Access 2010 Charts - Query runs but Chart displays black screen

Hi,
I developed a db in MS Access 2007 on my old PC and everything worked perfectly. After trying to open it on my new PC using Access 2010 the db works except the charts display as a black area.
After a bit of playing around I can say for certain that the queries for the charts are running correctly, (and of course the colouring of the chart is correct).
I tried deleting the charts but I got an error message saying "cant find the OLE library".
As I'm relatively new to creating exe files for transferring db's I'm thinking I need to bring the ole library with the db?? but I cant seem to find it on my old pc (maybe being stupid)
Please could you tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree with this, or if there is a simple fix that I'm overlooking?
Many thanks
Tom.

I was having this exact same problem, then it just stopped. I am using the nouveau driver and I have a tnt2 card.
IIRC, I was having an unrelated problem with xorg or udev or something was having problems detecting my monitor, it claimed I had two monitors connected, I wrote an xorg.conf file and that fixed the problem. IDK if its is related or not because I don't recall exactly when things started working when I would switch ttys.
Try using the nouveau driver and see if it does the same thing, it has a kernel module so it might make difference,

Firefox OS 1.3 simulator doesn't work.(runs but shows a black screen)

I am learning app development for firefox os.I installed a simulator for version 1.3 at my work place and it was working fine.I could write simple web app and run on the simulator.But when i installed the emulator on my home pc It was installed successfully but then was showing just a black screen.I am sure i have installed the correct version.I am using firefox 30.The simulator does show up in the app manager but when i start ,it just show a black screen.I don't understand why this is happening.I tried installing other versions like 1.4,but same thing happens for all the simulator addons.what could be the problem?

Hi prathamesh_13,
Thank you for your question. There should not be a black screen, and is sounds like you have already reinstalled the simulator on the second computer.
If the simulator does not show up on the app manager it may not have been properly installed.
Can you enable verbose logging:
You can see messages logged from your app in the Web Console, which you can attach to your app using the App Manager. If you want to catch early messages happening during app startup, before the console gets connected and working, you can enable verbose logging in the Simulator.
Visit about:config and create a new preference. The preference name is different for each version of the Simulator:
[email protected] for Firefox OS 1.3
[email protected] for Firefox OS 1.2
Set it to the string value "all", and disable, then reenable, the add-on in the Add-on Manager. Now extra messages about the Simulator's operation will appear in the Browser Console.

TS1587 I tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks Maja

My iMac won't start up, or wake from sleep. I've tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on, you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

Mac doesn't boot
Can you hear the fans and hard drive and see the white boot screen? Flashing question mark? The circle just runs and nothing happens? Only black screen and nothing else? These can be very helpful to diagnose the source of the problem. [1]
Flashing question mark [2]: This is usually a sign of a failed hard drive. This indicates that boot up volume can not be found.
Black screen: This is usually a sign of a failed logic board. There is no single reason for this and this may be caused by failed GPU, screen, CPU or RAM.
Circle of death/no circle/blue screen: This is usually a sign of a hard drive failure. This may NOT be a dead hard drive, just broken permissions or something
Gray screen/Apple logo/spinning gear or globe/prohibitory sign/folder with flashing question mark [3]: This could be a sign of faulty hardware but more likely a software issue, i.e. broken permissions, failed software update, etc.
[edit]
What to do
First, hold down the option key (also known as the alt key) just after you've pressed the power button. This should show all the available options to boot from, so if you have Windows installed through Bootcamp or a disk in your SuperDrive, you should be able to see them along with your OS X drive/partition. Select the OS X partition with arrow keys and press enter. Startup key combinations
If that doesn't help continue doing the steps from below:
1. SMC reset [4]. Shut down and unplug all cables including power cord for at least 30 seconds and then plug in power cord and keyboard/mouse.
2. PRAM reset [5]. Hold down option, command, P and R while booting. Start it when you hear the sound and don't let go before it reboots.
3. Safe boot [6]. Hold down shift while booting to boot into safe mode. If this works, open Disk Utility from Utilities and repair your permissions and verify the disk
4. Hardware test [7]. Insert the install disk (disk 1 in Mac which shipped with OS X 10.5.4 or earlier, disk 2 if shipped with OS X 10.5.5 or newer) and hold down "D" before the grey boot screen opens. Follow on screen instructions
5. Boot from install disk. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac. Hold C while booting. Select Disk Utility from top bar and repair permissions and verify the disk. Reboot normally and see if it works now.
6. Boot from another Mac (Firewire target disk mode). Connect the machines with a Firewire cable. Power on your Mac and press T. Select the other Mac's hard drive. Download the current OS X combo update. Run the combo update installer and select the drive that won't boot as the destination.
7. "Repair" OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and reinstall OS X. This should NOT erase any data, just replaces the system files which may have caused your booting problem. Now install the latest combo update for OS X and repair permissions on your drive with Disk Utility.
7.1. Install OS X into an external hard drive and then boot from it [8] and try to copy your data from the hard drive before proceeding. If you have done a backup recently, you don't have to do this.
8. Restore OS X from Time Machine backup. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac and choose the Time Machine restore option. This step will lose any changes made since your last backup but the system and your data will be put back to exactly as it was on that date.
8.1 Reinstall OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and select Disk Utility again. Now erase the whole hard drive and install OS X again. If you had a Time Machine backup and step 7 worked you don't have to do this.

