My Windows Update does not work. When I try to access it, a box flashes on my screen, but I can't access it. I tried to use Windows Update via on line, and the same thing happens. Help!

Too bad.  I managed to do the work.  I will now reboot and see if it solved the problem.

OK, I restarted.  Always impossible to get Windows Update to happen on the screen.

    Hi LGStrike,

    Restore your computer to a point before the updates being installed with the System Restore.  Then proceed as follows:

    1. go in Control Panel , and then select Windows Update.

    2. click on check for updates.

    3. once the results come back, click on the link that shows Important updates and deselect all the updates except the first 3 or almost and install the updates.

    4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you receive the error message.

  • Back button does not work when I try to enter a web address. I tried to reboot in safe mode without success. I also tried not refreshing, no chance. Any ideas?

    I tried refreshing. I tried to start in safe mode. Still not working when I try to type a URL.

    Maybe that is, although I don't think I have seen it reported on before Mac:

    Due to the change how Firefox 39 associate keywords to bookmarks and history, the address bar is newly sensitive to corruption in the database that stores your history and bookmarks (the places.sqlite file).

    The developers are working on a solution, but that could take weeks to reach you.

    At this point, the best solution is to delete/rename the places.sqlite file, but then you lose all your history, if this really isn't very attractive to people who rely on history to revisit the sites.

    In case you want to try this - in case you do not receive the best suggestions - here's how:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information

    In the first table of the page, click on the 'show in Finder' (Windows: "Show the file") button. This should launch a new window that lists your folders and files of different parameters.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and Quit/exit, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) Firefox > Quit (Windows: File > Exit)

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename places.sqlite to something like oldplaces.sqlite. (I'm not suggesting delete this file, just in case you find yourself in need again).

    Firefox creates temporary files related to places.sqlite and those should be renamed / remove as well. Check places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal and if you find them, rename them as well.

    When you start Firefox back up again, he should start a new database places.sqlite and import your last backup automatic bookmark. Can you confirm that all your bookmarks are present? The address bar works normally again?

  • My Apple password does not work when I try to download the Flash Player

    I tried again and again download Flash Player on my Mac OS 10.9.5 and when I try to open the installation program, asked me my password and it does not work. However, I used the password to enter this community, and it worked. I use Chrome as my browser. Any help to achieve this will be highly appreciated.

    Hello Gail Rooney,

    I'm not 100% sure if you are referring to your account admin on your Mac, if you were not made me know that I would love to help with anything that anyone else. Anyway, if you need to reset your password for your admin account, so you can leave Flash Player just install, follow these steps and you should be able to reset the password of the admin account. You need to restart your computer. Then, press the command and R keys at the same time when the gray screen appears and hold them until you see the Apple logo. A low loading bar will appear under the logo. Then wait for the recovery mode to load click the utilities tab in the menu bar, select Terminal, type resetpassword, and press ENTER. Close the Terminal window and behind it, you will find the password reset utility. Everything you have to do now is to select the user account you want to reset, enter a new password or leave the field empty and click Save. Then reboot again and sign in to your account admin with the password you just put.

    The solution is to try to insert and remove the plug a dozen times or more in the hopes of convincing making fall out of optical mode and in electric mode.

  • good sign in info does not work when you try to install the updates

    My sign in the name of user and password works fine when signing CC.

    Occasionally, I get a window telling me of updates are available.  When I try to connect for updates (using the aforementioned username and password) they are rejected, which makes impossible updates.

    Adobe's Web sites have always been a little weird according to my experience, but this is nuts.

    Help!

    Could you please try with the username administrator on the computer and the password.

  • ProBook 450 G2: password does not work when you try to open a session.

    I've been connecting to my laptop with the same password for several months now and then a few days ago, I tried and it wouldn't let me, it came up with an error message saying offline.

    The password was absolutely correct and checked caps lock shift was not on.

    Via the internet on the phone, connected to the microsoft site (with the usual password) account and it let me in.  From there amended past just in case.

    New password I tried and it does not always help.

    Having read several support elements and that you have tried various things but none have worked so far.

    They say to press the windows key, and then R to get the settings but that is impossible unless connected, which can not do.

    Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • InDesign CS6 does not work when you try to change my 10pg doc. Why? Solutions?

    My InDesign CS6 cannot work almost at all when I try to change this 10 page document.  It has great graphics, but still, what do I do?  Do you think that the file is corrupted? My InDesign works well with all other documents.  I've seen this before with a few documents pg 4 which have a lot of pictures.  Should I do the books rather than documents? I've never used the book before setting.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    She pasted art or graphics incorporated? It is a performance killer. Working from a network or removable drive location can be a problem as well.

    You can try to do a save as to eliminate the former change of information, or export to .idml to remove minor corruption. See remove minor corruption by exporting
