Blank Tip of the day window

Hi all,
We have an odd happening in one of our video labs here at work.  When launching AE CS3 (ver 8 i believe?) the tip of the day window pops up after the program launches, but it's blank.  This happens on all but one of the machines in the lab.  Nothing had been installed lately - and oddly was working up until late last night.  I have been googling - searching this forum and only found one entry that was on the windows side and it was deemed an OS problem - i.e. no help
Some info before I launch into my troubleshooting actions:
all machines are the same
Mac OS 10.6.8 ( we can't upgrade any further as the instructor doesn't wan't to teach the latest version of Final Cut)
MacPro (4.1)
Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz
6 GB ram
OS Drive 500 GB drive
Here's what I've done
Re-installed the App hoping for a quick fix - no go
Unistalled (deleting all prefs) and re-installed - no go
Located an update and installed (8.02) - no go
located user prefs and deleted - no go
I'm at my wit's end and no relief seems to be in sight.  I know I can't be the only one that's experiencing this - Basically we can't use the program at all once that blank tip screen pops up - all menus are greyed out and even AE's help is greyed out as well.  We're forced to force quit the program to gain access to the machine again.
Help!
Thanks
Joe

Well, I work at a university - we don't have the budget to do the upgrade treadmil on all the software we try to support - we've got to work with what we have - I can see that I'm going to get no where with that type of attitude - no wonder why most universities are going to find alternatives to Adobe - just my 2 cents.  I asked a question - I didn't need to be berated by a company that we've pumped tens of thousands of dollars over the years just to say well, screw you

  • Tip of the Day : Search within the log window

    hi
    Recently my JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.1) showed me a Tip of the Day about "Search within the log window", as shown in tip-of-the-day-search-log-window.png.
    It read : "You can search within any of the contents of log windows. Click within the text of the window and click Ctrl+F. A search window appears so that you can enter your search criteria."
    The tip also shows an image of a "Messages - Log" panel with a transparent "Search Messages Log" dialog on top.
    If I try this on the "Messages - Log" panel, I get the transparent dialog. But if I try this on the "Running: DefaultServer - Log", I don't get the transparent dialog (although search seams to be possible if I just start typing after pressing Ctrl+F).
    Not very consistent, or what exactly is the intended behaviour here?
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    fyi
    This seems to have improved in JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 (see also log-search2-select.png in the context of forum thread "11.1.1.2.0 : log search : no match found").

  • Tip-of-the-day in RH7?

    Hello,
    I've been looking for an answer to this for some time, but I
    can't find one: Is there some way to have a "Tip of the day"
    display in its own window when a CHM (or any HTML) help file is
    called?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Andy
    Often a Tip of the Day is presented using a special help file
    that contains only tips. And your developer creates code that
    manages it. But there are a few JavaScript solutions out there.
    Perhaps check out the links below.

  • Scripting a "Tip of the day" Text Box, Requesting Help!!

    Hi there folks,
    I need the help of an experienced scripter, I'm in the
    process of creating a website and I need help with the Flash SWF
    that will be on the Title Page.
    When someone arrives on my site I want a small Text Box to show
    a "Tip of the Day" or a Random Phrase in the swf on the homepage of
    the website.
    Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this and I cannot
    find anything to help me in the Flash Support File either. Ideally
    I'm looking for someone to post a sample script on this thread so I
    can have a look at it and learn from it.
    Any Help would be much appreciated!!

    A quick and dirty way:
    - In a new Flash document, make a Dynamic Text box (Text Tool
    -> Properties -> Dynamic Text) on your stage
    - Name it something you'll remember (example: 'my_text')
    - Add the following actionscript (preferably in a new layer):
    And that's it. This isn't the prettiest code, and hardly the
    best. Your SWF will be slightly bloated because of the use of a
    Button Component . Also, putting all your quotes inside the Flash
    movie makes it difficult to add new ones (you'll have to recompile
    every time you do) and will increase the movie's size. But it's a
    start.

  • SQL Developer 1.5: Tip of the Day Request

    <p>If you have found a hidden gem or have a keystroke or short cut that you use all the time, and you can describe it in a few sentences or small paragraph, let us know and we'll add it into the SQL Developer 1.5 Tip of the Day.
    <p>You can send your tips to us in 2 ways: using this thread or by adding it to the Exchange. The useful thing about the Exchange is that you can see and vote on each others tips, but adding to this thread might be easier. (Please don't use this thread for bugs.)
    <p>This should be fun and useful too. The developer team can add things that we think you might need to know about, but you can add things you really use.

