  • Photoshop elements 13 said that there was a problem with the download and recommend exit us and restart

    We bought a new laptop and 13 items today. We spent the day trying to get it set up. We tried to download the 13 items at least 6 times. Whenever it took about 45 minutes to download, but when we open the file and click on set up it says that there was a problem with the download and it recommends that stop, restart and download it again? How we work what goes wrong? We had to remove the files and start every time. I don't have another day to try to get this sort. Should not it is just a matter of downloading and then, should not come with a message to install and we just press Yes and it works.

    You can also download the trial version of the software directly (No Download Manager) through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.  You should get two files, an executable file and a compressed file.  Run the executable file and it will install the rest.

    Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important Instructions in the section on the pages of this site download and have cookies turned on in your browser, otherwise the download will not work correctly.

  • I have a problem when using Google Maps, at a certain point my custards computer window and says there is a problem with the display drivers and he recovered, but it is not. Problem does not occur with Int Explorrer, so I don't think it's the computer

    When using google maps via Firefox, after asking a place which is not the General section of North America who comes up regularly, the firefox screen becomes white with a narrow banner at the top. A message appears in the lower right corner that says something on display drivers having had a problem, but now have been recovered. However, the display is not recover and the message of the banner is that Firefox is not responding. When I go to restart Firefox if I'm about to restore, the page is still frozen.
    I don't think there is a problem with my computer because it doesn't happen if I used to go to google maps, then G-cards works normally.
    This phenomenon didn't happen before the last update Google or Firefox. I used Fiefox for some years and also Google Maps on previous computers and on this one and not had it before.
    It is a relatively young computer (Asus EeSlate 121) less than a year. I have used Firefox since I bought it and until recently had no problem with Google Maps.

    I solved it myself, after the 'note' that was FF/Mozilla, just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system was, I wnnt back to check my plug-ins, etc. I downloaded the latest Java, the TWO 32-bit AND 64-bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now everything works.
    Thank you

  • There is a problem with the driver for a wireless adapter that if it is not compatible or not supported

    My grandmother came to visit me in Belgium and brought her laptop with her. It is Windows 7 and I bought in Ukraine. Thus, she cannot use wireless internet at my place. Troubleshooting scan says there is a problem with the driver for a wireless adapter that is it is not compatible or not supported, something like that. All sound systems are in Russian is not easy for me to explain it. Is it possible to fix this problem or she can't use her laptop to go on the net at all? Thank you!

    If it's a driver fault, can go you on another pc to work to manufacturers support web site for the 'Ukraine' pc and see if the wireless drivers are available there. If they are, download the latest compatible drivers for your pc and transfer them to it by a stick of memory from SD or USB and then install them.

    This may be due to a setting of your network security wireless, for example, that is your network is set to WPA2 but pc does not support. Check configurations for compatibility with your router wireless sound.

    See if anything here help - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/setting-wireless-network#1TC=windows-7

    At worst, is it not possible to connect via a cable to your router, esp, if is only a visit to sound.
