• I get an error "unable to load XPCOM. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but how to save my favorites?

  I get an error "unable to load XPCOM. I know that I can reinstall Firefox, but when I went to do that he erased all my favorites that I did a system restore. How to backup my bookmarks?

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  Hi Don,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  I would recommend that you start your computer in safe mode and see if you can remove it from there.

  HOW TO START YOUR COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE:

  Remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

  Click Start, Shut Down, and then, in the drop-down list, select restartand click OK.

  Do one of the following:

  If your computer has a single operating system installed, repeatedly press the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again.

  If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  In the Display Options Options Advanced startup, use the arrow keys to select the safe mode option you want and press ENTER

  Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

  When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of the screen. To leave safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

  If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need further assistance.

  Hi kristieann,

  ·         What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?

  You can search for any third-party application, using your favorite search engine to split the recording file.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• I've got LR 5.7 and I installed (Windows 7/64) profile of color ICC Blurb but I cannot use it to create a copy for proofing. How can I do?

  I've got LR 5.7 and I installed (Windows 7/64) profile of color ICC Blurb but I cannot use it to create a copy for proofing. How can I do?

  Blurb profile is CMYK, and so does not test in Lightroom. Having said that, really, you don't want to use their profile for nothing because they use a lot of different printers and that a profile will probably not represent the printer that is actually used, so it is useless and could lead you to the wrong path. Expect variability in reproduction of the color of their share even if you send the same task twice. Nothing you can do to control that unfortunately. Wobertc advice is spot on. Don't worry if you ship it directly from LR. Use sRGB if you export images to use in another page layout program. Forget proofing for this service.

• I am unable to get the computer manufacturer to send the disc to reinstall Vista. I tried to do this task almost 3 weeks. I need to reinstall Vista so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Please help me. I have the product code.

  I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version.  Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.

  To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.

  Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Is there anyway that I can restore my computer on the first day I got it?

  I have Windows Vista and my sister used to have this and she has so much unnecessary programs here. And I want to go back to the beginning.

  Hello KeatonCruz,

  You should be able to return your PC to factory conditions. Usually a new PC comes with either a partition of ora hidden drive recovery on the hard drive that contains an image of your operating system. If your PC is equipped with a recovery disc (or set of disks), you can use those. If it has a hidden partition, then you must use this option. You will need to check your PC user's guide to learn how to restore to factory conditions. There is suually one set of instructions in the user guide that tells you what to do.

  If you do not have the user's guide try Web site of the manufacturer of the PC for instructions. I'm sorry that I can't be precise with instructions. Different manufacturers have different ways to restore the system back.

  If you bought your PC from a retailer, you may, as an alternative, as their technical support for the information.
