Blank window on starting Desktop Mananger

I've hapiliy been using Desktop Manager to sync contacts and calendar for years, but today I found that when I opened DM I only got a blank window. It all seems to be working in the background, as when I connect my bleackberry via USB a second window opens (also blank though).
I've searched the internet, and followed suggestions for clean uninstall/install, but despite doing this a number of times (5 I think!) it still comes back with the same problem.
I''ve run out of ideas now - any suggestions?

Blank window when starting REminiscence

when I start reminiscence (an old dos/amiga) game, all I get is a blank (black) window...
reminisicence aur packet should download and extract all the necessary dos files (and it does) - but the game won't start. dos files are located in /usr/share/reminiscence, I even tried replacing them with another set of dos flashback files but I still get the same result...
i tried starting the game as root and as a regular user through konsole, and using alt+f2... even tried playing with permissions and ownership, but nothing helped..
hints?
maybe if someone would be kind enough to try this packet out and see what kind of a result he gets? or if someone already tried it, and could share his experience?
thank you

yes, I use KDE. tried it out without effects.. still everything is the same.
one more thing - while the reminiscence blank window is opened - one core of my cpu goes to 100%, so it's doing something..
as I read more on the internet, I suspect it might have something to do with reminiscence dependency - SDL which is: "Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games"

Firefox opens multiple blank windows while starting

Whenever I start Firefox, it loads multiple blank windows. It happens everytime I load it, though once in a while, it loads correctly i.e. loads the tabs which were open when I had closed it. Other than that, only plain windows which I have to close manually and then restore the last set of tabs from History>>Recently Closed Windows options. I have already set the following options to true to make the restore closed tabs feature working [as was suggested here in the forums]:
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart
browser.showQuitWarning
Any fix for it?

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Blank Window Screen, Start-Up from Window- Can't go back to Mac OS

I just bought an i3 iMac desk top (with 1080 screen default setting) only 3 days ago.
I tried to install Window 7 which I believe was SUCCESSFUL.
However it ended quickly and the screen went blank which I did not know was end of the process and Window 7 does not read the display.
I did not get to load Bootcamp driver for Window as I used iso image for Windows 7 (from an academic arrangement and done the same by a teacher who recommends the process) and the installation did not allow me to do so before the Window screen showed up blank.
So I switched off and restarted the iMac and checked the bootcamp for Window software in Mac OS. As far as I could tell, they are all there.
So I went to System Preference and selected Start UP for Windows instead of Mac OS- without changing the display mode (for lower resolution) which is recommended by the instructions (forgot to try that).
I then cold booted the machine again- it told me that I had shut down Window incorrectly in the first place and asked me how to boot up Window and I clicked on the normal start for Window. Window logo did come up then blank screen after a small number of seconds.
I turned off the machine and started the machine again. Again, 'incorrect shut down of Window and thing'. The Window logo did come and then blank screen.
The machine now start up in Windows but the screen is blank.
Is there anyway I can get back to START UP from Mac OS?
Help this is horrible........ This is first time I tried to use Windows for personal use since 1985. This bad.... I wish Apple just do the installation of Windows for people that want to use Windows as well as Mac OS to eliminate this type of horror only related to Windows. I am only using Windows for the course I am doing and for a couple of software from the course. I am no tech person at all. That is why for 25 years I only have bought Mac for my personal use. We should all write to Apple and ask them to install Windows for those that want to have it on their iMac to save all of us the problems which seem a lot from this forum.
Please help with suggestions..... I am DESPERATE........

Hold down the option key during start up - you will be given the choice of which partition to use (Macintosh HD or Windows). I am having the same problem - Windows 7 seems to have installed but it goes to a blank black screen and there is nothing to do but force a reboot. I too have an i3 iMac... Windows 7 32-bit from original disc.

Blank Window When Starting Collaboration Application Sharing.

