  • Premiere Pro won't work after installing windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop. After the installation was completed I got an error message when I tried to open Premiere Pro CC. The error message says the program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing and that I should reinstall. I don't want to reinstall as I'm worried about losing work. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Firstly I must apologize for not replying to this earlier. I have done as suggested restarting my computer after installing but I still get the same error message.... I know I've left this response very late but any help would be much appreciated.

  • External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

    External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

    They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
    A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • Flash player won't work after a successful download

    About my Mac:
    OS X version 10.8.4
    1.3 GHz
    Safari: version 6.0.5
    I have installed and unistalled flash player several times, and even restarted my computer. I followed all the steps to do so correctly, but the Flash Player won't work at all. Youtube and other websites give me error messages when I try to watch a video. They say "missing plug-in".
    I really can't seem to find the problem.

  • Why the flash player don't work after installing the video downloader add-on?

    I've installed and uninstall the Firefox mobile app several times to try and fix this issue. Every time I add the video downloader add-on the flash player won't let me tap to play videos anymore. I've tried to completely enable the flash but still didn't work. I've used this add on for a few months and it worked fine up until the last Firefox update. Without the add-on the flash player works fine but after I've added the video downloader add-on I would have to uninstall and reinstall the mobile spot to get the flash to work again. I really love to use this add-on that's the advantage that Firefox mobile app has over other web browser. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. THANKS

    Hello FRYDAE
    Welcome to SuMo help Forum,
    Thankyou for reaching us here
    About your problem , have you tried to clear your privacy/browsing data? And see if flash works?
    And you can try to disable the add-on, if you don't want to use it . and enable it again if you want to download a video .
    Cheers!

  • Flash Player Does Not Work After Installing on Windows XP

    I had been playing a shockwave game for several days and had completed 19 of 35 levels. When I went to play it again, I received a message that I need to update to a newer flash player. I downloaded it successfully, but it does not work. There is no file size and I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I also changed the internet settings as suggested. I am also the administrator of and only user of this computer. I can also play the same game on another computer that has windows 7 and have no problems. I have completed 33 of 35 levels with no problems. The computer with XP has a 32 system.
    Any help  would be appreciated.

    I had been playing a shockwave game for about a week . When I went to play it again, it stated that I need to upgrade to a newer adobe flash player. I have windows  xp with a 32 system and explorer 8 browser.  After installing the flash player, it has no file siz for the player.. After I installed it, the page says it had been installed. The game still says I need to upgrade the flash player. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, changed my internet settings as suggested, and it still does not work. I can play the same game on my other computer with windows 7 with no problems. It has a file size listed for the flash player.  The computer that I am using now has windows 7 and a file size for the adobe flash player.
    Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.

  • Touchscreen and trackpad won't work after installing new OS

    i want to ask why that after i upgraded my os, and during the start up when i have to scroll down the aggrements text  my trackpad and my touchscreen won't work. is that any way to solve this problem? i beg you to answer my question please. i would be very grateful. thanks

    Did you actually upgrade to OS 7.0 or to OS 7.1?
    What OS were you previously on that you want to downgrade to?
    For the application in question, go to Options > Device > Application Management. Find the app and delete it.
    Now, go back to AppWorld and install it again and see if it works correctly.
    For most apps that I know of, if they worked correctly on OS7, they will be fine on OS7.1

  • Canon MX 860 scanner won't work after installing Mt Lion

    After upgrading my IMac to Mountain Lion v 10.8 my wireless Canon MX 860 scanner function won't work. The printer works. When I try to start the scanner either from the keyboard or the scanner I get an error message: MP Navigator EXquit unexpectedly.
    I downloaded and reinstalled the scanner driver
    mac-mx860-14_11_4a-ea8_2-1.dmg
    and restarted and it still doesn't work.
    any other suggestions?
    thank you

    You may also need to update MP Navigator to v2.1.3. If you are using an older version then trash that version before installing the latest version.

  • IPhoto won't work after installing iLife '11

    I installed iLife on both my work computer which is a '11 iMac and my personal computer is a '12 MacBook Pro. After installing I can't run iPhoto on either computer? When I try to open it on my computer it gives me a window that says "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." I've tried running updates and looking on forums that suggest 9.1 update but it will not allow me to upload it, it says I need a previous version? I'm not sure what is going on but it is very frustrating

    Open Finder, go to Applications folder, delete iPhoto and reinstall it again. Finally, open  > Software Update and update iPhoto until you have iPhoto 9.4.1

  • My Canoscan 8400F won't work after installing Yosemite

    I updated my IMac to OSX Yosemite 10.10 and now the Canoscan 8400F won't work.The toolbox won't open and none of the buttons will work. I've tried to find a new driver but they aren't making them for this system. Do I have to buy a new scanner?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite and my Canon LiDE 60 scanner stopped working. It is not on the Canon list of scanners supported by Yosemite. I downloaded and installed the LiDE 60 driver v11.1.3.1 which was the one listed for OSX 10.6, the last OSX version to list a driver. Still no luck. I eventually noticed that I currently have Canoscan Toolbox v 5.0.1.4, presumably updated along the way. Once I downloaded and installed Canoscan Toolbox, v 4.9.3.4, the one also listed for OSX 10.6, things are back to normal. You need the old driver PLUS the older (then current) version of Toolbox. This works for the LiDE 60, but the logic would apply to other older Canon scanners. Good luck.

  • Time Machine won't work after installing Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion, I am unable to restore a file from time machine. I click on the time machine icon. It shows the bakups, I click on a previous backup but the screen doesn't roll back to the date. It only shows the current files. Example: I am trying to restore an email that was lost. I try to do a restore and it shows emails up to today even though I am asking for a back-up from a month ago.
    Bob

    Sorry, but I'm still not sure what you're seeing.
    Are you starting from Mail, per the blue box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15?
    Are you trying to restore emails from a mailbox in the "On My Mac" section?
    Do the older backups not appear in the TimeLine at all, or do they appear but are faded-out?
    Posting a screenshot might help.

  • Tapping no longer works after installing Windows 7 RC using boot camp.

    After installing it i found that tapping to click no longer works in either OS X or Windows. I've checked system preferences and it is still ticked and all other gestures work except double tap and single tap. How do i fix this?

    OK, here's what you do.  I'm assuming that you've got the partition laid out and your drivers ready:
    Insert your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and hold down the C key while restarting the Mac  This boots Setup
    Run through Setup once, formatting your Boot Camp volume.  For this go-around, use a Custom install
    You will get to a point where you are asked for your Product Key.  Skip this request now!
    Install the Boot Camp software
    Next, go back to your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and allow the AutoRun.  Click Install Now on the window that opens.
    You're in Setup again.  This time, do an Upgrade.  You should be back at your Desktop when this runs through.  If asked for the key again, skip it.
    Click Start > Computer
    Now click System properties
    At the bottom of the System Properties window is a link, Change product key.  Click this link.
    Enter the Upgrade key now while you walk through activation.  It should be accepted this time.
    We've just tricked Windows into thinking it was upgraded, thereby fulfilling the license requirement.  This method works because the installer makes no check as to what specific versions of Vista or 7 the upgrade will qualify on.  In this way, it is possible to "clean install" an upgrade copy for about $100 less than a full copy.
