I updated to the newest version, it requires a restart to finish, tried repeatedly,but always takes to requires restart,how to fix?
After downloading FF latest version which requires restart to finish, the new vs. just will not load. Everytime I try to open the FF Icon, I get the same restart required window. My PC runs WinXP, XP suggested the following:
Resolutions 1. Register the following files Click Start. Choose Run. In the Run box, type regsvr32 Softpub.dll. Click OK. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the following files: Wintrust.dll, Initpki.dll, Mssip32.dll.
For more information on this issue and alternate resolution please click on the Microsoft Knowledge Base link below.
First command was fine, the remaining 3 all open up FireFox popup window requiring restart.
it appears the FF update damaged or failed to load these dll links.
how do i fix it? I hate having to use IE.
