Interface not registered

<snip>Also, is it usual for IE updates like 9 and 10 to cause problems like the one I was facing?
I haven't seen anyone else post a similar problem. I don't know if it was a fluke or if the problem would re-occur if you reinstalled the updates. I run Win 7 (tho 32-bit) with IE 10 without problem
 
I report an unnerving experiment with Java carried out today. After taking a drive image (I'll come back to that !) I went to the Java foundation site and downloaded an install for Java. This resulted in not only the Java runtime being available for Firefox plug-ins, but also the Java Development plugin (as LookinAround discovered). There were many warnings about the insecurity of java plug-in too.

I then attempted to uninstall java,but found there was only an entry for the run time in the installed programs list. According to the Java foundation website, this is how you uninstall Java. So I did that, fully expecting both the run time and the development plugin to disappear. Well, Java disappeared from the programs installed list, and Java control disappeared from my system's control panel, but the development plugin remained visible in firefox, and could still be made available or not. So there appears, despite my best efforts to find one, no way to uninstall the java development plugin.

I was glad I had the foresight to take an image, as restoring that was the only way to clean my system. And I needed to after the mere fact of that plugin being there apparently made my PC practically fall to pieces. Many systems went back to default settings, even MS office, I especially lost the entire desktop settings provided by Classic Shell - enough to have me biting the carpet.....
 
Win 7 has a 'reliability monitor' program I only discovered today.
In the windows search box, start typing 'reliability' and click the program that pops up 'view reliability history'. In there very likely you will have nothing immediately visible because it will never have been configured, but find and click the link 'view all problem reports'. In that report are all the clues you are ever going to get.

See here http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/wi...=nl.e064&s_cid=e064&ttag=e064&ftag=TREe331754 for more details. Note this facility is in Win 7 although the article is about win 8

I am dumbfounded about the vast amount of useful stuff packed into Win 7 that nobody ever finds out about. Try for instance hold down the Windows key and tap the tab key......ever seen that before ?
 
Unfortunately my Control Panel does not respond when I click certain things such as "create new account" or "reliability monitor". Is there any way to fix this?
 
It's strangely hard to find a direct link to reliability monitor - does your windows search not work ? In my original post about this, the action is to press the windows key. Then in the bottom left-hand corner is the windows search box I referred to, and you just start typing into that. As soon as windows recognises something, it will pop up suggestions, and in my case 'reliability monitor' is the top of a list as soon as I type r e l

If that does not work, try this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20934-reliability-monitor-shortcut.html
 
My Windows search box will recognize it, but if I click on it nothing will happen. But that link you showed me worked like a charm. At least I know that the program itself is not the problem.
 
So at last you can start reliability monitor. And when you click the link 'View all problem reports' at the foot of the screen, is there anything suspicious (especally about java) ? I can only re-iterate what I said from the start - it is fairly likely that a problem with java lies at the root of your PC symptoms.

Can you check what is in your registry with the word java in it? Effectively there should be a minimum of a reference to runtime 7 which points to c:\program files\java and a reference to an updater and local java settings per user in c:\users\<username>\appdata\locallow\sun\java\jre1.7.0_17 (which might not be the same java, there being MS, Oracle etc)
 
Maybe if I show what's on the reliability monitor someone could probably tell me what might be wrong.(Untitled)

I noticed that I have Java 32 bit on my 64 bit system could that be a problem?(Untitled2)

Here is what I found when going through c:\users\<username>\appdata\locallow\sun\java\. (Untitled3)

I'm unsure if you have ever run the java uninstaller pointed out to you by LookinAround post#17 http://www.java.com/en/download/help/, but in my opinion you should do all you can to remove java entirely, then reboot, clean the registry etc before re-installing one and only one runtime, assuming that something you want to do lets you know you need to. Mixing 32- and 64- bit versions is probably bad news.

Cannot view your screen view of reliability problem reports. Can you post an enlargement of any section referring to java, IE or Firefox?
 
Interesting, I uninstalled Java again. And then I went through c:\users\<username>\appdata\locallow\sun\java\ and here is what I found. Shouldn't this be deleted? (Untitled1)

After some thought and more googling about the "interface not registered" message, I've come to a different guess. That error message is caused when a .DLL isn't registered (which is a Windows, not a java issue). Each google of a fix for that error message always seemed to end up needing to registering a missing dll file.

