when I open firefox I get a series of message boxes as follows: 353 regWithoutKeyname.cpp 49 dfxpRecord.cpp 234 dfxpInit.cpp 65 dfxpUniversal.cpp 86 winmmDfx.cpp The number is the title of the box and the text is the file name. An OK button appears in each box and once pressed the next box appears. How do I stop this from occurring ?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How to stop Firefox startup .cpp error dialog windows:

  • 353 ..\..\UTIL\reg\regWithoutKeyname.cpp
  • 49 .\dfxp\dfxpRecord.cpp
  • 234 .\dfxp\dfxpInit.cpp
  • 65 \dfxp\dfxpUniversal.cpp
  • 86 .\winmmDfx.cpp

It has nothing to do really with Firefox or plug-ins! It happens in safe-mode as well. I also experienced the same problem in IE. It is an Audio related problem To my astonishment I could not find an answer anywhere until I realized that once upon a time I had installed DFX Audio Enhancer!

You have most likely DFX Audio Enhancer installed and corrupted. Possibly due to a a deep registry clean scan which removed some keys.

Simply reinstall DFX Audio Enhancer and you problem is solved!
