When firefox starts, an "XvidSetup.exe" window pops up asking to install the file. How can I stop this?

This only happens opening FF, IE is ok. This started just a few days ago, but I cannot think of anything that triggered it.
I am running Windows XP.

Hi MSchp,
You should check to see what your homepage has been set to or try to NOT restore the previous session. Did you try to install the xvid codec at one point? It sounds like it might be trying to load it on startup because the download url might be stored in the session history or as your homepage. Try resetting the home page to default and don't load the previous session.
Hopefully this helps!

    If you are getting a box which looks like this -
    - then you are right-clicking or Control-clicking on the icon in the Dock, or are click-and-holding on the icon rather than just single-clicking it quickly.
    In any of those cases, clicking on a bare patch of Desktop should make the box (menu) disappear.

  • Every time i start photoshop elements 12 it asks for my country. How can I stop this?

    Every time PE12 starts up it asks for my country. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times PE12 on my Windows 7 desktop. This is a PITA.

    On this page at http://www.nectar.com/collect/toolbar/faq.points there are uninstall instructions (12th from the top).
    You should also be able to find it by clicking the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. You should be able to remove it from there if uninstalling it doesn't work.

  • When I open a page from an email document it opens in Internet Explorer - how can I stop this?

    Hi, I use Firefox as my default browser but when I opened a link from an official emailed adobe document it opened in Internet Explorer - I want to force all browser links to open only in Firefox - I have checked the advanced options and Firefox is set to my default, please help.

  • I just did a update on my Iphone 5..now when i send a text message,it repeats back under my phone number..how can i stop this?

    my texts are repeating back to me under my number,why?

    There are multiple reasons why the update failed, unless you can provide an error message/code that came up then nodbody will know.
    Now your iPhone is in recovery mode and will now need to be connected to a computer with iTunes and restored to factory settings. This will install the update at the same time.
    If you have a back up of the iPhone before the issue occurred then after the restore to fqactory settings you can restore the back up to the iPhone. If there was no back up then I'm sorry your data is gone.

    Hello mth24car, please try to '''download and install firefox''', do the next steps:
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

    You can try to reset Firefox with a new profile if you are currently using a Firefox 13.0.x version.

  • I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll.

    I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll. and one just said *Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please re install I Tunes Error 7 (windows error 127) . I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. But either way cant work. I really need some of your help! PLS HELP ME!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The error shares a similar pattern to that in the third box, so a similar approach should work. Look for CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, delete it, then repair Apple Application Support.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    When I upgraded to 4.0 it will not show the toolbar "Firefox is not able to show the Toolbar. Please re-install the Toolbar" How do I fix this?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers".  When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.

  • When I click on some links, Firefox tries to open a ton of new tabs... I have to force quit. How can I stop this?

    Sometimes when I click on a website link, Firefox goes crazy with trying to open new tabs... it keeps going until I force quit. How can I stop this?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I clicked on a link

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
