Answer: File Explorer is invisible when opened

I've had my computer for about 3 weeks, and up to about 3-4 days there, when I try to open the files or when I click on my file Explorer icon on my taskbar, it is invisible. When I open the Task Manager, it does not show that it is running, but if I move my mouse in Explorer on my taskbar, I see the window that I opened, but it is not on my screen. This happened to my Skype Office a day later. I tried to look online and most of the things I found does not work or was not my problem.

E: I see the window that I opened, but it is not on my screen.

A: do a right-click on the thumbnail and select move

E: all he done was make my mouse a cross with arrows

A: this is where you had to start to use your cursor as if you knew where your window hiding.

Did you have to move your mouse to see your pointer arrow 4?

Apparently to actually make a move if you use a mouse button to drag.

E: the only thing is that I came to that was the fact that my windows Explorer is located on the far right of my screen.

Is that mean that you have noticed that your pointer seems to come out on the side right of the screen but banged against the side of the left?   Then to try the procedure instead of doing drag the pointer appears you would press the left button of the mouse and then try to move your mouse to the left (if you come from the right side, left movement).   This procedure was a new discovery.  To try the (classic) procedure of slider (the one I mentioned first), you must use the CursorLeft key (repeated, key chosen to represent the fact that the window is supposed to appear on the right.)

Think.   What is this pointer?

Alternatively, if you've been paying attention, you can try the method of Win-shift-cursor too.   Still, it would be easier.   But the most reliable would be the cursor method because it does not assume that there is a ghost monitor and is not affected by the question of if you moved your mouse (if you have nothing to click on and drag)...

Wow.  Another discovery.  I moved the pointer without trying to drag (for example to simulate what I suppose that you did) and I saw the arrow pointer 4 just to move its own.   Then I pressed CursorRight, (given that my missing window was on the left) and apparently it hired drag on the window to the mouse!  Who would have thought?   Then I could just drag it using the mouse without having to resort to a press cursor repeat procedure.   Still not as easy as Win-shift-cursor if.

FYI

    I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

    So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
    It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

    Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
    "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
    An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

    Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
    Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

    Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

    As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

    You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

    You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

    c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.
    d. If the problem does not persist in the boot, it means that some programs non-Microsoft is the source of the problem.
    e. to find the program that is causing the problem, try "step 2: enable half the services" to "step 6: resolve the problem.
    f. Once you find the culprit, check if there is any updates to update or fixes to the program. If you find, install them and check the difference or reinstall the latest program.

  • Can not enter wildcard (*) in the file selection dialog box when opening a file

    It's something I've not seen before. I posted this question in the forum Autodesk AutoCad LT five days ago, but I got no answer at all. Because I'm not sure whether it is a Windows or a problem with Autocad, I thought I'll try to post here, too.

    On one of our AutoCad workstations, when you open a drawing, we cannot enter a wildcard character (*) in the file selection dialog box to help unravel the drawings.

    In other words, say there are 10 versions of a drawing with the number 5008. I should be able to enter the 5008 * and just see these ten designs. On this computer, when I try to type an asterisk (*), I get this error message: invalid character. The following characters are not allowed in file names: \ /: *? "<>

    Now, I know that they are not allowed... but I don't mean to create a file name. I'm just trying to classify them. On our other RTE Autocad workstations, the wildcard character works fine.  What's up with this one? Y at - it a setting or a variable that controls this?

    Thanks - Kevin

    Hello

    ·         The problem occurs with any other application?

    It may be some setting in Auto CAD, which raises the question, and its best you seek help from experts in DAO automatic.

  • File not found error when opening a virtual machine (from No-Time Machine backup)

    Hello world

    I have a problem with my installation of Fusion 2.0.6 on my iMac to Snow Leopard related to a "file not found".  I did my best to analyze the positions of the community to see if anyone has experienced this before.  I found several posts and tried the suggestions in these posts, but I have not been able to solve.

    I'm trying to restore from a full backup of my XP VM. It's not a backup Time Machine; just a straight backup of VM together using SuperDuper (part of my nightly backup routine).  To restore, I copied:

    -> BACKUP/users/John/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

    for -> MacHD/users/John/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

    Merge, I opened the Windows XP Home Edition VM, only to get the error:

    «File not found: Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s001.vmdk.» This file is required to power on this virtual machine.  If this file has been moved, please provide its new location. »

    I find the file hard (what is there) and get the same error message several times.