  • Printing Tip of the Day

    Hello All,
    My co-worker is beginning the process of learning RoboHelp
    X5. He finds the Tip of the Day very useful, and prints the topic
    daily. Can he print the entire Tip of the Day file? If so, how?
    Cheers,

    Hi CR01. Yes there is a way of them doing this. Navigate to
    the Robohelp sub-directory where RH has been installed and you'll
    find a file called TIPODAY.CHM. Now the trouble is that you can't
    print multiple topics but if you could print them all one at a
    time. Alternatively, decompile its contents using the HTML Help
    Studio tool, create a new project, import the .HTM files, compile
    and then print all the contents.

  • After viewing a site with a flash window in it, the next site shows a blank rectangle where the flash window of the previous site was. This persists through all subsequent sites. How can I eliminate this flash window persistence?

    using the latest Firefox Beta, after opening Shambhala.org site, the flash window shows up as a blank rectangle on subsequent sites. I am using Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. The only way I can get rid of the blank rectangle is to restart Firefox.

    That sounds like a known problem on OS X. From the known issues section of the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b5/releasenotes/ Firefox 4 Beta 5 Release Notes]
    "Plugin content can be rendered incorrectly leaving blank white squares over web content. Scrolling or switching tabs will often fix the problem, although sometimes you must close the tab which contains that plugin content (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592453 bug 592453])"
    This should be fixed in the next beta.

  • Login Problem:  Blank screen after the login window?

    I have a user who has a 2008 MacBook Pro 15" Intel laptop running 10.5.4. It is bound to AD, with managed mobile account on the laptop (cached user credentials). The user is off the LAN right now on a road trip and is having problems logging into the laptop. When she logs in with her user ID and password, the login window takes a long time (15 minutes!) to authenticate her, and then when the login window finally goes away and the user's profile starts to load (expecting to see the Finder, Dock, menu bar UI etc), nothing happens - the screen sits at the default desktop picture and the user's account never loads.
    Her AD password has not expired. She is a local admin on the laptop too.
    Other local user accounts can log into the laptop without problems.
    I have 100+ other identical users who dont have this problem.
    I assume that a user-specific file has been corrupted. Any guess on which ones?

    Due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using​...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Tip of the Day for Big iMac Users

    I really like the 24-inch iMac but sometimes the font size in messages and used
    on certain web pages seem too small for my eyes. I don't remember where I read
    the OSX tip but it is simple and works great
    Hold down the "control" key and scroll up/down with the Mighty Mouse scroll
    button.
    Try it..... you may like it

    {quote:title=Will : Hi ! wrote:}{quote}
    Actually, if you try aRKay's tip on a Windows PC, you'll notice something similar happens
    Even better, Windoze has a "Large Fonts" setting for use on fine-pitch displays.
    The 20"-24" IMacs and Cinema Displays are approx. 94 dpi, but most (all?) OS-X apps are setup for 72 dpi -- so, nearly ALL displayed fonts are 25% undersized. For example, Safari renders all fonts 25% smaller than the web page designer intended.
    Rumor has it that Leopard will (finally!) fix this.

  • Tech Tip of the Week: Windows Powershell CMDlets

    This week’s tech tip is for all you Windows PowerShell users.If you’re using PowerShell,  you may already know about CMDlets. If not, this post is sure to excite you, as CMDlets (pronounced “command-let”) are nifty commands that will ease the process of using
    Powershell. 
    Here are 5 CMDlets to get you started:
    1. Get-Recipient | Where {$_.EmailAddresses –match “[email protected]”}
    This CMDlet will find an email address that is inside of the quotes.
    2. (Get-Mailbox) | ForEach {Set-Mailbox $_.Identity –RetentionPolicy “Contoso-Policy”}
    This CMDlet applies a single retention policy to all users.
    3. Get-MSOLUser | Set-MSOLUser –PasswordNeverExpires $true
    This sets all users passwords to never expire (Requires Azure Module)
    4. (Get-Recipient) | ForEach {Add-RecipientPermission –identity $_.PrimarySMTPAddress –trustee [email protected] –AccessRights SendAs –Confirm:$Y}
    This gives a single mailbox SendAs rights to all other recipients (groups, mailboxes, external contacts).
    5. (Get-Mailbox) | ForEach {Enable-Mailbox –identity $_.PrimarySMTPAddress –Archive}
    This CMdlet turns on archiving for all mailboxes
    Try out these CMDlets and let us know what you think!

  • When I open up Firefox I get 2 windows one with my tabs and the other is ad on manager how do I stop the second window if I try to close it both windows clos

    This problem just started when I start up Mozilla fire fox it opens 2 sessions or something the first one has my tabs form the previous session the other one is blank except for the 2nd window only has add on information, but when I try to close the second window it automatically closes the whole thing and I have to start all over again, what can I do

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
