Doesn't load here. Not even an entry in task manager. Splash screen shows though.
Hm
Works here. Did you try a reinstall?
1. installed over a test copy
1. installed over a test copy of my existing FFP 10.0.4 esr
2. installed completely anew without any add-ons
3. downloaded FF 13 Beta once more and installed in a new folder again
Three times the same result (just splash screen shows).
Run Directly
Could you run firefox.exe directly in the App\firefox directory. It will create/use a local profile, just so you know. If there are any issues with the app itself, this will help identify them. If it fails, please create a topic in the forums with the full details (OS, install path, language downloaded, etc). If it works, do the same, actually.
Also be sure you're running at least WinXP SP2 (possibly 3) as I know they dropped support for RTM and SP1. If you're running XP that is.
Ah, yes, you were on the
Ah, yes, you were on the right track, John. It's an XP SP1 problem now. Starting firefox.exe gives the usual "The procedure entry point DecodePointer could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" error. Software that doesn't install often gives out that error if SP2 is not installed. (And I won't install it ;).) I suppose, it's useless to start a separate thread, as the problem is more or less "solved" now.
You Should
You should definitely install SP2 at the very least as your system is about as insecure (and unsupported) as Windows 2000 now. Lots of apps are ditching SP1 as SP2 made some nice changes and basically let XP become the rock-solid OS it was meant to be. Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey won't run on XPSP1 shortly. I'd wager that other things aren't far behind.
FF/Google Chrome unable run normally due to missing kernel32.dll
"the procedure entry point decodepointer could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll"
that is exactly the message that will popup once i run Mozilla Firefox, as well, Google Chrome
it happened when i run a system recovery of my OS which is Windows Server 2003 SE (Standard Edition) after it hung-up. so i thought that it's HD got crashed but i didn't attempt to reformat as their are lots of files stored in the said directory ..
i tried to do a Safe Mode and the so called run from Last Known Configuration but to no avail. in fact, good thing i was able to manage to revived my computer as i was about to lost hope and getting ready to do the last final assault which is to reformat itself.
it's Internet Explorer IE v.6 is running well but only it has no "Tab(s)" and it can't open some of the sites i browse.
it's only both the Mozilla FF & Google Chrome that prompts "the procedure entry point decodepointer could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll"
Fix The Root Problem
I'd suggest re-installing and then patching. You need to fix the root issue with your computer, not just try to work around it with software. When you start getting kernel32.dll issues, something is VERY wrong with your computer.
re-installation successful
i have successfully re-installed Mozilla Firefox. in fact, i've done it both saving 1st the file then installed, as well, installed or open it immediately the moment it's completely been downloaded ..
however, the Mozilla Firefox will not even attempt to popup/pop-out from it's desktop shortcut or from it's quick lunch area. it's just like not happened after installation though their was even no error also during installation.
i know it was successfully installed since it will prompt to Launch Firefox "now" or "Read Me" field portion shows on the screen.
it's the "the procedure entry point decodepointer could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll" message appears now.
may i know what are the patching i need to fix the root issue?
i already mentioned that all these happened after i run a system recovery when my OS Win Server 2003 SE hung-up perhaps get corrupted. remember, i didn't reformat but only did a system recovery
Operating System
I mean re-installing your operating system. Unless that is fixed, your apps won't work right.
other alternative solutions needed :)
looks like it will be a long process
is their any like tweaks or 3rd party software that can be installed or run to supplement the missing kernel32.dll?
as mentioned earlier that i got those browser issue after i implement the System Recovery through setup CD installer. so perhaps it's only in the browser also that i will focus the resolutions
well, if theirs no other means then i will go for it to reformat the whole OS
Works here also
Working with no problems as of yet
