    I've never had this problem until had to down load the new Firefox, now I get this message rather close a page or open it...
    EXC in ev handi: error: Bad NPObject as private data. what I can do?

    Disable McAfee siteadvisor and check the problem persists or not?

  • Error Msg received on the tab open: Exc in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

    Very simple - the following error message appears when I open a new tab with a web page or empty:
    EXC in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

    Please see the solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    "McAfee Site Advisor.

    (Windows): for best results, you need to uninstall McAfee Site Advisor from Control Panel > add/edit programs (programs and features). Restart the system. Then http://www.siteadvisor.com/ reinstalling and reboot the system. Installation of other waste (crapware) suggested applications.

    Please mark "resolved" a response that will better help others with a similar problem - hope it was her.

  • EXC in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

    Just updated to FF 3.6.23. Running on Vista Business Premium. Now, whenever FF navigates to a new page, it displays this error message: "Exc in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!" with a button to be clicked before the page OK takes over. ALL PAGES.

  • I get the context menu after using firfox as my browser: Exc in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

    In the last few days I've been doing the following popup when I use firefox as my browser: Exc in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

    I guess it comes from your last update. I have windows vista with a 64-bit processor, and I use the latest version of firefox. I checked to see if I was getting the same error message with explore and I'm not. It seems to be some sort of conflict with java script. This can be corrected?

    You have to remove and re - install anything. I had the same problem and simply disabled the McAfee Siteadvisor module without deleting. I then restarted Firefox and the problem was solved.

    But here's the important part: I reactivated the add-on and then restarted Firefox twice. The problem is not returned!

    Just so disable, reboot, re-enable and restart. It worked for me!

  • Variable with a value. «PURGE error: bad Argument Type.»

    
    

    Hi, my 50G calculator accuses a value for the variable 'X' but I can't find it in any directory, and when I try to delete I get the message "' PURGE error: bad Argument Type." " I also have the theta variable with the same problem. How can I remove the value of these variables? TKS

    In addition to Make suggestions, two other possibilities come to mind: 'X' can be a directory object (which would cause the error to the wrong Type of Argument because non-empty directory objects cannot be purged by PURGE, but must be purged by PGDIR), or it could be a local variable (which can only be served by putting an end to the environment that created which is usually a program).  So if Make suggestions don't work, try foster 'X' PGDIR and if that does not work, try KILL (which ends all the current environments).

    If those WHO do not work, please do 'X' TYPE HOME and tell us what object type 'X'.

    DISCLAIMER: I do not work for HP; I'm a happy user of HP Calculator.

    This is caused by viruses or other such pest that is already active on your computer, or which may have been badly removed (deleted without removing his boot entry).
