start failing after installing Windows XP firefox 12.0: error message: "the configuration is incorrect."

After clicking on the icon of Firefox, I get the error message "this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect".

I uninstalled Firefox and deleted all the Mozilla files in my user account in the Documents and Settings folder. I installed the latest version of Java. Then I installed Firefox 12.0.

I had this same problem when I updated my Firefox 11 to a later version of Firefox 11. I hadn't saved the old version of Firefox 11, and I couldn't find on the web, so I went back to Firefox 3.6. I am currently in Firefox 3.6.28.

I'd like suggestions on how I could get over this stumbling block.

Details of the configuration of my system:

Version Java 6 32

Name of the operating system Microsoft Windows XP Professional

Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600

System Type X 86-based PC

Processor x 86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~ 1867 Mhz

Total physical memory 048,00 MB 2

1.38 GB available physical memory

Total virtual memory 2.00 GB

Available virtual memory 1.96 GB

Page file space 3.84 GB

You can try to uninstall all entries of "Microsoft Visual C++" from the windows control panel and see if the error message disappears.

(where another program on your pc depends on execution, it will display a dialog box when you start this program and offers you to reinstall once again)

  • Each installation of the PATCH fails after installing Windows updates

    Hello

    I would like to report a problem, I think it's a bug of Windows introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I could not know who of them).

    Here's the test scenario:
    1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test computer
    2. install all the Windows updates available (so the system is up-to-date)
    3. create a sample MSI installer that installs only some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host on a web server

    4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:

    msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi

    5. create a. Patch MSP (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
    6 install the patch v1.0.1

    RESULT: the installation of the patch fails with the following error message: "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."

    NOTES:
    1. the question has replicated to Windows 7 and 8 machines updated
    2. the question is not replicated on a new install of Windows without updates applied

    Is anyone aware of what may cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows computers with the latest updates installed.

    It's not really answering your specific questions but most laptops come with a hidden restore partition that will put the laptop to a State "day one." Who can be the best option because it normally loads all the necessary drivers and applications too.

    If you have published or look for the brand and model of the user manual it will detail the recovery options. A reinstall like this formats the HARD drive and start again.

  • Computer OS used to start after installing windows 10

But then I tried to format the drive and in the menu format, he's stuck at 2%, and then I restarted the computer. Now it will hang at the hp logo and go back to the same logo. Do I have to replace my hard drive?

    What I understand, if you have completed the 10 Windows Installer and everything has happened until the end, then you are supposed to be able to do a clean install with the download of Windows 10 DVD or USB.  With a working computer, GO to THIS PAGEand scroll down to the button "download tool" selection the 64-bit version.  Once clicked, it will ask you if you want a DVD or USB for the iso.

    Once it's done and you have the DVD or the USB version, see if you can install Windows 10.  If this fails, you may need to replace the hard drive.

  • SD card is not working properly after installing windows 10

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) with EL Capitan 10.11.5 and after I installed 10 windows using bootcamp, everything worked fine at first, but after I deleted my part of windows and then installed windows 10 the second time, the SD card is not working properly. She mounts only if the computer shuts down first, and then start. If I take the laptop directly, the SD card will not rise. The same thing happens when I switch systems using a control option key or bootcamp Center where when I switched to another system, the SD card that was mounted on the old system does not appear in the new system. I was trying to solve this problem remove the part of windows before you reinstall it again once, so I found that after I deleted the windows part, the problem is gone and it reappeared after installing windows 10 even once. I also found that after I installed windows the total volume of hard drive (128g front) became 121g.

    Hello LorinMax,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of your work with your Macbook Pro SD card!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot use your SD card, unless you stop and then restart. Because this behavior started when you installed Boot Camp, I would start with the following steps:

    1. first of all, start by repairing your hard disk in disk utility to correct the unexpected problems that could be the cause of this behavior.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    You can't really uninstall and reinstall OE without having to reinstall XP as OE is a part of it. I hope your foray into the registry does not require a reinstall of XP.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

    From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

    Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click continue.

    c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

    e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

    Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

    f. close the registry editor.

    g. restart the computer.

    Method 2:

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

  • Problems of Jet 7 HP recovery after installing Windows 10 TP

    Hi all

    A month ago I bought the HP Jet 7. Soon after receiving it, I installed Windows 10 TP, without first create and save an Image of the system to an external drive recovery. While playing with Windows 10 TP, suddenly the touch screen doesn't work anymore, as well as WLAN. The SD card is not recognized eiter (and I can't boot from it). I now can with Windows only when you attach an external USB keyboard. I can't get into the BIOS (power-Volume-down).

    I tried to go back to Windows 8.1, so far without success. I tried the regular Windows recovery mechanisms - all fail. When booting from a USB 2.0 with 8.1 32-bit of Windows Installer source attached to a USB hub powered by bus, at least, I'm able to boot, and I see that your partition 4 is a recovery partition. Yet, when you mount the partition (via DISKPART) to check for recovering images in the 'Images of Windows' folder I only get "access denied".

    Does anyone have tips on how to do to get my stream of HP 7?

    Thanks for reading!

    / Maurice

    Hi all

    After you remove all of the partitions and create the recommended UEFI/GPT partition , I was finally able to install Windows USB 8.1. I guess the reason for all the facilities prior to failure were remnants of W10 Technical Preview (for example, recovery or similar tools). So in short: I had to wipe the hard drive to a successful downgrade.
