Can you run Firefox long enough to display the Add-ons page? Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Remove also is available for some extensions, but not the ones that Firefox found in a registry scan or shared folder elsewhere on your system.)
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
If you cannot access the Add-ons page, try starting Firefox in Safe Mode, since that deactivates extensions and hopefully will stop that message from coming up long enough to get to the Add-ons page.
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Success?

Help "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
I have windows XP with service pack 2 installed and downloaded iTunes from the apple website, when i click on the iTunes icon on the desk top or from the itunes folder it will not open, I get the following error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" then gives you the option to send error report or don't send. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and it keeps doing the same thing. Anybody know what I need to do to get it to work???
Hi -
I apologize for waiting a couple of days to post - I got sidetracked. Anyway, my "fix" involved a lot of trial and error and stumbling around in the dark, but it does seem to have worked so far. Hopefully I can put together a coherent enough sequence of events to help you out.
Preface: While you're doing these steps, disable your antiviral/spyware programs just to make sure that's eliminated as a source of problems.
1) Using the Add/Remove Programs function, uninstall ITunes, Quicktime and any IPod software.
2) Download the Windows Installer Cleaup utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Install this on your computer. As I understand it, this is basically a program that goes one level deeper to remove software from your computer. Once it's installed, open it and use it to remove anything involving ITunes, Quicktime and IPod.
3) Unfortunately, you still probably haven't removed all the problem traces of Quicktime from your computer. To edit your registry, select "Run" from the Start menu and type "regedit" or "regedt32" in the box. A window should open with the registry editor. There will be a really long list of files on the left side. Scroll down about 2/3 of the way and you'll see a series of folders with "Quicktime" in the name. Right-click on each of these and select "delete." Do the same for "ITunes" and "IPod" folders in this alphabetical list.
Not done yet.
Under the "Edit" menu, select "Find." Do a search on "Quicktime" - unfortunately there is no "find all" function. So the first file with "Quicktime" will come up; right-click and delete it. Press F3 to find another file and delete - repeat until you've gotten rid of all the Quicktime files. Then search on "ITunes" and do the same process; finally do the same for "IPod." This will take some time.
**Warning: Be very careful not to accidentally delete files not marked with Quicktime, IPod or ITunes. Messing around with the registry is serious stuff that a non-computer expert such as myself should probably not be doing .
4) Finally, once you've gotten rid of everything Quicktime, ITunes or IPod-related, download the latest versions of Quicktime and ITunes (separately). Install Quicktime first, then install ITunes.
Note: You have to have adminstrator access on your computer to edit the registry.
Hope this helps...

I'm using a PC to convert pagemaker files to PDF to send to the newspaper printer exactly as I have done for years. Suddenly Acrobat distiller will not let me create the pdf. Can anyone help me?@@
I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

My itunes wont work. it says that it has encountered a problem and needs to close.
i tryed uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it always says the same thing. reallllllly need help
Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead. -
I apologize if this issue has already been handled in others' posts; I just can't locate my specific issue, and I'm a newbie with this.
I first encountered the Windows crash shown in subject yesterday when trying to sync my Blackberry. Message is displayed after the program churns for awhile, but hasn't even detected a remote device or shown that it is doing any work.
I vaguely recall agreeing to an update a few days back. Perhaps Windows has updated recently as well?
I have uninstalled and installed most recent Desktop version several times, rebooting in between. I have tried installing original version as well - Desktop at least starts then, but bombs before syncing anything. I also have rolled back my Windows system to before last Windows update.
Here is the error message that I believe is associated with this problem:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.Bold 9650 running on Windows XP
I finally solved my problem with blackberry desktop manager 6.0.1 by going bck to 6.0 version and here is how I did it, since the 6.0 version is not available on blackberry's website or on a disk and I have spent over 30 hours with BB tech support all to no avail in fixing 6.0.1 and enabling it to open.
1) Removed any Blackberry desktop software from my computer via the add/remove program in the control panel. No need to deal with a clean uninstall in terms of registry cleaner, etc.
2) Installed 6.0 which i was lucky enough to have backed up the intallation files from several months ago when I backed up my entire system to an external drive.
3) Opened BB desktop mananager and connected my device and configured my sysn with outlook and all worked out.
If anyone needs BB Desktop Manager 6.0 to go back to a version that once worked for you, please let me know and I will email it to you via yousendit.com since it is a 95mb file.

3. Reboot.
4. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your User ID>>\Application Data\Apple Computer\
5. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your User ID>>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer
6. Delete if in your My Documents folder there is a folder called My Music with a folder in it called iTunes. Delete or rename the iTunes folder.
7. Reboot.
8. Turn off all anti virus and firewall software.
9. Re-install iTuens.
If you still get an error after that your Windows install is hosed. You will need to format and re-install it first. -

After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work. This just started; before it was working fine. Help?

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
