  • What type of certificates are not suitable for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?

    It is not clear to me, of the literature exactly what types of certificate are not suitable for the signature of the CC2014 HTML5 extensions.

    I used a Thawte 'Adobe Air' certificate for signing extensions based on Flash. It is now expired. Can I buy the same type and that will work cross-platform for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?

    See http://www.thawte.com/code-signing/content-signing-certificates/adobe-air/index.html

    Thank you

    Hi meeky2,

    Required certificates have not changed for HTML5 extensions, so the same type of certificate that you had before work ('Adobe Air' certificates are very good).

    Note that if you only distribute your HTML5 extension through modules Adobe / Adobe Exchange, then there is no need to use a paid certificate. If you distribute your extension elsewhere, then you should do the same thing as you did with the extensions of the AIR.

    Best regards

  • on registration of the desktop icons are not displayed

    Registration using Windows XP, the desktop icons do not appear.

    You see only your background image and the wallpaper?

    Miss all your desktop icons and you don't see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen or are simply missing icons and you can see the taskbar at the bottom?

    Check the simple things first.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop, choose Arrange icons by and make sure the option show desktop icons has a check mark next to it.  This will work if you don't miss you that the desktop icons, but still see the Start button and the taskbar.  If you are missing as the Start button and the taskbar, which isn't your problem.

    If only you can see your wallpaper background picture and don't see the desktop icons and no start button or taskbar, this means that the explorer.exe program does not run (and it must be running) or the explorer.exe program are usually afflicted.  A good way to think about at the moment, it is that the process explorer.exe "is" your desktop.

    If this is the case of malware in general prepares.

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your version of XP and the Service Pack?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    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..

    Sometimes your anti malware program to quarantine (and indeed remove) your file explorer.exe (or other critical files on the XP system) if it finds that the file is infected.  The file may really be infected, but you can know for sure and then reconsider your anti malware options.

    First, you need to get your work desk in order to have room for manoeuvre, then you can solve your problem of potential malware.

    Of your background image, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and open Task Manager.

    Look at the processes tab and if the process explorer.exe is not running, start it as follows:

    In Task Manager, click file, new task, and in the Open box, enter:

    %windir%\explorer.exe

    Click OK and see if get you your office.  If you get an error, we need to know what it says.

    If explorer.exe is already running in the processes tab, it is likely that the object of the affection and will need to be replaced (which is not difficult).

    If you notice that the explorer.exe process is already running in the Task Manager, highlight the explorer.exe process, and then click end process to stop and start a new explorer.exe process as described above.

    If things look right now, your system is still not fixed, but it should be enough usable so now you can fix it.

    I would start with these scans:

    Perform scans for malware first, then these scans by operating clean, difficulty of problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

  • The desktop icons are not displayed, but appear on the office toolbar

    Recently, my niece tried to take a picture of the webcam and use it for paper painted.  She then changed back.  The next time that the computer was used, all desktop icons disappeared!

    They are still in their folder, and if the Office toolbar is enabled, all the icons are there.

    If the office is a right-click, the options menu under rearrange icons by are grayed out. the display does not appear.

    It is not a malware problem; system has MSE and in addition, the nice people at MalwareTeks have crossed me half a dozen ladies without anything to reveal.  In addition, all dashboard software works very well in the start menu, or quick launch icons or toolbars of office.

    It is XP/SP3 with all updates.  Everything seems to work, it's just that there are no icons on the desktop!

    In addition, if a new user is set up, icons ARE there on THIS desk.

    Well done.

    If the system has installed Service Pack 3 and you have a XP installation CD is an older MS if you want SFC to run quietly, you can use your old XP CD to create a new CD to install XP with SP3 "listened slip" in it.  You will also find have such a useful thing in the future.

    Unfortunately, the MS Answers forum don't ask these questions when a new topic is created, or we would now.

    There are many how to tutorials slip stream XP.

    Here is one such article that works the first time if you follow the directions (you could lose a CD or two in the process of learning well).

    I wonder if Microsoft has a method but there is probably no compelling reason for Member States to create a...  I would try it if they do.

  • desktop to go - not suitable for my use of HP Mini 1000 Mi

    Not tapping on my Asus 901 Hardy Heron no xp. My Mini 1000 Mi arrived an hour ago. Update Manager is running. I put e-mail and installed Firefox Add-ons that I prefer. By doing these simple tasks, I noticed that the MIE Office will seriously interfere with my use of the Mini 1000 Mi. I want to use a desktop Ubuntu Hardy Heron based due to how they place on my desk, programs and files, I use every day. However, MIE office moves from one to the other more difficult for me, more laborious. I'm probably as a user may be that HP designers had in mind when you profile the customer waited. Anyway, before you start using my Mini for tasks related to work, so before entering crucial data installed, I'll try to find my way to a more traditional Ubuntu desktop. I searched this compartment of the forums and didn't find a similar lament. My hunch is that other users of Mini 1000 Mi (Ubuntu) want to escape at the interface of the BREAD, then perhaps that HP will soon offer a non-MIE as a standard option interface. Meanwhile, my research to find out how to have a traditional Ubuntu desktop should start. Suggestions of appropriate links would be appreciated.

    A USB key loaded with wiped the HP "Ubuntu" Hardy Heron and Hardy Heron 8.04 has been installed. Initially, wifi is not working, so I connected via ethernet, which worked well. Then update ~ 250 packages have been downloaded and installed. WiFi still did not work, so Admin > system > network leads to tweaking of WPA and a hexagon of 64-bit something or other. All of a sudden, the different sources of wifi (passworded and open) being found and reported by my Mini 1000 Mi now running Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Wireless is followed correctly. Mail has been sent and received. I loaded more recent Flash Player and the latest in Adobe Reader and have the tools I need and now the office... Also, the sound works by the speaker and via the combined. Overall, do these tasks took about 4 hours.

  • XP... The desktop icons will not put

    XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause. I conducted several audits of malware with paid and free programs and there is no indication of anything invading my system, it works fine other wise. Help!
