Try to rename the profile, now cannot start FF because it says it is already running

So I wanted to rename the profile from my laptop. I went in the profile menu (on the laptop not Firefox) and finished by unchecking and rechecking the "read only"box. ". After that, Firefox would give an error saying that she could not access the security on the boot files. I searched Mozilla page and followed the instructions to rename profiles with no luck, restarts (multiple) no luck, profile deleted and built a new, no luck, deleted secmod and cert files with no luck. Uninstalled FF 8.01 installed completely and 3.6.3 (I think) and now it won't start because it says it is already running. I'm also getting a flag of Internet Eplorer telling me that another program has tried to change my search engine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oops, something went wrong in this post. You don't have to rename a profile on the disc folder, if that's what you did to get the error "already running."

  • After you rename the data file, cannot start database

    Oracle 11 g 2
    OEL 5 (ASM)
    Network infrastructure (cluster install) - no CARS yet

    Something interesting happened. Perhaps this question might be more suited to the "ASM" section, but that's.

    I gave a data in ASM file an alias with the following command (the ASM instance):
    SQL> alter diskgroup DATA add alias '+DATA/oradb/datafile/users01.dbf' for '+DATA/oradb/datafile/users.253.795630487';
    
    Diskgroup altered.
    Then, as mentioned in Note: 564993.1, we need to update the database as well with the new alias. However, when I went to the stopping and starting of the database, I received the following:
    SQL> shutdown immediate;
    Database closed.
    Database dismounted.
    ORACLE instance shut down.
    SQL> startup mount;
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    It's strange. Nothing has changed except the alias being added to the data file. This is all before operation. That's happened?

    I think that it may have to do with the different ASMOPER, ASMADMIN, ASMDBA groups that have been installed as part of the installation of the grid Infrastructure. In addition, the listener is running out of the GI home.

    All my variables environment (e.g. ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, etc.) are defined.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    When you connect with tnsnames alias while the database is down the listner did not know the service, so you must start the database on the server database with sqlplus / as sysdba. After starting the registry of data base with the listener and your connection works again.
    Alternativ you can add a service to your listener.ora to connect with him while he is arrested, as long as you do not have it you must use local connect which means sqlplus / as sysdba.

  • Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows

    Hello

    Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.

    I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).

    Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.

    Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.

    Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.

    Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.

    Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files?  So not go one more away.

    Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.

    I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?

    I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?

    Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and your efforts to resolve the issue is highly appreciated.

    According to the description of the problem, you cannot start your Windows 7 computer. This could be if there is a corruption of system files or boot files are missing or damaged.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

  • Firefox, or the Profile Manager will start. In my task manager, the process uses 50% of my cpu but does nothing. I like browsing with firefox, how do I fix?

    I tried to restart my computer, the I tried to uninstall and reinstall uninstall, delete all files of firefox and folders, then reboot and then reinstall. Also, I tried to open the Profile Manager to edit my profile. After you have reinstalled several times and try to open the Profile Manager before launching firef0x, I got the firefox crashed window and the process in the Task Manager always uses 50% of my cpu. The most recent strike and then re - download gives me an error "the file is corrupt" and will not even install the program.

    Kill the process that you see, including any plugincontainer.exe, only once firefox has stopped running don't try to update.

    Completely unexpected instances of firefox running can sometimes be the result of malware activity.

  • How to rename the profile folders?

    Original title: How can I change the name of the user accounts on the C drive? no option to rename for her. I just want to put my real name instead of the name that was put in when I bought the pc. Thank you!

    The folder that referring to IM has been one that has a padlock under the user folder in the drive c. I want to just put my real name on the record. Thank you!

    What you refer to, is not the name of the user account, but the name of your profile folder. Here are a few options to align it with your real name:

    • Create a new account, this time under your own name, and then transfer your files and folders in front of the old profile folder. It is the recommended option.
    • The registry hack, then rename the profile folder then in Safe Mode. It is a demanding process that requires good PC skills at a maintenance level, including familiarity with the console controls.
