When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    If you keep having problems then disable your security software (anti-virus) during the download and installation of Firefox.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • I downloaded 4.0 but it won't install. It keeps saying Extraction Failed Can not open output file. HELP!

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 

  • My Itunes Shows The downloads history...but when I try to play them it states it can not find the file.  (same computer for the last 2 years) and no issues. now 1/2 of my library can not be played (as it can not be found)

    When I try and re-download some of them from the ITUNES store...I get an error that the file already exists on the computer.  However, when I open Itunes.  The file can not be found.  This problem just started about 1 1/2 ago...prior to that did not have any problems...Help?  direction?

    You can move the folder to where iTunes expects to find it and that will work.
    Or you can attempt to fix one broken track by looking for it when prompted when you use Get Info or attempt to play. This often works if everything is in the standard layout.
    Or you can repair things with my FindTracks script.

  • I am trying to download iTunes on to my laptap but I keep getting a "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\ with a bunch of numbers and letters following.  I have uninstalled all the iTunes programs. I changed the Regedit but I still get the error?

  • I can't open .xml files from a CD using firefox. They open OK with IP, but not Firefox.

    the .xml files are on a cd, when using MS Internet Explorer they open OK, with Firefox set as defasult browser I get a message saying unable to open <filename>

    I've compaired two machines that have had this issue. One I fixed by simply reinstalling v9.3.3 off the Adobe Site. Once fixed I compaired the Registry Settings to the one that was still broken. I found that a registry setting was missing in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat. All you have to do is right click on Acrobat, select NEW --> KEY, and call it EXE. Select the newly created folder, and in the right pane, right click, select NEW --> STRING VALUE. Double click the newly created string and under the Value Data: copy and paste the following line including the qoutations. "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" Once you are complete, close IE and reopen it and try and open a Adobe Reader File.
    If you want the easier method you can also copy and paste the following code into WordPad and just change the file extention to .REG
    Then all you have to do is double click the file and it will insert it into the registry automatically.
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""
    Hope this helps,

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • Getting "Can not open the file due to unknown error(FRM:0007)"

    Getting "Can not open the file due to unknown error(FRM:0007)", when refreshing the local copy of Deski report  from user docs.
    Any assistance
    Thanks,
    Sasi.

    Hi Sasi,
    One of the reason for this error is corrupted universe.So you can try following steps and restore copy of universe and then try to import this universe and check whether it works.
    1.While importing a universe, a temp file is created in the users local settings temp directory.
    2. For example C:\Documents and Settings\brijones\Local Settings\Temp\0dd0b0a7 .
    3. File has no extension is relatively the same size as the original universe file.
    4.Rename this file to original universe name.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Snehal
