AIR Window cannot contain MenuBar's or ComboBox's (popups)? HELP!

Hello all,
Trying to use an AIR Window instance to show some content. Apparently, an AIR window cannot display pop-up content. In trying to add a child menubar (mx.controls.MenuBar instance) to the window, the menuBar simply fails to be displayed. Checking the parent, etc, shows that the menuBar IS the child of the window, it is visible, and has dimensions that should be shown. It simply does not show up in the window. Also, a combo-box is messed up. The button to drop-down the list does not appear, and so i can't get the drop-down box to show up. Why? This is madness.
I suppose i might use a nativeMenu for the Window (assuming/hoping it will work) rather than the flex MenuBar, but what about ComboBox's. Can't use a combo-box in the window? Now wondering how other content may have problems (context-menus, other popups).
Has there been any docs on this sort of thing. Couldn't find anything specifically for this type of error.
Basically, Window's are somewhat useless if this is the standard behavior.
Using FlashBuilder 4.Halo. Flex. Standard stuff. NO spark.
Thanks much for any help!

Yeah same problem here. Restarting helps, but I **** well am not going to restart with all of my opened emails and applications. Apple has lost a lot of money due to this issue over the last few days, as have the artists. These guys should take off their turtlenecks and put some proper QA into their product releases. Two Apple products that do not work together is pretty pathetic.
Seriously thinking about going back to PC...

Worst case scenario would be to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. I deleted it and the unresponsive script and warning disappeared without any other complications.

Getting Error Windows cannot find Adobe Air installer

Trying to install Adobe Air. Installation file wont run. Get error when i run the file.

MB Air 13", cannot move windows to secondary monitor

MB Air 13", cannot move windows to secondary monitor. The pointer moves to the secondary monitor, but when I grab a window and move it, it stops at the screen border

Comment from Berntfromhasselby:
Thanks for the good advice, but it was too advanced for me; I do not know how to go to setup or startup. Then I thought I can search for it in "help", but I did not find anything about setup there. I only found something about safe start, where I had to switch off the computer and then press "shift" immediately after a sound during start. I tried that, but nothing special happened. So I thought I had to give up, and remembered once I asked a friend, who is computer specialist, why the help often is of no help. He said that it is obviously very difficult to help people by the help function.
Then I set the computer to sleep. For some reason I started it again, and NOW it was quick! It was repaired!?! So the next question is:
Do MacBook Airs also need to be switched off sometimes, so they do not become slow (when only using sleep)? Are they somewhat similar to PCs which can become slow with time due to accumulation of some trash (and are difficult to make quick)?
Then today I liked to listen to Mozart's beautiful 20th piano concerto on You tube, but now it had no sound?! I tried help again and found Sound, but the were no loudspeakers available and everything there was grey, so I could not change anything..... Do I have to go to some service? I took my other MacBook Air (11") and listened to Mozart and noticed that I need to have two of the best and most expensive computers in the world to be sure to have one working....
Then I remembered the most important PC-rule I learnt from my daughter's boyfriend: if you have some problem, restart! I did so and the sound was there again, probably it disappeared during the safe start procedure. "If anything can go wrong, it will." Ironically, I have been working as professor at a technical university, but in fiber optics, not with computers...
I any case, it is good now, so the problem is solved. Thanks again!

Cant install or uninstall Adobe Air. Keep getting error message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found"

I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe AIR for Flixster. When I tried to open Flixster I recieved an error message saying i needed to install Adobe AIR. I looked and saw that according to control panel, Adobe AIR is installed. I attempted to uninstall but get this EXACT message:
"This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version."
I have tried going to the mentioned website but i get an error message saying installation failed and may need administrative privilages but I AM the administrator!
I then tried multiple solutions on the forums including the command prompt uninstall and still no luck. contacted customer support who told me i can only receive assistance through these forums.
Very frustrating. Please Help.

