I have used Safari for Windows as my main internet browser for at least the past 4 months and I have never had any trouble with it. Yesterday when I tried to run Safari it simply crashed, even before loading anything. I have tried re-installing it but to no avail. What can I do?
Try removing this folder and retrying Safari ('Application Data' may be hidden, so make sure your Explorer settings are enabled for showing hidden files):
C:\Documents and Settings\YourAccountName\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
Note that your bookmarks are stored in that folder, so move the 'Bookmarks' file onto your Desktop prior to deletion if you want to retain them.
It didn't fix the issue for me. I've uninstalled, reinstalled... Using the latest version of Safari for PC and Windows XP pro sp2 with latest round of updates...
This is the error message shown:
AppName: safari.exe AppVer: 3.523.12.9 ModName: webkit.dll
ModVer: 3.523.12.9 Offset: 0008a039
Hi, everyone! Yesterday I tried to delete some fonts in my windows XP, and Safari worked again. I don't know why, those fonts were all Latin fonts, not Chinese fonts.
http://www.macfixit.com is a good source of articles, tips and troubleshooting with a lot of coverage for the recent issues with Mac Safari and Security Update related problems.
I've got exactly the same problem as desribed above: Safari crashes on startup on my WinXP pro sp2 machine. As long as the official download on the Apple-site doesn't work, I won't use Safari on Windows. Too much hassle.
