Upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with error: CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.

upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with this error in a popup: ''CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.''
when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.

visit this and find the compatible version of this f***ing firebug. which certainly has nothing to do with us (not-programmers). i have been having this problem for months but now the last link worked for my firefox 6. Find yours here.

New Installation Failing w/Error: The update could not be found.

On a new 2008 R2 server (Standard), using the Add Roles Wizard, I tried adding WSUS but it fails with "The update cound not be found. There may be a network connection issue. Click here for more information."
Clicking there takes me to the "Resolving WSUS issues" pages with refereces to Microsoft. The first is the most relevent:
"If you receive the message “The update could not be found. There may be a network connection issue.” when you try to install WSUS, refer to the information in the Network and Sharing Center Troubleshooting Guide."
Clicking on the link to the "Network and Sharing Center Troubleshooting Guide http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140135" takes me there (so there are no connectivity issues) but nothing seems to apply to my issue. I can browse the internet just fine and have even went in and manually installed various required components like IIS, .NET Framework 3.5.1, and Windows Internal Database but still no luck. I even downloaded the file "WSUS30-KB972455-x64" and tried running that without success. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

To install WSUS as a role, the candidate server must either have an active Internet connection to obtain the WSUS installation package from Microsoft Update, or be configured to update from an existing WSUS server with the WSUS3SP2 Dynamic Installer package already approved. If the R2 server is configured to use WSUS and the WSUS3SP2 Dynamic Installer package is not approved for installation for the group(s) in which the R2 server is a member, then you may also encounter this situation.

That's hard to say. Running the installer should not have presented any issues, but then you've not shared the exact details of that particular failure, which almost certainly would have been different from the previous failures encountered using Server Manager. Of course, successfully running the installer presumes that the server has been properly prepared and prerequisites have been properly installed and configured. I would be concerned that you don't seem to have referenced and followed the explicit instructions documented in either the Step By Step Guide or the Deployment Guide, so this is a high probability source of the cause. (Note: .NET Framework 3.5.1 is NOT a required component, the Windows Internal Database does not require manual installation for WSUS, and if IIS7 is not properly configured with the exact requirements for WSUS, the installation will fail.)Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP:EA, MCDBA, MCSA

On new install of FF, loading gives 'The update could not be installed.'

When updating a previous version, I got the 'The update could not be installed' error.
I uninstalled FF and then installed FF v35.
Still have the issue. I looked and found problems with the parent.lock file - deleted any I could find. Same problem, error on restart
I found a note about cleaning out the old updates after an install. I dug around and found one at: c:\Users\smann\AppData\Local\Mozilla\updates. I cleaned it out and, low and behold, no error!
Then, I went into Help/About Firefox and checked for further updates.
The problem has returned.
What gives? How do I get FF to not complain. It appears to be working okay, but, it makes you wonder.

It does, if you go to about:firefox and check the update log, are there any successful updates noted here?

Could not open firefox and tried to update newer version but could not with error msg "can not create temp folder archive"

Tried to run firefox as usual but the the page could not connect the server. Thus, uninstalled the browser and tried to install a newer version. Could not run the program and error msg "can not create temp folder archive" popped up.

"System Update could not start properly" - New error just started (WinXP SP3)

I can no longer run System Update; it displays the splash screen, then a small window pops up with the above error message. I just ran it last a day or two ago, and it installed a few things; since then I have also run Microsoft Update and it also installed a few things, which I backed out one at a time (except for the malicious software removal updates)--all to no avail. Anyone else seen this, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello,
I have reinstalled the system update after I did clean and download the last version from Lenovo website but still have the same pop up message says: Syystem Update could not start properly.
what's wrong??????

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

Error Message on Mac Installation of Studio 8 "Flash Player" could not be launched

When I try to install Studio 8 on a new MacBook with Mac OS/X software, I get the following error message:
"Flash Player" could not be launched because of a shared library error <Flash Carbon Player>
Please help me get past this. Thanks.

What version of Mac OS X? Be aware that Studio 8 is quite old and may not be supported on later versions of Mac OS X. In fact the reference to <Flash Carbon Player> suggests this, as Carbon is being deprecated (it was a way to bridge the old pre-mac os x codebases and bring them over to Mac OS X). It may be time to upgrade/update your software.

Hi,
I suggest uninstalling the printer drivers from your HP printer. The go to System Preferences> Printer & Fax and in the printer list box go ahead and reset the printing system. Do that by right clicking over the printer list box ad the option should appear. After that close system preferences and reinstall your printer drivers from the HP CD. After installation check if your printer works as expected, if it does, stop here and ignore the rest of the message.
If you don't have the install CDs for the printer or the previous step does not work; connect your printer to your Mac via USB and then again go to system preferences. Open the Print & Fax menu and in the printer list box you should see a "+" sign. Click on it, and a new window should appear with a list of printers that are available to you. If that's the case, go ahead click your printer name and wait for the computer to look in the Apple servers for the drivers. When searching is finished click the "install" button. This process will open software update and install the neccesary drivers.
After that, you should be able to scan documents with the Preview App.

Hope this helps!

An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates
*Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
*Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. Do not remove personal data when uninstalling.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer wont open "DirectX is installed but could not be initialized. Reboot your system and relaunch Organizer"

All of a sudden, I go to open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and get this message in a box:
"DirectX is installed, but could not be initialized. Please reboot your system and relaunch Organizer."
Using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Office 2010 Home and Student on a Dell T3500 workstation with 3.20Ghz Xeon Processor, 12 GB Ram and a 2GB EVGA 650ti Boost graphics card.
The only thing I can think of since the last time I used PSE10 Organizer was the October, 2014 Windows updates were installed.
Any ideas anyone, Adobe seems fairly silent on this issue, and there is not much info out there on this for a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system.
Please help.

All Windows OS updates installed, all Norton Internet Security updated daily.
Went to Microsoft to try downloading DirectX just in case that was the problem, and they say you already have the newest version.
Still receive the same message. I'm at a loss, not sure what to do.

The update could not be verified.

Ok this time I hope someone answers instead of just viewing. I have tried numerous lookups, asked questions at various Apple forums.
I cannot download a Software Up date without getting:
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
I cannot get anything, updates, new apps, or the new OS to download without getting (Mac App Store)

Really helps to tell us what you have tried that didn't work. We have no way of knowing...
Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall.
Disable any anti virus software you may have installed before downloading apps.

Flash player could not be registered.

I see I have the same problem as many others in that the flash player 10.1 update could not register. I have XP sp3 with all the latest updates, IE8, AVG free 9, Spybot S&D, I use the windows firewall. After the first failed install I uninstalled AVG and Spybot and turned off the firewall, set all IE options to what troubleshooting said to. Ran ccleaner and set it so nothing would load at start up and did a restart.   I still get the same error "could not be registered". Just for S&G I uninstalled all other adobe items and tried again, no good. I reinstalled all other adobe items with no problem and they all seem to be working fine except for the flash player. Any help would be great Thank you Chris

The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
Hope this helps you.