I have the same issue with a customer of ours:
Try to uninstall AIR – same message. (When I reinstall, the install says it’s successful.) I try to run our app, same message. I downloaded another AIR app, same message – so it’s not our app it’s AIR. We logged in as Administrator, same message. It’s a Windows7 machine. I did a system restore to 2 days ago and started over and still the same issues. I tried running the Windows Fixit to uninstall https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall – didn’t work.

Help: Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware

I want to recover a complete image of a Windows 7 operating system I have backed up to my other server. But I am getting the error "Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware. The System Image was created by a computer using BIOS and this computer is using EFI"
The image was definitely taken from this machine - the firmware has not changed!
What do I need to do to restore the image?
Background Story ..
I bought a new HP 255 laptop per-installed with Windows 7 without Operating Systems instal disks (I will NEVER be stupid enough to do that again!).
I took a complete image of the systems, as suggested so that I was well backed up.
However, my machine corrupted its operating systems with a few weeks. The boot recovery CD did not work (would not boot). So in desperation, and because time was short I went out and bought another, legitimate copy of Windows 7 DVD with a license key (So now I have 2, legitimate copies of the operating system!).
I installed the new copy of Windows 7 - but it was dreadful, because many drivers were missing. Mostly the missing drivers were not available on the HP support site for this machine. ALso, boot up was increadibly slow compared to the original OS installation.
So I created a new boot recovery disk from the new version of Windows, and tried to restore using that. New boot disk loads ok, I can find the old image on my network (after loading a few network drivers). But I won't instal the image - giving the above error message.
I tried deleting the EFI partition from the disk (using GPARTED to reformat that partition). That killed the Windows 7 on the machine - but still gives the same error message when I try to re-image the machine.
I have tried going into the BIOS settings .. HP 255 has a "Legacy Mode" - which I have enabled, but this makes no difference at all!
I think that the kind of solutions I am looking for might be:
1. There is a clever way of disabling EFI on my 255 so that it looks like a legacy BIOS machine, or
2. This EFI this is wired into my new boot recovery disk - and there is a way of creating a boot recovery disk that does not use EFI
This has taken me about 2 weeks so far,please help with any suggestions!

Erico,
I suspect that "MSDOS" is what the Gparted tool calls "MBR" for a partition table, as explained here:
http://superuser.com/questions/700770/mbr-equals-msdos-for-gparted
I think that you are suggesting I give up on trying to recover the image I have stored on my server and just to instal Windows 7 from my new copy. There are two problems with this.
1. After having systematically downloaded all of the drivers from the HP 255 notebook support page, I am still seeing missing drivers listed. Install the AMD graphics softpaq driver first. It also contains the chipset drivers.
2. The machine is taking a hugely long time to boot up, and seems much slower with this version. Maybe that is a product of using "EFI" rather than "bios" - I don't know.
My assumption is that HP had some special set-up option with their version of Windows which makes the machine more performant. It does not seem to be a coincidence that the image they deliver the machine with is not quite compatible with a 'normal' Windows 7 instal.
So my original question stands: How do I recover the image that I saved away (as per instructed) when I first bough the machine?
You still have not said what you used to create the system image. What is the "image" file's extension?
You are mistaken in your comparison. MSDOS is an operating sytem MBR is a partitioning scheme. that is comparing apples to oranges.
The article is making an oblique reference in that using GPARTED is more or less equated to using the diskpart utility at the command line. Everything done at the comand line is essentially done by use of MSDOS commands. GPARTED does the same thing with LINUX commands via a graphical interface so you don't have to type in the commands in a Linux console.
Do you mean making a backup? a backup is not a clone which can be reproduced on different hardware. The SSD disk replacement does make the hardware differ from the original configuration.
Follow the instaructions on the following tutorial to make your disk a GPT type before installing.

