Internet Explorer won't open since installing Creative softw

I was asked to look at a friend's PC because she is having trouble since installing the software that came with her Creative Zen MP3 player.
Whenever we tried to open Internet Explorer, Microsoft Frontpage opened with a message about installing softwatre (Frontpage extensions?) though I don't think she has Frontpage on her PC.
I managed to get it back to normal by the use of a System Restore but then the fault reappeared after reloading the Creative software and we had then lost that System Restore point (should have saved a new one!).
I did see something with a GOOGLE search which seemed to indicate that others had this problem but could not get the full details as the message had disappeared.
I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to get Internet Explorer back.

Internet Explorer is here.
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
What happens when you try to execute iexplore.exe from there?
If it doesn't appear to open, start Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc). On the Processes tab, sort them by name and see if iexplore.exe is listed.
If you've done Windows updates, you probably have v11.

Internet Explorer won't open anymore

We have the Boot camp installed and everything was fine. Suddenly when we try to open it, it says
internet explorer has encountered a problem...so with this problem we are unable to update our
virus protection. Anyone have any clue what to do?

Maybe you have a virus. I don't see how the two are related, you can't download 3rd party updates? Live update? Windows automatic update?
Your 'net connection is functioning?
Consider that you are in the position of having to supply details, a "troubleshooting" or "bug report" and that we aren't there or mind readers.
If you use Vista or Windows 7, Microsoft's own Security Essentials is free and does an excellent job.
If you can, I'd upgrade to Windows 7; IE8; and keep Firefox/Mozilla 3.5.x or later handy; and maybe Opera 10 as good alternative browsers.
Why or what are you opening? Boot Camp is just some drivers and services, plus a control panel to change default boot device (Apple OSSwitcher, Apple TimeServices, etc).
There are a lot of things but depends on what and why. Otherwise, maybe time to start over with a fresh install.
Then check the forums for the AV product, download in Mac OS, both Windows Firefox, and AV programs so you can scan and disinfect off line.

Mac Mail application won't open since installing Leopard

Hi Folks,
This is my first post - I have usually been able to locate the help I need just by searching through the discussions, but haven't found anything on this issue (hope I didn't miss it). Since installing Leopard on my MacBook (2 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 80 GB HD) I cannot open the email app. (Mac Mail). The error message I get is: "+you cannot use the application "mail" with this version of Mac OS X+". Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

If you had the Mail Application stored in any other directory (folder) than the root Applications Folder, you will get this error message because Leopard installs a new Mail Application in the Applications folder.
Delete your old Mail Application from its current locations, and from the dock, and run the newly installed Mail Application in the Applications Folder and you should be fine.
This is also true for several other Applications that are installed new in Leopard. I don't know them all, but you will when you run them and get the same error message.
Good luck. Hope this fixes your problem.

Compressor 4.1.3 won't open since installing Yosemite 10.10.1

Compressor 4.1.3 crashes since installing Yosemite 10.10.1 on MB Pro Retina 15" (late 2011).

Thanks for your suggestion Tom.
Before performing a clean install of Yosemite OS X 10.1.1, I decided to delete Compressor, Download it again from the App Store and reinstall.
That totally did the trick. It is not crashing on open anymore and is working perfectly once again.

Does anyone know why pages, numbers, iPhoto, keynote, etc won't open since installing lion?

It's iWork '09 which is the lastest version. iPhoto isn't working either but iMovie is, I'm so baffled and it's really frustrating. I've never had any problems at all with my mac. The crazy thing is, it's almost as though they are open but I can't see them? Is this possible? I thought it could have something to do with the multiple desktops that are available on Lion but I scrolled across and.... nothing.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

After doing some research I'm afraid that eventually you have to delete and reinstall iWork.
But I suggest, that you prior to such a drastic step check the following:
Have you installed the Lion upgrade to iWork 9.1?
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25548/apple-iwork
Corrupted fonts also can cause this behavior, so check the fonts by opening font book, click left on user and then in the menu bar on file -> validate
That will show up any problematic font. If there are red warnings, delet the font.

Safari won't open since I installed Firefox.

Safari won't open since I installed Firefox. I keep getting a window that asks me if I want to "Reopen" Safari in a large window that includes error messages, lots of them. I click on "Reopen" and a smaller window opens up with the same option to "Reopen", but Safari just goes back to the large window again; the one with all the error messages.

Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

IPhoto won't open since last update V9.5.1

My iPhoto won't open since the latest update (V9.5.1) was installed. I do not get any error message, the icon bounces a couple times and then nothing happens. I've tried the following solutions found in other forums:
-Using "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild library and repair iPhoto, did not work because "iPhoto failed to open"
-Removing the file iPhotoLock.data from Finder>Pictures>Right Click iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents, this also did nothing.
I can't find any other solution and I'm worried that I may lose my pictures (over 20GB of pics).
Is someone else having similar issues?

