:( Failed install of CS2 now 'puter hangs when logged in

I was in the middle of installing Adobe CS2, when I closed the lid on my laptop just a bit too far, it caused the install to hang. when i opened it back up - everything was froze. i restarted by holding down the power button, when everything came back- i could open a window, or down 1 thing, then the same hang-up. nothing... it will boot into safe mode fine, i just need to know what to do with this- do i continue the install from safe mode, or uninstall and hope that works.
it almost seems like the install trys to continue, but the install dmg's aren't there- so it hanges. help

Glad it's sorted Johnny! Yes, that is what I was advising you to do. Except I was suggesting uninstalling first. "Safe mode" is a good way to help rule out certain issues during the install. It also forces a directory check. Also, if the issues crop up again after the install it helps you isolate them. It was also the only way you were able to boot

  • OK 4 a week. Now Firefox hangs when setting a bookmark from dropdown only. Bookmarks OK if I right click empty part of page. New WIN 7 64-bit PC. 16GBram Fix?

    I have not tried resetting Firefox 31.0 as I do not want to lose any of the thousands of bookmarks. It also hangs forever whenever I try to go to the bookmarks drop down just to go to a bookmark or even "Show all bookmarks" to create an exported .html file to back them up in case I lose them. When I do a complete and proper uninstall of Firefox 31.0, I am never asked to keep the personal files and settings as I had been in the past with previous versions of Firefox. I downloaded the latest freshest copy of the install file from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-stub&os=win&lang=en-US and installed it again and all the defaults and bookmarks came up just as before my uninstall. The problem still persists IE 11 and the latest Google Chrome installed on this same PC do not have this issue. What could have caused this and how do I fix it on a brand new PVC that all these browsers were working fine on for over a week until two days ago I started experiencing this with Firefox 31.0?

    ''''' "When I do a complete and proper uninstall of Firefox 31.0, I am never asked to keep the personal files and settings as I had been in the past with previous versions of Firefox." '''''
    That option upon uninstalling Firefox was to '''"Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations"''' - not to "keep" it. Regardless, that feature was removed from Firefox recently.

  • Just installed updates, and now not protected when I go to the web! Message from Firefox warns my Norton won't work with their updates.

    A window on the screen appeared saying Firefox updates are ready to install. Which is what usually happens. So, I installed. Then, I get a popup that says:
    This version of Firefox is not supported by Norton Confidential. You will not be protected while browsing the Web. Norton Confidential cannot protect you while you use this version of Firefox. Phishing Protection requires Firefox 1.5 or later.
    I have Firefox 15.0. Isn't that "later" than 1.5? Had I known installing updates would kill my antivirus protection, I would have chosen to NOT install the Firefox updates! But, they don't tell you until after you've installed.
    So, crap. Now I'm not protected when I go online. What now?

    also, firefox has phishing protection already integrated

  • Just installed Firefox 4. It hangs when I open any website and type in, for example, an ID, or even just click on something, for example, "Compose", in my webmail site.

    Here's the detail of what happens.
    1. Turn on computer and then click on Firefox icon on desktop.
    2. Firefox opens. Everything looks OK. Mr Bunsen's graphic is working fine.
    3. Click on any webpage link. For example, a newspaper or an online webmail page. All looks OK until
    4. Click on anything or type anything, such as in ID in a box, and bingo, the top line of Firefox goes from dark blue to very pale blue and the computer is hung. You cannot get out of Firefox or get Firefox to work.
    5. Switch off computer.
    Is this perhaps due to a clash of Add-ons. I run Avast anti-virus. McAfee came with Firefox 4 and I did not reject it. Is it conflicting wth something in my system and causing it to hang?

  • KDEmod hangs when logging out, rebooting etc

    Hello
    I just did a reinstall of Arch, and decided to try KDEmod for the first time.  Unfortunately when I try logging out, or rebooting, all that happens is that I get a black screen with a cursor and then it just hangs like that.  Does anyone know what's happening?
    Thanks

    hi John, I was able to recreate the hanging InDesign when the Folio Panel is docked (as it is inside InDesign - Digital Publishing Workspace), and when I try the same logout process with the Folio Panel as a floating panel everythings works fine.
    Hope you can fix this,

  • 10.3.9 client hangs when logging into 10.4.11 server

    We are experiencing random hang on logins, with the spinning ball going all day if you let it. While the user is waiting for login, they show as Disabled/Asleep on the Server Manager connections window.
    The only fix seems to be to force shutdown, then restart usually allows the user in.
    Wondering if anyone has found other reasons for this login problem. I see an older post which points to too many sharepoints:
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/client-management/2006/Apr/msg00122.html
    But that was with Server 10.3.9. Does that also apply to Server 10.4.11?
    I do note that there are SIX total sharepoints, but most users only mount one besides their home folder, which is the only NETWORK MOUNT.
    Is it a problem that some of the sharepoints are on the same separate internal drive as the home folders?
    If I must move these, where to? Into the same directory as the home folders?
    Any help highly appreciated by myself as well as many frustrated students!
    ...Tom

    Do you have the Microsoft UAM module installed? That was causing a similar problem for us with 10.3.9.

