i found a error hiding behind my browser and it told me that SSL was disabled, but after following the troubleshooting and enabling the SSL... no dice.

I've been running Win7 for over a month now, and I haven't run into a single problem yet. Shocking, I know - considering how much I abuse my system.

I was running the RC up untill yesterday and had no problems. This is really starting to piss me off...because, IE works fine....and firefox doesn't.

Try installing portable firefox to your desktop or something and see if that works.

Nope.....
Recently I got this message

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

how do i fix this? I only have 10GB used / 200GB so its not full...

make sure you're using an admin account when you installed firefox?

I would assume that he's the admin because he said he installed it himself.

allright. I REFORMATTED my laptop HDD and then SPENT 1.5 HOURS OF MY LIFE talking to a IDIOT in India who didn't understand what I meant by a BSOD and reformatting. After getting redirected twice. I had my key changed into a full version not upgrade (apparently you can not do a clean install w/o a hour and a half of of BS) and now everything works flawlessly.

I didn't bother for upgrade, just copied my HDD right away on an external and went for the clean install (it was an upgrade disc, so it was cheaper. All I had to do was reinstall XP first, then Win7 on top of that).

I was not going to install vista >_>

As soon as I got my laptop with Vista on it, I downgraded to Xp right away. And dual booted with linux. Damn Vista crashed on me 3 times the first day - with just Firefox running.

Never use vista. It is a Twisted Evil

Btw, my parents' laptop had an upgrade from Vista to 7 and everything worked. But we use Internet Explorer, not firefox on it.

For shame. Chrome's a good browser too if you haven't used it. It may not have the customability of Firefox, but it has raw speed.

True. But sometimes it's hard to convince our elders to switch (my dad) Laughing
