If this has happened less than 10-15 days ago, and if you remember the date when shortcuts were works well, please do a system restore and choose the restore point date 'good' asyour.

To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

Note: In most cases, do it in safe mode system restore is more preferable.
Here's how to get safe mode:

  • Grayed out to apply button sound properties

    Recently, I cleaned up my registry and find now I'm unable to use the button apply in the sound properties. When I right click the speaker icon in the status bar and go to playback devices I can define what device I want a default, but cannot apply. I use usb headphones and I switch between them and my speakers. the same problem happens in the recording tab and the tab sounds, not having not although this problem anywhere else. I'm sure it's a registry problem as I cleaned it a few hours before, I noticed the problem.

    also when I test the speakers or the headphones, both work well, so I know this isn't a problem of driver or something like that.

    also tried some registy different programs, but no joy of fixing

    any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Ugh! Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the

    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.
    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it

    You may need to do a clean reinstall of Windows.

    Disable the properties button in the settings of local network in XP

    Hello...

    I have this problem, I want to disable the button of properties on connections to the LAN so that settings cannot be changed, I know I can just change the user limited, but I need account or an administrator account, the problem is that my users already know how to change the IP address to connect to the Internet.

    So I already do a little research in google and microsoft and he said: I need to go to the gpedit.msc and go to 'Access user, administrative templates, Network Configuration, and then select network connections' but my computer doesn't have the "Network connections" folder, so I try in regedit will "-> HKCU-> software-> network Microsoft Windows-> CurrentVersion-> policy->" and once again I have no options 'Network '. , so I create under the policies of the 'touch' 'Network'... and the 'DWORD' 'NoNetSetup' and restart the PC... but it just doesn't work.

    Any idea? ... I really really need this... BTW, all customers are WinXP.

  • How can I activate the TCP/IPv4 properties button?

    Hello everyone, I am trying to solve a problem on my Windows 7 netbook. When I run ipconfig he returned only this line "IP Configuration of Windows" with later data. When I go to the wireless adapter and select Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), the properties button is disabled. I unchecked the IPv6 checkbox. The wireless adapter is connected to the WiFi hotspot, but the status is not 'connected' for IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity connectivity. I already used the netsh command to reset the interfaces by this link ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/tcpipv4-properties-button-disabled/347899fa-b60a-40a3-ad2c-78ef5e0dca37 ).

    To uninstall it just open services.msc, double click on 'Service of safety nut' and change the Startup Type to disable, and then restart Windows. When Windows are online again, the button of properties will be available and the safety nut will no longer appear on the services.

    It will be useful.

  • custom scaling button problem

    Hi, I'm trying to customize some controls, but I have a problem with the construction of a button. I replaced the central image by a more realistic appearance and now I want to change the scale to better understand my button again, but I can't put across the 'ladder' after I want to be able to better run the needle and I can't choose the position of the needle. I am attaching the file so you can view and maybe help me to make this more comfortable button thank you!

    to customize your Ctrl button, click on the 'key' to display the icon.then of "clips" you can do what you want with the image or the button of properties, including the streching the balance to make pivot 360 degs, maximum range, no ticks, ticks, etc... BTW, reorganize tab is practical by placing objects to the front or the rear of several images

Windows and buttons in properties is grey outside, it wasn't before but today I went to a link to a website to try to repair the files in my theme after that, it was gray would be out so what do I do? :(

    Registry cleaners are dangerous programs.  I do not recommend their use for these sorts of reasons.  Your best bet at the moment is to restore your registry to a time before you had this problem using "System Restore".  One of these two methods, you should get going again.

    If you want to use the States for this button several times, I recommend to save the style or to create styles in the object Style Manager where you can also modify built-in three States: Normal, rollover and down.

  • Does anyone know how to link a video full screen (No button graphics) as a button to play another video program in yet?

    Please see my post from 7/27 copied then:

    CS6 still...

    I need video loop as the first Full-frame play to act as a button (if activated) to read the main program.