Hi,
I have this problem at my portal (NW04 SP12) -
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/cc3541afe5db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm.
I followed the documentation and reached this point:
"If there is no session registration:
a. Set the Application Sharing Server trace file
(defaultTrace.trc) to severity info and try to start a new session.
b. Perform step Enable RTC ActiveX Control Client Logger.
c. Send both the Application Sharing Server defaultTrace.trc and
the activeX log file to support."
Where and how I perform steps "a" and "b"?
And where do I find that trc and log files?
Thank you,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,
as it follows from the document you cited: (but before that make sure that the screen resolution on machines involved is NOT higher than: 1024*768.)
b. Enable ActiveX client logging on the sharer/viewer machine:
1) in regedit
2) Go to the RTCs key, located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAPPortals\RTC
3) If the key does not exist, create it.
Add the following 3 string valued entries:
a) logdir = String represents an existing directory in which the log needs to be created (for example C:\temp).
b) loglevel = 3.
c) logsize = String represents the bytes size of the log file to be created (for example 10,000).
a. is not so important.
regards,
dimitry

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Desktop Window Manager Service on Windows 7 Starter - Any Reason to Leave It Running?

Hello everyone,
-As per title, I'd like to know whether is it better to turn off Desktop Window Manager Session Manager (UxSms) service on Windows 7 Starter - or not. I mean changing the service's default startup type from Automatic to Manual (or Disabled).
-In Windows 7 Starter, the Aero theme and desktop composition are not available at all (not even a basic/partial one), so letting Desktop Window Manager (DWM.exe) to continuously run is useless as it does absolutely nothing. Is my deduction correct?
-All opinions and suggestions are welcomed, thank you very much.
Regards,
-Musafir_86.

Please read the information posted @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa969540%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Desktop Window Manager
The desktop composition feature, introduced in Windows Vista, fundamentally changed the way applications display pixels on the screen. When desktop composition is enabled, individual windows no longer draw directly to the screen or primary display
device as they did in previous versions of Windows. Instead, their drawing is redirected to off-screen surfaces in video memory, which are then rendered into a desktop image and presented on the display.
Desktop composition is performed by the Desktop Window Manager (DWM). Through desktop composition, DWM enables visual effects on the desktop
as well as various features such as glass window frames, 3-D window transition animations, Windows Flip and Windows Flip3D, and high resolution support.
The Desktop Window Manager runs as a Windows service. It can be enabled and disabled through the Administrative Tools Control Panel item, under Services, as Desktop Window Manager Session Manager.
Many of the DWM features can be controlled or accessed by an application through the DWM APIs. The following documentation describes the features and requirements of the DWM APIs.

When I start ver 4 the first time 10 to 15 blank windows open and does not remember pin tabs?

When I open version 4 the first time, 10 to 15 blank windows open up. it does not remember any pinned tabs or go to my home page.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Another possibility is that there is a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

Firefox opens blank windows, plus a normal window with my previous sessions, whenever I start (Firefox 6 on Windows XP) so how do I make it stop doing that?

Since upgrading to Firefox 6 my Windows XP computer opens about 40 blank Firefox windows whenever I start or restart Firefox. I get my previous session (a single window with multiple tabs) but also these 40+ blank windows that I have to close. So I close them all, restart, and get same thing.

Thunderbird 3.1 starting blank window

I'm surprised I didn't see this elsewhere on the forum.
When I start Thunderbird, I see only a very small, blank window...
When I expand the window, I see a slightly larger, blank window...
Is anyone else having this issue since upgrading to 3.1?

Thanks for the help, Lux Perpetua and anonymous_user.
At the time, terminal was not spitting out any useful messages and doing thunderbird --ProfileManager brought up the same blank window.
For whatever reason, Thunderbird worked normally when I rebooted. Very strange.
Thanks again for the help.

I'm having trouble with Creative Cloud's desktop app, when I launch it it loads but it's just a blank window, can you help?

I'm trying to attach a screenshot but apparently that's against Adobe's guidelines.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times today, even redownloaded the .exe from adobe. All with the same effect.
Everytime CC loads with a blank window and the only thing I can interact with is the gear icon for Help, Pin Notification, and to Quit.

Hi Catherine,
Please refer to the threads below where this issue has been addressed:
New Creative Cloud App unusable: it's blank!