GoLive running but wont appear on screen problem

I have a weird problem running Adobe GoLive (version 8) on Windows 7 - the program runs but wont appear on screen. I don't get this issue with any other
program and until this happened a few days ago the program worked fine on Windows 7.
When it's started, the 'title box' with logo and version number etc appears on screen and the icon appears on the taskbar, but no program appears on
screen. It doesn't matter how many times I click on this, it wont appear on screen.   If I hit Alt-Ctrl-Del and bring up Task Manager I can see it's
running in the Applications tab and I can also see it's process running on the processes tab too.
I thought maybe it had gone 'off screen' so I used all the Windows 7 tips on how to bring progs back on screen but nothing works. Interestingly, when I hover
over it's icon on the taskbar, and hold shift whilst clicking it to try to bring up the old-style maximise and minimise options, nothing appears -
although this works with every other application.
I use two screens, so I tried changing the display to use just one - makes no difference.
I then uninstalled GoLive, rebooted and installed it again - makes no difference.
Any idea why this would happen?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

My iPod Won't Show Anything But A Brighter Black Screen.

My iPod Touch 5g had been working just fine for the last 8 months, and even this morning. But, as I was getting into my car, I turned it on and nothing but a brighter black screen showed up. After a few tries of just pressing the on/off button it finally turned on. It worked for a while then, it just wouldn't turn on at all. When I got home, I plugged it in to the charger and it did the same brighter black screen. It's like it turns on in the background but doesn't let the actual screen show. I've plugged it into my computer and the wall, I've held the home and on/off button together but neither are working. It will also play music from my speakers if I press play on the speakers but it won't show me anything but a brighter black screen. Any tips?

Brighter black? Black is black. It has no shades.
Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If that's the case, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My Airplay is delivering Audio but no Video (black screen). The drop down box has a new selection "use airplay to; it does not let me select 'Mirror my IMac', it is stuck on 'extend desktop' any suggestions appreciated.

Query Runs - but XML contains no data

OK - I'm a real newbee so please excuse me if this is a dumb question.
I imported a working query into BIP. The query runs in BIP without error but all that is output is an XML skeleton that contains the correct number of rows but no data. It looks like this:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
</ROW>
<ROW>
</ROW>
<ROW>
</ROW>
<ROW>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
There is a message at the top that says "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."
As noted, the query works fine outside of BIP. Any idea why the data isn't being returned?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

There's the rub. It is in fact a rather intricate query that was not built in Query Builder. However, the query was executed using the same User ID both in BIP and in the external Query tool. The parameter values were the same as well. As noted, I think that the query returns data in both environments - it's just not making it into the XML file in BIP.
If it helps at all, here is the Teradata SQL I am trying to run. Please note that I did not write the query - it was generated by the reporting tool from which we are attempting to migrate - so please don't shoot the messenger :)

ARD 3 displaying black screen

I am running ARD 3 on my iMac to log into my power mac at work. I've been able to connect to the power mac but the display shows up as a black screen. it seems I have full control of the computer but I am unable to see anything. The problem seems to be with some setting on my Imac. I've been able to use a laptop to log in successfully with the display.

