Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

  • When installing itunes 10 uding windows xp I get the following error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installerpackage. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your sipport personnel or package vendor." - any ideas?

    When downloading itunes 10 in windows xp, I get the following error "There is a problem with this Windoes Installer package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." - any ideas on how to proceed?

    using MSICUU2.exe didn't help me.  But,  the new replacement app did:
      http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    I fixed my problem like this:
    Here's the deal - 
    1.  can you install itunes via the APPLE SOFTWARE updater?
    I couldn't  so I downloaded ITUNES and tried to install it that way.   Hence  I got the same error hang as you.  Nothing worked,  (Multiple attempts at uninstall reinstall,  stopping of Services,  Reg cleaners  etc..)
    2.  If answer is NO to #1 you must fixe the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE Program. 
    OK  so I couldn't find a Download for this.   But:  if you have WINRAR,  open the ITUNES.EXE and extract the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI file.  Execute the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI separately.   And you will not be able to install it and have a similar issue as per your Itunes install.   This of course leads you to believe that the Itunes.exe  install is also installing all of these components including the applesoftwareupdate silently.   It must BOMB at that portion of the install and you are done. 
    3.  Your goal now is to get the applesoftwareupdate installed.   How do you do this.  Well -  here is what I did.
      a.  downloaded and RUN a PC  Installer FIX it tool from Microsoft.  This is a replacement for the older MSI fixer they used to use.
      http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    b. It will list programs to attempt to fix.
      choose  AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    c. Once it is done,  then reinstall apple program updater using
    AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    Finally it should install since the Microsoft tool appraently fixed corrupted installation files in your registry for this application.
    (Please note:  that I also disabled any apple related services such as BONJOUR or IPOD DEvice RUN:  services.msc to get there -  although this man not be necesarry.)
    Hence Launch this APPLE UPDATE SOFTWARE (Click the ICON in your Start menu)  it should list ITUNES
    select ITUNES from here and it will update.
    KEY HERE is to ONLY UPDATE APPLE Stuff via the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE program.  If that program is not working fix it.  Then Bingo.
    I am sorry to see folks having this problem for weeks.  
    APPLE,   Spread the word.  PC's can get corruption in the registry on your product should the update be stopped or computer shut off during an update.  etc...   Please improve your software updater program to check for invalid registry upon launching the app.  This will prevent people thinking it is an APPLE issue.  It appears to be a problem on your PC's registry settings for the APPLE Software update.

    Depending on your OS, you should be able to use;

    Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
    Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.

    Will I be able to update the software?

    look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update

    Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem. 
    Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production.  Has Apple fixed this problem.  is there a knowledge base article on this?
    On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project,  I cannot share it.....Really.  This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

    Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
    I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work.  I will repair permissions again,  I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
    There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

  • Firefox loads the "welcome to firefox" along with my homepage (firefox startup page) everytime I start firefox up. It also checks for add-on compatibility at the same time.

    My firefox program is regularly updated (automatic update). Normally, after an update, when I start up firefox the "welcome to firefox" (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0.2/whatsnew/) with all the new features and stuff display pops up, but only for the first time, together with the add-on compatibility check
    This time, however, it just keeps loading everytime I start up firefox. It seems to think that I've just updated all the time. It's not a problem (nothing else is affected), I'm just wondering why this is happening. Suggestions?
    I'm running firefox 6.0.2 on a windows 7 platform. No patches or funny stuff added to firefox. Standard players and video/audio encoders.

  • After updating firefox (on MAC), everytime I start Firefox there is an open installation dialog box - which I cannot figure out how to delete.

    I have used Firefox without problem, on my Mac, for several years. I recently updated to v22.0. Now every time I open Firefox, there is a dialog box (marked "Firefox , 2 items") that appears, with the Firefox icon, and arrow pointing right, and a folder icon. It looks like I am asked to install Firefox again. I've done this several times, but the dialog box never disappears. I have right-clicked, and hit "eject firefox only." The dialog disappears, but then reappears the next time I open Firefox. Firefox seems to be functioning normally, but this installation glitch is annoying. How can I resolve this?

    More info, in case it helps anyone else with this problem:
    I got a PM from waycool007 on 10/12/13 which said,
    Hi Alice -
    Thanks for trying to help me - regarding the question regarding the firefox dialog box.
    I am opening firefox from the icon on my dock. It then opens the annoying installation/dialog box.
    If I open firefox from the applications folder, it actually opens properly.
    ... to which I answered,
    You need to close Firefox if open and then delete the Firefox icon that is in the dock. You can then start Firefox from the applications folder and, when the new Firefox icon shows up in the dock, use the control click option to keep it there.
    Let me know if this fixes it.
    I just got this reply:
    I followed your instructions, and Firefox is now working normally. This has been bugging me for at least two months, and you solved it in a minute. Wow. Thanks!
    (You're welcome!)