  • I've just installed Mavericks and now I can't log in to my Mac because it's refusing to recognise my password

    My computer is not recognising my password and I can't log in since just installing Mavericks...how can I get into my computer?

    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Then follow the instructions here > OS X: Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password
    When you are done, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

  • Coldfusion service hangs when logging into coldfusion administrator

    Hi,
    After changing the maximum number of connections to 1, I can
    no longer enter the coldfusion administrator.
    He allows me to enter the password, and then continues, but
    after showing only the top frame on the left, the coldfusion
    service hangs.
    I use coldfusion mx 6.1 on windows 2003 server and IIS.
    Kind regards,
    Thomas

    If you mean the "Maximum number of simultaneous requests",
    this setting can be changed by making an edit to jrun.xml found in
    \CFusionMX\runtime\servers\default\SERVER-INF\.
    The argument is:<attribute
    name="activeHandlerThreads">8</attribute> in the
    ProxyService section.
    Yours should show <attribute
    name="activeHandlerThreads">1</attribute>.
    Be sure to make a backup copy of the jrun.xml file before
    making any edits.
    You will need to restart ColdFusion after the change.

  • Hi, Having  downloaded Printer pro and printing my first letter, I now find that when logging in again I am faced with a Enter Passkey page, excuse the ignorance but where can I find the pass key code ???

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Printer pro and having already printed a letter last evening, I now find that on returning to the programme this morning I am faced with an Enter Passkey code.
    Please excuse the ignorance, but I didn't expect this, how di I find the Pass key code ??????
    Anyone's help with issue would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Robert T.

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Install hanging when registering automation server

    I'm tearing my hair out, as well as getting my 4rse kicked by the other half!
    We've had iTunes up and running on our Vista Home Premium box for a while, then it just stopped working coming up with an error.
    So I've tried re-installing, but 7.3 keeps hanging when trying to register the automation server. Worst still I have to kill it with Task Manager and it leaves a partial install that refuses to uninstall!
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Stuart

    Registering Automation Server hangs are actually a 7.x.x.x thing rather than a 7.3.0.54 thing. I've seen them with 7.2.0.x too.
    Perhaps try this strategy.
    First download and then install the QuickTime standalone installer:
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    If that install goes through properly, then try another iTunes install.
    (The theory here is that if your QuickTime is already up to date, the iTunes installer bundle skips the QuickTime part of the install. If the iTunes installer is given less to do, sometimes it gets past the Registering Automation Server hang.)

  • IPhone connections hangs when sending email after upgrade.

    After upgrading to 2.0 firmware on my first generation IPhone, the phone now regulary hangs when sending email via smtp. Even if I try to close the connection by putting it into AirPlane mode and back again it still hangs and from that point onwards doesn't check or send any new emails. If I then shut the phone down and restart it looses the email as it's not either in the sent or outbox folders. This has happened quite a few times since upgrading. Does anybody have any advice?

    Found this useful tidbit by mdwelsh231 on another thread:
    "I'm having this problem too. Rather than rebooting the phone, an even easier solution is to hold down the Home button for several seconds (I believe it's 8 sec) which will kill the Mail application and return you to the home screen. Restarting Mail (by tapping the Mail icon) will cause it to reconnect. I find that this resolves the connection hanging issue. However, it is still kind of a pain. I suspect a bug in the 2.0 iPhone firmware. "
    Worked for me

  • ADDT hanging when requesting login-related activity

    I have a PHP driven site which requires login. I want the login to redirect based on a URL-passed parameter, so I edited the tNG_config.inc.php file to set the default success redirect to
    $tNG_login_config["redirect_success"] = $_GET['return'];
    Now, when I try to create any server behavior that depends on a user being logged in (show if user logged in... region, login transaction, etc.), Dreamweaver CS3 hangs with 100% of the CPU running and the fans a-blasting.
    MacBook, 2GB RAM, Dreamweaver CS3 9.0 build 3481.
    Any ideas what's up here?
    James

    Did anyone figure this out?  This is driving me crazy right now - it hangs when I try to request any login related activity through ADDT contron panel, etc.
    I can't for the life of me find the answer to this on the forums.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.
