QuickTime does not start on Windows 7. Error 2093.

I am unable to launch QuickTime on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, I get a "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093" error message. This is particularly disturbing since for some odd reason iTunes seems to require QuickTime and I need iTunes to sync my iPod (nice set of dependencies).
Anyhow, I've been getting this error since upgrading from Vista to 7; I've uninstalled both apps completely (though the problem seems to be exclusive to QuickTime) and reinstalled a lot of times. Oddly enough, from time to time a reinstall works, iTunes launches and I get to change my music, but that lasts until a reboot where it stops working again, and now I'm there; further reinstalls haven't been able to make it work again and I'm growing more and more frustrated.
I've read that the problem could be a missing quicktime.qts (or something like that) in the system32 folder of Windows, but I checked and it's there.
Between reinstalls I've also cleaned my registry for stray QuickTime info on it, but to no effect.
I am desperately in need of help; my iPod is pretty useless without iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

I am getting the error message you show. Ie. Entry point etc. in Windows Vista.
Okay. Go "Start > Computer". In Computer, go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View tab". Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked. Okay out of the tab.
You next step depends on whether or not you've got a 32-bit or a 64-bit Vista.
*If you're 32-bit:* Open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. When you find the QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop. Does QuickTime launch properly now?
*If you're 64-bit:*
First, open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Second, open the C:\Windows\sysWOW64\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Once you've cleared System32 and SysWOW84 of any copies of QTCF.dll, does QuickTime launch properly now?

PE 9 does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

No matter how I try to start PE 9, it does not start.
From Welcome Screen -> New Project: nothing happens. Form Elements Organizer -> File - New - Premiere Elements Video project it takes some time loading all modules, libraries and sorts of things until an error message appears saying that PE 9 does not function anymore.
That's all, no error log or something like this. Please let me know what info is needed.
PS: Why does my cursor jump to the beginning when I press enter in text editor here?

Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various
parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle...
this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video
editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows
(or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on
drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in
the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the
type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208?tstart=0 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433?tstart=0 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but
eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual
disclaimers

A lot of sites suggest to uninstall Intel Bluetooth drive but I does not have Intel Bluetooth.

Go to your computer manufacturer’s website and update all driver packages for your computer, especially:
Audio drivers
Bluetooth drivers
System chipset drivers
webcam drivers
Important Note:
If you use office 64 bit, Lync 2013 must be 64 bit also. {And vice versa, If you use office 32 bit, Lync 2013 must be 32 bit}
Also check answer of Eric to fix this issue

SAP Web Dispatcher does not start as windows service

Hi,
I have successfully installed and configured SAP Web Dispatcher. When I start the web dispatcher from command prompt, it works fine. I created a windows service for web dispatcher using the command
ntscmgr install sapwebdisp -b "c:\program files\sap\sapwebdisp\sapwebdisp.exe"
-p "service pf=sapwebdisp.pfl -cleanup -auto_restart"
The command successfully created sapwebdisp service. The service also starts fine, but web dispatcher does not get started.
Any ideas experts?

Hi,
Ok. Few suggestions.
1. Can you review the SAP note:
552286 Troubleshooting for the SAP Web Dispatcher
2. When you said: "web dispatcher does not get started ", what error you got ? Can you be more details here ?
3. Please check the trace file dev_webdisp" that generated in the work directory. If the log entries is not abvious, increase the trace level to 2 or 3, and reproduce and re-check the trace file.
4. What is the output of the command "sapwebdisp -v"
5. How about sapwebdisp.pfl ? Are those settings correct ?
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vincent

Photoshop CS5 and CS6 does not start. Windows 7

I am using Photoshop CS5 as well as CS6, 64-bit on Windows 7. Since the last few days, I noticed that Photoshop would take a very long time to start (earlier it used to start within few seconds). Today, I found that both the Photoshop versions do not start at all. Nothing happens when I click the short-cut on the Task Bar. Neither do they start through the Start Menu. Why does this happen and what is the solution?

Have you tried using the task manager to see if Photoshop is hung and look at your windows reliability history to see if Photoshop CS5 an CS6 are crashing?

Hi
It seems to be a Toshiba US notebook series and therefore the recovery process might be different as on Toshiba European notebooks
However, the recovery procedure should be mention in user manual. Check this
Try firstly this:
Power up the unit and press F8.
Then choose Safe Mode and try to boot the Windows in safe mode.
If it does not work, try Repair the Computer option.
I think the notebook should be equipped with HDD recovery. This means that you could recover the unit without the usage of the recovery disk.
As mentioned this is US notebook series and as far as I know you have to press 0 button immediately after the notebook has been powered up.
This should start the recovery

Skype does NOT start with Windows Anymore (start S...

