I have Windows Vista and was able to SAVE flash from adobe, but it does not open.
I have Windows Vista and was able to SAVE flash from adobe, but it does not open. Can someone send me a link to a fix. I can't open videos, games or live videos. Someone please help. Should I change my operating system?
Software Adobe isn't really an option-backup software, you install adobe active X software to enable it. Whatever it is,
Just go to macromedia.com to install adobe... If she refuses, then your user account is not set as an administrator, to change
account, disable the parents settings. Macromedia's flash player.

my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs it used to, when I used to open the Task Manager it would be things like 'process' 'services' 'preformance' ect. in the tabs. but now when I open it it shows just a window that has two columns, one labeled task, and other labeled status. It shows what im running, but there any options at all as the winger treat ect. the window is not even an exit or minimize the icon as other windows are in the upper right. the only way to close it alt f4 do - what I do? Ive already tried to restart the computer, and I'm on the only account to administer it. I have a screenshot of the new manager of task here: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k621/a_bakedpotato/vistataskmanagerisue.jpg
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to
If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

I changed my computer and am trying to re - install PS elements 13.0 on Windows 10. When I type my license serial number, Adobe responds "he does not recognize this serial number. When I go to the serial number recovery service, first of all it tells me it is not a product registered with my name and when I type the serial number for the old serial numbers, the system responds to that serial number is alredady registered and cannot be registered twice. What needs to be done to get out of this problem of serial number? Thank you.
Hello Charles,
to check this, you should take a look at the Adobe database to see what is stored/recorded on your accounts. You will find general information on your account Adobe https://accounts.adobe.com/> see My productsView all the > these products are associated with your Adobe ID > name > serial number.
[And to find your serial number have a look here http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html > I've lost my serial number >] see comments.

I have Windows 7, my computer does not start. I did the Startup Repair and he won't fix it. I did the system configuration information. and that did not help. What to do now? The comment of Bios makes me fear that it could damage my computer forever. What should do? Help, please
Hi Alan,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that the computer does not restart even after running Startup Repair and I will be happy to answer your query. I appreciate the efforts made to try to make it work. Let me ask you;
- How do you run the Startup Repair?
- Do you have Windows 7 repair disc?
- Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
- Have you plugged an external equipment, except the keyboard and mouse?
- You are able to start the computer in safe mode?
- What is the brand and model of the computer?
Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
There could be several reasons why he's not leaving including hardware as well. In addition, it could be because the master boot record (MBR) has been damaged. When you try to use the Startup Repair tool to repair the MBR, the Startup Repair tool indicates that no problem was found or it does not work yet.
If you have any connected USB flash drive or other external devices connected to the computer, if you please, remove them and try to run the Startup Repair tool.
If you haven't tried using Windows 7 repair disc, you can try the following:
1. Insert the Windows 7 disc
2. restart your computer
3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD player, do it.
4. Select your language, click Next.
5. click on repair your computer
6. Select the operating system you want to repair.You can also perform the system restore by selecting the restore point when you think it worked very well. System Restore, choose advanced options using the disc.
Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.
I also recommend to contact the computer manufacturer to get the done diagnostic equipment.
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

Windows does not recognize a blank disc in the DVD player.
When you try to burn a CD and have a blank CD - R into the DVD player, I get 'Windows cannot read the disk in drive D ". I tried other discs and DVD, but it seems that Windows does not recognize a blank disc. I have another DVD drive and the same is true here as well. I tried to update the drivers and deactivation and reactivation of readers but nothing is done. However, CDs or DVDs with the content are recognized.
I had the same problem on Windows 7 32-bit (suspect this fix as well under Vista). After trying everything under the Sun entered Services (search for programs and files, type 'Services') and looked "Shell Hardware Detection. Found that it was disabled (not sure how he got that way). Right-click on it to get the properties. Change startup type to "Automatic", press apply then OK. Problem solved without even having to restart!