You don't always have a good current backup? Without one you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - things do fail - Time Machine is included on yur Mac - use it - you eed a large external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - once set up it is automatic and will save you when things go South
For now all you need is a copy of the iPhoto library
I stated in my original message that I have the most current version of iPhoto, iPhoto '11 V9.5.1. Is there a way to reverse the update because I had no problems with it until the update was done automatically.
Yes - but since things are not wroking ti is important to verify facts - not work on assumptions
No - you can not "undo the update" easily but you can fix things

Internet Explorer 11 not opening iframes after KB3032359 update

Basically: Internet Explorer 11 not opening iframes(src is same program folder) after KB3032359 update. (Chrome or Firefox opens all iframes)
We have web solution on Windows 2008 .NET 4 version, wroten C# (Visual Studio 10). Program has left side menu (Panels, menu items have link button, link buttons onclick methods in .cs file. Onclick methods change center iframe source location. ( frm_center.Attributes.Add("src",
"page2.aspx") )
Microsoft publish some updates 11.03.2015 date. One update is (MS15-018 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (3032359) - Critical - Remote Code Execution) for IE11 security fixes. Including one fix for iframe freaks.
After installed this update (Windows 7 Professional 64 bit) IE11 opening our web solution site, after login everything is ok (head section, left menu, center iframe are correct), but when clicking some item in left menu, iframe is not changing source location.
(1 day ago IE is ok, no problem).
Have idea for this iframe problem ?

We have noticed similar change in behavior with KB3032359.
Here is one such scenario where it is broken starting with this patch. It looks like plugins are no longer able to access various javascript objects when in compatibility mode.
Two things to start with:
1. The site is in compatibility mode
2. The Adobe SVG plugin is installed and being used.
The actual issue is in an much more complicated application that must be run in compatability mode with the Adobe SVG Plugin.
But here is the issue boiled down:
=================== test.html
===================
<HTML>
<script>
document.write('<frameset cols="50%,50%,0">');
document.write(' <frame id="test1" name="test1" src="javascript:false">');
document.write(' <frame id="test2" name="test2" src="javascript:false">');
document.write('</frameset>');
d = new Date() ;
window.frames['test2'].location ="test2.html?" + d;
</script>
</HTML>
=================== test1.html ===================
<body
bgcolor=green>
Expected test1
</body>
=================== test2.html ===================
<script>
function notify(evt){
alert(evt.target.id + " should now change frame 1 to test1.html") ;
parent.frames.test1.location.href = "test1.html" ;
</script>
<body
bgcolor="000077"
text="FFFFFF">
<embed
src="test2.svg"
width="100%"></embed>
test 2, has a SVG that calls back to this page, and causes frame 1 to change to test1.html
</body>
=================== test2.svg ===================
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100%" height="100%">
<ellipse onclick="parent.notify(evt)" id="svgOval"

Ichat won't open since new hd installation? help.

ichat won't open since new hd installation? help.
since installing a bigger hd my ichat won't open. the shortcut is still there and when i click it it bounces in the toolbar a few times then dissapears. i have tried to delete and re-install but i cannot delete it.
im on osx version 10.8.3, on a macbook pro.
please help, thank you

HI,
I feel there is slightly more to this story.
Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) does not have iChat.
It has Messages which is iChat+ as it has had iMessages added to it.
(I think that a Mountain Lion Upgrade is part of the picture.)
This suggests you Changed the Hard Drive and either Installed or cloned the OS on to the (new) Drive.
At this point you may have migrated your Mac User Account from different computer or the old Hard Drive.
If you were Migrating apps from an old drive or computer then it is technically possible to "install" iChat in the Applications Folder but it will not work.
Each version of iChat has to "Match" the OS it is on.
Broadly speaking that is iChat 4 is in Leopard (OS X 10.5.x) and iChat 5 is in Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x)
In fact it goes deeper than this in that incremental updates in the OS include (sometimes) the updates to iChat.
This means that by OS X 10.5.8 at the end of the Leopard Updates iChat is at version 4.0.9
Snow Leopard gets to OS X 10.6.8 but iChat 5 only gets to version 5.0.3 at this point.
Open your Applications Folder.
Does this contain iChat, Messages or in fact Both ?
If you then highlight and then use CMD and i keys (Get Info) what version information do the app(s) display ?
The Messages App should not be put inside any other folder.
I have seen where people have created "Messaging" folders putting MSN, Skype and Messages or iChat in the same folder to "tidy" the Applications folder.
This can mess up updates.
In fact if you have done this the DOCK item may point to something that did not get Updated to Mountain Lion.

My Kodak AiO 3250 won't print since installing OS X Yosemite.

My Kodak AiO 3250 won't print since installing OS X Yosemite. I get error message on printer, "An unexpected error occurred. Check for problem at the printer a ..." Dialogue box ran out of space, couldn't determine the whole message. I've contacted Kodak, no response so far. Any other suggestions?

Hi guys,
This is not Apple's fault. Kodak is the one responsible for updating drivers for their new printers and from what I have heard Kodak is pulling out of the printer business and are behind on updating their drivers. This video on how to install a new printer might help and explains how sometimes old drivers can still work if you don't use air print.

I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox. I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux. It definitely is more responsive. Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago. FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

I have Firefox version 3.6.22 (Mac) & keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.
