Updated to 3.6.4 and will not run. using win xp

I have never had a problem with Firefox before.When I downloaded and installed ver.3.6.4 today. It restarted after the installation was complete and I got a message about pre-loader and program hasn't run since. I can't get the program to run so I can't list plug ins and other information about my current version.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== as soon as I downladed and installed ver. 3.6.4 ==

Hello Larry.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
Anyway, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.

    Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.
    I'm testing 32bit software that will run in 7-64 Pro but will not in win 7 home premium or vista.
    The 7-64 Pro machine is NOT running the program in XP mode although is is being run as admin. The 7 home premium and vista beta testers have tried every work around/mode, admin mode, and anti-virus exception. I've run process explorer & WinMerge to evaluate
    the differences between os operations & dlls loaded but am unable to find the OS issue.
    Currently 2-win7-64 machines, 1 vista machine and 1 win 7 machine had no issues with the program as it started up and ran immediately.
    After 3 beta's 30 hours of testing & 50 of my own, I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the win 7 home premium and vista os's.
    Can anyone here suggest other ways to further narrow it down so as to provide functionality on all 3 os's?

    You must provide the exact name and version of the software for anyone to attempt to answer your question.  Primarily the functionality of any software is entirely dependent on what platforms the publisher intended the software to run on.

  • How do I import multi-level bookmarks from IE 8 to FireFox 17 if IE 8 is broken, cannot re-install it, and will not run?

    IE 8 is still installed, but will not run. I cannot install any version of IE--I tried. I can import only first level bookmarks. Solutions in forum assume a working IE 8.

    If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML: From File
    See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

  • Have CS6, Master Suite.  The Application Manager program is corrupted and will not run. What to do?

    I have CS6, Master Suite.  The application manager program is corrupted and will not load.  What can I do?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Apple will not let me update my HP Scanner 8300 and will not update it from it's own sources.

    I updated my HP Scanjet 8300 a few weeks ago after I received a message on my computer that updates for printer & scanner were available.  I have had nothing but trouble since then with the scanner.  I also inherited the Trovi virus after that update.
    I tried to update the scanner again today, making sure I went through the HP website for downloads.  I downloaded the update and followed the instructions for proper installation. This included deleting my present software.   When I tried to install the software update that I successfully downloaded, I got a popup with this message:
    "HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. "
    Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.
    “HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg” is on the disk image “HP-Scanjet-Update-for-OS-X-10.7.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 10:10 AM from h10025.www1.hp.com.
    I went back to Apple updates and found information that HP no longer updated our HP appliances and that MAC OS X Mountain Lion automatically provided these updates for their Mac users.  I restarted my computer expecting to see improvement, but now my scanner is completely gone from my computer and no updates are available.   I am outraged that Apple would completely disable my scanner.  I use it all the time. 
    I really need help.  Please!
    I originally installed the scanner when I had Snow Leopard.   I now have Mountain Lion - not because I didn't like Snow Leopard, but because I had my computer repaired and they installed Mountain Lion.

    I am sorry for the delay in answering.  TWC email sometimes takes several days to get to me.
    I am embarrassed to say that I did not read closely the message that was provided when I clicked on Control Clicked / Open.  I did go back and continue the process and thought I had installed the update.  The end message stated that the installation was successful, but I could not find the scanner anywhere, even with intense searching.  I have reinstalled it twice again with no scanner installed.  I did find files in the Saved Application State but they take only a few KBs of space and the software should have taken 22.4 MBs.
    I have messages now posted in two different HP Communities and will continue to try that route to help, but right now it looks dismal.  If you have any more explanations or advice I would love hearing from you.  Could the Trovi component cause this problem?  I thought I was rid of it but I don't really know what to look for other than not having it take over my home page - which it has not done recently.
    I really appreciate your help, and I take your advice to heart about not using the older CD and I will not attempt to revert to Snow Leopard.  I am really afraid it would mess up iPhoto  and that would be devastating.

    "C:\Windows\system32\softpub.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
    I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the softpub.dll file.)

    I had the same situation, but what I forgot was that my laptop also had Evernote installed.  If I hadn't gone back and updated the laptop, them my system was still vulnerable. My desktop showed the updated version installed, but the store kept saying I needed to update it.  I posted on this forum and it was suggested I check for installion on a different device.  As soon as I updated on the laptop, the message from the store went away.

  • TS3148 my computer has a lighting bolt and a hazard symbol on it and will not run anything

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • HP Pav. DV4-1428dx updated bios, now just flashing light will not run off ac

    ran a few updates including bios, computer went dead with the ac plugged in, will not charge the battery any longer, when it goes dead and I leave it alone it will charge and start up and run off batter but just like right now with ac plugged in the lightning bolt is just flashing blue, i do not understand, ive read on the other sights of resetting the bios with USB drive, anyone got any ideas or assitance?

    Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
    I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
    I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
    I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
    That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
    This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!

  • Mail App will not run in Win 8.1

    while trying to use my mail app the other day i would get an error message stating that i could not run this because file explorer was in admin mode the it asked me to run as a different user I am the only user on the computer no other account are on there.
    I check the uac status and everything looked fine i i tried to launch the app again with still getting the same error message. I checked the properties of the file explorer and deleted Admin and system and just left myself and rebooted my computer. When it
    can back up i tried to launch it again with the same error. I am unable to get personal and business emails at this point.
    Could you please take a look at this for me?

    I check the uac status and everything looked fine
    Another way to check would be ResMon for its Elevated column.  Then if it shows Yes a problem would be that I don't know what the equivalent procedure would be for "unelevating" yourself.   ; )