  • THE FAMOUS ERROR: There was a problem reading this document (15) - Thanks Adobe Engineering team

    As a result of this error, I cannot delete pages in a big PDF file I have of 1032 pages.
    The error, famous on the web and in Google, is:
    there was a problem reading this document (15)
    I hope I can find a solution for this, because I cannot delete the unnecessary pages inside the document which is driving me crazy.
    Adobe Acrobat X has a very poor quality testing. In fact I don't beleive Adobe test their products, I think they just program them, label them as the finished product, ASK FOR A HIGH PRICE, OF COURSE, and release them to the market creating a lot of nightmares and headaches to the customer.
    Adobe Acrobat X crashed several times when the files have flash content inside or formularies. The program, simply, is bad programmed with a very poor engineering inside.
    As soon I find an alternative for PDF, I will switch, I promise, in fact I don't promise it, I SWEAR IT.
    And if I dont find a solution for this I will put in my car a banner that says "DON'T BUY ADOBE ACROBAT, IS THE WORST PROGRAM YOU CAN FIND!"
    I'm loosing days and days of work, this is costing me problems and money.

    Yes, there is something wrong with the document. That is the defective programming the Adobe engineering team did. And please, allow me to explain you why it is defective. After you spend millions dollars in 950 engineers and 3100 beta testers, you can destroy Adobe Acrobat X easily just downloading a website rich in flash content. Some animated banners in the downloaded pages from the web, it's enough to destroy it.
    Just go to a website where you have animated banners, and press Shift+Crtl+O to download the pages...
    Save your PDF document and then try to work with it.
    If the document has a big size, let's say 1000 pages approximately, and many of them have flash content... Adobe Acrobat X crash automatically just moving from one page to another.
    As simple as that.
    Is the most unstable program I've seen in all my life. And please, don't tell me it's my machine, because I've tested it in other computers. The same!
    But there is more! yes
    Forms fields also destroy Acrobat X
    In a big PDF file having several pages inside with forms, just go to Tools, Forms and Edit, then in the list of pages try to delete the forms fields selecting them and pressing the Del key... crasshhhh Acrobat X die.
    What kind of betatesters you chose to test your products? For sure are people that are working with light documents of 5... 10 pages and no more.
    For sure are not people working extensively with Adobe Acrobat, as I do.
    And what happens when Acrobat X crash miserably time after time? that the Error 15 comes, because the file becomes corrupted.
    This is not serious.
    Is this the kind of performance and stability that Acrobat provide to the customers? having the risk to lose important documents and data, due how unstable is the program?
    You can tell me you hired NASA personnel to do this program, but customers need results, and crashing the program just pressing one key is not serious.
    And talking about complains I don't want to remember the last update of the Acrobat 9 !!!
    And you know what? a simple tool as NitroPDF don't crash!
    Sadly NitroPDF is not an option for me, because I embed videos in the PDF documents and NitroPDF don't allow me that.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X because sadly I don't find another alternative, the day I find it, I'll switch for sure.
    Or perhaps we can get a miracle, and your programmers could focus in what is IMPORTANT: STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE.

    What do you think is the best to check?

  • I Need help with the following error:

    Hi, I am getting the following error:
    <b>BPE_ADAPTER">SYSTEM_FAILURE_INTERNAL</b>
    I have looked at some of the other threads that deal with this but since I am new to XI I am not sure where to look. I have tried to activate in SXI_CACHE and I get a code of 99 with the following error. I did not get this error in the QAS environment, only when it was moved to Prod. We have cleared and reset all of the caches and am still getting this error when I try to activate in SXI_CACHE:
    <b>E     'STATUSCODE' is not a component of data object 'PAYLOAD'</b>
    Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this? We just moved it to prod and need to get it fixed asap.
    Thanks in advance for all of the help.

    Hi Michael,
    Before SP16:
    the problem should be solved with the help of note 890760. You might find note
    816430 interesting as well, but the first one should help you solve the problem.
    After:
    If those are already in your system, have a look at note 996631. This could be
    the solution.
    Regards and good luck with XI.

    Weeks of TRASH = FIREFOX 3.66
    All three of my computers have been totally worthless since I upgraded to FF3.66. Each are built/configured differently. Each has a different OS. Each has all the above problems. Crashes constantly, RAM & CPU usage on a Q9650 is always near 100%. After screwing around for days I finally came here and found out that I was among a very large and upset group of users. With the last few upgrade I've had minor problems with my selection of add-ons Firefox disabled them for a later fix. I found a new DL today, 3.67 so I installed it figuring the problem was addressed. After installation of 3.67 it still says it's 3.66??
    I went to their site to find help from them and couldn't get anyplace until I came here and read about my problem. Thanks for giving me a clear head so I could find a good solution.
    My solution was to remove all Mozilla/Firefox products and then install other browsing options. It felt funny because for the first time in years I had to use Microsoft Internet Explorer to find other options. My computer is problem free and fast as usual now.
    I wonder how many other users have abandoned them due to this BS?? I for one will probably stick with my new choices now.
    YES, Weeks of TRASH = FIREFOX 3.66

I received the following error message; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program.

    You'll have to downgrade to the previous secure version I regret to say. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).<br><br>
    Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br><br>
