Hello

It seems that your office has been changed to the classic theme.

What just happened when you started the computer? You have a selected Aero theme before this happened?

First, right-click on the desktop and select Personalize. Try to select one of the Aero themes to see if this solves the problem.

If this does not work, try to run the Aero troubleshooter.

Run the Aero convenience store.

Open Control Panel and type Troubleshooting in the Search box.

Select Search and solve problems.

Under appearance and personalization, select display Aero desktop effects.

In the Troubleshooting Utility dialog box, click the Advanced Options link and place a check mark in the apply repairs automatically option.

Click Next to start the troubleshooter.

Let us know the results.

Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Copy option is grayed when right clicked on the application or database...

    Hi all

    I'm working on 11.1.2 version of Hyperion in a distributed environment. From the Console, I'm trying to copy an application (including databases) and stick with a different name in order to make changes to the copied one. As the copy option is grayed out when I right click on the name of the application, I was unable to do the same thing. So, I tried to copy only a database in the same application, but copy option is grayed out here also...

    Also, I checked for other applications to check if the copy option is grayed out or not, and for some it is and is not for others.

    Are you sure that apps are not applications planning, perhaps those that you can copy is pure Essbase applications and those that you don't plan applications.

    See you soon

  • I get a gray box when I try to open a picture in PS5

    It doesn't matter what method I use to open a photo in PS5, all I get is a gray box where the photo should be.  It's a PC brand new with all the requirements.  What should I do?

    Good news and please report to us.

    As you discovered, if you install a disk in the box, or the line technology to Dell, HP, etc., because of their record, the pilots are probably 6 mos.out to date. Same thing, if they relied on the windows telling them, if they have the latest version of the driver, or some use to do - is going to be obsolete way. We recommend that you always go to the mfgr. Web site and manually checking the drivers later.

    There are not that many generations PS did not rely so heavily on the video driver - a former would probably very well run. Then with OpenGL and 3D and PS - extended video, the program must interface much more closely - just like Adobe Premiere. Now, a simple update of the OS, or hot - fix, could make an out-of-date driver. More dependent on the interface of the driver increases, there will be more and more important to keep the updated video driver. Once, only extreme gamers of the day need to worry much, but that changes everything.

    Good luck and happy editing.

  • All the editing options appear disabled when you compose the message, impossible to copy & paste, etc they are grayed out in the menu and do not work in a mouse right click

    Change options - Undo, redo, copy, paste, paste without formatting work, is that they are shaded out in the Edit menu and do not work on the right click of the mouse. I disabled add ons, run in safe mode, go out and restarted but the problem persists. Can anyone help urgent please.

    Mine are greyed out until they can do something. So they're all gray until I have started typing, pasting is grayed if there is nothing on the Clipboard and copy / cut are gray until I have select something.

    Yours are always grey, even after doing these other things?

  • Google Image Search shows only one page of results, then the gray boxes

    Since several months ago, google search for images watch gray boxes instead of the thumbnails after a random number of thumbnails correctly indicated.

    I've seen several posts on the web and several suggestions, but none solved the problem for me (FF 20.0.1, Windows Vista and Windows 7).

    Finally, I tracked down the source of the problem and found a workaround:

    Looking at the traffic on my firewall (iptables nat) I found this during the loading of an image search result:
    192.168.168.159 - > 74.125.234.226 TLSv1 alert (level: Fatal, Description: unexpected Message)

    So, I realized that since there is a time firefox uses https whenever we use google.

    The solution is after loading the image (with the gray boxes) search result, just replace the https to http protocol in the browser's address bar. Which loads the remaining without problem images when you scroll to the bottom of the page.

    IE does not have the problem because it does not have this redirect. If you load a 'good' search results in Internet Explorer, then replace http with https in the address bar, the same problem occurs in Internet Explorer.

    (so, apologize for posting this here, because it's not really a matter of "firefox", but given that most people are complaining that it is, I though it would be a good place for the available information)

    Thanks, but as I said, that is done the same if forced to https. I can boot to linux, and FF is the same, like chrome.

    So it's not anything related to the cache, cookies, or plugins or even FF FF. It's probably something in the firewall. I just posted it here because other people have been blaming FF for this problem (it is more likely to be seen in FF, because it was google redirect to https for 14.0.1).

  • MASTERED OPTION IS GRAYED OUT WHEN YOU TRY TO BURN A HOME PC PREM BRAND NEW VIRGIN DVD + R ON VISTA 32-BIT

    Due to virus I had to rebuild PC using the RECOVERY partition on hard drive. All windows updates have been applied to date (August 2011). Before the virus problem (July 2011) WAS able TO SELECT THE "MASTERED" OPTION WHEN YOU are GOING to USE WINDOWS TO BURN a VIRGIN DVD + r. NEW once AGAIN, this WORKED BEFORE, NOW THE MASTER OPTION IS GRAYED OUT.  I have a brand new DVD + R blank and tried several of them thinking it was the disk (I've used this same brand (magnavox) DVD + R 4 years now never this problem of the "controlled" option is grayed out.) I use the same DVD burner which came with the PC and it allowed me to select the option "Mastered" last month (July 2011). I am using Windows HomePrem 32-bit OS (originial system that came with PC and this allowed me to select the mastered option last month. I applied all the updates Win at present. I have no other problems with the PC. Once again, driving the nail: this WORKED BEFORE, last month on the exact same hardware and the software/OS (Juillet2011), then why this option appears GRAYED out now?  This question has been asked before and 'experts' simply stressed totally USELESS MS pages showing how to select either under control or direct - I DO NOT NEED THIS HELP as I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO SELECT either option and what each is for. Also the other 'fixed' DOES NOT APPLY to this situation. (Do NOT send me to the following links because they DO NOT ANSWER to THE QUESTION: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/burn-a-disk-mastered-is-unavailable-grayed-out/9eb41f09-1778-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5?page=1&tm=1312314316719#footer or http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-sound/mastered-format-option-grayed-out/aee1469f-1095-436c-9f12-acce80c2bb99.) These 2 links DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION, so answer the question, do not send us in circles, always looking for the answer.  How SIMPLY THE QUESTION IS: Fix us the radio button for 'Mastered' so that it is NO LONGER GRAYED OUT when you insert a brand new, clean the DVD + R in my DVD burner (same that I had for years, which worked before) on my Vista 32 bit OS HomePRem? I have a host of (222 blank GB) of disk space and a lot of RAM (4 GB) and again I WAS able TO select the "mastered"option before my restoration." Help!

  • Black square in the upper right corner of the monitor

    Windows works ok, very slow next day, I tried to planned it. A black screen appears in the upper right of the minitor. I can't remove it (looks like he wants to view webcam or continuous) but it shows nothing, blocks from the screen and I don't know what I've insisted on it to appear and cannot be removed, someone at - it ideas please

    Hello

    ·        The black square appears every time that you restart the computer?

    ·        This occurs in safe mode?

    Method 1:

    Start in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    a. restart and keep tapping F8 until you reach the start option.

    b. Select safe mode from the list and check if the problem still persists.

    After safe mode, I suggest you perform a clean boot. Follow method 2.

    Method 2:

    Maybe the General information that runs on the system causes this problem. I suggest you do a clean boot and see if the problem is resolved.

    a. log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

    b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    c. under the general tab, click Selective startup and then click to clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    d. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    a. When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    c. under the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    d. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the problem is solved, check which third-party program is causing the problem. For more information, see the article mentioned below.
