    In the monitor of reliability to the bottom of the window, it will show the system stability report.  Look under five failure reports to find all the information about this conflict and report that information in the forum.

    You can uninstall the update-

  • Menu mobile with accordion panel will not open when you view the phone's browser

    I'm designing a sensitive site using breakpoints to 320, 768 and 1200.  I made a menu mobile with a panel of the accordion for breakpoints to 320 and 768.  Everything works fine with the reactive site on the web browser, except when I open the menu mobile on my windows phone, the Panel will not open.  When I press the menu to open it, the menu quickly opens and then closes immediately.  I was not able to understand what it takes to keep the menu open on the Tablet and phone version.  Any help would be really appreciated.

    I use window 8.1. Downloaded CC trial two weeks ago and installed Lr 5 and PS. I created the Lr catalog in one location other than that proposed by Lr 5 (a secondary drive). LR 5 and Ps worked well and I intend to buy the package of photography. Then I upgraded to Lr CC and uninstalled Lr 5. LR CC will not open. The test appears, I click on "Continue trial" he goes and Lr does not open. I tried disconnecting and DC many times, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Lr CC and even the CC app, still nothing. I tried to remove the. lrcat.lock file but could not find, so I deleted all the files from the catalog and all records (it was just a practice). There seems to be no way to get Lr CC to open.

    Hello, I recently moved from Photoshop CS6 Photoshop CC. Now, when I select a NAVE of Nikon bridge CC or the desktop file and select 'Open' it will always open with Photoshop CS6.

  • My computer will not open certain programs, and the system does not.

    I have really no idea what's wrong with my computer, so I'll just list the symptoms.

    The first and foremost problem is that my computer won't open some programs.  First thing I noticed when I tried to open iTunes and it did not open, no matter how many times I tried.  I went to restart my computer, and that opens up a host of new questions.

    My antivirus - Windows Live OneCare - software does not open.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender for malware, but it crashes when I try to do.  Not only does iTunes opens, but neither a few other programs I have on my computer--mainly those who could help me to solve this problem, such as the restoration of the system.  When I try to uninstall a program - all - nothing happens and he refuses to let me try to uninstall anything else, insisting something is already uninstall.  And my computer can't detect my printer.

    Which leads to my other problem: I have two computers connected to a network via an Ethernet cable.  The other computer is fine and can access the Internet fine, but when he sends something to the printer, nothing happens on the end of the printer.  It is a red 'X' the symbol of my network on my computer in the lower right corner (next to), so I guess this confirms my concerns about the network.  I don't understand what exactly is the problem, just that the other computer cannot print (it is not connected directly to the printer, mine is).

    Because Windows Live OneCare and Windows Defender does not work, I can not scan to see if it is the result of spyware or malware.  And because whenever I click on the system restore, nothing happens, I can't restore the computers to something else.  I'm completely stuck.  More critical functions simply do not work.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones XP Pro on computer will not open Blackberry Desktop software

    I was unable to sync my BlackberryTour with Outlook 2010. We run XP Pro as operating system on the computer in question. Different versions of Blackberry Desktop software did not help. They will open the BB Desktop Software (Version 5.0) but will not sync to Outlook 2010 or the BB software charge apparently successfully, but does not open on the computer (Version 7.1). My husband says that he tried in vain all BB Office between the two versions. Any ideas of what to try?

    Well, my problem is solved, thanks to the Blackberry phone support Saturday night. I finally gave up my own and Verizon called and they hooked me up with the support of Blackberry, and the wonderful technician found my problem.

    While they inspected the specification more carefully, I had already realized that although the original desktop provided with my tour software open on my desk, it is not compatible with Outlook 2010. So, who was never going to work for synchronization. Therefore, I uninstalled and deleted this software version (5.0, I think?) of my computer.

    Yet once I downloaded Blackberry Desktop 7.1 software, and even once, it simply does not open on my desk. (I went through the download process, installation, uninstallation and removal and resettlement at least three times). He would always give me a message "installed successfully". But when I clicked on the icon on the desktop, it would show the small icon of hourglass for a fraction of a second, and then, nothing is more product.

