Can't Get Rid of Blank Capture Window

I have been capturing video from VHS tapes from a VCR player through a Canopus ADVC-55 analog to digital converter. I use Windows 7. This was working OK, but at one point Premiere Elements 9 froze during the capture and I aborted it through the Task Manager. When I reopened PE9 a blank capture window blocking the work area appeared (see Figure). The window cannot be closed or moved, but can be resized.
I have made several attempts to get rid of it.
- I started another video capture, which opened a new capture window without getting rid of this blank one.
- Starting a new project does not get rid of the window.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled PE9. The blank window still opens when I start the program!
The program is still usable by resizing the window to such a small size that I can access the controls, but I would appreciate any advice in getting rid of the stupid thing.

Great news!
That is the first thing that I think about, when there is some hang in the GUI.
Next, launching PrE and IMMEDIATELY holding down Ctrl+Shift+Alt (not sure that all are required, but that works for PS and PrPro), until the program launches, and then accepting the Reset of Preferences.
Third, would be to look at the video driver, and compare that with the very latest on the nVidia, or ATI/AMD Web site, and install the latest.
Glad that it cleared things for you, and good luck,

Can't get rid of podcast capture initial screen?

can't get rid of podcast capture screen?

When I open the download with the "Get Info"..it is described as a Podcast Capture Document...which is NOT how it was downloaded. It was downloaded as a PDF file. When I try to open the download in the "Open With" option I can not use any application except i photo, mail, textedit, i tunes and utilities...none of these options will open the download...which as I said was a PDF file when I originally downloaded it (it was a magazine). It appears that the download has been converted into a Podcast Capture Document....and I want that to stop..
Any ideas how to keep this happening to future downloads??? If I can figure out how to stop this conversion (from PDF to Podcast) I'll be happy, because I can just down load the magazine again.
Thanks..

How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hi Bill,
I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
Ay, fonts!
Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

Can't get rid of the wireframe window

Like the title says, I cannot get rid of wireframe that is displayed when dragging a window. I tried using the command line, and using the gconf editor, still, the wireframe still shows.
Has anyone come across the same issue?
Thanks.

What gconf key did you try to modify? The command you need to run in Solaris 10 is:
% gconftool-2 -s --type=boolean /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources false
in earlier versions of JDS/GNOME (Solaris 9), "reduced_resources" was called something else, I forget what off-hand though...

Can't get rid of blank iCal Alarm window

Several days ago my MacBook pro running 10.5.8 mysteriously reset its calendar to 2000. When I reset it in Preferences/Date and Time everything was fine with the exception of an ICal blank message pane/window that keeps appearing after every sleep and start-up--the beach ball twirls for about five minutes during which everything freezes or runs super slow. I found some online conversation dating to 2009 about ways to fix this, but none of them worked for me. I tried trashing the iCal App which did not work nor did running a FixToDo dmg script someone suggested. I never use iCal and would have no problem deleting the whole program if I could. All help gratefully received. Thanks v much.

Can't get rid of blank page at end of Word doc.

I have looked all over the web but suggestions that have helped others with this problem will not work for me! I have a 2-page document with columns, and then a 3rd blank page that I don't want. I am displaying non-printing characters and can see an extra para (page break?) starting on the blank page, but it won't delete. I have tried forward delete and highlighting it but it just pops back again. Infuriating!
Another strange thing that might be to do with it, is that an empty header and footer show on the blank page, and say 'Header-Section4-' even though the previous is section 2 and there are only 3 pages.
Any help massively appreciated!

You should ask in the Office For Mac forums.

Can't get rid of blank page

In word processing mode, Pages 08 created a blank page. I can't delete that page without deleting all of the pages in the section that contains that page. The help menu says the page should go away if I delete all of the objects on it, but that has not worked. Is there any way to delete this blank page without deleting all of the other pages in the section?

