Localized string not found & menu will not display in Vista

I have had an issue since late version 3 on my Vista Home Premium PC, when I installed a new copy and started seeing no menu, and the bookmarks and right-clicks respond with "Localized string not found..."
I have tried the cleanup in a previous message in this forum - to delete the safari folders c:\users\xxx\appdata\Local\ - once I reinstall the current version, I have the same issue. I see the previous query was closed, or I would have replied to that.
I am testing software for a web-based application, and we support Safari, so this is pretty important that we solve this - though I would be happy as a clam to drop support for Safari on the PC - that likely isn't going to happen. I have had no such issues on my G4 running OSX 10.4.

Thanks!
Okay ... I suspect that one of the en.lproj folders (English language resource files) for your Safari or your Apple Application Support has been blown up. So we'll try swapping out both your Safari and your Apple Application Support, taking a few other explicit precautions along the way, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
First download and save a copy of the SafariSetup.exe (installer file) from the Apple Website. Don't run the install online and don't start the install from the SafariSetup.exe just yet.
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Quit iTunes and/or QuickTime if you have them installed and running. (They both use Apple Application Support and can interefere with the Apple Application Support uninstall if you have them running.
Now head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel. Uninstall safari. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
(If you get any error messages during the uninstalls, halt proceedings and post back to let us know what they say. Precise text, please.)
Next, we'll clear away any leftover program folders and files.
Go "Start > Computer".
In "Computer", open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Right-click on the "Safari" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your recycle bin and restart the PC. (If iTunes is installed on the PC, you'll probably receive a message at this stage saying that iTunes will not run because Apple Application Support is missing. Click through the message.)
(If you get any error messages during the program files/folders deletions, halt proceedings and post back to let us know what they say. Precise text, please.)
After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now shut down all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the Safari reinstall by doubleclicking the SafariSetup.exe you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did the reinstall go through okay? If so, do you have your Safari right-click contextual menus back again?

How to fix Safari 5.1 Preferences and Extensions from displaying "localized string not found"

I'm on a MacPro Dual Core, just recently upgraded to Lion but Since then Safari has been misbehaving.
First of all when I go into Safari Preferences in the Privacy section all that it shows is "Localized string not found" this shows up in all the button options of that section.
I also noticed the same problem, this time on the Preferences/Extensions secion when I installed the 1Password extension from Agile, which it's not working properly either, it actually displays the same "Localized string not found" copy in all of the items.
I'm following up on this issue with Agile but what makes me think that it's a Safari problem is the fact that this is also happening on the Privacy area of the Preferences even though I unistalled the 1Password extension.
Has anyone had similar issues, both with Lion's Safari 5.1 Preferences/Privacy or Extensions displaying "Localized string not found" or with 1Password not working properly?
Thanks in advance.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
For Lion: To see your Home library, hold down the Option key while selecting Go in the menu bar.
If deleting the .plist file didn't help, go to ~/Library/Safari/Extensions.
Move the Extensions.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try Safari.
Also, you may need to check the 1Password site for updates for Lion / Safari 5.1 compatbility. Apple is not responsible for updating third party software.

5.0 won't work - extensions message is "localized string not found". When I force it to try to load a new window it shows a gray screen with the bookmarks on top then immediately closes and wants to report the error. Has been this way since 5.0 came out.

I first tried downloading Safari when the 5.0 update came out last year. When I choose the app in the dock, I get the blue top bar (Safari, File, etc) but nothing else loads. I uninstalled the app and tried again several times, but no success. For over a year now I've used Firefox as a result. Today I thought I'd try again, but same results. When I choose "new window" in the file menu, I get a small gray window with my bookmarks on top, then in a few seconds, the app quits unexpectedly and the report an error screen appears. I've unchecked all the languages in the information area for the app, cleared all history, cookies, and cache. Still the extensions tab in the preferences area has "LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND" in 4 places. It won't show what that means when I click the "?". Will I ever be able to use Safari again?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
-> Profile in use
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use]
Check and tell if its working.

The "Localized String not Found" thing..

has cropped up on my system. I have searched the forum and have read the K Tilfords post on the subject. I was going to reply to that thread but it has been locked.
Anyway, in that post it states:
"Normally the problem is very specific, within the WebKit.framework. The System>Library>Frameworks>WebKit.framework>Versions>A>Resources folder should have the folder English.lproj, but it's probably missing. If the English.lproj folder is present, then the Localizable.strings file within it is missing."
However, when I checked my system, the English.lproj folder is present. And, within English.lproj that Localizable.strings file is present as well.
Yet, I have the "Localized String Not Found" issue.
Thanks for reading. Help!

No responses, so I'll update where things are.
After reading more in the forums, I decided to trash Safari and reinstall. So, I got rid of all things Safari, repaired permissions and restarted. Inserted my Tiger Install CD to do a Custom Install for the Safari app only but I get hung up on "Select Destination", before even reaching Custom Install.
It tells me since I have Tiger install, I need to modify my destination.
Any help or ideas appreciated.
Thanks

Safari 6.0.5 extention preferences says 'LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND'

I am running Safari 6.0.5 and recently my extentions stopped working. When I went to the preferences to see what was wrong all that comes up is this.
I have tried web searching it and not a lot has come up. Most tell me to reinstall safari but I don't know if I can because 1. I cant delete/uninstall safari (I've already tried) and 2. I cant reinstall it because its not online to download and I don't believe I have the startup disc anymore! Please help

Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.
Don't use so-called "utilities" that delete language files.

