Won't uninstall, Couldn't Read Application.ini issue, Won't start up..

Tried to uninstall version 3.6.1.3, wouldn't complete uninstallation. Installed Beta 4, now it won't work. I have had multiple issues trying to start it (XULRunner issue) and I am not a computer geek. Don't know how to really uninstall and re-install, except the little button on the computer.. It has been kinda crashing/ slow/ Unable to find Server for about a week now. All of this fun stuff with Firefox began today.
Can't even start in Safe mode. ARG!

Do a clean (re)install:
* 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.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • My ver. 2.0.0.17 of Firefox wouldn't start and gave me an error that said "couldn't find applications.ini so I reloaded it and it upgraded to ver. 2.0.0.20.

    My ver. 2.0.0.17 of Firefox suddenly, without warning, wouldn't start and gave me an error that said "couldn't find applications.ini and trying to start it in "safe mode" didn't work either, so I reloaded it... then it worked and it upgraded me to ver. 2.0.0.20.
    Is this a common problem with just that version, or across the board?
    I also downloaded version 3.6.3, will that suddenly have the same problem? Is there a quick fix if that happens again?
    I have Win XP Home.

  • Burned DVD issues in DVD player not reading or music issues stop and start

    I'm a PC converted to a MAC (less than a month) and love it so far. I have been able to create and burn a DVD. The problem I'm having is one DVD player will not read the DVD (Hitachi). The other DVD player will play it, but the music stops and starts when it transitions (twirl) to another picture (Panasonic DVD/VHS combo). I'm using a DVD R Memorex. Neither one of the player are new. Would love to use this to make the Grandparent's a DVD of the grandchildren from birth to present as Christmas present. What do I need to use or do to be able to watch on any DVD player as well as the computers?

    Hi me01
    Welcome to apple discussions. Try using 99 photos / less to avoid issues with audio fades / drops. Also do a search for Memorex on this forum and you'll see it's not the first choice of dvd's for most users. Instead try Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 4x from a disc image for best results. Wish you luck and feel free to post back with results or any further questions.

  • Adobe Reader won't open  Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer.  Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR?  Any ideas?

    My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets.  Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open.  I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader.  When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do.  Any ideas?  I have no functioning Adobe reader.  Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?

    (Had to step away & do things) I can't even open up the Adobe Reader application to uninstall; get message it won't open. And now have more things needing to be downloaded to print.  Any ideas on how to open the app, so I can uninstall.  I have a MAC OS X 10.9.4  When the installation initially failed I received this message from Adobe, " Adobe Reader Installation Error  Package name Adobe Reader xi (11.0.07)  Installer: installing abase path/installer: The install failed  (The install encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)  It did not specify what the error was

    We installed some Windows Server Updates about 3 months ago (at the time, over 70 Windows updates were installed) but, this problem hasn't shown up until 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think a .Net Service Pack might have been part of the updates at that time. When we did the updates, Windows was shutdown and updates installed per the preferred option of Windows. But now when rebooting since that time, the server continually reccomends the install updates and shutdown option. Do we need to rollback the server to date prior those updates if possible?
    I have also uninstalled .Net Framework back to 2.0. Is 1.0 or 1.1 the max that will work with XI?
    Should I also try to uninstall all other Windows updates?
    Thanks in advance for any help, Ed

  • Reader won't start, reinstall doesn't help

    Hi,
    Having trouble with a couple of computers where Adobe Reader won't start up. This is only hapenning on two of our workstations. All are Windows 7 64 bit fully patched. Anti-virus is ESET. Reader is latest 11.0.6.
    Upon log in you are presented with an error dialogue titled "reader_sl.exe - application error" with the text "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application."
    When you try to start Reader, you get the "Adobe Reader Protected Mode" dialogue. Attempting to open without protected mode results in a "Fatal Error" dialogue stating "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL".
    What I've tried so far includes removing then reinstalling Reader,  using the Reader cleanup app and then reinstalling, running a full virus scan, disabling AV, using the TDSSKiller app from Kaspersky.
    Anyone have any clues on how to get Reader working or what I should be debugging next?
    Thanks.
    Ronny

    Same problem here, have done the following to try and resolve.
    Ran 3 different Rootkit Detectors including Kapersky.
    Ran Sophos Scan
    Ran sfc /scannow
    have reinstalled twice, including a full uninstall and also using the Adobe Clean tool.
    Getting very upset and frustrated with this issue, its not malware related in this instance and Adobe need to get their act together.
    Have worked in IT support for years now and I have seen more issues with Reader in the last month than ever.
    Its become a horrible buggy piece of software.
    EDIT: Not to mention the error code is ridiculous, what DLL are we even talking about here?
    So frustrated... FML

  • After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

    win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
    if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
    try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

    There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
    Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
    If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
    To do so, please do the following:
    #Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
    #Press the power button
    #Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
    #Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
    Please report back with the results of both solutions.

  • Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Unistall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Uninstall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

  • I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

    I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

  • Java application won't start anymore

    Hi,
    I am using a Java Application (Protege) that was running just fine last week but today it just won’t start!
    When click-on it jumps about 3 time in the dock and stop. I was able to run the connected .jar file but most of the features are not available this way.
    I have not done anything special since last week beside Safari update (1.3.2.).
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Did you update Quicktime to 7.0.4? See if the following discussion seems relevant. There's a solution in the fourth message (reverting to Quicktime 7.0.1).
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1500443
    If that's the fix, the problem may be due to Protege using an outdated JavaApplicationLauncher. See

  • How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 completely?

    How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and Adobe Download Manager completely?
    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 and I don't want to uninstall that.

    Hi
    Most Mac applications come in self-contained packages (ctrl-click, or right-click, & you will see Show Package Contents), they can just be dragged to the trash.
    Some applications have their own uninstaller which must be run.
    With Adobe Reader 8, I believe the icon in Applications is a folder so just drag it to the trash & empty the trash. I believe Download Manager (Applications/Utilities) should be the same. Someone may know different.
    There is also AppZapper or AppDelete. These work by you dragging & dropping the application you wish to delete onto its icon, AppZapper/AppDelete then pulls all parts of that application together then moves it to the trash.

  • Acrobat reader XI won't start

    Hello,
    For quite some time now I am unable to open Adobe acrobat reader / any other PDF file.
    When I open it, in windows task manager I can see there is a running process, but it stays like that.
    I have tried uninstalling, restarting my pc and reinstalling but it still won't start.
    I am running on Windows 7 with all the important updates installed.
    Can anybody help please?

    Now I'm trying to disabled reader_sl.exe from running on startup. I don't see it in Startup menu/Services/msconfig.
    The only adobe related program that is running at starting is AdobeARM.exe.
    Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thank you
    EDIT: Ok I found it myself. It was the AdobeARM.exe that was running reader_sl.exe. Disabling it in msconfig did the trick.
    From this point I am not sure if it was both the eula.exe and reader_sl.exe or just the reader_sl.exe.
    Good that I found it, now I can continue using my favorite PDF reader and it seems faster without the speedlauncher. Maybe because I have SanDisk ExpressCache.
