Every time I open a file in Media Player 11, I get a dialog box telling me that Windows Installer is "preparation for installation.
Whenever I open a file in Microsoft Media Player 11, (11.0.5721.5280) I get a dialog box telling me that Windows Installer is "preparation for installation.
He tell me what it is trying to install and crashes
No media plays back.
Cancellation does not - it retrys with encouraging them. The only way to get rid of the dialogue is Ctrl/Alt/Del and end task. It also closes WMP11
SP3 Win XP32
I just installed Office 10
I ran the repair of Office 10
I uninstalled WMP11 and reinstalled
I ran "Fix IT" page Support MS
I run MS Security Essentials... It is to this day and I run a full scan
I think you meant:
"a. initially, box run, type"msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER."
I did and it helped somewhat. Message anyway, but he went and the media played.
If I did:
"(b) then type" msiexec/regserver"and press ENTER."
The problem comes back
I went a step further and ran a restoration of the system to the day, I installed Office - it worked.

Why the auditor of plug pop up every time I open fire Fox?
Since yesterday every time I open the Fire Fox the auditor plugin mozilla loads in a tab (in addition to my home page set). How can I disable this?
You can correct this problem by forcing the blocklist.xml file to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.
This update will remove the gravity = '0' flags in the file that causes the problem.See:

The error message that there is a script that has stopped working and asks if I want to continue or debug. Every time debugging and even then sometimes it crashes. What is causing this and making it disappear. Very tedious and boring.
It's strange. Debugs another window open when you choose? In General, only Web site developers will generally want to use Debug because only the developer would be able to actually solve the problem, whatever it is. Stop is an option?
Next time you see this, you could grab a screenshot of the error dialog box? This article has tips on how to do this: How to make a screenshot of my problem? - or you might be able to use Alt + PrintScreen to retrieve the dialog box, and then paste it into a program like paint of image editing.

How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.
I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.
Thanks in advance
First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version
