System will not start login Window

I have a 10.4.5 workstation that will not start the login window.
It comes up very quickly with the box/progress bar that shows the starting services. Then it goes to the blue screen with the spinning wheel. It will the get a beachball that goes to a useable mouse, but there is only lots of blue real estate. Login window never comes up.
I have done the following in the order listed:
disk utility
fsck
repaired permissions
renamed com.apple.loginwindow.plist
replaced the netinfo DB
each reboot only produces the same screen with a cursor and nothing else.

I had a similar looking problem on not one but two laptops after upgrading to 10.4.7 (which incorporates several Security Updates) from various lower Tiger versions. In my case, booting to single user mode showed loginwindow continually falling over & being restarted.
They wouldn't boot from CD or external firewire drives.
I eventually got them back up by booting in firewire target mode & applying the 10.4.7 Combo updater.

Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
After setting up the setting up the system.
I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
-I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
-enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

I just "upgraded"????? to Lightroom CC, now it will not start on Windows 7. can someone help me?

I had Lightroom 5 and the creative cloud photographer bundle. upgraded (some joke) to Lightroom CC and no lightroom will not start on Windows 7. just dead in the water. any help?

The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

System will not start

T60 will not start. While turning on and initiating system, it died suddenly. Even the battery light was not illuminated. Battery part# is FRU P/N 42T4504. Should the system still start with the AC adapter, even if battery has died? Are others having problems with this battery?

I had a similar problem, it ended up being much less of an issue than I originally thought.
THis was my problem, maybe its similar to yours.
When doing any type of CPU or GPU intensive work, such as video encoding, or even playing a flash application with lots of things going on, it would jsut die. Lights out, not even the battery or charging lights would come on. Pressing the power button would do nothing either. I had to unplug, take the battery out, put it back in, wait about 10 mins then restart and pray for no BSOD.
I thought it was the power source, but since it was just shutting off randomly, (a symptom of an overheating GPU or CPU) I decided to clean out the fan first (I was out of warrenty).
If that sounds like your problem, I recommend you try the following. If it doesn't fix it, then you're out about $15 and a half-hour of your time. If your machine is out of warrenty, or if you don't want to wait a couple weeks for your laptop to return from the depot, definitely try this. Its cheaper then paying for repairs, and cheaper then getting an assessment of the problem.
Go to a computer parts store, bought a good tube of thermal paste (cost like $15) and some compressed air. Get the good stuff if you have a good processor. It works much better than the stock stuff.
First unplug your laptop, take the battery out, then Unscrew the Screws at the bottom that hold the palmrest, Keyboard down (they'll be marked) then the screws that hold the bezel (not marked).
Once those are off, draw a quick sketch of the inside components, and as you take screws out, label on your sketch the size/colour of the screw, so everything goes back in correctly.
Then, you'll need to take the top left speaker out, and two metal 'arms' that hold the Fan in place. The fan should then pop out. If there's another screw I'm forgetting about, take it out too.
On the fan, your CPU and GPU, there will be old thermal paste. With a lint-free cloth, with a bit of 70% rubbing alcohol, clean the paste off. Be sure to use something that won't leave residue. Things like TP, kleenex, etc are bad. Coffee Filters work pretty well.
Now with the compressed air, spray out the inside of your laptop, spray the fan out well, and anything else that looks dusty.
Now put a bit of the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU, and pop the fan unit back in place, screw it in immediately. Put the rest of the components back together, and while you're at it, take the time to blow out your keyboard, as I'm sure its full of dust, crumbs ,hair, and other fun stuff.
This would likely solve your problem for under $20. And best yet, you don't have to ship your laptop away for a few weeks.
In my case, I thought there were bigger problems. After cleaning/replacing the fan, I haven't had an issue at all, its been a few months. I can encode video, run graphically intensive programs/games, etc. without an issue. CPU/GPU temps don't get nearly as bad as they did.
Hope that helps your problem.

Very sorry I'm also not very tech savy with computers ... just trying to save time and money before I have to bring system to computer repair person .... Any help would be appreciated ....

Firefox version 3.5.16 will not start under Windows Vista and Windows 7 32bit

I have a Windows Vista computer that will not start any newer version of Firefox than 3.5.16. The process will run (as seen in the Task Manager) but do nothing.
I have since updated Windows to version 7 and the problem persists.
I have tried uninstalling Firefox and all Addons (flash-player, pdf-reader) and deleting all files (even user-specific ones).
Firefox can't be started in Profilemanger or safe-mode either.
Is there anything short of reinstalling windows I can try?

