Black window on start! In fact, it's all black except the close window button!

Hi! I have just installed Firefox 4.0 RC and at first run all Firefox was black, except the title bar. I have an Asus N61JV laptop with W7 64 bit. If i set the compatibillity to Windows Xp Sp3, everything works perfectly.

Exactly what were you doing when your PC froze? Were you in the process of saving your file?
You should check your Windows logs ASAP on the chance that your computer itself is failing, before trying to do any more work with it!
I'm sorry to say that based on what you've written, chances are your Photoshop work on that project is gone for good.  There is usually no recovery.
This is why people do File - Save fairly often, and into multiple different files during long projects, when running Photoshop.
However, you *may* be able to get back a flattened version, depending on how you have the compatibility option set for saving your PSDs, by using a program like IrfanView to open the flattened composite in the PSD file.  It's worth a try.

  • T61P with x64 Windows 7 - all works except the Blue Thinkvantage button

    Anyone with an idea how to get this going? I have the update manager running and all x64 updates processed correctly. Only pressing the Blue button doesn't start the app.
    Thanks,
    Pascal

    All working for me (Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit, clean rebuild).  Applying the Intel Matrix Storage Manager upgrade broke Windows Update, but copying the iastor.sys driver from another recently rebuilt windows 7 64 system (A T510) fixed this problem.  (To be clear, make a copy of iastor.sys in the windows\system32\drivers directory, rename the copy to BAD_iastor.sys_BAD, then copy the clean version to replace the old. At no time delete iastor.sys - always have a copy in that directory).
    For me, the Sierra Wireless MC5725 device is what's hiccuping.  The System Management Interface Driver is no longer listed separately.  Anyone have an idea on how to get it?  Is it now part of another driver?  Thanks!

  • When I open Messages on my Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks 10.9.3) it opens all gray except the yellow minimize button. It doesn't let me start a new chat or access my preferences because everything is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    I saw another chat about this and tried deleting the "com.apple.ichat.plist" file they suggested but it did not do anything. Any other ideas?

    Re: Messages Menu Commands Greyed Out
    A simple solution...
    After much troubleshooting, I have isolated the issue with the greyed out "Messages" app menu. The problem is due to the truetype font Apple Gothic missing which is required for the AppleID login window when you first launch Messages. You can just hit skip when the dialog box comes up, but until you do so the full messages menus are not available. So to fix, just drop AppleGothic.ttf in <bootdrive>/Library/Fonts and Messages 8.x should launch correctly. Apple should have really included this font in <bootdrive>/System/Library/Fonts since it is required for one of their Apps
    Many people in the prepress or graphics arts fields will likely run into this issue when they customize fonts.

  • Spill Instant coffee (not black) on the close part of the mousepad of my T410 thinkpad

    Hi,
    As the title say, I spill some coffe on the mouse pad of my T410. It spilled on the two mouse buttons close to me and little on the lower mouse pad.
    I took the battery out, and put it in front of the fan for an hour or so. but it still don't start. The light that supposed to turn on doesn't.
    What parts are close to that area in the computer and can be damaged?
    hope u can help me.

    Hi talyehuda2, welcome to the forums,
    sorry to have to read about your little accident   Part of the system's mainboard does extend to underneath the touchpad, but all may not be lost.
    Quite often a defective component can block a system from starting or giving any signs of life.  As the touchpad mouse buttons took the "hit" it would be worth disconnecting the cable which connects them and the touchpad to the mainboard and trying again before starting to worry about the mainboard.  The palmrest / touchpad cable connects to the mainboard just to the left underside of the touchpad; the battery, memory cover, keyboard and palmrest will need to be removed in order to disconnect it.
    Instructions on how to disassemble parts can be found in the Hardware Maintenance Manual or you can watch the movies.  Also I would suggest leaving the system alone, without battery and power, for a further 48 hours and then trying to start it before you get the screw drivers out.
    Good luck.

  • What do I do if I can't upload photos into my photobook?   My upload always starts but then stops.  All I have the option of doing then is cancel or retry.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

    What do I do if I can't upload photos into my photobook?  Every time that I try, the upload starts but then stops.  Then the only options I have are to cancel or retry.  Has anyone else had this problem and how have they solved it?

