  • I get an error message saying that firefox is already running when I try to open it, but firefox does not work it became more frequent in the last week

    When I try to open firefox, the firefox message is already running on this computer I had a few times in the past, but it has become more common recently. I know that the application is not running. Thus, the only cure is to restart my computer then it's ok.

     hoping someone can help
      kind regards Paul
    

    Probably a process firefox.exe "hung."

  • Missing profile - cannot create new one - uninstalled FF - revenue W8.1 said earlier - already running when you try to re - install FF - many reboots VIPRE IS

    original error was "already in the process of running FF" - not the view in the task manager - not could close - restarted several times - same results - uninstalled FF and tried the download & installation of new - same message "already running." W8.1 revenue by about 3 weeks (3 updates) - same result when installing FF = already "running." After the message "already running" is always the profile is missing or inaccessible.

    Do the same thing with TB BTW. Using the latest version of VIPRE internet security on automatic update. Nothing like on a W7 and XP machine on the same LAN. Is there a virus on corrupting FF? Scan VIPRE says nothing about the machine of 8.1...

    See:

    This is usually caused by a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

    You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    • Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
  • When I try to open up firefox it just starts flashing like crazy, then firfox say is already running when it is not. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and it did not work. I can open internet explore

    When I start Firefox, it just blinks like crazy and will do nothing. I got a message that Firefox is already running. Internet Explorer still works

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is a few days ago. Do not remember whether or not she began before or after I removed macafee and added norton

    I don't know what could be the cause of the problem, but you can try opening FF in Safe Mode. I don't know if I can help if it does not work.

  • Error "a newer version of quicktime is already installed" when you attempt to install QuickTime

    I am running Vista as an administrator.  I was running itunes version 8.03 for several months.  When I went to upgrade to itunes 9.x, I started to have problems. the upgrade was unsuccessful.  I then uninstalled quick time and itunes and all the other software Apple via the Control Panel, windows Install CleanUp and also delete the apple key in the registry under the local computer and the current user.  I did a search on the computer and remove all apple, quick time and records of safari.

    I have also created a new administrator user and tried to install through this user, without success, exact same results.

    When I try to install itunes via the downloaded executable software I get the error «a newer version of quick time is already installed...» »

    I spent several hours on the phone with Apple and they indicated that they believe that vista is now a registry entry somewhere for quick time that causes the problem.  They suggested that I contact Microsoft.

    At this point, I can't use my i touch and would like to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Hello flybydug,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Apple should have been able to tell where, in the registry that QuickTime written in. However, review the information below.

    1. go to C:\Program Files and delete the entire folder QuickTime.

    2. click on start - search/search - all files and folders, select the hard disk (C :) to look in, type in QuickTime, and then click search / search when list files appear, click right on and remove any that you confirm are associated with QuickTime.)

    3. Click Start, type regedit, and then click OK. Click on the + to:

    Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
    In the software submenu, click directly on the entry of Apple Computer, then scroll for QuickTime, right-click and select Remove.

    Note: If you click on the + to the "entry of Apple Computer, it will grow and you should see"QuickTime"which are listed there.

    4. exit regedit. It will save their output.

    I hope this helps.

  • the System Restore Wizard is already running

    I am running Vista Home Premium and when I try to run a system restore point, it gives me an error message "The restore Restore Wizard is already running".
    I'm unable to install or uninstall programs Is there a command line command to disable the Restore Wizard. I know to turn it on by command line using Rstrui.exe.
    I can't even run Norton Ghost because it can not create restore points.

    Please, any help would be useful.
    Gary

    Hi Groma,

    System Restore has already worked before or this is your first attempt to use it? If he has worked in the past, what has changed?
    Are you waiting for the system restore window to come, but not answered, or you click on it a second time? If you click it a second time, which would lend itself to the error you receive.

    If you have successfully created a previous restore point, I would run the system restore in safe mode automatically from the command prompt:

    Start the restore of the system from a command prompt

    You can start the system restore from a command prompt window if you cannot start your computer in a mode other than the mode safe mode with command prompt.

    1.

    Start your computer in safe mode with command prompt. For more information, see start your computer in safe mode . If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2.

    At the command prompt, type rstrui.exe, and then press ENTER.

    NoteIf you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you cannot undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

    For more information, see you in the following:

  • Try to install the CS6, but when I click on install says install Adobe is already running.

    Hello

    I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection, but when I click on install it says that Adobe installation is already running when in fact it is not.  I double checked my window to leave and my activity monitor that is not executed. What should I do?

    Here is a screenshot to show you the screen error message.Screen Shot 2012-06-21 at 2.02.43 PM.png

    I'm not really an expert Mac, we might need some experts Mac to chime in here.

    It's probably a background process and not an application. If anything, I think that you will find in the activity monitor.

    If this does not help, you can also try the following:

    1. reboot and try to install again (you've probably done already)

    2. start in safe mode and then try to install.
