• Several problems with photoshop after upgrading to win10

  I've updated to win 10 a week ago and today I experienced several problems with photoshop. The first question is about the quick selection tool. I select and try to choose an area on the picture I want to work on. It performs either one of two things. F1. It won't select anything finally photoshop will crash. 2 when he decided to select something it goes super slow and will switch to the symbol of thought every few seconds.

  second question...

  Because I can't get select quick took the job I'll move the pen tool. I started to select anchor points and ill get maybe 20 points the image then becomes completely black. If I scroll top down I can clearly see the parts of the image, but when I stop scrolling returned to a black square. Later photoshop then crash.  TSF is to face all of a sudden?

  Make sure that your GPU drivers are perfectly up-to-date (directly from the manufacturer) and they are 10 Windows compatible. You can also try a reset preference:

  Win: Press and hold the keys Ctrl + Alt + Shift immediately after the launch of Photoshop starting. A box will appear asking if you want to continue with the reset, select 'yes '. If you don't see this, you're not fast enough... Try again.

• FSX and FSX acceleration not will not activate after the uninstallation and reinstallation of the following problems with Windows 7 upgrade

  After the upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 Windows 7, I couldn't FSX to load.  It would hang at the splash screen.  This has since been resolved and may have been a conflict between my card graphic and sound card and maybe even my webcam.  I then tried to reinstall FSX.  However, I decided to load up the Accerleration as before, but when I entered the activation code it says after trying that he could not get an answer to the server and to verify that I had an internet session active.  I did, but he always refused to activate.  So I uninstalled FSX acceleration and ran repair on FSX.  But now, he wants the activation code for FSX and when I write this so I always get the message that it cannot get a response from the server, please try again later or check that your internet connection is active.  I have the full internet connection, but doesn't understand why it won't save my activation codes.  I am limited to 30 minutes and cannot be installed acceleration as it wants the code for FSX.  I read on the forum that you can uninstall and reinstall on the same computer as many times you like then why used enable it?  It seems that he doesn't like my internet connection even though I am on the internet.  Anyone has any ideas. My pc is a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Nvidia 9400Gt card and card Soundblaster with 160 gb 1.66 ghz, 4gig ram and router Netgear WGR614 cable wireless

  Hi steve, I managed to install in the end.  I upgraded to a hard drive more that I wanted more space and copied the image to the new drive.  FSX is not yet accept the keys during the installation.  I ran the above utilities (see blog Amritas) to clear the license keys, empty temporary folders and change the registry entry by using 'regedit' on the command line, but still his wouldn't.  In the end, I installed and uninstalled three times until I finally installed it on a partition on the drive and he finally accepted the license keys.  This was done on the original admin user account that I had problems with from the start.  I have now it works.  The utility I used was KB928080 Microsoft.   I can only suggest you keep trying or partition of your hard drive and try and install on the new partition after erasing the license keys and temp folders (see above Amrita).  I can't guarantee that it works well.  To me it's a question of licenses i.e. acceleration has been uninstalled and reinstalled many times so it will no longer accept the license keys.  Happy installing! I don't know how is it frustrating.

• Satellite L500 - several problems with Windows 7

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite L500 with Vista as os. I upgraded to win 7 using the upgrade disc Toshiba that sent me. Since installing Windows 7, my laptop will freeze at any time.
  Ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything.

  My only option is to turn it off with the power button. I installed all the drivers available on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. In addition, since installing Win 7 the FN key does not work, the touchpad does not work and the eco utility will not work. I have checked all the drivers that I can find and reinstalled, or tried to update. I watched the mouse settings and the pointing device, and this explains his work.

  I think it is because I can not activate it with the FN - FN + F9 key. I cut the volume now with FN + ESC (couldn t a few days ago), I can use the FN key to sleep and lock the laptop, but the weak / brightness keys don't work. It seems that they only work up to F5.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hi joey,

  You will find all the information in the event viewer Windows on this gel?

  You should check the Device Manager for unknown devices or yellow exclamation. Maybe it's a driver of s problem.

  In regards to the FN keys, you need to install Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. They are required for the FN keys and then you are able to enable/disable the touchpad (FN + F9).

  Last but not least check Toshiba page for a version of Windows 7 Eco Utility.

  Hello Phrixy,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Answers forum! Your question is still there while inSafe Mode? If so, you try to run a SFC scan for troubleshooting the corrupted system files on your PC.

  To perform a scan of the SFC, follow the steps on the following link: How to use the tool File Checker system to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  You can also try a clean boot troubleshooting method to see if it helps you solve your problem.

• Big problem with Windows XP, IE8

  I have a big problem with windows xp. Many things do not work as they had passed him. For example the personal setting are not recalled from session to session. IE 8 does not funtion properly (icons on the desktop are re-arraged, toolbars cannot be deleted or I'm unable to load pages from the internet). Programs do not work, the files will not open. When I look at my hard C disk folders and files are hidden.

  Recently, IE has been upgraded to IE8 and I installed Norton 360 but I don't mean that they caused the problem. However, whenever the Norton scan executes a "error 8 506 421" stands up and says me that I have to uninstall and re install Norton.» But I lost the ADMIN privileges so I am not able to uninstall or go back to a restore point.

  I can't go in safe mode. Pressing F8 takes me to the quick screen C not the windows safe mode screen. I can't go in safe BOOT mode. INI or the other.

  If I switch to another user, everything seems fine but I don't have ADMIN privileges with this user to be able to make changes.

  Is this a problem with norton? IE8? A virus?

  Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Lost without a computer

  It sounds like you have a corrupted for your user to administrator user profile.

  You may be able to recover using System Restore to restore to a point in time before your problem.  Based on the F8 key, you bring in a command prompt window, try to start restoring the system to the command prompt by using the following procedure:

  "How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with prompt theCommand in Windows XP"

  <>https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449/en-us >

  If this does not work, you can still be able to recover by performing a check disk to your command prompt window operation (after that you press the F8 key).  Enter the following command:

  CHKDSK c: /R

  If you are in the Recovery Console, it can simply begin, or you may need to restart before it will start.  Corrupt profiles are most often caused by the Corruption of system files, so a chkdsk operation should be performed little matter how you end up recovery.  Note that this can take a few hours to run.

• Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

  Hello, everyone!

  Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

  For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi EvanaZgb,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

  I would say to first disable the anti virus and other security software. Then proceed as follows:

  STEP 1
  ------------
  Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer
  To install the latest Windows Installer, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  Step 2 now try to update again and post back with the results
  ------------
  Cleanup, utility to download and install the Microsoft Windows CleanUp utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

• The problem with Windows update - automatic updates service won't start not (error 126)

  original title: the problem with Windows update

  Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.

  XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3

  Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close."  Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852

  Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

  However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

  I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

  I already followed several instructions on this subject:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-windows_update/cannot-access-Windows-automatic-update-after/aeaec175-01f4-47ed-8F97-55b854af4220

  In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

  I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

  Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

  [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

  [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

  [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

  [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

  [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

  A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

  A2. Yes.

  A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

  A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

  A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

  If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.

  If you have any questions or need additional help, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

• Problems with Windows 7 reinstallation on the new hard drive

  I bought a computer a few years provided with Windows Vista. I then almost immediately installed Windows 7 on it as an upgrade. Recently, the hard drive failed and I bought a new one. I then installed the version of Windows 7. However, I have when I entered the product key, he told me that the key was invalid. What should I do now?

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
