Cannot left click anything in AE

This happened today, everything has been works fine, but now when I launch Adobe After Effects CS4 (or CS5), or I can left click New Composition, but when the menu opens upwards to select 1280 x 720 etc, I can't left click on anything, I'm rolling the cursor over the boxes , it HIGHLIGHTS as if I could select, but clicking on does absolutely nothing. I can TAB through the selections and work in this way, but of course it's a pain in the * & * ^.

I can click CLOSE (the red X) and close After effects, I can click and select one of the itesms of top menu (File, Edit, Composition, layer, etc.) very well, even when I go into Preferences, I can not select anything with the mouse.

I am using windows 7 Ultimate x 64, all updates, 16 GB ram, quad core cpu, 2 x 5970 and NO it's not the mouse, it works very well in every other app.

When I open AE CS4, the cursor can not choose, as it looks like a waffle pixelated, as a square of pilxels black and white.

I tried to restart and got out all the plugins.

Please I need help! Thank you!

Disable the second graphics card and/or check your graphics configuration. This is the overlay drawing problems, perhaps because you have updated the video driver or changed a setting.

  • Don't make a left click or close the popup settings for Flash Player local storage

    New book from Surface, 200% display scaling. cannot left click or close the popup of local storage settings Flash Player (which is not scaled). Make a right click works, but cannot get rid of blocked dialogue. I see people saying Flash dialogues only work with the scaling to screen 100%, but this would make the screen of 3000 x 2000 pretty unusable. Is there a better solution?

    I just ordered a couple for the team the other day.  It took some time for our supplier of equipment start their storage.

    These dialog boxes are problematic for a number of reasons.  I'd love to see them disappear entirely.  In most cases, what you run is our protection fromclickjacking anti - being overzealous.  Flash Player is in an uncomfortable position, where it is difficult to ensure that we are the object of above and that our security dialogue box is not obscured by something malicious that tries to make you click on it.  This is particularly problematic if the dialog box appears on things that move, such as video.  Fixed bugs in the logic of clickjacking is a game of whack-a-mole, so usually set us on a config and finds that he has beaten another combination of factors of density/zoom screen/resolution.

    The best way to deal with the situation is to simply stop the dialog box to display in the first place.  The days when disabling Local Shared Objects in Flash you bought anything in terms of protection personal information are over long - HTML5 provides much more powerful functions to develop behavioral followed resilience.  The best approach in trying to stay private is to use only the browser incognito-private browsing mode.  This tricks Flash into thinking it has access to whatever he wants to write, but it happens in a temporary directory that is destroyed when you exit the private browsing session.

    Since Flash Player think actually that it runs with rein in Incognito mode, without dialog boxes to throw (unless you have set the default privacy preferences in the drive).  Incognito mode is far superior to management of granular controls of the Flash, because it also beats the approaches to monitoring of client - side HTML5 equivalent * and * is not usually degrade the user experience.  We do also some extra stuff to help the hurt to do server side footprints, like turning a very minimal list, sorted by alphabetical order of the policies in Incognito mode.  If you're curious about what can be done exclusively on the coast Server (and want to be depressed), check out https://panopticlick.eff.org/.

    Anyway, for this purpose, you can configure Flash Player to always allow sites to store local shared objects, or you can allow it on a site-by-site basis if it is a site of particular video or something that gives you consistent headaches.

    To do this, go to control panel > Flash Player > storage and choose an option.

    It is also interesting to note that there is a lot of superstition there since the beginning of the 1990s on the 'Flash Cookies' / shared/LSO local objects that holds true anymore.

    When you clear the cache of your browser, we remove our LSO.  The feature was scheduled for things like game save data and caching assets, but some smart marketing people find it useful to backup the data in the cookie of the user store, so that they had followed who survived a user to delete their cookies.  While the unfortunate and embarrassing, we corrected for a long time that, by adopting a behavior that we believe best match user expectations.  Unfortunately, once you get the stench on you, it is difficult to reverse.

    Hope that helps!

  • E540 Touchpad Government only right click, left click cannot

    Hello community,

    I recently purchase a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 540 and it worked very well until early today (bought around mid-June).
    While I was browsing the internet, some how my touchpad developed a problem.
    TI only Government right click when ever I click.

    I deleted the drivers, though even they knew her point ones, downloaded a fresh .exe and installed after the reset and it not and it still has the same problem.

    If I disable the touchpad on the ultranav software and activate the single trackapad, buttons work as it should, the large surface in the Government of touchpad as left click and the small area at the top right are registered as the right click. Although I can't use the touchpad for navigation.

    So clicking on does not work, well good or not tapping. Can I doubletap normally, but I can't tap and drag as the choice of a block of text.

    Yet once, I tried a new install of drivers ultranav and it did not work. The problem manifested itself during normal browsing, nothing has been installed or changed hardware vise. It literally changed in a second.

    It's a really strange problem and I have no idea how to solve because reinstall the driver did not work.

    I appreciate any help, thanks.

    Note of the moderator; edited topic, added system type

    Good news, happy that flatten you it.

    FOR ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM:

    1. uninstall your UltraNav drivers;

    2. restart your plan of the Tower;

    3. allow Windows to find and install the generic drivers touchpad;

    4. Download official UltraNav driver Lenovo support page and install.

  • Cannot open My Documents by left click

    I use Windows 7 and I can't open My Documents by double left click. Nothing happens except derivative. However I can open them by right clicking and selecting open. Everything works fine then. It started only recently. Any ideas please?

