Windows 8 will not open

I have the windows 8.1 operating system.  I've done all the deleting and reinstalling everything more than once now.
After that iTunes will open but only once.  If I close the program it will not open again.  Tried troubleshooting it through the computer but no luck!
HELP

So did troubleshooting with a different computer work or no? Sounds like you need to contact Microsoft to have them take a look into your registry and clean it up.

  • I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

    When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
    I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?
    thanks guys!

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

  • Firefox Browser window will not open or start.

    Sorry that this is long, but I wanted to make sure you knew as much as you needed to know.
    I click on the icon in my Windows taskbar, and the firefox browser window will not open.
    This was not the first of my problems. At first, Firefox would open immediately, but soon afterward, it began to slow, and soon, it took around 10-15 seconds for the browser window to start.
    Now it won't start at all.
    I will admit that I go all addon-happy on Firefox, but these extensions have never been a problem before. Here is the list:<br />
    <pre>ReaditLater
    ReloadEvery (this one doesn't work anymore, but I did have it once)
    Ookong
    PriceBlink
    StumbleUpon
    SimilarWeb
    WOT
    XMarks (I didn't use it much)
    NoScript (I recently uninstalled that one, but that might have a factor in it. That thing was WAY too powerful!)
    CoolIris
    CoolPreview
    AdHacker
    AdBlock
    AdBlockPlus
    PersonasExpression
    AntBar
    ABE (I'm not sure if this was an extension, but I know that there was
    alot of security-type addons from the Paranoid Kit, which is a
    list of addons on the addons webpage.)
    </pre>
    Oh yeah, one more thing! <br />
    I recently installed a GameVance installation thing. I'm not sure what it did, but could've had a virus in it that surpassed my security. I use Avast, if that's important at all. That thing was hard to uninstall, so I had to go back to the site to get the uninstallation software.
    I tried to use the firefox.exe -ProfileManager thing, but it kept crashing, so it was useless.
    Please help me fix this. I love Firefox. It's the only browser that allowed you to use the most addons! Plus, ALL MY STUFF IS ON THERE! I'd hate to have to change browsers (and I REFUSE to use Internet Explorer!)

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • New tap window will not open

    ''duplicate - locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/783813''
    I've asked earlier bout on Firefox that the new tap window will not open when I hit the open new tap button, but I just seen that it will open when it is forced to open a new tap window by the system..but when manually I still cnt open it @ all

    Although advised not to, I finally hit the reset button in the Save Mode Window. This corrected the problem. I suspect a faulty add-on - I try and reject many. I will add them back on at a time as I develop the need. Thanks for you help.

  • My options window will not open

    I opened my options to delete cookies and browsing history and mozilla crashed. When I re-opened and tried to do it again the options window will not open. I have re-opened browser windows several times and still nothing happens when I click on options.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • Finder window will not open

    Finder window will not open from the dock unless I right click and click "New Finder Window".  Currently running Yosemite 10.10.3 (14D87p) public beta (iMac - 27" late 2013). 
    Tried the following fixes:
    1.  Deleted finder.plist and restart.
    2.  Force quit Finder - when I do this, I get the "Finder not responding" and have to restart computer and right click for "New Finder Window".
    3.  Perform "disk permission repair".

    Well I'm glad that I"m not the only one with the issue. I'm also running Yosemite 10.10.3. About 2 days ago Finder stopped responding. I have reported it via "Feedback Assistant".
    I did create a new profile and it does open with a new profile. Which is kinda strange. I have also done items 1-3 listed in the original post.
    I will keep an eye on this post to see if anyone solves the issue at hand.

  • Firefox will not open. Process runs, but browser window will not open.

    I am unable to get the Firefox browser window to launch. The application will attempt to open, but the browser window will not appear. Task manager indicates that the process is running, it just will not launch the window. No amount of restarts or reboots will make a difference. The strange thing about this is that Firefox has never run. This is a new computer and this issue has been a problem since it was first plugged in.
    Troubleshooting steps attempted thus far:
    1) Attempted to open in safe mode - will not open
    2) Attempted to run in administrator mode- will not open
    3) Completely uninstalled application, including profile info and reinstalled
    4) Uninstalled known conflicts - Skype 4 (do not have Norton)
    5) Even though issues since new, I ran a virus scan just in case-nothing
    6) Uninstalled Chrome which I installed after originally being unsuccesful at getting FF to install (I uninstalled it before I began all of these troubleshooting steps as I have heard of conflicts)
    I am now at a loss and willing to try any other steps that you guys can suggest.
    Computer is running Windows 7 pro 64 bit. Running McAffee virus software. There are three identical computers in my office, purchased at exactly the same time with the same configuration. Mine is the only one that will not run firefox. Sadness. Please help, pleeeease...

    Win 7 with iTunes installed - I was also having problems with that.
    "netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt resolved all issues and Firefox launched normally.
    Check to see if Winsock is corrupted. May prevent FF from communicating with the web and consequently fails to launch properly - for my situation was not a firewall or antivirus block!
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211#LetMeFixItMyselfAlways
    Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.
    Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
    netsh winsock reset
    Then, you should see the following message:
    Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
    Restart the computer.
    Note If you receive an “Access Denied” error message instead of the message that is mentioned in step 3, the command prompt was not correctly elevated. In this case, close the Command Prompt window, and repeat steps 1 through 3. Make sure that you correctly implement step 2.

  • A second browser window will not open and then closing the 1st window firefox will restart. Taskmgr shows it still running, it will not restart until I end the process in taskmgr.

    I open the browser and close it every thing is fine. I open the browser and then attempt to open a second browser window, it will not open. Now because I've attempted to open a second browser window firefox will not restart after closing the open window. Until I've shut it down in the taskmgr. This just started the other day and I have removed the only update I made that was "flash" and I removed the 64 bit version of firefox.

  • HT5361 My Mail window will not open.

    My mail window is not opening. The bar at the top pops open, but nothing else comes up and I have to restart my laptop to close it.

    Have you tried File/New Viewer Window?
    Will it Force Quit under the  menu or command - option - esc?
    After the admin accout (above),  try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • New window will not open even when "open new window in tab" is checked

    I cannot open a new window even when i have the option "Open new window in tab" checked.
    Firefox will NOT open a new window under any circumstances.
    Also, when I quit Firefox, the system thinks that multiple instances of FF is running but they are invisible to me.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Missing iphoto photos/ window will not open?

    While working with downloading photos from a CD, I dragged some files from my hard drive Pictures Icon into the trash. When I tried to open iPhoto again, the wheel just spins and iPhoto will not open. I went back to "Pictures help" and read that items should not be moved from "Pictures." because it may affect iPhoto!!! I dragged everything from Picturers back out of the trash and back into the Pictures window. iPhoto still will not open. What can I do now to open iPhoto?
    imac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iPhoto 4.0.3

  • ITunes window will not open

    I can play iTunes but the main window will not appear. It isn't minimized or hidden. The program is open and functioning, menus are there, Equalizer opens OK, but I just can't view any music (or the Visualizer UNLESS I'm in Full Screen mode under View). Using 8.0.2 with Mac OS 10.4.11 and I have no idea why it started happening. I launched iTunes and the window just never opened. Any ideas?

    Mike,
    Several people have found the iTunes window almost off the bottom of the screen. Use the  menu to hide or move the dock and see if you can see the iTunes window and drag it back on the screen.
    You could also try using Exposé (typically the function 9 key) to show all windows. If the iTunes window is exposed, click in it.
    You can try using system preferences -> displays to change your display resolution and you might find it.
    Lastly, if you are using Spaces, is it in another space?
