Op Sys: Windows 2000; will not load recent update to 4.0 Moz Firefox Yahoo! Editions 1.8

Upon each opening firefox 4.0, a dialog box opens asking to install a critical update. Upon proceeding, the script runs but nothing happens. Is it may be a virus dumping data to offsite location?

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.
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.

  • Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing

    Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing. Never see browser panel at all. Also tried to install Firefox 9.0, but the same result was observed.

    Rather difficult to say what the problem may be at present but for general info please have a look at
    * [[safe mode]]
    *[[firefox will not start]]
    *[[firefox hangs]]
    Note sometimes you may have to wait a while for firefox to shutdown completly, and if it has hung then as explained in the above articles you may need to kill any firefox.exe process that is still running (and maybe plugincontainer.exe)
    Try starting firefox in [[safe mode]] e.g. by holding down shift key
    * do not make any changes in the first window, just click on continue<br/> ? Do you get as far as seeing the options window for safe mode ?
    If firefox is crashing see [[firefox crashes]], this is easier to work through if you can get firefox to start without crashing on startup. Currently some firefox users are finding Firefox 10 crashes on startup, and a new version Firefox 10.0.1 is being released very soon to deal with this and another cause of hangs.
    Not saying any of this applies to your case but recent issues include
    * ask tool bar causing hangs if video is used none English versions [/forums/contributors/708073]
    * possibly some crashes do not start the crash reporter and other issues [/forums/contributors/708122?page=2#post-45059]

  • Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    You turned off all firewall and antivirus ? You could try downloading the update via a browser - what device are your trying to download the update for ? If it's an iPhone 4 :
    GSM / sim card model
    CDMA model
    Then in iTunes press and hold the shift key on Windows when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file

  • ITunes 7.4 on Windows 2000 will not show songs in library

    I have a computer running Windows 2000 and iTunes 7.4 that will not load songs onto iTunes. The songs play fine in Windows Media and are MP3's with no DRM. The user drags the song folder onto iTunes library and everything appears to be fine but the music never appears. Have also tried loading music from the file menu but also with no success. User has uninstalled an reinstalled iTunes. MP3's are associated with the iTunes program. I'm at a loss.

    The minimum requirements for iTunes for Windows 7.4 are Windows XP or 32-bit editions of Windows Vista with Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later required for Apple TV. Windows 2000 is no longer supported though there are versions of iTunes 7 earlier than 7.4 that work with it: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • Windows XP, will not load past blue error screen

    Hi, been wondering for a while if anyone can help me...
    My xp system will not load past the blue error screen which appears after the computer has shut down suddenly or improperly.
    Regardless of what actions you choose to take (safe mode, most recent settings...etc) the system simply goes past the blue screen, onto the windows logo loading page, where the loading bar moves for around 10 seconds, before returning back to the blue loading page.
    So far I have tried leaving the computer for as long as a month unused whilst I was abroad, removing the battery for various amounts of time, and leaving the computer running for as long as a day.
    In the absence of a recovery disk, I have no idea how to get it back to form, and would welcome any hints or suggests, bearing in mind I am no computing genius (If you had'nt guessed). Preferably, without loosing my irreplacable pictures and videos stored on the hard drive, however that is only preferably,
    Thanks, Jay

    Hi Jay,
    i know what it's like to not able to boot even into safe mode command prompt.
    In your case I would do either of below:
    Download a bootable CD ISO called "HDD Regenerator" or [Hiren's BootCD|www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd] which includes many other great tools. Burn the ISO image onto CDR.
    1. Use the HDD Regenerator to boot the PC and use it to scan the whole HardDrive from 0, it will scan and fix all the bad sectors which may cause Windows failing to boot as systems files are corrupted. You will be suprise how great this tool can fix bad sector HDs.
    2. If above does not work, the the Hiren's BootCD to boot the PC, navigate to Symantec Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to Clone you hard drive, you can use USB external harddrives.
    Then you can rebuild the PC with second partition large enough to store the HardDisk-IMAGE, use Ghost Explorer/etc to restore your personal files.
    I have been dealing with lots of this issues as well. Let me know if you need more help.
    Good luck!

  • N97 windows live will not load as well as others p...

    well as listed above
    i,m having a real problem getting anything to load. just wondering if i,m the only one who,s getting this problem? & could do with someone,s help please.
    to start with windows messenger live will not load at all. the message i,m getting is
    (this application requires the network usage. please start again under network coverage.)
    the problem is i,ve got phone internet & wifi coverage so why is it coming out with this? any ideas
    also i cant get many of the games that was installed to work either. that message is after hanging for a long period of time.
    (you are currently in a no coverage area. please try again later)
    didnt know i had to have internet coverage to play these games..
    last of all the menu button light is constantly glowing on & off
    i,m with 3uk & cant get any help from them at all. even the latest firmware update is not allowed as yet on my phone. was told by them that if i got the latest firmware my phones warranty would be void.
    great service indeed.
    although the games are not important. messenger is & would appreciate any feed back please...
    many thanks Ray

    Ok I can tell you the solution to your problem.
    Windows Live MSN and SKYPE are free with 3 UK, which means that you can use them even if you are not paying for internet on your phone.
    The problem with this is that you can ONLY use them via 3 network.
    When you are at home your phone is probably defaulting to WIFI and the MSN and SKYPE will try than, so instead of getting a message "ERROR YOur should use 3"  the MSN jsut hangs and does nothing.  With the old firmware you had to uninstall Windows MSN and install it again in order ofr the MSN to work again. With the new one, once you are out of scope of your WIFI it works.
    So you have a few options to use a Messenger.
    1. Do not use your WIFI (turn it off, or whatever) and then you can use Windows LIVE MSN
    or 
    2. Because you probably like me are paying the £5 for internet, forget about Windows MSN and use a different that works with WIFI and 3.  A few of them are "PALRINGO", "EBUDDY", "FRING", etc.
    Is a pain but that's the reason, for some reason the phone can not handle having some apps like the browser, etc using the WIFI and a separate connexion with 3 for SKYPE and Windows LIVE MSN.
    Good luck let me know how it goes