    Interestingly, when I try to open the same VM from the backup location, I also get the same error.

    Really stuck now and don't know what to do.  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    It seems that the latest files are missing. The virtual disk which I guess has a size 5-6 GB provisioned consists of 3 files, of which 2 are missing for snapshot 000005 (Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s002.vmdk and Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s003.vmdk). Unless you have some backup, your options are limited and you will need to go back to the last instant whis is dated March 2012.

    Windows XP Home Edition - 000005.vmdk descriptor file (text file) will show the files that make up the virtual disk (the Flash disk in this case).

  • Illustrator cs6 problem "this file is not found" when open network file

    I used to install the trial version of Illustrator CC on my desk and then during the trial run out I decide to go with illustrator CS6 instead, so I decide to buy &
    Illustrator CS6 install on our desktop and everything seem to be fine except

    the problem is that our .ai file is located on the network design team shared drive.

    When we try to open the file from the network drive with illustrator CS6, it says "this file is not found.

    -We try to copy the file to the network drive on our office and can open the file without problem

    -If we double-click directly on the file from the network drive to start the CS6 illustrator with this file. He has also very good, no problem at all.

    - But if we first open the illustrator CS6 and try opening... and then again browse to this file on the network, then "this file is not found.

    -CS6 Illustrator have no problem opening the file in the local hard disk.

    -Illustrator CC have never this problem, open the file in the drive of our network, try to reinstall the trial of Illustrator CC again and it may open without a problem

    -J' I try to use Adobe CC Cleaner tool to remove everything before you reinstall Illustrator CS6, still no luck.

    -Try to remove the Adobe relate user/user/Appdata folder, and then reinstall, still no luck

    -Try a right click and open with-> Illustrator CS6, Yes if we double-click the file directly, it's ok, but as said if we open illustrator first, then search for the file, the problem happens.

    No direct experience of Okino but you won't find many people who say that their PolyTrans is a powerful tool. However, I have tested all other applications that I mentioned in my previous answer by a remark: If you aim to simplify the mesh, they are all extremely complex. Perhaps, the only suitable for the layman is Rhino rhinoceros - downloads; it provides an export utility where users can select several options to reduce the number of nodes. Also look at the script environment: I could quite easily find a way to generate scripts in Blender and MeshLab to process a batch of files without the GUI, but I didn't do it with Rhino, but I see it has script capabilities Rhinoceros - overview and Developer: rhinoscript [McNeel Wiki]

  • Problems with files on Windows 8 to open Explorer

    Hello. I recently bought a HP Pavilion with Windows 8, and I'm unable to open Windows Explorer or the library. Whenever I click the icon pinned to the taskbar, I only get the preview of the libraries window, but it does not actually open it. In addition, whenever I try to open a file I just downloaded, Windows Explorer crashes and I have to restart. What is the problem?

    Thanks for the reply, but I fixed the problem via an update. Apparently, they sometimes configure Windows 8 to run as if you have two monitors, in order to open file Explorer, except she would open on my monitor second, non-existent. Genius, really.

  • PDF file generated from Reporting SERVICES hangs when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "optimized for fast web view."

    Large pdf (over 1000 pages) generated files form SSRS crashes when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "Optimized for fast web view" activated. This saves fine with disabling this option. However, our customers are not ready to accept this solution because they do not want to change any settings. Please suggest if we should create a ticket with microsoft for SSRS allow the generation of pdf quick display of Web pages or is it an option in Adobe to fix this problem without changing the settings.

    The SSRS file has Fast Web View: 'No' and that's how Microsoft SSRS generates these files.

    Thank you for the complete maxwyss response

    As you have indicated, the PDF SSRS seems to have some elements that are quite similar to be supported for fast web view.

    We asked customers to disable the fast web view, but the customer is big enough to make a change individually on their machines and so were looking for a solution.

    I saw in several forums and a few discussions here as well as disable the fast web view option works for pdf fails.

    Which was just wondering if its known that multiple PDFs genarted by third parties may have problems with the optimization, the Save as optimized for fast web view could be disabled by default installation of acrobat reader rather than be enabled by default

    Thanks again for the reply!
