In windows vista control Panel won't open

in windows vista control panel icloud is there but won't open. how do i fix this? also photo stream is not  working right.

Ok, I found another thread on here talking about this and in the end I had to manually delete everything in c:\program files\quicktime & in quicktime alternative and all the quicktime files and folders in c:\windows\system32
Some of those files dated back to 2003!
I reinstalled and everything is ok now.

  • Control Panel won't open/Software License Service fails to run

    I'm not sure what happened, I had left my computer on sleep for about 4 hours, I came back and I was getting these UAC messages even when I was opening elevated mode for task manager.  Soon I realized my control panel won't open.  After some googling, the problem was apparently linked to a service called Software License Service and it was either caused by virus(but I have avast..) or files that somehow got corrupted. I had:  updated my system using Thinkvantage system update + did a system backup+ ran memtest86+ + turned off AMT + turned off Intel onscreen display.  That's all I did before this happened.The error code I get when I try to start control panel through cmd is Error 34 (don't know what this means).  And Software license service won't start.
    *control panel opens fine in safe mode
    *ran sfc, there were problems that 'couldn't be repaired'
    1. Is there any way to fix this, ie is there a hotfix available or something I can just download and install?
    2.Any idea what might have possibly caused this?
    3. I did a quick restore using the backup I did and the problem was still not fixed.  Will a full restore help or will I have to resort to factoy restore?
    Thanks.  *having so many problems with the new thinkpad + vista =/*
    I have a T400(2764-CTO) 32 bit on vista business.

  • Windows 7 Control Panel won't uninstall Adobe Drive CS4

    As I am now running Adobe CS6, I attempted to use the 'Uninstall or change a program' facility in the Windows 7 Control Panel to remove an entry labelled 'Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium'. In fact, all that currently remains under that heading is Adobe Drive CS4. The Uninstall process for Adobe Drive CS4 appears to be working but then ends with the following message.
    Done
    Some problems occurred while components were
    being removed. Please see below.
    However, nothing is shown below that message except an Exit button. The uninstall process has no effect no matter how many times it is run.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this or which disk locations are relevant for a manual deletion?

    Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
    Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
    Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
    Follow on-screen instructions
    This information is NOT correct.  Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop.  It only shows the most current installation.  Photoshop is a great example of why this is so.  I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription.  Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe.  In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident.  For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe.  Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe.  So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused.  But that does not help the rest of us.
    The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications.  I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on.  So, I'd add a question for Adobe:  How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use.  Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed.  So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?   

  • Boot Camp Control Panel Won't Open in Win 7 with 3.1 BC 64bit Drivers

    I have an early MacPro running both SL and Win7 64 bit, each OS on a dedicated drive. I installed BC 3.0 drivers previously without problem. I upgraded the BC drivers to 3.1.
    Now, if I attempt to open the BC Control Panel, I get an error message stating I "don't have privileges to modify the startup disk." I have administrative privileges! I checked the properties of the Control Panel (resides in Win folder/sytem 32) and ensured that I have full user control. Also, I tried to open the Control Panel in compatibility mode with no success---same error message.
    Anyone with a similar issue?? Anyone with a suggestion to resolve the problem.

    I'm having same issue. I don't trust that simply adjusting Digital Vibrance is returning my colors to normal. This adjustmet just makes things grayer to me.
    Problems started after:
    Upgrading SL (10.6.2) on Mac side
    Installing Bootcamp 3.0 from SL disk onto win 7.
    Downloading and updating Bootcamp 3.1
    Colors all look 16 bit and saturated, though nvidia control panel says color depth = 32 bit.
    I've tried:
    Rolling back my driver to previous settings
    manually downloading and installing both nvidia driver versions separately (181.22 32bit + 197.13 64bit)
    Also tried going to control panel checking for driver updates (says latest is installed).
    I own eye-one display calibration hardware but don't want to go through this process until internal functioning appears normal.
    Any suggestions out there for me?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

    When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
    I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
    I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
    I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
    I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
    One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
    I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
    Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

  • ICloud 2.0 Control Panel won't load on Win 7 32-bit

    I installed iCloud 2.0. The install seems to work but the following issues occur:
    iCloud control panel won't open
    iCloud icon in notifications area won't open iCloud
    Outlook 2010 won't open, instead it hangs in the splash screen with "Processing..."
    iCloud is running according to Task Manager
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with the same result.

    Here's what worked for me after looking around this discussion board:
    Uninstall iCloud
    Reboot
    Make sure that if you're using a web proxy (many corporate accounts require these) that you don't use a proxy script file (.pac file)
    For 32-bit Windows 7:
    In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
    On a 32-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files" folder.
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
    Find the APSDaemon.exe file and set it Run As Administrator
    Reinstall iCloud 2.0.
    Note: APSDaemon.exe causes iTunes to hang on quit. I had it renamed to disable it but it's required by iCloud.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • TS3989 in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

    in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

    Have had some success with multiple computers running Windows 7, Vista, and Windows Server 2008 doing the following with iCloud Control Panel 3.1 (combination of several different remedies posted in forum):
    Sign out of iCloud Control Panel
    Open Task Manager and End all Apple iCloud and Photostream processes
    Delete the files from the Directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mediastream
    Open iCloud Control Panel and sign in with apple ID
    If Photo option is still greyed out, sign out and sign back in with iCloud email address and password.
    This has worked for seven users that I support across several different windows hardware platforms.  Good luck!

    I am able to transfer my photos from my iPone 4s to my PC with Windows Vista but it won't transfer my videos? Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have Vista (don't laugh) and my videos are transferred over when I plug in my phone.   They don't open up in Winodws Picture Viewer though.
    They are under my Photos, under the date created by the sync.   Do a search I'm sure you'll find them.

    I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

    I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
    source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
    1. Install WMDC 6.
    2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
    3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
    4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
    5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
    6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
    7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
    8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
    9. ... nothing else! It works!
    Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.
    Thanks, Joachim

  • Panel won't open the first time

    The accordion works fine on this page, but the first panel won't open the first time.
    It only opens the second time you click on it.
    The other panels are fine....any ideas?
    http://www.palettedesign.com/staging/al/weddings.html

    You need to remove defaultPanel: -1 from your script:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 }); </script>
    This is near the bottom of your document.  You may as well delete this entire line, though, because you have a duplicate below that doesn't have the defaultPanel:-1 variable.

    DOWNGRADE SOLUTION - Adobe Edge Animate 4.1 to 4.0.1
    I managed to copy the Application folder from one of the other Desktops that still had the older version.
    Initially there was a pathing issue to the newer version (Probably still in regedit) however I just adjusted the Application Folder name and since the path resolves it's all working now on 4.0.1 again.
    Adobe has completely changed the symbol Obj in 4.1 so if you are referencing undocumented attributes to symbols in your legacy applications you're in for an interesting day or two upgrading all your scripts. PLAN FOR THIS IN YOUR QUOTE TO A CLIENT if you intend to upgrade any Legacy applications
    Only lost 6 hours of development time.
