Welcome to the Forum, Bruce2!

Bruce,

If you tried to access this site shortly before you posted, it could very well be that there was maintenance being done. I too experienced the same thing. Try again, and see if you continue to see the error.

The msvcr80.dll file is a Windows file, found here:
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700

I found this information in a Google Search:

Not being a Windows Geek, I cannot recommend that you use the RegCure tool, if in fact this is your problem. I have doubts as to Firefox causing this particular error.

Check out these two KB Articles for some solutions for the shutdowns:

Do you have a current version of Java on your system? If not, go here for the latest version, which is Version 6 Update 6:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Download the Windows XP/Vista/2000/2003 Offline version, file size: 15.18 MB

Ensure that you uninstall the existing version before installing this update.

 

I still cant post on this site with firefox..having to use IE.
This has happened twice today once this morning and just about 5 minutes ago.
Just to let you know that i updated my Java to the sugestion and i still get the same error when Java appellet loads.

 

Bruce,

Exactly what happens when you are in the Reply text area, if you can get that far?

As website was loading it would error and shut down.

Heres what maybe my problem was i went into my tools menu and checked my add ons and found only 1 add on which was AVG safe search ver8 sooo i disabled that and so far everything seems to work ok now.

I usually dump my cache and cookies and such once a week.

Thanks again

 

Bruce,

Glad to hear that you finally nailed down what was causing the problem.
