Running Windows 7 64 bit, sophos av, firefox 13.0.1 cannot download some add-ons.
The operating environment is summaarised in the question. Particularly I cannot download and install the add-on Forecastfox(and one or two others). Using the install option I get a message saying "There was an error downloading forecastfox weather".
If I go to the website http://www.getforecastfox.com/ and try to download from there I get a connection error on addons.mozilla.com.
As this seems to be inconsistent this could be a temporary network download error. You can also try adjusting the settings in Sophos and Zone Alarm that could possibly interfere with the downloaded file integrity. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

I think the programming intricacies wouldn't matter as most extensions doesn't contain binary components and can be easily unpacked and read by security software. Problems may occur if the security software is doing the scanning while the file is being downloaded and then repackages it on the system, as this would change the file integrity hash.

I keep updating my firefox whenever it prompts me to, and now I am using version 3.6.12, but I still cannot download any add-ons or have problem using youtube cause they still says I am using a older version of the browser.
But when I go Help > About Mozilla Firefox, I am sure I have the latest version and no more updates can be found.You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.12 to Firefox/2.0.0.13
You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page:
* general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.13 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
Filter: general.useragent<br />
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.<br />
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Addons -> Extensions
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
You should update the [[Java]] plugin (Java Plug-in 1.6.0_12) to the latest version (6 U22).

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.
Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?
I would buy nothing less than Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
32-bit only addresses 3.5 GB RAM ... 2012 Macminis can hold 16 GB.
64-bit Home addresses 16 GB RAM.
64-bit Pro addresses 192 GB RAM and han an XP mode.
This is all about having a good version of Windows for future use. Yu can buy "Syem Builder" version of 64-bit Pro for $140. -

Hi LarBar,
Like Cyber_Defend_Team said, we need more information to help you analyze your issue.
Did your KB2952664 Windows Update fail to install? Any errors?
Have you tried this troubleshooting method?
Troubleshoot problems with installing updates
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates#1TC=windows-7
In addition, go to Windows update then click on View update history then click on Installed updates,
search for the failed kb number and double click on it and it will prompt to uninstall. Uninstall then
reboot and go back to Windows update and click Check for updates it should come up and re
download and install.

I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting
I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting - is there anything in preferences I can change?
The clipboard error means that the OS or some other application messed up when placing data on the clipboard.
The reboot to open files means that something has gone wrong at the OS level (otherwise just relaunching Photoshop would work). We've heard from a few other users with that problem, but never heard back from them what was wrong with their system to cause that behavior. My guess is a bad driver or malware. -
I am thinking of buying an Officejet 7610. I am running Windows 7 'x64 bit'.
I am thinking of buying an Officejet x64. I am running Windows 7 'x64 bit'. In the specifications it is stated that the maximum sheet size is 44" (1.01 metres) with Apple Computers, but only 19x13 " with Windows; why is there this difference, and can it be overcome in ANY way please?
I know that the program is old, however it was expensive to buy and I am really familiar with how it works, so that's why I would like to be able to do the cross over.
I don't work for Adobe but I can respond to a couple of your questions with certainty:
There is no upgrade (or crossgrade) path from Photoshop 7 Win to Photoshop 7 for Mac. That window closed many years ago.
Photoshop 7.0 will not run on modern Intel-based Macs. It was written for old PowerPC based Macs and the code will not run on Intel chips without Rosetta which is no longer available in current OS X operating systems.

I have a PC running windows 7, 64 bit operating system which we upgraded from windows XP 32 bit. I can't download my photoshop elements which I bought as a download onto this 64 bit because it says it's for a 32 bit system
Hi claire.winteringham,
If you have a 64 bit machine then there shouldn't be any problem while installing any 32-bit software.
Try to download it with the below mentioned link :

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