    Since a file .psd is necessary to create a button, I created a file .psd with syntax layer as follows: SEE. SCREENSHOT OF PSD LAYER BELOW

    Layer group: (+) Motion Menu group < I have added a space on each side more sign for this forum only note, if I leave the spaces, it transforms into a chart >

    Under layer within the MM group: (%) Video

    NOTE 1: Under inner layer MM group has a mask layer specifications manual Adobe <see screenshot below >

    NOTE 2: Since there is no visible button, < any Full-frame video must act as a button > I don't understand a (= 1) to highlight the layer

    I imported the .psd two layers in still in the first Menu to play. SEE MENU AGAIN: MOTION TAB SCREENSHOT BELOW

    Then, in the properties of the Menu tab, I clicked on the motion tab and drag the video pick whip in the video asset file < menu.mov > in the project Panel to assign the 33:06 .mov video looping as the first play in the main Menu. (See Menu file name: Midnight swim main movement Menu_5 in the screenshot below)

    I do the same with the Audio selection on the same video resource icon .mov to play the audio track with the first play Main Menu.

    Once I have 'add the video background' and 'add audio' to the menu first Play through the selection icon. Rather than place the video in the .psd correct Sub-Layer box to the left of the necessary, creates a new locked layer "background" in the main Menu of Photoshop, but with the always correct to the menu.mov...

    See screenshot below where I had first to unlock the new layer, then I changed the name of the new layer (%) Video and finally he nested within the Group of layers as an Undercoat. So as the new layer does not have the compulsory mask, I add a layer with layer mask: Add a layer mask: reveal all. Finally, I save the .psd file to allow again to pick up the first listen change / hand menu .psd.

    But when I saw the project, the first video game playing on the preview. Which is OK because it is not rendered. Then, I made the Menu driven via the icon in the preview screen. But curiously, he restores the audio but NOTE the video as menu.mov assigned (preview is empty when finished rendering) and double strangely, it makes the appropriate length of the video from the video file program! < do not forget, the assets of video and audio right is assigned correctly in the main Menu: button tab properties MOTION - see screenshot below >

    Perhaps. because the button link play first is the video chapter program main named Midnight swim. (The button link IS correct because if the viewer active / click full screen on the first video game anywhere on the screen as a button, it is supposed to start the main program)

    Bottom line - the rendering should allow preview to play as the correct play first video resource (the 33:06 menu.mov) attributed the tab not query the link main program Midnight swim. I've never met this dysfunction.

    I have the manual .pdf CS6 online and a paper copy of the CS3 manual where I took care to implement the .psd file and the recall of programming so that everything works correctly. In ADDITION, I've done this before with success, but the only difference was that my previous effort was not full-screen video. It was actually more complicated with many buttons and a sector specifically where hidden video read. My point is that it worked perfectly using the syntax above, but for reasons I can't understand, don't worry this time. It must be my syntax layer .psd or something I'm missing or wrong in yet. Please see screenshot below also diagram again.

    Any experience with the help of video Full Frame as the first play, Please HELP! I'm on a deadline, as usual. Stan Jones, you're such a champion, are you there?

    I'll get the screenshots by your request and answer tomorrow morning, Lun Pacific time 7/27.

    Thank you

    As always, I'm on a deadline.

    The part of the motion MUST BE the bottom (i.e. its own layer outside the button group). Do not use the prefix % etc. You will have only a = 1 in the Group of buttons and a background layer.

  • Change font button

    Hi all

    long as I played with the Director, so please forgive me if this is obvious. A 12 Director, I find that it is no problem to change the color of my control buttons once I have them, but when I view properties, I see no way to change the font of the label on the button itself. Did I miss something? Thanks in advance.

    It's true - the font and size can be changed in the Flash button component properties tab.

    My advice is that this button, or again the old style classic one, is not visually. Better to simply create your own

  • Where is the button Action 8 Captivate?

    I'm working on a responsive project in Captivate 8.

    In the slide properties panel, you can select Options, action and Style.  When you select Action, you find "Enter" and "exit".

    There are buttons on some of my slides.  Properties for buttons are properties, the timing and Position.  None of them Action.

    The Properties section contains the name of Style, Fill, Stroke, nature, and Shadow and reflection, but according to the manual, this section should also contain a section of the actions.  This isn't.

    Should not lie under calendar and is the station.

    Of course, Miss something.  Where can I put into action for a button in a sensitive project?

    I had the same problem. The block that contains Style Options of shares was completely empty. It happened to me when I started using CP8, so I did not know that these tabs were missing. The placeholder for the tabs was there but not the tabs. I closed and reopened CP8, and all was well again. Did not long so I can't speculate on how it happened.
