MExplorer.dll is missing & pc companion will not launch

Norton Internet Security has upgraded itself to what I expect is a Windows 10 compatible program (NIS was flagged up by the W10 updater initially as incompatible and then Norton kept advising in pop ups it would get an update to fix that issue)...Yesterday a new NIS installed itself - flagging up some old ISP software as incompatible and removing it and warning of no othr software or any problems found on install. (The new NIS looks like a renamed "Norton Security" with the software name of the NIS product it replaced) However on the first reboot of the pc, "MExplorer.dll is missing" and PC Companion is dead - suggests reloading the Sony software Is this linked to the update and will MExplorer keep getting corrupted?

I have done since and it fixed it... via an install/repair... but i was worried it would do it again, especially as other things like Skype lost its icon graphic... Norton said Removing an item from the QuarantineYou can configure Norton 360 to remove a security risk from your computer. You can use the Restore option to remove the security risk and places it in the Security History Quarantine. Some programs may rely on the security risk item that you quarantine to function. In this case, you can restore the security risk to regain the functionality of a program that requires the risk program to run.The Restore option is only available for the security risks that are manually quarantined.To remove an item from the QuarantineIn the Security History window, in the Quarantine view, select the item that you want to remove.Click Restore & Options.In the Threat Detected window, click Restore.This option is available for the security risks that are manually quarantined.In the Quarantine Restore window, click Yes.Click Close. and guess what.... that quarantine is full of things from the install including this sony used dll...now im going through the other 20+ quarantined items to see if i can find what they relate to... some look like "cloud" related so im expecting them to be amazon or WD based... not happy with norton at all.

When opening iTunes I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times - nothing! help please.

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Why after Downloading iTunes update it wiped out library and will not launch?

Just downloaded the latest update for iTunes, now Itunes will not launch, and looked in Windows Explorer and saw all the artist but songs folder was empty. Restored comp to earlier date but still have same problem

"C:\Windows\system32\softpub.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the softpub.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:

QuickTime will not launch

QuickTime will not launch on my computer. I click on the QuickTime icon on the button bar and it just won't open. The colorful little circle just spins forever. I have to force quit every time. I've reinstalled it from the internet download and same condition. The computer is new - 1 month old with all the necessary updates that have come through software updater. Is there something I'm missing or a quick fix out there? Clicking on downloaded wma and wmv's same scenario.

Ok, let's say I opened Apple page, and went to QuickTime. There are many trairols and ads there, but when I try to play any of them, I see a dimmed Q logo with a quistion mark inside it in the place where QuickTime should play!!!
Is there a missing plug in?, I downloaded and re-installed QuickTime several times now, but with same results. Any clue?
BTW, when I right click any ad, or trailor, I found that I can download the file on disktop, and then play it normally.

QuickTime 7.55.90.70 will not launch properly

iTunes 8.0.1.11 / QuickTime 7.55.90.70
Dell Dimension 4600, Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz w/1MB cache, 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 333MHz, Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1, Service Pack 3
I've been successfully running iTunes and QuickTime on this system for over a year. I often use QuickTime to watch iTunes Store-purchased videos when I'm offline.
The problem started yesterday evening.
When I launch QuickTime, the window flashes open for a split-second and closes. The program button still appears in the toolbar; however, everything but Move, Mininize and Close are greyed out.
I tried the following fixes. All have failed.
1. Ran Windows System Restore to point before problem occurred.
2. Ran Repair QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
3. Uninstalled QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
4. Downloaded QuickTime from Apple website and installed. QuickTime would still not run and iTunes stopped working, with error message that QuickTime was missing.
5. Uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime from Control Panel.
6. Downloaded QuickTime + iTunes from Apple website and reinstalled.
7. Deleted all QuickTime preferences files (I found four).
8. Re-entered registration number for QuickTime. (I upgraded to QuickTime Pro earlier this year.)
iTunes is now working normally but QuickTime still will not launch properly.
It's possible that yesterday I launched iTunes while QuickTime was running; it's the only thing I can think of that might have created this problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds as if you have more of a problem than I did. I'm not an expert and I'm hesitant to make suggestions that might make the problem worse.
In the meantime, I do recommend that you back up all of your iTunes music before you do anything else, and get into the habit of backing up on a regular basis.
Then you might want to try this: completely uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime (using Revo, unless you know how to clean up the registry on your own). Then reinstall both programs (available at the link I posted earlier) and see if that takes care of the problem.
If this doesn't work, I suggest you start your own thread describing the problem and asking for help. Hopefully an Apple rep -- or at least someone more experienced than I am -- can help you.
Sorry I can't be more useful, and good luck.

Photoshop Elements 4 will not launch

I have installed Photoshop Elements 4 on my MacBook. Photoshop Elements 4 is a PowerPC app. (not Universal). From what I've read, it should open with Rosetta. But every time I try to open it, I get an error message: "The application Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly." I've uninstalled and installed several times.
I've tried going to File>Get Info so see if I could make this PowerPC app open under Rosetta, but that choice is not available under "General".
Is there any way I can use this non-universal program in my intel-based Mac?
I guess what I'm really asking is whether Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac (PowerPC) is supported by Rosetta (since it's not a universal application). If it's not supported, I suppose that means I can't use it on my intel-based MacBook.
Thanks for the help.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Barbara---
I have had PE 4.0 running on my MacBook Pro 17" for about a year. Two days ago I tried launching PE 4.0 like normal and it fails. On the advice of Apple I tried creating a new account. The error message on install says a file is missing. It does not say which file. Installation continues until completed but PE 4.0 will not launch. I also trashed absolutely every Adobe file I could find, including preferences, repaired permissions, etc., reinstalled PE 4.0. Still no joy. I am running 10.4.9 with the last update about two weeks ago. PE 4.0 would lanuch and run fine until two days ago. Any suggestions?
Thanks...

IChat will not launch from my brand new iMac - What do i need to do?

Just purchased a brand new iMac 24". Really nice machine except that iChat will not launch. I click on the icon but it just bounces once and does nothing. Any ideas what i need to do please?

Hi deano68,
Very odd.
OK I think we have at least one app that has not installed properly.
It could also be that a Font is missing. Certain Apple Apps will not launch if Helvetica is not active in the Font Book.
There are two ways to reinstall the Application.
Both are listed here in Ryan's FAQ.
Both methods require that you download the Combo Install and run that as well.
This catches all the iChat Updates that come with OS updates so that iChat and the OS are at the same level.
You might want to try the Combo Update on it's own first before the Reinstall as it often sorts things.
The link in the FAQ to downloads may not work now since the Apple Site has been reorganised.
They are now here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/
