Drop-down menu freezes

Once connected, the first time I click on a selection from a drop-down list, the selection I choose freezes on the screen, and I can see it until I restart my computer.

It is an example, because it's a little hard to explain.

I connect.
I open a program.
I want to save the file, so I use the menu drop-down of the to do.
The SAVE AS Word freezes on my computer screen, even if everything still works fine.

Hope this helps to understand the question, but I can't find answers on this.  Thanks in advance

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

  • The Drop Down Menu number of Excel spreadsheets?

    Trying to open an Excel file created by my boss in number. There a few in drop-down menus, (pictured below) and they will not display correctly. Many prefer using numbers than Excel, anyone know of any tricks to make this menu drop-down appear in numbers as in Excel?

    In numbers, they simply appear not at all. Help, please! Thank you

    In Excel, you can automatically fill a drop-down list with values within a specific range of cells through 'Data Validation '.

    Numbers have no drop-down menu, but it doesn't have a Menu called data format.  It is easy to populate a drop-down list with values manually; Select the cells that contain different values which you want to make a choice and format on the Shortcut Menu. The result will be something very similar to your screenshot.

    But in doing so fully automatic as in Excel is not currently possible in number.

    Numbers provides an attractive work environment, but if you frequently need to exchange documents with your boss and your boss uses Excel, then better use Excel.

  • Drop-down menu of Firefox address bar Sporatically stops working

    I had this problem for about a year and some parts of the year are worse than others, and now, according to the latest update of Firefox, this problem is at its absolute worst.

    The drop-down menu in the address bar of Firefox sometimes stops displaying my newest and popularly seen the websites that I have visited. Whenever I have updated Firefox, the problem goes away and he used to stay at the gap to end of weeks in a row, but now the drop stops working almost whenever I close Firefox after this last update a few days earlier.

    This problem persists in the Mode of Firefox safe and apparently appears randomly any plugins/extensions I can I have installed/enabled.

    I am at a complete loss here and would appreciate any help because this drop in the address bar is one of my favorite features in any browser, and it becomes annoying to have to reinstall the plugins more (when I use the Sync feature to reinstall the plugins, the problem is even worse).

    For problems with the file places.sqlite (bookmarks, historical) database, you can check in the Firefox profile folder.

    If the extension of Maintenance of places cannot repair the database places.sqlite file remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to rebuild the database places.sqlite latest JSON Firefox backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.

  • My drop down menu changed search bar

    Everything I see that I get help on the search bar in the upper right corner shows the emblem of a little search engine. I don't have much, and I can't get it back. Worse still, when I start typing, I search point that I must now address a long list of terms of indefinable query from nowhere!

    I don't know how I changed all form the way it had been forever. I want to just my little drop down menu with a few indicators of search engine to this topic, and I just want to see my previous research, not what is trendy!

    Hi relem, I have already explained the reasoning behind the change: it is now much faster and easier to use different search engines that your browser by one on a wide base. If you want to do in the old search bar, you must first define a different engine in the search bar, search & then switch back (because the default value is also used in the address/home/new tab bar). It's a simple click!

  • Drop-down menu cannot be selected by clicking

    I'm under 20.2 FF on Mac OS X 10.8.3. I recently found this item in the drop-down menu cannot be selected by clicking, although it can be selected by pressing 'enter' on the keyboard. I don't have any add-ons installed, so that shouldn't be the problem. Like going to http://www.newegg.com/ and click on the search menu, I can't select all the options. Thank you for your help in advance.

  • The drop down menu boxes that appear under the heading of Firefox do not fill. A form of box on the screen, but it is empty. Given zero no has not solved the problem.

    The file, editing, display and help tabs that were on the previous version of FireFox Menu bar top are apparently incorporated into the "FireFox" drop-down box in the latest version of the browser. I was unable to open those tabs earlier, so by the recommendation of the Support Forum, I have Firefox on my laptop. Now not only the tabs above are missing after this reset, but the drop down menu does not open in any submenus. What I see now is a box on the surrounded black screen, but sub menu selections such as save as, print, copy etc are not shown in the box. This is why the Navigator is not functional in its current state.
    Does anyone have a fix for this problem that will not delete my favorites and other content stored on Firefox? Please save me to return to Internet Explorer.
