Try changing the settings of Vista firewall, but the configuration of the firewall Panel does not respond.

I'm trying to access the port through the Windows Vista firewall.  When I open the firewall Panel and try to change the settings. The hourglass disappears and will not show the screen for changes.  So you can not close the firewall Panel.  Only way to get rid of it is to use the Task Manager and end task.  Any ideas?

Hi wolfpackertom,

Present on the computer some third party software may hinder the process.

  • Controls on the front panel does not work

    In the attached vi (I've stripped down to simplify things), I have a problem with the controls on the front panel does not when you click on the control to acquire it. It of probably something obvious but got me to loss.

    Thank you

    It is probably because you are in the State to acquire until you're done absorbing.  Meanwhile, none of your other events can run.  You have events to acquire: let the mouse.  There is a setting for "Panel before locking up the end of the occurrence of the event.  Given that the event cannot process until your State acquisition is completed, the façade will be locked.

    I would recommend another loop for the acquisition of your data.

  • Panel close? Event causes the front panel for not responding

    I am trying to create a simple program. Some time ago loop that generates random numbers, just so that I can see it is running. An "Exit" button is connected to an output of the while loop Terminal. The event structure is also in this loop, which intercepts "Close panel?" and don't know, then said of faithful son in the while loop output terminal. To be more precise, the output terminal takes an OR statement that takes the button leave and this Structure of Boolean event as inputs. When I run the program, the release button does not respond, however, with the highlight the part of structure of the program event execution seems to work. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining, any help is appreciated.

    I guess my real question is, how do correctly implement you that a button exit stops the loop and clicking on the red x or File: Close is ignored and rather does the same thing as your Exit button.

    The problem is that you don't have a case of timeout in the structure of your event, so he's sitting there, waiting for any registered event (in your case, the only recorded event is the closing of Panel event).  He reads your button to quit once, you should see if you run with execution highlighting.  The while loop can not continue until all that it ends and the structure of the event may not finish until an event occurs.

    A better solution than adding a timeout event is to add an event to change the value of the button exit.  Put the Quit terminal inside the case of the event and the wire which, in the same tunnel connected to stop the while loop.  If you do this there not need timer loop as the structure of the event will be sitting there waiting until the Quit button or Panel is closed.  However, if you want to add more code inside the while loop that will run continuously, then you will need a time-out event (that can take the place of waiting since the timeout will regulate the timing of the loop).

  • my Mozilla Firefox is reduced to a small rectangle (top left of the screen) and does NOT RESPOND to my attempts to use the Firefox browser. That's happened? Firefox would RESTORE it please the Firefox browser to my laptop.

    I was Mozilla Firefox under Internet Explore months ago. Very happy with the maintenance functions, etc. A few weeks ago, I received a message from update while doing some work but have not installed the update at that time. Another update message came with a note of support, confused indicating some dangerous consequences if I have not installed the update.
    A few keystrokes later and my screen seem to go haywire, and my laptop does not respond to my cursor. I stopped. When I restarted and went to the shortcut of Firefox a tiny icon (1 "x 1/4") replica of a part of the normal screen of Yahoo! Firefox appeared and continues to do so whenever I try to use Firefox. I am now to Internet Explore. HELP me to go back to the use of Mozilla.

    Right-click on the image of Firefox in this small window of Firefox and see if there are in this menu popup enlarge . If so, click on enlarge.

    To be clear, Yahoo! Firefox is a modified version of the official Firefox program and may have defects that are not in the official version.

    The Panel is repeated.
    Once I click on the button update moving blue line appears and nothing more and the minutes.
    Also the 'hide' button does not work

    If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

  • Windows 8 - not able to access 'Change PC settings'; Unable to create a user profile. Store/Start menu does not work.

    Hello

    Recently, I'm stuck with these issues:

    1. not able to access 'Change PC settings' - when I click on it nothing happens.

    2 start menu/Store does not work - I am using the profile of the user admin Start Menu is a blank blue screen with just the user name appears at the top right. Store is completely scratched too.

    While the guest user has all the tiles in Start menu/store.

    3. cannot create a user profile - I wanted to try to create a new user profile and check if the store is working properly. When I click on 'Add a new user in the laptop settings' nothing happens.

    I tried the system restore, but it does not solve all of the above. Is there any solution to these problems without having to reinstall Win 8? I don't have the installation discs.

    TIA!

    You can use the restore or refresh options without going in the settings of the PC.  Read the instructions carefully, it says:

    If you can't identify, or use laptop settings app, you can access these rather safe mode options. On the login screen, click on the power icon, and then hold down the SHIFT key on the keyboard while you click on restart. Now keep update until the next screen appears.

  • How can I get rid of the Yahoo homepage? Changing the home page does not work.

    A week or two before Yahoo started coming as my home page. No matter how many times I change back to Bing, whenever I have rise of Firefox, there is Yahoo as homepage. Does not he back on Bing and clicking ok. I'm a little frustrated by that. How can I get rid of Yahoo to come as my home page when I have asked yet for her?

    Thank you for your time and your consideration.

    Sincerely,
    cbrsarah

    Change the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
    For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

    When the brightness control menu does not work please give me a solution

    Hello Shaik,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem may occur because of corrupted display drivers or incorrect display or power settings.

    I suggest you to perform troubleshooting of power utility and check.
    Reference:
    Open the troubleshooter of power
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-power-Troubleshooter

    Troubleshooting of power check things as settings timeout of your computer, which determines how long the computer waits before turning off the display or enter the mode 'sleep'. These settings can help you save energy and extend the life of the battery in your computer.

    Please also to update the website of the manufacturer of the computer display drivers and check.
