Do not have access to Safe Mode if you ignore the system restore and click on the button on the Start Menu? Your initial problems are repeated in this case?
If you can access Safe Mode things, see if it will help you create another user, and it will allow to test this new user in Normal Mode of loading.
Also, if you can in Mode safe, download and run this program in mode safe mode and let it scan your computer for malware.

Try this mode safe too. Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking. Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive. If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.
If Safe Mode is not an option for you, see if you can access options of startup repair (be it to start any Windows Vista DVD or the Safe Mode screen options).

I was not able to open my my Adobe Illustrator application after update. He says there are a few problems with the preference but after following the instructions, Illustrator still does not work and it keeps giving the samei question. Help, please.
I think you are talking after upgrade to CC 2015 you're not able to launch I. Also, I believe you speak for read only matter of preference.
After following the instructions please do not launch Illustrator and check your file preference if the permissions have been set correctly. A good way would be to get inside the preferences folder and then try to create a file manually. If it succeeds, please write to [email protected]
A few external links to help you set permissions:

How can I activate an older version of Photoshop that I have loaded on my new tablet? Web activation does not work, and when I call the number, it is said that it is not longer used. Meanwhile, I'm 13 days until it stops working due to not be enabled. Help? I really need to continue to use this product for my home business. It works very well not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 days more if I don't get activated, and none of the activation methods that they list seem to work.
You can download CS2 if you have a valid license for CS or CS2.
And you have to follow the instructions and use the download again AND the new serial number.

"back" button does not work and the home page does not display on startup
My buttons next and previous no longer work. They show just gray and I cannot click on them.
Also my home page does not appear when I launch firefox.
I reinstalled firefox 4 and then I went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
Don't know what to do anymore
I just found out that when I opened a second window everything works well in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
The same thing happens when I close both windows. The first window of my home page does not appear and the back button does not work, but the second window is operating normally. Including my home page.Try:
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

"Back" button does not work and lost bookmarks
I followed the instructions that Firefox has been extremely slow. He said my favorites would be saved and everything should work as usual. However, I lost all my precious Favorites, and now the back button does not work. She is pale grey all the time, and itls drives me crazy, that I can't go back to the search page. I have to type everything in full again.
If I can't change it, I'll have to switch to another web browser, after being with Firefox for more years than I care to remember.
I liked using Firefox and have recommended it to all my family and friends.
I'm very angry on my favorites, because I used these regularly and had a few coordinates links and important model for my sewing and knitting, as well as time-saving links. Now, I'm completely lost without them.
If this isn't the page said it would be saved, then I would not have changed anything.
It's very frustrating and annoying, after spending months, where I wanted and now he lost get it all because of the wrong information. I am very anxious.
LesleyYou can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

My 8 Firefox Menu button does not work and neither does the right click in the window of firefox
It seems that all drop-down buttons in the browser, including the bookmarks dropdown in the toolbar and the main menu button (firefox), no longer work. This happened after that I upgraded to firefox 8. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times all also the removal of the preferences user and all that but that does not work. But everything seems to work properly in safe mode. So I disabled all my addons in the normal mode, but cela still does not resolve the problem. My right click does not anywhere in the browser window either. And also, although the menus are not displayed, it seems that they are still there because if I click in the area that a the function button active, that's how I was able to disable addons.
Safe mode disables extensions in Firefox 4 and later versions, and disables hardware acceleration.
- Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.
If disable hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Display does not decrease or turn off after the time specified in the power settings.
Hello
I have HP Pavilion dv6-2140's. It is 1.5 years old. For a few days, my computer doesnot dim laptop screen or stops itself when not in use. I did the settings or power options. tried both recommended hp and energy saving. waited for several minutes, but neither the screen became decrease or stop. It was plugged and I slept something, but I knew he would go to standby mode after 15 minutes, but when I woke in the morning, he was still on with its full brightness for nearly 6 hours! That's what really shocked me, and then I checked for everything on google, but couldn't find anything. So please help me. Why is it so. I didn't install anything, nothing updated.
Thank you
Please update the latest version of the BIOS for your laptop and also check if your laptop screen is turned off when the unit works only with the battery.
Go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings and configure the parameters of the battery and check if the display turns off. In case it does, you can try then configure the parameters of the plan when the unit is plugged. -

Search function does not work in a document, all the ideas of solution?
Nice day
I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015 Release Version 2015.008.20082 l. Within the program I asked for updates, and he says that it is current.
The "Search/search" function does not work even when I clearly see the word I'm looking. Any ideas?
Thank you
Meredith
Hi Meredith,
Please confirm if you are using Acrobat or Reader?
Search function will not work if it is a pdf document scanned in image format, you must apply OCR on this file by using Acrobat to be able to search for text in the document.

Why my internet connection dies? I use a VPN to my internet at home. I put the DNS numbers supplied by the company VPN in my airPort extreme, which, in turn, provides wireless for home. It worked perfectly until I updated to firmware 7.7.7. Suddenly the green light next to the 'internet' in airport Utility icon went Brown, and it is therefore most all internet. I put numbers in DNS to my ISP, and internet provider is displayed again. All the other numbers in DNS, whether it's Google, OpenDNS or VPN to stop the dead from the internet. Anyone has an idea about this?
Airport base stations, are at best, a VPN-well past that device. It is a server or a VPN client. Upgrade to the latest firmware does not change this fact.
To create a VPN tunnel using the AirPort Express Terminal, your computer must be running a VPN client that connects to a VPN server somewhere on the Internet. What DNS servers you use should make no difference with VPN.
If the ISP-supplied DNS servers do not work, I would say that you contact your ISP to find out why they don't allow you to use them.
What we need to study is more why you lose Internet connectivity when changing the DNS servers of your ISP. Please check with them and to report back, then we can try to help.
