Details
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 BuildID: 2001112009 After installing Mozilla 0.9.6, Windows File Protection detects an unrecognizable file and restores a back up automatically on restart. So after restarting windows, Mozilla will not run all I get is a small window in the top left corner that is non responsive. I’ve tried reinstalling Windows XP and the only thing I installed was Mozilla, (same result) This Bug does not happen with Mozilla 0.9.5 (On my system anyway). So I have to reinstall Mozilla every time I reboot windows (Witch is quite Often Obviously using windows)

I can imagine Microsoft's reaction : "This behaviour is by design." or "That's not a bug, it's a feature." (Sorry)

from email : -------------------------------------------------------------------------- pubprn.vbs prnqctl.vbs prnport.vbs prnmngr.vbs prnjobs.vbs prndrvr.vbs prncnfg.vbs pagefileconfig.vbs eventquery.vbs These are the name of the file that were restored upon restart, They are all VBScript files, so I turned off the Indexing Service and archiving for all my files and this seem to have done the trick. I've rebooted several times and no problems so far. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: Please use the bugzilla URL, add your comments in the additional comments field and hit the "commit" button :-)

How do these .vbs files affect mozilla? The should have no be effect whatsoever. Is your profile located on \Documents and Settings\...user..\Application Data\Mozilla ?

shouldn't we move this one to WONTFIX? since i run XP and did several installations of moz0.9.7, 0.9.8 and nightlies without the mentioned problems. i can't confirm the problem, since i didn't install 0.9.6 on XP - but if someone insists, i can try so. nevertheless i CAN say, it works with newer releases, so i suggest forgetting about this, unless it would reappear in a newer build? comments?

this files are not used by Mozilla. Mozilla doesn't use any system drivers (except Mapi.dll) It works on my WIN XP and also no one else see this problem. marking workforme

I have not had any problems with recent builds so I guess it is solved. Also I talked to all my friends and it seemed it was only I that had the problem. I don't know what caused the problem but it is working fine now after installing a newer build. Problem solved so great work guys :)