Solved it!
It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
How I fixed it:
* Download the latest Firefox
* Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
* Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
* Hit Finish
* Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
* Leave everything disabled
* You should now have a working Firefox!
Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

In XP Mode on Windows 7, after installing application as like I would normally on an actual XP system, application will not start in windows XP mode itself.

Just did a clean install of windows 7. I then downloaded windows XP mode and Windows Virtual Mode. Everything ran flawlessly and everything is updated. I needed to Install a program called Dentrix 10.5 which can only be installed on Windows
XP for numerous reasons and one including it needing to use Microsoft .NET 1.0. I installed this program on Windows XP Mode as I would as if I were installing it with a computer with windows XP. The Install of the program went fine and completed.
Still being in Windows XP Mode I wanted to see how it would run. I hit Start Menu, All Programs, Startup Programs, and clicked on the Dentrix Application. Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and
then went away without the application starting up at all. One thing that I'm thinking is why after I clicked Start Menu, All programs, is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs? Any Ideas how
to get the program to run? Like I said, I am trying to run the program in Windows XP Mode and not Windows 7 as I have found many Q's and A's on only how to do that. Also this is the second application which I downloaded and the first being Microsoft
Security Essentials so I know I don't have some virus from keeping from opening the Dentrix Application. Incase you are wondering the Microsoft Security Essentials opens and runs fine in Windows XP Mode. So Pretty Much My Main question is: Why
my application not starting up in Windows XP Mode? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and then went away without the application starting up at all.
A couple times a week I open Dentrix 11.0 in a virtual machine on Windows 7. I experience the same thing almost every time I open the VM. I must first get Windows to "reconnect" my network for me. Do this by opening Start | My Computer, and
double-click on the mapped network drive leading to the Dentrix data. After I can see the Dentrix data drive, Dentrix will be able to read it too and will open correctly.
In Dentrix, seeing nothing (or briefly seeing a hourglass and then seeing nothing) is a classic sign that either:
- The database files are marked as Read Only
- The program cannot access the data files (probably the folder it is pointed to does not contain any data).
- Or possibly the database path does not point to the right location where the data files are located
Open the folder where you installed the program files of Dentrix (probably c:\program files\dentrix\) and double-click to run EP.EXE. The database path will be revealed. You can "Browse" to the correct location, and "OK" through the dialog to
close them. Then try opening Dentrix again.
Should that not work, open Start | My Computer, and try to open the path (starting with the drive letter, then the folder structure you saw in EP.EXE).
By the way, if your path uses UNC (starting with two back-slashes and then the computer name of the server), you'll need to map a network drive and replace your path with a mapped drive path. (Map a drive in Start | My Computer | Tools | Map Network
Drive). Dentrix really doesn't like UNC paths.
Dentrix 10.5 can only be installed on Windows XP
Microsoft .NET 1.0
Just FYI, Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 is required only for the "Time Clock" feature of Dentrix. Windows 7 already has .NET Framework features up to version 3.5 built in, and Time Clock (in my experience) works great under Windows 7 without installing
.NET 1.0.
Have you tried installing directly in Windows 7? I have a specific reason why I don't (I have a newer version of Dentrix installed on my Win 7 machine, and use the VM to go back to an older database occasionally - so I can't mix two different program versions
on the same machine). If you were to try installing this program under Windows 7 directly, Dentrix will launch the Microsoft .NET Framework install after the Dentrix install is completed. Just cancel out at that point (Windows will probably give you an "incompatibility"
error message anyway before allowing the install to go through) and I believe you can run it under Windows 7. That might eliminate the networking-through-the-VM issue. So, if you have no other reason not to install Dentrix on your Windows 7 machine directly,
I'd try it. You might be surprised and if it works, you'd save yourself some headache with connecting the to network through the virual machine.
Is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?
During the installation, on the Select Program Folder screen, you must have clicked the "Startup" option under Existing Folders. By default, "Dentrix" will be typed into the box at the top. If you simply clicked Next, it would have gone
to the correct location. The screen is a little confusing, because something in the list will be highlighted by default, but what is typed into the box at the top will actually be used.