My Skype NO LONGER starts with Windows anymore!!! I HAVE to manually open Skype!!! I cheked the options and "start Skype with Windows" IS checked!!! I tried unchecking the option and rechecking it, made no difference!!! how do I fix??

Just because Skype isn't starting up automatically doesn't mean it isn't trying. Other applications you have loading at startup could be slowing down Skype's ability to start. You can run msconfig ( Start - Run (Wink key + R) - "msconfig". Under the startup tab you can see if Skype is set to start or not. You can also uncheck everything else but Skype and see if it comes up them. If it does, using a process of elimination you should be able to determine the application causing the probelm. If you do not see anything for Skype you can use the registry files provided to toggle that feature on/off just as the Skype program attempts to.

J2EE does not start anymore : shell service error

Our J2EE 640 SP16 doesn't come up anymore.

10 G installation does not start on Windows 2000 SP 4

Machine configuration:
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
496 MB RAM
120 GB HDD
The temp folder log shows that all installer requirements are met.
Still the OUI window does not show up. Any ideas?

Hi Viking
First things first. Here are some things to consider:
1. If using Windows 2000, you need to be using Windows 2000 Professional with SP4.
2. You should not have any other Oracle software running during this install.
3. You also not have ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN or any of the other Oracle environment variables set.
4. You need to be a local administrator on the machine.
5. You should not have a firewall enabled.
6. You need to have a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) set for the machine.
7. The FQDN should be set in the HOSTS file which you can find in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
8. You need to check the certification matrix for 10.1.3.2.0 and make sure it is available for Windows 2000 and that there are no other prerequisites?
Does any of this help?
Regards
Michael

Firefox does not start in Windows Vista. It can be seen in the task manager that the process is running. But nothing happens. After deleting the process it still does not work.

Are there any issues with Firefox 10 and Vista? IE works.

Hi webero,
There are no Known Issues that I am aware of. You should take a look at [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] and our article called [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-not-start Firefox will not start].
Hopefully this helps!

VC does not start on Windows 2003

Hi,
I have applied the note 804496 (registry changes + IIS changes, etc.) which should enable VC to start on a Windows 2003 / IIS 6.0 system. But I still get the error :
"Fatal Error:
No Visual Composer Server was found at specified address
(Error reading server parameters in url:bin/gm1433030.asp)"
I also installed Adobe SVG 3.0 on the server as some suggested in another thread.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David,
I had a similiar problem but have now got it working.
There are two other things to try:
1) check note 772559 which contains the Visual composer Analyzer. This will test and fix any problems it finds.
2) Look at the Visual composer installation guide which was released this week. It seems to have some extra configration steps which aren't included in OSS note 804496. the path is https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/instguides ->NW04->Installations->SAP VC.
In my case I originally succeeded in installing VC6.0sp2, which worked. Upon re-booting it no longer woked and gave the same error as yours now does. I eventually ran the unistaller (which hangs, so you have to keep trashing it until it is completely uninstalled). And the re-installing it. And fingers crossed it has worked successfully ever since.
Hope that was some help

IPhoto does not start but gives an error message

As soon as I start the iPhoto this messages shows up:
I actually do not know what I did wrong previously with iPhoto. Any help appreciated
Ueli

Sorry, that the error message did not show up. I copied the error message from a screenshot (cmd-shift-4) into my post but now only a question mark can be seen. Sorry.
I am now at a different computer. But the error message said that the iTunes Library is locked or on a locked drive and at hitting the ok button the error message and iTunes closes.
I checked already the harddrive (get info window) regarding that there is a permission missing. But that was ok. The user was allowed to read and write.
I checked the iPhoto Library (get info window) trying to find there a missing permission but everything was ok.
I really do not know that cause.

Reader 8.1.3 installer does not start on Windows 2003 x64

Hello,
i use Windows Server 2003 SP2 as 64 Bit edition on AMD and have installed Reader 8.1.2 successfully. Now i tried to install 8.1.3, which is the most recent of the 8th series i found, and fail because the installer simply does nothing! It starts up and then nothing happens. I've downloaded the EXE several times directly from Adobe with the same result.
What can i do?

Sorry, i still don't get why 8.1.2 runs perfectly (and yes, there is a 64bit support for Windows 2003 Server!) and 8.1.3 did not even start. That makes no sense to me.
And because i want do deploy 8.1.3 even update is no alternative for me.
