  • When you try to reset or uninstall I get a message saying I have to restart to complete the installation of a previous version. Any suggestions?

    After downloading v25.0.1, FF has been slow. I tried the reset, but it would give me the message that I have to restart to complete the installation of a previous version. I tried to uninstall, but the version on the list was v 21. I received the same message when you try to uninstall. I want to upgrade to v 25.0.1, but something prevents the process.

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

    Make sure that your security software (antivirus) is not blocking files, preventing Firefox update all files in the Firefox program folder.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    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.

    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 make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • I sent a document to sign using echosign. When I try to open the document, I get a message that says the script is busy. What can I do

    as said in the question, I was sent a document to the signature using echosign. When I try to open it, a screen pops up saying script is busy. I have the choice to continue or cancel. I chose to continue and nothing happens. a message left next to Mozilla Firefox indicating does not. Yet once the same screen on script appears again. If I use Internet Explorer, it will open. But I don't want to use I / E. Also, I go to a site called hpcau and the log in page appears. When I try to log in, my information disappears and the journal is empty. What can I do?

  • When I try to open Windows Mail, I get a message saying that it cannot be opened because it is already running.

    original title: Windows Mail stop working

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail has stopped working. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that Windows Mail cannot be opened because another instance of it is already running.  (the same manager thought of tasks shows no mail running Windows).

    I tried to restart my computer several times. I tried running Windows update that tries to install Internet Explorer but I get an error code 5.  My antivirus software is up-to-date.  Can anyone help? I miss my Windows Mail :(

    Try to go to start | Search and type in msconfig and then disable the startup items and reboot and see if you get the same error.  It could be due to interference antivirus.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 you can also try compacting and repairing the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), but I don't think that is the issue because another program seems to be from WinMail.  It could also be due to Windows Search indexing messages, so if you have it turned on, then go to control panel | Filtering options (I think it's location) and delete WinMail indexing courses.

  • I'm filling a Russian visa and when I try to open the file to print, the message is cfm file and asks me to find an application to open it but none will.

    Visa guard download for print or save file but I can't open it. A box opens asking me to choose an application to open the cfm file.

    It is most likely a server problem, not a browser problem. Web server, processing of your visa application is probably not correctly configured to manage scripts (.cfm files) of cold fusion. I suggest that you contact regardless of the authorities you need to obtain the documents that you can complete manually, or alert the server administrator web management of the visa application. Yet once, most likely a server problem, not a browser issue.