    Is the folder that you are clicking called 'My Documents' or 'Documents', or are you clicking on the link in the Start Menu as suggested above?  Is it a shortcut on the desktop, you're clicking on?

    You have problems with the other files, left-click If Yes, have you tried another mouse?

    What happens if you test in safe mode, create another user and test with that in Normal Mode?

    Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.

  • System Restore won't work, drives available: HP (C :) (Missing)?) Left click on the mouse also stops randomly works, works fine in safe mode.

    My computer is upward, slow-running and my mouse will just randomly stop left click. I can switch the service so click right not left click function, but then cannot do the right click function. I had created a restore point before installing a program called Cain and Abel on my computer and it was just a couple of days.

    When I tried to do a restore, I got a message saying I needed turn the system restore. Then my computer froze so I restarted it and selected "System Recovery" and tried to do a restore to the point that I had created before that Cain has been installed. I got a message saying that the restoration has failed then I restarted mode without failure. When I restarted in safe mode, both left and right click was working again but I got a message saying that something has been altered (I didn't write it down so you do not know what it was). He says to run CHKDSK, which I did and then the computer seemed to work again.

    This is temporary, I lost my left click again and now have swung it for do the right click, left click is supposed to do, but really need to be able to do both types of clicks.

    I go in to the restoration of the system, and it says I need to turn it on. When I go into system properties to turn on, the disc I want to activate to says "HP (C :) (Missing)) ' what this means and how do I do the restore point I have created 2 days ago from work?

  • My photos will open VLC with the left click. Need to open context menu for images

    When I double left-click on the icon my images the VLC page is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen and nothing happens when I click on the arrow of VLC playback. The same thing happens with picture files.  I've never had this problem before and cannot find a "Restore Defaults" to return to normal. Help, please!

    Explore the My picture folder in your My Documents or navigate to the location of the image. Click right-> one of the image-> Openwith files select "choose program"-> select "Windows fax and picture viewer"-> Tickmark "always use the selected program..." -> Ok.

    You will be able to open the rest of the images using the left-click in the picture windows and fax viewer, if you use another program, you can select the program accordingly.

    I hope this helps.

  • Left click and double tapping with touchpad does not.

    has been using my computer earlier and left click (with the click button) and clicking on double tapping with the touchpad its self gradually ceased to work in the course of half an hour or two.  I did a system before the problem happened and check the drivers but everything is perfect.  I have a mouse and left-click on it works.  I'm really just ideas on how to fix this problem if any help would be great.

    P.S. If you have any help please try to be specific I'm not terribly good at working with computers.

    Hello

    You may have a hardware problem and need a good computer shop (no leeks and peaks at)
    a Best Buy or a big box store) or the technical support of the system manufacturer.

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB.

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
    device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers to install or reinstall.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

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

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad
    entries) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    I hope this helps.

  • Major problems mouse, left click acting as a click right, very annoying!

    Hey guys I have a very annoying problem. I read about it online as other people seem to have made the experience, but there is no real definitive answer. On rare occasions, my mouse will be funny. When you press the left button, it will act as the right and the right button will continue to act as the right one. When you go into the settings of the mouse, even if swap you them around her still acts as if there are two right click and left click No button. I tried a number of suggestions elsewhere on the web, including re-starting my pc several times, trying to update windows, turning off the mouse, re - install, using a different mouse etc... No matter what I do, the problem persists.

    The only way to get the return to normal of the mouse is either to turn off the pc and leave it a few hours, in which case even sometimes that does not work. The only other time he rectified himself is in itself. Sometimes it will just fix itself without doing you anything for her.

    I'll be very grateful for any advice that anyone can give. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know anything on this subject? Thank you

  • Yahoo Mail now ignores left-clicks with mouse - how to solve?

    About two weeks ago, I've updated all my exceptional KBs Windows Update, except for .NET stuff. When it may be a coincidence.
     
    Anyway, at this time, when I was with Yahoo Mail in my account to user Standard using Chrome, mouse clicks left stopped doing anything. I spent in IE9 and who worked for awhile, but eventually left-clicks stopped working there too.
     
    I did a little research and I found a guy who said the same thing with left clicks happened with Yahoo Mail several months ago, and finally he had the left click of Yahoo Mail problem on all its browsers.
     
    A week ago, I decided to not to roll back some of my recently installed Windows updates; Instead, I updated Java. Later, when I tested Yahoo Mail in Chrome for my administrator account, it seemed to work well.
     
    But when I went back to my user account Standard - return to frustration in Chrome and IE9.
     
    At the moment I'm in my Standard user account, using Chrome "Run as Administrator" and Yahoo Mail seems to work just with this jury-rig, but it is dangerous now malware can infect my entire computer.
     
    Suggestions?
    I suspect it is a problem of Yahoo Mail, but it could be due to a buggy patch Windows Update.
    I have Windows 7, 64-bit; SP1 is installed.

    I followed your advice and walked toward the Support of Yahoo.

    They told me to do a "reset keyboard and mouse" - is LShift + CapsLock + LAlt + RShift + top + RAlt - then reboot.

    That fixed it.
