  Leo,

  You can try the list (5) being less likely).

  The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

  If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

  Even worse, you can:

  (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

• Hi, I have the latest version of lightroom. It works fine until last night when I tried to import some files in lightroom. It will come out with a message "could not copy a file at the location requested. (113)

  Hi could someone help me with this problem.

  I tried to import pictures to destination Macintosh HD or my external hard drive but it continue to go out with the same message "could not copy a file at the location requested. (114) items 1-100: articles 101-114.

  Interestingly, it was working fine up until yesterday.

  I tried restarting computer, I have the latest version of lightroom, I use Mac Os x Yosemite 10.10.4

  Thank you very much

  Hi josepht,.

  Looks like your destination folder does not have a full read and write permissions.

  Try to set the destination as a specific folder that contains all the permissions on your local or external drive, then, check.

  Kind regards

• Firefox hangs at startup: update / reinstall / profile wipe / purge addon has not set

  Hello

  As the subject says, my Firefox crashes now immediately at startup. (It's on Windows 10 64-bit.) Here is what I tried which did not fix the crash:
  -Refresh
  -Reinstall
  -Disable all addons
  -uninstall the software which provides plugins (Flash, Acrobat Reader)
  -delete the profile

  Here are the situations where Firefox goes not down:
  -safe mode
  -use every night instead of 40.0.3.

  This is one of the first reports of the crash from today (before I tried a ton of things):
  https://crash-stats.Mozilla.com/report/index/BP-50b4ac99-cc1f-4157-93cd-5ad192150920

  And here is one of the latter:
  https://crash-stats.Mozilla.com/report/index/BP-caf2ff15-3d5a-45ff-bc00-cd58b2150920

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Given that could start Firefox in Mode safe, you try to disable Firefox to use hardware acceleration?

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

  In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again. Any difference?

  Normally, I give the following advice, but for Windows 10 users, the problem can actually be that Firefox has not caught with driver to the latest updates. Your experience with nightly suggest that this is the case with your hardware. (But I'll list anyway...)

  Because hardware acceleration improves the appearance of fonts and animations, you can check the website of your computer manufacturer to see if the graphics card/chipset driver updates are available for your system. This article suggests ways sure to check: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

• Tabs not saved after 10.1 Firefox crash. Worked fine until this upgrade

  Before moving to Firefox 10.1 if Firefox crashed or was closed via the Task Manager, the next time, he opened a session restore screen would jump to the top and you could restore all tabs or select the ones that you want to restore. After the 10.1 upgraded never this screen appears.

  I like the fact that cookies can be erased when I close FF so I went one by one on the options under closing firefox clear history. Turn on you can leave checked everything with the exception of the navigation history. That should be unchecked and session restore works. I never thought to check there without your suggestion so thank you very much!

  Hello raulganau, welcome.

  I suggest to try the system restore to restore the system to a date before the problem started. Try this...
  1. click on START
  2. click on "all programs".
  3. click on "Accessories".
  4. click on "system tools."
  5. click on "system restore."
  6 follow the instructions on the screen to restore the system to a date before the problem started
  Although the system restore does not target the personal data, I recommend always backup your personal data, just in case something happens.
  For reference, I have included a link that provides more specific information about the restoration of the system and how to use it:

• Message: My windows Movie Maker has stopped working in the last week.

  Message: My windows stopped filmmaker working within the last week, began when the error message "the collections of file is not valid or is damaged. A new empty collections file has been created.

  So far WMM worked without fault, as full support has been removed for XP I am now unable to get all the patches. There is also no file conversion to allow to allow the import of files. Times, error message "class not registered"?
  What I'd really like is a copy of WMM version 5.1 (Build 2600 xpsp_sp3_gdr.101209 - 1647: Service Pack 3) Windows Movie Maker Version 2.1. 4028 0, I would continue with WMM, but am completely reluctant to upgrade to Windows 7. Someone at - he found a solution for the problem that I am facing.

  If you can open Movie Maker... try to go to... Tools / Options /.
  Compatibility on the left tab, click on the "all default settings"

  Also... Do a restore of the system in Mode safe for a time

  Read this link which has also a few solutions:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• When I try to add to quick launch Explorer stops working and restarts. It used to work fine.

  I drag or right-click and click "Add to quick launch" windows Explorer stopped working and restart. It used to work fine but no has not for a while since an update.

  It could be a problem of shell extensions. These shell extensions are responsible for creating the options you will see in the menu when you right click on a file using Windows Explorer.

  Troubleshooting Windows Explorer errors
  http://www.HelpWithWindows.com/techfiles/Explorer-crashes.html

  The ShellExView is a stand-alone executable. It does not require any installation or additional dll process. Simply copy it to any folder you want, then run. Once you run it, wait a few seconds until ShellExView charge all shell extensions.

  The rule is to turn off non-Microsoft extensions. Click on the "Type" column, you will now see the context menus in the group. Now, try to disable all non - Microsoft Shortcut Menus (with light pink background) and see if the problem goes away. If it has been re - activate the context Menu one by one by checking every time if the problem returns until you got the culprit.

  I hope I could help
