I have been running mozilla in various flavours for 8 months.
Just upgraded from 1.4 RC1 to 1.4 RC2, and now am unable to startup.
I get a memory access violation in XPCOM.dll:
610F0736   mov         esi,610F3B40h
610F073B   push        610F6398h
610F0740   push        eax
610F0741   lea         ecx,[ebp+8]
610F0744   mov         dword ptr [ebp-10h],ebx
610F0747   mov         dword ptr [ebp-18h],esi
610F074A   mov         dword ptr [ebp+8],ebx
610F074D   call        610F0964
610F0752   lea         ecx,[ebp-14h]
610F0755   mov         dword ptr [ebp-18h],esi
610F0758   call        610F0932
610F075D   cmp         dword ptr [ebp+8],ebx
610F0760   je          610F0799
610F0762   mov         eax,dword ptr [edi+24h]
610F0765   cmp         eax,ebx
610F0767   je          610F0799
610F0769   mov         eax,dword ptr [eax]  <-- this line has the error

After uninstalling the previous version of Mozilla, was the program directory
for Mozilla empty?

Comment 2

[Anthony Johnson]

No the directory was not empty.
I removed what was there, and reinstalled.
it now works.
