Anyone who is missing ALL their live tile icons after upgrade to W8? (even 3rd party)

I upgraded earlier and almost everything seems ok - with the exception of the new start menu that displays only the squares - no icon or text: http://imgur.com/Q7hvd

My screen looked EXACTLY the same as yours.  After more than a week, chasing this problem, the answer was to remove a program called 2.1R4 FastPictureViewer Codec Pack, after having read the questions and answers here.  Finally, everything works as it should.  What a relief.  Frankly, I was ready to throw Win8.  The moral of my story - persevere.

  • Help! -Acer Aspire all-in-one touch screen after upgrade Windows 8 Pro

    Hi all!

    This is a rather confusing questions and about * me off no end!  I know that some of you may have encountered this already and could have a potential solution?

    I have an Acer Aspire all-in-one, AZ5101 (Aspire Z5101), with 4 GB of RAM, etc..

    Since the Developer Preview of Windows 8 came out, I've been running Windows 8 perfectly.  I completely uninstalled (each time itself) and run the following:

    Windows 8 Developer Preview, 64-bit

    Windows 8 Preview of consumer, 64-bit

    Windows 8 Preview, 64-bit version

    In any case, on this PC worked perfectly - y INCLUSIVE of the TOUCH SCREEN.  I never had a problem.

    So far so good.  Then, they finally released updates Windows 8 Pro official licensed by download.  I bought the upgrade and downloaded.  Just like in * ALL * other cases, upgrade, I chose "keep nothing" of the old system (I never really got all the important data on here), and do the upgrade itself.

    After the upgrade was complete, and ALL Windows 8 Pro updates have been applied by Windows update, I have a system where the screen is clear and precise, everything works, and all devices in Device Manager, show the Greens well, it works fine - NO ERRORS.  HOWEVER - NO CONTACT!  No touch no screen function at all.  The screen now has this time as a standard monitor.

    I tried the driver Idéacom - no luck.  Anyone know (please? LOL) how to get the touch screen to work again?  Thank you very much!  I really appreciate any help you can give.  Microsoft technical support had NO idea and no reply emails from Acer! Laughing out loud

    Thanks again,

  • Missing files in $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil directory after upgrade

    Hello experts,

    Recently, we have improved our 11.2.0.1.0 to 12.1.0.2.0 database we use with Oracle EBS 12.1.3. I applied all the patches for interoperability within the db upgrade.

    I regenerated appsutil.zip and copied to the node of the DB. but when I extracted I found some files are missing under appsutil directory (for example, clone). and I am not able to regenerate the environment specific files using perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack.

    Please find below the directory structure:

    ==============================

    [oracle@xxxxdb1 appsutil] $ pwd

    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your reply Hussein.

    I follow the procedure below, and this has solved my problem.

    ==================================================================

    1. on the Application tier (such as user APPLMGR):

    2. connect to environmental APPL_TOP and the source of the file environment.

    3. create the appsutil.zip file: 'perl /bin/admkappsutil.pl.

    (This will create appsutil.zip $APPL_TOP/admin/out/appsutil.zip)

    4 copy or FTP the file appsutil.zip for the RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME.

    5. on the database (such as the ORACLE user) layer:

    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME

    $ unzip-o appsutil.zip

    6. generate the context of database file:

    Creating context in UNIX files

    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME

    $ . _.env

    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin

    level of perl adbldxml.pl $ = db = appspasswd = appsuser

    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin

    $ adconfig.sh = appspass = contextfile

    After you perform these steps, all files and directories are now present.

  • All the .muse files deleted after upgrading to Adobe Muse CC 2015.2 Release

    Hello world

    Help!

    I just downloaded and installed Adobe Muse CC 2015.2 Release and launch, by clicking on my latest project under 'Récent', I got an error message stating:

    "The file ' / users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Projectname/1-3-1.muse' seems to be missing." You want to remove to open the recent item? »

    Adobe customer service tells me that it is because my .muse file was saved in iCloud of Apple and the error should be there because there is no local version of the file on my computer. However, except .muse files, other documents stored in iCloud from Apple are available and this problem occurred immediately after the upgrade of Muse, which seems more than a coincidence.

    I have a HTML of my incomplete project export but informs me that there is no way to recreate the Muse of this document, it seems I've lost weeks of work with no way to recover.

    Does anyone else have this problem? A bit of luck to solve? Also, any thoughts on a solution without having to recreate my project from scratch?

    I'd appreciate any help you can provide because right now I am a very unhappy Adobe customer.

