My office is suddenly white and all the icons disappeared.  How can I return it to how it was?

No guarantees. Some suggetions. Please try the order that they appear. Check the office after each suggestion.

1. run a full scan to make sure that the machine is clean.

2. the word 'suddenly' suggests this is a recent problem.
Please do a system restore. Choose a date on which the Office was normal as your restore point.

3. restore explorer.exe
Press CTRL + Alt + keys Delelete > click Task Manager > at the top, click Procesess tab, right-click on explorer.exe > click on end process > click Applications tab > click New task... > in the Open box, type explorer.exe > Ok

4 do a file system check to find corrupt files. He will try to fix it if it is found.

5 do a disc check to search for defective and other sectors. He will try to fix it if it is found.

Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look at the top left, right-click on cmd.exe > click on Run As Administrator > press the Enter key.
Now, you will see a black and white screen. It's your cmd window.
At the flashing prompt type this... chkdsk/f/r
It is preferable that you copy and paste that above the line of command to avoid the misspelling. There is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.

Press the Enter key.
The window will say something like... (I'm paraphrasing)... he can't do it now, but it will restart. You want to do, o/n.
Type 'y' as in Yes > press ENTER.

Output of cmd window.
Restart your computer > system will start the disk check.
It will take a while... a long time. Sit back and wait. Do not turn it off.
The system will restart when the disk check is complete.

  • Messages received during the date change, now stuck with them

    Hello, this is a stupid thing.

    I changed my date in the coming months with impatience and received messages from a friend. Now, I have these blocked as the latest messages and after I change the date back to normal, that I have to scroll up to actually see these last posts. How can I fix it without deleting the history? It is a little messed up and to wait for a period of two months to make them disappear is a big hassle, because now it is very inappropriate to use.

    The only alternative is to try to delete misplaced messages or correct their NICU SQLite editor timestamp.

    Have you stopped to iexplore.exe or explorer.exe? Sounds to me as if it was the last of the two.

    Start the Task Manager (right-click on the taskbar and select "Start Task Manager", and then click file--> new task (run...), type explorer.exe in the box press OK.)

    A reboot must also take care of it. :-)

  • When I click on mail from the OL, it now opens with a message window?

    My outlook mail is a mess. My mail files and local files separate all the time. My local folders will list separately on the left of the page with a background color kahki? Page mail slides, has never done this before? When I opened the mail, it opens to a page of message send/REC/WAV? It allows to open the lower pane only when you click on? Also, I tried offline compaction, it stops in the Middle, and whatever the folder is currently compacted disappears. I have does three times with no result... no go to compact again, I'm going to lose my files. It's a mess, even though I keep getting mail?

  • Fixed the pc and now problems with the operating system.

    So a few weeks ago I had replaced my motherboard fried and all the rest. Windows claimed to resurrect my computer, my copy of Windows 7 is not legitimate and does not accept my product key. Any advice on how to fix this?

    If your license of Windows 7 comes with the previous motherboard, it is not transferable to a new motherboard.

    If it is a license upgrade of retail that you bought in a store, the motherboard, you take a match it must have a previous qualification licence.

  • Why are the toggle javascript addons failed to install on FF17 for android, but OK for the Office of FF17?

    I tried different mobile versions nojs, noscript & quickjs addons so I can have a button for the toggle make it easy as on the desktop. Install it fails stating that they are not compatible with FF17. so why the versions of office work with the Office of FF17?

    The error is legitimate? I have the Android 4.2 jellybean in the iconic A700 of Acer which is just an A500 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

    Yes Firefox Android is for mobile devices from phones or tablets. The mobile named link was a legacy link for when the mobile Firefox was at version 10.0. * and earlier than these versions were the old version of 'XUL' of Firefox Mobile. Mobile starting with Firefox 14.0 and newer (the 11.0, 12.0, 13.0 were beta versions) the UI is now built with the infrastructure of Android user interface rather than the cross-platform XUL framework so the extensions need to be updated.

    mbrubeck filed some bugs to replace the mobile link with the android link in other Applications menu after that I talked to him as he has been neglected. To read the Bug #824314 and Bug #825048

    Android (2.2 +) is currently the only mobile what OS Mozilla offers Firefox at the time anyway.

  • Search DR. for line of dashboard, dynamic table to retrieve the offices assigned table

    Hello


    I don't have information on the role of the user when running in the session variable.
    Not in the database.


    Now, to get office that manages a Manager I need to get the role, i.e. "areamanager".
    and the username "mike01" to recover the offices "mike01" manages (sql with two parameters?).

    It is possible that a local 'bob12' Office Manager uses the same table edge OBIEE but for him
    the role is 'localmanager' and he would see only the office works in, not all the other offices "mike01" also manages.


    If I had roles in an array of DB Oracle, it would be easy. I'd create just a view of the mapping.
    The problem is, I do not have this information in the DB, but I need
    to prefilter the dash prompt, so the "localmanager" can't select
    all offices but only his own. "mike01" on the other hand, all its functions.

    Now, how do I do that? I thought about the new .rpd 11g function lookup table to pass session variables to
    a SQL function or procedure. Which seems doable?

    Hi metalray,

    Not sure about the transmission session variables return from a procedure...

    But a simple way to do this is to have several guests, one for each role.  Filter them according to your requirements, place them on the dashboard and conditionally hide them based on the role of the user so that only the appropriate message appears.

  • Desktop shows only a quarter of the background, three quarters white

    All applications display normally but the screen area is white ¾. Shortcut icons are normally even in the white area. I tried to change the display properties and the color depth, but nothing gets rid of this huge white area. Any ideas?

    It's very strange question. And everything works normally? I mean the BIOS, start Windows, different applications?
    When you choose a picture as a background, I guess you see only a part of it, right?
    Since when did you notice this?

    Thank you!

    Have you tried to click on the icons to download on the App Store? You have launched one of the applications that are already on the iPad?
