Checkplugins.out---frozen on screen.

I was fiddling around with the computer (trying to trouble-shoot the scanner I have...that's another post) and now I have this blank box frozen on my screen all of the time. I've tried going to the dock to 'quit', but nothing happens.
I turned off the computer and turned it back on and it's still there. I went to the menu bar at the top of the screen to click on the checkplugins, but nothing would drop down for me to click on.
How do I get rid of this box?
Thanks.
ETA: Simple instruction, please...I'm clueless with computers

It's me again....the person with the CanoScan problems
I went to Installers, then clicked on ScanGear CS 7.2X, clicked on the preview and then the box appeared that said, "This plugin has a 68k code'. (whatever that means).
When I tried to close the box it asked me if I wanted to "quit" or "save". I just quit, but nothing happened and the box just stayed their in the middle of the screen. I clicked on a few thing and then the box went blank, but frozen on the screen.
Anyway, I'll start up in safe mode and see what happens.
Thanks!

  • Ipod is displaying "Disk mode OK to disconnect" and is frozen on that screen.  How do I get out of that screen?

    My Ipod Nano is frozen on the screen "Disk Mode OK to disconnect" and has a large check mark.  How do I get it out of this screen?

    Hello there,
    Have you tried a reset yet?
    To do this on an older nano with a click wheel, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If it's a 6G Nano, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together until you see the Apple logo.
    Any luck there?

  • Xperia UI frozen after coming out from lock screen

    I find the app switcher and notification bar inaccessible when the phone comes out from lock screen. Swiping down or pressing the task switcher does nothing.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That's the problem, uninstall it > press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds and check again

  • IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

    Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow 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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Frozen White Screen on Email

    I have a frozen email screen (plain white) - have done a reboot, restart, delete account - all without success. Any ideas..??
    I tried to copy multiple copies of photos (c. 30) into an email as images and unfortunately the email is now frozen as a white screen.
    I have done the top button and swipe reboot, top and bottom button reboot, deleted the account and reinstalled - all no joy....!!
    However I have managed to attach a photo to an email and send it from the photo area.
    My email is an exchange type connected to a 3rd party server.
    Help....!!

    Hello nickgurr,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your Mail application is only showing a blank white screen. I also realize that you have done a lot of great troubleshooting already. One troubleshooting step I would recommend, if you have not already done so, would be to force the Mail application to close. After forcing it to quit, please try and open it fresh and test out the situation.

  • Frozen Load Screen and Bad Optical Drive

    Last week I was using the Internet to check email. It was very slow and eventually froze up (couldn't force quit or anything). I had to shut down the computer by pressing the power button. I waited a few minutes and turned it back on. Since then I get stuck at the loading screen. It just displays the apple logo, the spinning gear, and also what looks like a scroll bar underneath that.
    I have read through some other threads to give me ideas to try such as resetting the RAM and SMC, disk repair, etc. To make matters worse, my optical drive hasn't been working since December. (Basically I stick a disk in about halfway and then it makes a weird noise and spits it back out.) I've been using an external optical drive to fix that problem.
    #1. Can I use an external optical drive to boot from an OS X disk?
    #2. Is there anything else I can try (aside from what I mentioned above) as far as getting the computer past the frozen load screen?
    Thank you for your help!

  • Frozen iPod Screen

    What do I do with a white screen on iPod touch and Power and Home buttons at the same time are non-responsive?  I've read about similar problems and solutions  but I haven't found one that fits my situation exactly. The other problems have a frozen white screen, but it will time out and go into "sleep mode" or the black screen where mine doesn't.  Any ideas?

    Try letting the battry full drain. It may take hours. Then charge for an hour and then try a reset
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    ANd then a restore if necessary.

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

  • How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

    How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?  Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

  • How to get out of full screen mode in Firefox

    Have tried to get out of full screen mode by pressing F11 and f11 and esc but nothing works.  any suggestions?

    Shift-CMD-F toggles full screen off and on in Fx. Also, if you've put the Full Screen icon in the Firefox Toolbar, bring the mouse cursor up to the top of the screen. This will reveal the toolbar and you can click on the icon to return to normal.
    Get the icon from View>Toolbars>Customize. Drag it into the Toolbar somewhere.