Can't open Thunderbird..icud+52.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains error. extra error msg can't ld xpcom

having lots of problems with TB lately but until today it worked itself out somehow....now today I- can't open it. suddenly after being prompted to update TB I get error messages. 'program files(x86) Mozilla/Thunderbird/ icud+52.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains error. install again or contact software vendor' then after I click that away get another one 'cannot load xpcom' . I am not very tech savvy with computers but have tried every reasonable thing I trust myself doing. I thought it might have to do with a an outdated Firefox so reinstalled that. I have searched high and low on how to uninstall TB and reinstall again WITHOUT losing any emails...,but none of the answers I found on this question are clear about this so I don't dare to do it yet. I don't have my pop address emails redirected anywhere else (not to webmail) so only access them via TB on my computer. How can I solve this without losing ALL my existing emails and email folders?
thanks in advance.

Hi Chanpuff,
I have a look at my own Windows 8.1 machine, the sqmapi.dll in 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Portable Devices' is 217KB and in “C:\Program Files \Windows Portable Devices” is 272KB.
If you want to make a modification to the files, it is recommended to make a restore point and backup the important data to reduce the risk of unexpected error.
“Would it be safe to try it out? Or are there other possible solutions?”
The SqmApi.dll is a part of system ,we don`t recommend to try to repair it with a thirty party software. We cannot verify the safety of the software.
I agree with
DonPick, to ensure the safety of the whole system .It is recommended to have a full scan of the whole system.
Best regards

In coded ui how do you correctly retrieve a browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader in browser

I'am running across this issue when I'm debugging or running my coded UI automation project, where i get the exception labeled "{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException}"
everytime i come from a browser window that contains a pdf reader embedded in it. This happens every time I retrieve the window and try to click back. It barfs when i perform the back method on it. I've tried different things but none has worked including
the playback wait.
var hereIsmypdf = ReturnPDFDoc();
public BrowserWindow ReturnPDFDoc()
Playback.Wait(1000);
var myPdFdoc = GlobalVariables.Browser;
return myPdFdoc;
hereIsmypdf.Back();
skinny_Will

Hi skinny_Will,
<<"{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException
According this exception error message, I did some research about it. I know that this exception error is occurred in
COM object which was disposed if you are using the COM objects in a same static class or variables which ware shared between tests.
So please you refer the following blog to use ExecutionThread element to instruct the test to use the MTA threading model. This way, the static instance of "store" can be shared across tests.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/archive/2009/12/31/unit-testing-com-object-that-has-been-separated-from-its-underlying-rcw-cannot-be-used.aspx
Note: if you are using the VS2013 to create the coded UI test, you will need to add a test setting file to add this
ExecutionThread.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256991.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In addition, ad you said that when you playback the browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader and then it could not work.
I suggest you could try to add more searchproperties to find this target control and then check this issue.
I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Steve's code to check your issue.

Hi,
The OS partition is a Dell preinstalled volume. Since Dell indicates the FAT32 partition contains the UEFI build and should not be reformatted/converted, you could simply skip from backup as it is not related to operation system.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
Windows Server Backup Error: "Volume(s) OS have and unsupported files system and cannot be backed up."
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/20bbebf6-b0f8-4ae7-af0d-48b037876ef8/windows-server-backup-error-volumes-os-have-and-unsupported-files-system-and-cannot-be-backed?forum=windowsbackup

Hi, Mandy
Thanks a lot for replying. The problem is that the OS partition is marked as System. When creating a System State backup, the System partition is presumably included because it has to be present in order for the server to boot. You are not given the
option to skip the partition when trying to do a System State backup.