Usually a blank page at the end of a Pages document is cause by extra paragraph returns after the last line or an image with wrap turned on "pushing" the last return to create a new page. It is easiest to see what is causing the problem by showing invisibles. For problems caused by an image, click the image to select it & then check the "extra space" setting in the wrap inspector. By default, all inserted objects have a gutter (the extra space) of 12 points, more than most users need or want.

Can't get rid of the black window Remote Desktop Connection left on my screen

MacBook Air thinks that Remote Desktop Connection is open but I can't close the black window (where it shows the IP Address of the computer I had remoted into). It left the black windown opened on my screen. I can't even click on any menu tabs or take the app to the trash because it thinks it's still open. Well aware I can use different screens on my Mac but I want that black window gone! Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean when you say 'I can view the main pages', but, you've probably set your video playback to full screen.
Move the cursor to the top of the screen and go to View, down at the bottom of the list go to Video Playback, and then select 'None' from the list of options.

I have succesfully replaced firefox 4.0.1 with 3.6.2 as I have a Mac Mini but not the intel chip. Everything works fine except I can't get rid of the install window and the firefox logo in a simulated drive on my desk top home screen.

When viewing videos, they would seem to running in slow motion. I thought that by reverting back to an older version that was compatible with my system that I might correct the problem.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

How can I get rid of ms Paint in windows 7?

None of the topics dealt with my question. I need to competely get rid of mspaint in windows 7 64bit. There has to be some way to do it! I just can'seem to find the way!

Since I see no reason to remove MSPaint I will at least tell you how to disable it, that way it can always be re-enabled in the future if need be.
I am assuming your using 64bit I'm going to assume your using at the very minimum Windows 7 Professional, while there does not seem to be a way to remove it without using a third party application it is possible to use Applocker policy to make it completely
none functional.
1. Open your start menu and type Local Policy in the search it should show the
Local Security Policy editor, select it.
2. In there open Application Control Policies (near bottom of list) under this you will
find Applocker, double click it.
3. Next double click Executable Rules so you see the right panel show blank space.
4. Now right click Executable Rules and select create new rule, this will pop a wizard up for you to use.
5. On the permissions page select "deny" Everyone, click next.
6. On the Conditions page select Publisher, click next.
7. In the browse window go here ----> C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe, now move the slider up to
File Name. Once you've done that click Create at the bottom of the window.
8. Now that you have created the rule, over on the left (back in the menu)
click on Applocker again, on the right in the center box click Configure rule enforcement this will pop a small window. Place a check in configured under Executable Rules, make sure the dropdown box says Enforce Rules click OK.
YOUR DONE!
P.S. If your really adamant about removing it then just use step 7 to find the file and delete it, but the above mentioned steps WILL make sure it can not be used at all even by someone that knows where this executable it even though it is still in it's
proper location.

Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.

Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.

Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

How can I get rid of windows 8.1 in my new lenovo and get windows 7 put in?

How can I get rid of Windows 8.1 on my new Lenovo laptop and install Windows 7?

Hi,
I'll assume your laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
1. Start by copying all your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favourites, local databases,
hosts files, etc) into an external disk, DVD, tape, whatever.
2. If I were you, I wouldn't use Windows 8.1 backup tool, I'm not sure Windows 7 Restore applet will be able
to read a Windows 8.1 backup.
3. Check that you have all the necessary licenses, CDs and executables to reinstall your former Windows 7
applications, components, browsers, plugins, Java, .NET Frameworks, etc. Be aware that some applications require
to keep same hostname and/or same IP and/or or same local username (or all of them) as they were on the original
Windows 7 machine.
4. Check that you have your Windows 7 CD and license handy.
5. Do you have a Windows 7 image backup of your laptop (prior to the Windows 8 upgrade)?
5.a Yes? Then restore that image and restore your personal folders on top. You might need to
install or reinstall some of the applications I mentioned on #3
5.b No? You'll have to format your laptop, install Windows 7 from scratch, create your local
user with administrative rights, install SP1, install necessary updates, reinstall all your
applications and finally restore your personal folders.