SQL Express 2008 R2 will not start on Windows 7 Home

Ok, This used to work, and then over night my system rebooted and now I cannot start SQL Express 2008 R2 after I have unistalled, and re-installed.   Cleared out the folders and the certificates, changed the Named Pipes configuration and all to
no avail.   Here is my log file.

Also, the link you provided is to Windows Vista, not Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I did look at the registry setting they said to look at in the link.
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named <var>SID</var>.bak.
Note <var>SID</var> is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The <var>SID</var>.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original profile
folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.
Exit Registry Editor.
Looking into my registry for my ProfilesList as mentioned. I have these items.
S-1-5-19 Folder with Default (Value not set), Flags (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000, ProfileImagePath (REG_EXPANDS_SZ) C:Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService, State (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000
S-1-5-20 Folder with Default (Value not set), Flags (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000, ProfileImagePath (REG_EXPANDS_SZ) C:Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService, State (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000
Then I have an item for each of my three accounts, Administrator, Martin Dahl, and mdahl, All admin Accounts, which has no sid.bak, but a Sid, so not sure how this link helps me either.   Still looking for assistance. Still not starting.

Bridge CS6 will not start in Windows 7

Bridge CS6 (both 32 and 64) don't start in Windows 7.
Bridge starts in Task Manager for a few seconds, but goes away. No errors, no logs.
I have tried all the suggestions I've found within the forums, including checking settings,, temp environment variables, deleting C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6 (including the directory itself), etc. No luck. Adding a new user, then using it to start Bridge worked great, but that is not really a solution. One added piece of info: Bridge did recreate the above directory before dying, although it remains empty. I haven't found any logfiles that might help understand how far it got. Is there a log file or a registry setting that will enable detailed logging to help diagnose this?
I managed to gather a temp xml file that has some info that might help. This file shows up for the few seconds when Bridge is running.

There is obviously something in my normal user's profile or environment that is getting in the way of startup. Yes, my normal user is an admin. You (Adobe) have the code and the startup can't be that convoluted. Someone should be able to walk the code, figure out what things are checked between creating the above directory and the next externally detectable step (like creating a file in this directory or logging something into a log file), then reply here with a list of specific things to check.
I got into a chat with Adobe support several days ago, where I went through several steps of ensuring I was using a properly licensed version only to be told that he didn't know Bridge and asked that I call during the day on Monday. The sign off message to that chat was funny - they mentioned 24x365 support :-) Luckily, I've worked support in my past and I have a sense of humor.
I tried to file a bug form the web, but failed to navigate the amazingly bad support web experience of Adobe.com. At one point, I had found a place to do it, pasted the above into that window, then tried to submit - I wasn't logged in. So, I clicked the login link and got an error pop-up window with a bad-link error. I came in fresh - logged in, then could not find that "report a bug" screen again. Truly amazing. But I guess, if you cannot report a bug, it doesn't exist - so congratulations on your bug-free products.
A suggestion:
Provide a simple link to report a bug that's not tied to a service plan. It would simply be a way to tell you about problems with the hope that a solution could be provided in a future release - these can optionally be logged to the forums for community involvement. I don't mind logging in to prove I'm a valid user.

Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive. I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background? You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle. In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner?
Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled. For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once". Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program. As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems.
That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc.

Tomcat (3.2.8) service will not start in Windows 2003 Server

We just upgraded one of our servers to Windows 2003 Server. I did change the port in server.xml from 8080 to 8060. When I try to start the tomcat service it fails with an error message:
Could not start the Tomcat service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
I can however start it with the startup.bat file in tomcat_home\bin
Can anyone help.. was running fine under windows 2000 server

Corection Tomcat version is 3.2.4

Firefox 4 will not start on Windows 7 64bit

I just upgraded my installation of FF3 to FF4 and the installation seemed to go off without a hitch.
I left the "Launch Firefox now" button ticked and hit finish. Then nothing...
I can see that the process is being started (from Task Manager), but it doesn't do anything. There is no safe mode option available for me to try and restart it, so my only option is to kill it.
I have tried installing normally, advanced, "Run as administror", restaring my PC; none of these worked. Every time the process starts, but nothing happends. Not even a task bar windows comes up.
In the end I had to download (in Internet Explorer, yuk!) an older version of Firefox (3) and reinstall using this. This at least made it work again, but I still can't get FF4 working!
I updated it on my other personal PC and it worked fine (all addons the same, but older hardware).
In case it's relevant, I have heard of some annoyances with hardware acceleration and if I could get to the option to turn it off I would.
My particular hardware is:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X980 @ 3.33GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM DDR3-1600MHz
Hard Drive: RevoDrive X2 240GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 SLI
Monitor: LG M237WDP 1920*1080
Sound Card: M237WDP-1 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio)
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.101026-1503)
Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreme
All drivers are up-to-date, bar my OS which is fully up-to-date bar having SP1 installed. No other application are having problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Solved it!
It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
How I fixed it:
* Download the latest Firefox
* Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
* Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
* Hit Finish
* Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
* Leave everything disabled
* You should now have a working Firefox!
Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