That said, I recalled once playing with a tool called "Dependency Walker" which finds all the dlls needed/called by a program. When I googled it and added the term firefox for the heck of it, look what I found!: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/quality/help/dependency-walker.html

Perhaps profiling FF using Depwalker will reveal a missing dll file that needs to be registered? I'll take a closer look and be back with instructions.

I'm always weary of trying to clean the registry by hand, so if/when you go that route suggest you first image your hard drive. But maybe it'll turn out to be a dll problem
 
The firefox hang you have provided is from two years ago. No use now.

Are you asking if the hangs of firefox and IE are significant? The answer is probably not - both browsers suffer hangs in everybody's PC from time to time, usually due to website problems. However, if you consistently get a hang when doing one specific action on any website - as may be the case with you - then you should certainly look for a reason for that, and the ability to look for dependencies has a good chance of finding the answer. Go for it !!

Not forgetting the 'standard' way of adding missing .dll's or correcting registrations, that anybody can manage, is just uninstall, reboot, then reinstall the package....
 
First, I need you to search and find the firefox executable file. It's named firefox.exe

It will be located somewhere under the Program Files folder. Please tell me the full path name for the file

Example: under 32-bit Windows the full path is
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe
But it's probably different under your 64-bit version of Windows 7
 
Oh. And one more thing... I just ran the tool on my own machine to see the results... and now I have another question.

Generate the error in Firefox again. Then look in the Windows Application Event Log. Are there error messages generated when the problem occurred? (note: If event log is open at the time of the error, close and re-open it to refresh it and see any new entries)

So when I went to c:\users\<username>\appdata\locallow\sun\java\

Shouldn't the java folder in that path have been deleted since I uninstalled java?

Okay, here is my path

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

In response to your event log question I can't seem to find any error messages concerning firefox.

Did SFC /SCANNOW ever get run to fix permissions and dependencies?

Yes, I ran the sfc scan and it found no violations.
 
Firefox may not be mentioned by name but I'm still curious to see your event log. Do the following

Re-create the FF error. Then download VEW. then right click VEW.exe click [FONT=Arial]Run as Administrator. [/FONT]When VEW opens,

Under Select log to query: select Application and System

Under Select type to list: select Error and Warning

Click the radio button for Number of events, Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button. It may take several seconds, Notepad will open with the output log.

In Notepad, click Edit> Select all
·Then press Edit > Copy
·Press Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste the log to your next reply

You still show java under your local user, and wonder why ?

yes, if you have run a java uninstall and earlier versions are still there, then javara might help. Either google it, or see here http://raproducts.org/javara.html and here http://sourceforge.net/projects/javara/
Another good tip is to use a better install manager, such as revo uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
It didn't remove it which is strange. Should I just remove it myself?
 
It didn't remove it which is strange. Should I just remove it myself?
Only by using javara. The reason is, if you remove applications which are still referenced in the registry and also marked 'must start' in there, then you will be unable to boot, with no idea why not.

That is unlikely to be the case, but with windows.......and java..........urgh

Javara should ensure any relevant registry entries are also removed.

To my inexpert eye, your problems are down to MS DCOM and possibly not java. I'm all agog to see what LookinAround will very likely say about it.
 
I'm with gbhall. I don't think it's a java issue at this point. I was also hoping the the Event Log might have some clue.. but that was a bust :(

Hoping the Dependency Walker Tool (DWT) will show something. In any case, it's not hard to do so let's give it a try.

Instruction Overview
I will have you load FF into DWT then start FF in safemode. (DWT log file scrolls by in its lower window pane). Use FF to download and save a file, then erase the current log file. Next you'll repeat the steps that cause the error (see steps below) and then copy/post the DWT log into your next post.
  • Download Dependency Walker (x86. Unzip files to a folder on your Desktop
  • Right click depends.exe and Run as Administrator
  • Click File->Open and browse to the firefox.exe file you located earlier. Click Open. FF will load into DWT
  • Click Start Profiling. In the Program Arguments box type
    Code:
    -safe-mode
  • (Note there are two dashes ("-") needed. One at start and one in middle of the word). Click OK. FF will start running and you should be prompted to run FF in safemode. Click to allow it.
  • Use firefox to download and save a file. In DWT, click Edit->Clear Log Window
  • In FF, click the green Download Arrow at the top right of the window, select Show All Downloads
Does the error still occur? In DWT, Edit->Select All then Edit->Copy Text then paste into your next post

After I type in -safe-mode firefox does not start up. I have a picture of the modules that have errors. (Untitled).

Here is the full bottom window text.