    I solved the problem. Had nothing to do with Mac or iphoto. Problem must be my the internet connection to my provider.
    Upload at my office worked without any problem. One problem solved, now i am aware with a lot of discussions with my providers helpdesk  ;-)

  • T42P. Does not boot/startup. Black screen. All indicators except the battery and power are off.

    Hi all,
    I am new to the forum and so very desperate for help!
    I have a T42P (2373-C61) machine. All of the sudden today, it blue-screened. I turned it off, then tried to turn it back on.
    Now, it is not coming up at all. I can not even get to the BIOS or see anything in the screen!
    All the lights/indicators are off except these two: the battery/power and the little z (the on indicator).
    The NumLk and Caps Lock indicators flash every 15 seconds or so.
    The hard drive, bluetooth, and wireless lights are off completely.
    Tried getting to the BIOS by unplugging the battery and using the AC only but nothing happens when I press F1 or the IBM button.
    Also, tried a suggestion from other users that requires unplugging Battery/AC, pressing Power button 10 times, then the 11th time for 30 sec. Still nothing happens.
    No HW/SW was added to the machine recently...
    Any suggestions is appreciated..

    It can also be the LCD itself...
    BTW, if the graphic card has failed that equals motherboard replacement since it's soldered to the planar...
    Let's hope not...
    Good luck and keep us posted.
    Cheers,
    George

  • My Ipad will not start up. I had shut off normally with wake/sleep button and now will not start.

    my iAD WONT START AFTER i HAD SHUT IT OFF USING THE SLEEP WAKE BUTTON. iS THERE SOMETHING i NEED TO RESET, AND HOW?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Why can't I get the Close Tab (x) button on to the Tab Title (as it is in the Help examples). Mine is almost invisible top right with the List all tabs button next to the Window controls (close minimise)

    The close tab button is not with the tab title tab.

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Closing Out of Pop Up Windows without Pressing the Red X button

    Hey, this is my first Mac ever. I am not much of a computer carer. However, I don't want to wreck this computer. I understand with PC's you can get viruses or malware "whatever it is" from closing out of the pop up windows by just pressing the close "X" button in the upper right hand corner similar to the red "x" button on the macs. Now I know there was a way to close out of the window by just pressing Alt+ F4 and it would safely close the window. Is there any way to safely do that with pop up windows for macs?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Command-W closes individual windows that are currently frontmost.
    Command-Option-W closes all windows of the frontmost application.

  • Close window button missing from my active+inactive tabs

    Hi. Does anyone else have the problem of the close tab button disappearing from the tabs, irrespective of whether they are the active or inactive tab?
    I can only get the buttons back by pressing the big "+" and opening a new tab and presto, all the close tab buttons appear again.
    Using firefox 8 on a windows 7 laptop. Not sure if it happens every load or just sometimes, but is frequent enough to be annoying.

    Hello, and thank you for your reply.
    I have narrowed down the problem further now- it seems that when I have an open mozilla window, and then open a link from another programme (have only tried thunderbird so far), the new tab may or may not have a close tab button on it (not right 3 out of 4 times)
    Didn't seem to happen when I tried safe mode, but I only tried it 3 or 4 times.
    It's not a big issue for me, but I guess bugs should be figured out.

  • When i try to start itunes i get a message saying that the MSVCR80.dll file is missing and to reinstall itunes.  When I try to reinstall itunes it tells me that I have an Error 7 (windows error 126).  Can anybody tell me what this means?  Thanks

    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.

    Just go to iCloud on your iPad. Click on delete account - this will delete the account on your iPad only. You will be given to keep the addresses and calendar or delete the data.
    Then you create your new account on you iPad by entering your apple id.

    Wow- thanks Jim! I removed the case and voila... it worked. Knock on wood that you solved my problem with such an incredibly simple solution. I'll find out where this proximity sensor is and make sure my case does not interfere with it.
    Thanks so much.

    Hi,
    Had the same issue.  Hard reset not working.
    What I did was: start your mac/pc and open iTunes, hold down the home button of the iPad (and while holding the button), connect it to the PC with the cable.
    Keep pressing until you get a pop-up asking to upgrade or restore.
    Hope this helps for you!
