Cannot open the initial window of Firefox. (windows7 update)

When I run Firefox, the hourglass shows seconds, then disappears.
No window is open. This occurs after an automated update to my
Windows overnight Tuesday, dec 9. Internet Explorer is obviously OK.
All other programs OK.

Have tried - without change:

 restart computer;
 reinitialize modem and wifi home set;
 install new firefox (using "stub" 35.0.5);
 hold shift key down during launch;
 Windows "troubleshoot compatibility" reports "An error occurred while
   troubleshooting".

After any attempt to start the Task Manager shows there is at least one
Firefox.exe * 32 process (tab), but no related Application (tab).
Dialog box 'automatically add' could not open this file...

Please use malwarebytes as well - in my experiences, it gives the best results (just leave the ability to run a try for the unchecked pro version)...

    I tried running Outlook.exe / resetnavpane because I see it worked for a ton of people - but I got the error message "cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  The command line argument is not valid.  Check the switch you are using.

    This is almost always due to:

    1. you have an older version of Outlook that does not have command line switch.  What version of Outlook you have?
    2. you have not put a space between "Outlook.exe" and "/ resetnavpane.

  • Cannot open the file Windows XP Proffesional.vmdk

    I can not power

    on cuz VM of this error, cannot open the file path ' ' Wnidows XP Professional.vmdk, the system does not give especified. Someone knows how to fix this? Help me pls.

    From what I have read it could be a corrupt vmdk file, so I'll share my for you guys.

    None of the binary scopes, "Windows XP Professional - s001.vmdk ' via ' Windows XP Professional - s305.vmdk", lack or size of 0 bytes?

  • Error Msg: cannot open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk.

    The hard drive on my iMac crashed while my virtual machine is running.  When I try to open the virtual machine 'suspended', I get the following error message: could not open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk"; The system cannot find the specified file.  This file is listed in the contents of the packaging of the XP machine, but it notes the date, the iMac has crashed, which is the last day of work of the virtual machine.  I have read through discussions and tried a few things from the knowledge base, but I can't go past the error msg for the virtual machine to run.  Any suggestions?

    After selecting OK, I then received the second attached message, "Current Message.png", which reads... "your virtual machine has not returned because of an error.  If you believe that the error is correctable and you want to keep the suspended state, so you can correct the mistake, after that the virtual machine is turned off, select Preserve.  To ignore the waking state, select reject. »

    I didn't do anything since getting this second message because I do not know which to choose.

    In this case I'd throw away them.

    If after following your excellent detailed instructions & explanation (thank you!), here is what happened...

    As the machine has begun to resume in a suspended state, that asked me if I moved or copied and I selected, copied.

    In cases like this (restore a Machine virtual sauvegardΘ) the correct answer to this question is "I moved it" even thought "I copied it" seams more logical, it is not the right answer but with the advent of the second error message, not caused by the answer to the first question, no answer would have mattered.

    (if I can just get my prospects for work with this virtual machine files, your help would be invaluable!)

    This Virtual Machine is always recoverable, however if you are only interested in the recovery of data from the user then after reading the following quit VMware Fusion and try to mount the virtual disk to the Virtual Machine using the information below.

    Take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > Search > type VMDKMounter, and then select use VMDKMounter to mount a virtual drive as a Mac Volume

    Notice, ignore the parts on "to add support for reading / writing to NTFS volumes, you need to install NTFS - 3G separately." as it is not necessary for recovering files within the VM using VMDKMounter, because you only need read access to retrieve data from the user.

    After obtaining your user data disassemble the virtual hard disk on the desktop and then after that you want to retrieve the VM using methods from another just let know us and additional directions can be given.
