  • Can print the attachments, but not emails

    On my Macbook, I use [email protected] for email and print issues. I can print the attachments, but if I try to print an e-mail the preview screen is empty, so nothing is printed. A blank page comes out of the printer - Deskjet F2280 all-in-one. It used to work very well so do not know what I did to upset the software.

    Hi MoBoot,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you can not print e-mails with your Deskjet F2280 and I'm happy to help you with this printing problem!

    Since you are able to print the attachments, but not emails from your account [email protected], I recommend you contact Microsoft Support.

    Hope this helps and have a great day!

  • Why the "games for Windows Marketplace" will not be launched?

    Why the "games for Windows Marketplace" will not be launched? I tried to launch the start screen appears and when you look at the Task Manager, GFWLive.exe and GFWClient.exe show, but after a few seconds the splash screen and the GFW deals disappear and never loads the user interface. I tried to reinstall the client and the .NET Framework, but which has no effect. I also tried a couple of registry cleaners, but still no change.

    I'm sure that the last entry in the log has something to do with my problem.

    RESOLVED: "gamename has stopped working", games for Windows Live problem *.

    OK, finally solved.

    I uninstalled what is called "Windows Live ID Sign - in Assistant", as well as the usual games of .NET, MS for Windows - LIVE and games for Windows Marketplace Client, then ran a registry cleaner (I used CCleaner, which is free) and restarted.
    I then reinstalled GWL from MS. site
    I hope this helps someone else.
  • Windows Vista will not always launch

    This issue is driving me crazy.

    My laptop starts but will not always run windows, it may take several startups or remove and replace the battery, and then it works OK. I just did a hard drive recovery, but the problem persists. He's happy to wake up in the mode sleep, but not quite as a cold start.

    Assessment diagnosis of memory indicate a problem?

    > I have a hard drive recovery, but the problem persists. He's happy to wake up in the mode sleep, but not quite as a cold start

    So, it seems that the problem is not related to the software.
    Maybe the higher temperature affect the functionality of the laptop.
    What do you think of this?

    Have you checked whether the vents s ntoebook are free of dust?
    You can remove the dust easily using the jet of compressed air

    What about a HARD disk check? I think you should also check that there is a nice tool called of Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test he s freeware so you can download for free.

  • MS word .doc or .docx attachments will not send or receive in Thunderbird

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Thunderbird 31.5.0. When I enclose a .doc or .docx file in Thunderbird to an outgoing message, the attachment disappears. The welcome message send as usual, but when I go in my sent folder, there is no attachment, and when the recipient receives the message, there is no attachment. I've tried this multiple accounts, both IMAP and POP, and I tried with many different .doc or .docx files, sending them to myself as tests. Whenever they disappear. Other attachments: .pdf, .zip, etc work fine.

    I found a solution to this problem:

    http://www.GEOS.ed.AC.UK/it/FAQ/Thunderbird/

    In some cases, the Thunderbird e-mail client may send a file .doc (Word attachment) with the coding of incorrect mime "application/applefile. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    (1) close Thunderbird.
    2) go to the following directory: \Library\Thunderbird\Profiles \Users\ < your user name >
    (3) open the directory named with a random set of characters, for example "yo6luyl8.default". There may be several directories if you have several profiles of Thunderbird.
    (4) delete the file named "mimeTypes.rdf".
    (5) restart Thunderbird that will recreate a correct mimeTypes.rdf

    Thunderbird seems to acquire this behavior when it receives incorrect attachments sent by an e-mail on a Mac client. swalvarez said

  • Thunderbird will not email (after years of functioning), download says "connection was refused when attempting to contact direct mozillamessaging '.

    When Thunderbird opens or when I click on "Get messages" I get a message that says: "the connection was refused when attempting to contact the living mozillamessaging.com ." This has happened only since 18/12/14 after working many years. I checked all the information personal server, etc., and it seems to be OK (no change in the past). I'm having no internet problem and can get messages from my provider, Earthlink, on its own site.

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:

    • Restart Thunderbird with disabled modules (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click "restart with disabled modules. If Thunderbird works as usual, there is an add-on or theme interfere with normal operations. You will need to reactivate the modules one at a time until you locate the offender.
    • Restart the operating system in safe mode with network. This loads only the basics needed to start your computer while allowing Internet access. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX
    If the safe mode for the operating system to resolve the problem, there are other software on your computer that is causing problems. The possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as updates of the program.

    Hi jfhuber,
    What account is this for? Sync, forum, character, etc.? I'd be happy to help, just to know that one.

  • Why can't we simply have an option to turn Javascript on the sites again in the settings of Firefox 27? All of a sudden my Gmail attachments will not be opened. Gmail.

    All of a sudden my Gmail attachments have stopped opening, and I got the message: JavaScript must be enabled so that you can use Gmail in standard mode. However, it seems that JavaScript is disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again.

    I found a Mozilla support thread where he explained that Javascript has been disabled for a while OK and next... Then, there was a complicated answer about how you could always turn it back on by typing in a code to config in the address bar. What? Or, you can download an extension to do this for you. Why?

    Please - if you really feel that users can not be trusted, and Javascript must be turned off, at least bring back the ability to turn Javascript on or off, on a basis by site in the options, without having to know the code. It's Gmail.

    Thank you.

    Thank you, guys. OK, thinking about has no sense. So I decided to solve all aspects. I think now that several attachments, sent to me by a client are corrupted to its end. Open attachments from several other people! So sorry to waste your time and very sad I lost many of my friends. I think this thread should be deleted. Thanks again.

  • Word attachments will not be opened in Windows Mail

    I am running Vista Home Premium. When I try to open Word attachments in Windows Mail it tells me that this type of file (DOC) is not associated with a program. However, it is associated with Word (which is installed). I saw in this forum that IE8 was a conflict, so I went back to IE7, but I still can't get Windows Mail to open Word attachments. All other types of file open correctly. If I save the attachment Word elsewhere he opened in Word very well. Help!

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro new Mac - will not fully launch/load

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan.

    With the help of DVD / original serial number that I loaded the CS5 Design Suite without problem. Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, everything works without any problem.

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, however, simply refuses to install. I used the DVD and I downloaded it from Adobe's Web site. The result is the same - it acts like it will open, but only "Acrobat" shows up. If I click on it nothing happens.

    I contacted customer support and they told me that this version is no longer supported by them; They recommended that I try the forum.

    There must be a way to force it to work? If this is not the case, what is my option - is there a stand-alone equivalent product or do I need to subscribe to the entire suite, which I prefer to avoid.

    I cross my fingers that there is a simple answer.

    Thank you!

    Screenshot 2015-11-29 13.32.20.png

    OK - SUCCESS, albeit in an unexpected way.

    When I open it I asked me if I would like to install some plugins/upgrades/something something. One was a PDF print option and I don't remember the other. This time I unchecked the boxes and WHAMMO - Acrobat opens right. If anyone has this problem there is the solution!

    Its been working perfectly reliable on a 10 Windows PC until yesterday and now... nothing!  If I click on the shortcut on the desktop, or try to run the application, it is even not a splash screen is displayed.  But when I look in the Manager of tasks, looks like Lightroom trying to start a background process, but after a few seconds that he faints - there is no sign of work even in the background.  But I see that there is another application from Adobe that runs and faints at the same time - called Adobe 32-bit utility License (even if I'm under 10 64-bit Windows)

    My PC seems to work very well, outside of Lightroom.
