Download problems - "Preparing to copy" box appears, and the download stops.

Hello good Samaritan! :^)

I will describe the most recent appearance:

I tried to download the vines 'Video Vacant"single by 1. By clicking DOWNLOAD and 2. Clicking on SAVE (according to instructions).

Download proceeded normally (and quickly) until a "Preparing to copy" box appeared and stopped the download.

At this point the download box showed: download.sonybmgdigital.com TheVines_VacantVideo.mp3

(Note that the download 'bar' is green).

Estimated time: 1 second (6.68 MB copied 5.77 MB)

Download at: C:\User...\TheVines_VacantVideo.mp3

Transfer rate: 1.89 Mbps

The box of "Preparing to copy" showed: copy preparation

(Note that the 'bar' has a section of green moving continuously from left to right).

go to

0 items (0 byte) to discover...

Nothing happens. (I've waited 1 hour the second time). It is finally necessary to restart the computer to clear the screen. (Clicking Cancel in the box "Preparing to copy" provides you with a 'Cancellation' box that also does nothing).

I had the same problem last week to try to download a program from another Web site. (I WAS eventually able to download the program by clicking OPEN instead of SAVE). Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated! :^)

Thank you!

Paul

    bastyav,
    We use the exact and some error message in more detail on the issue.  This problem occurs with any file on the disk or only some of them?  You are logged as administrator?  Has anything changed recently (hardware or software)?

    The first thing I would say to run a Virus scan and malware.  If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can get one here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

    If there are no problems found then not try the following steps:

  • Adobe Flash Player (Vista) internet ((spécifiquement ferme ville,, sur facebook)) a box appears and tells me that there is a problem with an add-on that was installed called flash10c.ocx

    original title: Flash Player

    I have installed Adobe Flash Player on my PC (Vista), and every time I want the internet ((spécifiquement ferme ville,, sur facebook)) a box appears and tells me that there is a problem with an add-on that was installed called flash10c.ocx. How can I solve this problem? I tried everything I could think of. I deleted my cookies (and Add-ons), re-installed Adobe Flash Player and nothing works.

    What browser are you using IE or Firefox or others?  Sometimes special versions of Flash are required for browsers, and besides, IE 64-bit does not support modules including Flash, she, that is to say, it takes the 32-bit version, even on a 64-bit machine.

    Take a look at IE / tools / manage add-ons and make sure that 'Shockwave Flash Object' is enabled.

    Check that you downloaded the correct version in the first place.

    .. .all dialog box appears on screen is covered in "' so I can't put passwords or addresses of sites and if the sound is on a morse codes like noise appears with the comma...

    The character you are evidence is a single quotation mark or tick rather than a comma, but the character you see in reality is probably an asterisk in a mask the password text box. In both cases, the problem remains the same.

    You have a key stuck on your keyboard which instantly fills any box entry with the typed characters, they are ticks or asterisks. The only audible ringer is a normal computer error indicating that the keyboard buffer is full, but entry continues, once again an indication of a stuck keyboard key.

    Try another keyboard. It may be possible to launch a key by a sharp tap, but the problem will probably persist in the future. I hope that you don't talk about your laptop.

  • Dialog boxes appear off the screen

    Hello, I have problems with dialog boxes in Illustrator CS6.

    Dialog boxes are appearing in various different locations rather than a central location on the screen...

    For example: the Save dialog box appears half off the screen towards the lower right section of the screen. Various other boxes appear at the top left, top right. All dialogs are mobile, so I can reposition in the Middle, but the next time I used appear where they were not at the Center.

    I work on both a 13 "macook pro separately and with and 27" apple screen attached. Dialog boxes are visiable on 27 "screen, but often in odd places.

    Is there a way I can reset their position?

    I tried reseting all the dialogues, trashed the preferences in the preferences in the folder of the library on the computer but no luck. I'm puzzled.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Thank you

    nosbornf,

    It is important that Illy is closed when you reset the preferences.

    Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if it helps:

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer;

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift at startup.

    4) move the folder with Illy closed;

    (5) browse and try the relevant among other options;

    Even worse, you can (if all else fails and no best answer appears):

    (6) uninstall, run the cleanup tool and reinstall.

    Hi Andy,.

    I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.
