Firefox Just DISAPPEARED Overnight!
Apr 5, 2008
Yesterday Firefox was working fine, I just booted up today though to find the shortcut on the desktop had been replaced by an unknown file icon. Strange...so I went to the program folder to open it from there but the ENTIRE program folder has completely disappeared!
I am the only person to have used this computer and I know I did not delete or move the folder or uninstall the program. What could have caused this? My pc is Virus-free. Is there a way restoring it with all my settings and bookmarks? I'm a bit concerned because IE7x86 hasn't been working for me for some time so I only have IE7x64 working....for now

I use the latest version of Firefox. I will get a message saying that I'm in unsecure mode, and the way to fix it is to install a program from Microsoft (attached is a screenshot). However, even though it says that it's from Microsoft, if I double click it, it says it's from an unknown publisher.... what gives? And if I keep running the stupid AV and spyware bull, then why does this keep happening?

I am running a Vista 64-bit platform with a VMware guest, using Vista 32-bit. Although I have Windows Defender running in the guest system, I have not had any anti-virus software (I use McAfee on the host system). Last night, I downloaded and installed the AVG-free anti-virus software for the guest system. It was working as intended when I shut down the computer.
This morning, in booting to the guest system, there is no AVG software in sight. The downloadable program from AVG is not even found in the Downloads folder! Windows Defender is still operable, and telling me that I do not have an anti-virus program installed.

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 OEM without any issues, until now.
Yesterday my computer was running just fine, but now, all of the sudden, it seems like it doesnt want to cooperate.
Here's a small list of thumbnails to make telling my story a whole lot easier:
1) On startup - nothing appears out of the ordinary..
2) Starting firefox results in nothing but a blank page.
3) Closing firefox results in error.
4) Opening up Binary Newsreader = errors.
5) Closing Binary Newsreader = more errors.
6) Opening FTP app results in similar errors.

[1] Socket operation on nonsocket(10038)
So my question to you, wise and noble users of Vistax64.com - what can I do to resolve these problems?
As mentioned earlier, I had *no* issues with my system yesterday.

Core2Duo E6600 @ 2.4 GHz

I've been running Firefox 3 Beta 5 for a few weeks on Vista Home Premium. I started to get a message saying that Firefox couldn't be started because it was already running. Kill the process or reboot. Upon investigation in the Task Manager, Firefox is not running as an application or process?

I just got vista 64bit and Mozilla Firefox keeps crashing on me.
I've heard there are some compatibility issues with Firefox and 64bit windows.
Is there a patch out, a windows tweak or an alternate version of Firefox out to solve this issue?
Another application I'm having trouble installing is Flash CS4, It keeps preparing the install files to a temp folder and then tells me that it needs to close and to check the destination drives disk space/ write protection settings.
(note the destination drive has over 400gb left on it!)

ok so i use vista home premium, have firefox installed. I cannot download anything using firefox or IE. whenever i do try to download the download window comes up and downloads all the way. I do not use desktop as the place where files are placed so it doesnt get cluttered, but it is in a folder on the desktop.
When it is done downloading there is nothing in the folder. It will be there while downloading ( and i can do anything with it), but when the download finishes the file dissapears and is unable to be found anywhere. It is not hidden or anything. I've done full advanced computer searches and the file cannot be found. I have AVG, but it is disabled.
I am in a few college classes and another problem that i am having is that when i try to take my homework off the site (usually in a .zip or .doc format), i have an error that comes up saying Cannot open C:UsersRyan'sAppdataLocalTempStudentDownload.zip (or .doc) this is a HUGE!!!problem as i cannot afford to run back and forth to the college everyday trying to get my homework done.

Every time an update comes out for FF 3.6, even though I have Firefox unchecked in the Update settings, it will ask me to update. Not just on startup, but just any old time. It's gettin' old fast!

The other night I come home from work late. I go to check my email and non-sense...but can't. Internet Explorer starts to crash..a lot. So, I found someone to send me Firefox the next day (I couldn't keep IE open long enough to do anything, half the time it didn't even open before the crash msg came up.) Still FF crashes. I don't know what the problem is..or was, it seems to be doing ok right now, first time I've actually been able to keep my browser open long enough to do something..I'm afraid to close it in case it doesn't work again. So..here are the
reports, first the IE and then the FF.
Problem signature
Problem Event Name:APPCRASH
Application Name:iexplore.exe
Application Version:7.0.6001.18000
Application Timestamp:47918f11
Fault Module Name:StackHash_40d4................

i can't stand ie, but lately whenever i need to hear anything it's my only option. no sound works on firefox period. even when i use the add-on that switches firefox to ie in the firefox browser, same problem. i think it might have worked when this computer was new but i could be wrong. and if it did it was only for a very short time.