    Thank you!

    You access your Apple account and manually upload your files on your hard drive?

    I personally NEVER use any kind of cloud as my only location of file storage... it is safer to keep the file on your hard disk and a copy on the cloud storage

  • Satellite L500-13D: all programs & settings are gone after upgrade to Windows 7

    Hello.

    My laptop is Satellite L500-13D

    I've upgraded to WINT in VISTA using official TSB upgrade disk.
    It seems that something was wrong. Win7 installed properly, but unfortunately all installed programs and settings are gone.
    I see also that when the upgrade $directories on C: and E partitions have been created; programs and older files are there.

    A few questions:

    1. is there a way to return return programs?
    2. how to create the recovery disks now under WIN7, because there is no CREATOR of TOSHIBA RECOVERY more?
    3. download TOSHIBA RECOVERY CREATOR?

    Hi mate

    Have you read the manual that came with the laptop and Windows 7 upgrade disc?

    After an upgrade to Windows 7 you need additional disk with the upgrade tools that came with the Windows 7 upgrade disk.

    > 2. How to create the recovery disks now under WIN7, because there is no CREATOR of TOSHIBA RECOVERY more?
    This is not possible because the recovery disk must be created at first running the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba.

    > 3. Download TOSHIBA RECOVERY CREATOR?
    If I know that cannot be downloaded.

  • V313 all-in-one not scan after upgrade to Yosemite on Mac

    I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Yosemite and just discovered that I can't scan with my dell V313 more.

    It was working fine before the upgrade, so I think it's because the driver is no longer compatible with the new OS.

    Any new driver is available? I searched high and low for any information on this but have failed so far.

    Help, please!

    Sahki,

    The printer is a Lexmark S300 S400 Series for a Mac computer, you can install it.

    If you have the disc from the printer, do not know how to do this on a Mac, but the program OCR, necessary to scan, Fax is on the disk of the printer. Instructions for a Windows Installer the OCR program operating system are...

    In the digitization, if you have the disc that came with the printer, and then insert the floppy disk to the printer and keep it from running. Go to my computer and double-click it. Locate the drive that contains the disk Dell inside. Right-click on it, left click Explore. Find the folder of the OCR. In the OCR folder, there is a folder of Abbyy. Right click on setup.exe, which is located in the folder Abbyy and left, click Run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.

  • Anyone who passes BIOS suddenly changed for no reason at all?

    Anyone who passes BIOS suddenly changed for no reason at all? Not mine. I have a Toshiba laptop that is only a couple of months, and it suddenly would not accept my password BIOS or HARD drive more. I'm completely locked out of my own laptop! I don't see how it could have happened otherwise as a bug in the software or hardware of Tosh. Can someone help me? Your comments will be also welcome if you have encountered the same problem. You can answer here or you can also send me an e-mail to [email protected] information.

    Hello

    sounds may be stupid, but maybe you write the password in capital LETTERS and tiny not? I mean, just Don t password change on theirselves and sorry, but I have never heard of a notebook of toshiba to change the BIOS password or something similar. In this case, the human factor is sometimes the biggest problem. ;)

    I received this great office of in-laws and I want to remove all their stuff and start over... but not to delete what anyone essential to the system. I can't get explore 9... do not know why.

    I also want to know if I need to set up a network or something for my laptop and desktop computer can interact? I want to be able to print from my laptop without connecting to the computer via the USB port.

    Any advice?

    Your message was clearly not your comments to Microsoft Answers web site, so I moved it on the Feedback forum to "Install, upgrade and activate" windows forum.  Please return to your message, click the button change under it, change the menu Windows Version dropdown to indicate which version of Windows you are using, and then click on submit.  People can help better if they do not have to guess your version of Windows.

    Your best bet is to reinstall WIndows from scratch using the original Windows installation kit or factory restore disks supplied with the PC when your purchased people.  If she did come with a restore or the Windows installation disk drive, it came with a partition on the hard drive and the software to allow you to create the restore disks yourself.  Which will ensure that none of their remains.

    If you want to share data or peripherals between two PCs, you will need a LAN.  If you have internet access, then you already have a local area network.  Your ADSL access may or may not have a router provided with the equipment to access, but if it isn't you can easily add a.  The Knowledgebase Microsoft have some tutorials that describe how to configure a network home.

    Hello

    There are a few things you can try:

    Change the resolution of the screen;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    Then try to change the screen resolution.

    Or do a restore of the system before it is passed (which will also remove MSE!).
