    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

    Since Acrobat Reader downloaded DC I can't sign my PDF documents. It does not give me the option more and yes I am connected. On the old version, I got no problem with clicking on "signature" and draw the area where I needed my signature, put the password and "POOF" my signature would be there. With this new version, it won't do that or give me the option. The online help is useless. I need to explain to me how connect you as I used too?

    Hi nicholass35183848,

    I assumed that you had a digital signature created in your player application of old and whenever you use to fill out a pdf with a signature field signed you it. But in order to draw and then sign you must use Acrobat Pro DC no DC drive.

  • Problems with clicking links on google

    Hello

    Whenever I do a search on Google and click on a link I am redirected to a page at random.
    For example I have to slam a site on the psychology of the University and redirected to some shopping at random spam site.
    I copy the url of the link shown on Google and paste it above to access the site.

    It's very frustrating not being able to just click on the links and go directly to the site.
    I ran scans on my computer, cleaned my cookies but no result.
    What measures can be taken to solve this problem?

    This is not firefox related problem, it's a malware related question, ask your technical support antivirus on this subject, this malware is called 'Google redirected Virus '.

  • By clicking several times for switching Applications and other problems of Click

    I would like to know when it started, because then maybe I could narrow it down. I have actually some problems, but I strongly suspect that they are related. I do not think that this started immediately when I upgraded to El Capitan, but I can't say when it started.

    1. If I Mail to Safari and I click on Safari to bring it forward, nothing happens. If I click a second time, then Safari comes forward. The problem is not limited to these two requests. Maps, Finder, TextEdit and others do, but it doesn't happen in all cases. For example, if I click on a TextEdit window it before now, but if TextEdit is in front, the other application is not until the second click.

    2. If I double-click a file or application in the Finder, it tries to open the point three times. This usually results in two dialog boxes telling me that the application cannot be opened because the third opens.

    3. I have my user folder and disk in my dock to quickly navigate to a specific folder using the grid. However, when I click on an item in the grid, the icon blinks but nothing happens and the view disappears, won't let me choose something or drilling to the location I wanted.

    What I tried

    A different user account - another user account, all right. It tells me that the problem is at my user account level and not at the level of the system. It's good, almost.

    Connection with the elements of wide opening (SHIFT key is pressed) - This resulted in no change in the above problems.

    Watch the Console - I ran the Console to see if all the messages when problems occurred. Zip fastening. Zilch. Nada.

    What I think

    I am sure that this is a problem with an article by third party due to the fact that it happens to other users on the same computer, but since this is not an element of connection, so I'm stumped on how to refine the problem down to find the cause.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Okay i ' l jump to... Maybe you're more think it is a little. Have you tried another mouse or trackpad, then a reboot before going too far into other possible problems?

  • Mouse problems: double clicks, no answer on a touch,.

    HP PS2 optical mouse on my HP Pavilion a6547c desktop computer started acting erratic.  Sometimes, it works very well, but more often then not, this does not work properly.  Most of the problems occur then that on internet (Firefox) and in a forum.  When you try to move to the next page, is not always detect the click on the symbol of the page next or page number.  When you try to go back, using the arrow at the top of Firefox, it will sometimes jump back two pages.  When you try to close a window with the X in upper-right, it will occasionally close the window, I was on that and the following on-screen.

    I went into Control Panel and deleted the mouse driver.  After a reboot, I got the system and reinstall the driver for the mouse.  Still no change.

    System specs are:

    Operating system: MS Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2

    You can test your computer use another mouse? From what you describe, it seems quite possible that the mouse is just. You can pick up a decent optical mouse for $10-15 of: just about anywhere. Or maybe borrow one from a friend if you want to test and make sure that it has solved the problem before you buy.

    I realize a hardware problem of mouse does not explain why problems occur more often in Firefox/forums, but it's a good thing to rule out anyway.

  • secondary tab problem: cannot click on buttons

    Im running VI in sub-panels, and I have those in separate tabs.

