Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
Jul 30, 2008 12:59

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

xp will not boot, system does not move past login screen

windows is starting up... forever

It seems my system will not move past the windows is starting up... phase of logging in with any logonscreen active.
The biggest problem is trying to boot to the previous good configuration does not help, it results in the same behavior. Is there a way to get rid of logonscreens without actually booting into windows? since I can only get to a repair console. Even safe mode does not work, it also hangs. The only way I have been able to get rid of the problem has been to run setup from the xp cd and then choose the repair option of the setup program. I would like an easier way, since this kills all my updates.

hemanherecomes.. that will have absolutely no effect on what he's trying to fix.

mhguda.. is it hanging or is it erroring? If it is hanging, you might want to let it sit for a few hours and it should de-hang itself. If its an error, just keep clicking OK and it should eventually bring you to a login screen.

if LogonStudio is the issue: ctrl+alt+del twice will cause the windows default to appear


It seems my system will not move past the windows is starting up..


that sounds more like BootSkin

if it's BootSkin causing the issue - generally you boot into safe mode then uninstall BootSkin

if you can, Boot off a Windows CD and remove \windows\system32\drivers\vidstub.sys.

If you have BootSkin installed and if it's BootSkin causing the issue - generally you boot into safe mode then uninstall BootSkin or boot off a Windows CD and remove \windows\system32\drivers\vidstub.sys.
