Firefox users....

Has happend to me before, have noooo idea what that is??

 

Art. do you have AIM. if so send me a message. CHRLSSTYLES.

 

just delete the default profile and then recreate it. Then check the box next to automatically log on to that one next time. Something you did accidentally corrupted your old profile. Shouldn't affect anything though, so you should be fine.

 

Try going to
C:\Documents and Settings\______YOURNAME_____\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

There should be 2 folders, one for the new profile and one for the old. Copy the "bookmarks.html" from the old folder to the new one. If there's only 1 folder there then you're out of luck

 

whenever i get the box saying the firefox is already running and to pick a new screenname or something rather, i just push control alt delete. select firefox.exe. then click end program. open firefox, and all is well.

 

That's the solution.

 

Folks should backup (export) all e-mail address books, contact lists and favorites anyway, they should all fit on a floppy (remember them ?).

I can't count how many folks have called me asking how to recover stuff from failed hard drives. You generally can't.

My first bad experience was 9 years ago, when I lost 200 e-mail addresses (some VERY prominent racing people among them - my direct line to them), and over 2,000 website favorites. Luckily, I had copied them to a floppy, and then to a 2nd floppy. Yep - one of the floppies went bad, the second one rescued my a**.
