Drawing program has limited functionality

My paint program has only limited functionality.
Example: The text toolbar is not available to open (gray), and even less use.

What's up with this and why it does not?
Y at - it an update or download 'complete paint program' available somewhere. I couldn't find anything online.

I am running Vista Business.

  • C7280 - cannot scan. Error message indicates another program has control over the device

    I open the HP Device Manager to do a scan. I accepted the parameters and the scanning started. But the part passing through the analysis, I stopped the scan that I realized that I wanted to change the resolution. I leave the Manager device and rebooted but when I did, I got to tell an error message:

    'Cannot perform the function you have requested because another program has control over ice dev'.

    I have nothing else open and so I can't work on what program has control over the printer.

    C7280 Prtinter. Mac OS x 10.7.

    The Device Manager has not been updated for Lion and there is still no specific Lion software for your printer.

    So far, you have the choice of scanning with picture Capture or preview.  I'm sorry.

  • "'Monitor' program has been found running on your system -"

    A "monitor" program has been found running on your system - please unload from memory "Please can someone explain how to do this." I am running Windows Vista Home Premium + SP2. Thank you.  "Silverfox".

    The above message appears several times on my screen - what is it and how I unload it (sorry if assigned to the subject not listed)

    Silverfox salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Leave your post, it seems that you have found an error, a "monitor" program has been found running on your system - please unload the memory on your computer screen.

    Quick questions:

    1. When exactly the error? Is - this random?
    2. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    You can try the following hotfixes and check if that helps get rid of the pop up.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    It will be useful.

    Get back with the result of the steps suggested also if you need help on Windows let us know and we will be happy to help you.

  • "dsca.exe program has stopped working".

    At startup I get an error message indicating "dsca.exe program has stopped working" how to fix this?

    dsca.exe is a Dell program used with, it of the support center and is not necessary to run at startup.  Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and download, install and run Autoruns.  Pass the all tab.  Check all the items until you find the one who mentions dsca.exe or appears related to Dell (check all the items in the list because there may be multiple entries).  For each entry, uncheck the box to prevent it from start to start, and then click OK.  Restart the message should be gone (and you not have lost all functionality to your system by doing this).

    I hope this helps.

  • I tried to install Health Vault Connection, but my laptop says that the program has stopped working

    I tried to install Health Vault Connection. My computer, an HP laptop, tells me that the program has stopped working. It works on Windows XP and Windows 7 PC. I recently discovered that it will not work in DOS. How to get this running and how to uninstall BACK so that this program will be executed. Will affect the functioning of the laptop?

    Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

    There are no BACKS to win and has not been for some time, so I don't know where you got this information.

    Clean boot the PC, then reinstall HealthVault

  • uninstalled applications, received message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. After several reboots, still same message.

    Original title: 2 numbers do not know if they are related

    I have 2 questions and I don't know if they are related. Several days ago I was doing some cleaning and uninstalling programs to free up space. I don't know what I started with, but it seemed to go ok. However, after all that I've tried to uninstall gave me the message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. I rebooted the computer more than once during this period, but it still says that.

    Then my internet explore has stopped working just for 2 or 3 days. I've been using google chrome to access things, but it is rather slow.
    I ran repeated virus and malware scans my norton security and the microsoft Web site, and all said I am clean.

    Yes, it's windows 7 I appreciate the suggestions, but the problem was that he wouldn't LET me not uninstall anything. He gave me the waiting message please do anything, and he's not missing if I stopped and restarted. Finally, I gave up. I saved my files to my external hardrive and just do a full recovery of the computer. He solved the problem of installed programs and the internet problem explore both, although I hoped it would avoid going that drastic.
