Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

Change the screen resolution

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you meant Safe Mode:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial61.html

Go to the above link > Table of constants > Vista > using the System Configuration tool: > ensures Normal startup is checked > and make sure also Safe Boot is DISABLED under the STARTUP tab.

In other words, you make their tutorial backwards.

See you soon.

    whenever I go to play, it says that it has stopped working and windows tells me when they find a solution.

    Help, please

    I really want to play this game =)

    Thank you for your reply and your answer. Your solution was inapplicable in this case for these 2 reasons. The AE2 and The Conquerors expansion have been installed, but for some reason, the EULA was absent, I finally found and agreed. I have implemented my Shaw cable ISP security. It is a very good set up and is basically silly evidence in the game. One of the peculiarities is the deep guard who monitors all programs and Web sites. All I have to do is turn off while I'm running AE2 or IT.

    I found information about Shaw Secure in one of Microsoft sites and I don't remember which.

    Find the EULA, I had to search thought for her installation files.

    Thanks again for your help, even if it did not apply in this case.

  • Storm App is running in compatibility mode

    I'm new new Blackberry.  I feel very uncomfortable with RIM JDE 4.5, so I moved the RIM JDE 4.7.

    For my first program, I just copied the SVG Pick demo code in my program.  When I build and run, it runs in compatibility mode.

    I've searched the knowledge base that says:

    1. If the application is compiled with BlackBerry® development environment (BlackBerry JDE) 4.7 Java or later version, it will not automatically run in compatibility mode. If the application is compiled with an earlier version of BlackBerry JDE, it will run in compatibility mode.

    I even checked the jar of my workspace, and it looks like 4.7.  I am at a loss.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I saw that too. In my case it was caused by the first running version 4.5 on the device. The storm decides this app is app "compatibility mode" and will not erase the attribute once it is recompiled under 4.7.

    Go to Options / Advanced / Applications and disable the compatibility mode for your application.

  • Firefox only runs in compatibility mode

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit,

    I've been running Firefox with no problems, however, today when using crashing all of a sudden and I was unable to start.

    It will display a menu with choice to run in safe mode and a few other options, but I wouldn't be able to start in safe mode, because, while displaying the options, the message "windows is trying to solve the problem" appears freezing firefox and the only way out is to leave the program.

    However, if I decide to start firefox in compatibility mode with XP sp3, I can use it without any visible problem.

    The only changes that I did is updated Java yesterday, but there were no questions just after the update.

    How would I fix this?

    Need the latest Java to run some applications (especially chess) that requires the latest version of / i /.

    I have nothing in the crash from today newspaper

    We are sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us an ID of crash report which helps us to learn more about the cause of the accident.

    1. Entered on: crashes in the Firefox address bar (this is where you enter your website name) and press ENTER. You should now see a list of submitted incident reports.

  • Programs running in Compatibility Mode (Windows 98) does not work (or more)

    For years, I have been (re-) installation file SETUP.exe (Epson status monitor of 1998) in Compatible Mode on a regular basis.  I right click on the file SETUP.exe, then I push properties-> compatibility-> Mode Compatible and complete under Windows 98/Windows Me.  Sometimes I run the file SETUP.exe in Windows 2000 mode also, never a problem.

    However, recently, I used DLLArchive and now the sweet Epson no longer works.  Resettlement does not either, as it must be installed in Compatible Mode and that no longer works.  In addition, run the file SETUP.exe in any Mode Compatible (Win95, 98, Me, NT, 2000) no longer works, even in non-compliant.

    I still get the same error:

    "To install EPSON Status Monitor 2, you have Windows95, NT3.1 or NT 4.0"

    While SETUP.exe is clearly compatible Win95/98.

    Earlier today, I couldn't use the Compatibility Assistant programs, whenever I had a "marscore.dll is missing" error when opening start-> Help and Support.  This problem is now solved: help and Support, and then the program compatibility Wizard work fine (I think).

    Any suggestions how to solve the compatibility problem?

    How can I check what DLL files are needed?

    Thanks in advance, Johan

  • Storm the conversion compatibility mode a moped with CAP

    Hello

    to make my games work on BlackBerry devices, I use CAP to convert JAR files. On touchscreen devices, I use the Canvas.pointer* events * and everything works as expected on all devices, including the storm.

    So far, my game seems to work with compatibility mode off (i.e. without the virtual keyboard) when installed using the Desktop Manager. This is exactly how I want it to be, but I was just wondering if it is the case by default because that research of this forum, I always read that, by default, an application is running in compatibility mode if compiled with any older IDE (pre 4.7).

    Anyone can confirm the behavior in order to release my game with support for the storm devices without using IDE 4.7 and create an additional project just for the BB Storm. Usually I don't use any IDEs as, over the years, I have developed a large number of tools and scripts to make a huge amount of work required in support of many different devices of J2ME and it would be great if I could continue to do without in the future.

    Thank you very much
    Michael