F8Pro - local variables not displayed in debugger - flashlocalvars.zip (0/1)

Im not sure if this is me doing something stupid but I have
been
playing round with classes and noticed that in the debugger,
the local
variables are no longer displayed in the debugger after
returning from
a custom class get method. I have managed to work round this
behaviour for a while but Im now stuck.
I have posted a sample flash file with actionscript and
sample class
at
http://www.zerofiveone.com/flashlocalvars.zip
which displays
this behaviour everytime. View the testscript.as file for
info on
where to place your breakpoints.
If someone could put my out of my misery and let me know if I
am doing
something wrong I would apprecaite it.
If im not doing anything wrong is there a workaround?
Any help would really....really be greatly appreciated as Im
stuck
trying to work a fairly complex bug from some of my
actionscript and
this is causing me many headaches.
Cheers,
Tom

Its a known problem then :(
This has been round for a long while, annoying really.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

               // consolidationSheetRequest.getSelectedReportInformation(),
               // P4UReportInformation.class, tableAlias, tableAlias);

POJOResultSetHelper pojoHelper = new POJOResultSetHelper(
                         P4UReportInformation.class);
               pojoHelper.setMemberColumnDisplaySize("CustomerWelcomeDetail",

               pojoHelper.setMemberColumnDisplaySize(
                         "CustomerDisclaimerDetail", 1024);
Removed "get" from setMemberColumnDisplaySize("CustomerWelcomeDetail"..
This solved my issue.

Static Text Not Displaying in Vista on modem connection

I'm very new to Flash. I set up a swf movie on the index page
of
http://www.chicagowoodturners.com
which has apparently been working fine. I've seen it on a number of
different computers and OSs. Yesterday I saw it on a freshly
installed Vista machine, and all the static text was invisible.
Dynamic text appeared fine. Colors are websafe #663300 and #cc00ff.
It was connected by modem, which is the other difference from the
working versions I've seen. The font is Eras Bold ITC. Any guidance
is welcome!

Word 2007 file not displaying from CHM file link

Hello all! I took the time to search around the forum before posting this, so I hope I didn't miss the answer somewhere.
I'm using RH 8, working on a Policy and Procedure manual, resulting in a CHM file. I've worked in earlier versions of RH with the same issues as everyone else (network deployment is a no-no, etc.), but this is the first time that I've had an issue with a linked-to Word file (linked as a "Link To File" link from within the project).
When navigating through the CHM file on a local drive, and upon clicking on a link to a Word file, I get this warning dialog box:
If you were to click "Open", you get a few-second delay (as if Word were opening), but then nothing happens. The Word file does not open. I believe the issue is with Office 2007. I tested this exact same CHM file on a PC running an older version of Office, and the Word file opens without issue.
Has anyone seen this type of behavior? Is there a RH 8-based solution?
Thanks for any help you can give!
Bob

Try Word Repair Toolbox, it's open source and may get your info back
http://www.word.repairtoolbox.com/
As free method to get your word documents back:
Word may have automatically saved your file.When you start Word the next time, if any AutoRecover files were found, results will be displayed in the Document Recovery pane. Auto recovery option for word 2007 are below:
1 Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
2 In the Navigation Pane, click Save.
3 In the AutoRecover file location box, note the path, and then click Cancel.
4 Close Word.
5 Open the folder that you noted in step 3.
6 Look for files whose names end in .asd (AutoRecover files).
7 If you find the Word document that you are looking for, double-click it to open it.
8 Save it immediately.

Ads are not displaying properly in Safari, v 4.0.5

I am having an odd problem with display ads from our local newspaper not displaying properly on my Mac Pro in Safari. I suspect that the issue might be related to having had some AdBlock app on my system a few months ago. I removed the app and some ads display, but others are just a white block with nothing inside. Is there any way to figure out why the content doesn't load?
The website is http://www.echopress.com
The ads I'm having issues with are the 300x250 ads in the right 3rd column, located directly below the weather info and above the "marketplace" ads.
Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?
Thanks,
Grady
Oh, why do I wanna see em in the first place? I'm an advertiser on the site and would like to see my own ads load occasionally.

Hey ho, Grady!
I can see all the ads on the right,
with the exception of the very top (first) box
which has the header of "Weather Alerts).
It's blank, and I'm assuming you have no alerts at the present.
All the rest of the paid for ads show.
So, what I would do is clear my Safari cache, history, and
in Preferences>Security, clear all the cookies from that site.
Hope this helps.
If you need more info just holler.
Let us know how you're doing, OK?

HT1199 Menu bar will not display time

My menu wsuddenly no longer displys time and other things on the top right of the menu bar. I have gone in and reset time and even locked it but still does not display time and is then unlocked when I return to try again.
Help!

Hello Riley,
Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
Move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences>com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost>com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
Reboot.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).