    When I'm on the phone with Blackberry tech representative, she was beautiful. We have implemented a 'meeting' so that she could see my computer screen with me. She had me uninstall version 7.1 again, and re-upload it and re - install it while she could be sure it was done correctly, but of course we got the same result I had been do - it would not start.

    We looked around a few things, and then she had me click 'Properties' of the Blackberry Desktop 7.1 software (I think that it's where we were) and don't you know, somehow or another a checkbox was marked for the software running in a 'Windows 95 compatibility mode. Of course that WE have checked this box, we just re downloaded and installed the software.  So we unchecked the box, then the desktop software open immediately and perfectly and I was able to sync with Outlook 2010. How strange is that?

    I had decided that the problem SHOULD be something like a framework, because I did everything properly to download and install the software, and Blackberry says that it is compatible with Outlook 2010 and XP Pro, so it MUST have worked. But I didn't know where to look for incorrect setting and do not think I know if I saw him, necessarily.

    So Bravo for the technician to support for Blackberry phones and thank you, too, for your response.

  • Installed IE 8 on my vista laptop at home and now my Palm desktop computer will not open.

    The office that came with my palm Centro has worked well for a year. I installed IE8, now when I try to open the Palm desktop, that it does not open. I can hotsync via the USB port. Windwoes said there is a problem and it cannot open, but will want to know if there is a solution. Windwoes is not to find a. I tried to go back to a previous restore point, still nothing. I don't have bluetooth on my computer so new desktop 6.2 is not an option. Help please

    Hello geocostello and thank you for posting on the forums...

    You can reinstall the office 4.2 that accompanies your centro via the CD.  (if you have one yet...)  If not, you can go the palm.com and do a search for Desktop Manager 4.2 and download it, then install it.  This should not affect your data.  Before doing so, try to go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall from there Office Manager.  Then re-install the software.  Yet once, it should not affect your data.

    If the software does not uninstall from Add/Remove Programs, you can go to microsoft and download the Microsoft uninstall utility.  This should remove the software and registry entries and allow you to re - install the Desktop manager 4.2

    Let us know what happens...

    Thank you

  • My computer will not install any software!

    When I try to install new software. the Setup program starts and says that it is installed the program, but so he's here until the message appears saying that the installer no longer. I guess something is interfering with the process, how can I know what?

    Here is a link to the Adobe support with a phone number to call for assistance to install Adobe products: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/downloads/purchases.'  Perhaps they can help you because it's their product and they know a lot more about it as we do.  They can tell you it cannot be installed on a Vista 64-bit system (make sure you mention, this is the situation at the outset).  They can also provide you with something that will do install they would know only.  It's certainly worth a try.

    Adobe also has a forum download and installation for the display of questions about these issues, but to read, it doesn't seem to be frequentled a lot and you're not likely to get an answer anywhere near as fast as you do at forums like this one--but here is if you want to try (although I wouldn't bother) : http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/downloads/purchases.  It also includes the phone number for disorder installation and instructions on how to get through and talk to a human being who may be able to help.

    I checked the centre Compativiity of Vista to see if the software is compatible with Vista, but I couldn't find the product described.  This usually means that it has not been tested.  in many cases, this means also is not compatible because it was so old that they have not even not worth a try to test it - but maybe I missed it or it goes by a different name.  Here is the site to check it out for yourself: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=Adobe%20Photoshop%202.0%20deluxe.  When I went on the WAA site, I tried a Photoshop 2.0 deluxe and found absolutely nothing about it.  What is so old?  Another problem is that you use a 64-bit system, and they have a LOT more problems with compativility software and hardware than 32-bit systems.  I suspect that the program cannot be installed on your system due to these problems.

    You can try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and see if you are able to install the product in this mode.  If you have the same problems, return the system to normal state, according to the procedures and reboot - it will not solve the problem (and this removes most of the programs and services running and interfere with the installation so that pretty much excludes this possibility).

    Try disabling your AV software and then right-click on the installation icon and click rund as administrator and see if that helps.  Don't forget to reactivate the AV software when you are done.

    Try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hitting the F8 key during startup until the menu appears) and try to install it in safe mode (if it will let you - it can not allow installation, but it's worth a try) and see if it works.

    I hope that one of these options help (assuming that it is possible to install the product with your version of Vista).

    Good luck!
