On the start menu, the "Getting Started" application has no arrow to his right, his party!

I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic 64 bit pre installed on my Sony VAIO. Whenever I go into the menu to start, the earlier application is still "Getting Started" and there always an arrow to its right. When I move the mouse on the "Getting Started", a submenu appears on the side still with applications like to experience Windows 7, customize Windows etc. After about 20 days (from the 1st day, I opened my new VAIO), the arrow is automatically spent.

Can you please tell me why does this happen? All other applications as Word 2010 has its right arrow that shows me recently opened documents, but where is the arrow of "Getting Started" went? The last thing I do on my computer is the main application of Office Starter 2010 to open and install it.

There are some that will hide your files/folders so that you don't normally see them. I strongly suggest to run a scan on your computer with your antivirus/antimalware software. If you need to, you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:

  • Since upgrading to FireFox 6, I can't start Firefox in Avast Sandbox - get the error "this application has failed to start because xul.dll not found." Firefox works well outside Avast Sandbox.

    The error box has the right
    Firefox.exe - Unable to locate component.
    He suggests reinstalling might fix the problem, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox a number of times and no change.

    problem is Firefox works outside the sandbox avast, but inside the sandbox, xul.dll file is not found

    It is solved with these steps... some may be unnecessary
    (1) uninstalled Firefox
    (2) downloaded the latest version of FF (6.02) and installed
    (3) open the Avast user interface > extra Protection (in Avast v6) > Sandbox > Expert settings (button) > Web browsers > (in maintenance) "remove content" (button)
    (4) disconnected from Windows
    (5) connected and Firefox started in the sandbox

    It might be that the first 2 steps are not needed... but that's what I did and the problem was solved. As you can see in the screenshot, Firefox is virtualized successfully

I tried at first installation/bar of Firefox version 28, and that seemed to work well. Version 36 gives error that I said in the question. It is not essential that I run the * last * version of Firefox (the browser is ONLY used for an intranet application), but I would like to install the latest version that will work, and if there is a simple solution for this version, I want to explore that.

  • Error "this application has failed to start because normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Original title: error explorer.exe, Normaliz.dll is missing please help me about the issue.

    Hello

    I get the error "this application has failed to start because normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"Please help me!

    Well - so much for the expertise of committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts', but no answer to what I expected.

    See how it works for you:

    If you see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    It is in the case Log:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Application Popup
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 26
    Description:

    Application popup: Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Start explorer.exe, but the normaliz.dll file.  If explorer.exe is not able to run, you will not be able to do much with your system until the replacement of normaliz.dll.

    You can click OK for errors and finished up in the Task Manager where you can try to fix it.  The message can keep popping up from time to time, while you're fixing it, so just click OK to close the message.

    If normaliz.dll is missing, you can copy it from a working system to the system afflicted with the same version of XP and Internet Explorer.

    You will get a good copy and put it on a floppy disk, thumb drive etc and copy it to your system plagued by using Manager tasks.

    The normaliz.dll file must be located in the c:\windows\system32 folder and therefore is not a Windows file protected, making the Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' suggest running sfc/scannow, which is just another one of their prosecution of wild goose that will not work, he'll never work and it will only waste your time (and they don't tell you how to run either - if explorer.exe does not start).

    Then engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'experts' will offer to you develop a copy of the file from the XP installation CD you probably haven't, but it is also not on your XP installation CD, and you will have the same problem try their suggestions to 'try' to start in any any Mode without failure, so this will not help you.  These "experts" seem to think that the Safe Mode boot or boot will replace magically missing files, but it doesn't.

    You also will be able to properly run a browser on the system afflicted to go on Internet download one.

    There is a large computer security risk in the normaliz.dll from some website download.  The best idea is to get a copy of normaliz.dll from another computer that has the same version of XP and IE and replace it from a USB device (which you can access from the Manager tasks), or using a system that works, you can download one of my SkyDrive.

    You can still use the Task Manager to run the system restore and bring it back, but I've never tried and never use SR in all cases.

    If you have recently done a bunch of Microsoft updates, you may have also gotten IE8 so maybe that something was wrong here although the normaliz.dll is the same for each version.

    When you see the error, you can click beyond it and eventually arrived at your screen background image where you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL to start Task Manager. TM, you can click file, new task, Browse and edit the menu drop-down "Files of type" to all files that you can see all the files in folders.

    Go to c:\windows\system32 to see if normaliz.dll is really missing. If the error appears again while browsing, just click OK to get past it.  The explorer.exe tries to run and cannot until the missing file is replaced.

    If it's the only thing missing, you can get one from a working system of the same type as yours, copy on a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and always using TM, to browse, copy and paste it where it should be or you can download one of my SkyDrive.

    TM, you can still access your thumb or any other medium the same disk by navigating, copy, paste, etc very well all work.  You use TM to navigate to your thumb or floppy disk, copy the normaliz.dll good and then paste it in the c:\windows\system32 folder, where it is supposed to be.

    If things get worse, just return to TM and remove the file back where you were in first place and continue troubleshooting.

    Using a system that works, you can also download a copy of the file from my SkyDrive and put it on a floppy or USB thumbdrive and networks diskettes for the distressed system.  Sandalenet means wear you the system afflicted by hand.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called normaliz when the name of the file should really be called normaliz.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

    It seems that if the application has been downloaded on his iPad while it is connected to your Apple ID. If so, he'll always want to be updated with your Apple ID.

    You must remove the application from his iPad and then download it again while it is connected to its own code of Apple.