    For some reason I can't click on the buttons when the secondary is placed inside the tab - VI runs correctly.

    When I place the school outside the tab, it works fine. I'm probably on a frame, which knows what to do?

    Thank you

    Maybe I should mention that the tabs are configured on the 'content' tab and the buttons are highlighted when mousing over but I can't click anything.

    OK problem solved, it was caused by sloppy programming:

    I have buttons which allow to select tab (5 of them). An event for a button click sets the visibility of the page for all the tabs off, except the one selected. And here is my fault:

    I just put all these nodes property incident, forcing them to run in no particular order. So that the tab in the right tab, it has caused for some reason do not work properly.

    With the help of the error of the son first activate the visible page (pagevis property node) that is selected. Then do the rest invisible and finally using the property node 'value of tab control' tab on the page in the order makes it work like a charm.

    ScottishWidow,

    You said: "I HAVE NO SYNAPTIC POINTING DEVICE IT has STOPPED WORKING.  If you wanted to say that your laptop's built-in mouse has stopped working, so maybe I can help you.

    That said, you can't fix it without being able to 'click '. As you have not mentioned the brand, the model of the computer, I offer the following.  Some laptops have a characteristic that "locks" the synaptic pad. It is normally used to prevent the pad from interfering with typing.  You need to look in the manual or ask by mentioning the brand, the model of the computer.

    If it is not "locked."

    (1) buy or borrow a USB mouse. Plug it into the USB port of your laptop.

    (2) Vista will automatically detect the mouse and install the necessary driver. Now you have a real mouse.

    (3) with this, you can fix your problem. It could be as simple as going into Device Manager and all items with attachment indicator.

    A "synaptic pointing device" means integrated laptop mouse.  This means that she cannot mouse click on anything, as an applicant, click on send, open a program.

  • Problems with click options on the pinned taskbar programs

    Hi all

    Today, I met a strange problem with my taskbar of Windows 8. If I try to right click on one of my pinned programs in the taskbar, then select one of the options (for example right click on FireFox and select open a new private window), my laptop stops briefly and background become purple. After a few seconds the bottom will return to normal, and I'll be able to click again on programs. A left click on programs still allows me to access it. Anyone had experience with this issue? Thank you.

    Thank you! [The problem seemed to be with a recent update because the system restore fixed everything, but if it happens again, I'll be sure to try this first:]

  • Problem right-clicking in E10

    Question: How can I activate the context menu of the E10 to exceed the context menu of the browser?

    I use E10 on a version restored Firefox (3.6.20), and whenever I right click on an element in any open menu, the context menu of browser (back, charging forward, stop, bookmark this page) goes on the context menu of the E10. How can I get the E10 menu to go on it, so I can read it?

    So far, the only solution I have used is to click and HOLD, but this is not optimal. In addition, it is time repetitive stress injuries.

    Any suggestions?

    I solved the problem by updating the version of Firefox to the latest version.  Well.

  • problem - by clicking on the button loses the new line or resets the iterator

    Hello

    I use JDev 11.1.1.6. I created a page that is preceded in the taskflow by a method in the AppModule that creates a line on the iterator and inserts it. I have a button 'Next' in the page, which is supposed to make changes to attribute readonly on the input fields, and display a confirmation button.

    The problem: when I click on 'next', the empty fields that have been entered by the user on the page, is part of the first record in the iterator. It is as if, when the button "Next" has been clicked, the iterator has been somewhat refreshed and moved to the first original line, and entered values have been thrown in there... While my 'new' record is lost. Result: I lose my new record line, and entered values replace the values in the first previous row in the iterator.

    The code used to create the line before the page is loaded:

    Sender ViewObjectImpl = getSubmittersView3_1();

    Submitter.Reset ();

    ViewRowImpl submitterRow = submitter.createRow () (ViewRowImpl);

    submitter.insertRow (submitterRow);

    When the page is loaded initially, I printed the primary key on the line and a - 4 (which is good, it means new line)

    But when I print the primary key in the action of the button 'Next', 59, who has been the pharmacokinetics of the first original line I.

