shutdown?
Please attach the corresponding *.dmp file from the C:\Windows\Minidump folder.
You've done lots of things you did not report to us. Among them, you did this one wrong. So let's start here.
I did as instructed re sfc.exe and there was a momentary small black screen then it disappeared.
So run sfc /scannow properly, which is at the command prompt.

  • I can get to website home pages but when I try to get to a logon screen, I get error msg "URL is not valid cannot open"

    I cannot access certain pages such as facebook, yahoo, my bank. I sometimes get as far as their home page, but when required to say, go to mail... I get the url msg described above. Same thing when I try to login to online banking. Facebook I cannot login whatsoever. These are just 3 different sites I've tried so far.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your 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]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your 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")

  • I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • When computer boots I get error box stating "The procedure entry point _NSConcreteStackBlock could not be located in the dynamic link libray CoreFoundation.dll".  I have removed iTunes and all of it's components several times and re-loaded programs.

    When I boot my computer I get error box stating "The procedure entry point _NSConcreteStackBlock could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.  I have completely removed iTunes and related programs and reinstalled them several times.  Doesn't fix the issue.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    You should have one copy of CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support or C:\Program Files (x68)\Common Files\Apple Application Support if this is a 64-bit Windows.
    The detailed file properties should be as shown.
    If the file you have is correct check to see if there is another copy in the main iTunes folder. If so delete it and see if that helps.
    Otherwise try uninstalling/deleting folders/reinstalling iTunes again. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details. Your issue looks a bit like it might be a variation of the issue in the first box.
    Also worth checking that you have uninstalled the MobileMe control panel and any third party software that might try to talk to iTunes.

    Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

  • While installing itunes i am getting error "this installation package could not be opened.verify that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the appliacation vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    While installing itunes i am getting error "this installation package could not be opened.verify that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the appliacation vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail and cannot recieve or send mail to or from iCloud account apart from Apple emails!! Please help!

    Since approx 7am GMT I've been getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail, worse though, since about 12 noon I cannot recieve or send mail to or from my iCloud account apart from I've been getting  emails from Apple (ie I've just received a welcome one from Apple Support Communities...)!! I've had this account for years, never had a problem - it can't be the OSX Mail server because the problem is the same when I log directly into iCloud. I've tried sending emails from my Hotmail account to my iCloud account (a .mac) and just get undeliverable messages back. I'm really in the s**t now at work. : (  I just set up a Smart TV yesterday with a wireless dongle - that's the only thing I've done out of the ordinary. I've spoken to Sky who are my ISP and they say all's fine with them (although the router kept kicking my off the internet this morning which was strange...). Router seems fine now though.  I'm really hoping someone here can help!!
    Many thanks!!

    Do you think once Apple sort this out I'll get my missing emails back?

    I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

    It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Getting a Dashboard quit window message...

    Hello all.
    I have started to add some widgets to Dashboard, all downloaded from Apple's site, but I will state that not all the widgets in their own site have stated that they are Leopard 10.5 compatible. I've also added two 'Web Clip' widget from my local websites, one is a company's share price and the other the local petrol/gas price.
    Sometimes upon the 2nd or 3rd time reactivating Dashboard, I notice the widgets have "frozen"... I know this because one of the widgets I downloaded was "fan" and the fans (of the mac's internal fan speed etc) has stopped turning...
    *Anyway, so I exit Dashboard and return to the Desktop, and not long, I would get this pop-up window message:*
    +(Yellow Exclamation Point) The application DashboardClient quit unexpectedly.+
    +Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.+
    +Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple (Ignore/Report... Buttons)+
    So I send the report anyway thought Apple could use all the information.
    I bet this has something to do with the "frozen" widgets inside Dashboard... maybe it's one of the widgets or not, I am not sure.
    Thanks and cheers

    hi,
    i'm getting the same thing (so i figured i'd add to this post), but all i did was run the most recent software update and my dashboard started "unexpectedly quitting" on me. i didn't add any new widgets or change anything in it. it's annoying and a little unnerving. i'm wondering if it'll cause system instability later on. any advise would be much appreciated.
    thanks a bunch!