FB 4.5 will not start on Windows 7 64 bit

I installed FB 4.5 on Windows 7 and when I try to start it I get this error:
C:\windows\system32\MSVCR71.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error....
I tried to run in Windows XP sp2 compatibility mode and I get this error:
Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll".
Any ideas on what to try next?
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for figuring that out Ben.
When you say that Win7 sandboxed the application, what exactly do you mean by that? For example, did you find the missing dlls in your Virtual Store instead of in the system folder, or did you find them elsewhere? Also, was it your system folder that was sandboxed, or the Flash Builder folder?
Is there anything distinctive about how you have that machine configured, that might help us reproduce that problem here? For example, are you using any custom security settings, malware protection, or other such tools that might be involved?
That missing dll you mentioned in your earlier message was from a much older version of MSVC than what Flash Builder and the other CS5.5 apps install, so it's also likely that the MS merge modules failed to update the runtimes successfully. That can happen sometimes if permissions get locked down too tight on some areas of the system folder, such that even Admins can't install properly.

Premier Elements 7 will not start on Windows 7

Unable to get Premier elements 7 to start. Crashes as soon as it is told to either create a new project or to open an existing project.
Will Premier 7 run on Windows 7?
Software: Premier 7, just reinstalled, with patches.
machine: HP with Intel core 2 quad cpu @ 2.66Ghz with 6GB memory, disks are 750Gb and 1Tb, No Raid. Video is Nvidia GeForce 9500GS
OS is 64 bit Windows home premium with all service packs and patches applied. Not running Aero.
Ran fine previously when this same hardware was running Vista

PRE7 runs fine on W7-64 without needing to set compatibility or rights.
Work through these basics to see if it cures your problems.
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Install PRE9 v9.0.1 update.
Delete BadDrivers.txt (in Windows 7 this is likely at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0\BadDrivers.txt)
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Reboot your PC.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Cheers,
Neale

Firefox will not start. browser window does not even show up.

When i click on the firefox startup icon (either in the startup menu or the desktop shortcut), i get nothing. I have ccleanup browser monitor running for cleanup and i get an indication from there that firefox has stopped.
I've tried uninstalling firefox and have tried a couple of the more recent versions and still get this problem. After reinstalling firefox it seems to work for a few days and then this happens again. Once it starts, the only way is to reinstall firefox, but that's clearly not the answer to the problem.

Makes no difference whether I am in safe mode in the browser, and/or safe mode in the PC.
FF21: fresh install on Win 7 works fine.
Shutdown: restart: FF21 blocks at ~50 meg of program loaded, eventually opening up, but still unusably slow.
AV turned off, Firewall turned off - no different.
FF21 Hardware acceleration turned off - no different.
Fresh install AGAIN - works fine.

The firefox setup 3.6.3 will not start on windows xp after the extracting process

What I Did first was I Downloaded mozilla firefox 3.6.3 from mozilla.com for windows and after I run It , the installation process asked me to run it or cancel it to which I ran it and after it extracted , it just wouldn't show up on the desktop but is visible in windows task manager [my computer is windows xp]and I am Logged on as the administrator as well.
== every time I tried to install mozilla firefox ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

thanks chris for the reply back,i have solved the massive problem i have had with MF 3.6.3 it ws COMODO FREE FIREWALL i had a sneaking suspicion all a long it could have been that but was not sure?,my pc had slowed down since installing comodo i am pretty sure of that,there were lags and pauses ect ect on general usage of the pc even though cpu usage was ok?,so maybe if many pc users that have comodo firewall installed they might like to try a change to another firewall and see if it helps,i went back to OUTPOST FREE FIREWALL which i had for ages without ANY problems whatsoever.
regards
john