My win 7 home premium cannot connect the sharing printer (EPSON L1100) in Windows server 2003 it say "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"

in My office there is a win server 2003 R2 computer, i install a printer Epson L1100 in that computer, and it successfull, and i can print using that printer from that computer..
I already share this printer, but when i try to connect the printer from my laptop using OS Win 7 Home Premium.. it has error
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"...
and then i try connect using other computer but same OS (win 7 Home premium) it still has same error...
i usually connect to the server computer using //(the ip of computer) , for example
//52.30.20.66 .. that is my IP server..
and than i right click in shared printer which appears in windows explorer, and i choose
Connect... but it contain error "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"..
anyone know the solution from this error???
i`m sorry if my english is bad.. i`m from indonesia

Got a local password/username on your Win7 ? Create the same on the 2003R2 as you seem in workgroup
net user /add useraccountname mypassword
net localgroup users useraccountname /add (I think it's users the name, you can validate to be sure) or
net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add in worst case.
nb, or add the user guess in the printer share security

Windows cannot write to boot camp

I am using OS X 10.9.4 and boot camp is running windows 7. When I try to get onto windows it won't let me so I checked some code and it turned out that Windows cannot write to boot camp. Please help me solve this.

Does 'get onto Windows' mean you rebooted your machine and switched from OSX to Windows?
When you check 'some' code, is it the Windows Event Viewer error codes you are referring to?
Windows cannot and has never been able to write to Bootcamp. Bootcamp is a utility (Assistant) and an Installation Manager. Default behavior between OSX and Windows files systems is that they can read files, but cannot write files across partitions which contain these OSes.

OS X Mavericks: Window cannot span 2 monitors

I am using a MacBook Air (13", late 2010, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB, Mavericks 10.9.1) and just connected it to an Asus 27" display connected by DisplayPort/HDMI. Unlike in previous setups, I cannot get a window to span both the Asus and the Air displays simultaneously. I have it set so that the Asus monitor is both physically and logically (ie, in Display preferences) right above the MacBook Air display.
I can move a window up and down, from one monitor to the other, no problem. But if I try to move a window so that it "spans" two monitors, it won't do that. Instead the window runs downward in a semi-translucent image until the window is completely into the other monitor's area, at which time it turns solid and will stay on the new monitor. But a window cannot "span" from one monitor to the other ... it's either on one monitor or the other.
Is this a Mavericks "feature?" Or due to a lack of video card RAM? Or a setup issue? Anyone heard of this before?

Satellite S50D-A-10G - Windows cannot activate at this time

Good Afternoon One & All
Can anybody help or advise me please on a few issues that I am having.
I have a Toshiba Satellite S50-D, which I bought from Laptop Outlet Ltd through Amazon in Setember 2014.
Was really happy with it until recently.
I activated Windows 8.1 when I first received it but just lately I am getting messages saying that I need to activate Windows.
This I have tried to do several times & each time that I do the screen shows that " Windows cannot activate at this time please try later " I dont get get a telephone option to phone, and so am confused as to why I am being asked to re-activate.
I tried to contact the vendor who told me to contact Microsoft, this I did & was told that the product key that came with my laptop is for Windows7 or Windows 8 not 8.1, he told me to get in touch with Toshiba for a new Product code,this I did & after an hour on the phone where the Toshiba engineer remotely went through my laptop informed me that I have a trojan (which Norton nor Eset Nod 32 discovered BTW) & that he could sell me an AV software for 99, at no point did he try to give me any advise on why the product ID would not work nor did he try to give me another code to try.
Is anybody else out there finding that they are being asked to re-activate Windows 8.1 which comes pre-installed on their laptops or anyone who knows how to fix this issue?
Sorry for the long winded post, but needed to vent as getting quite frustrated & dont really want to take laptop back to factory settings & lose all my stuff.
Stephen

Hi Stephen.
Just some essential information:
the notebook was preinstalled with Win 8.1 64bit OS.
This OS is preconfigured and will be activated automatically connection the notebook to internet for the first time!
More info:
Windows 8 has not been automatically activated after the first boot of your new Notebook
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ET0000R01.htm
if the system cannot be activated even connection to the internet, perform the HDD recovery and try again.
You said you are novice: well, the notebook contains preinstalled user manual. I recommend you to read the whole document.
There you can find necessary and useful info about the notebook.