  • Win 8.1 will not load after update from 8.0

    I have a M6-K010dx with win 8. Was fine for 2 years untill updated win 8.1. Now can not access nor recover or re-install win 8. Was purchased at Best Buy but was not given any software or keys. No keys on bottom. When trying to re-install system it says partistion is not there for use. I have tried to call Best Buy and they say I must buy new software and recovery disks. I have tried to boot from USB but will not do it. Have changed in bios for boot order. I do not have a USB DVD but cnan probably get one. If I DL ISO I will not have key to use.
    It would appear that as the screen flashes on and off that it may be a video driver problem but have no way of fixing if it is. Do not think I should have to buy new software as I paid for it at purchase and not sure if I did I could install from USB. Because of the lack of rercover partition not there I would think I was sold a defective system.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi @guaranteed , 
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Windows 8.1 not loading correctly after an update. Windows 8.1 is just an update and would not remove your partition.
    You can reinstall Windows 8 with any Windows 8 disk as long as it is the same version as yours. Windows 8 Home or Windows 8 Professional. It will install and update with no issues.
    You might want to look at this document on some different options.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows Vista will not load on Equium P300 16T ?

    Help!
    My daughter's P300 won't load windows after a CF flash memory card (containing just JPEG Images) was inserted in a USB port and withdrawn during start up.
    I get a windows error recovery page that says a recent hardware or software change is stopping windows loading.
    Two options are given 1. Launch repair 2. Start windows normally. Neither will launch windows.
    I can get the 'safe mode' screen when I press F8 at start up. When I try to start up in safe mode it just hangs after 10 seconds or so.
    I can get to the BIOS screen by pressing F12 and set to default configuration. Vista will still not load.
    I have lost the restore discs that were made on day one, and there is data on the hard drive that has not been backed up! So I am hoping there is an easy fix to this.

    Finally sorted it!
    I could not get on with WIN PE so resigned myself to losing data and doing a HDD reinstalL from the partition but could not access the HDD recovery option, I was stuffed!
    I called Toshiba to ask if replacement recovery discs could be obtained? They can and at £30 with upto 30 days delivery. The nice man at Toshiba sugested that I do A power reset. (Take out the battery, disconect power supply and hold in power button for 15 seconds). He also suggested that if I could borrow a retail Vista instalation disc I could use the repair windows feature on it.
    A power reset enabled me to start up in safe mode. A vista disc could not fix my problem but confirmed that there were corrupt files preventing start up.
    In safe mode I was still unable to do a system restore, because of the corrupt files.
    Safe mode did allow me to access and back up my data and create new recovery discs! So I was able to do a clean install having backed up my data - Bingo.
    Thanks for all your help on this guys, I hope my comments on this post will help others.

  • Will not load software updates with a warning

    Upon starting windows a box comes up that stes now loading mozilla updates, mozilla will resume ....then a window comes up that says it it downloading the update and that it is critical. Mozilla will start but the update download keeps running in the background and never connects. Unable to open the help link in this window.

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * 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.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Will not load after update

    I have an Imac DV with OS X 10.3. I turned it on the other day and after it loaded up, it said there were updates available. I had it install the updates and then when it tried to restart, it went through loading up until it got into the loading window part and then it stopped and will not go any farther. I have tried several times but it will not get past that part. I don't have any install discs. Anyone help? Thanks. Bob

    You're Welcome Bob!
    Without install discs, how, and when, did you upgrade to Panther 10.3.x?
    Was the iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 installed, before the upgrade?
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, is the most up to date OS.
    But, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, can be purchased, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

  • Safari will not load after update to 5.0.1

    Ever since I updated my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo, Leopard 10.5.8) all available software yesterday, including an update to Safari 5.0.1, nothing will load on Safari.
    It will get stuck in a perpetual load with the status bar not reaching further than the http://.
    I have tried EVERYTHING (well, it feels like everything) including totally uninstalling Safari and reinstalling. I've also deleted caches, reset every setting, checking that it's running in 32-bit, made sure it's not running with Rosetta, everything I could find on forums up to now.
    I have also tried reinstalling an older version and despite having deleted EVERY single Safari file from my computer, it keeps telling me that I have a newer version instaled so it won't downgrade (As an aside, that is RIDICULOUS, utterly ridiculous)
    Please please please help me as I need to use Safari and related programmes every day for work and this is making me very frustrated!

    Welcome to the forums!
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    • history.plist
    • lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
    Lastly, repair permissions.

  • HT5278 My iPad will not load the update.  Please help

    I am pretty sure I need to clear some memory in my iCloud account, but I do not know how, and am not sure that is the problem... Any help is greatly appreciated...
    Thank you.

    Did you delete the iCloud backup? Just remember that if you delete the backup, you will lose everything. You will be able to download your apps again but if you have photos in the camera roll you will lose them.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Manage Storage>Your iPad name (under backups)>Delete Backup. That should remove everything.
    If you do that, reboot the iPad when you are done and see if that helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    I'm still not sure as to exactly what you are trying to do. If you are using iTunes on your computer, why don't you just backup to iTunes and you will not have to worry about the space that you have in iCloud.
