Error Msg: "there was a problem sending the command to the program" when you use a shortcut for FireFox
This only happens when I use a shortcut to call Firefox. I am running Windows 7 Professional. The Firefox window opens after the error message occurs, so I would class this as a gene.
Many help comments mention 'ddeexec' removal of Firefox registry entries. It worked for a while (it seems to be related to updates of Firefox), but now no longer works: ddeexec is removed, but the error message persists.
I found a fix for Win 7 (x 64) based on two observations:
1. the waiting period does not exist if Firefox is already running.
2. There are (at least) two types of shortcuts: Application and URL. When Firefox is the default browser, shortened URL get a timeout message. A the application shortcut to Firefox works without any problem.
Follow these three steps to create a new shortcut that runs Firefox with the URL as a command:
1. create a shortcut to the Application either by copying an existing shortcut, or right-click on the desktop, select new | Contextual and choose the location of Firefox.exe.
2. then right click to open the new shortcut, properties. On the shortcut tab, you will find:
Target: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe.
Start in: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox".
3. copy the URL address, type a space after the quotation marks of the target and paste that URL, it should look like this:
Target: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla ' http://postini.com
I used a short URL to this example to fit on a single line, but the useful commands can be much longer; for example:
https://login.Postini.com/exec/[email protected]
The second example opens a connection to Postini spam filter window and between your email for you. Below is a screenshot of a tab popup properties shows in the middle of the target where Firefox ends the line, and the URL starts.

Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.
For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.
Hope this helps.

I just uploaded the site via the built in ftp upload in muse he then uploaded successfully. When I go in the edition of the browser and enter the name of the site (mernaliddawi.com) it says then this "there was a problem reading the file of Adobe Muse CC manifest for the site. Since Adobe Muse CC use file > load on the FTP host... to export the new site. ' I then exported the site again, but it still does not work also, I went my hosting provider file manager and deleted the file muse_mainfest.xml and then re uploaded still no chance. " How can I fix this thank you, james.
You need to transfer your domain to your new site. At present, the URL http://mernaliddawi.com/ is a web page that encapsulates the http://mernaliddawicom.ipage.com/ in a frameset. This isn't how a domain is successfully transferred. He doesn't bother with editing in the browser, will prevent redirection to versions Tablet and phone of your site (if you create), and can cause other problems.
If you enter mernaliddawicom.ipage.com to inbrowserediting.adobe.com it will not work, because this is the URL where your site is currently hosted.

T400: Error Message - there was a problem connecting to the TPM secure
Hello
I am a new user of ThinkPad. I just got my T400 a week ago, and I'm a fan of him immediately. But there's this little thing that really bothers me. The second day I used my laptop, I got this error message: "There was a problem connecting to the module of TPM (safety device) on this computer", and I got this message since that date, every time I turn on my laptop. What it means? And how do I get rid of this error message? Thank you!
Moderator Note: Type + error message added to the line object for clarity.
go into the bios and check if the TPM secure is enabled or disabled in the BIOS. Make sure it's on. If the problem persists then call Lenovo, could be a hardware problem.

There was a problem creating the destination folder. If please check the permission of folder or choose a different folder. What that means, tried to name several different folders, but still the same error message. Would be grateful for the help!
This means that the folder you want to create is blocked because of file permissions. The drive or folder you are trying to create the destination folder is set to read-only, and your username does not have write permissions.
