COM errors in Firefox

Postby paul_1149 » 28 May 2009 23:37

Hi,

I'm running the 0.9.9 version. Since installing it I've been getting COM errors whenever the Firefox plugin tries to stream. Says something like "an application has incorrectly loaded COM files". At first it would cause FF to exit, but lately that has not been the case.

Thanks for any insight,
Paul

Are you sure about the error message? Because Google only returns this thread as result if I seek with "an application has incorrectly loaded COM files"

No, that wasn't the exact wording. I'll need to wait until the error reoccurs and post it verbatim. Typically it's with embedded non-flash audio or video.

Ok, I just ran into the error. Here's the dialog box:

Code: Select all

Runtime Error! Program: c:\com\firefox\firefox.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information. [ OK ]
Here's the page that tripped the error:

http://www.read-the-bible.org/ListenMt6v9.html

And here's the source of that page, showing it's calling for an embedded .mp3:

Code: Select all

<html> <head><title>Listen to Matthew 6:9</title> <meta name=="description" content="Hear Matthew 6:9 in Greek"> <meta name="keywords" content="Bible, biblical, language, languages, Koine, Matthew, Greek, New Testament, Lord's Prayer, audio, sound"> <meta http-equiv="Copyright" content="Susan Jeffers -- 2002"> <meta http-equiv="Reply-to" content="susan@read-the-bible.org"> <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="main.css"> </head> <body> <embed src="Audio/mt6v9.mp3"/> <h2>Matthew 6:9</h2> <p><font face="Galilee" size=5>ou{twV ou\n proseuvcesqe uJmei:V.</font></p> <p><font face="Galilee" size=5>pavter hJmw:n oJ ejn toi:V oujranoi:V,</font></p> <p><font face="Galilee" size=5>aJgiasqhvtw to; o[vnoma sou.</font></p> <br> </body> </html>
I'm running Firefox 3.0.10 on Win XP sp3.
Thanks,

Here's the VLC part of A:P.

BTW, the email notification for this thread specced a secure https://.... URL, and both FF and IE reports that the certificate is not valid. I got here by removing the s from the protocol. First time I can remember this happening.

There are a lot of them.... This is in addition to the VLC section posted above.
Thanks,

Ok, on Preview there is a problem. The last column, Enabled, is cut off. This is not the case in the originals or in the uploaded files at photobucket. I don't know how to resolve that, so I'm also including the direct photobucket links first.
