Screen flickered out of control. I stopped him, it's OK on the restart, but now what?
Is this a HD failure? (I've replaced twice over the years). It presents the motherboard? Somethings obviously lacking. Apart from the backup, what can I do?
Perhaps unrelated: I wonder constantly updating my browsers (doesn't matter which). I am running 10.6.8 I need probably put first before update of Safari, Chrome, Firefox...

Hardware can have a fault that could be the cause of the shimmering screen.
So maybe it's something to watch. There may be utility Console logs of
the exact time of day (hours, minutes, seconds) with details about this situation.
You can try to reset the computer by using the SMC reset instructions; the part of what
can help is to be able to reset... In addition, a different reset NVRAM can have another effect
and they cause no harm. This could be seen as part of troubleshooting, as it
does not offer a cure for failing to display components or other material exhaust.

Given the age of the computer, there may be a UPS or any other room display could be

occur when moving the display (open/close), there is a circuit of the logic board to display
which may be replaced by a new cable or other part. And if the computer is still using
the original hard disk drive which at is a moving part (rotation with pens) & could be replaced.

A computer repair may involve the display inverter or other components, best contact
a service provider authorized Apple working on older models of MacBook vintage and that
can get the parts. The Apple Store is not going to fix the vintage computers, options exist.
Or you could read up on some of the problems most currents & answers to see if your skills can
be sufficient attempt a DIY repair. (Or use the guide to see what it can lead to repair?)
Although an Apple Store Genius appointment can be useful if they could test or review the unit
unless he has a strange behavior during a visit, they may not be able to offer suggestions; generally
a manager of the Apple Store Genius visit has little or no cost for advice. Former computer problems are
usually outside their current Applecare, parts and warranty flow. And with some models,
product knowledge is better an authorized Apple specialist or a well-known service location.
They would be more likely to have sources of parts and knowledge on how to fix older models.

There are online repair guides, such as those of the iFixit.com site for Mac repairs and do this
give you a good look inside the computer & parts appear as well as takeapart sequences.
Sources for parts and service are companies that accept laptops during the expedition
to their repair facilities; These can vary and are across the country. (Or several countries).
Two I read on the United States, are not exclusive, but serve as examples: wegenermedia.com
and powerbookmedic.com - I sent an Apple laptop to Alaska wegenermedia
based on the good reputation of a few years. they did a pretty good job when I am the
portable back (he was in very good condition, with original and software box) I finally sold to a
type more aged 30 miles away who had never owned a computer before. He's 85 years old & used 5 years.
I have provided two years of support (like a neighbor in a small, sparsely populated area) & helped him learn.
And did not offer to have helped him understand the internet, wireless, printing and so on.
If the computer you may be worth the cost to check it out to the course, or you might get another almost
like that, already repaired for what companies can charge to the difficulty that one. I have a MacBook
(MB1.1 1.83 GHz 13 inches) with 2 GB of RAM, disk HARD 160 GB, OS X 10.5.8; and it flickers sometimes.
The unit still works better if open and set up as a desktop with USB keyboard & mouse so unit
the screen does not move much. So that much less flickers in this situation. You mileage may vary.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why you are posting in the forum, IE? Maybe the reason why you try to use the CP is to enter Internet Options? If so, you can do it without the help of Windows Explorer (at least on your operating system) starting (using the Task Manager if necessary): control.exe inetcpl.cpl
Otherwise what your problem probably means is that you have added something new to the root of the control panel which is not compatible with your OS, causing thus the Windows Explorer (not IE) crashing. In this case, the same way you could get in Add Remove programs without involving Windows Explorer by starting: control.exe appwiz.cpl
You can get help more informed by post on a forum that specializes in performance and Maintenance of your operating system.
Good luck

I use Windows 7 and everthing works apparently fine. However, I can't see my account of user (users\John) in Windows Explorer. I see the default administrator. Accounts and account "TempAdmin" I just did. I search/modify 'John' in the control panel. I can see ' C:\Users\John > ' from the command prompt and the view (dir\) directories, but it is not there in Windows Explorer. What gives?

May not, your settings in Windows Explorer is configured to be able to see (display hidden and system files/directories).

My Lightroom 6 suddenly stopped being able to read all the files for import, what hurts?
I was getting well with LR6 but it suddenly stopped being able to read files for import of SD cards - I got the message "unable to read file-. "JPG (1).
I tried several formats CR2, JPG etc but they were all unreadable, I also tried the files that had previously been imported successfully and it was not no more readable.
I use the standalone version downloaded on Amazon and a current Mac with Yosemite.
It is often the destination folder that gets changed, so if you check the permissions on the folder where you copied pictures to in the past, perhaps is no longer where Lightroom is trying to copy the pictures in.
In any case, it's always a permissions issue, and if you need further assistance, we would need to see screenshots of the section of the Destination and the permissions on this folder.