    The code that is used to print the primary key:

    seqNum int = Integer.parseInt (this.getAppModule () .getSubmittersView3_1 () .getCurrentRow () .getAttribute (0) m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());

    Then print seqNum.

    Please help.

    Found the problem.

    I had a button print at the bottom, which was my button "Cancel". In this paper, I got the code to remove additional items (i.e. unwanted ranks - since it is a Cancel button). And what was going on was that while rendering on the page, the code of the EEG for the go button was running and the removal of my new line! If the culprit here was go get code button is iterated in the rendering phase... something I didn't expect or know so far. Remove this code and change a command button solves the problem.

  • Problem with Click listener on the Sprite instances

    Hi all

    I am a beginner in Flash and ActionScript 3.0 platform. I don't know how and where post such queries/problems. So far, here, I posted a simple questions only. I feel that the complex problem I ever worked until now.

    Come to my request, I am dynamically load an image on stage. When I click on the loaded image, I'm drawing of a circle/rectangle [which is of type Sprite] pixel-exact location on the image and doing these circles/rectangles (Sprite_objects) visible itself. In this way, I would add as many Sprites_objects, until I keep clicking on the same image present on the stage.

    My application code (which displays the colorful red rectangles when you click on the image) is as follows:

    / * If you copy the code into your actionsPanel directly, then make sure "image1.jpg" file * is present next to the .fla file. Since he gets support iff it is present in the same directory. * / var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var temp_x:int, temp_y:int; A dynamic image loading and adding listeners... var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("image1.jpg"); var loader: Loader = new Loader(); Loader.Load (urlReq); myContainer.addChild (loader); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded); addChild (myContainer); function imgLoaded(event:Event):void {(loader.x = 50; / /(stage.stageWidth-pictLdr.width) / 2;}      Loader.y = 50; (/ /(stage.stageHeight-pictLdr.height) / 2; } //Adding red rectangle (type Sprite) in a container. var redBoxContainer:Sprite = new Sprite(); addChild (redBoxContainer);    Event listener when clicking on the image myContainer.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, setNewPosition); function setNewPosition (event: MouseEvent): void {temp_x = event.localX;      temp_y = Event.localY;           trace ("children of the redboxcontainer =" + redBoxContainer.numChildren);     var redRect:Sprite = new Sprite();     redRect.graphics.beginFill (0xff0000);     redRect.graphics.drawRect (event.localX, event.localY + 47, 7, 7 + 47);     redBoxContainer.addChild (redRect);        trace ("redRect.visible:" + redRect.visible);            redRect.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onRedContainer);      function onRedContainer(e:MouseEvent):void {trace ("event listener for red container");      } }

    I think that you feel the code is simple. I'm at that level about Flash development [i.e., newbie].

    Now my requirement is as follows:

    If I click on these created Sprites_objects on the image, then the clicked in last/latestly Sprites_object must be read/represented by highlighted [i.e., it is visible must be made of different like adding border of Sprites_object (or) by changing the size of clicked Sprites_object etc.,] among the other existing circles/rectangles on the image. So, at once, only one Sprite_object need to be highlighted.

    For example, if I placed 10 circles/rectangles on the loaded image by successively clicking 10 times on different parts of the same image. Assume that, first of all, I click on 5th Sprite_object, then it should get highlighted. Then after that, if I click again on the 2nd Sprite_object, now, 5th Sprite_object (previously clicked) must be off highlighted and 2nd must get highlighted. In this way, it must continue.

    I think you understood my requirement with the example above. If you have any doubts, I am always ready to explain. I ask you people to spend feww minutes of your valuable time to fill the solution in response to my post.

    Thanks in advance...

    I'm waiting for your answers...
