  • Can't write, reply or forward messages as screen will not open when these function buttons are clicked

    I can receive emails but when I try ti write a new one or reply or forward existing emails, the usual screen does not open. Instead a small window opens in the small task bar at the bottom of my screen in Thunderbird and whilst I can hover over them to see them no amount of clicking will bring them on to the full size to use. I am on Windoes 8.1

    Thanks for your quick reply but although it did not solve my problem, I found that other functions were not working this morning and after a good deal of head scratching I found out that it was the remote Microsoft keyboard attached to my laptop which was causing all problems! It was only a few months old but I have now bought another but Advent this time and all is back to normal. Thanks once again. Conway Hall

  • Motion 5 program does not open any more

    It is only the second time that I am using program Motion 5 and I only see the first small screen : does not open any more.
    Is there anubody who can help me ?

    When you say first small screen I assume you are referring to the splash screen. If so you need to double click on a template or new project icon. You can also choose from the list of projects/templates on the left listing or choose a preset on the right. Just double click on what you want or select and choose open at the bottom of the window. Motion will then open for you.

    Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

  • Firefox does not open on-screen - looks like it scrolls off to the side.

    When I mouse over the Firefox icon, I can see that the window is open, but when I click on the icon, the window does not open onscreen and it fades in and out of the right side of my screen. Runninf Firefox 7.0.1, Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks

    After clicking on the Firefox icon on the system task bar so that Firefox is selected, you can use WinKey and the left or right cursor key ( "WinKey+right-arrow") to place the window on the right half of the screen, then adjust the boundaries in the normal manner. If you have multiple monitors repeat (3 positions per monitor) until Firefox is in your current window.
    On other Windows systems or if you have turn of one of the Windows 7 features, you can use "Alt+SpaceBar" to move/resize the window.
    Also see the following article, you may have an extension that is causing problems, so refer to the article for more information.

  • After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load.  Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

    After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load.  Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

    Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
    Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
    And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded.  You can delete it if you don't want it.

  • When the iPAD is in recovery and the iTunes is visible on screen, it does not open automatically. How do I open it?

    The iPad is disabled. I followed directions to put it in recovery mode. The screen appeared with iTunes. It does not open automatically. How can I open it?

    You've connected the iPad to your computer and you have iTunes open on your computer (your computer's iTunes may not automatically open) - does that not recognise that an iPad in recovery mode has been connected to it ? If your iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then try these troubleshooting pages :
    PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows .
    Mac : iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