If you go to Softpedia.com and click the Windows button you'll see an announcement and download links for Firefox 3.6 RC1. I just put it on both my PCs(W7 32 bit and Vista64 SP1.) Those running GradientIcool Blue theme may have to reload/reinstall the theme. After I did that using FEBE addon, my AddOn buttons showed in the status bar again. It passed my litmus tests. The pop-down descriptions on TV Guide site work, Silverlight video works on Netflix, and my AutoCopy AddOn copies. So far I haven't found any quirks or bugs.

basically as the subject says, Firefox 2.0.0.9 seems to run really slow on Vista, IE7 and Netscape 9.0RC1 seem to run really fast but for some reason Firefox just lags. I've searched the Internet but not really found much, few of the suggestions suggest netsh interface tcp set global autotuning disabled but that hasn't done much, they say run as an administrator which I do by right-clicking cmd and selecting run as administrator, not sure if I'm doing this right, not really sure how to run my machine as an administrator.

I backed up my files onto CD (work files). Made a number of CDs. I'm on dell inspiron 9300, w/ xp and did an upgrade to vista using an in place install. My understanding was that the programs AND files were to be carried over onto the new OS. All of my programs and applications stayed. But my files...gone! can't find any of them. And all but one of my CDs are good--except that for some reason the most important files are in an empty folder on one of the CDs, many months worth of work related documents- I must have messed it up when backing it up. Is there anyway to find the files that vista was supposed to keep? I picked up an external hard drive today when I realized how little space I had left but not soon enough to use it to back up before.

I bought a new ASUS M51SN laptop last month running Windows Vista. I have subsequently loaded MS Office 2003, Skype, Norton SystemWorks and NERO8. I recently upgraded Vista with SP1, Nero, Skype and Norton to their latest versions and the ASUS Bios to 304. While I had a number of software problems prior to these upgrades, I placed my faith in the Vista upgrade, but am still left with a number of irritating problems.
My DVD burner has disappeared from Windows and Norton while Nero is still happy to test it (Diskspeed). The device manager says everything is good, but I cannot see the DVD in either Windows Explorer or My Computer. In the event log, I can see that the unit has encountered a number of bad block events, as well as a number of errors during a paging operation...............

Yesterday just before switching off I noticed that SP2 was available via Windows Update. As I was going to bed, I thought I would leave it until today to install it. When I go to Windows Update, SP2 is no longer offered, although some other updates were. SP2 hasn't been installed, so where has it gone? Will it be offered again?

I have an HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook with Vista Home Premium. The computer is just over a year old and the Pioneer DVDRW drive (DR-KD08HB) just stopped working. It no longer appears under Device Manager or Windows Explorer and the disk tray won't even open. I've had no problems with this drive before, it just seemed to die on me yesterday after I inserted a CD (which I can't retrieve). I ran the Microsoft Fix it 50027 but nothing happened. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

I have just installed vista onto a laptop using the dvd drive, but when it was all installed it hasn't seemed to install the dvd drive as it doesn't appear on my computer or device manager, just wondered if anyone knows a solution, I have tried to do the regedit thing but the files that need deleting aren't even there, want to put xp back on as the network adapter isn't working either as i think that it isn't compatible with Vista but can't seem to do it as when i try rebooting with the cd in the laptop isn't finding it, even when i got to setup to try and change boot default there is no cddvd drive option there

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and basically my files keep disappearing. I have saved them in the same way I used to on Windows XP: I create some text files - straight forward Windows Word Processor - when I had about 6 I created a folder and dragged and dropped them into it. I uploaded photos which were also put in a folder and CDs likewise. After a period of 2 days to 2 weeks the CD uploads had disappeared and now after 1 month my text files and lots of picture files have also vanished, leaving behind the folders I created empty. The 'Sample Pictures' that came ready installed have also gone. Obviously I want to store things on the hard drive,

Several days ago some folders from My Documents folder just disappeared. The folders and files in it are really important for me and I was trying to recover is somehow but I found no clue for that. When I search for files it shows that they are on their original location but I cannot access them, they can just be on the Search index I suppose and it makes no s??ance. But I installed Undelete program to check if somehow it is deleted itself and from there I sow lost folders with only those files in the folders which I have deleted before and it is showing that the folder itself is not deleted.
