Google Maps not working in FF3
July 30th, 2008 | 
Author: I installed FireFox 3 on their launch day. It seemed ever since then Google Maps would not work in FIreFox for me. It would just hang, “Loading…”.
Well it turns out it wasn’t FF3 but in fact a Skype number highlighting add-on that was the culprit. I uninstalled the Skype add-on and voila, Google Maps work again!

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80070020)
All of my websites on IIS7 were stopped. Whenever I tried to start any of them I would get the exception:
”The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80070020)”
After doing some googleing I found that it was a problem with Skype. When it iwas loading on boot up it was taking port 80 before IIS could.
So I just quit Skype freeing up port 80. This allowed me to start my websites in IIS. I then restarted Skype which was smart enough to take a different port since 80 was already taken.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
