Vista - Firefox Vista problems

09-09-2008

I have installed firefox 3 for my new vista operated machine. I get the
following error message:

Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable
cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please
check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive
is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and
fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see
incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features.

I have tried following the steps suggested by Mozilla such as editing the
user profiles, which has not worked. The programme will not even open for me
without crashing.

I have tried other browers and they do not even install.

I am convinced that this is a problem with Vista - that it's somehow
conflicting with the browsers.

I have tried to ask for remote assistance over MSN and this also does not
work!

How can I fix these problems to make Vista work?

I much prefared XP - it was far far easier to use and all my software worked
with it.

Try a newsgroup that is appropriate to your question. This one is about
programming in Microsoft's .NET programming environment.

What makes you think It's Vista and not Firefox?
To ask questions about Vista, locate a Vista group to post in. Here's how...

As you appear to be using a web interface:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
find the Windows Vista category . Open it and find a group for your
question.

Because it happens with ALL other browsers. And because I have tried the
same browsers on an old XP machine and they work there.