Well things got worse. Initially I could conenct to some clients but not the servers ??
Played around with it and found the answer. I thought it may be a network issue at the client end or possibly MTU size so played around with this and nothing.
SO - Changed the MTU size on MY machine in the network prefs and it all worked.
Just thought I'd post here as it may be useful to somebody.

27" Cinema Display - Black Screen

I have two of these 27" displays. One display works great. The other display has a black screen. It has power and will play music through the speaker and USB works. When I hold a flashlight up to the screen I can see what should be showing brightly and even read it (takes some work to read). When connected to the laptop it's recognized in the Display preferences etc.
This problem started by the screen going black from time to time. I could get it to come back on by unplugging etc. Then it went black and it won't come back.
I don't want to pay a bunch to repair. I'm very capable of doing the repair myself and with the tutorials online I can get it done. I've read numerous threads on this and several things are mentioned as the problem:
Blacklight or driver need replaced
Logic Board needs replaced
Power supply needs replaced (I don't see how it could be this since sound and stuff work on the display)
PRAM or clear preferences etc
I believe it's probably the backlight or driver and/or the logic board. I just don't know how to diagnose which it is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue. This a common issue with Apple's LED Cinema Displays since they first launched to replace their CCDL LCD's, it's not your system. I spent three years, using 2x 24" LED LCD"s that were problematic since day 1; power supplies and LCD panels replaced 2-3 for each. My AppleCare was due to run out in Oct., so I called AppleCare in May. Within 24 hours, they approved 2 new 27" LED Cinema Displays. Everything was working perfectly, until last night. One of the 27" displays shut down. As a communications and tech consultant (and former Apple Corp employee), I reset my Mac Pro's NVRAM and SMC, tried the display with my MacBook Air and Mac Mini, all three systems will not detect it. From my experience with Apple's horrible LED LCD's, it's definitely a power supply issue. I run my system off an APC SMART-UPS 1500 Sine Wave for servers, and my other display and 6-Core Mac Pro5,1 are fine.
Really disappointed in Apple's lagging quality. Before the LED LCD's I owned 2 23" CCFL LCD's that lasted me ~8 years before burnout began, which is fantastic. I don't know who produced the panels and internal components, but Apple had better get this together.
The thread I posted is below, hope this gains traction:
24" and new 27" LED Cinema Displays constantly malfunction, anyone having similar issues as below?

Nvidia displaying black screen on boot

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I migrated to arch after 2 years on Ubuntu. I've wanted to move a long time ago but I moved now because I really needed the Nvidia driver to work (on Ubuntu it wasn't). I am doing research in my university which requires me to program in CUDA. I installed the nvidia and nvidia-utils packages successfully. I also ran nvidia-xconfig, installed CUDA and installed the samples that came with them. When I ran the `deviceQuery` that came with cuda to check the status of the drivers I used to get (on Ubuntu as well) that no devices exist. When I rebooted I saw a black screen. I switched to tty2 and killed spectrwm (my TWM) and ran `deviceQuery` and showed that I was indeed running a CUDA friendly GPU. So I'm really happy that CUDA finally worked.
There is something running in the background and there is a UI running but I can't see it. For example I went to a tty and ran vlc song.mp3 and heard the music.
However I would really love to have a UI instead of doing everything on a tty.
Some things I tried to do
Deleted the x config file or/and the 10-nvidia file and rebooting, but end up with an error: no screen detected (the reason I have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf file)
I couldn't locate an error the X log

Looks like you have an Optimus setup. Have a look at this wiki entry - sounds like your issue.

Mid-2010 15in. MacBook Pro going to black screen requiring reset by holding power button

Hello all,
     I have been searching for a problem solution for quite some time now. I have a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro (2.4GHz Intel I5; 4 GB mem) updated to version 10.7.5. The computer randomly goes to a black screen, while the program / movie / whatever is still running (I can hear the sound) and then stalls. I then have to hold the power button down until it will reset. I will post the error message at the end of this.
     I have wiped the computer clean and reinstalled everything and that did not help. I am no longer under Apple warrenty and hoping that someone has experienced. Short of me finding an answer I will take it in to Apple. Thanks in advance for any help!

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
