V26.0 Every time I open I get message msls31.dll is not a valid image

Every time I open Firefox or a second window/tab I get error message " C:\windows\system32\msls31.dll is not a valid image " I have verified I do have that file, in that directory. It doesn't cause a problem, other than I have to acknowledge it every time. Running Windows XP., sp3. I believe the problem first occurred after I updated Firefox to V 26.0

Is it always the same page or site when this error occurs, or does it happen with any link you open in a new tab or new window regardless of the site?
I'm not sure why Firefox is accessing this particular file, but if you are not able to find another source of the problem, you could use the Windows "system file checker" to check for possible corruption.

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

I unsubsribed from Get Glue and now every time I open Firefox, Get Glue opens on the page and I cannot get rid of it. I like Firefox and would like to use it, but the problem with Get Glue coming up each time I open Firefox causes me not to use Firefox.

Don't know what to add. How do I get rid of Get Glue and have Firefox open by itself?

This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

Every time I open I get a proxy error. I change it but it reverts back whenever I restart Firefox.

I just downloaded Firefox 4. EVERY SINGLE TIME I open it, I get the proxy error message. So I go to Tools --> Options and change the connection settings. This makes it work - until I have to close it and open it again. This has never happened with any other version of Firefox and does not happen with IE or Chrome. It's very frustrating to say the least.

Could do the following please.
#In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
#In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: '''network.http.proxy.keep-alive'''
#Double click it to set it to '''False'''.
After you configure "No Proxy" in the Advanced | Network settings, close and then restart Firefox, it should prevent what's happening at the moment because normally, FF will attempt to reuse open proxy connections.
If it doesn't work, you can reset it again by double clickiing the entry to change it to "True".
One other thing you could try (assuming the above method fails), is to create a new Profile. See [[Profiles]] and [[Managing Profiles]]. The latter explains how to move data from the old profile to the new one.

I tried the Aperature trial and liked it, but did not purchase it when the trial ended. A few weeks later, i purchased snow lepord and purchased aperture via the app store. I have had not been able to use it since. Each time i open it , afer a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death and Aperture is frozen. I have to force quit Aperture to shot down mycomputer. I have re-installed Aperture 3 times with th e same result. I have iphoto on my computer as well is this causing the problem? I want my money back!!! Can anyone help?

You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Every time Firefox opens, I get new tab, with my desired page as a tab that I have to click on to get to. How do I go back to how it was in previous versions?

After updating to the newest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and the one that comes up on my screen is new tab, with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go there. Also when I click on a link the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab that I have to click on to get to. This is actually quite annoying and inconvenient. How do I go back to the way that it was, so that when I start Firefox it opens on my home page, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link that I clicked on? IMO This new and improved is really new and made worse.

An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the extra tab?
Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

When trying to open documents, getting error as File is not a valid Win32 application

Hi,
I am trying to open a MPP by clicking on the name of the file. But I am getting the error as "path\filename.mpp is not a valid Wind32 application".
I am able to save the document and open it in MPP, but clicking on the document name is giving this error "File is not a valid Win32 application".
I have tried to repair "Microsoft Project". But still the same issue. I am using Office 2010. SharePoint site is SP 2010.
How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Ed,
I am sorry, but I could not understand that answer.
I have put that answer in the below quotes:
"You are never going to believe what I did. This is a nice ending to a very confusing situation. lol
I uninstalled Project 2007 and rebooted my laptop and reinstalled Project 2007. No Difference at all. Same thing happened. I just couldn't stop thinking about how 2007 Microsoft Office Component kept showing up in default programs. This has bugged me for days.
I went browsing in my program files. I typed in Microsoft Office Project. The only thing I found was WINPROJ. I decided to check it out. I checked it's properties, size, location, etc.. What did I have to lose at this point? I clicked on it and it went into
my default programs as Microsoft Office Project 2007. This doesn't make any sense to me. But, don't try to fix anything else if it isn't broken, right? It's working and I am so relieved. I mean, YAAAAY!!! Another mystery solved...
Thanks for hanging in there with me to help solve this mystery. You have been of great assistance to me. You made me think outside the box and it worked.
Laura"
Does it mean MPP Should be a 2007 version?
Thanks

Every time Firefox open I get an error message stating "Unable to start the Bluetooth stack Service". What does this mean and what should I do about it, if anything?

This occurs ever time I start my computer. It does not seem to impact anything I do. I just click OK and it goes away with no apparent harm.

Thank you so much for answering a question that has been bugging (no pun intended) me for so long. I am not a technical person at all, as you can see by my assumption that this was a Firefox and not a Windows situation, and I would have continued to just kept on hitting the OK button forever. I opted out by disabling the option but I copied the solution to a Word document and placed in a file just in case I needed to reverse in the future. Thanks once again for your quick response and interest in helping. Ed

Every time I open I get I get Crash Reporter. Will not open Firefox

I click the Firefox icon and all I keep getting is the Mozilla Crash Reporter. I try to restart Firefox and it will not restart. Just keeps giving me the Crash Reporter pop up. I am unable to start Firefox! Please help. email addres is: [email protected]

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Tried many of your suggestions but still can't get past "mozalloc.dll is not a valid windows image" when trying to install and run firefox 6

I have downloaded new copies, deleted everything including install directory, run three different av programs and eliminated anything found. the only other copy of this file in my computer is in the thunderbird directory. Any other suggestions? FF 5 was running ok until I tried the upgrade. Now I can't install any version.

Solved problem. ran a registry cleaner, ran chkdsk and defrag on partition that now has the program installed on it, and on the partition that contains the "'temp" directory. also cleaned out the latter.

Iphoto '08 keeps rebuilding cache every time i open it.

Hi there, I'm currently using the Macbook late 2008 aluminium model. Recently I've reformatted my mac and then transferred my photos from a previous backup. However, after doing so, every time i open iPhoto, keeps on rebuilding the cache, not even asking my permission whether I want it to do so. Any suggestions on what to do? thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. aBackup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Lastly, if the above didn't help, try this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
OT
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Every time I open PS (starting today) it acts like I am using a free trial I bought in May

I purchased Production Premium CS6 in May and haven't had any issues until today. Every time I open Photoshop the message comes up asking if I would like to pruchase the software or continue my free trial. I tried putting in the serial number I recieved when I purchased the software but it tells me it is invalid. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5. I have not made any changes except last week I moved all of my CS5.5 software (that I had upgraded from) and the CS5.5 and CS6 disk images to an external hard drive. Anyone else experience this kind of problem before?

Quick update to this: I just gave it one more shot entering the serial number, and (I guess) it accepted it. When I clicked "next" the message disappeared. I guess we'll see what happens.

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Do you want to import it? Yes or No" Any suggestions?

Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message: "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash
