  • Why the right mouse clicking on the icons and thumbnails cause error message and the screen resets?

    When I returned from vacation, my PC worked as usual, but later in the day that it would be not laod, it gets to a certain point and then a blue screen and try a reboot. Managed to use the 'safe mode' and finally 'System restore', but it kept crashing until I went back as it would go, i.e. end of /April. Been authorized since except this error right click of the mouse.

    Looks like you may have a bad Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) add on.

    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Here are a few thoughts:

    When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong to behave on a right click, begins to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

    Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added sometimes without your knowledge or consent when you install some software.

    Have you installed new software because the system finally worked correctly and if so, what?

    Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).  When you right click on something, the Explorer wants to display a menu of choices.  If there is a bad or outdated extension, Explorer may crash.

    If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment, then there is no message the next time you do whatever it is you're doing, you've found and fixed (or perhaps you can fix).

    First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for Microsoft not to sort the display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) if all the "" s are on top and easy to see.

    The s in 'No' would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there are visits, on Explorer crashing and what other people have done about it.

    You can Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing

    (you must fill in the name of adds your suspect on).

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

    Right click and disable the extensions one at a time non-Microsoft keep a list so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.

    If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

    Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again.  Last extension you have turned off the
    a suspect.

    You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

    The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

    I have not your problem, but when you turn off/turn on extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you find the problem, I reboot and retest anyway to really be sure that the problem has disappeared.

    If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

    If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD), you must do this:

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.
    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Finally, I'd be curious to know why you say you get an error message and tell us what the error message said.

  • TOC icons and thumbnail previews lo res

    Hello.

    I have almost finished my publication (1024 x 768) and tested in my iPad 3. Everything seems to work OK except for the TOC icons and thumbnail previews, that lo res and strongly pixelated look. I tried to download my own TOC icons, but even following the instructions (JPG or PNG files to 70 x 70) they always seem lo res on the thumbnails, I don't even know if they can be changed.

    Is it normal or I do something wrong? The TOC icons and thumbnail previews seemed sharp and hi res when I did a test with a document of 2048 x 1536. But I can't make them look hi res with the document 1024 x 768.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    C.

    For your TOC files, there is a strange quirk of DPS you can take advantage of. In Article Properties, you can specify only a picture of 70 x 70 pixels. However, when you import an article, the PNG image can be any size. If you create a PNG image of 140 x 140 in your article file, for example, and that article of import, your table of contents will be better on the HD device. I'm not aware anyway to improve the browse - mode previews is generally not a problem.

  • Problems with the date and time - have to reset the date & time on reboot

    original title: problems with the date and time

    Whenever I turn on my computer (Windows XP 2002) I click on F2.  Then I re - set the date and time it occurred in January 2006 1 h every time I have turn off the computer.  Can someone tell me what I need to do?

    You need to replace the battery in time clock (RTC) real of your computer.  It can also be called the CMOS or BIOS battery.

    Many computers, this battery is an inexpensive CR2032 button available in almost every pharmacy corner.  There are, however, some computers (especially laptops) that require a different (and probably more expensive) battery.

    Whatever the expense, almost all of these batteries are easy to replace.

    To get help, post back with the brand and model of your computer.

    I can't open the system when he was sht down. But the system was the heat and I have to remove the battery for a while and it should re-sttart, what the problem.

    Too generic a question, can you clarify considerably more for us? Your question could be reformulated in the following way and always be true?

    "I can't start my computer once he has had a BSOD. Something overheated, but I don't know. I removed the CMOS battery and replaced in order to asure me that a bad overclock on a core component has not caused the problem. Now, it restarts correctly, what is / was the problem? »

  • Why some items in 'Open an existing project' have just the name of the project and others have access to the entire file path?

    I have SP1 2012 LabVIEW and on the main screne of LabVIEW selecrt "show projects".

    Why some elements of 'Existing Open' (project) have just the name of the project and others have access to the entire file path?

    Examples of two lines in the list of projects.

    Ping.lvproj (with a path: C:\Users\mlevine\Documents\MPCE EQT\EQT Software\Ping.lvproj)

    C:\Users\mlevine\Documents\Common package Mission trainer (CMPT) \SUW Surface Warfare\Weapon permission Panel (WAP) \WAP LabVIEW Software\WAP fire authorization server 28 April 2015

    No chance, it's because I made a copy of this software and stored on a network drive power off and it went out of this network drive?

    So if LabVIEW sees two or more versions of the same software, he decides to use the name to differentiate between full path?

    I'd still rather it shows just the name of the project and if you hover over the name it shows the full path.

    Thank you

    Mark

    If you have opened a project of the same name from a different location, it is when it shows the full path both - in this case showing just the name of the project would not help because it would be the same thing!

  • I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?

    I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer.  If yes how can I do this?

    If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:
