  • Why Windows cannot start the Firefox Service on Local computer?

    Hello, Tech Savvy people-
     
    For some strange reason, the message in the title is what I get when I look under Services in administrative tools.
    I am told:
    Windows could not start the Service of Firefox in the Local computer
    Error3: the system does not have the selected path.

    I did a full scan of my files (sfc/scannow) and my drive (chkdsk); completed a full virus
    In addition, malware scan and all the so-called runs along fine.

    But Firefox 12 needs several clickings of surface, and when it finally arrived, several minutes.
    Boring.

    No idea why my local network or Local computer cannot start Firefox?
    Can anyone suggest how I could get my system to find this path?

    Firefox used to mount quickly enough, and my other browser, IE9 still does, even though I don't like
    using IE and for about 3 years found Firefox generally to be a superior browser.
    Feel a little miserable if I go back to IE.

    Thank you for answering this aggravation.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

    You are running a third part of the internet security solution? Many of them include a firewall that is clean and disable the Windows Firewall. If this is the case, you should first disable this one before the attempt to initialize the Windows Firewall. It is not advisable to attempt to run two firewalls at the same time.

    If you have recently deleted (uninstalled) a third party solution, you may need to run a cleanup this provider of software tool to remove any debris WASTE of this program in order to activate the Windows Firewall.
